How to Help Your Employees!

Defining YOUR Success What is success?  Are you experiencing it?  Or is it vague and elusive and frustratingly just out of reach? In this episode we delve into the topic to better understand 1) why so many business don’t have a clear definition of success for themselves 2) the amazing power that comes from creating a clear definition of success for our businesses and selves 3) some tips on how to develop a working definition of success. Enjoy and happy fabricating!

Defining YOUR Success

As your business grows and evolves, it becomes more necessary to rely on written words instead of spoken words. Spoken and verbal communication leaves the door wide open for misunderstandings and memory lapse, not so when it's written down and recorded for future reference. Enjoy and happy fabricating!

Big Risks If It's Not Written Down

It's easy (and common) to duck, hide, and avoid certain tasks and actions in our stone shops.  But if we let that happen, we run the risk of missing out on opportunities and results that we want.   There is too much at stake to let an opportunity slip through our fingers due to in-action.   Enjoy!  Happy New Year…and Happy Fabricating!

Origin of Results

Season 3 launches with an incredible interview that I had with Michael Bungay Stainer. Michael Bungay Stanier is at the forefront of making coaching an everyday leadership behavior. He is the author of The Coaching Habit ... the best-selling coaching book of this century with over 700,000 copies sold and 1,000+ five-star reviews on Amazon. His new book, The Advice Trap, focuses on what it takes to stay curious a little bit longer and tame your Advice Monster. In 2019, he was named the #1 thought leader in coaching, and was shortlisted for the coaching prize by Thinkers50, the “Oscars of management”. He was a Rhodes Scholar. Michael is also the founder of Box of Crayons ... a learning and development company that helps organizations transform from advice-driven to curiosity-led. He left Australia nearly 30 years ago to be a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University ... where his only significant achievement was falling in love with a Canadian ... which is why he now lives in Toronto, having spent time in London and Boston. Balancing out these moments of success, he was banned from his high school graduation for “the balloon incident,” was sued by one of his law school lecturers for defamation, and his first published piece of writing was a Harlequin romance short story called “The Male Delivery.” Listen to Michaels podcast here: "We Will Get Through This"      Download the first 3 chapters of my book, Less Chaos More Cash, for FREE at www.AaronCrowley.com Email me at Aaron@AaronCrowley.com  Aaron Crowley - Instagram Connect with me for One on One Coaching "If you are a highly motivated stone shop owner and desire to make big changes in your business and life, I offer one on one coaching/mentoring for 2-3 clients at any given time.  If you would like to experience the same kind of rapid growth and development that has transformed my business thru coaching, I’d like to connect with you and let you experience it firsthand!  Visit  www.AaronCrowley.com for more information." - Aaron Crowley
