How to Match the Pitch to the Deliverable.. At Scale
You know the game. You hire an “expert” external resource to fill a gap, help you accomplish something important by way of their expertise, only to find out that the pitch doesn’t match the deliverable. So where is the disconnect? I believe it comes down to one thing: Solid Process. Lack of process is chaos. Lack of process holds us back from differentiating ourselves and most importantly, it keeps us from becoming a scalable company.

3 Easy Ways to Overcome Your Delegation Hesitations
Every day we help people make the most of their day through delegation. Over the years, I have spoken with hundreds of entrepreneurs at every growth stage about the struggles they face with “handing things off.” They inherently get that having a delegation strategy is a critical part of their growth, but they are consistently resistant to executing it.
Delight the Customer
Happy Friday! I'm finally back in the office after back to back travel and a nasty virus in between! I had the amazing opportunity a few weeks back to attend the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Alumni Summit down in DC. It was jam-packed with entrepreneurial superstars like Richard Branson, Tyler Perry and Warren Buffet alongside legislators like Bloomberg, Rubio and Scott.

Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JPMorgan Chase to partner on US employee health care
A partnership has been announced between Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JPMorgan Chase to cut health-care costs and improve services for their U.S. employees. Together these giant companies employ more than 1.1 million workers and will team up to target technology solutions to simplify the health-care system and remove profit-making incentives. Following the announcement shares of Berkshire and J.P. Morgan fell slightly, while Amazon edged higher. Principals of Amazon, Berkshire and J.P.

Believe (in) the Hype!
It's an e xciting start to the weekend here in Philadelphia. Our Eagles are Super Bowl bound , and our city's energy level is at an unprecendented height. To the right, my son- Underdog Nathan- headed off to school today. :)I've been a rabid Eagles fan my entire life. Growing up, I remember the days of Buddy Ryan. My grandmother, a die-hard Iggles fan, used to sit outside in her green satin embroidered Eagles jacket listening to the game on the radio and cheering on our team. Even before I really understood the game, I had an ingrained love for the Eagles and the sport.
Know Yourself, Know Your Worth
Lots of businesses are born from great ideas, or rather, from a person’s confidence to pursue that idea, and their ability to know themselves and those around them during the process. Some entrepreneurs feel weighted because they try to take on too much and feel guilty when they don’t succeed at everything.
The truth is, you won’t personally be good at everything -- but the good news is that you don’t have to be. The key: your actions should be louder than your words.
