    Did you know the average employee loses 600 hours a year due to distractions?

    That’s a lot of untapped potential.

    And a lot of anxious people.

    Our guest on the show today is Mike Lee, a best-selling author and globally recognized keynote speaker whose entire body of work is dedicated to helping leaders find focus, block out distractions, and get more done with a calmer mind.

    Mike and I talk about how to be more present in the way you work, live and lead. From separating yourself from the constant notifications, algorithms and open tabs to dealing with the anxiety that comes with owning a business, leading people and being a human in 2024.

    If you want to be more focused, more present and more mindful, this one’s for you.

  • 174. Turn Your LAGGING Indicators into LEADING Indicators - Brayden Russell

    We all know the standard KPIs we need to track the success of a business. Dollars sold. Dollars produced. Gross profit. Net profit.

    The only problem with these all-important metrics is that they are LAGGING indicators.

    We find out about their performance AFTER the activity that drives them has already happened. They tell us whether we achieved the results we wanted, but say little about how to get those results in the future.

    This is where LEADING indicators can be instrumental in helping you lead your team.

    If you tell your project managers to raise gross profit next quarter, they won’t know how.

    But if you tell them to keep their materials expenses below 15% by following a more efficient ordering and purchasing process.

    They actually stand a pretty good chance.

    Today, Breakthrough Academy Coach Brayden Russell is on the show to break down how to turn your lagging indicators into leading indicators and orient your team towards success.
