While it’s true that influence is the core of leadership, truly remarkable leaders are ones who possess specific leadership qualities that they have […]

Entrepreneurs excel at creating solutions to big problems, but they all seem to struggle with scaling a business. These big thinkers often use the concepts of scaling a business and growing a business interchangeably, but in reality, they’re two completely distinct concepts. For example, consider a successful startup or new small business: Without a clear […]

If there’s one lesson I’ve learned from owning more than a dozen companies, it’s this: leaders anticipate change while the losers are left reacting to it. And if we’ve learned anything from the past couple of years, change is the ONLY constant in life and business. Technology is like a personal trainer pressing the UP […]

We often hear success stories about new businesses immediately hitting the profit jackpot.

It collected 635 GB of data, traveled 4.9 billion miles and took over 450,000 pictures in the span of 20 years. Cassini was productive and dedicated to its mission – just like a business owner. After a […]

The old model of advertising is broken. Why? Because it’s too crowded out there. As Tony explains at Business Mastery: Ten years ago, on average, it took a person four exposures to an ad before they took action – meaning if they had an interest within four exposures, the average person would follow through. Today […]

Entrepreneurs have existed since agricultural tribes traded their first stone tools in the marketplace. King Croesus minted the first coin in the sixth century, and up until the 19th century, most businesses were small businesses. So what’s so special about a startup vs. small business? Once technology entered the picture, business models began to diverge. […]

Some examples are Donald Trump putting his daughter and son-in-law into advisory roles during his presidency and John F. Kennedy nominating his brother as attorney general.
