Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Running your own business presents you with the opportunity to rewrite outdated work rules. As you model for your community, make sure the projects and revenue streams in your business align with your values, energy, and strengths.

#2

Aligning your business and projects with your own values, energy, and strengths is the first step towards making them flow. Agile operating principles, combined with a digital externalized mind that contains all context for your company, will create the necessary infrastructure to allow everyone to work independently and effectively.

#3

Operating principles are derived from core values. They communicate the higher-level philosophy driving the processes required to operate your team's projects. Principles guide those process details at a higher level.

#4

I made my way to the airport and checked in with my friend Julie, who I featured in Pivot. I would be visiting her in London before returning to the states, but was set to arrive one day prior to her own return home from a hectic work trip.

#5

Your operating principles, whether you are aware of them or not, are already serving as a foundation for systems you do or do not have in your business. articulating them is crucial as you expand your team.

#6

Once you and your team are clear on your company’s values and operating principles, you won’t have to explain yourself as much down the road. Feedback becomes tied back to both, empowering everyone with shortcuts for decision-making.

#7

The Fiji Test states that if anyone were whisked away to an island vacation without notice, the business could continue operating smoothly without them. This means every piece of data must live outside of any one person’s mind.

#8

Your brand is not just your logo. It is the visual voice of what you are creating, and it should be consistent across all different forms. It is an investment, not a cost.

#9

I make a concerted effort not to swear in general, particularly on podcasts and in writing. Some shows and hosts pride themselves on being real, while others want to ensure shows are clean enough for parents to listen to while commuting.

#10

Your Manager Manual and style guide are subsets of your brand. They should include the intentions, vision, and core values of your company, as well as the logo, icon, and image guidelines.

#11

The externalized business mind is able to detach from details and enjoy them. It is not taught in school or addressed in workplace training, but it should be.

#12

You can reduce unforced errors by systemizing the spirit of your business, operationalizing core values so they go beyond words into repeatable actions.

#13

The surprise and delight value can be operationalized by a helpful and candid customer service reply, as happened when I sent constructive feedback to one of my favorite gifting services, Greetabl.

#14

Select a gift and write a message. The process allows you to personalize the note, even if team members place the order. The team then places the order, and you check a done box once the gift has arrived.

#15

The way you bake is as important as what you bake. If you and your team tackle projects with resentment, that work will be less likely to gain traction. When you work with ease and joy, projects are more likely to find their ideal audience and achieve lasting impact.
