You Inspire Me

May 3, 2013 | By | 50 Comments">50 Comments

People are inspired by the things we say, do, or by our actions. We all have either a positive or negative impact on each other.

Chris LoCurto, Leadership, Business, Strategic Planning

We live in an overworked, stressed out, broken world, and people are hungry for inspiration.

The crazy thing is, it doesn’t take much to inspire them. The main ingredient? Caring! That’s right, you have to care to inspire.

If you understand how many times in your life you needed a little inspiration, then it makes it really easy to understand how those around you need a little as well.

So, I have a challenge for you. I want to know who recently inspired you, and how they did it. And, I want to know what you can do to inspire someone…wait for it…TODAY!

Yes, I know that many of you are reading this saying, “I’m the one who needs to be inspired today!” I get that, I know where you’re coming from.

But here’s the fun thing, you will actually be inspired just by helping someone else have a greater day. Heck, just making their hour great will be phenomenal.

So, be inspiring right now and comment below on the questions I asked you, then go do it!

What’s Keeping You From Being Great?

April 24, 2013 | By | 48 Comments">48 Comments

Some believe that greatness is defined by the response of the masses to a person or group. It is my belief that greatness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

I believe that greatness is not defined only by affecting great numbers of people, but by affecting even one life the right way can make you great.

As I teach and coach people across this country, I commonly find folks saying that they don’t know how to be great. I say this, if Tim can do it, so can you! You just need the RIGHT inspiration.

Watch this less than three minute video and then answer my question to you:

Your Business Is Not Who You Are

April 18, 2013 | By | 40 Comments">40 Comments

To do well in business, you have to realize your business is what you do not who you are.

Committing to that thought changes your decision-making and frees you to win. When you view your business as who you are, you’re so emotionally invested that every decision is cloudy.

Chris LoCurto, Leadership, Business, Strategic Planning

When you realize it’s what you do, you’re able to make decisions that don’t feel like they’re going to hurt as much. And this is key to growing a business that lasts.

In case you missed it last week, I’m recording a videocast soon with my good friend, Small Business Marketing Coach Joel Fortner on how to make your business last.

ObamaCare: How Is It Affecting You?

April 12, 2013 | By | 36 Comments">36 Comments

ObamaCare has taken a pretty heavy toll on small business. Every week I am having conversations with entrepreneurs who are telling me ObamaCare is causing them to lay off team members due to the increase in rates it has created.

Chris LoCurto, Leadership, Business, Strategic Planning, ObamaCare

As well as companies aren’t hiring because of the potential impact.

The Federal Reserve reports:

  • Employers Cited ObamaCare As Reasons For “Planned Layoffs And Reluctance To Hire More Staff.”
  • Businesses Have “Delayed Hiring” Due To ObamaCare.
  • ObamaCare Has Caused Companies To Hire “The Absolute Minimum” Of Employees To Skirt The Law’s Burdensome Regulations.

In 2014, companies with 50 or more team members are expected to pick up 100% of team member insurance, or pay $750 a year per team member penalty to the Government. This is a ridiculous idea, since it will be cheaper for companies to pay the fine and leave team members without insurance. But the Government will get paid!

Many companies are considering not growing past 49 total team members. Thus keeping them from growing business.

There are SO MANY issues with this that I could post on, but I really want to know your thoughts.

Question: How is ObamaCare affecting you, and what do you think of the changes?
