Whetstones for the Mind: Four Fun Off-Duty Ways to Sharpen Your Mind for Work

Published: Tue, 04/07/20

Work is work, and rest is rest. But there's no reason you can't spend a little time cleaning and honing your most important work tool (your mind), even while you're taking it easy— as long as what you do is fun and doesn't interfere with your rest. Even better, it should be as different from work as possible.

The Inside Track on Money and Capital: Leveraging all of Your Resources into Powerful and Profitable Outcomes

Money is not the only type of business capital.

To lead your team to true success, you must leverage money as a tool–and fuel–to fire up other types of capital. Our concept of “competing on capital” positions you to maximize and synthesize every resource into your decisions and growth strategies. It’s how you get from where you are now to truly intuitive business leadership.

This program exposes you to the ways the best companies compete not only on their ideas, their ability to sell their products, and their ability to squeeze out profits, but by using every tool in their toolbox – every asset – every type of capital – at their disposal.

Business intuition and business acumen both stem from deeply understanding a few principles. This program is the inside track on these principles and how to tap into all of your tools. Learn to use money to ignite all of your other capital–including human, intellectual, social, relationship, political, and invisible capital– propelling your business to the next level. We’ll give you the ins and outs about each type of capital and give you strategies for tying them all together in the strongest way possible.

Beware: we will challenge your thinking with ideas and methods that are well-known and used by the nation’s financial elite, but that are little known on Main Street.

After (or maybe even during) this program, you will start to think differently about your company, your resources, and your own potential. You will start to see business differently. See yourself differently. You will evolve into an intuitive and instinctive leader or manager–beyond what you think is possible.

When you learn to see and use money as one form of capital–but not the only form–opportunities become abundant, propelling you past your competition.
