This week we’ll apply the entrepreneurial leadership learning to the importance of probability (uncertainty).
Entrepreneurial Leadership Tool #1:
Entrepreneurial Success =
(Time (1 or 0) + Work (1 or 0) + Money (1 or 0)) x Probability (1, .5, or 0)
Probability (Uncertainty) (1, .5, or 0)
In 2017 where are you investing your entrepreneurial leadership? To maximize entrepreneurial leadership you want to invest in projects/endeavors at various stages and at various times with varying probability (uncertainty). Yes, the probability (uncertainty) of you being alive tomorrow has a probability factor based on lots of living factors.
In your business and projects, you want meaningful work with a probability (uncertainty) of a 1 (do it now), .5 (carefully consider doing it), and 0 (don’t do it). There are no other numbers besides 1, .5, or 0. If probability (uncertainty) is a 1 then you know what to do. If it’s a .5 how to make it a 1 is very important to determine. If it is a 0 then it’s not worth investing. Don’t try to make a 0 a .5 or a 1. You’ll be wasting your time. Better results and time are of most value to you.
Therefore, Entrepreneurial Success = (Time + Work + Money) x Probability (Uncertainty)
Ex. 1: Entrepreneurial Success = (1+1+1) x (1) = 3 (do it now)
Ex. 2: Entrepreneurial Success = (1+1+1) x (.5) = carefully consider it (how to make it a 3?)
Ex. 3: Entrepreneurial Success = (any total other than 3 for time, work, money) x (any probability) = don’t do it

Money (1 or 0)
In 2017 where are you investing your money? To maximize your money you want to invest in high-value services and products with ten times the return on investment (ROI).
Q1: Do your research and preparation show your suppliers service(s) and/or product(s) are of high value towards your objectives?
This focuses on the qualitative aspects of doing business. For example, setting a record, a pilot, image, brand awareness, and having more than one supplier so you’re more efficient and effective.
Q2: How do you determine there will be a ten times return on your investment?
This focuses on the quantitative aspects of doing business. The robust investments/projects return ten times greater ROI upon completion of the investment/project. If it makes sense to reinvest and/or add service(s) and product(s), then best to do so. All others vary based on time period. Work with your supplier to determine how to receive high value and ten times the ROI.
Think of three investments made in your business?
1. Invested in a marketing campaign
Depending on if this is already a revenue producing service or product or if it is a pilot the same formula applies:
Investment = High Value and ten times the ROI
In a marketing campaign of high value is brand awareness. Also, you need to determine the way to receive ten times the ROI. The reason is because your project and business are unsustainable without it.
2. Invested in technology
Of high value are increased capabilities, efficiency, ease of use, and status. Also, you need to determine the way to receive ten times the ROI. The reason is because your project and business are unsustainable without it.
Investment = High Value and ten times the ROI
3. Invested in education
Of high value are increased skillset, get a better job and new opportunities, and adding your skillset to another market. Also, you need to determine the way to receive ten times the ROI. The reason is because your education/learning and business are unsustainable without it.
Investment = High Value and ten times the ROI
4. Think of three private investments made?
Examples are a house, car, healthcare, and the food you eat. Of high value are shelter, safety, warmth, nutrition, and good health. Also, you need to determine the way to receive ten times the ROI. The reason is because your living is unsustainable without it.
Investment = High Value and ten times the ROI
I will cover funding (entrepreneurial fund (EF)) when I teach my second Entrepreneurial Success Tool.
Calculate your qualitative (high value) and quantitative (ROI) for each of the above. Are you researching, is your preparation, and investments done with the right mindset? Determine how high value delivers a ten times ROI for you.

Work (1 or 0)
In 2017 where are you investing your work? To maximize work you want to do work that is meaningful, has value, and is important to you. This includes work that has value in your business, professional association(s) member volunteer work, community volunteer and advocacy work, home project(s), and faith-based volunteer work. To reiterate, it should be meaningful to you, has value, and is important to you. This doesn’t mean it needs to be work your family or friends want to do. It’s work you want to do. In the Entrepreneurial Success Formula work has a value of “1” (has value to the company) or “0” (no value to the company).

Time (1 or 0)
In 2017 where are you investing your time? You want to maximize your time. This has the most value to you in living your great dreams, goals, vision, and mission. The best way to maximize your time is to prepare.
Do you attend a meeting by preparing? This is the number one reason one person does business with you versus with another person.
Do you schedule an in-person meeting when a meeting isn’t wanted?
Do you schedule a conference call when an in-person meeting is wanted?
Do you return a phone call or reply to an e-mail?
As a humanitarian and citizen, maximizing your time gives you the time to do community volunteer and advocacy work.
Put your criteria to determine the best approach for you and the other party. Just because you or they want it doesn’t mean it’s the best approach. Only, do what adds value for the both of you. Next week, we’ll apply the entrepreneurial leadership learning to the importance of your work. In the Entrepreneurial Success Formula time has a value of “1” (can be done in a timely manner/worth the time) or “0” (time prohibitive).

FORWARD PERFORMANCE IS COUNTERINTUITIVE
“Breaking through a performance barrier is counterintuitive.” – Raj Gavurla
Look outside! Did you plant those trees, create the sky, the clouds, warmth of the sun, birds, grass, air, and those mountains? Your answer is “no”. My special news for you is “there are no days off from living”. Believe me, you know why.
In my performance, entrepreneurial leadership, and sports/athletic coaching/consulting, I use to hear from my clients, “I had a bad day”. “I was off today.” No way! When clients receive coaching and complete their Your Raise The Bar Primer: Mental Performance Tools workbook they soon realize what I mean. Daily, I have them rate their day.
An example of their choices and the criteria we agree upon in our session might look like the following:
Auspicious Day
Today is my birthday! Any grand occasion is permissive. Think birthdays of family, anniversaries, graduations, a spiritual occurrence, special recognition (awards), end of a project, a big win, your firsts, and holidays. Do my exercises and stretches.
Robust Day
The list is private to me, however, some items are when I have “unexpected success”. It’s the easiest type of success. When I learn and apply what I learned for better performance. I take what I’ve been working on to the next level. I meditate, do my exercises, and stretches.
Perfect Day
The list is private to me, however, when I do my exercises and stretches, eat right, work, and have something restful, relaxing, fun and enjoyable in the evening. Came up with a “creative innovative inventive entrepreneurial idea”. I meditate.
Very Good Day
The list is private to me, however, when I accomplish a perfect day without coming up with a “creative innovative idea”. I work, eat right, do my exercises, and stretches.
Good Day
The list is private to me, however, when something takes longer than expected or usual and I finally figure it out. I do my exercises and stretches.
Not So Good Day
The list is private to me, however, anything bad that happens to me or someone I know. Also, my computer crashes etc. I didn’t do my exercises and stretches.
My Star
Then I complete “my star” in my workbook by filling in a “new record”, building a relationship forever, and/or “I met someone new” and had a real conversation with them. Success!
I also pray throughout the day when I need or want to. Now, you won’t ever have a “day off from living” or a “bad day”. After sessions with my client, they begin to see how to really use my workbook. They become forward performing instead of “negative” towards them self or others. I’ll repost this on Monday, however, I wanted to give you a high-value target on my birthday, an auspicious day. Apply the practical learning.
Stop Struggling Or Suffering: Personalize A Positive Not A Negative
“Personalize a positive not a negative.” – Raj Gavurla
To stop struggling or suffering we must learn to stop internalizing things and instead share with the right person or people. Approach them the right way.
What are you struggling or suffering with?
Examples:
1. Your health is not as good as you want although you sought medical care. Please don’t internalize things by thinking something is “wrong with you.” Instead, share with your healthcare providers how you feel/your feelings, and what you are experiencing. Be sure to research other treatments and pursue what makes sense to you. Please don’t have fatalistic thinking such as “I’ll be like this for a long time or forever.”
A very motivating, educating, and inspiring scene on Saturday made me think. I saw two people playing wheelchair tennis. I had only seen this on t.v. When they first became handicapped, I imagine life looked bleak. Each responded with resilient fortitude to enjoy, be rewarded, and have fun playing tennis. Amazing! I would love to see them walking and playing tennis. That would endlessly thrill me. Wanting more for another person (others) and someone wanting more for you is living a robust life.
2. In school or at work are you making the progress and advancements you want or need? If not, test this strategy. Learn the history of the field. New neural learning connections form in your brain to make it easier on yourself to learn the new material. Also, learn by researching and talking with the right people to learn the knowledge you need and then deliberately practice the knowledge for it to become skill. Skill is applied knowledge at the appropriate time. To make advancements, use creativity and innovation to make it more meaningful to you. What do I mean? Some things have the same structure whether it’s what you are working on, school work, a football, basketball, soccer, tennis, or golf game, track meet, a song, or a documentary. After having the knowledge and skill, it’s your ability to create and innovate that makes it of value (valuable) to you and to others. This is more enjoyable, rewarding, and fun for you. Test it.
3. If a loved one is struggling or suffering, it doesn’t mean you need to struggle or suffer. Instead, help them and support them with your love, kindness, share meaningful things with each other, and learn medicine to have conversations with them about their treatment plan. It’s very humane to do so. You’ll receive tremendous fulfillment and learn more about the greater significance of relationships.
4. Do what you love or like. If you don’t love it or like it and/or it doesn’t make sense then don’t do it. Look into it more if that’s important to you.
