Meat Loaf, the Kennedy Center, and a 1,400-year-old business have a question for you...

Heya Reader... I've been wrestling with a question all year as my own business continues to change: What kind of organization am I actually trying to create? Not what I want to sell next or what makes the most money. Not even what will help the business survive, because survival isn't the same thing as preservation. I could keep my business alive by turning it into something I don't particularly want to run. I could keep doing work because people know me for it, and the business might survive. But, would I survive in a company like that? That's where Meat Loaf, the Kennedy Center, and Kongō Gumi come in. One gives us a surprisingly useful lesson about boundaries. One is giving us a real-time lesson about what happens when mission, money, legacy, and power collide. And one has spent more than 1,400 years demonstrating that sometimes staying true to what you're building requires changing what you've built. I connected all three - and a few other things happening in the world right now - in my latest post: What Kind of Organization Are You REALLY Creating? If you're building, changing, restructuring, or trying to preserve something that matters, there's a question in there I think is worth sitting with: What are you unwilling to become in order to survive?

Hey Reader... Last December, I sent my friend an email with the subject line: "Will you take my money, please?" I wasn't kidding. A month earlier, I went to trademark The Star Power Method, the framework I'd spent years developing and refining. Except someone else got there first. Not with exactly the same name, but close enough that my attorney strongly advised me to rebrand. FML. This wasn't just choosing a new name and swapping out a logo. So… if I was going back to the drawing board...

Howdy Reader! This week has been rough. I was SO hoping to launch the new website tomorrow, but we've had a few hiccups. My brand strategist recommended that I wait until after the mid-terms anyway, so it all works out. Plus, it gives me an opportunity to share one more post before we suspend publication for the changeover. When my oldest was little, he liked to have me hold him up so he could watch my mom cooking in the kitchen. She had a long island counter with the stove at one end. She...
