5 Concerns With Craig Ballantyne

Whats your biggest business accomplishment and what did you learn from it? At first I was going to say my Turbulence Training Certification, because its something that Ive truly been working on since I first started working out in high school. I remember telling a friend in my first year of college that I wanted to take my style of workouts and fitness to the world via books and seminars and all thatand finally its a reality as there are Certified TT Trainers around the world in over 7 countries.
But really, I wouldnt be able to do this without my teamand so building a team of incredible people, most of whom get to work daily on their Unique Ability (a great concept from Dan Sullivan), so they are engaged in work that they see as changing lives which it is. As many of the books Ive read (like Good to Great, Rockefeller Habits, etc.) will tell you, people dont just work for money, they work to be a part of something bigger than themselves. And I like to think that we are building that environment with the help of my team here. Now to be honest, Im an introverted, sometimes-curmudgeonly leader.
So that makes it all the more of an accomplishment to mehaha.
The biggest lessons Ive stumbled across putting my Certification and team together are: a) Nothing helps you get work done faster than a a deadline. I was struggling with creating the final content for the Certification, so I reserved a hotel seminar room, paid the fee, and was therefore given a final date and a punishment if I missed the deadline. Of course, I found a way to get the work done.
Its a simple solution anyone can use if they are struggling to finish a project. b) Have a MISSION in your business. My fitness message went from good to great as soon as I told the world that our Mission was to help 1 Million men and women transform their bodies and their lives by 2020. Now all of the sudden, people, readers, and total strangers want to be a part of it all because we are naturally attracted to being part of something bigger.
