Podcast Highlights
- Who is Steven Blue?
Steven’s experience in a turnaround were where he learned important lessons about cash and strict operational control.
You don’t need a lot of people to have a dysfunctional toxic environment, Steven worked in such an environment and learned that a culture by design is a much better option.
- Payroll Or Paying The Light Bill
Do the analysis, your gut won’t be able to tell you what to do until you make enough mistakes to know the best option. Once you have the experience, pay attention to your intuition.
- You Cannot Win The Hand Unless You Place The Bet
You are going to be wrong about half the time, the planet is poised to tell you you’re going to be wrong. In the end, you have to believe in yourself.
- The Source Of Courage
Without belief, you can’t have courage. You will be wrong until you are proven right.
- Entrepreneurs On The Global Stage
Don’t wait for your competition to act, prepare now for the future.
- How Entrepreneurs Learn To Place A Proper Bet
Don’t ever make a bet that you can lose the whole company over.
- Starting Out
Find the most complicated issue you can and attempt to solve that, you’re going to spend as much time trying to solve that as you would on something easy. Start small but go for the huge upside.
If you chase small things, your thinking will be small, your planning will be small, and your results will be small.
- Warning Signs
You can’t have smart manufacturing if you have a dumb workforce. If you build the people, the people build your business.
- Building A Culture Of Values

- Steven’s Takeaway
Go do a firework and find out that the limitations that you believe you have are self imposed.
