Podcast Episode 111: Your Own Personal Board of Directors

Dec 7, 2013 | In The Loop

In The Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by David Loy

 

On this week’s episode, I explain what a personal board of directors is, and how you can create one for your life and/or business without spending a dime.

           

I realized that most major companies and great speakers had a group of people that keeps them on track.

           

I thought to myself, why can’t I have a board of directors?

  • My first answer was because I didn’t have any money
  • However, you don’t have to pay someone to be on your board of directors…if they don’t know they’re on it!

 

I want to find people who are….

  • Better
  • Smarter
  • Wiser
  • More productive

 

What’s important?

  • My children
  • My writing
  • Speaking
  • Finances
  • Health

 

Mentally, I went though the people I loved and knew. I wrote down the people with long marriages or who were financially successful. I then started going through people who were in newspapers and were easy to follow. I called this group my board of directors.

  

This is a life application of the decision, I will seek wisdom.

 

I have 30 or 40 people on my board of directors.

 

First thing: Make a list of important things in your life. Attach names to those things.
