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.

    It’s one of the oldest clichés in the book… “Get out of your comfort zone.” We hear it so often that it’s easy to just kind of ignore it. “Oh, yeah,” we tell ourselves. “I know that already.” It’s occurred to me, however, that there are many things with which…
