Summary:

Today, we celebrate the 100th episode of the Launch Youniversity podcast. When we launched this podcast two years ago, we had this simple goal in mind: To turn go-getters into difference makers by pooling our resources, sharing our collective experiences, and introducing listeners to some of the best leaders we know. We understand just how uncertain the next step of any launch can be, so we’re happy to mentor our listeners (and learn some things ourselves) week after week.

To celebrate, we will feature some of our favorite interviews in a three-part series. In today’s episode, you’ll learn what it takes to go all in on your dream, the importance of community to your goals, and what happens when passion propels your vision, among other topics.

Welcome to episode 100 of the Launch Youniversity Podcast. Thank you for sticking with us!

Why Every Entrepreneur Needs a Cruise Director

For entrepreneurs, the only thing longer than the days are the to-do lists. With a mountain of tasks always needing attention, it’s natural to jump from one thing to the next then to the next as quickly as possible. After all, the more milestones you hit and projects you bring to completion, the better your business will be, right?

Well, yes, but that’s not the whole picture. [Read more…] about Why Every Entrepreneur Needs a Cruise Director

6 Reasons You Should Stop and Celebrate

There’s never an end to the work that needs to be done — that’s par for the course in the life of an entrepreneur or intrapreneur. But you love it anyway — that’s just how visionaries like you are wired.

But what about your team? What fuels visionaries isn’t always what fuels the people who are executing the vision. When you move quickly from project to project without stopping to acknowledge people’s efforts, you might be unknowingly creating a toxic culture and risking burnout. When you devalue the work you and your team have created, you’ve missed an opportunity to engage them in the bigger picture. [Read more…] about 6 Reasons You Should Stop and Celebrate

Summary:

You and your team are accomplishing big things. Big, difficult things. And with all the testing, tweaking and launching, it’s easy to lose sight of something just as important: celebrating. As Shane and David share in today’s episode, a pause to celebrate creates energy and momentum. It can even be the fuel to rocket power through the next launch.

Three Takeaways:

1. Celebrating reminds us of the why.

Moving straight from one big project or launch to the next one can be draining for your team. Taking the time to stop, thank and acknowledge your team will help remind everyone of the vision and their place in the vision.

2. Big and planned, or small and spontaneous.

Celebrating well doesn’t mean you have to throw a Christmas-party type of evening everytime you complete a project. Small and spontaneous works well too, like bringing in donuts or ice cream for the team. It really isn’t about what you do—it’s about making your team feel seen, appreciated and celebrated.

3. Delegate it.

If you’re not inherently inclined to plan celebrations, choose someone on your team who loves to help people celebrate. Give them full permission to give you a nudge when they think a celebration might be in order, and let them put it on the calendar and organize the details.
