🔹 How annoyance is often a symptom of a deeper heart condition
🔹 Step-by-step strategies for addressing situations when employees may be falling short
🔹 What I’ve learned about handling emotions professionally while still being clear with expectations
🔹 The important distinction between annoyances and individuals causing damage to the company
Whether you’re facing leadership struggles now or preparing for future challenges, this episode offers practical advice to help you lead with confidence and integrity, even when things get frustrating.
I’m Devon Dickinson. I've been married for 25 years and have a family of 6. I've founded, bought, sold, and sometimes failed with 10 different companies. As an individual entrepreneur, my companies have been on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list longer than any other individual. I enjoy investing in real estate and I've coached soccer for the last 6 years; which seems to be what keeps me up at night. Although I now own several multimillion-dollar companies, I only started with $5,000 and a credit card. Before we get started, I should warn you that this is all true... I don't know the easy way in anything I only know “the hard way”. I want to help you avoid learning the hard way (where you can) through straightforward advice that will fuel the entrepreneur in ALL OF US!
