On Thinking the Best

Posted on June 26, 2019 by dancoyle

If you’d met me about a decade ago, you would’ve quickly found out that I was deeply devoted to a few things: meditation, a raw food diet, and reading various versions of the Tao Te Ching. I had been on a very intentional path of self improvement for a little over two years. Since then,…

On Tremendous Effort

The Problem With Fake It Till You Make It

Posted on June 4, 2019June 23, 2019 by dancoyle

As someone who has his own business (you’re probably reading this on it right now), I’m very familiar with all the quotes about how to fake it till you make it. “You must be the person you have never had the courage to be. Gradually, you will discover that you are that person, but until…

Hiring the Best Talent

Posted on May 21, 2019October 11, 2019 by dancoyle

If you’ve spoken with me in the past three months, there’s a good chance I’ve brought up the book Reach Out by Molly Beck. One of the key takeaways from the book, that I’m currently trying to build a habit around, is to reach out to one person each workday and congratulate or thank them…

Retaining Your Best Employees

Posted on May 17, 2019October 11, 2019 by dancoyle

When we talk about retaining employees, what we’re really discussing are incentives that are effective and how to operationalize them. Regardless of the organization, having clear and influential mission and values is paramount. Ultimately, it comes down to understanding who has joined your company and why. As to not regurgitate much of what I’ve said in the articles…

Your Ideas Don’t Matter

Posted on May 7, 2019October 11, 2019 by dancoyle

Yes, that’s a bombastic title. However, the prevalence of potential entrepreneurs who fixate on ideas over execution is also extremely outsized. In this post, I’ll start to explain why that’s wrong-headed, and will write more on this subject in the future. I think this epidemic has been around for a while, and it’s likely that…
