Here’s my problem. I’d like to give you as much as I can in small doses the impact ideas you can apply and learn from the Fortune Growth Summit in Phoenix. On my flight back Friday I scanned my notes (reviewing increases retention). As I poured through the pages I attached sticky notes to each segment I felt was worth a blog topic or idea. It required 49 post it’s! Not all of these teach a lesson on Strategic Discipline (What my marketing people demand I stick to in my blogs). Yet all have valuable lessons for your business – anyone of which could provide you with a breakthrough. With that in mind I plan to select the best ideas from the 49 topics I identified and deliver them to you in the days and weeks ahead. Still I thought you might like a quick overview of the speakers and a little on each of their specific topics.

As today’s Fortune Growth Summit came to a close one of the coaches next to me, Howard Shore, whispered that this might be the best Growth Summit yet. I’d have to agree. Verne Harnish always wraps up the show with a short conclusion, several sponsor messages and today a comedian who is also a Jewish Rabbi. Rabbi Stephen Baars offered excellent comedic relief as well as an exceptional message on thinking. More of that in another blog. Todd Klein, author of Built to Change and Sally Hosghead, consultant and author of Fascinate: Seven Triggers to Persuasion and Captivation had great messages and ideas all share in the coming weeks.

Monday’s blog will continue insight from Jim Collins “Great by Choice.” One of my clients and partner provider wrote a blog that provides insight into the current economy that I thought my readers would find interesting. Read his short blog Ray Dalio says this is no recession.
Dalio runs the biggest hedge fun and has received a better return on his investments than Warren Buffet. You can read more on Dalio in this Wall Street Journal article Ray Dalio Down on Europe, High on Fed. If you read it I’d be interested in your perspective on his views on the economy. Please provide a comment on my blog.

The popularity of shows like The Biggest Loser and ABC’s recent foray into this with Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition I believe stems from the encouragement and reinforcing belief in ourselves we receive by watching someone achieve success in reaching their goals. It’s the same attraction that has us spend so much money on sporting events.

The Compound Effect
Since hearing Darren Hardy speak about the Compound Effect and the discipline required for success I’ve been working on establishing the rituals he recommended. Although I’ve considered myself to be a pretty disciplined person, the disciplines Hardy describes require a tenacity and determination that few are willing to follow.

After hearing Darren Hardy of Success Magazine speak I went to Amazon to check out his book The Compound Effect and read the reviews. It’s interesting to read the negative responses. Most of them offered that what Hardy offered was nothing new, just a rehash of success formulas and ideas provided in books like Think and Grow Rich, etc.

Please forgive the length of my last blog. Believe it or not it was longer but I edited some things out. I’m afraid I was suffering from education overload. Each day we start the Growth Summit at 8 AM. When that concludes at 4 PM Gazelles coaches gather for another two plus hours in additional education and planning.
