As your organization grows, expands, and perhaps becomes entirely virtual, you’re having to find more ways to create those frequent touchpoints. Quarterly meetings are an excellent tool for communicating your vision and ensuring alignment on your team.
Read MoreOver the past couple of months, I’ve been writing a lot about how to become a good coach to your team or for others. I’ve gotten a lot of great feedback on the effectiveness of that content. It wasn't only for marketing Trajectify that I decided to write about coaching. It was because I have benefited from so much life-altering coaching in the last two years.
Read MoreWhat coaching style do you need to use with each of your team members? Just like you probably have a coaching style you’re most comfortable with, each of them also has a style of being coached that’s most effective for them. You have to coach the people who report to you, so as a leader and a coach, you may have to get comfortable with different styles of coaching.

Read MoreIf you’ve worked with a good coach, you know how transformational the process can be. Your employees need that experience as well. They’ll grow, be more engaged employees, and become happier. Your business will be all the better for it.
If you’ve just seen yourself as their manager, you’re missing out on a big opportunity. Actually, a big requirement. Now more than ever — when people are changing jobs at an alarming rate and everyone’s reeling from all the uncertainty in our world — you need to keep your employees engaged.
Read MoreSince I began Trajectify, I’ve had the opportunity to coach a number of family-owned businesses, from intergenerational companies to husband-and-wife teams. In some ways, they face the same challenges as any other business. They have to figure out how to maximize their cash flow, hire the right people, and scale their business.
Family-owned businesses also have their own particular set of challenges.
Read MoreYou want to time your capital raise to maximize your valuation. A lot of people say to raise the money when you don’t need the money. It’s important, though, to acknowledge that raising capital isn’t a silver bullet to success.
Read MoreWhat does it take to cross that golden line? We sat down with three long-time Trajectify clients to talk about how they became multimillion dollar businesses and what other entrepreneurs can learn from their success.
Read MoreSome founders reach a point where they need to move beyond their MVP and provide greater value to their customers. Let’s talk about how founders often end up in a technical cofounder search, the problems with that approach, and what you can do instead.
Read MoreCompanies need to spend as much energy finding employees as they do finding customers. Recruiting talent is just as important as acquiring customers. Maybe more so? After all, it’s talent that allows you to grow.
Few founders really understand the acquisition process the first time around. That lack of knowledge can put you at a disadvantage in the most important negotiation of your life.
Read MoreOur team has advised on or been a part of more than half a billion dollars in enterprise-value transactions. Here’s what we’ve learned about finding the right buyer.
Read MoreDo you want to grow with your company? Or are you hoping to sell? Is there a difference in how you operate depending on your answer? We had a series of conversations with past and current clients about their growth strategies to learn more.
Read MoreBefore we can move past our fear, we have to become detectives. We have to find our fear. Identifying our limiting beliefs is one of the most effective ways to figure out where the fear lives and then flush it out.
Read MoreI’m going to share some of the ways we’ve grown in the last three years. I’ll also pull back the curtain a bit and share one of the main places I’m struggling. And there will always be struggles because every solution creates a new set of challenges.
Read MoreSome of the distractions are new. The quest for productivity isn’t. Managing your time better (and thus reaching your goals more efficiently) is about developing two things: (1) self-awareness and (2) structures to support you.
Read MoreCost is the biggest reservation we hear from founders and entrepreneurs who are contemplating their first hire. Affordability is obviously a critical part of the hiring analysis — and there’s a lot more to it. Whether you’re ready to hire and (perhaps the bigger question) who you should hire depends on multiple factors.
Read MoreWe typically share a summer reading list, but this year we have compiled a listening list. Many people are back traveling to and from the office, jetting off for vacations, or popping on those soundproof headphones while continuing to work from home. Our coaches have put together their top suggestions for additions to your listening queue to up your game as a business leader.
Read MoreIf you’re in business, you’ve heard of a SWOT analysis. You’ve probably done one — maybe more than one. When did you last do a SWOT analysis for your organization? Unless you’ve just been doing some strategic planning, it’s likely been awhile. We see businesses wait too long between SWOT analysis sessions. They trudge along under old conceptions of their strengths or weaknesses and fail to effectively respond to the changes around them.
Read MoreWhen you’re going it alone as a founder, you might be missing some critical personal elements of running a business. And the absence of those supports can lead to loneliness.
