Why Every Company Needs a Dream Manager

Increasing employee engagement, creating a healthier culture and building a world-class organization that sees exceptional growth every year is what all leaders in any industry wants for their organization. If that is the goal for most leaders, then why do so few organizations succeed at the above three?
There are a ton of reasons that may be hindering an organizations success, but one key area that majority of companies completely neglect or refuse to pay any attention to is their employees’ personal dreams and desires.

I recently spent some time with Infusionsoft at their headquarters in Chandler, Arizona. You may have heard of them already, but Infusionsoft is a complete sales and marketing automation software for small businesses. I was completely blown away by their positive and healthy culture, employees and everyone’s eagerness to build the company to even greater success.
There are plenty of people who deserve credit for the culture at Infusionsoft, especially their CEO Clate Mask. What took me by surprise though was to find out that they have someone on staff who is actually labeled as their dream manager. Dan Ralphs, who is the dream manager at Infusionsoft, has one job description -- to help the employees of the company achieve their personal dreams.
One of the company’s employees a few years back had read The Dream Manager by bestselling author Matthew Kelly. He loved the book so much that he desperately wanted to get it in the hands of Clate Mask, the CEO of the company. Being an avid reader and leader who is always looking to grow himself, Clate accepted the book and read it on a flight. Once he was finished with the book, he immediately knew that Infusionsoft was going to going to have a dream manager on staff.
In the book, Kelly writes, “The future of your organization and the potential of your employees are intertwined -- their destinies are linked.” At Infusionsoft, you see this clearly, as employees are actively engaged in the workplace while passionately helping the organization build towards the grander vision while in return, the organization is passionately helping employees work towards their biggest personal dreams.

When talking to some of the employees at Infusionsoft, I would hear things such as, “I ran my first marathon because of Infusionsoft” or “I am almost out of debt because of Infusionsoft.” Hearing some of the personal dreams that have been accomplished is truly astonishing. Infusionsoft isn’t making miracles happen to make dreams come true for their employees, but they do show them that they immensely care about them as people and want to provide them with the resources and tools to help them achieve some of their biggest dreams in life. In return, they have employees who are extremely passionate about the company that they work for and are actively engaged in the workplace.
“The Dream Manager concept provides a revolutionary way of reversing this crippling trend toward disengagement and demonstrates how organizations large and small can actively engage their people once again, thus creating a competitive advantage of monumental proportions," Kelly says.
You might be asking, how exactly does the dream manager program work? At Infusionsoft, every employee has the opportunity to meet with Dan Ralphs, the company’s dream manager. He asks them to write down one hundred dreams and eventually they pick one dream together and start to develop a plan on how to accomplish it. From there they have follow up meetings and track the progress of where everyone is at in relation to achieving their dream for the year.
The absolute best way to transform a company is to transform the people within that company. Regardless of what industry you are in or how big or small your company is, one of the best ways to engage your people, create a healthy culture, and get everyone on board to work towards the organization's grander vision is to care and help them achieve their personal dreams.
You may come up with something completely different than what Infusionsoft has adopted or what Mattew Kelly writes about in his book, The Dream Manager, but the one thing you can't ignore is constantly looking for ways to grow and develop your people. After all, your company can only become as great as the people within it.

How to Create a Marketing Plan

Firms that are successful in marketing invariably start with a marketing plan. Large companies have plans with hundreds of pages; small companies can get by with a half-dozen sheets. Put your marketing plan in a three-ring binder. Refer to it at least quarterly, but better yet monthly. Leave a tab for putting in monthly reports on sales/manufacturing; this will allow you to track performance as you follow the plan.

The plan should cover one year. For small companies, this is often the best way to think about marketing. Things change, people leave, markets evolve, customers come and go. Later on we suggest creating a section of your plan that addresses the medium-term future--two to four years down the road. But the bulk of your plan should focus on the coming year.

You should allow yourself a couple of months to write the plan, even if it's only a few pages long. Developing the plan is the "heavy lifting" of marketing. While executing the plan has its challenges, deciding what to do and how to do it is marketing's greatest challenge. Most marketing plans kick off with the first of the year or with the opening of your fiscal year if it's different.

Who should see your plan? All the players in the company. Firms typically keep their marketing plans very, very private for one of two very different reasons: Either they're too skimpy and management would be embarrassed to have them see the light of day, or they're solid and packed with information . . . which would make them extremely valuable to the competition.

You can't do a marketing plan without getting many people involved. No matter what your size, get feedback from all parts of your company: finance, manufacturing, personnel, supply and so on--in addition to marketing itself. This is especially important because it will take all aspects of your company to make your marketing plan work. Your key people can provide realistic input on what's achievable and how your goals can be reached, and they can share any insights they have on any potential, as-yet-unrealized marketing opportunities, adding another dimension to your plan. If you're essentially a one-person management operation, you'll have to wear all your hats at one time--but at least the meetings will be short!

What's the relationship between your marketing plan and your business plan or vision statement? Your business plan spells out what your business is about--what you do and don't do, and what your ultimate goals are. It encompasses more than marketing; it can include discussions of locations, staffing, financing, strategic alliances and so on. It includes "the vision thing," the resounding words that spell out the glorious purpose of your company in stirring language. Your business plan is the U.S. Constitution of your business: If you want to do something that's outside the business plan, you need to either change your mind or change the plan. Your company's business plan provides the environment in which your marketing plan must flourish. The two documents must be consistent.

The Benefits of a Marketing Plan

A marketing plan, on the other hand, is plump with meaning. It provides you with several major benefits. Let's review them.

• Rallying point: Your marketing plan gives your troops something to rally behind. You want them to feel confident that the captain of the vessel has the charts in order, knows how to run the ship, and has a port of destination in mind. Companies often undervalue the impact of a "marketing plan" on their own people, who want to feel part of a team engaged in an exciting and complicated joint endeavor. If you want your employees to feel committed to your company, it's important to share with them your vision of where the company is headed in the years to come. People don't always understand financial projections, but they can get excited about a well-written and well-thought-out marketing plan. You should consider releasing your marketing plan--perhaps in an abridged version--companywide. Do it with some fanfare and generate some excitement for the adventures to come. Your workers will appreciate being involved.

• Chart to success: We all know that plans are imperfect things. How can you possibly know what's going to happen 12 months or five years from now? Isn't putting together a marketing plan an exercise in futility . . . a waste of time better spent meeting with customers or fine-tuning production? Yes, possibly but only in the narrowest sense. If you don't plan, you're doomed, and an inaccurate plan is far better than no plan at all. To stay with our sea captain analogy, it's better to be 5 or even 10 degrees off your destination port than to have no destination in mind at all. The point of sailing, after all, is to get somewhere, and without a marketing plan, you'll wander the seas aimlessly, sometimes finding dry land but more often than not floundering in a vast ocean. Sea captains without a chart are rarely remembered for discovering anything but the ocean floor.

• Company operational instructions: Your child's first bike and your new VCR came with a set of instructions, and your company is far more complicated to put together and run than either of them. Your marketing plan is a step-by-step guide for your company's success. It's more important than a vision statement. To put together a genuine marketing plan, you have to assess your company from top to bottom and make sure all the pieces are working together in the best way. What do you want to do with this enterprise you call the company in the coming year? Consider it a to-do list on a grand scale. It assigns specific tasks for the year.

• Captured thinking: You don't allow your financial people to keep their numbers in their heads. Financial reports are the lifeblood of the numbers side of any business, no matter what size. It should be no different with marketing. Your written document lays out your game plan. If people leave, if new people arrive, if memories falter, if events bring pressure to alter the givens, the information in the written marketing plan stays intact to remind you of what you'd agreed on.

• Top-level reflection: In the daily hurly-burly of competitive business, it's hard to turn your attention to the big picture, especially those parts that aren't directly related to the daily operations. You need to take time periodically to really think about your business--whether it's providing you and your employees with what you want, whether there aren't some innovative wrinkles you can add, whether you're getting all you can out of your products, your sales staff and your markets. Writing your marketing plan is the best time to do this high-level thinking. Some companies send their top marketing people away to a retreat. Others go to the home of a principal. Some do marketing plan development at a local motel, away from phones and fax machines, so they can devote themselves solely to thinking hard and drawing the most accurate sketches they can of the immediate future of the business.

Ideally, after writing marketing plans for a few years, you can sit back and review a series of them, year after year, and check the progress of your company. Of course, sometimes this is hard to make time for (there is that annoying real world to deal with), but it can provide an unparalleled objective view of what you've been doing with your business life over a number of years.

7 Ways to Be Debt-Free for the Rest of Your Life

When it comes to money, some people act funny.

I was buying a new suit at Nordstrom yesterday and had a delightful conversation with the sales clerk. She was extremely smart--until she started talking about money.

"I don't know how people eat out every day. It's too expensive. I can only do it once in a while, but not on a daily basis. I'd rather cook." After cringing, I asked her, "Why do you say it's too expensive?" 

She continued, "I have all these college loans. They just weigh me down. It seems like I can't do anything until I get out of debt. I basically have two full-time jobs and three kids to feed."

Thankfully, I paid off my college bill ($50,000) and credit-card bills ($50,000) with ease last year, so I clearly understood her dilemma. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to tell her what I'm about to tell you. I think it will make a lot of sense (or dollars):

You can't make dollars if you can't make sense.

If you keep thinking about debt, you will attract it. However, if you think about wealth, you will attract it, too. In short, you have to stop thinking about paying off your debts and think about earning wealth.

Let me explain this concept further: When you think about debt, you're inviting thoughts of despair, poverty, and the feeling of being overwhelmed. This forces you to think about putting in long hours and makes you believe that you'll be paying your bills endlessly, which is a painful and miserable experience.

On the opposite side of the continuum of debt, you have wealth. Of course, earning money is a better experience than paying people whom you owe. When you focus on earning money, your debts will take care of themselves. Focusing on wealth leads you to have pleasurable, prospering, and powerful thoughts.

Here are seven quick tips for getting out of debt for the rest of your life:

1. Think About Wealth, Not Debts

Since you think about money every day of you life, you might as well have good thoughts about it. When you think about gaining money, you'll be more creative. If you think about debts, you'll die.

2. Pay Your Bills Willingly

The next time you get a bill, fine, or fee, pay it willingly. If you pay it painfully, you're admitting two things: 1) That money is hard to come by, and 2) You don't enjoy the services that you're getting. 

3. Bless Everything You Have

Appreciating your substance only allows you to have more of it. You're basically telling the universe or God, "More of this, please." Take inventory of everything you have and appreciate it. You've got to take what you get to get more of what you want.

4. Get Away From Broke People

There's a ton of people who will share their gospels about wealth. Stay away from these folks. Many people are charlatans when it comes to earning money. Seek richer friends instead. They'll help you get to where you need to be. 

5. Don't Speak of Debt

Words have prospering power, but they also have poverty power. If you're sharing your poverty (or debts) with others, you're enslaving people with your thoughts. Instead, speak wealthy thoughts. 

6. Go To Wealthy Places

Go and test drive a Rolls Royce and get the experience of a lifetime. You may even want to visit a few million-dollar mansions once per month. Surrounding yourself with prosperity will make your richer. You'll start asking yourself, "How can I get this?"

7. Buy Luxury Goods

When you purchase items from the luxury market, no matter how small it is, you will automatically feel richer. For instance, every week, I went to Pier 1 to buy gold forks. As I began to accumulate more superior products, my self-esteem increased, which affected my bank account.

Earning wealth is a more pleasurable experience than paying off debts, don't you think? After all, you'll be earning more money this way and enjoying the ride in the process. When it's all done, you'll have fun stroking big checks to the loan department. In the meanwhile, focus on accumulating wealth!

Private Aviation Company Wheels Up Raises $115M to Fuel App, Expansion

Wheels Up, the private-aviation company founded serial entrepreneur Kenny Dichter, has closed a $115 million funding round, bringing its post-money valuation to $540 million.

The round was led by T. Rowe Price, Fidelity and NEA.

Wheels Up, based in New York, is Dichter's second foray into private aviation. He founded Marquis Jet in 2001 as the first-ever fractional jet-card program, before selling the company to NetJets in 2010. He then went on to start luxury spirits brand Tequila Avion, before founding Wheels Up in 2013.

This company is different from other private-aviation companies in that it operates more as a membership club than traditional fractional-ownership models. Individuals pay an initiation fee of $17,500, then annual dues of $8,500, in order to be eligible to book flights, Dichter said. "That's a very, very big step to open up the marketplace," he said.

As a result, Wheels Up can attract younger executives who typically don't think of a private aviation, people in their 30s and 40s -- a "group of people who are going to be flying for a while," Dichter said -- as opposed to their travelers in their 60s, who have traditionally made up much of the private-aviation market.

That was a big draw for the investors. “Private air travel has been the domain of the ultrawealthy," Henry Ellenbogen, who led T. Rowe Price's investment, told The Wall Street Journal. "This is attractive to that consumer base and the one right below that, which is much bigger.”

Just like Uber is less about the ride than about the app to book it, the startup community has been interested in Wheels Up's proprietary booking app, which the company developed internally. The app manages members' flights, by allowing travel booking, planning and access to the company's conceirge services. Part of the proceeds from the latest capital raise are going to increase development of the app.

Dichter said the plan will be use the app to allow ridesharing. For example, if a member books a flight from the New York area to Boston, other members would be given the opportunity to take that same flight, which would lower the costs for everyone. It will also allow members to see repositioning flights -- about 30 percent of the fleet's flights right now -- and travel on those, he said.

"It's social aviation," Dichter said.

In addition to using proceeds to enhance the app, Wheels Up plans to fund a further expansion in the U.S. to areas like Chicago, the Pacific Northwest and the Midwest, Dichter said. 

Also, the new capital will allow the company to enter Western Europe, with the first flight offerings scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2016, he said.

4 Ways to Be Certain You Don't Order Faux Pas at a Business Lunch

Business lunches can induce anxiety, especially those high-stakes meetings with investors and potential clients. Good manners make a big difference in these meetings, improving the odds that the meeting will have good results. Whether you’re meeting with a longtime business associate, an employee or a potential business partner, it’s important to order carefully to prevent sending the wrong message. Here are a few things to avoid at your next business lunch.

1. Messy foods.

I have to admit that I was inspired to write this post after a lobster dinner during my most recent business trip to New York City. I was with some close work associates, so I didn't feel all that bad when my lobster became messy as I cracked and ate it. 

I realized at the time that this wouldn't have worked if I had been dining with a boss or supervisor, however. It’s difficult to have good manners when you’re spilling items on your shirt or food is dripping down your chin. So, save that feast for a weekend meal with friends or the family. At your business dinner, stick with easy-to-eat items that you can cut into small pieces to avoid a mess.

While browsing the menu, consider the impact various food choices will have on your teeth, mouth, and fingers. Don’t order foods that will stain your teeth or lips and avoid anything that has to be eaten by hand. A business luncheon is the perfect time to put all of the utensils beside your plate to use.

2. Disruptive foods

Skip all foods that take a toll on your digestive system. Business lunches can often drag on well after the meal is complete, which means you’ll want to avoid a gastrointestinal incident. This is especially true if you’ll be spending the time following your lunch with someone of importance, doing things like touring your local office or going over financials back at the office.

You should also avoid obnoxious lunch choices like fajitas or garlic-infused dishes. The odor produced by these meals can overwhelm an entire table, introducing a distraction that wouldn’t otherwise have been there. That odor may linger on your dining companions’ clothing for the remainder of the day, leading to an undesirable lasting impression.

3. Pricey menu items.

If the other person is paying, the worst thing you can do is order the most expensive item on the menu, even if everyone else at the table is doing so. Even if the other person isn’t taking care of the check, ordering showy, overpriced menu items can make you appear as though you’re wasteful with your business’s funds. This likely isn’t the impression you want to make on potential business partners.

Pay attention to what your dining companion orders and stay somewhere in that realm. If the other people at the table are having salads, it might not be a good idea to splurge on the prime rib. Conversely, if everyone else has asked for a pricey steak, a salad might stand out, making it necessary to perhaps order a less expensive menu item like grilled chicken or pork chops.

4. Alcohol

Alcohol is a tricky topic for business meetings, but it’s important to avoid getting inebriated during any work-related function. So many people abstain from alcohol for personal reasons, it can lead to an awkward moment if you order alcohol first. For that reason, follow the other person’s lead and only order an alcoholic beverage if he or she does.

If the meal does bring alcohol, order your usual drink and sip it slowly to avoid overindulging. If your client orders a second drink and you feel that you can comfortably handle it, go for it, but continue to sip slowly on the second drink, as well. One popular rule of thumb is drink water at the same time as your alcoholic beverage to avoid dehydration and improve digestion.
