On this special episode of Stick Like Glue Radio, I interview serial entrepreneur Mike Agugliaro. Mike is co-owner of New Jersey’s largest and respected home services company, Gold Medal Service, and also the founder of the CEO Warrior program. Don’t miss this powerful show!

Main Questions Asked:

• Talk about mastering mindset.
• Did a lot of your confidence come from martial arts?
• Did you have a success mindset early in business, or did it develop recently?
• How does critical alignment work with someone who has a staff?
• How do you use critical alignment in Gold Medal Services?

Key Lessons Learned:

Mindset

• Mike figured out his brain would do what he told it, over and over.
• The big problem with helping people go to the next level is that people are looking for more knowledge.
• Until you have your mindset aligned, prepared, and convinced that change will be easy, you won’t be ready to consume more information.
• Once you identify the mindset, you stand the ultimate chance to win.

The Paradigm Shift

• You can become disempowered, or you can use any experience, good or bad, and create empowerment.

Future Thinking

• This can be a painful process if you look decades into the future, and can force you to make a decision.

Critical Alignment

• This is a missing piece in communication in general.
• A lot of relationships, both personal and in business, struggle due to the lack of alignment.
• You can’t have alignment until you have clarity on what and when you will do things.
• Without alignment, you can never hold someone truly accountable to an outcome.

Employee Alignment

• Every person at the company needs to know the target in order to be able to row in the same direction.
• Profit, growth, and expansion are a given, but to what level?

Accountability

• Accountability creates a culture and a mindset inside a company where average is not acceptable.
• If you are accountable, then you need clarity on what one expects and when and how one knows if one is winning or losing.
• If conversations aren’t had, it’s easy for people to misread winning or losing.
• Hire people who love to be held accountable for delivering the best performance every day.

Communication is Clarity and Alignment

• When someone says there isn’t enough communication, they often mean that there isn’t enough clarity and alignment between departments.
