Two webinar attendees asked a similar question:

M asked, “Does leadership’s key apply to small businesses with less than five employees?”

B asked, “How do I lead if I'm a solopreneur?”

I love these two questions.

It gets to the core of success in life and business.

Creating a meaningful company is a challenge and choice. Creating a meaningful life is more of a challenge.

No matter how many employees you have or if you are a solopreneur, you will make choices.   

I have shared with you: "What does it take to be a leader and grow a great company?
One that is meaningful to the client, to the employees, to the community, to your family, and you, the owner.

A leader transforms from a worker-owner to a mentor and teacher to their employees with a Value Statement.

A leader creates and leads the organization to a future vision with a Strategic Objective.

A leader will develop and mentor the culture...

Primary Aims and Choices 

One outstanding participant in the webinar sent me a personal email.
I enjoyed reading about the choices she made for her family.
Yet, she is looking to build a business that satisfies HER primary aim.
I know what she feels. I made those choices too.
Here is her email about her experience with life and work balance.
And my response.

Hello Mr. Chiarella,
It's so nice to hear from you. I'm going to watch your presentation (again) so that I can take good notes.

I was thinking about you and your beautiful triplets a few days ago because I have a set of twin daughters who changed my life. I took a step down from Corporate America about eight years ago. I got tired of being the first one to drop off my twin daughters at the daycare and the last one to pick them up from the daycare each and every day. That's when guilt, fear, anger, and frustration manifest themselves.
I would love to stay connected with great leaders like you.

Thank you so much for...
