#34 – Own Your Path

Don’t avoid your responsibility to make tough decisions. I think some entrepreneurs push decisions off in the name of employee empowerment. Whether that’s fear, indecision, or just a blatant misunderstanding of what employee empowerment is, it’s bad for the business. Every single time you compromise, or allow others to compromise, the vision, mission, or purpose of your business, you piss on your company flag. Fiercely defend your organizational philosophy and require the same from your team. It’s not against the rules to demand loyalty and buy in. _ Thank you so much for consuming my content.

All I have are my experiences – successes and failures – and I hope you enjoy hearing about them as much as I enjoy sharing them. _ Chris Weir is the Chairman and CEO of The Weirdo Group, and the active CEO of Two Second Media, a full-service media, marketing, and advertising agency focused on supporting small to medium sized businesses.
