REVIEW EPISODE: Statistics: What You’re Not Seeing

Sun, 03 May 2026 22:04:09 -0400

You may look at your stats—but are you seeing the full picture? Do you understand your scene well enough to achieve your vision?

To raise statistics, you first have to use them—but it’s not just about looking, it’s about seeing clearly. It may be what's hidden from view that's leaving you in the dark.

This episode is the first lesson in learning to see what’s there—and what isn’t—so you can gain razor-sharp focus.

Episode 10, Volume 7: SUCCEEDING WITH STATS PART 1 - Controlling Statistics

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 22:56:38 -0400

According to L. Ron Hubbard, “Graphs and stat analysis are the heart and soul of management.”

It’s hard to overstate the importance of this subject—and yet, we’ve never done a series on it. So get ready. This is going to be a wild ride.

We’re diving straight into the heart and soul of management, starting with a fundamental question: How do you actually control stats?

Episode 9, Volume 7: DISTRACTION: HANDLING THE BARRIERS—Part 2

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 20:41:06 -0400

If you listened to the first episode of this two-part series, you saw how destructive DISTRACTION is to your success. But we didn’t tell you how to handle it. In this episode, you’ll learn the simple law that cuts through distraction and brings chaos under control.

REVIEW EPISODE: Handling Bullies — A Lesson in Justice

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 19:48:54 -0400

You experienced them as a kid. But bullies don’t grow out of it—they just get better at hiding it.

And in business and life, the damage can be far greater.
In this episode, learn how to recognize them—and handle them.

REVIEW EPISODE: Why you are having staffing problems

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 19:27:47 -0400

The common denominator to finding competent employees has been discovered, and the handling is simple. Listen to this episode. It could not only change your life, it could give you one.

REVIEW EPISODE: The Barrier to Implementation

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 21:00:00 -0400

You can know something.
Agree with it.
Even intend to apply it.

And still—not implement.

That is not accidental.

There is a specific barrier that stops application.

In this episode, we bring it into view—and show you how to handle it so you can move forward and win.

Episode 8, Volume 7: DISTRACTION: THE BARRIER BEHIND THE BARRIERS—Part 1

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 23:08:52 -0400

There are barriers to success that are easy to spot—and others that are far more insidious. Learn to recognize the one that is seldom given the importance it deserves, yet can bring about all the rest.

Episode 7, Volume 7: BUSINESS SUICIDE: Cause #4, OUT-TECH!

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 20:25:54 -0400

There are some episodes of BusinessWISE where, while we’re putting them together, I find myself wondering if this might be the most important episode we’ve ever done. This one falls into that category. I won’t say it’s the most important—but it is damn important, I can tell you that.

It may explain why you sweat and toil to expand your business.

REVIEW EPISODE: Stat Management versus Stat Push

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 21:33:30 -0400

If you are using the Hubbard management system, you are using Stat Management. Conversely, the more you know about and apply statistical management, the more you are using the Hubbard management system. But here and there some think they are using stat management when they are actually using “stat push”. It pays to understand the difference.

Episode 6, Volume 7: BUSINESS SUICIDE: Cause #3 The Potential Trouble Source

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 20:02:00 -0500

There are four conditions that are completely within your control to handle that, left untended, mean certain self-destruction of the group. This is condition Number 3. Learn about it so you don’t go effect of it, and learn the remedy.

Review Episode: CONTROLLING INCOME- A fundamental

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 07:37:01 -0500

Show me an entrepreneur who isn’t interested in controlling income — and I’ll show you someone who won’t stay in business very long. But there is a basic fundamental here that many are tempted to overlook. Master this one point and you take a decisive first step toward stabilizing and expanding your income. Ignore it — and it will cost you.

Episode 5, Volume 7: BUSINESS SUICIDE: Cause #2

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 21:50:44 -0500

The second cause of business suicide is unfortunately all too common and becoming more so. You need to be especially alert for this one. If you have customers yelling in reception, chances are it comes from this.

Episode 4, Volume 7: BUSINESS SUICIDE: Cause #1

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 21:46:53 -0500

There are four causes that L. Ron Hubbard described as a subtle form of organizational “suicide.” Most businesses don’t recognize them — until money flows dry up, contracts break down, or customers disappear. The good news? Each has a precise and simple handling. In this episode, we examine Cause #1. Look for the rest in the coming weeks.

Episode 3, Volume 7: LIFE MASTERY PART 5- SELF-INVALIDATION

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 22:34:04 -0500

Does invalidation make a better employee or teammate? The evidence says no—yet it’s used constantly. What about invalidating yourself? Does that create a stronger, more capable you? Also doubtful. In this episode, we take a hard look at self-invalidation and examine what L. Ron Hubbard has to say about its effects—and the alternative.

Review Episode: LAST CALL FOR CAUSE!

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 20:01:00 -0500

We have done a couple of episodes in a row on HOW TO BE AT CAUSE, and this one is a fitting wrap up on the subject, at least for now. And while it is difficult to peg any one episode as the “ultimate” at showing you how to go from “effect” to “cause,” I would say this one is close.

Episode 2, Volume 7: THE SECRET TO “GUARANTEED” CAUSE

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 22:38:08 -0500

There is one attribute that virtually guarantees you will be at cause. It’s simple, mechanical, and within anyone’s reach. In this episode, we examine it closely—and why it works so reliably when applied.

Review Episode: How to Be At Cause

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 20:04:00 -0500

No one in the business world likes being at effect—at the effect of the market, the competition, a bad employee, or the inability to find competent ones.

There is, however, a simple formula from L. Ron Hubbard that will put you at cause in any circumstance.
Learn it. Apply it. And watch your ability to operate—and win—rise.

Episode 1, Volume 7: LIFE MASTERY PART 4- VALIDATION

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 23:21:13 -0500

When we think of success in achieving our goals, we often think of discipline. We know it takes discipline to attain them. And when we think of discipline, we usually think of hard training and constant correction towards perfection. But there is another factor, perhaps the most important one, you will learn about in this episode.

Episode 34, Volume 6: POSTULATES AND THE FUTURE

Sun, 28 Dec 2025 21:26:43 -0500

There is no better time to sit down and dream up some postulates than right now, as we enter 2026. The better you understand postulates (and there is a lot to know about them), the more skilled you become in using them. The more skilled you become in using them, the better you can create and control your future. It’s that simple. So, make sure you tune in to this one, and Happy New Year!

Special Holiday Message: On the Spirit of the Season

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 21:24:08 -0500

Each year at this time, we pause to reflect on what truly matters — goodwill, responsibility, and the role we play as business leaders.This special episode draws on one of the great holiday narratives long shared across generations to explore the quality of help, hope, and leadership that still matters now.
Whether you’re hearing it for the first time or returning to it again, this is a moment to realign, recharge, and move forward with purpose. From all of us at BusinessWISE, we wish you a meaningful and prosperous holiday season.

Episode 33, Volume 6: LIFE MASTERY PART 3- ETHICS GRADIENTS

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 22:22:54 -0500

We have been discussing LIFE MASTERY in terms of handling discipline on self, but how about handling discipline with others? Is there tech to that? Well, to master life one would have to be able to handle ethics with others, and as you might expect, L. Ron Hubbard addressed this subject with precision. So here we go!

Review Episode: The Hidden Factor That Makes Outflow Actually Work

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 21:12:22 -0500

Outflow alone isn’t enough.

To raise your inflow, you must raise the quality of your communication — and there’s one exact ingredient that most entrepreneurs miss. When you add it, you don’t just get more response… you get better response.

This episode shook a lot of business owners awake the first time it aired.
Don’t skip it.

Episode 32, Volume 6: LIFE MASTERY PART 2- SELF-DISCIPLINE

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 22:08:18 -0500

High-performing entrepreneurs talk about discipline constantly. The “entrepreneurship hype” bubble has burst. Today successful business owners believe in skill, work, consistency, and discipline. And just about everyone agrees on one thing, they can all use more of it! This episode gives you the LRH on the subject.

Episode 31, Volume 6: LIFE MASTERY Part 1

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 20:07:10 -0500

You have a business; can you have a life as well? Unfortunately, a business, often started to give you freedom, can crowd out things that leave a life feel incomplete. But you can master your life, you CAN control it. There is know-how to this, and this week’s episode is a great place to start.

Episode 30, Volume 6: THE MAGIC TOUCH PART 2

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 19:56:26 -0500

OK, let’s introduce you to THE MAGIC TOUCH PART 2. Learn how to part the waters! Learn how to wave a magic wand that opens up friendship and cooperation and allows you to get your message over to others!

Review Episode: GOAL MAKERS AND MANAGEMENT

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 10:24:32 -0500

Recently we have trafficked with some incredible “Goal Makers”, and I am making them all listen to this episode because they all need it. L. Ron Hubbard pointed out something so critical and so fundamental, but it is routinely missed, resulting in creative people working themselves to death with their goals unrealized. Now you will know why and what you can do about it.

Episode 29, Volume 6: The Magic Touch – Part 1

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 22:47:58 -0500

We’ve all met those individuals who seem to have the Magic Touch. They walk into a room full of grumpy, resistant people — and somehow melt them with nothing more than a smile and a handshake. What is that magic? In this episode, you’ll find out — and discover how easily you can acquire it yourself.

Review Episode: Black PR— An Evil Wind

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 22:28:27 -0400

Public relations isn’t just a business function — it’s a matter of survival. In the age of social media, a single false narrative can spread like wildfire — and suddenly, you’re fighting battles you didn’t start. To protect yourself and your group, the first step is to know exactly what you’re dealing with. This episode pulls back the curtain on Black PR — the hidden influence that destroys reputations.

Episode 28, Volume 6: OFFENSE AND DEFENSE IN PR

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 22:22:25 -0400

Public Relations isn’t optional—no more than sales or delivery. You may think you don’t need it… until someone uses PR against you, because there is offensive and defensive PR. In this episode, we’ll uncover the single missing factor that L. Ron Hubbard discovered that makes PR not just safe, but as precise and powerful as a Jedi lightsaber.

Episode 27, Volume 6: PR: Truth or Trap?

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 22:54:27 -0400

You need to understand PR thoroughly to achieve your full potential as an entrepreneur. That’s a fact. But it’s also true that there are liabilities to the subject and it has been severely perverted. To fully understand PR, you need to confront the dark side of “the force.”

REVIEW EPISODE: The Difference between Marketing and PR

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 22:25:03 -0400

Let’s take a deep dive into the all-important but neglected subject of Public Relations. First of all, you need to understand the difference between PR and Marketing or you are going to mess up and severely limit your expansion. For that reason we are going to start this series with a review of one of our most popular episodes.

Episode 26, Volume 6: WEALTH & FRIENDSHIP

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 22:13:01 -0400

The road to wealth and prosperity could be said to be made up of many things, hard work being one of them, being honest, being competent, but there is another factor we seldom give much care or attention to, and it may be the most important of them all. Make sure you listen to this one. This could be a life-changer!

Episode 25, Volume 6: HANDLING ETHICS

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 22:32:29 -0400

When you are doing all the right things to bring about expansion and it is still not going right, then you still have that last tool you can use to save the day- ETHICS! But you better know what ETHICS is and how to handle it first!

Episode 24, Volume 6: AWARENESS & ABILITY

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 08:41:17 -0400

The past few episodes we have been unravelling what might be the greatest, most fundamental problem of them all: how to tap into the abilities of oneself and others, especially one’s execs and staff. This episode we go over the LRH data that brings this down to BRASS TACKS!!

Episode 23, Volume 6: YOUR HIDDEN SUPERPOWER

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 23:05:38 -0400

We have been going over the subjects of ABILITY and WILLINGNESS in recent episodes. But what do you think might be the ability senior to all others, the superpower that not only guarantees your survival, but the survival of others in your life as well. One might say this is a pretty important episode.

Episode 22, Volume 6: IGNITING WILLINGNESS

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 23:23:31 -0400

If you caught our last episode, WILLINGNESS & ABILITY, you now understand how these two forces work together. So here’s the real question: How do you ignite willingness in your employees to unlock maximum ability and drive success? Listen to this episode to find out.

Episode 21, Volume 6: WILLINGNESS & ABILITY

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 20:05:00 -0400

You’ve heard it said: “So-and-so is an able person.” Maybe you’ve wished for more able staff—or even questioned your own ability. Ability is a quality we all recognize and value.

And you’ve probably also heard someone described as “very willing but not that able,” or “quite able but not that willing.” We instinctively measure people by these two qualities, often without even realizing it.

In this episode, we explore willingness and ability through the lens of L. Ron Hubbard’s discoveries. Once you understand how he defined and related these two factors, you’ll see them in a light you may never have considered before—one that can change how you view yourself, your staff, and your future expansion.

Review Episode: A SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL LAW

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 20:58:01 -0400

We are about to wrap up our series on how to correctly expand your business, but before we do we need to revisit a fundamental law we have not given enough importance to in our episodes. No law about management is simpler, no law about management is more powerful, and yet no law is so commonly ignored.

Episode 19, Volume 6: HOW TO SCALE YOUR BUSINESS Part 3- THE SECOND TECHNOLOGY

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 19:40:32 -0400

Though the term “to scale” has only come into use in a business context in the new millennium, the secrets to scaling a business are contained in the Hubbard managements system being developed since 1950. It starts with understanding that to scale one must master at least TWO technologies, and here is where we start discussing the second one.

Sun, 06 Jul 2025 22:37:29 -0400

If you have ever decided that your business is not “scalable”, that you have hit a dead-end in your expansion and you are just going to have to learn to live with it, that expansion is a struggle and basically impossible and who wants it, since it’s just more work for you, well, there is a reason for that dead-end, and you DON’T have to live with it and your business IS SCALABLE! Listen to this episode to learn the answer.

Episode 17, Volume 6: HOW TO SCALE YOUR BUSINESS Part1

Sun, 29 Jun 2025 23:07:36 -0400

If you have been wondering how to scale your business, or wondered if your business is scalable or not, or what “to scale” even means in the business world, and what LRH data covers this hot topic and buzzword, this short series of episodes is going to get all this cleared up. As always, let’s start with some fundamentals.

Review Episode: WHAT SOLVES EVERYTHING?

Sun, 22 Jun 2025 21:40:57 -0400

One of the interesting things one discovers when seeking truth is that it tends to be counter-intuitive at first. Once recognized, of course, things get much, much simpler, and one wonders how one could ever have bought into the untruths! This is one of the most fundamental of all, and solves pretty much anything and everything.

Episode 16, Volume 6: Time Management Part 5: FATAL ATTRACTION

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 21:32:22 -0400

Review Episode: IMPORTANT DATA ON HOW TO GET FROM A TO B

Sun, 08 Jun 2025 21:55:36 -0400

I was recently in communication with an extraordinarily able WISE member who was struggling. Not common for this person at all. I helped him out with this very important and very commonly overlooked data from LRH, and remembered we did an episode on this way back at the beginning of time. We are going to take a short break from our TIME MANAGEMENT series to review it, as it has great relevance to the final episode in this series.

Episode 15, Volume 6: Time Management Part 4: ATTENTION!

Sun, 01 Jun 2025 22:30:06 -0400

If you have been following this series of episodes on TIME MANAGEMENT then you have learned that to master time, you have to learn to master the cycle of action. But to master the cycle of action, you need to master something else, and that is the subject of this week’s episode!

Episode 14, Volume 6: Time Management Part 3: One word that puts you at cause over time

Sun, 25 May 2025 22:43:46 -0400

There is one word in the Hubbard management system that, clearly understood and applied, not only puts you at cause over time, it can practically put you at cause over anything. You have probably heard it, but make sure you really understand it.

Review Episode: Time Management Part 2- How to Cut your Work in Half

Sun, 18 May 2025 20:04:00 -0400

This is a series on TIME MANAGEMENT. In it you can expect to learn many disciplines that will help you cause and control time, but this episode contains a “heavy rule” that will not only make an immediate impact on your time management but is also a fundamental to the rest of this series.

Episode 13, Volume 6: Time Management Part 1: Truth vs Lies

Sun, 11 May 2025 23:09:00 -0400

This is the first in a series of episodes on TIME MANAGEMENT. If you don’t have time to listen to it, you probably should. I guarantee that you have bought into some lies on this subject, let’s start off by giving you the truth.

Episode 12, Volume 6: EVALUATING PEOPLE PART 3- PERSISTENCE

Sun, 04 May 2025 23:47:30 -0400

I cannot think of a more valuable personality trait than persistence. And none is more telling in establishing who to put on your team. And another thing, if you are a little weak on persistence yourself, you may have a hard time realizing greatness. Start cultivating it. This episode will help.

Review Episode: GREAT GROUP, GREAT LEADER

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 08:49:13 -0400

It is always interesting to hear someone being critical of a group they are leading. If you really look at it, it is so odd that you almost have to double-check your hearing. Who creates the group? The common denominator of great groups are great leaders. What might be the common denominator of poor ones? Let's face it, the better you understand and improve your skills as a leader, the better will be the group you are leading. Listen to this review episode and start honing your skills.

Episode 11, Volume 6: BUILDING YOUR BUSINESS: THE FIRST STEP

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 22:49:33 -0400

Sun, 13 Apr 2025 23:12:35 -0400

But listen carefully, because there are some very important fundamentals from Mr. Hubbard that we are going to cover on this one.

REVIEW EPISODE: Solving Problems Step One

Episode 9, Volume 6: INCOME BOOSTER- HOW TO CAUSE REFERRALS

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 23:10:49 -0400

The object of these INCOME BOOSTERS is to give you the certainty that you can always CAUSE income to rise! Sometimes a member tells us that their business is built on “word of mouth,” and this is an explanation FOR why their business is down because “no one is referring” right now. Sort of “it’s all up to fate”. No, it’s not up to fate, it’s up to YOU and how you go about CAUSING REFERRALS!

Episode 8, Volume 6: INCOME BOOSTER- FIVE STEPS TO MORE REFERRALS

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 22:12:29 -0400

Sun, 09 Mar 2025 22:20:38 -0400

Episode 6, Volume 6: THE FUNCTIONS OF THE ORGANIZATION PART 5- WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT

Sun, 02 Mar 2025 22:40:57 -0500

I am willing to bet that the description you have given of the Valuable Final Product of your company or business is incomplete. A lack of a complete statement of your VFP and the process needed to get there is probably cutting your potential business in half. Here is the next installment on THE FUNCTIONS OF THE ORGANIZATION.

REVIEW EPISODE: HOW TO REVIVE A DEAD GOVERNMENT

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 00:11:08 -0500

This might be of particular interest to residents of the United States today, but there are probably few governments that could not use this formula, and, guess what, it can revive a struggling business as well! AND THE FORMULA IS ONLY ONE SENTENCE!!

Sun, 16 Feb 2025 23:59:44 -0500

REVIEW EPISODE: ORG BOARD BASICS

Sun, 02 Feb 2025 20:36:15 -0500

We are precisely one third of the way through our series on THE FUNCTIONS OF THE ORGANIZING BOARD. We have recommended to listeners that they listen to earlier episodes on the Org Board while we dig in on specific functions in detail in this series, but let’s make sure you have these basics before we continue.

Episode 4, Volume 6: THE FUNCTIONS OF THE ORGANIZATION PART 3- SOURCE & EXISTENCE

Sun, 26 Jan 2025 20:05:00 -0500

OK, this is the last episode covering the “left-hand side” of the Seven Division Organizing Board as researched and developed by Mr. L. Ron Hubbard. These could be the “invisible hats” you are wearing as an entrepreneur that cause you endless aggravation and, worse, could sink your ship… don’t skip them!

Episode 3, Volume 6: THE FUNCTIONS OF THE ORGANIZATION PART 2- RECEPTION & SALES

Sun, 19 Jan 2025 22:01:48 -0500

We continue with our series on THE FUNCTIONS OF THE ORGANIZATION, covering functions that L. Ron Hubbard states MUST be covered for the organization’s basic survival. Interestingly, they are functions we commonly see neglected in too many companies. Listen to this episode and decide if they have been neglected in YOURS!

Episode 2, Volume 6: THE FUNCTIONS OF THE ORGANIZATION PART 1- ORDER

Sun, 12 Jan 2025 22:17:37 -0500

Our episode on WHEN IS AN ORGANIZATION NOT AN ORGANIZATION has led to requests for further descriptions of the main functions of the SEVEN DIVISION ORGANIZING BOARD discovered and developed by Mr. L. Ron Hubbard. Let’s start 2025 with a series that describes all the VITAL functions of an organizing board, starting with the importance of ORDER.

Episode 1, Volume 6: WHEN IS AN ORGANIZATION NOT AN ORGANIZATION?

Sun, 05 Jan 2025 19:02:00 -0500

Part of the problem you could be having with your business is that you think you have an organization when you don’t. This problem is far more common than most business owners realize. Let’s set the record straight on when an organization is an organization and when it isn’t!!

Episode 35, Volume 5: DREAMS, GOALS AND POSTULATES

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 20:05:02 -0500

Here comes 2025!!! Time to make some resolutions, right? Let’s go! Let’s dream, let’s set some new goals and make some decisions! If you feel like doing that, then it is time to study up on POSTULATES, starting with this episode. If you don’t feel like doing that, you REALLY need this episode!

Episode 34, Volume 5: WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST ASSET IN BUSINESS?

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 22:15:50 -0500

You might think of many things that could be the correct answer to the question, “What is your greatest asset in business?” This episode discusses one that you may not have thought of and that L. Ron Hubbard describes as a “highly esteemed commodity”; something that all of us are potentially carrying in our hip pocket and just need to pull out, dust off, and put to good use.

Episode 33, Volume 5: REFORMING CHAOS

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 22:41:34 -0500

Some things need reform around here, don’t you think? Few will argue that our government needs reform, from both sides of the aisle. How about your own business? Your family? Yourself? Well, if you are going to create reform, better know exactly what you are doing if you want to succeed. This episode will tell you how.

Episode 32, Volume 5: APPEARANCE

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 22:03:53 -0500

How important is your appearance to you? Too important? Not important? How important SHOULD it be to you, ever thought about that? Some think that any attention on appearance is too much, some clearly don’t care about their appearance, and some seem waaaaaaay too interested in how they look. And what about the people who work for and with you? This is actually a rather hot topic these days. Some consider standards of appearance “divisive”. Let’s see what Mr. Hubbard has to say on the subject.

Episode 31, Volume 5: THE SECRET TO SUCCESS

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 22:49:34 -0500

There are likely hundreds if not thousands of books, articles, videos and audios offering “the secret to success”. We are going to be daring and state that with this episode, we are going to nail what is the TRUE secret to success. See if it resonates as true for you.

Episode 30, Volume 5: HOW TO STAY OUT OF DANGER

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 08:53:24 -0500

Some of us like to seek out danger time to time. Nothing really wrong with that if you are doing it for thrills or diversion, but do you like going into DANGER simply because of carelessness, oversight or stupidity? Probably not, especially if it means losing your business or your livelihood. Nobody wants to come home and tell the family that they are about to lose their home. So let’s stay out of that condition as much as possible, shall we? And here is how.

REVIEW EPISODE: A Step Towards Invincibility

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 20:34:36 -0500

In the immortal words of Bob Dylan: The times, they are a-changing. You better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone! It could be that we are entering the age of the great awakening. Certainly, there have been many of us working like mad to make it so. But, as we learn from Mr. Hubbard, when order goes in confusion blows off. Now is the time to bulletproof yourself, and this episode covers data from LRH that will show you how!

REVIEW EPISODE: THE DEFINITION OF “EXECUTIVE”

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 20:00:00 -0500

We are going to do a short series on being an executive and what one must do as an exec and leader in todays business world as laid out by L. Ron Hubbard. This review episode is a good place to start.

Episode 29, Volume 5: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD & BAD MANAGEMENT

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 23:31:31 -0500

Most of us can recognize good management. You can see it in the productivity and efficiency of an organization, its appearance, the morale of the staff, etc. Most of us can recognize bad management, and boy, we see plenty of that around! But you might be interested to know there is essentially only one key factor that separates good and bad management, and you are about to learn what that is in this episode.

Episode 27, Volume 5: THE FACTORS OF WEALTH

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 22:54:21 -0400

My guess is that many of the listeners of BusinessWISE have an interest in becoming wealthy, and many already are. One thing’s for sure, it’s an interesting subject. But what are the essential factors of WEALTH? The better you understand them, the better your chances of getting there.

REVIEW EPISODE: How to Measure the Quality of your Promotion

Sun, 06 Oct 2024 20:31:21 -0400

Yes, you need to outflow to inflow. But is all outflow equal? Or is some outflow more effective than other outflow? How do you know? We have seen members eliminate their most productive promotional actions, either because they had no way to MEASURE whether they were getting results, or, more commonly, were using the WRONG measuring stick. Learn the fundamentals in this episode.

Episode 26, Volume 5: SIMPLE MAGIC

Sun, 29 Sep 2024 22:57:46 -0400

Episode 25, Volume 5: NECESSITY & ABILITY

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 21:25:47 -0400

What monitors ability? You possibly have a sense that you are much more able than you have a habit of demonstrating. Possibly you have the idea that there is a greater you within you waiting to be unleashed. You know something? There is. You just need to know how to tap into it. This episode will help.

Episode 24, Volume 5: EVALUATING PEOPLE PART 2: HOW DO THEY TALK?

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 23:17:46 -0400

Evaluating people is arguably your most important survival skill when building a group. You need to be very good at it, especially in a “civilization” as challenging as this one. And of all the characteristics one can use to assess where people are at, the way they talk is the most telling.

REVIEW EPISODE: How to get the Most from your People

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 20:37:05 -0400

We have started a series on how to evaluate people, but before we get too far into it, perhaps it would not be a bad idea to bring back a very early but extremely popular episode of BusinessWISE on how to DEAL with people better. Incompetent handling can make the best employee a nightmare, so make sure it isn’t YOU driving your team downtone!

Episode 23, Volume 5: EVALUATING PEOPLE PART 1: COURAGE

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 22:34:01 -0400

Your most important survival tool is your ability to evaluate others. Bad decisions on people are your worst and most expensive mistakes. Good decisions bring joy and victory! But this is a broad subject, so let’s tackle it quality by quality, starting with COURAGE!

REVIEW EPISODE: HOW TO HANDLE MONEY PROBLEMS

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 20:02:00 -0400

REVIEW EPISODE: BEING CAUSE PART 3: The Magic Triangle

Sun, 04 Aug 2024 20:02:00 -0400

Throughout the timeless past, the triangle has often been perceived as having the ability to focus and amplify energy. True or false, one thing’s for sure, the triangle can be used to express important relationships, and none more important than L. Ron Hubbard’s discovery of the magic triangle that can help YOU to make ANYTHING go RIGHT! Our final and possibly most important episode in this series.

Episode 21, Volume 5: WARNING: BEING CAUSE PART 2!

Sun, 28 Jul 2024 22:22:12 -0400

The last episode of BusinessWISE was entitled BEING CAUSE PART 1. At the end of it we issued a warning that BEING CAUSE PART 2 would not be for the faint of heart, and it isn’t! But this episode contains a datum so powerful, yet so simple, it will put you at CAUSE in virtually any situation. Ready? Let’s go!

Episode 20, Volume 5: BEING CAUSE PART 1

Sun, 21 Jul 2024 22:48:49 -0400

Which would you prefer to be in your business, CAUSE or EFFECT? Do you like hopefully peering at the appointment book to see how busy you are going to be, or would you just be able to CAUSE business when you want it? Do you like being the effect of incompetent or unethical personnel or do you like the idea of being able to MAKE great employees? You CAN be cause in ALL areas of your business, and this episode tells you how!

Episode 19, Volume 5: WHAT CONDITION IS YOUR CONDITION IN?

Sun, 14 Jul 2024 22:21:26 -0400

Do you know, without comm lag, what condition your business is in? Do you know the steps of the formula for that condition? All of them? Do you DO the steps of the formula, ALL of them? If your answers are a bit vague, chances are you are struggling a bit with this subject. This episode could change all that. Give it a go!

REVIEW EPISODE: The Four Steps of Enlightenment

Sun, 07 Jul 2024 21:38:00 -0400

If you cannot sell yourself, your product, your service, your ideas, you are not going to get very far in business or in life. But “sell” can mean different things to different people. To some, it is a game of deception, but to the sincere and the powerful, it is a game of enlightenment. And if you are going to enlighten, you need to know these four steps.

Episode 18, Volume 5: THE WHY FOR STRUGGLES AND FAILURES TO EXPAND

Sun, 30 Jun 2024 22:20:56 -0400

Why? Why does one struggle with their business? Why does one have problems with expansion? Why? In this episode, L. Ron Hubbard gives you that WHY, and I’ll bet you dollars to donuts, it’s going to surprise you, because you may think you know the datum, but have never evaluated its correct importance before.

Episode 17, Volume 5: A FRAMEWORK OF PURPOSE

Sun, 23 Jun 2024 22:59:09 -0400

Do not, do not, do not underestimate the importance and power of PURPOSE either in building a business, reviving a failing business, or building a life. We have done several episodes on this subject, but here is a new look and a vital connection that you may have never heard before and which could have a dramatic and positive impact on your success. Let us know if it does!

Review Episode: How to Raise Your Income

Sun, 16 Jun 2024 20:21:58 -0400

Episodes on raising income are always popular. Regard this episode as a FIRST STEP in raising income. If you follow BusinessWISE you may think you know the answer, but I think you are going to be surprised.

Episode 16, Volume 5: HOW TO HANDLE GROUPS

Sun, 09 Jun 2024 21:40:21 -0400

With a title like HOW TO HANDLE GROUPS, this episode had better deliver some powerful fundamentals. Check it out for yourself! I think you will agree that the ability to handle groups all starts with these basics.

Review Episode: The First Stable Datum on Income

Sun, 02 Jun 2024 20:18:38 -0400

This was a very early episode of BusinessWISE, and perhaps one of our most popular. But despite its importance to every entrepreneur who needs to be cause over their income, we have never reviewed it. Better late than never!

Episode 15, Volume 5: THE BUYOUT OF AMERICA

Sun, 26 May 2024 22:16:08 -0400

I am sure you have heard of a “turnaround specialist” before. Perhaps you have wondered what their techniques are for “turning around” a struggling business. I know I have. Well, it turns out their techniques are not that great and not all that survival. On the other hand, L. Ron Hubbard has a winning approach that DOES work, and where EVERYBODY wins! And it’s simple! Learn about both of these styles of “turnaround” in this episode.

Review Episode: The First and Most Important Lesson

Sun, 19 May 2024 20:13:00 -0400

We are about to launch a campaign to make every listener of BusinessWISE a showcase of the power of the Hubbard management system with superlative organization, a loyal and dynamic staff, and booming stats. Are you in? Let’s start with a review of this first and vital lesson.

Episode 14, Volume 5: HOW GOVERNMENT BECOMES SUPPRESSIVE

Sun, 12 May 2024 21:50:29 -0400

Why do governments start taking savage, oppressive actions against their own people? Why might you sometimes feel like you are going to take a battle axe to the people you generally count upon to carry the organization? There is a reason, and once you learn it, you will no longer be the effect of it.

Episode 13, Volume 5: HANDLING THE TOXIC CUSTOMER

Sun, 05 May 2024 21:46:10 -0400

We think you are really going to love this episode! The toxic customer is probably a bigger factor in your successes and your failures than you realize, and these truths may very well make you feel a lot better about your business, your staff, and your life in general.

REVIEW EPISODE: The Qualities of Leadership

Sun, 28 Apr 2024 21:39:21 -0400

This being an election year, we thought it might be a good idea to devote a few episodes to LEADERSHIP, starting with this one on the essential qualities needed in a leader.

Episode 12, Volume 5: THE AESTHETIC WAVELENGTH

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 22:04:47 -0400

We have discussed the relationship between Art and Management before in BusinessWISE, but this stable datum on the Aesthetic Wavelength is very likely to going to change the way you view your business, and will unquestionably raise your level of success.

Episode 11, Volume 5: THE SOCIAL PERSONALITY

Sun, 14 Apr 2024 23:25:40 -0400

Looking at the number of downloads in the first week of our episode on THE ANTI-SOCIAL PERSONALITY, this is a hot topic! I hope this episode on the attributes of the SOCIAL PERSONALITY is at least as popular, because, frankly, this one is even more important for your success and expansion, not to mention the success of this current civilization.

Episode 10, Volume 5: THE ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY

Sun, 07 Apr 2024 22:47:26 -0400

When you consider all the technical skills you have already learned from L. Ron Hubbard and any skills you may learn from him on the future, which do you think he considered to rank the highest? This episode could be the make-break in your business, and even in your life.

REVIEW EPISODE: THE ORG BOARD PART 2, HOW TO HAVE A LIFE

Sun, 31 Mar 2024 20:03:00 -0400

One more episode on the Org Board before we move on. This episode simplifies the subject of organization overall and is absolutely critical to any of you who are coping and having a rough time figuring out how have a business and a have a life at the same time. Do you want a LIFE? Listen to this episode.

REVIEW EPISODE: THE ORGANIZING BOARD PART 1

Sun, 24 Mar 2024 21:17:02 -0400

You are not going to get very far with the Hubbard management system without an ORGANIZING BOARD, or what we familiarly call “The Org Board”. There is probably no single tool that solves more problems for an entrepreneur than this one. Hiring, training, promotion, production, expansion, even statistical management and conditions, depend on you working out your org board correctly. So lets review our episodes on this subject and put them all together.

Episode 9, Volume 5: Hiring Part 2

Sun, 17 Mar 2024 22:56:46 -0400

It is very, very possible that your problem with HIRING is actually NOT HIRING!! If you skip this one, you will continue to be baffled not only how come it is so difficult for you to hire effectively. It also explains the company that can’t seem to get past one or two employees. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ONE!!

Episode 8, Volume 5: HIRING PART 1

Sun, 10 Mar 2024 23:01:48 -0400

Ask any entrepreneur what areas of business they are having difficulty with, and the subject of hiring is going to come up on top or in the top three, especially in these past few years. Well, you don’t need to be the effect of that. Like most things, Mr. Hubbard breaks hiring down into simplicities. We are going to devote two or three episodes to this subject, starting with this one.

REVIEW EPISODE: WHAT MAKES PEOPLE TICK?

Sun, 03 Mar 2024 20:00:00 -0500

We have been doing a series of episodes on dealing with people; a pretty important subject when we are talking about groups and building organizations. An important question in all this would be: What motivates people? And how do you motivate yourself? Here is a review episode that covers this important subject.

Episode 7, Volume 5: THE TRUTH ABOUT “TOUGH”

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 09:00:19 -0500

Do you have to be tough to be successful? The answer is unequivocally yes. However, there are gross misconceptions about what being tough really means. Find out what L. Ron Hubbard has to say about “tough”.

Review Episode: How to Handle Others

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 20:02:00 -0500

The next few episodes of BusinessWISE are going to be devoted to effectively dealing with others. Let’s start with this review episode as an important foundation to the coming series.

Episode 6, Volume 5: Two Types of PR & the “Dead Agent” Caper

Sun, 11 Feb 2024 22:25:08 -0500

One of the most important things to understand about PR is that it can be used as a defensive weapon and also for offense. But using PR for offense is probably not what you think, and handled incorrectly can BADLY backfire! Better listen to this one.

Episode 5, Volume 5: WHAT YOU ARE NOT TOLD ABOUT PR

Sun, 04 Feb 2024 20:11:23 -0500

PR is one of the most valuable tools you have in achieving success. It is a PR world. If you have big goals, it is unlikely that you will achieve them without expert use of PR. But the subject is booby-trapped, frankly, through a missing ingredient that PRs are not generally taught which can make nitroglycerine safe to handle in comparison!

Review Episode: UNDERSTANDING PUBLIC RELATIONS

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 21:17:03 -0500

This is a review episode. While we try to make every episode of BusinessWISE stand on its own so a listener can benefit from one chosen at random, when going in depth in one aspect of the Hubbard management system, there are fundamentals that should be well understood first. We are devoting several upcoming episodes to the vital subject of PUBLIC RELATIONS. Many think they understand it but don’t. Make sure you do by listening to this episode!

Episode 4, Volume 5: POSTULATE MAGIC PART 2

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 21:07:13 -0500

Last episode we spoke of the power of postulates to create POSITIVE effects, with this episode we go into the NEGATIVE impact of postulates, and the magic super-power you can develop that OVERIDES them!

Episode 3, Volume 5: POSTULATE MAGIC PART 1

Sun, 14 Jan 2024 21:55:24 -0500

If you have been listening to recent episodes you have picked up a thing or two regarding POSTULATES and their impact on YOU, but what is the impact of your postulates on OTHERS? Be prepared to learn a little MAGIC!

Episode 2, Volume 5: REDUCING EFFORT

Sun, 07 Jan 2024 22:48:03 -0500

Episode 1, Volume 5: SPECIAL NEW YEARS EPISODE- A FEW TIPS ON POSTULATES

Mon, 01 Jan 2024 16:33:43 -0500

Well, here we are, at the beginning of a brand-new year! Now is the time when most of us take stock of our dreams; what are our RESOLUTIONS for the future? L. Ron Hubbard was the greatest researcher of them all on the subject of THOUGHT, and since a resolution is ultimately a thought, there is much we can learn from him on this. Let this episode help you along with forming and KEEPING your resolutions this year.

Review Episode: THIRD DYNAMIC POWER, #31 and final episode on the CONDITIONS

Thu, 28 Dec 2023 18:54:23 -0500

This episode completes our series on L. Ron Hubbard’s discovery and development of the CONDITIONS that all things operate in, and the formulas one can take to reliably move from one operating state to the next one higher up. This may be the most important episode in this series, and thus a fitting wrap up to this subject as we close out 2023.

Episode 40, Volume 4: SPECIAL HOLIDAY EPISODE- IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE!

Sun, 24 Dec 2023 20:25:00 -0500

Well, the Yule season in the Northern Hemisphere shares celebration with many of the great civilizing movements on this planet and is generally regarded as a time to remind ourselves of the desirability and magic of peace and goodwill amongst humans. Interestingly, within these concepts and celebrations lies the key to true success and happiness. Let’s take the opportunity to look into this!

Episode 39, Volume 4: FIXING THE VIOLATION OF POWER CHANGE - #30 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 17 Dec 2023 22:11:40 -0500

Though Power Change is the “lazy” formula, and perhaps the easiest of all the Conditions Formulas to do, when violated, and it gets violated OFTEN, one quickly finds oneself in the disastrous nosedive of DANGER! But it can be repaired. Learn how with this episode

Episode 38, Volume 4: How To Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth - #29 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 10 Dec 2023 22:26:24 -0500

Of all the operating states of existence, or CONDITIONS, as Mr. Hubbard describes them, there is a one that is a gift.

Review Episode: THE FORMULA FOR POWER! - #28 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 03 Dec 2023 21:27:42 -0500

We have covered all the earlier conditions and their formulas up to POWER, and we have thoroughly defined it. The time has come to cover the POWER FORMULA so you know what to do when you get there!

Episode 37, Volume 4: A SPECIAL EPISODE FOR AFRICA

Sun, 26 Nov 2023 23:13:24 -0500

Africa is rapidly becoming the CONTINENT OF LIGHT. The changes occurring in Southern Africa will soon impact the world. Out of respect and appreciation for a study group there that has been listening to BusinessWISE we decided to do a special episode for them on SUCCESS, but we hope all listeners will find it useful and interesting.

Review Episode: DEFINING POWER PART 3 - #27 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 19 Nov 2023 20:15:00 -0500

There is one more definition of POWER you need to understand before we move on in this continuing series on Mr. Hubbard’s discovery of the CONDITIONS and their FORMULAS. This is Part 3, so make sure you have covered the earlier two episodes as well before we move on to the POWER FORMULAS. Know well what you are handling, and you will find that POWER is actually quite simple to attain and maintain.

Review Episode: DEFINING POWER PART 2 - #26 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 12 Nov 2023 20:15:17 -0500

There is much to know about POWER. Many who think they understand it best are the first to lose it; their career, their business, or even their lives ruined. You need to understand it thoroughly to attain it and, just as importantly, to maintain it. This episode will connect many dots as you see the relationship between power and several other factors of existence.

Episode 36, Volume 4: LIFE AND POWER - #25 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 05 Nov 2023 22:18:59 -0500

Very soon we will be covering the formulas for the highest operating state there is: the top of the scale of conditions, POWER. But this is a good place to cover a fundamental that applies to POWER in particular and has considerable application to ALL the conditions and their formulas. You can know and apply your formulas pretty well and still have a miss if you skip this important lesson, ESPECIALLY when we are talking about POWER.

Review Episode: DEFINING POWER PART 1 - #24 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 29 Oct 2023 21:37:48 -0400

In our continuing series on Mr. Hubbard’s discovery of the CONDITIONS and their FORMULAS, we arrive at last at the highest operating state there is- POWER! But power is also one of the least understood concepts in the English language, so let’s start by making sure we clearly understand what power IS before we start getting into its formula. It’s going to take a few episodes to cover this important subject properly. Make sure you tune in to all of them.

Review Episode: What To Do When You BLOW IT! - #23 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 22 Oct 2023 21:38:23 -0400

AFFLUENCE is the most dangerous condition there is. When you blow it, it’s not nice. But thankfully there is a way to fix a BROKEN AFFLUENCE. You are supposed to be able to learn from your mistakes, aren’t you? Well, this episode will show you exactly how.

Episode 35, Volume 4: Ready, Set, ACTION AFFLUENCE! - #22 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 15 Oct 2023 23:03:01 -0400

Before we leave the condition of AFFLUENCE, realize that there is ANOTHER Affluence Formula, and that is the formula for when the affluence is of FORWARD ACTION, not only FINANCE or money. So, if POWER has been eluding you, this could be what you have been missing.

Review Episode: The AFFLUENCE formula - #21 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 08 Oct 2023 22:13:10 -0400

AFFLUENCE! You finally find yourself in affluence. You are one condition away from POWER. But AFFLUENCE is the trickiest of all the conditions formulas, and if you don’t handle it correctly, the ride down can be as painful as the rocket ride up is exhilarating. The route to POWER is through AFFLUENCE, learn it well.

Review Episode: How To Get Into AFFLUENCE - #20 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 01 Oct 2023 20:10:00 -0400

Would you like to know how to get into AFFLUENCE quickly and easily, without sweat? Sorry, wrong podcast. There seems to be a bunch of guys out there who claim they can teach you that. But what you can learn in this episode is a SUREFIRE way to get there, for real. And it doesn’t have to take a long time. It is more a function of ACTION than it is of TIME, anyway! Just do this formula, and you’ll get there soon enough!

Episode 34, Volume 4: AWARENESS- A SPECIAL EPISODE and #19 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 24 Sep 2023 22:27:14 -0400

Before we leave the condition of NORMAL OPERATION, there is something that is very, very important for you to understand fully, and it is something that has important application to ALL of the Conditions, as well as to life and your own prosperity and happiness. This is of such importance we have designated this as a SPECIAL EPISODE. Don’t skip it!!

Review Episode: If NORMAL is so easy, how’d we mess it up?- #18 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 17 Sep 2023 21:38:18 -0400

We arrive at last at the condition of NORMAL OPERATION; the comfortable condition with the “easy” formula. Well, yes, the condition is comfortable, and the steps of the formula ARE simple, but the NORMAL FORMULA is not just easy to do, it is easy to violate. Learn all about it in this week’s episode.

Episode 33, Volume 4: What Do You Mean Produce? -# 17 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 10 Sep 2023 22:24:43 -0400

While most of us are familiar with the EMERGENCY FORMULA, there are a couple of points that should be expounded on. These points mean the difference between the coming out of EMERGENCY for real and arriving at the comfortable (at last) condition of NORMAL OPERATION or NOT!

Review Episode: How to Handle EMERGENCY- #16 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 03 Sep 2023 20:15:00 -0400

Just about anyone who has studied the Hubbard Management System is familiar with the EMERGENCY CONDITION and its FORMULA, and they usually think they know it. But listen to this episode because there is a point or two that gets commonly missed that can keep you from getting all the way through that condition and comfortably into NORMAL OPERATION, the next condition up. You’re almost there!

Review Episode: One More Word on DANGER- The 1D Formula - #15 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 27 Aug 2023 21:20:23 -0400

This is our third episode on DANGER in our continuing series on the CONDITIONS and their FORMULAS. Covering Danger would not be complete without going over what Mr. Hubbard calls the FIRST DYNAMIC DANGER FORMULA; this magical formula as it applies to the INDIVIDUAL who is in a Danger Condition. Make sure you don’t skip this one!

Episode 32, Volume 4: What You Better Know About DANGER - #14 in our series on CONDITIONS

There is a peculiarity about the DANGER CONDITION and its formula that you better know about if you are ever going to make it to POWER! It could also explain the troubles you have been having in forming up your organization or any part of it. Don’t consider you know all about DANGER if you don’t know this!

Review Episode: DEALING WITH DANGER- The Danger Formula - #13 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 13 Aug 2023 20:04:00 -0400

No matter how excited you are as you come out of non-existence with a new position or a new business, you are going to hit the CONDITION of DANGER. That is inevitable and you have probably already experienced this, maybe without realizing it. One can also fall backwards from success into Danger. However you got there, learn to recognize it and the exact steps to get out of it.

Episode 31,Volume 4: NON EX EXPANDED- Stress And Overwork Explained - #12 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 06 Aug 2023 21:16:42 -0400

It is rather interesting that L. Ron Hubbard found that it was necessary to write an EXPANDED version of the Non-Existence formula. There is a reason for this as you will soon discover when you listen to this episode. Stuck in your business? Overworked? In trouble? You are about to find out how come.

Review Episode: NON-EXISTENCE - Living on the Edge - #11 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 30 Jul 2023 21:30:58 -0400

We leave the lower conditions to start on the higher conditions, starting with Non-Existence. But be aware that this operating state you are “living on the edge”, and so are any of your teammates or employees who are in this condition. Misapply the formula, and many people do, you find yourself right back in the lower conditions. It goes for a person and it goes for a business. Pay close attention to this one.

Episode 30 (Revised), Volume 4: LIABILITY- Know Who Your Friends Are- #10 in our series on CONDITIONS

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 22:06:26 -0400

Episode 29, Volume 4: Special 200th Episode - Elements of Success

Sun, 16 Jul 2023 23:10:18 -0400

We interrupt our continuing series on the CONDITIONS with a special “double feature” marking our 200th episode of BusinessWISE!

Episode 28, Volume 4: Hang-Up At Doubt - #10 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 09 Jul 2023 21:59:57 -0400

It would not be cool to leave our discussion on the condition of DOUBT without addressing the possibility that some will HANG UP on Doubt and not be able to come out of the condition despite their efforts to do the steps of the formula. Mr. Hubbard gives two reasons why this can happen. Let’s make sure you know what they are.

Episode 27, Volume 4: Spotting & Assigning Doubt - #9 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 02 Jul 2023 22:40:36 -0400

Maybe you can easily figure out when YOU are in the condition of DOUBT, but can you recognize the condition in others? It is not as straightforward as you might think. But there are telltale indicators, and if you miss them, YOU might end up being the one doing the formula.

Review Episode: Are You in Doubt? - #8 in our series on CONDITIONS

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 20:32:44 -0400

One cannot single out any condition as more important than another; they are all vital to survival and success. But the Doubt Condition and the Doubt Formula have aspects to it that make it very, very valuable in day to day living and many miss this point. Catch the next episode in our continuing series on CONDITIONS.

Episode 26, Volume 4: Your Own Worst Enemy - #7 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 25 Jun 2023 22:13:48 -0400

Episode 25, Volume 4: Know Your Enemy - #6 in our series on CONDITIONS

Tue, 20 Jun 2023 21:02:00 -0400

The Conditions and their Formulas are a scale monitoring success and survival, with one condition leading to the next and the final steps of one formula naturally leading to the first steps of the next. We are tackling these one by one, starting from the lowest and working our way up. In this episode, we discuss the condition of ENEMY and the one step that brings you OUT of that condition and into the next higher one.

Review Episode: What is Basic Purpose?- #5 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 18 Jun 2023 22:11:34 -0400

We come up from treason and approach the condition of ENEMY. This is a condition too many people find themselves in with regards to THEMSELVES, never mind their GROUP. But before we get into it, let’s make sure we are clear on the relationship between Basic Purpose and being YOURSELF!

Episode 24, Volume 4: CONDITIONS-7 things you need to know - #4 in our series on CONDITIONS

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 20:02:00 -0400

In this episode we are going to spell out 7 vital things to know about L. Ron Hubbard’s discovery of the CONDITIONS OF EXISTENCE and the delineation of their FORMULAS; the step-by-step sequence by which one rises into higher and higher states of operation. If you have ever had difficulty with conditions, this episode will sort you out, and it is also an excellent introduction to the subject

Review Episode: Handling TREASON- #3 in our series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 20:00:00 -0400

Ever felt betrayed? If you are following our series on the CONDITIONS and their formulas, you are ready to learn about a condition all too common in today's society, TREASON.

Episode 23, Volume 4: GROUP CONFUSION- #2 in our series on CONDITIONS

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 21:40:53 -0400

Buckle up because we have just launched a sequential series of BusinessWISE episodes featuring L. Ron Hubbard’s discovery and delineation of the CONDITIONS and their FORMULAS! In the last episode we tackled the well-known CONFUSION FORMULA, handling the condition of CONFUSION. Less well known is the Confusion formula for GROUPS. If your group is in this condition, you won’t get very far until you have learned this vital formula!

Review Episode: Handling CONFUSION- The first in a series on CONDITIONS

Sun, 04 Jun 2023 20:02:00 -0400

Listeners have been asking for a series on what L. Ron Hubbard refers to as THE CONDITIONS, the different states of existence that any group or being finds themselves in at any particular moment. Understanding the conditions and the FORMULAS that Mr. Hubbard discovered leads to a steady ascent UPWARDS in these operating states and is critical to your success. Let’s start with the lowest condition there is, CONFUSION, and go upward from there.

Episode 22, Volume 4: Surviving Today’s Uncertain Economy

Sun, 28 May 2023 22:35:03 -0400

On what does your survival in today’s business world depend? It goes without saying that the better you understand and apply the Hubbard management system in your enterprise, the more you will assure your prosperity and expansion. But there is another factor to remember, and so we take this Memorial Day to remind us of it.

Episode 21, Volume 4: How To Build An Elite Organization

Sun, 21 May 2023 22:43:40 -0400

One of the most common questions we ever deal with is “how do we get good staff?”, or not even begging the question but simply stating, “you can’t find good staff!” If you want elite staff, and who doesn’t, you need to have an elite organization. This episode shows you how to build one.

Episode 20, Volume 4: A Tribute To Motherhood

Sun, 14 May 2023 22:24:03 -0400

I recorded this on Mother’s Day, so I think it only fitting we visit the subject of motherhood as it influences our lives, our enterprises, and our world.

Episode 19, Volume 4: More On Happiness

Sun, 07 May 2023 23:09:04 -0400

There are a number of important tie-ins in this episode. A simple article from Mr. Hubbard with so much in it. Would you like to know where staff mutinies, large and small, come from? Would you like to know how come your employees (or your kids) turn around and commit harmful intentional acts? Would you like to know the key to happiness as a leader or business owner? Would you like to know the simple philosophy that will boom your business and raise the morale of you team out the roof? You would? Good, then this is the episode for you.

Episode 18, Volume 4: Art, Management & Postulated Reality

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 22:29:20 -0400

We have all been told at one time or another to “face reality”. But how about we change reality instead? That is the subject of this week’s episode.

Episode 17, Volume 4: How To Stay Out Of Trouble, Bulletproof Series #6

Sun, 23 Apr 2023 22:20:43 -0400

These past several episodes of BusinessWISE have had the purpose to make you bulletproof, in fact we almost called it the “bulletproof series”. This one is designed to teach you how to stay out of trouble. Listen to it and give it a try… let us know how it works for you!

Episode 16, Volume 4: To Communicate Or Not To Communicate

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 22:07:21 -0400

Look at any problem you have in your business, your family, even with yourself, and you will be able to isolate a common denominator to them all. The good news is that the resolution to these problems all have a very simple starting point, which you will soon discover for yourself.

Episode 15, Volume 4: Action-Reaction- A Golden Rule For Success

Sun, 09 Apr 2023 22:41:34 -0400

The intent behind every episode of BusinessWISE is to give our listeners something they can USE immediately to bring about expansion and success. Well, this might be one of the simplest “rules” we have ever relayed to you, but none have been more powerful. Try it for a week and see what happens!

Episode 14, Volume 4: Four Things you MUST Know About Products

Sun, 02 Apr 2023 20:04:00 -0400

There are FOUR CATEGORIES of products. Lack of knowledge of these four categories causes their neglect, and their neglect tells you all you need to know about any difficulties you are having with your business. See if you can work out which ones are the trouble spots for you!

Episode 13, Volume 4: Be Bulletproof

Sun, 26 Mar 2023 22:33:33 -0400

Crazy world right now, isn’t it? Lockdowns, inflation, compromised media, crime, drug issues, environmental issues, a gloomy prospect on the economy with banks failing, and what’s next? You! You as a stable point of survival and expansion! You bulletproof, armed and armored with the know-how of prosperity and ethics in the face of whatever comes. Here is one of the most fundamental lessons in that journey to invincibility.

Episode 12, Volume 4: The Clue to Happiness

Sun, 19 Mar 2023 23:07:12 -0400

Everyone is looking for it, but how many find it? Happiness. Maybe you think this is one you can skip. Who needs a talk about happiness? What’s that got to do with running my business better? You’ll see. This one isn’t just a game changer, it’s a life changer.

Episode 11, Volume 4: The Greatest Gift

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 22:28:50 -0400

What would constitute the greatest gift you ever received? I am sure you can think of many things. What would you say if you were told that the greatest gift of them all has already been given to you? What would you say if you were told that this gift is sitting quietly on a shelf, within reach, and all you need to do is recognize and accept it? That would be pretty good news, don’t you think? Well, listen to this episode and discover that it's all yours.

Episode 10, Volume 4: Wrapping Up The Admin Scale- Admin Scale Part 22

Sun, 05 Mar 2023 22:41:07 -0500

We have covered L. Ron Hubbard’s ADMINISTRATIVE SCALE OF IMPORTANCES, the ADMIN SCALE, one of the most important and embracive tools in the Hubbard management system, thoroughly over 21 episodes. It is time to conclude this series with a summary and some final words on the subject.

Episode 9, Volume 4: Connecting Products, Purpose & Ideal Scenes - Admin Scale Part 21

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 23:31:37 -0500

Here we are on the last level of the Admin Scale, a level that stands alone and is highly unique from the others, but is, of course, tightly related. You can come all the way down the Admin Scale doing just beautifully and blow it entirely at VALUABLE FINAL PRODUCTS. Find out why and how to avoid this by understanding fully its relationship to the other levels.

REVIEW EPISODE: Your Product

Sun, 26 Feb 2023 20:08:00 -0500

We now come to the final level of the LRH Admin Scale- Valuable Final Products. The word “product” is so important that the third episode in the history of BusinessWISE was devoted to its definition, which most members actually have slightly wrong. Maybe only slightly wrong, but wrong enough to wreck their business! Before we publish a fresh episode on Valuable Final Products, you should review this one.

Episode 8, Volume 4: Ideal Scenes And Stats - Admin Scale Part 20

Sun, 19 Feb 2023 22:54:23 -0500

There are no two levels of the Admin Scale more integral to each other than STATISTICS and IDEAL SCENES. Wrongly work out a statistic for an activity and it will not only make your Ideal Scene almost impossible to attain, but it will also drive you in the opposite direction! No matter how far you have come with your own admin scale, you will be lost without the information in this episode.

Episode 7, Volume 4: Management By Stats - Admin Scale Part 19

Sun, 12 Feb 2023 22:43:43 -0500

There are a lot of wrong ways to manage. Has anyone noticed this? Look around and one can easily spot mismanagement on a small scale, like a family or small business, all the way to a huge scale like the governance of countries. There is a right way to manage, and it's pretty simple. Learn about it in this episode.

Episode 6, Volume 4: Ideal Scenes - Admin Scale Part 18

Sun, 05 Feb 2023 22:24:26 -0500

We come to a level of the Admin Scale, IDEAL SCENES, that, amongst other things, has been made complex to serve those with vicious agendas. You will learn about that. In fact, it is a simple and beautiful level vital to one’s ability to analyze and correct one’s group or any part of a group; a family, a society, or even oneself.

Episode 5, Volume 4: Orders VS Arbitraries - Admin Scale Part 17

Sun, 29 Jan 2023 23:34:20 -0500

We are continuing our series on L. Ron Hubbard’s discovery and delineation of the Admin Scale with our second episode on ORDERS. However, we are also going to introduce you to a word that is not broadly known even amongst those quite familiar with the Hubbard management system, but it is a concept that is just as critical to your success as more familiar terms like “statistics” and “org boards”. Be sure to give it a listen.

REVIEW EPISODE: The Twelve Points of Giving an Order

Thu, 26 Jan 2023 16:59:12 -0500

Is there a technology for issuing an order? Really? You mean there is more to it than just cutting loose when you feel like it and getting sulking looks and non-compliance in return, or cheerful, blank “Yessir’s” that don’t result in anything, or “compliances” to what was ordered that are not what was asked for? Yes, there is something to this subject. We counted up twelve points from Mr. Hubbard, then found a bonus one at the end. Enjoy!

Episode 4, Volume 4: Coping With “Squad Mentality”- Admin Scale Part 16

Sun, 22 Jan 2023 23:40:26 -0500

The thing you want, let’s presume, is a bright, lively, smooth-running team with initiative shining and production flowing. What you don’t want is a dull group with a “squad mentality” with everyone waiting for orders. ORDERS is probably the most USED level of the ADMIN SCALE and possibly the LEAST understood.

Episode 3, Volume 4: The Project Drill - Admin Scale Part 15

Sun, 15 Jan 2023 22:08:56 -0500

Learning is not just about listening, it’s about applying. To apply successfully, one must practice. Welcome to the first episode of its kind in BusinessWISE, and may well be a first in podcasting history. This is a critical episode in learning to USE programs and projects to achieve your goals. Let us know how you do with it. We are very interested. If it’s a hit, we will do more like this.

Episode 2, Volume 4: The Project’s The Thing (Shakespeare) - Admin Scale Part 14

Sun, 08 Jan 2023 22:22:08 -0500

You have come a long way if you have come this far in your study of the ADMIN SCALE. If you have been applying what you are learning, it is certain that your life is improving and your prosperity increasing. But you will still step into a tangle if you don’t understand what a PROJECT is, how it relates to the rest of the scale, and how to use it to achieve your goals.

Episode 1, Volume 4: Special Holiday Episode - New Year, New Ideas, New Hope

Sun, 01 Jan 2023 21:29:33 -0500

We are entering a new year. Many of you will take this opportunity to make resolutions, but many will not keep them. There’s no reason you shouldn’t, but you must understand that a resolution is fundamentally an idea. If you can master the IDEA, you can master ALL. Listen to this episode and start mastering the IDEA.

Episode 52, Volume 3: Special Holiday Episode- The Greatest Secret!

Sun, 25 Dec 2022 20:10:00 -0500

We interrupt our series on the Administrative Scale of Importances to bring you a special episode of BusinessWISE to impart to you not only a seasonally appropriate message but what L. Ron Hubbard has defined as possibly the greatest secret in this universe. Feel free to leave us your comments and your own holiday message, and may the light of love and truth grace your days during this special time and into a glorious future!

Episode 51, Volume 3: The Six Points Of Complete Planning- Admin Scale Part 13

Sun, 18 Dec 2022 21:30:06 -0500

We have been covering PROGRAMMING, the fifth level of the admin scale, over the past three episodes, but there is no way we can move on from programming without covering these 6 vital points. While we have PLANNING in the title, this is actually our last episode on PROGRAMS and should put it all together for you. Don’t skip this one!

Episode 50, Volume 3: What You Need To Know About Targets- Admin Scale Part 12

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 21:16:12 -0500

Programs. Members sometimes look upon them with a touch of disdain. So orderly! So disciplined! Sounds like a lot of work! Do I really need programs? Not really, if you want your business, your career, or your life to be a meandering mess and your goals only vaguely achieved, I wouldn’t bother with programs. On the other hand, if you are serious about attaining your goals and making your dreams a reality, programs and targets could easily become a way of life!

Episode 49, Volume 3: The 12 Rules Of Programming- Admin Scale Part 11

Sun, 04 Dec 2022 21:14:01 -0500

Programming is the bridge between planning and action. You can dream, you can plan, but if things don’t get laid out in detail and step by step, the indefinite quality of what you are doing is going to lead to indefinite results. So, know your programming! We are going to do a couple more episodes on this subject, starting with these 12 rules.

Episode 48, Volume 3: A Definite Definition Of Cause- Admin Scale Part 10

Sun, 27 Nov 2022 22:03:12 -0500

With this next level of the ADMINISTRATIVE SCALE OF IMPORTANCE or Admin Scale we reach the threshold of ACTION and DOINGNESS. Before we dig in on the level of PROGRAMS let’s make sure we have cleared up this vital subject of CAUSE; what it is in the context of the Admin Scale as well as a surefire technique to becoming MORE cause!

Episode 47, Volume 3: Strategic Planning Checklist- Admin Scale Part 9

Sun, 20 Nov 2022 22:20:00 -0500

Once you have established GOALS, you know where you want to go. Once you have established the PURPOSES you have the why’s and wherefores of the activities needed to get you there, and with POLICY you have set the workable guidelines. But you still need to figure out how to get there! If you don’t have that you don’t have much. You still need a roadmap, and that is your PLANNING, the fourth level of Mr. Hubbard’s ADMIN SCALE. This is our final episode on planning and the most detailed. You may have to listen more than once.

Episode 46, Volume 3: Strategic Planning Simplified- Admin Scale Part 8

Sun, 13 Nov 2022 22:29:46 -0500

Let’s say you are a one-man band, or you are simply planning out your own career, or you have a small business with just a half-dozen employees. Do you need such a “high-flown” concept as a STRATEGIC PLAN? Isn’t that just for big corporations or governments? Nope. If you have GOALS, if you have PURPOSES, you need a strategic plan if you want to get there, period! But don’t get the idea you need three years of college to create one, or have to hire a specialist to lay one out for you. It’s much simpler than you think!

Episode 45, Volume 3: The Basics Of Successful Planning- Admin Scale Part 7

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 08:41:08 -0500

I guess one could say that “planning” is just something humans do, and everyone sort of instinctively knows or learns how to do it. You think so? Well, maybe everyone does it but judging from the number of failed plans around, I don’t know that they do it very well. Don’t be one of the casualties! Learn the basics of successful planning!

Episode 44, Volume 3: Clearing A Group- Admin Scale Part 6

Sun, 30 Oct 2022 22:39:07 -0400

All episodes of BusinessWISE are intended to stand on their own, and this one is no exception. Optimally, though, listen to Episode 43, Volume 3, our last week episode entitled POLICY V.S. COUNTER-POLICY, and then listen to this one. But if your group is verging on the chaotic or just plain inefficient and disorganized, and there are a lot of dropped balls around, then this is the episode for you!

Episode 43, Volume 3: Policy Vs Counter-Policy- Admin Scale Part 5

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 00:28:17 -0400

Believe it or not, the joy, liveliness and productivity of your group stems from sound, authorized policy, and the source of insanity in your group stems from illegally set, random, counter-policy. Sounds good, but as you read this, you might wonder what the heck we’re really talking about. You are about to dig into one of the most important subjects in all of management, POLICY!

Episode 42, Volume 3: Failed Purposes- Admin Scale Part 4

Sun, 16 Oct 2022 22:57:57 -0400

This is episode four of our series on L. Ron Hubbard’s phenomenal discovery and delineation of the ADMIN SCALE. In the last episode, we discussed PURPOSES, but no discussion on that subject would be complete without describing and providing the solution for FAILED PURPOSES. If you want to achieve anything worthwhile, you better learn how to deal with FAILED purposes, or you probably won’t get there.

Episode 41, Volume 3: Clarity Of Purpose- Admin Scale Part 3

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 21:43:39 -0400

This is our third episode on Mr. Hubbard’s ADMINISTRATIVE SCALE OF IMPORTANCES, and in this one we tackle the all-important subject of PURPOSES- CLARIFICATION OF. This is a hidden factor that means the difference between success and failure for any of your executives or employees, and even for your entire organization. Don’t underestimate it!

Episode 40, Volume 3: Goals And Spheres Of Action- Admin Scale Part 2

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 20:35:39 -0400

This is our second episode on the ADMIN SCALE. We start with the first in sequence and the MOST IMPORTANT level of the scale; the level of goals and goal making. This point is make or break as far as your dreams are concerned. It’s the difference between you having a thriving, booming, expanding business and a game that is YOUR creation or being anchored to what may have started as a dream but is now more of a “way to make a living” and even a trap, for you and all concerned.

Episode 39, Volume 3: The Admin Scale - Part 1

Sun, 25 Sep 2022 20:35:41 -0400

No topic has been more requested than an episode on L. Ron Hubbard’s famous “Administrative Scale of Importances”, or “Admin Scale” for short. I can’t blame you for that, one could almost describe it as the backbone of the Hubbard management system! But it is a pretty big subject, so we are going to have to cover it in sections. Here is Part One!

Episode 38, Volume 3: What is an Entrepreneur?

Sun, 18 Sep 2022 21:33:40 -0400

If you have been listening to BusinessWISE, you are probably aware that we put a lot of emphasis on the definition of terms. One term you better fully understand is the word “entrepreneur”, especially if you are or are trying to be one. You’re about to discover that there is more to this than you thought. In this episode you will learn Mr. Hubbard’s thoughts on the entrepreneur, and how they are the only secure ones in today’s society.

Episode 37, Volume 3: Counting Gross Income- A New Income Booster

Sun, 11 Sep 2022 21:37:32 -0400

Income is of intense interest to most members, isn’t it? So much so that those BusinessWISE episodes that focus on income we make sure to designate as INCOME BOOSTERS so you can easily dig them out of the archives. This week’s episode is certainly an income booster, and one could almost describe it as a vital one that underlies all others. Give it a listen and you will find out why.

Episode 36, Volume 3: Another Four Letter Word- A Labor Day Special

Sun, 04 Sep 2022 21:00:56 -0400

Every now and again we are forced to speak to you in expletives. I’m sorry, there is just no way around this one. We have chosen this celebration of Labor Day to discuss a critical subject using language that at the very least can be counted on to get a few disapproving looks. Too bad. In for a penny, in for a pound, we like to say around here. Let’s see how you do with it!

Episode 35, Volume 3: The Criminal Mind

Sun, 28 Aug 2022 20:03:00 -0400

This is the episode l wish we didn’t have to do, but we do. If you are going to build and administer an organization, or many organizations, if you are going to lead in any quarter of society, or if you just want to get along in life, you better know about the criminal mind. Listen to this episode as though your life depends on it, because it might.

Episode 34, Volume 3: The Most Basic Fundamental Of Them All

Sun, 21 Aug 2022 20:02:00 -0400

Almost any real professional will tell you the same thing: high-level skill is acquired only after one masters the fundamentals of the subject. But Mr. Hubbard discovered a fundamental that underlies all the rest. Start with this one, and there is nothing you can’t handle.

Episode 33, Volume 3: Executive Errors and Answers

Sun, 14 Aug 2022 20:05:00 -0400

How many great executives do you know? Are you one of them? Are you competent at MAKING a great executive? If you’re not, you may be counting on prayer or resigning yourself to a life of being “irreplaceable” in your own business. No need, there are simplicities in this subject. Learn some of them in this episode.

Episode 32, Volume 3: The 3 Temptations That Lead To Disaster

Sun, 07 Aug 2022 20:04:00 -0400

You have been tempted, I am pretty sure, by one or more of three things that if you go there, you are looking at a painful demise for your business and your dreams. They may come from the devil, they may come from somewhere else, but you better know and know how to deal with them if you want to achieve success!

Episode 31, Volume 3: What You Need But Don’t Want To Hear About

Sun, 31 Jul 2022 20:10:19 -0400

The number of downloads per episode is an interesting survey of what you, our listeners, want to hear about. There are reliable topics, like marketing and finance, that we can pretty much count on being a hit. This week’s episode is not one of those topics. But you know what? YOU NEED THIS TOPIC WAY MORE THAN YOU THINK!! So much so that we are talking about it anyway. Let us know if you dig it!

Episode 30, Volume 3: Confront, Indicators And Ethics

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 20:09:00 -0400

How successful would you be if you could predict the future? What if you could know about a calamity that will befall you before it happened so that you could prevent it, or recognize an opportunity that will reward you, and take advantage of it? You can. Listen to this episode.

BONUS EPISODE- BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND: How to Deal with Complexity

Sun, 24 Jul 2022 21:05:11 -0400

This episode was issued as one of the first BusinessWISE podcasts in 2020, right at the start of the lockdowns. Feedback on this one was huge as member after member wrote in, thanking us for putting some very important stable data there for them in a time of chaos.

Sun, 24 Apr 2022 21:45:43 -0400

Episode 12, Volume 3: Truth & Morale

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 21:14:08 -0400

Morale is a grossly misunderstood and undervalued subject in the business world.

But the good news is that they are EASILY handled!

Episode 48, Volume 2: Leadership

Sun, 28 Nov 2021 20:27:48 -0500

We have not given anywhere near enough attention to the subject of LEADERSHIP. If you are building any kind of an organization, you are going to need people to build it with, and if you have people answering to you, you better know how to lead.

How do you pull a team together that is going to work hard and effectively at the tough targets you set for them so that your group can expand and prosper?

Episode 29, Volume 2: Confidence

Sun, 18 Jul 2021 21:05:08 -0400

One of the most admired and sought-after qualities in a person is CONFIDENCE. We admire it tremendously when it is genuine and sincere. People will pay a small fortune to acquire more of it. It comes up when they talk to groups, or attempt a sale, or decide to lead, or talk to a person of the opposite sex. It’s great when you have it, but can you set out to acquire it? Yes, if you understand what makes up confidence you can develop it in yourself and others. Listen to this week’s episode to learn how.

Episode 25, Volume 2: The Org Board Simplified

Sun, 20 Jun 2021 20:34:05 -0400

The backbone of the Hubbard management system is the Organizing (Org) Board, and too many get stuck on it.

Sun, 02 May 2021 21:12:47 -0400

The last four episodes have been a series discussing the subject of Public Relations, and in the last three we have been focusing on its “dark side”, Black Propaganda.

Sun, 04 Apr 2021 21:26:53 -0400

Episode 7, Volume 2: Executive Misconceptions

Sun, 14 Feb 2021 19:14:56 -0500

No situation is more prevalent amongst the WISE membership than failures as an executive. An ambitious and smart entrepreneur can make a lot of things “go right” but still fall short of building a true group that supports them in their goals or in their life. To some degree they end up “trapped” by their own creation. This is actually pretty easy to resolve but starts with fully understanding what an executive IS and clearing up some common misconceptions.

Episode 4, Volume 2: Senior Data in Handling Personnel

Sun, 24 Jan 2021 21:32:29 -0500

Episode 60, Volume 1: Trust & Betrayal

Sun, 20 Dec 2020 21:00:28 -0500

He has trust issues, or she has trust issues. We hear this. Betrayal- something we have all experienced at one point or another and swear we will learn a lesson from, and seldom do.
