On this week’s episode, I talk about the business that my son, Austin, started based on lessons he learned in the garden.
I often ask people what they would do with their lives if money were no object, and then what value that activity has for other people.
One of the most important lessons people who want to make money need to learn is that they must adopt the mindset of wanting to solve some kind of problem.
In honor of Austin’s company’s recent success, we’re offering listeners of In The Loop HALF off the regular price of a custom citrus tree maintenance plan until May 31st. No matter where you live—Minnesota…Maine…Manitoba—you can grow your own citrus tree at home…in a pot! Want a great Mother’s Day gift? A fun and unusual family project? Do you like fresh navel oranges, Meyer lemons, or Ruby Red grapefruit? For just $24.50, Austin will customize a step-by-step plan that includes photographs detailing exactly how you can produce the citrus fruit you want by growing citrus trees in pots! Simply email Austin@SportyCitrus.com and tell him where you live and what kind of citrus you’d like to grow. Be sure to put “In The Loop” in the subject line and Austin will get back to you shortly!

On this week’s episode, I answer a listener question about balancing the items in your life and how to know when you’ve taken on too much.
Before we get into this week’s episode I wanted to say a few things about my new children’s’ book Henry Hodges Needs a Friend.
I don’t think there is anyone who has accomplished anything great that didn’t feel like they’ve taken on a little too much.
When you find yourself dropping the ball on things you’re committed to, then you may be taking on too much.

On this week’s episode, I answer a listener question on how to handle the pressure of people watching and looking up to you.
People watching you and looking up to you are two different things.
I talk to a lot of leaders about the fact that people are watching.
What do I do to keep my batteries charged?
