924 Penny Zenker: Focus on Feedback

The Reset Mindset: How to Take Back Time and Reach Your Goals Faster

In a world overflowing with distractions and an overwhelming abundance of information, entrepreneurial success is about mastering focus.

Easier said than done.

Think about it: First it was all you, all the time, doing all the things, as a founder with an idea and a dream. As you grew your idea into the earliest stages of a business, you likely got used to doing it all, and after a while, as you started building your team and your business grew, it became harder to know where to best focus your efforts—and hard too to relinquish control. And with these common growth pains likely came overwhelm and burnout.

Penny Zenker is known as the “focusologist”—leveraging the many lessons learned over the years as a serial entrepreneur and former C-Suite executive of a global top five market research company. Penny, also a sought-after speaker and bestselling author, helps entrepreneurs and executives at firms large and small, including Deloitte, Pfizer, SAP and Samsung find focus and alignment to solve complex problems and accelerate business growth.

Over the past three decades, Penny Zenker has built and sold multiple multimillion-dollar companies—including the award-winning tech firm Smart Moves she founded and sold to a French company. Penny is also a Tony Robbins Business Coach helping companies double and triple businesses and her TEDx, “The Energy of Thought,” has had over 1 million views worldwide.

Today she shares how her own personal challenges and triumphs led her to create supportive structures and systems that now help entrepreneurs get aligned, adaptable, and yes, focused on what assures growth and success.

🔑Key Takeaways🔑

👓💬Focus on Feedback: Many things demand your focus in business, but the most important focus is on feedback from your customers, your team, and your numbers and data to create an iterative loop for growth.

🧠✨The Reset Mindset: Learn the power of dynamic reassessment, constantly checking in with yourself and your team to ensure you’re focused on what truly matters. Business environments are ever-changing, and staying adaptable is the secret to your success.

How to Achieve more with less:

😅💼 The Paradox of Control: Why the more you try to control, the less control you have. Delegating authority along with responsibility builds trust, empowers your team, and fosters a culture of creativity and ownership.

🔍🤝 The Power of Dynamic Reassessment: Penny emphasizes the importance of constantly checking in to ensure you’re focused on what truly matters. Business environments are ever-changing, and staying adaptable can significantly impact success.

🧠 💡 The Energy of Thought: Mindset can either limit or propel us. Approaching challenges and navigating change with a growth mindset opens up opportunities that we might not have considered possible, and enables you to shift focus as necessary.
