Benj Miller
About this episode

Sure… you can fix the issue now. OR, you can fix it forever. In today’s episode of System and Soul, Benj Miller and (drum roll…) Chris White are back to chat with speaker, author, and expert EOS implementor, Ted Bradshaw about working on your business as opposed to working in your business. 


Why shouldn’t you miss this episode? Because you’ll also learn about creating a personal operating system, and how to leverage AI. If this is not the most relevant conversation you need to hear right now, are you even an entrepreneur? [Disembodied cackle]. Here we go…

Start your day with clarity! As leaders, we have countless things on our mind: things we need to do, things we’re not doing, problems we need to solve, new exciting ideas––all jotted down in that worn out mental notebook we keep in our heads. 

But, sometimes leaders and entrepreneurs simply need to step away from the mental clutter––sometimes we don’t need the notebook, we just need a sticky note––a simple reminder along the way to help us gain clarity and control of our business. 


That’s why we created a new FREE resource called The 261. As you may know, there are 261 work days in the calendar year. So, we have mapped out the entire year with daily micro thoughts and micro actions––sticky notes––to help keep the ball moving forward in your personal life as a leader and for the sake of your business.


If you want to start your day with clarity and receive a short, helpful thought to jumpstart your leadership, please go to The261.com and sign up!
