Paul Mercer, serial entrepreneur and conqueror of personal medical and business challenges, sincerely believes that a large part of the secret in founding and growing a successful business lies in the thinking. The crystalized vision, the strategy (both financial and operational), competitive and market strategy and planning; clear forward picture of what the business will look like in 5, 10 and more years into the future.
Growth then occurs through passion and the confidence to deliver. Part of the secret sauce in his business is the education that the Portable Power Technology team provides to customers and prospects. For large clients they have become an extension of the R&D or technical department having built deep loyalty, and endeavoring to continually enhance knowledge in the market.
Passion drives success for the entire team and the customers, and the confidence to deliver is founded in a good strategy, plans, cash availability, and fantastic people. Each accomplishment or hurdle overcome builds confidence and enhanced competence to handle the next one, which in turn feeds resilience and injects infectious joy.
Seeing a potential future in community based energy storage and greener lifestyles, as well as ongoing explosion in portable power needs, Paul believes the future is exciting. Solving the challenge of achieving greater energy storage to feed more powerful loads, employing new minerals for onboard storage without taking away from the range of the vehicle, and developing increasingly creative applications will continue to engage his niche and potential.

Bryan Clayton used many of the lessons learned in his first business to grow the second, but he did find that the nature of the business has a big impact on how you achieve success. It was difficult to switch from growing a lawn care business to building a technology business because a tech business is mostly inventing something new; never seen or used before.
One of the secrets to growing your business is to focus on one level at a time, and look to gain knowledge or experience from multiple sources in order to build your own ability. Progressively try to move towards working more on your business than in it, but be patient because the early years are a challenge. Success in a technology business can be developed through rapidly releasing a first product, which probably embarrasses the creators but delights the small customer base you have, and using the valuable feedback received to develop a product that the market truly wants.
Employing his superpower â consistency â made Bryan show up every day and persevere on the one or two things his business was working on to get to the next milestone. By doing it over and over, enthusiastically, until successful GreenPal has grown large, and yet Bryan feels they are only getting started. Bryan counsels to stay enthusiastic as you pursue each milestone, do not get side tracked through the highs and lows, and for those who feel they have missed their opportunity in technology â remember what Marc Andreessen thought about his opportunities in technology!

Purush Cannane creatively combined his engineering skill, passion for solving environmental problems, and his drive to help vulnerable communities when he founded Greenii to create paper bags from waste paper. Avoiding post-consumer paper in order to bypass the need for additional environmentally unfriendly chemicals and processes, he sources high quality paper, offers employment to recently immigrated women, and has now sold thousands of carrier bags in Canada and the USA to replace single-use plastic bags.
Not stopping yet, Purush has gone on to invent equipment to facilitate growth in production volumes, and is expanding into box packaging as well. While handmade bags may continue to form a part of the product offering, it is the raw materials used that ensures bags will always remain unique. He even affords customers the opportunity to convert their unused, expired marketing materials and paper products into new packaging products for use by themselves or another environmentally conscious and creative business.

Thinking and questioning originated in Carol Sanfordâs childhood; through influences from indigenous, white supremacist, and even fundamentalist Christian customs and beliefs. How we are in, and view, the world drives our engagement and impact. From the contradictory, perhaps clashing, cultural influences Carol developed a drive to think, question, and write.
Influenced also by studying and observing the success of basketball coach Phil Jacksonâs model that cultivated role models and excellence through indirect work Carol wrote her latest, sixth book, Indirect Work. She seeks to stimulate thinking and develop inquiry; to encourage readers to overcome paradigms, to escape the chains and shadows (as described by Plato). Thinking not about the book content as a template or instruction, but about the influence on the reader - their own opinions about what is raised in the book, how they can argue with that content, and work to form their own opinions and ideas. Then test them.
Learning is as much about how one engages with new information and experience as it is about the information itself. Carol encourages listeners and readers neither to accept nor reject anything she, or anyone else, says or demonstrates without first working it through with their own experience, reflection, and disagreements. Society needs to stimulate its own enquiring mind and then develop a methodology of learning to think.

Darby Vannier would never have imagined his career could have taken him through human resources, operations management, coaching and so much more. He certainly never dreamed the experience could be gained in industries as diverse as movie theatres, print and copy, and even alpaca livestock.
Through his diverse experience Darby observed effective and ineffective business leaders. People are naturally more inclined to be either a manager or visionary but, as further explored in his book âThe Indispensable Leaderâ, the two are never mutually exclusive. Most people are naturally stronger in one than the other, but the best leaders strive to have a mix of the best characteristics from each and to play down or let go all less desirable characteristics. Indispensable Leaders exhibit traits within the intersection on a Venn diagram, having pulled in desirable and let go undesirable traits and tendencies of both visionaries and leaders.
Becoming indispensable requires active effort â observation of others with characteristics you need, surrounding yourself with good people to provide honest feedback while you develop strengths and eliminate weaknesses, and intentionally changing habits that need to go or be learned. Progressively moving through unconscious to conscious incompetence, and on to conscious competence to attain unconscious competence of the indispensable characteristics.
It is necessary to guard against the inclination, under stress, to revert to your natural tendency. Lean on strong trusting relationships to help you âsee and correctâ, and manage excessive stress by controlling what you can control and letting go what you cannot. As a leader it is your task to encourage and coach people to develop their indispensable leader characteristics; be aware of your own impact and role as you shift someoneâs career.

Devin Durrant believes talent, drive and having the right coaching helped him to achieve his childhood dream of playing in the NBA. But a year later he was cut and this was what allowed him to start his real lifeâs work - adding value to real estate, and lives.
Well grounded, supported, challenged and encouraged in his youth provided a foundation to call on in order to reassess, stretch and grow through the difficult time. He leaned on what was important and valued in his life, used values learned in athletics, and applied them in life.
His work has proved that by putting more focus and effort into your personal values, as they impact or intersect the people and things you value, you can create increasing delta to improve life and experience for all. This v-effect is achieved using the simple process described during our conversation.

Julie Broad harnessed her entrepreneurial fabric to succeed in real estate investing even when circumstances were not idea, and then told the stories in a self-published overall #1 bestseller.
That experience now makes the road smoother for other self-published non-fiction authors. Two wins. The authors keep 100% of their book sale proceeds. And the upfront marketing plan ensures the book is more successful from the start - sells more copies, included in more libraries, nominated for and wins more book awards, and appears on more podcasts and live events.
Julie reminds all aspiring authors that writing a book does not have to be intimidating, but the book must be written for the reader, not the author. Write for the audience, include what they need, and do include stories, case studies, anecdotes that make the book engaging,
Also remember that patience pays in everything â when the book is published it is like a baby and needs to be nurtured and allowed time to grow. Knowing, upfront, what you want to achieve with the book is more likely to ensure it is successful.

Kelly Ruta decided she would not become a statistic after her early life sexual abuse. Instead she works on her own success, and became first a psychotherapist helping adolescents, and then followed her calling into raising the bar in coaching limitless entrepreneurs. Although she works with clients of all genders Kelly has a special focus in helping smart, driven, women entrepreneurs in the interface between mind, emotion and behaviours.
Unlearning social paradigms and gender learned biases that donât allow being the best version of themselves activates the entrepreneurs to lead themselves, their teams and the business to greater impact and revenue. But confronting biases and doing better requires bravery!
Kelly advises that there are two places one can start to identify the subconscious baggage to be removed:
Look at your life and business as a mirror â it will reflect back to you your pain points.Acknowledge where you know better and continue to do the same things or make the same decisions that sabotage you, your team and business, perhaps in revenue, schedule and other ways.Subconscious beliefs will override intellect nine times out of ten and cause immense frustration, spinning wheels, overwork, overwhelm, and burnout. Most people continue investing in strategy and tactics instead of working on themselves.
Your business needs you to be in command, not in control. Do the uncomfortable skill building work now, when it is more manageable. Become responsive, not reactive!

Justin Cochrane applied his knowledge and experience from the investment banking world, specifically in royalties and streaming, to create a vehicle for investors to target focus to creating a net-zero carbon future. The appetite of investors is large and in two years Carbon Streaming Corp has grown from around two-hundred thousand dollars to one-hundred-thirty million in next assets, and more.
Investors are enthusiastic to advance and accelerate carbon-reduction and climate-advancement projects around the world. Justinâs team creates a cycle of benefit - invests capital in the projects, markets the greenhouse gas (GHG) credits and return the proceeds of the credits to further grow the project investments. Achieving climate abatement in the world will take decades but the GHG credits achieve a middle ground on that road.
With a goal to become the largest player in the voluntary carbon market, Carbon Streaming also has strict criteria to be met for investments to qualify for funding and assistance. The projects under consideration are numerous but already Carbon Streamingâs investments are fascinating:
Protecting 6,500 hectares of Indonesian peat swamp from being converted to palm oil, creating a sanctuary for orangutans, providing community assistance, advancing womenâs business, and making available clean power and water.A blue carbon credit project: protecting 22,000 hectares of Mexican mangroves (which absorb up to 10 times the carbon of a terrestrial forest, and hold 75% of that carbon under water) , surrounded by 137,000 hectares of marine ecosystem from shrimp farming and aqua culture.Tune in to hear about:

Having entered the world of mining in part by accident Daniel Major has accumulated impressive experience in the operations, financing and management sides of the industry. Going full circle from uranium in Africa, through platinum, gold, mergers and acquisitions, and even investment banking in parts of Africa, Russia, South America, and Canada he returned to African uranium as CEO of GoviEx.
GoviEx is well positioned to take advantage of the move to clean energy, and specifically nuclear energy, that is more reliable, cleaner, and safer than alternatives. Their first uranium mine, in Niger, West Africa, one of the most significant areas of producing sandstone-hosted uranium deposits in the world, is forecast to begin producing by 2025.
GoviEXâs culture is to add value for all stakeholders and focus on ESG. They utilize a 100% local employment strategy at all of their properties in Niger, Mali and Zambia, and work extensively with the communities they form a part of.
Historically investors have derived the largest return when a mineral investment is acquired, or goes from developer to producer. GoviEx is poised to do exactly that with the development of the mine. The last time the market looked like it does now uranium went to $140 a pound (currently around $46) so do we expect history to repeat itself?

Jim Pakulis has turned his sights from successful corporate growth in the cannabis industry to plant-based protein. Seeing potential for significant growth in this industry, he and his team acquired and took Boosh Plant-Based Brands through initial public offering in 2021.
Booshâs plant-based, gluten-free and non-GMO heat-and-serve bowls and meals, mac & cheese, pate, and non-dairy cheese are well received by the health-conscious, special diets and flexitarians alike. This is just the beginning, this team has their sights set on dominating frozen, refrigerated and shelf stable categories.
Jim believes in keeping the team as small as possible, with a true participation culture. But expansion plans are large - moving to new markets, acquisitions or mergers (one of each already complete in 2021), online delivery, and the food service industry.
The best investments are identified by avoiding emotional decisions based on hype. Use strict metrics, identify an industry with significant upside potential, a growing sector within that industry, and excellent management. These will drive company success and hence growth in the market value.

Max Porterfield started his career with an opportunity to work in global resource company investment, and then gold and uranium, before taking over Callinex Mines. A unique opportunity to explore for minerals in Canada, in areas well served by infrastructure, with no geopolitical risk, and potential to benefit remote communities.
Because government policies are requiring a shift away from hydrocarbons and there are very large infrastructure projects ongoing or planned in the world, the demand for base metals is forecast to increase exponentially. However, minimal investment in new exploration over the past decade means the current mines are becoming end of life and new discovery is urgently required.
Callinex Mines is exploring, with a well-respected technical team and a modern exploration approach, at properties in Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Manitoba. It is however the Manitoba, Flin Flon, property that exposed a rare base metal volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) rainbow deposit in 2021 that will receive most attention through 2022. The development may be urgent as it is in close proximity to an established mine that is due for closure in May 2022. This will eliminate jobs for this remote community, and trigger large reclamation liabilities.
Max counsels that the best business decisions are made with a calm mind; there is significant value in meditation or in the potential that the research in psilocybin will deliver. Maturity has taught him to make decisions with a calm mind and patience rather than in a panic or driven by fear, and to let the world come to him rather than chasing it. Exploration is not for the faint of heart!

Pieter K de Villiers proved in his own business that automation could free up people to perform value added tasks. Macanta CRM evolved to remove the need for a person to perform certain repetitive, but business critical tasks, and in the process complete them more efficiently and consistently. The secret however is to ensure the tool fits the business, with functionality for data manipulation, interconnected relationships, email and SMS, notifications and more.
The no-code Macanta software enables the business to easily create a bespoke CRM with full process and workflow automation without the need for costly, risky, custom software development. Identify the core business flow or delivery object (usually a customer, object, case file, etc.) accurately, and tell the software how the process works. It will create the automation to perform tasks at the correct trigger points.
With the option for granular user permissions, and guaranteed GDPR and security compliance, Macanta also facilitates effective segregation of duties, can be self-serve or supported, and works well for work-from-anywhere teams.
Could every business derive value from utilizing a small amount of time to explore new tools and be curious? Tools that allow constant forward momentum, or improvement? Is the value in âtak(ing) little bets, enjoy(ing) the process and the resultâ as Pieter suggests.
