I Bleed Joe Prim Red I tire of hearing others brag of the fact that - I Bleed 'fill in the blank company' green or I Bleed 'fill in the blank sports franchise' blue. So strong is the desire to belong So strong is the desire to be a part of something bigger than themselves. That they give out their loyalty for little or nothing in return. to a sports franchise to a political party to a brand to a show to a personality This human and very much ancient desire to belong is good. Loyalty to one's team, one's people, one's family has kept us alive for centuries. This blessing of human nature is being used to crush rather than fortify the unaware. I bleed Joe Prim red I answer for me. I am responsible for me. I will do what is best for me. Those who continue reading you understand that what is best for me is what is best for my family and my team. I bleed Joe Prim red and will bleed Joe Prim red for those that I love and those that I value. If I am willing to bleed for them you can only imagine the lengths that I will go to mold, strengthen, and hold them to a standard. Loyalty is not a one-way street. The next time you are asked to do something from those that demand loyalty. Ask yourself, is this what's best for me? Is this what's best for my family? Is this what's best for my team? and If the answer is NO, consider the question resolved. Never allow expected or demanded loyalty to trump the loyalty to those you love. Guard your loyalty, if it's freely given it holds no value. I bleed Joe Prim red. I hope that you bleed 'fill in your name' red too.

I learned only yesterday about the incredible inspirational story of resilience of Sylvester Stallone and the making of Rocky, and how he fought his way up in life by believing on his capabilities, knowing his true on his core, going the distance and doing the extra stuff, ultimately obtaining a giant triumph which until today is reaping benefits. #developyourself #embraceperpetualgrowth #believeinyourself #theultimatesuccessformula https://lnkd.in/dD6RBfNy

Why the Dallas Cowboys are flawed. What can we learn from their failures? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ I find the failures of The Dallas Cowboys absolutely fascinating. The Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise IN THE WORLD. Forbes values them at $9 billion dollars. This is more than the New York Yankees, Golden State Warriors, Real Madrid, Manchester United, LA Lakers, and New England Patriots. However, unlike these teams above… They don’t win. WHAT?! How can this be? How can the most valuable sports franchise in the WORLD not be good at delivering results? That’s like Apple sending you a phone that can’t text. Or Amazon getting your delivery to you in 2 weeks. It makes no damn sense. Let’s break it down from a business perspective: 1️⃣Lack of a Clear Vision Vision is simply this: Values, Purpose, and where the heck we are going. What is the values, purpose, and goals of the Dallas Cowboys? Is the purpose to make tons of money or to win championships? I found their mision on Top Work Places (nothing in their website) “To be the premier sports and entertainment franchise in the world, driven by the intense commitment to win on and off the field.” Notice the words. What comes first? Being the most popular franchise or winning? Telling right? I found their 5 pillars: Look at #1 & #5 1. Buisness: “we understand that this is a business. We are here to drive revenue, lower costs, and be the best, most profitable franchise in the world.” 5. Competition. “We are driven by the intense commitment to win, both on and off the field.” Again, notice which is #1. Which is #5. In 2009, the Cowboys spent $1.5 billion on a stadium for their players to play. In 2016 the Cowboys spent $1.5 billion on a headquarters for them to practice. So, as they continued to lose, their digs got nicer. 🤷♂️ What are we prioritizing? 2️⃣ Zero Accountability. The Owner, CEO, And General Manager of the Cowboys is the same person. Jerry Jones. The owner can do what they want. It’s their team right? The CEO usually drives the business side of things. But the GM, well, the GMs #1 goal is to win. There are only three teams in the NFL who have failed to play in a Championship Game in the last 28 years. The Detroit Lions, Washington Commanders, and yes, The Dallas Cowboys. # of general managers in the last 28 years: Commanders = 8 Lions = 6 Cowboys = 1 Inattention to results? Lack of accountability? How can you fail to deliver results but still keep your job? When accountability is lacking at the very top, it flows down into the rest of the org. 3️⃣ Only One Voice We know that successful orgs have tons of voices and input from all over. The “genius with a thousand helpers” mentality doesn’t work. Its a team. We all speak up. We argue. We debate. Ideas and opinions from everywhere! When there’s only one voice, we fail to arrive at the best answers and we all lose. Just like the Dallas Cowboys.

A solid analysis of the Cowboys business.

Successful camp franchise partners understand that their success goes beyond just the product and marketing. They prioritize developing their teams and working on their business rather than being tied down to a fixed schedule. Their level of grit and work ethic sets them apart Many of our franchise partners have multiple locations, and they are able to manage their business from afar, but that doesn't mean they're not engaged. In fact, most of our successful partners are fully engaged with their team and with us at the support center. To us, that makes for a valuable partnership. If that sounds like an opportunity you'd like to investigate, let's connect. #SuccessMindset #LeadershipGoals #WorkEthic

In 2009, before Steph Curry was drafted, the Golden State Warriors ranked 77th out of 92 professional teams across the NBA, NFL, and MLB in franchise valuation. At that time, the team was worth $450 million. Fast forward to today, and their valuation has soared to nearly $8 billion. They now rank second among all those sports franchises. While there are many factors contributing to this growth, it's undeniable that Steph Curry has had a monumental impact. He's not only changed the way basketball is played but also significantly boosted the Warriors' brand and championship count. This post isn't just about celebrating Curry's basketball skills. It's a reminder of how crucial it is to have the right people in the right roles. Six players were chosen before him in the NBA draft, and none have had the transformative effect he's had on a franchise. Those teams didn't see how Curry could change the game. So what's the takeaway? People are an organization's most valuable asset. This isn't to say people are just 'assets' as they offer value far beyond what they produce. But in terms of organizational success, having the right people in leadership roles is absolutely vital.
