3 Things To Do to Build Mental Strength
If anyone has ever gotten into conversation with me for longer than five minutes, I will probably bring up Navy SEALs at some point. I have huge respect for those who serve our country. So, when I was in the airport grabbing some seltzer water and almonds and saw Jocko Willink – the ultimate SEAL […]
5 Ways to Secure Your Company’s Reputation
This week we moved into a brand new state-of-the-art office building – the new headquarters for Hergenrother Enterprises (KW Vermont, Hergenrother Realty Group, Adam Hergenrother Training Organization, BlackRock Construction, and Hergenrother Foundation). Last week, Hergenrother Enterprises was named one of the Best Places to Work in Vermont. Both of these accomplishments were a testament to […]
Focus on Daily Execution for Big Results
Last Saturday I completed my first triathlon – a half-Ironman – in Clermont, Florida. On the Friday before my race, I had a call with my coach and he told me to forget about the time goals that I wanted to hit, because I was putting too much pressure on myself. He told me to […]
How to Move Forward When You Can’t See the Path Ahead
I just got back from three days off the grid, completely unplugged and fully immersed in the natural beauty at the Grand Canyon and Havasupai Falls. Clarity and inspiration were a given. The business world is such a whirlwind. Some days you have extremely clear vision, tons of energy, and feel unstoppable. Other days? It […]
Work Between Vacations
I’m a variety freak. I get bored very quickly and constantly need new training routines, new projects, new books, new adventures to keep me engaged and growing. One of the ways I do that is by traveling (sometimes to other countries and sometimes just a quick weekend getaway in the next town over). In 2017 […]
Zero Tasking for Relentless Results
I’m going to keep this one short and sweet, because I am currently on vacation with my beautiful family in the Bahamas! Does it drive anyone else crazy when you’re in an interview and the candidate says they are great at multi-tasking? Perhaps I’ve just had too much of the Gary Keller/The One Thing kool-aid […]
WTF is Money?
One of the main things about being a entrepreneur and business owner is that I’m always looking at our financials. Daily. I was a Finance manager and have always had money on my mind. How to make it. How to spend it. How to use other people’s money to create even more opportunities. How to […]
When You Play the Blame Game, No One Wins
One of the huge benefits of training for an Ironman is all the time logged biking and running – which means I’m getting through 1-2 (sometimes more) audio books a week. Pretty awesome! This week, I was listening to Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender by David R. Hawkins and it got me thinking a […]
Four Things I F*cked Up in 2016
Well, another year is upon us. Another 365 days to crush our goals and to live the life we truly want – not in 10 years, but today, and every day. We don’t know how much time we have on this earth and it is arrogant to think that we do know. So make each […]
How to Lose 19 Pounds in 2 Months
I’ve been at the same weight and fitness level for the past few years. I had definitely hit a plateau and needed a new challenge in order to lose weight and up my fitness game. Enter – the Ironman (I mean, you didn’t think I would just run a 10k did you?). So, I signed up for […]
Everything is Negotiable and One Thing That’s Not
Only four days until Christmas and I’m just finishing up my shopping. I like to buy experiences, rather than material items, for people so negotiation is always part of my Christmas shopping strategy. Smart people, not Scrooges, negotiate at Christmas and every other time of the year. Everything is negotiable. Booking a vacation to the […]
Simple, Singular Focus for Exponential Growth
Last week I spent five days in the woods, hunting in Kansas with my Dad. What an amazing time to reflect. Regardless of how you feel about hunting, there is nothing like being in nature for days at a time without any distractions and limited cell phone service. Yeah, sure, sometimes it can get a little […]
