What’s the #1 skill that makes or breaks an entrepreneur?

(And no, it’s NOT just leadership or productivity.)

After 25+ years coaching growth-minded founders and executives, Teresa Easler from Connect to the Core has spotted a pattern: It’s all about communication.

Not the “I send a memo every week” kind—but the kind of communication that truly rallies a team, articulates vision, and drives results both inside and outside your company. Lacking it? You see stalled growth, stalled delegation, and the dreaded culture drift.

On the latest Grow with Tim Podcast, Teresa shares fascinating stories (including helping transform a task-obsessed operations leader into a visionary president), breaks down the real reason communication challenges are actually HR issues in disguise, and dishes out practical, actionable steps for founders ready to level up.

We also dive into:

Strategic Coach concepts that help entrepreneurs reclaim time & focus

How to let go of control and delegate (hint: delegate UP, not down!)

Getting clear on your unique ability so your whole team is truly in their zone of genius

Here's a secret: Most leaders think they're communicating clearly, but the “annual survey” always says otherwise 😉.

If your vision isn’t catching on, or you’re spending more time solving people problems than scaling, this is a must-listen.

In this session, we explore how to reduce your cognitive load, enhance creativity, and get more (and better) stuff done! Emphasizing the importance of pre-making decisions, I suggest strategies to streamline daily tasks, such as planning your day the night before and creating lists to prioritize your actions. We have to stop wasting energy on small decisions throughout the day and instead use strategies like batching, delegating, automating, and simplifying to reduce cognitive load.

I provide practical examples, from planning meals to automating bill payments, to illustrate how simplifying routine decisions can lead to increased productivity and the ability to tackle more significant challenges.

From bankruptcy to a million-dollar payday in just over a month! This and many other great stories are just inside today's podcast with my guest Erik Weir. I met Erik aboard his private jet on the way to the wedding of a mutual friend. On that trip I had his undivided attention and got to ask all kinds of questions. I felt like I got a mini-MBA on that 4-hour plane ride, and it was just the beginning. Since then, Erik has helped me with several significant negotiations and has challenged my thinking in some really powerful ways. On today's show, we talk about goals, finding resources (capital and otherwise), overcoming failure, getting past rejection, and so much more.
