Why another book on leadership?
Bob says that he loves leadership and there is still so much to be learned. Bob talks about influence and how leadership is intertwined with it. The book shares more of a story rather than a how-to book.
Bob believes leadership is changing and there can be an endless amount of books on the topic.
What is a Go-Giver?
Someone understands that they are given an enormous responsibility to bring value to those they lead. Bob describes to move from the “I” to the “other focus” and put the interest of others before their own.
“When we think of traditional leadership we sometimes think of the stereotype that the leader is all about themselves. I do feel that this is changing though.” Bob Burg
With a go-giver leader, they willingly give up their self-interest and understands the more value they bring around them, the more it will benefit the organization.
It takes vision and holding on to that vision to be a successful leader. Doing this helps create unity with the community and see the goal.
Keys to Leadership
- Hold your vision
- Getting others to see your vision so they too can become leaders
- Everybody Matters
- Having people feel good about their work
- Stand for something
- Who you are is one of the most important aspects of being a leader
- “When someone has a high character we trust them because they stand for something” Bob Burg
- Practice giving leadership
- Handing over leadership to others
- Coach those that are in a leadership position
- Great leadership can trickle down
Hiring Traits
Bob says he would look for someone that has a history of the “other”. Having the person focused on the team and not the individual self. If you have that as a starting base, then you can look to get to the level 5 leader.
“The level 5 leader will take the blame and assign the credit.” Bob Burg
The level 5 leader will be the leader that is there for you and will run through a wall for you if they have to.
Top 3 Pieces of Advice
- Understand people do things for their reasons, not our reasons
- A great leader always asks questions: How do my goals align with their goals?
- Understand earning trust will be your most valuable asset
- Understand the prevalence of technology is vast, but it is always about the people

Today I’m joined live with Aaron Walker and we’re going to talk about our live event and the come as be party we’re going to throw ...
We hope you enjoy the podcast. All the highlights, resources, and next steps can be found below. Listen to the full episode HERE and learn more at viewfromthetop.com.
The Story
In The Success Principles, Jack Canfield talks about attending a Come as You’ll be Party in 1986. Guests were encouraged to come with book covers, awards, clothes, and pictures that showed them as they would be living 5 years in advance. At this event, Jack showed the cover of his New York Times bestselling book - that was nothing but a dream at that point.
In 1993 the first Chicken Soup for the Soul was released and Jack went on to write over 80 books. More than 500 million Chicken Soup books have been sold—and the original has been translated into 40 languages. Jack says that party flooded their minds with powerful images of already having achieved their aspirations.
Seneca says If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.
Habakkuk 2:2 from the Old Testament says: Write the vision down so that those who read it will run.
These quotes speak to how powerful vision is in our lives.
Come As You Will Be Live Event?
Aaron talks about having a vision and making it come to be. You have to believe it in your mind first and then it will happen. The theme caused members to talk in the future and envision where they would be.
“At the time I stood up and shared my future I hadn’t even written my book and said I would have 10 mastermind groups. It was scary. Now my book is written and we are getting ready to launch our 15th mastermind group and I am 50% greater than where I thought I would be and I am a year ahead of schedule.” - Aaron Walker
Mindset Change
You must work your way to it becoming real and not just perceived. Aaron talks about what has to happen today. You must focus on the things that matter and plan. The 12 Week Year has changed the way we do things. In Iron Sharpens Iron we have daily and weekly accountability partners that keeps us going.
“In Iron Sharpens Iron we focus on the task not the goal.” - Aaron Walker

Up next you can hear Aaron Walker’s exclusive Iron Sharpens Iron expert interview with Profit First author, Mike Michalowicz as Mike shares how he turned everything around and goes deep teaching from his Profit First system.
We hope you enjoy the podcast. All the highlights, resources, and next steps can be found below. Listen to the full episode HERE and learn more at viewfromthetop.com.
Entrepreneurial Spirit
Mike lost three multi-million dollar companies before his 35th birthday. He was awarded the New Jersey's Small Business Association, Young Entrepreneur of the Year when he was 26 years old. He sold his first company, to a private equity company and then his second company to a Fortune 500, so he's working his way up. Mike is a former small business columnist for the Wall Street Journal. His books have been translated in 10 different languages. He's an active partner in multiple companies including an American manufacturer of business growth consultancy and an augmented reality Tech Firm in a Certification Organization for accountants, bookkeepers and business coaches, and that is just the tip of the iceberg.
“The reality is, behind that was a lot of grand mistakes, horrible errors, almost losing my family, losing all my money, just really horrible stuff. I actually think that may be some interesting components and I suspect many people listening in have experienced those elements or just challenges.” - Mike Michalowicz
Most Humbling Moment
Mike is married, has three children and currently lives in a beautiful section of New Jersey. He was very successful and sold his second business for millions and started angel investing. Due to his investment choices, Mike had to share with his family that he had lost everything. They had to move, sell all of their possessions, no sports, horse riding lessons or after school activities, then his 9 year old daughter offered to support their family.
“She ran to her bedroom, grabbed her piggy bank, and she ran back down to me and said, Daddy, I'll support our family, don't worry. I'll support our family. And it was the most humbling moment of my life.” - Mike Michalowicz
Full Time Author
Mike went through 2 years of depression, started boozing and found himself in a very dark place before he finally turned it around. Luckily for Mike he was able to climb out of the gutter. He is now a full time author and owns a few businesses. These days he is definitely living a life of both success and significance.
“I'm really writing books to fix all of my own erroneous ways and hopefully in the process of serving others to address their challenges too.” - Mike Michalowicz
Profit First
Mike explains that we have been taught the formula to profit incorrectly. We have been taught that profit comes last, that profit is the bottom line. He suggests that we put profit first and use the formula sales minus profit equals expenses.
“All I care about is the deposit came in your business immediately take a predetermined percentage of that profit, allocate it toward an account called profit. We hide it from ourselves, we remove our profit. It's the pay yourself first principle apply to our business. And as a result, you start forcing profitability in your business.” - Mike Michalowicz
Join Iron Sharpens Iron
The members of Iron Sharpens Iron are quite spoiled because each month Aaron brings an expert in to speak to us regarding business, leadership, or life. These expert interviews are just one of the ways there is tremendous value in joining the mastermind.
“I don’t know about you, but Profit First has been a huge benefit to the finances in my business. It’s paid for some pretty great trips to the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Germany, and Zimbabwe. And my wife always wonders how we can afford it. I tell her the business! That’s because of profit first.” - Danny Bauer
