Recently I was asked to consider and write down an answer to the question; “what EO mean to me?” After 14 years, as a member and volunteer leader in the Entrepreneurs’ Organization, it was a challenging question to answer in just a few sentences.
Whether it’s elite athletes, Hollywood actors, or CEOs leading multi-billion-dollar companies, one thing is clear—no one achieves their best alone. Yet, when it comes to business, particularly for entrepreneurs running companies breaking into millions in revenue, coaching often feels like a luxury rather than a necessity.
In this episode of RadEO, we talk to Aaron Lee founder and CEO of Iluma Agency. Co-Founder of Pythos and EO Regional Chair for US East and Past President of the South Florida Chapter.
“I think I have a concussion.” Sometimes your kids say the darnedest things at the most inconvenient times. It was a bright February Sunday, and my wife and I were in the middle of hosting our annual Family Fun Day event. With almost a hundred of our closest family and friends gathered at a park for a day of fun and festivities, I was in full-on “host mode” and did not have time for “concussions.” My daughter, Megan, has always had a flair for the dramatic, and any casual bump to the head could earn the “concussion” self-diagnosis from her. Then she said something that got me to stop flipping burgers and really listen.
