Episode #020: Scott M. Fay, Author, Discover Your Sweet Spot

Before we can begin building our organizations (or our families or teams), we must first begin building up ourselves. And, before we can expect to do that, we need to create an environment conducive for growth.
So says Scott M. Fay, author of Discover Your Sweet Spot: The 7 Steps to Create a Life of Success and Significance (preorder in paperback).
Throughout his career, Scott has acquired more than a dozen failing landscaping and irrigation companies and managed to roll them into two industry-leading and award-winning organizations. Besides speaking and training internationally, Scott serves as Executive Vice President of the John Maxwell Team.
Here Our Conversation Now
[spp-player]
As much as anything, Scott understands the importance of speaking into the lives of others. Scott asserts that legacies are maintained when we choose to invest in other people. He shares how his father had a long-term vision for his growth as a child, rather than a shortsighted perspective for his happiness, and what you can do to facilitate this kind of growth in your own children.
In today’s episode, Scott shares with us:

* How his failures, not his successes, qualified him to write this book
* How to create an environment conducive to growth and learning, both in your organization and your family
* The importance of designing the proper environment before attempting to build it
* The 3 Ps that make up the Sweet Spot (Hint: Passion, Purpose & Plan)
* Why there’s a tendency for most to give up on their dreams just as they’re about to hit the tipping point
* And much more!
