  • Insights from Patrick Laing (Monologue): “L” is for Light

    Insights from Patrick Laing (Monologue): “L” is for Light
    2024/12/06
    Welcome to Finding Certainty. Today, as part of our ongoing exploration of the principles that lead to greater certainty in life and business, we focus on one of the most universal and transformative concepts: Light. Light symbolizes hope, guidance, and truth, all essential components of certainty. In this episode, we’ll uncover how embracing and sharing light—whether in leadership, personal development, or service—can illuminate our paths and those of others, creating a ripple effect of positivity and assurance. We’ll discuss powerful examples of light in action, from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ “Light the World” campaign to global figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa, whose lives were beacons of hope. Light’s presence in art, science, and faith reveals its profound ability to inspire and guide us through challenges. In business, leaders who radiate clarity and positivity not only attract success but foster environments where trust, collaboration, and innovation thrive. The Law of Attraction teaches that the energy we emit shapes what we receive. By radiating light through kindness, optimism, and service, we create a self-sustaining cycle of growth and fulfillment, both personally and professionally. From daily actions to transformative initiatives, light aligns us with our values and allows us to build certainty not only for ourselves but for everyone around us. In closing, light is more than a metaphor—it’s a foundation for purpose and progress. When we share our light, we become agents of clarity and hope, helping ourselves and others move confidently through life’s uncertainties.

  • Incremental Improvements, Extraordinary Profits, with Skip Nelson

    Incremental Improvements, Extraordinary Profits, with Skip Nelson
    2024/11/22
    In this episode of Finding Certainty, host Patrick Laing sits down with seasoned entrepreneur, business coach, and Profit Acceleration Specialist, Skip Nelson, to delve into the realities of building a business from the ground up. Together, they explore the challenges of entrepreneurship—the sacrifices, costs, long hours, and often sleepless nights that are all part of the journey. They also discuss the WHY: the dreams, rewards, and driving purpose that make it all worthwhile. The discussion highlights the critical role of understanding one's WHY. Why are you in business? Why is it worth it? Are you willing to persevere through the setbacks and challenges that will surely come? Skip reveals that money is rarely the sole motivator and emphasizes the importance of connecting with a deeper purpose. Patrick concurs and shares his own insights as the owner of three different companies, two domestic, and one international. Skip shares his invaluable insights on why so many business owners excel at their craft but so often struggle with the “business of business.” It's usually because, while they're good at what they do (dentistry, roofing, law, etc.). they aren't usually marketers, accountants, attorneys, SEO experts, or salespeople, etc. To succeed at business, we all need to do three main things: 1. Put in the effort, maintain a strong work ethic, and be willing to pay the price. 2. Surround themselves with a team of experts who excel in areas they don’t (this includes of course coaches, mentors, and other business experts like Patrick and Skip). 3. Commit to continuous growth, learning, improvement, and ongoing evolution. Tune in for an inspiring and practical conversation packed with advice and encouragement for entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey.

  • Insights from Patrick Laing (Monologue): “K” is for Kindness

    Insights from Patrick Laing (Monologue): “K” is for Kindness
    2024/11/01
    Welcome to Finding Certainty. Today, as part of our journey through the alphabet of principles that lead to greater certainty in our lives and businesses, I’ve decided on “K is for Kindness.” Often overlooked in business, kindness is a powerful tool that can help build trust, loyalty, and stability—essential pillars of certainty. Leading with kindness may seem unconventional, but it forges relationships that last, creating environments where people feel valued and motivated to give their best. In this episode, we’ll explore how kindness functions as “compassion in action.” We’ll share examples like Patagonia and Southwest Airlines, where kindness has led to stronger customer loyalty, company stability, and growth. These companies understand that treating people well—whether employees or customers—builds a sense of certainty that fuels long-term success. Kindness in leadership also creates a culture of trust, where innovation and collaboration thrive. Leaders like Tony Hsieh of Zappos built a legacy on this foundation, creating brands known for exceptional customer care and employee loyalty. Kindness fosters creativity, and when people feel valued, they’re more willing to invest their time and ideas. We’ll also touch on the importance of everyday acts of kindness. It’s not just grand gestures that matter but the consistent, small actions that build trust and reinforce our own sense of purpose. Kindness aligns us with our values, fostering certainty not only in others but within ourselves. In closing, kindness is far more than a feel-good concept—it’s a strategic approach that invites kismet, aligning us with opportunities we might not foresee. When we lead with kindness, we set a foundation of certainty that supports both our personal growth and professional success.
