On today's episode, how to avoid the daily grind and how to have a healthier approach to work.
And then we'll get into the importance of being excellent in the ordinary.
From the Ramsey Network, I'm George Camel, and this is the Entree Leadership Podcast,
where we help business leaders like you grow themselves, their teams, and their profits.
Today, I'm talking with Rabbi Daniel Lapin, also known as America's Rabbi.
He's a rabbinic scholar, international speaker, and bestselling author of one of Dave Ramsey's favorite books.
looks, Thou shall prosper.
We're going to talk about how showing up day after day is the key to success
and how to balance that with long-term planning for your desired future.
So let's get to it.
Enjoy this conversation.
Rabbi Lapin is so great to have you here in studio.
How you've been?
Couldn't be better, thank you.
And it's so lovely to do this in person and actually be face-to-face instead of over-digital
equipment.
Oh, I totally agree.
Well, we are big fans of yours here at Ramsey Solutions.
Dave have been friends for a long time now, and we're honored to have you in studio to talk about
an important conversation. And it's something that all of the business leaders listening need
to grapple with, and that is the daily grind. And there's a big difference here with short-term goals
and long-term goals. But when it comes to work, you view this as two types. There are two types of
work, and I want you to explain the Hebrew words behind them, if you would. Sure. But first of all,
Before we even dive into that, you have to forgive me, but I need to utterly and unambiguously reject the term the daily grind.
You're done with it. We're not doing it.
Because if you view your work as a grind, I mean, really, isn't life too short to do things that are a grind?
A grind means that it's wearing you down, right?
It's a negative connotation.
In my shop, I have a grinding wheel.
Now there's a limited number of times you can grind the point on a chisel before you don't have a chisel left anymore because grind grinds you down.
No, work isn't a grind.
It's a privilege and an opportunity.
And the key thing is to be able to reshape one's outlook into this area.
Wow, that's powerful.
No, it's really very, very important because, you know, let me share with you four verses quickly.
Okay.
one of them is in Genesis chapter 2 verse 15 and God put Adam in the Garden of Eden to work it.
Right?
And then another one is Exodus chapter 2, chapter 20 verse 9.
It's the 10 commandments.
The fourth commandment is the Sabbath.
And six days you must do all your work.
Now you notice I've given you two verses that use the word work.
And I want to give you two more verses.
Chapter 1 in Exodus, God says to Moses, go to Pharaoh and say, let my people go so that they may worship me in the desert.
That's a worship.
Chapter 24 of Joshua, the very last chapter in the book of Joshua, verse 15, Joshua is fed up with everybody.
He says, you know what, you people can do what you like.
As for me and my family, we shall worship the Lord.
Now, see, I've given you two verses of work and two verses of worship.
work is God in Eden and Sabbath, six days you must work,
and worship is leave Egypt and worship God in the desert,
and for me and my family will worship the Lord.
Now, I like telling people that everybody needs a rabbi,
because I hate unemployment.
Oh, that's perfect.
And so I humbly submit my candidacy for that job.
And what I'm able to share is something that is totally hidden in the English translation.
And that is all four verses use the same Hebrew word, even though the English translated the first two as work and the second two is worship.
They're interconnected.
Same word. Because, and here's the crucial thing, taking care of business is another way of worshiping the Lord. Why? Because here's a way of defining work. Work is pleasing another one of God's children. It might be your boss, might be a customer, might be.
a client, could be any number of people. But if you're not pleasing another person, you're not working.
You see why this isn't a grind. Yeah, it's service. It's service, exactly, and that's why we use
the word customer service and worship service. These are very closely related concepts. And so when I
go to work, see, I follow the biblical rule. Six days shalt thou work, and the seventh is the Lord's
day I rest. I rest on the Shabbat, the Sabbath is Saturday.
So my six days of work start on Saturday night, Sunday morning.
I go to work.
It's not a pain.
It's not a grind.
It's exciting.
It's a privilege.
It's just one more way of pleasing my boss.
Well, if you've met any of our entree leadership attendees, you'll know they're just like you.
They're so excited to do the work they get to do.
Exactly.
That's why I say we shouldn't use the word the daily grind.
It's a privilege and a pleasure.
I mean, gosh, what would you rather do?
Wow, that's powerful.
Yeah.
So when it comes to work, as much as we love doing what we get to do, there's pieces of work that we may not enjoy.
It's all of the daily tasks, the meetings, the stuff that we have to do in order to have the impact that we want to make.
How do we push through those things and have that impact and get to the stuff that excites us?
How do you balance those?
We all recognize that in our daily work.
There are parts of things we like doing, parts of things we don't like doing.
If you are an independent entrepreneur, if you are building a business, then what you try to do is hire people to do the things you don't like doing so you can focus on the things you do like doing because invariably you're going to be doing those better than you're going to be doing the things you don't like.
But especially when you're starting off, you don't have an option and you have to do everything.
And again, the Lord's language comes to our defense because we have different words for work.
One of them, avodais, is meaning the hard, grueling work.
So the work that in Exodus, the children of Israel dead in Egypt, is repeatedly referred to as Avodar.
But then when it comes to work that is then the creative side,
which you can then subsequently do based on all your previous hard work,
that's a different Hebrew word.
And we learn to integrate those two things so that even when you're doing the hard, grueling preparatory work,
learning your trade or building up groundwork for what it is you want to do,
you know, everyone likes decorating the house, but somebody's got to pour the foundations and lay the
bricks and do the framing and put up the boarding. Yeah, you've got to do everything before you can get
to the pot you like. And when we integrate those, we find ourselves inspired and driven because we can
see the end goal inside. The end goal is that I'd like to be able to do the creative side of my work.
The part I really enjoy, but I've got to do the groundwork first. And when we integrate those
into the same thing, we realize that it becomes much more inspiring, much more, and much easier
to motivate ourselves and drive ourselves to get that early part done.
Yeah, and all work in that sense has a lot of meaning.
Even if it feels trivial, it's a part of the greater good and the impact that you need to make.
Yes, of course.
That's a good reminder for our leaders out there.
And Dave Ramsey comes to mind as one of those people who could have retired, quote, unquote,
a long time ago.
He had enough money.
Yeah.
But he decided this isn't about, this is a calling.
I can't help but show up every day and do the work that I get today.
And everybody's work should be a calling.
That's powerful.
So as we get into your book, Thou Shall Prosper.
Yeah.
The Fifth Commandment that you have in that book says that we need to balance short and long-term business goals.
And, you know, we tend to focus on the short-term emergencies.
It's just very reactive, all the little things, all the little fires in our day,
instead of the long-term goals.
How do we balance those well as leaders?
So I think it's really important to stay focused on the essentials.
And what I mean by that is that I have a phrase I use in my own podcast regularly
and even in live programming when I teach a symposium or I do an event.
And that is that the more that things change, the more we need to depend upon those things that never change.
And it's really important.
I remember back in 2000, everybody, you know, the internet was brand new, everybody was jumping in.
And the big talk then was eyeballs.
Eyeballs, what are eyeballs?
How many times people see your page?
And vast sums of money were raised.
I remember an early attempt at groceries online.
They raised a lot of money based on eyeballs.
And at the time, I remember doing a program on exactly this idea. Wait a second. The more that things change, the more we need to depend on those things that never change. What never changes is that you know you are providing a valuable service when you get a profit. You do not know from eyeballs. So stop with the silly eyeballs and focus on revenue and expenses. And when we check,
the difference between revenue and expenses, we either end up with a positive number or a negative
number. Positive is better. Now, this is unchanging, but it was very hard to get an audience in 2000 and 2001,
2000, until the whole thing blew up, because everybody was excited about this new technology.
Look, the new technology, there's always been new technology. Admittedly, this is an exciting one.
But in 1844, when the telegraph first happened, when a message was delivered from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore, Maryland on a copper wire, this is the first time in human history that a message could be communicated over a vast distance without using a man on a horse.
Wow.
This was stupendous.
This was as big as the internet.
Bigger than the internet was to us was the telegraph to them.
They've always been technological developments, but you don't lose sight of the things that never change.
And one of the things that never changes is, if you're not making a profit, you are not in business.
That's very straight.
Eyeballs, I don't want to know about eyeballs.
Carrots, I don't want to know about carrots.
Just talk to me about revenue and expenses, because those are things that never change.
And that, I think, is fundamental to the task of any leader.
who is the most important person that I have to lead?
Yourself.
Myself, of course.
Exactly.
Wow.
Yeah, and that's the hardest one.
Yeah.
Because, as everyone knows, the one person who causes you more trouble in your life,
the one person who obstructs your progress,
the person who's created more headaches for you than anybody else.
The real villain of the story is the guy whose name is on your driver's license.
Hmm.
The guy in the mirror.
Yeah, that's right.
That's powerful.
So let's talk about the minutia, if you will, of the day-to-day.
It can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel some days when you're at work.
How can leaders help their teams see this connection between the daily tasks, all the little things happening day-to-day,
and that long-term vision that we're all headed towards?
That, of course, is primarily the job of leader.
One of the problems that happens is that leaders very often establish themselves as bottlenecks.
and right now listening to us, there is any number of people who are doing this in their businesses,
they make sure that every decision has to come through them.
Is it a lack of trust?
Is that what's happening?
That's a good question.
Or is an ego thing maybe?
I don't know that it's an ego thing, but I'm not 100% sure of what causes it, but I know it's real.
I know it's out there.
I know when I'm asked to come into businesses to advise, one of the first things I'm looking for
is everything ends up on the leader's desk.
and, you know, there are people who are sitting around.
What are you doing?
I'm just waiting to get an authorization from the boss.
What are you doing?
I'm just waiting to see my advertising campaign needs to be approved, by the way.
And the guy, it's my business.
Of course I have to make these decisions.
Well, what that means is that you are yourself embroiled in the minutiae.
You're doing other people's work, and you're not doing what you should be doing,
which is exactly the point you just raised, which is you should be providing the roadmap.
And one of the most important things on a roadmap is the destination.
We're not going on a road trip if we don't know where we're going.
And that's crucial.
And what's more, navigation, you know, I sailed my family on our sailboat to Hawaii.
And it was a 22-day journey from the West Coast to Hawaii.
No signposts on the way.
You know, no gas stations to stop in and get directions.
every day at midday, I would take a sunset with a sextant and put a mark on the paper chart
designating where we are.
And then I would draw a line from there to Hawaii, to Honolulu, and they would tell me how to steer.
Why didn't I just do that once in Los Angeles at the beginning of the voyage and then just
steer that route?
You've got to keep checking it every day, because you don't necessarily end up each day where you
thought you would 24 hours earlier. And so you constantly have to renavigate, but you can only do that
if your destination is absolutely clear. Well, you know this, but I appreciate how much you're able
to extract from these ancient texts that apply to our modern day lives today and all of our
leaders' lives. It's not just a historic text. It's literally God's message to mankind.
Well, as we wrap here, I know it's hard to sum this up, but what is the one habit that you,
you think every leader needs to pursue daily to get through those tasks to accomplish their vision
every single day? Is there one habit?
Possibly, I'd say let me have two, all right? I'm going to give you two.
I'll tell you why, because I think the whole people sometimes say to me, what is the most
important secret to a successful marriage? And the answer is very simple. The answer is there is
no one secret. Life is too complex and human interactions are filled with.
with more variables than an out-of-control nuclear power station.
And so there isn't one secret.
So to wrap up with one thing is hard, but I'll go with two.
One is make sure you can read financial statements
and have a regular financial statement for your own business,
even if you are still one person trying to build your business.
Maybe you're even an employee.
Start seeing yourself as a business
and check your own financial statements every month.
make sure you know what a profit and loss is and you have one.
Make sure you have a cash flow statement.
So getting down to the nitty gritty, because let's give you an example,
you know, nobody loses weight if they don't have a scale and they don't keep a record of their weight.
Nobody can make money if you don't have a bookkeeping system and you don't know how to read it
and you're not watching it regularly.
If there is no metric, there is no progress.
And so I'd be very emphatic that that's a hugely important statement.
And perhaps the second one is to remember that the more that things change, the more we must
depend on those things that never change.
Keep your eye on the real goal.
The goal isn't how many friends on Facebook.
Be happy to exchange 500 friends on Facebook for one customer.
Because customers are more important than digital friends.
And so I think, you know, keeping both of those really, you could say the same thing in a sense,
which is keep your eye on the reality of where you are.
are and keep your eye on where you are intending to get and make sure you navigate diligently.
Well, Rabbi, this has been an inspiring conversation.
Appreciate your time.
Thanks for the opportunity to share with you.
Yeah, you really encourage our leaders today.
Appreciate it.
Big thanks to Rabbi Lapin for coming by the Entree Leadership Studio.
So much wisdom.
If you want to get his book, Thou Shall Prosper, or another one of our favorites,
business secrets from the Bible, we've got a link to both of those in the show notes.
All right, coming up, we're talking about.
talking about excellence in the ordinary and how it can lead to big results.
We'll have a conversation about that right after this.
All right, we're back, and coming up, I talk to Blake Thompson,
one of our board members and the executive vice president of Ramsey Network.
He's been here for almost 26 years,
and he knows the importance of being faithful in the little things
and how it can lead to huge success.
We're also going to talk about the importance of having core values for your team.
Here's our conversation.
Blake, super excited to have you on the podcast.
Well, thanks for inviting me on.
I mean, you run the network that produces this show.
That feels pretty meta to be inside of it.
That's pretty cool.
I'm usually not on this part.
I'm watching my guys do it.
You're behind the scenes.
That's right.
You guys do a great job.
We brought you in front of the scenes today
because we thought you'd be the perfect guy to talk about excellence in the ordinary.
This is a core value around here.
It's not just slapped on the walls.
It's something that we live and breathe.
And we stand on the shoulders of giants like you,
who for many, many years were excellent in the ordinary.
How many years have you been at Ramsey now?
This July will be the 26th.
Whoa, 26 years.
Yeah.
That boggles my mind.
And you started out as the original producer
for what's now known as the Ramsey show.
That's right.
My first gig was actually a board op,
running the board for Dave.
He wanted to take the show nationwide
because it was starting to take off in Nashville
and had just an hourly guy by the local station
that could care less about the show.
you know and so um i got hooked up with him through my college i graduated with and we hit it off
and he set out a vision of what this could be i took a major pay cut but he said trust me you need
come over here this thing's going to take off we do everything debt free don't have a lot of
money right now but it's 26 years later he went from you know just producing and running the board
and doing some phone screening to now overseeing the network wow and now there's multiple shows
the team is exponentially grown before it was just you and day
holding down the fort.
And now you've got a whole team of engineers and producers and all kinds of people you're leading.
I love to see that kind of growth.
So talk to us about excellence in the ordinary.
What it means to you?
Well, when you told me we're going to talk about this, I think of you got to go back to humble beginnings and how we started,
because I'm sure people listening have maybe a small business or thinking about starting.
What we learned early was it wasn't going to be one big thing that was going to make us successful.
I think about when we started syndicating the radio show, we always like, if we could get the Ramsey show on in New York City, or if we could get Dave on the Oprah show, or like what we just did recently, if we could get an award-winning documentary out in the nation, we will make it.
And what we realize is those things didn't just make us go from, you know, two to ten.
it's not just one big splash.
And we went into those things thinking, this is it, this is it.
But it's more about the things in between those big things.
And what I mean by that, it's the small things coming in on time,
actually working when you're at work,
taking care of the customer by calling them back,
you know, just excellence in the ordinary small day-to-day things.
But it wasn't just about the success part.
It was also, we realized that it wasn't going to probably be
just one mistake or one missed thing that was going to make us fail either.
Dave calls it death by a thousand cuts.
So it's a bunch of little things, not being excellent over the little things over time.
They say it's not just one piece of cake that's going to make you fat.
You just keep eating the cake week by week by week.
And oh, all of a sudden I wake up, I'm fat.
So both the success side and the failure side, it's just being on top of those small little things day to day that really matter.
It's the things that may seem trivial or seem like a waste of time.
That's right.
But that's the stuff that grows your character.
That's the stuff that ends up making a big impact over a long period of time.
And we found if you don't do those things with excellence and you don't focus like that, you don't get the opportunity for the big things.
Yeah.
So take us back to the older days when it was a much smaller team.
What are a few examples of things that you've seen or maybe that you did back in those early days?
And how that's led to here we are today, over 1,000 team members.
and hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
Yeah, some of those smaller things, or maybe not real small,
just the things you just had to do every day that got us to where we are today.
I think back of, you know, when Dave and I started out,
we had to drive 40 miles round trip just to go to a little closet
that had the equipment to be able to do a radio show
for three hours a day, Monday through Friday.
And the reason we were willing to do that is because we wasn't going to build our own thing
because we didn't have the money.
So we had to stay with their debt-free.
principles every single day until we saved up in about three years from that time and built,
you know, we're in a little closet.
We just got a little bigger closet of our own, but we did it the right way.
It was calling stations in the early days when no one had a clue who Dave Ramsey is.
He was no household name then.
No one had any idea what this radio show was.
And it was consistently getting on the phone, cold calling these stations and going,
hey, will you take the show begging these, trust me, it's going to help your people.
but they had no clue who we were,
but it's that little stuff we had to do every day
that wasn't the fun.
I also think of George back in the day
when there's about, I don't know, 10 to 20 of us,
we'd have little phones in our, like, cube area,
and a voice would come on and say,
all men to shipping.
And what that was was,
we dropped whatever we were doing
because a truck was pulling up
with our books or some product
from a small live event we did,
and it didn't matter if you were in shipping.
We didn't have a shipping department then.
It didn't matter what your job was.
was, but part of those little small things starting out was, okay, we got to go down and give a hand
and unload that truck. Now we have a whole shipping department, a big old dock out here with semis
pull up and a team to do that. So when it happens, me and you aren't leaving what we're doing
to go do it, but we would not have that today if it wasn't for those small, doing the small
things and being willing to do that stuff really. One more example was that just came to me as
live events. When we started doing live events, one of our first markets was this Jackson,
Tennessee, and it was in a small hotel, a little conference room, and it was a big deal.
We were going on the road to Jackson. We didn't have a live events department. Dave was going to go
there to speak. I drove a van, and I was a producer. I had a guy with me that did another whole job,
and we worked the tables while we were there, like selling the books. But that was the small things
it took to get to where we are today, where we have teams doing that and a whole live event team
and all that. So it was pretty cool. Side-note, when we were at that hotel, me and Dave were in the
parking lot right after the event, just probably, I don't know, maybe 50, 67 people there.
We looked across the street at the arena there in Jackson. We said one day we're going to be in there,
and literally three years later, just a side note, Dave was on that stage in there.
Wow. That's incredible.
Yeah. Man, I love hearing these stories. It's inspiring. And for, you know, all of our listeners,
they're going, oh, this is where I am today.
And if I can just be excellent in the ordinary,
be faithful in those little things,
over time it's going to get you there.
But in the moment, it can feel like this is not what's going to be it.
Monday, nuance.
Yep, you're right.
And Dave reminds us in staff meeting.
It feels like about every Monday that, hey,
if you're writing that piece of code,
you're firing off that email,
you're making that phone call,
that is the backbone of this place.
It's not the flashy book launches and the shows
and being in front of the camera.
You're right.
It's those people who create.
the impact.
That's right.
And so it's a great reminder
for our leaders listening
that you will get there,
but it starts with this.
It starts with being faithful
in the little things,
managing what God's given you
really well,
focusing on your KRA,
even if you go,
that's not what I want to be doing.
You have to really crush the KRA
if you want to go to that next thing.
So true.
That's good.
So let's talk about present day.
How does this play out
currently with our culture
and everything we've built here at Ramsey?
Well, it's what we're calling
core values.
You know,
this is one of our core
values like you set up this interview. And if you work at Ramsey, you hear the word core value,
you know what that means. That means this is what the foundation is. This is like,
this is what we do. It's not aspirational. That's right. So much so, and you know this,
George, that Dave on staff meeting Mondays will still hit these core values or teach from them.
It's constantly, you could be here for 26 years, you could be here for 26 minutes, and you're
going to hear the CEO from the stage hitting these core values constantly. You're going to hear
leaders in your department sharing that and saying, this is our filter, this is how we do it.
And it comes top down. And you can even come visit us at Ramsey Solutions. If you're in Franklin,
Tennessee and come in our building, guess what? They're on the walls. You go on the stair walls,
the staircase. They're on the walls in there. You get off an elevator. It's in front of your face.
So it plays out to be a core value, which each business in return has that posture and is held to that.
And at the end of the day, it's doing the right thing, the right way every day.
Some great reminders there.
And I've witnessed this day in and day out.
And it's not enough to put a core value in an employee handbook one time.
You've got to remind your team.
You've got to communicate this regularly.
You have to see it.
You have to be it.
And so for the leader who's going, my team's not grasping this.
Are you doing it later?
Are you going first and showing them what that looks like?
Yeah, and your point, I think of Dave, always says,
whether it's a core value or it's, hey, here's our vision,
or here's why we're making this decision or this move.
He always says, you've got to say it like 25 times
until someone goes, oh, I get it instead of just one and done.
Yeah.
So what is the importance of having core values like this for your team?
For a leader listening, they go, Blake, this is all nice.
I've got my mission.
I've got my vision.
Do I really need these core values?
Yeah, it really is your filter
or should be your guide or a compass.
I think of Jim Collins' book, Built to Last.
If you haven't read that book,
Jim Collins studies these major corporations
and these companies we've all heard of,
the ones that have succeeded over time through the years,
and he's also studied the ones
that everyone thought was the next big thing
or huge, and they failed.
And he really wanted to,
to know what caused them to fail and what caused the ones to win.
And one of the key characteristics in that book he found was an uncompromising commitment to a
core value as a team.
And so, I mean, that just sums it up.
They must know exactly what the foundation is, how we make decisions.
It had to have been talked about all the time, not just once like we called out.
So that's a big one.
Another thing is core values should always come before like a policy or, you know,
or practices or financial goals.
You have to have that, I feel, because I learned it here,
in order for that other stuff to even work and to have a unified team.
And, you know, Team Unity can only be maintained where there's an agreement,
I feel, on core values.
And, you know, we got guys in the booth running cameras and audio right here.
You're across from me.
We all will hear a core value, and we all know exactly what it means,
because we all hear it all the time.
Yeah, man, some great reminders there.
I love seeing your growth over the years.
I mean, we stand on the shoulders of giants like you who have paved the way for many, many years before I ever entered this building.
And I'm just grateful for you're taking us as well.
Love your heart, love your wisdom.
Thanks for being on with us.
Well, thank you, George, for having me.
Thanks so much, Blake.
You know, one of my favorite quotes is from Zig Zigler.
And he says this, if you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time.
You see, if you don't have a clear vision for your team, how can you expect them to win?
And we want to help you dial in that vision and create actionable goals.
