LinkedIn | David Asarnow | Life is Precious. Time is Short

Life is precious, and time is short. We never know what tomorrow holds, so why wait to make an impact? After losing my mother-in-law last week, this truth hits harder than ever. We’re here to change lives, to make a difference. Let’s not waste the time we have on this beautiful earth—start today, and make every moment count. Business Nitrogen

How often have potential deals slipped through the cracks because you were too busy juggling other tasks? I’m sure you know what I’m talking about… You’re in the middle of a crucial Zoom meeting with a client, and then — *ding* —a call comes through that you can’t immediately answer. Fast forward 20 minutes and the meeting ends. You check your phone, and it was a potential lead. Now the lead is gone, and so is the potential revenue since they went with someone else. Frustrating, right? ACTUAL STATISTIC: Entrepreneurs who respond to potential customer calls, texts, or emails within 3 minutes are 100x more likely to win their business. Yet, so many Entrepreneurs still lose valuable leads simply because they or their team can’t pick up the phone before it goes to voicemail. The result? Missed opportunities, decreased revenue, and increased stress. And here’s the challenge: You and I became business owners to help people, and make good money… not to play phone tag. So, what are we supp...

Would you take an easy $1 million, or a penny that doubles everyday for a month?

If I offered you a million dollars today or a penny that doubles every day for a month, which would you choose? While the allure of a quick and easy $1 million might seem irresistible, the magic of compounding—The penny approach—Surpasses it by the end of the month. By the end of 30 days, that single penny would have turned into over $10 MILLION. This illustrates a powerful principle in wealth creation: True wealth is built gradually— not overnight. Proverbs sums this up beautifully: “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.” —Proverbs 13:11 In our culture of instant gratification, it’s easy to fall for the temptation of 'get rich quick' schemes. We hear stories all the time about lucky lottery winners, crypto traders making a killing, or startups that explode overnight. Over time, these stories capture our imagination and fuel the belief that maybe wealth can come with the snap of a finger. The reality, though? These ‘get-r...

Doer or dreamer? What separates intentions from results?

The world is full of people with ideas. Everyone has a plan, a dream. But how many take the steps necessary to turn those dreams into reality? If you're reading this, there's a 99.99% chance you're either a current business owner or an aspiring Entrepreneur who wants to: Create a positive impact Build a strong legacy Achieve financial freedom Each of these goals is commendable, but achieving them requires more than just having a vision; it demands action, dedication, and the willingness to do the hard work that many shy away from. The Tenach says it best: "In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty" —Proverbs 14:23 Think about it…Have you ever watched ABC’s ‘Shark Tank’? 👇 It's a TV show where Entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a panel of investors, hoping to secure funding. After years of watching, I noticed that there are usually two different types of people who come on the show. First, it’s the Entrepreneur who walks in wi...

Are you *really* listening to your team? Why every voice matters

As business owners and Entrepreneurs, we are constantly navigating through obstacles and setbacks. Whether it’s looking for unique ways to set ourselves apart from the competition, finding and retaining new team members, or keeping up with the daily grind… These happen to be the challenges we can see and know we must conquer. But what about the obstacles we can't see? The hidden issues that could be quietly derailing our progress—Those are the ones we often don't even know exist. It's a classic case of "You don't know what you don't know," and it can be just as important, (if not more so), than the hurdles we're already tackling. Take, for instance, the story of Balaam’s Donkey… 👇 In Numbers 22-24, we read about the sorcerer and prophet Balaam, on his way to curse the Israelites as requested by the Moabite King Balak. However, an obstacle appears that only his donkey can see: An angel of the Lord standing in the road with a drawn sword. Each ti...

Are you tired of feeling like there's never enough

Feeling like there’s never enough? It’s time to shift from scarcity to abundance. The power of mindset can’t be overstated—those with an abundance mindset achieve more overall success, according to a Stanford study. Thriving entrepreneurs see every challenge as an opportunity and believe success is within reach. Here are 5 ways to cultivate an abundance mindset: Focus on Solutions, Not Problems: Instead of dwelling on obstacles, direct your energy towards finding solutions. This proactive approach opens up new possibilities and pathways to success. Celebrate Others’ Successes: Jealousy blocks progress. By celebrating the achievements of others, you open yourself up to inspiration and new opportunities. Remember, someone else’s success doesn’t diminish your own potential. Practice Gratitude: Acknowledge the abundance already present in your life. Regularly reflecting on what you’re grateful for shifts your perspective and attracts more positive experiences. Embrace Collaboration: Teamwo...

Focusing on Serving instead of Doing

At 55, I’m reflecting on what I missed and what I don’t want to miss moving forward. The key? Shift your focus from just doing to truly serving.

Why 1 team member is better than 3: Small Team? No Problem. Accomplish More.

If you’re like me, we can agree that quality is almost always infinitely better than quantity in all aspects of life. I’d much rather have: One loyal friend who's there for you in times of need, than a hundred acquaintances who disappear when sh*t hits the fan. One highly engaged employee who believes in our mission, vision, and values, than a team of ten who clock in and out without passion and alignment towards our values. Why? Because at the heart of any success—Be it personal, professional, or spiritual—Lies the essence of genuine commitment and excellence . Quality, not quantity, symbolizes depth and value. It's about investing in relationships that enrich, work that fulfills, and actions that make a lasting impact. Consider the biblical story of Gideon’s Army , for example. 👇 During the seven-year oppression of Israel by the Midianites, G-d chose Gideon to free the people. Initially, Gideon gathered a large force of 32,000 men to confront the Midianite army. Howe...
