Business owners are built to react, but sometimes we need to find ways to keep our emotions in check. Meditation is one practice that can help on multiple levels because we learn to slow down and do nothing. Having a business owner’s mindset to stay busy and on-the-go all the time does not serve us well. My guest today shares how business owners can use meditation to improve their sleep, lives, and overall perspective. 

From Blow Pops to Forbes Best Small Companies, Rob started his first business in high school selling Blow Pops out of his locker. In 1991, he founded imageOne with his best friend, Joel Pearlman.  

imageOne has been recognized as a Top 25 Small Businesses in America on the list of Forbes Small Giants, an Inc. Magazine Best Places to Work, as the number one Top Workplace in Michigan, a National Best and Brightest Company to Work For, one of Inc. 5000’s Fastest Growing Private Companies in America, a Positive Workplace by the University of Michigan’s Stephen M. Ross School of Business, and Crain’s Detroit Cool Places to Work. 

 Rob is the visionary and CEO of The 10 Disciplines for Managing and Maximizing Your Energy, a video-based journey that teaches people ten fast, simple, powerful, and fully customizable disciplines to manage and maximize their energy and live an optimal life. He is the author of the best-selling book,  donothing,™ the most rewarding leadership challenge you will ever take and the host of the Leading with Genuine Care retreat and podcast. Rob challenges business leaders and entrepreneurs to look inward with mindfulness and meditation by sharing his own mindful leadership journey. 

Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production in collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group.
