I've always said that about myself. I'm like, I'm just, I'm the person who makes makes it happen. And I didn't realize this, but there's so many power couples like that in the world today and in our past, like Walt Disney and his brother, Roy and Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Apple and Bill Gates. Paul Allen, how are entrepreneurs like us daring bravely to build a stage, ditch the sweatpants and step up to the mic? How do we create our own transformative events so we can get our message out into the world in a bigger way? It's not only profitable, but it's actually something we can be proud of.
That's the question, and the answers are inside this podcast. My name is Sarah fafer, welcome to Greenroom Central.
Okay, for the next few months, this podcast is gonna be a little different. I spoiler alert, am moving this summer, which is going to be so fun, and we're taking our sixth annual favor family road trip, summer road trip. And so because of all that, I knew my life was going to be crazy, and so I decided not to do interviews for you this summer. But what I wanted was for you to still get a fresh hot now episode every single week.
So I decided to look at my audible and my or my apple Notes app, which is where I take notes on every book that I've read, and put together a book review series for you. And each week, I'm going to bring you a new book that I love and recommend, and hopefully you'll find something in here that you want to pick up. So without further ado, here's this week's book. If you've been spinning your wheels and not seeing the results you want, kind of like I was for many years, then I think the visionary integrator duo might be the missing piece to your entrepreneurial puzzle.
So I want you to keep listening, because you're gonna learn how figuring out your role in that power couple play can take your business to the next level. So today we are talking all about the book rocket fuel by Gina Wickman and Mark winters. This was a crazy Aha. So I was recommended this book recently because I was sharing where I was struggling, and the person I was talking with had this major Aha. They're like, I think, I think you're a vision. I think you're an integrator. I think that's where the like, I think that's the missing puzzle piece is that you need to be connected with a visionary. I was like, What are you talking about?
And so I read this book, and I instantly felt scene, in fact, that that there's so it starts off with kind of an overview chapter, and then there's a chapter on visionaries, and then a chapter on integrators. When I read read the integrator chapter, I was like, Oh, my goodness, that is me to a T. So the whole concept of the book is exploring the kind of the partnership between visionaries and integrators and how this it's a powerful combination that drives business success, and it's all about understanding whether you're a visionary or an integrator, and Knowing that can help you find the right business partner and really tap into your strengths and leverage those and so it talks about how visionaries are big picture thinkers, and integrators are the executors who make things happen. I've always said that about myself.
I'm like, I'm just, I'm the person who makes, makes it happen. That's me. And I didn't really realize, I didn't realize this, but there's so many power couples like that in the world today and in our past, things examples like Walt Disney and his brother, Roy Disney and Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak at Apple and Bill Gates and Paul Allen at Microsoft. And it started me thinking like, Hmm, maybe there is something about this. Maybe I do need to understand who I am better so that I know how my strengths play out in the entrepreneurial space, and help me find the right partner to complement what I bring to the table.
And so it goes into this whole like, like. Said it has like a chapter on the overview, and then a chapter on visionaries and a chapter on integrators, the visionary one, you know, it's, I want you to go read it so that you can kind of identify which camp you fall into and and it's, it says that kind of high level visionaries are idea generators, risk takers. They're big picture thinkers. They constantly chasing, kind of one of those, like, we'll build the plane while it's flying, like, I'll go sell it and I'll figure it out how to fulfill it later, kind of thing. Whereas integrators are detail oriented.
That's me, excellent in managing and executing plans. That's me adept at problem solving. Again, that's me. I had someone run a battery of personality tests on me once, and they said you're the type of person that could be handed any sort of problem in any sort of industry and be told like, this is the thing that needs to be solved. Like, go solve it. And and then they were like, I bet if I told you this, you know, here's a problem that needs solving. Can you? Can you help me make it happen?
You would say, All right, let's get started. And like, Yep, that's me to a T and that that's an integrator. So I think, I think, you know, the more we know ourselves, the better of service we could be, it in service of our dreams and in service of others. And so I think this is just one more piece to the puzzle of knowing ourselves. And I want to encourage you to pick up this book and determine which one are you. And I think it'll help. It'll be eye opening, and then it the second hat the book like the first three chapters are kind of all about like, okay, which camp are you in?
And then after that, it's kind of how to operate, and giving some structure to that, and which is also super helpful. But even if you just read the first three chapters, to be illuminated to this being a thing that I think that would be super helpful for you. Okay, that's all I have to say about rocket fuel. I think it's a must read, especially if you've been feeling like you're spinning your wheels for longer than you, quote, unquote, should have been or if you're growing fast and feeling like maybe juggling all of the balls doesn't feel quite right anymore and isn't going to be sustainable, this would be a good book to pick up.
So next week we're going to talk about 12 week gear. It's this whole process for planning in 90 day chunks. And I'm going to give you my take after reading that book and let you know if and how I've implemented it so far. So I'll see you next week for that Convo. Make it an outstanding rest of the week.
