Show Notes

Until someone sells themself as a salesperson, they are not going to do well at marketing.
People hate selling because they feel like they are talking people into buying something they are not committed to.
The really successful Entrepreneurs have a phenomenal ability to sell themselves before they try to sell other people.
Most people are trying to sell with an internal sense of conflict.
People feel overwhelmed in life because they are over obligated to things they are not committed to.
When you are completely sold on something that you are doing, people can pick up on it.
Once the conversation with yourself is good, the conversation with the world becomes better.
There has to be an agreement about the things that you talk about in a meeting. You must draw a distinction between dimensions and tangents. People can add a lot to a central focus from different dimensions but tangents take away from the focus.
Having a leader allows the group to circle back to the central focus of the meeting.
Write down the purpose of the meeting on a sheet of paper, along with what you want to accomplish and what the outcome is.
There are two things necessary for great performance: fear and excitement.
Figure out the ideal outcome of something before you commit to it.
Understand your success criteria, use measurable metrics so that when you hit success, you know it. The human brain loves numbers when it comes to measuring success.
The main problem we experience in the 21st century is too much choice.
The number one thing you have to do with your business is make sure the value creation proposition doesn’t require your presence.
Don’t get mired in the start-up, just go out and sell something.
The best place to start replicating and leveraging yourself is in your marketing.
Two things to protect as an Entrepreneur are confidence and gratitude.
Happiness is a skill that you can develop. Gratitude doesn’t have to be reactive, you can be proactively grateful by appreciating something for what it is.
You may not be in control of your circumstances but you can be in control of your responses..
