BZ Podcast Review 25: The Secret to Having Everything in Life
Key Takeaways
1. Whoever you are, be that individual. Be YOU. Be unique and genuine. Nowadays, people are trying to copy everything from each other and gradually they become the copy of a copy of a copy. What makes you stand out is to have your own style and stick to it. You can evolve it but in your own way. Be YOU and build your personal brand!
2. Entrepreneurs have a vision of starting a business, but unless they have a sale, they don’t have a business - they have a very expensive hobby. Everyone has ideas. You may have the idea of Uber even before Travis did and you may think of an app like twitter before Jack Dorsey did. However the difference is that they took action and made the sell, you did not.
3. Entrepreneurs have incredible ideas of what the world need, but there is something that keeps their ideas from the world. That thing is the FEAR of selling. Everything in Everyday life could be seen as one kind of selling. When you go to a job interview, you are selling yourself to the company; when you try to get your kids to bed, you are selling one bedtime story for his cooperation…Master Selling and you will find life much easier. See things differently from a salesman’s perspective and you may have a new angle of approaching things.
4. The fear is the entrepreneurial mountain, and you just have to click that mountain. Above the struggle is top of the mountain that the exponential entrepreneurs are hanging out. That is not the end of the journey. On the contrary, the top of the mountain is the new beginning. It is where you can see the other mountains you can climb and it is the place you meet hundreds of other climbers that who can mentor and help you along the way.
5. Don’t try to do everything all by yourself. you cannot and it is not efficient. Create a dream team.
6. No is the second best answer/response to Yes. It means you are talking to the decision maker and you have the opportunity to turn that No into a Yes.
7. I do not have a plus sign on my calculator. I only know how to multiply.
