Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify This episode is about the value of commitment. In this episode I talk about how to be successful with anything we have to be fully committed to it. Life is not worth living if we are not fully committed to living it. We only need a ton of backup plans or options if we are not fully invested in our current plans. The goal needs to be to go all the way just like the predecessors before us and those who hopefully come after.

Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify “A lead (new client/customer) is like an ice cream cone on a hot summer day in the state of Texas.” People are not going to wait for you to help them and if you do not someone else will. Too often are we treating people like they have to wait on our time before we will help them when at the end of the day anything worth doing is to provide a fantastic service. When someone reaches out they need help NOW and they need the assurance that they are a priority NOW not later. If…

Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify In this episode we talk about how no technology can replace the importance of relationships. Technology is only something that removes the roadblocks to having better relationships. The important questions are “how quick can I respond? How can I provide value? How can I have a conversation that counts with every person I speak to.” These are just some of the questions we tackle here. The melding of great salesmanship and technology built around what people need rather than what we think we do. Learn from one of the greatest marketing professionals on the planet that…

Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify This episode is about why failing leads to success. In life we are often afraid to try new things. The key is beginning and being okay with failing. Life is not supposed to be easy and we are often going to fail at things more often than win which is okay. The real shame is never trying.

Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify In this episode we talk about having mentors that give their knowledge that took them years to acquire so that we can “skip the line” to success. This allows us to cover the value in failing BIG so that we can give that knowledge to the next generation as well as grow from it. We only truly fail when we stop trying. Because of this it has allowed us to mentor those with more life experience and sky rocket ourselves to places our peers have not been able to go. This is an action packed episode…

Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify In this episode I talk about how “It’s not your fault.” A lot of the time we hold on to things that only hurt us and cause us regret. It is okay to let them go and move on to the future. At the end of the day the past is the past and dwelling on the past will do nothing for us but cause us misery. We have to start with forgiving ourselves, the people around us and the situation to move on and create the future we want. At the end of the day…

Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify This episode is about how important it is to be a mentor to the next generations. We have to remember that we were them once upon a time so we need to listen. This is something that translates to every conversation we have where there is such a difference in listening and responding relevantly. We have to hear where someone is coming from before we can tell them where they should go. We also discuss sincerity in our actions and how being sincere allows us to reach people in a way that impacts them for the…

Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify This episode is about the value of surviving hardship. Every tough time makes us stronger and allows us to create more and work together. Through tough times we are able to relate and understand each other much better. These lessons teach us that we are all people just trying to make it and improve our lives. To create true wealth and success it must be made through hard work so that we learn how to maintain it. Without the hard times we will never truly value the good times. It is easy to take the good…
