Let's talk priorities. We often fixate on solving problems and overlook bigger opportunities. 

Take it from my experience at Escape Climbing…focusing on fire-fighting detracted from seizing growth chances.

Lately, I realized I've been prioritizing urgent tasks over important ones. So for 2024, my goal is high-quality weekly videos on my main channel, despite the extra effort.

So, where are you allocating your energy? 

Take a sec to think about what truly needs your attention. Prioritizing matters.

There are a lot of elements that go into a successful sales call. 

One of those elements is having a winning framework. 

Now a winning framework consists of many different things such as tonality, cadence, etc.

Above all however is a bulletproof script. 

You can have the best tonality, cadence, verbiage, etc, but without a good script, where are you actually leading your prospect?

Now it goes without saying that a script alone isn’t going to solve your problems & turn you into a sales wizard.

What it does do however is act as a strong foundation upon which a successful sales call is built on, which allows all of the other key elements to fall into place with a lot more ease. 

In this podcast, I’m going to be going over the most powerful sales script that I have come across & explain to you why exactly it works. 

I hope you find it helpful. If you do, consider subscribing :)

Thanks,

I want to share a simple, yet powerful concept. We all seek a great life, right? 

But what if a great life is just a sequence of great days?

I stumbled upon Stoicism in my quest for life's meaning, particularly Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations." 

These ancient philosophers contemplated the same questions we do today. They were looking for fulfillment and purpose.

One lesson that resonates deeply is to focus on the present. What if today was your last day? How would you make it great? This is the key to a great life. 

Zoom in on the moment, do less but better, and live with intention.

We often wonder how building a business with solid systems matches up with creating a personal brand.

Back in the day, my focus was purely on money-making. I hustled transactional businesses, like window washing, then systematized and stepped back. 

But every new venture meant starting from scratch, building credibility all over again.

Then came the epiphany…personal brand matters. I began building it parallel to my businesses. 

Sharing experiences, lessons, and insights created momentum and credibility. 

It meant transitioning from obscurity to recognition when starting new endeavors.

A personal brand isn't as easily systematized…but it offers unique leverage. It invites opportunities and connections. 

While not crucial initially, it's a game-changer once you're established. It doesn't mean becoming an expert; it means sharing your journey.

Start by focusing on building your venture's value. 

When you've reached a certain level, weave in your personal brand. It's an investment in your future. 

Sharing your story isn't just for others…it's a personal growth journey.

I want to open up and share one of the most challenging lessons I've ever had to learn. 

It's a lesson I've had to relearn multiple times throughout my life because, to be honest…I'm a slow learner. 

There's something inside me that constantly struggles against this idea.

I’ve always had this desire to be perceived as confident, competent, and intelligent. 

Throughout my younger years and even into my 30s, this desire to be seen as intelligent led me into debates, correcting people…and sometimes even being a know-it-all. 

But there's a hard truth I had to come to terms with…there are no prizes given for being the smartest person in the room. 

I've realized that the rooms we want to be in are full of people smarter than us, not because we're inferior, but because we have so much to learn from them. 

So if you’re facing similar struggles that I did..know that you're not alone. 

Embrace discomfort, surround yourself with people who challenge your beliefs about yourself, and you'll find that you're capable of so much more than you ever imagined.
