You Have Been Lied To About Entrepreneurship...!!

If you've ever had the thought of starting your own business or being an entrepreneur, there are huge chances you have been deceived about what goes into it. 

Most people look to go into the world of entrepreneurship with the mindset of living life on their terms, or not reporting to a boss, or having their own schedule or making lots of money.

While those could be amazing in their right, people almost never talk about the ugly sides nobody wants to hear - simple because it isn't inspirational and often times discouraging.

But what if you know all these not-shared-enough missteps way ahead of time so you can fortress yourself against them? Would it be worth the try?

In this week's episode, I'm jamming with Ekow Mensah who's a Ghanaian entrepreneur with over a decade worth of experience in this game and he's going share the tales of entrepreneurship - the good, the bad, and the ugly

You're also going to find out why he likes women and why you should care if you're a woman

As always, don't forget to stay Arisen! 

I have been obsessed with studying what high performers do differently from the masses...

From Muhammad Ali to Barack Obama, from Jay Z to Aliko Dangote - and I've found the reason they're super successful in their own right and how lots of us seek insight and knowledge from them, is because they mastered how to stay very far away from THIS one dream-killing habit.

In my opinion, I do think every human being has that habit. But the question we should be asking is, "How did these high-achievers kill this habit before it killed them?"

...but, you can only kill something if you know what it is, right?

In our highly religious setting in Ghana today, most people almost always associate anything that kills people's dreams to a spiritual origin. As much as sometimes could be a reason for someone retrogression in life, there's a huge habit every human has regardless of your beliefs.

That's why you see religious and non-religious people become super successful regardless of their faith or belief. What's common is this habit they made sure was dead before it killed their dreams.

If you've been trying to live an Arisen life, you should probably have encountered several rejections along the path, right?

Couple months ago, I had plans on organizing an event and having Albert Ocran (Co-founder of Springboard) as a keynote speaker. If you know him, you know how busy he is and how difficult it is to reach him. Fortunately, we had someone who was willing to make us a referral to him.

I had to meet this person over at a restaurant in Accra and I was trying to convince him on why he needed to do that introduction for us - it was going all nice and smoothly until he mentioned about my certification as an individual. I thought that was necessary so I brought all important document to verify how I legit I was and what he said next just broke my heart...

"Albert is a serious man and I've seen your documents but you don't have someone of relevance and competence on your board of directors team..."

I was shocked that was his final conclusion after 10 mins of talking. I did have a lawyer, an accountant, and a banker on the Arisen team but he probably wasn't satisfied with those!

I wasn't angry but disappointed at what was going on.

You're going to find out on this week's episode as I share what to do in times of rejection and objection in your business, life, or career.

Enjoy, and as always, don't forget to stay Arisen!!!

If you listen to most motivational speakers, what they usually say is, "Success leaves clues", right?

So if you want to achieve success, find someone who's been there before and see what they've done and model them. If there's one industry that has been very successful, it's the airline industry.

They've been super successful in raking in monstrous revenue numbers because of one thing; second tier offers!

The first time I ever took a flight, all I kept thinking about was, how much luxury the first class/business class people were experiencing. I couldn't even enjoy my time because not only was I uncomfortable of the swings and the nauseous feeling I was experiencing, but also, the fact that, I felt cheated...

But the lesson here is very simple. If you don't have a second tier offer for your products and services or in your company, then you're in trouble

Your competition are going to dominate and leave you begging for the remainders. 

Find out on this episode on the www.arisenglobal.com/podcast on what you should do now to immensely skyrocket your profit numbers through the roof without creating new products.

You might be wondering...

Bhim nation? Shatta Movement?

What has that got to do with me on staying Arisen or exploding my business growth?

Short answer: It has everything to do with it!

I have been obsessed about looking for patterns that lead to success in our endeavors and there's this framework that seem to work across board whether you're starting a business or not...

I opened my online shop in 2017 and I borrowed money from friends and family to stay afloat but it didn't work. My partner left that venture because it wasn't profitable and it make no sense economically to continue.

But, I didn't!

I was hung on the fact that, I see people selling the exact same thing I was selling but I was making GHS0.00 while my competitors were making a truck-load of cash. 

I must admit, that tapped my ego a little bit and I started wondering if I was born to fail every time...

Then, I realized a huge part of the reason of my failure and it changed everything for me. It has everything to do with what these really successful musicians have done over the past years to grow and be better!

If you want to learn step 0 of turning an idea into cash in any economy even if you don't have money or the network... and it works even if don't know what you're doing...

I want to ask you this question...

"Why are you NOT talking about what you do?"

Now, your reaction to this question typically would tell you where you currently are in your relevance cycle as a human being - Do you have something that people will benefit from?

If you feel uncomfortable thinking about it, it's a good thing because one of my clients went through the exact same thing.

She had a powerful, literally, life-altering intervention with what she does but she wasn't talking about it.

Nobody knew what she could do and that pisses me off on my levels.

With my help, she overcame her fears and turned her worries into a moral obligation she owed to the society, mankind, and God. 

I believe in you as well and I know you have a message, story, product, service, idea that NEEDS to be out there. So this week's episode goes into how to fix that mindset problem to your advantage so people can benefit from what you do and who you are.

What's the best way to attract a flood of patronizers of your product/service/idea?

It took me forever to find an effective answer to this question. Funny enough, the patterns have already been established and you just have to tap into it. It's that simple!

We see these used all the time that we don't really appreciate the value it can bring to you and your business or idea. 

Think all the big brands in Ghana and beyond.

How do these brands continue to stay relevant even to this idea and how can you tap into this pattern and utilize it to your advantage ethically and morally?

On this episode, I share exactly how to do that and a case study on the results it can bring to your doorstep.

As alway, don't forget to stay Arisen!!!

I've had people argue over this topic and for a long time, I've been a spectator around this argument but today, we end this!

Most people get caught up in assigning titles and roles to themselves and most often than not, it sets them to outright failure. This might sound shocking to you and you may be asking...

"How does missing the roles of an entrepreneur or CEO set me to failure?"

Have you ever heard this before, "A CEO reads one book a week...?"

Now, most people who are supposed to be entrepreneurs and acting as CEOs and getting caught up in a learning loop where they keep on reading new materials because they've been told to read one book a day. 

As an entrepreneur, aka - the creative genius of a product or service, getting stuck in a learning loop doesn't only paralyze you but counters your speed to getting your thing out. 

There's a time when an entrepreneur is supposed to switch roles into a CEO and knowing this could set you up to massive success. 

I go very deep and share what the roles are and when to make those transitions in your business. Don't forget to stay Arisen!!!

I got pissed off when my business partner got disengaged into reading an autobiography of someone...

The reason I went bonkers wasn't because he was wasting time but because I didn't get why someone would be so obsessed with reading autobiographies of dead people

Just didn't make sense until...

...recently writing a piece of tribute for my grandma who passed on.

It felt as if the universe was whispering into my ears. For the last 4 weeks now, I've been overly obsessed with reading autobiographies that I've spent 200 cedis buying books related to this topic.

Richard Branson (The Virgin billionaire)...

Steve Jobs (Apple)...

and a few others...

But, you might be asking, how does getting obsessed with autobiographies help me to make more money, make an impact and live a legacy for your generation?
