Beyond The Hustle

"If you're looking to grow a company, it's like deciding to go on a really long run. So, usually most people after 2km they say "I'm done". Then some people quit after 5 km. And there are some people who just don't wanna quit, they want to run the marathon. It aches, it hurts, and when you get to 21 km your body says "you can't go on", it becomes really hard, but after that, it becomes easier. Some people want to go all the way to 100 kilometers. The same is true for business. For some people 2 million, 5 million is enough. Some get to 20 million, and only 1 in about 5,000 businesses ever scale to 100 million. For me, 20 million was like the 21km mark. I was stuck there for a long time. After you grow past that, it becomes easier. It's easier to scale when you're at 100 million than when you're at 10 million."

They say when you join a Mastermind, that you should aim at being the "dumbest" person in the room. That's exactly how I felt after spending a full day with highly successful people at the Mastermind.com offices in Scottsdale, Arizona a few days ago! It was one of those masterminds you can't buy your way into, as it was for the top 20 affiliates from Dean and Tony Robbins' last big launch. I got to hang out and learn from Pace Morby, Krista Mashore, Eben Pagan, Rachel Miller, Dean Graziosi and many other fellow mastermind participants!

Tony and Dean are doing another amazing 5-day event this year and you can sign for FREE right here: https://ownyourfuturechallenge.com/freechallenge?source=podcast&a=81

"The way we create significance is by creating the conditions for people to make promises and keep them. To create the conditions for people to do work that they're proud of. The best job they ever had. If it's not the best you ever had, you get a better offer, you're gonna leave! What makes it the best job is that there's a journey, a quest, a mission. The way we talk to each other, the way we are trusted, that makes it the best job we ever had. The bosses that are insisting that people come back to work in an office so they can put them under surveillance, I think you need to do that if you have a bakery, cause you can't bake from home. But, in general, I think if we're working with ideas, distributive work is so much more efficient and so capable of magic, that it's a mistake to walk away from it."

Seth Godin is the author of 21 international bestsellers that have changed the way people think about work. His books have been translated into 38 languages.

He is the founder of the altMBA, the social media pioneer Squidoo, and Yoyodyne, one of the first internet companies.

In this episode you'll discover:

• What inspired Seth to write this book and manifesto at this time
• The best way for Managers to become Leaders
• The surprising result of a survey he conducted asking people what's the best job they ever had.
• The one question Seth has never been asked before... and his answer
• How AI is shaping the way we work and do marketing
• And so much more!

"What you wanna do in order to sell more products, get elected, or whatever it is that your agenda is. You want to own the problem. So whoever owns the problem of making a headache go away, is gonna sell more medicine. Whoever owns the problem of getting you from point A to point B in a quick period of time is going to dominate the transportation industry. For all of us Entrepreneurs, the most important thing you can do is figure out what problem you solve and communicate it and articulate that solution very very clearly to that problem, over and over and over again, until people have connected in their subconscious that problem with your solution. The key is when they experience that challenge or frustration they think about you."

"One of the things that I'm known for is "the Mullet Marketer", it allowed me to break through in a significant way. As soon as I decided to push myself to being out there and being "the Mullet guy", that's when my business took off. So identify within yourself who do you want to be and what can make you different. Embody your target, be your target and service your target. Some people, when they're first starting out, they try to hold themselves to a certain standard, but what people really want is authenticity. It's all about alignment to the target, people want connection."

CJ McMahon is the founder of Mullet Marketing, a company that specializes in growing and scaling high ticket businesses. In just a couple of years, CJ and his team have helped over 650 businesses scale, and he's also a partner in 15 companies. Through social media, paid traffic and social funnels he has been able to grow and scale not only his revenue, but also his clients.

"I think we're in the midst of some new macro trends. For the past two years there's only been two macro trends: digital identity, or profile picture collections, and generative artwork, both are favored by the market. I think that the data shows that those are the only two areas that are truly favored by the market. If you look at how much liquidity has gone into those two areas of NFTs, it's really hard to make a case for anything else being a true macro trend. If you look at Bored Ape Yacht Club there's literally 713K+ ETH worth of secondary market volume. Doodles, another 160K ETH. That's billions of dollars in these collections. If you look at Chromie Squiggle, a generative art project, there are 60K ETH of secondary market volume. There's a belief that generative art is going to be a big movement in our history, and that buying these is buying the foundational early pieces that will eventually be priceless, similar to a Picasso."

"No matter where you are in your life right now, no matter what situation you're faced with, challenge, hurt, upset, uncertainty, or insecurity, there is a way to break beyond that. There is a way to create external abundance and internal peace at the same time. It's not always easy, but there's a process if you're willing to take the steps, if you're willing to take the journey, and you're willing to have courage in the process. And I want people to know that they can have so much more internally and externally than what they have now and the process is in the book."

"The only belief that matters is if you put your time and energy into getting better at something, you actually will get better. The reason, is that when people feel lost, stuck and hopeless, is because they think that where they're at is a permanent state. But it's not, if you realize that where you're at is a reflection of the choices that you have made thus far and your current skillset. However, you can make different choices and get a different skillset. That just completely changed my life."
