Brofessional Development Podcast

As we start a new year, everyone is looking forward to being a better version of themselves. What areas do you need to improve on? How do you intend to remain persistent in hitting your goal? Any goal properly set is halfway reached. You need to know where you are going before you get there and be persistent.

 In this episode, we look at how we can keep ourselves accountable and where we plan to go in 2022. Besides, we discuss why we begin to fall off months after setting our goals, auditing our goals, finding a business, how you can leverage on debt, and also reflect on our growth for the past year besides our bank statement. Tune in for more!

In this episode

[18:53] Quotes on goals

[21:20] Auditing your goals

[23:46] Paying yourself and separating your personal expenses while in business.

[27:42]Goals for 2022

[30:41] Leveraging on debt

[34:22] Finding a business

[36:18] Biggest areas of change over the past year besides financial growth.

• At any level in every sort of business, if you do not have a process and you are not habitual in something that you do, daily, weekly, you are never going to hit those goals.
• The reason we do not end up hitting our goals is because we stop.
• In order to hit those goals, you got to stay on a daily test, weekly, monthly, and quarterly. You got to keep updating.
• It does no good having no debt if I’m planning on it making me more money.
• If you look at the super successful people financially, they are leveraging debt. That’s the only way to gr
• ow and build your cash flow positive.
• The goal is not just having a business and being like the face of the business. The goal is to have the business running without you and growing without you.

What comes to mind when you think of Emotional Intelligence(EI)? It involves understanding and managing your own emotions and those of the people around you. 

Emotional intelligence is essential for success. In this episode, we look at the key components of EI, IQ versus EI, and the biggest determinant of a high EQ. Besides, is it better to be street or book smart, and why do successful people have high emotional intelligence? Tune in to find out more!

In this Episode

[15:57] Quotes on emotional intelligence

[20:46] Five key elements of emotional intelligence

[32:40] Street smart vs. Book smart

[34:33] Feedback as the biggest determinant of high EQ

[40:27] Fake feedback

[42:19] Vulnerability and owning up.

• I can not offend you. Only you can offend yourself. This is how the brain works. I might be the catalyst, I say something, and you have thought about what I say, and that thought creates a feeling. If you’re training the culture of you can offend me, and I can offend you, then we are training them to be victims.
• Between stimulus and response, there is a space, and in that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In our response lies growth and freedom.
• When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic but with creatures of emotions.
• Making obvious decisions is not based on emotion but based on logic and trying to remove emotion.
• IQ is a good protector of who is going to do good in school, while EQ is a good protector of who is going to be more successful and happier in life.
• The strength of your emotions dictates the level of happiness and fulfillment you will achieve.

In today’s episode, Brofessional Development podcast hosts share their thoughts on the topic, Jack of all trades, master of none. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a Jack of all trades? And when do masters of none have an upper hand to a Jack of all trades? 

In This Episode:

[02:04] What’s going on

[06:16] Zillow’s home flipping disaster

[09:50] Rental Arbitrage

[13:18] Leveraging debt

[15:32] Quotes about today’s topic

[19:06] Why it’s good to be Jack of all trades

[21:10] Disadvantages of being Jack of all trades

[27:08] Circumstances to becoming the jack of all trades or master of one

[30:30] Adapt or lose your jobs to robots

[32:29] Jack of all trades the better player

[37:03] Creating multiple streams of income

• If you leverage debt correctly, you can make a fucking shit of money.
• A jack of all trades is a master of none. But oftentimes better than a master of one.
• I’m not a Jack of all trades. I’m a master of many. I don’t feel there’s anything I can’t do if I want to.
• If you wanna do something, go and do it. Do it well. Put some focus into it.
• When you’re developing your business though, you do have to be a master of all trades because you don’t have the capital or are able to employ a specialist.
• If you become competent, you create new neuropathways. New ways your brain connects things it wasn’t able to connect before.
• If you don’t have a job right now, it’s literally because you don’t want to work.
• If you’re going to dedicate time to something, when you’re there, be 100% present.

She is a multi-passionate entrepreneur who got into the industry at 20 and has never looked back. Emily is the founder of the Paper and Plan Co., an author for the best-selling cookbook, co-host of the Curious Me Podcast, and the founder of the Women In Business Workshop. Emily was our guest in Episode 12, where she talked about women in business and how to overcome the mentality that females cannot be successful. 

Today, she joins us to share about

Key Highlights In This Episode:

[02:51] What’s been going on

[04:01] How Emily is handling the troubled supply chain

[07:21] The greatest resignation

[10:15] How Emily built her company culture

[14:13] Women In Business Workshop

[17:33] Structuring your workshop to fit different people at different growth levels

[24:04] Setting an effective routine

[27:45] Adding the three critical tasks 

[21:29] Staying disciplined in business

[31:30] Writing and tracking your goals

[33:00] Figuring out what to delegate

[41:33] Controlling your emotions to perform at your best

[43:30] Only fans inquiry: Start/not start a business during inflation?

[47:24] Why you should start your own business

• It (supply chain) is a big issue and people are seeing it from all effects and it’s a trickle-down. So, if you haven’t felt it now, you will end up feeling it as a business owner. 
• Everybody here wants to win. Anybody with my company or has an affiliation with any of the businesses that I have, that’s what they want. We all want the same thing.
• I think that a lot of people are most exhausted by these massive 2,000 events. You just go and you hear somebody talking and that’s it. You don’t get to make connections and create those personal relationships.
• I don’t want to have 300 people there and they can’t make those one-on-one connections.
• It’s just so overplayed like the only way you can be successful or do anything is you have to get up at 4 am and stay till midnight. That’s not healthy.
• I don’t look at what I need to delegate. I say what are my priorities that nobody else can touch.
• Nobody cares what you’re going through. They care what you can do for them.

[35:20] Only fans inquiry: Finding a mentor

• It all comes down to building systems that make success more automatic for you. That’s what allows you to be disciplined in the eyes of other people and get great results
• If somebody has any ambitions at all, the reason why they are not successful is that they haven’t built systems that protect them from roadside bombs.
• You can’t be doing anything else in the morning but going after your number one priority.
• It’s not about the hour that you get up. It’s about what you do in the hours that you’re up.
• You want to go to somebody (mentor) because they know exactly the steps that they took. But most importantly, they know the mistakes that you do not have to make.

• Tough times never last but tough people do - Robert H. Schuller
• The first million is hard, the second is inevitable. If you’ve done something once, you have the skillset to do it again.
• You can’t build a skillset without getting kicked in the nuts a few times.
• You can have the greatest skill in the world. But if you do not have that mindset, hidden in there, you’re never going to be a little bit better.
• One of the things you have to have to be the best in the world in what you do is passion. If you don’t have passion for what you’re doing, then you’re going to give up as soon as you get to a challenge.
• The people that want that shit go out and get it. They have that growth mindset.
