Our podcast guests for today is a serial entrepreneur of several seven-figure businesses, a virtual CEO, author, family man, and a motivational coach who aims to help entrepreneurs all over the world who wants to make a change in the world. We are about to go into his journey, the battles within him and around him, he needed to overcome, the mindset he’s in, and the leadership skills he honed to be where he is now. If you don’t take heed and apply what he shared in this episode, I am telling you, you are doing a disservice to yourself! Without much ado, let’s get on and take a peep inside the mind of Mr. Chris Ducker.

Early in his life, Chris wanted to become a pro basketball player. But basketball is not a big thing in where he lived, so he went on another thing. He wanted to be a publisher, so he did publish a magazine for about six or seven years which was called the Hong Kong superstars. As a true entrepreneur, he wanted to be a part of the solution. So he opened his first brick ‘n mortar business, a call center facility in the Philippines. It was a very successful venture and is still up to today, but it has caused him to burnout in a big way. The incident was a major wake-up call and Chris had drastic lifestyle changes in both his professional and personal life, which he shared in this podcast which may be the wake-up call you to need today. Sometime during this time Chris also started blogging and podcasting, which grew his online presence and pave the way to his other ventures, like his Youpreneur, Virtual Staff Finder, and him publishing a number of books.

We are very fortunate as Chris opened his life to us, sharing his wins, tips, programs, even his regrets and how he gets back up. We talked about the ins and outs of the remote working business, developing personal brands, and developing a strong mindset in achieving anything you may set your focus on. Gear up and take notes as I’m telling you if you don't do exactly what he said, 1. about not comparing ourselves and having this impostor syndrome, 2. figuring out who were the people that can help you get to your goal even faster, you are doing a disservice to yourselves and of course the people around you. Let’s dive in!

Here’s What You Missed

• The importance of finding or even building your tribe

Knowledge Nuggets

[11:53] To find it, the tribe, you've got to create, like to be able to attract the tribe, to be able to track people into your ecosystem, you've got to create regardless. You need to create helpful, valuable, original content that can genuinely help solve people's problems and give them answers to their questions.

[15:33] It's tough, but you can do it. You can do it through delegation, plain simple.

[22:11] It certainly helps to have family and those kinds of friends that is just going to give it to you real up front.

[23:16] On accountability: That's honestly what keeps almost all high achievers continuing to want to achieve more and to learn more. Like I often say that as leaders, we've got to continue to learn in order to continue to lead.

[29:07] On remote team: The beautiful thing about this is that we are not. Or we're no longer forced into a pigeonholed geographical constraints when it comes to finding the right people for the role, for which we're hiring for. So absolutely a business can be set up from the outset and built and grow 100% remotely.

[33:00] It's important to compartmentalize those individual aspects.

[39:18] You cannot, you should not compare your 10th step to somebody else's 70 and 80 or 200, whatever it is. They got more, steps on the road, they're already ahead of you because they started before you. You shouldn't be comparing yourself, you know, and that at the core of it, that's what imposter syndrome really is.            

[43:52] Consistency is everything like, make no doubt about it. Like you show up two times a week for your tribe online. Regardless of what you're doing, whether it's a, an Instagram live or, a Facebook live or a blog post or podcast, like what you're doing, like just show up consistently. Become somebody's favorite. ultimately the consistency will create that win for you at some point.

[44:58] Masterminds for me have been the biggest needle mover in my business. When you're investing in a mastermind, you're actually paying for access into somebody's program.

[48:19] We don't actually need more ideas. We don't actually need more content. Even what we actually really truly honestly need is more support and more accountability. We need someone to hold our feet to the fire when it comes to setting and getting our goals.

[50:36] Entrepreneurs do things to better other people's lives. Yeah. They're making money out of it, but ultimately that's what that at the core of every entrepreneur is that problem solver. And if you stop yourself from doing what you feel like you were called to do, you can never affect change in other people's lives because you didn't start it.
