  • Ideas are only valuable when they’re executed.
  • For every level, there’s another devil.
  • Shifting from an employee mindset to an abundance mindset

  • Why you need to balance your focus between business and your personal life
  • Episode Highlights:

    An Aligned Marketing Approach

    At Farotech, they do two-month gap assessments for clients where they do a deep dive into their business and develop a three to a five-year roadmap. Part of the process is asking the 5 Why's to really get to the heart of why they're doing something because your product needs to align with the emotional reason of why it needs to solve this certain problem.

    Shifting from an Employee Mindset to an Abundance Mindset

    When you go into a sales deal, act like you have a million dollars in your pocket so you're going to live free. You're going to do and see things in a different light, instead of walking into the room feeling desperate. And when you don't have to worry about where your next paycheck comes from, you're able to dream a little bit bigger.

    Bring Your Ideas to a Higher Notch

    Ideas are easy. What’s valuable is the execution of those good ideas. If you can't execute an idea in the most efficient, productive, intelligent way, your ideas are trash. It's not going to make money and it's going to take more energy and effort.

    For Every Level, There's Another Devil

    Every time you get to that next level, there's a different challenge waiting for you. And this allows you to have empathy for people at the lowest level and at the highest level. And if you can come to expect these problems and know they're there waiting for you, then you're not going to be thrown off guard. You've got to be prepared for it as best as you can.

    Balancing Business and Personal Life

    Love your business but not enough to miss out on your relationships. Be the person who figured out how to be good at both.
