Elevate With Jack Delosa

Whether you’re writing a book, a video or any other kind of content, I’ve always found that the response you receive will be determined by how much of yourself you put into it.

If you’re struggling to produce content that gains traction then I challenge you to go beyond the mechanics and create something from the heart. Put stuff out that is truly meaningful to you and watch as your audience smiles back. #AskJackD

I was fortunate enough to have a chat with Megan Quinn, CEO of Q&CO and co-founder of NET-A-PORTER, during our last Unconvention. Megan has more than 20 years experience in senior executive and consulting roles with organizations including Conde Nast, Harrods and CoutureLab. Since launching in June 2000, NET-A-PORTER has established itself as the world’s premier
 luxury fashion destination.

I’m not usually one to look back, however, to celebrate The Entourage’s 6th birthday today I took some time to reflect on the lessons I’ve learnt over the last six years…

A big thank you to everyone who has been part of the movement so far.

To my team who have enabled us to grow to this point, and to you guys, the community who have been there growing with us, every step of the way. Hears to another six years together.

Other People’s Time > Other People’s Money

Why?

One of the most valuable things you can do if you want to start or grow a business is leverage knowledge from people with proven results. Build relationships and use this to inform your decisions.

Do you have a mentor? If so, how has it helped you?

When I think back to my first business venture, I can think of three main reasons why I believe it didn't succeed. However, it is the lessons from failure that teaches us the most.

For me, success comes down to the two P's. Purpose and Progress. One of the most misleading factors that is commonly used to measure success is money. However, money does not reflect in any sense how successful you are on a personal level.

I’m SO happy someone asked today’s question!

I’ve noticed a lot of job shaming happening on social lately - people who say the only way to lead a successful life is to be an entrepreneur.

As an entrepreneur myself, I actually don’t think this is true.

Leading a successful life comes down to doing what feels right for you and what aligns to who you are.

Every human is as unique as their fingerprint and how you choose to engage in your life and career should be as unique as you.

If you're somebody with a dream, somebody who wants to succeed, somebody who wants to contribute to the world then you need to work incredibly hard. You need to hustle.

However it's not sustainable or productive to hustle all the time. You need to build in and ritualise pauses into your life that enable you to reconnect, rejuvenate and ultimately realign.

What are you doing this long weekend to pause? #AskJacKD

Today I continue a chat we had in the last live episode around failure and go through some of my personal experiences with failure.

Our society tells us that failure is a bad thing. That we should try to avoid making mistakes, if we get the answer wrong we’ll fail the test. However, as a business owner you need to embrace failure, you need to welcome it and become its friend. You need to be okay with the fact that you will probably make the ‘wrong’ decision most of the time. This is how entrepreneurs learn, there is no textbook.
