Episode 15 – Bob Sager
Today's guest is Bob Sager, an American inspirational leader, coach and network marketing professional. He's the founder of SpearPoint Solutions, a company that offers both companies and individuals, training workshops and coaching on "implementation of personal achievement and practical innovative thinking".
He grew up on the verge of poverty.
At age 10, he asked his parents for something – he doesn’t recall exactly what – and they told him they didn’t have the money for it. Then he decided to earn the money and buy it himself. This fact proved important in his personal development.
In his mid-20’s he became a self-employed real estate agent, He did that for four years. This taught him the self-discipline needed to thrive.
After the real estate business, he spent 17 years in the financial services industry.
It was seeing over and over both clients and representatives sabotage themselves financially what frustrated him. He then began to seek the answers to why people do the things shouldn't do and why they don’t do what they should do.
Some years of research in the psychology of human action led him to some breakthrough discoveries. So, after a 17-year career, he left the financial industry and started a company to teach what he just learnt.
The need for faster and more consistent business growth pushed him to research on creative thinking.
He then discovered a technique that Einstein called ‘combinatory play’. Almost immediately he began to produce high quality ideas using this method.
Eventually, employing these techniques, Bob invented the innovative/creative thinking game, "What’s The BIG Idea?", which is now extensively and successfully used in his trainings.
He's also the founder of Meaningful Connections, a business networking by conference call/conference app platform we use to help connect LinkedIn community on a deeper level.
Quotes
"My tribe are people [that] understand the benefit to themselves and others for adding value in every circumstance. Regardless of 'what's in it for you'. Because it all comes back to you eventually, anyway. Plus a little more (...). It's human nature to go 'what's in this for me'. But that leads to short sightedness"
"There's a difference between knowing about something and actually knowing it. And the difference is conscious contact with it."
"People, even the ones that set goals - they're setting goals based on one of two things. Either, what they think they ought to want, or what somebody else wants them to want. And they're not really setting their true goals."
"Our goal is to change, at least, on a minimum, a million lives over the next ten years"
