1. Stop being judgmental and you stop worrying about others judging you
2. Write down the good things over the last 10 years
3. Create a power phrase that instantly transforms your thoughts
4. Look in the mirror and like the person who is looking back at you

You are good people start acting like it.

At first, I didn’t want to go back to networking. I thought I’d grown beyond that. But back in March 2020, I had an idea. I texted Kevin at 4:14am to create a virtual networking group.

Fast forward almost two years later, and here we are!

Calling all current and aspiring company owners! Your company is a brand and your brand is you. Getting your voice heard and your brand known is vital to your growth, networking, and sales.

While pursuing my sales career, I grew my network in Fort Worth, TX, and its surrounding area. But when I first launched Success Champion Networking, my prior work didn’t exactly just carry over. I had to rebuild from ground zero.

Introverts, we're speaking directly to you. Kevin is a self-declared introvert but still closes deals and is a pretty incredible salesperson.

When Kevin came into sales as an introvert he learned the techniques he needed to have conversations on sales calls. 

Instead of focusing on closing deals, he explains how to build relationships by having real conversations, asking all the questions to learn about their problems, and providing solutions.

Listen as Kevin tries to dispel some myths about introverts for Donnie:

Hiring all-stars to build your starting lineup.

If you’re a sports fan, you know you need a team that will get you to the Championships. You need a championship-caliber starting lineup.  

The same applies to your business. Your starting lineup is what will take you all the way. Hire and train your team as if it were your championship team. You don’t put together a team to win games; you put them together to win the World Series. 

Have you selected the right starting lineup to take you to the championships?

As you build a business, you have to keep your thoughts in check as you press forward if you want to succeed.

Owning a business is a mental rollercoaster with all the ups, downs, twists, and turns you never saw coming or even imagined. On top of that, this rollercoaster never stops. If you don’t have mental discipline, you’ll find yourself wanting to jump off mid-ride, which is basically suicide.

If you’re feeling like this, you’re not alone. Even the greats of business will tell you they’re constantly wrestling with the good, bad, and ugly - life happens. I really want you to recognize that social media is a highlight reel, not reality, and it’s important for you to know that even your idols or masters of business have bad moments, days, even weeks.

This is why it’s super important for you to surround yourself with other business owners.

We've all encountered slimy salespeople. You know the ones. They skip the small talk, go from zero to sixty in a split second, and you have no idea what is going on. They are often so eager to get to the end that they skip the foreplay and just go straight to the climax.   

Sex (AND SALES) is not about the climax, it's about the chase! STOP SKIPPING THE FOREPLAY! Here’s where you learn how to communicate effectively with people and find that deep connection. This is what’s key in sales! You need to have that connection with clients.

And if you do this, you’re going to get laid “close the sale” more than anyone else in the room.

In building my business, one of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned was about the idea of setting traps for yourself. It came from a buddy of mine who set a trap for himself when he told his daughter that if he closed one deal a week, that’s 52 deals in a year, he would take her to Disney over Christmas.  

And then one week, he missed and didn’t close a single deal that week. His daughter came up to him, as she did every Friday and asked if he closed a deal that week. The look on his daughter’s face when he said no was his trap to get his ass together. He closed two deals that day and continued to every week after, just to make sure he didn’t have to see his daughter’s look of disappointment. 

They made it to Disney! And his story was one of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned.

So, what is a trap? Think of it as a next level of accountability, providing consequences and rewards for getting stuff done (or not).

I’m talking about feeling real accountability, where you have a consequence and a win to make things happen. It’s a deal (a trap) you make with yourself to keep you moving forwards towards your goals. Why? Because you cannot always rely on being motivated every single day.

You are way more capable than you give yourself credit for.

What’s holding you back?

Here’s a little secret for you. I didn’t figure out the living for myself stuff until I turned 40! Like me, maybe you are living and building other people’s dreams, not your own. Maybe you aren’t sure what your life should be like. I get it.

It wasn’t until I started taking risks, betting on myself, and believing in myself that my life and business changed! No longer did I hold myself back by limiting beliefs. My fear of failure was one of these limiting beliefs.

When you have the perfect product/service to launch, all that is missing is who you are launching it to. Before launching, you must ask yourself and your business who your ideal client is. Who do you want to work with? Is your product or service marketed towards that client?

Identifying your ideal client is the key to selling your product or service effectively. We call them client avatars. Once you identify your ideal client avatar, you can then decide who you want to work with, as well as who you don't want to work with.
