GrowthReady Podcast with Steve Mellor

Our natural tendency as competitors can be to carry our burdens and plow forwards despite the warning signs. But there is a simple formula en route to success and starts by not only requesting help, but learning how to receive it.

It was a pleasure to visit with Founder & CEO of Treppendahl Landscape, Rob Treppendahl on this episode to learn all about his career journey and the powerful lessons he collected along the way that made him the successful competitor he is today. 

Within the conversation, Rob allows us a front row seat into his story of shame, optimism, and getting help. While the hole he was once in seemed too deep to climb out from, he and his business emerged for the better. 

ROb delivers great insights within our discussion including: 

• The need to seeing circumstances exactly as they are
• How optimism can drive even the darkest circumstances 
• Why receiving help is a true catalyst for personal and professional growth
• How the systems we create can serve our ultimate goals

You can learn more about Rob and everything he is doing now by heading to https://www.robtreppendahl.com/ and feel free to reach out directly to him to let him know what you thought of the episode

We all have insights and stories that could offer value to others, and yet, too often, we choose not to share them.

Our guest this week ensures there is no excuse for an expert to not share their expertise to the masses as we welcome Vikrant Shaurya to the show, founder of Authors on Mission (authorsonmission.com) where he helps budding authors not only get their book to market, but provide all the necessary support to optimize the release and sales too. 

Vikrant is a living example of his own methods having seen his first book to a best selling status after only a 21 day process from idea to publishing. Furthermore, Vikrant believes this is a competitive advantage for all professionals and business people within their respective industries to draw a level of legitimacy and respect to help set them apart. 

Within our discussion, Vikrant and Steve discuss:

• How to work through the overwhelm of an idea
• Acknowledging that your time carries a value
• Showcasing your passions and expertise
• Why writing a book is just the first step in building a competitive advantage
