A lot of you have asked me to talk about business, mindset, and marketing. I brought you the right person, we both started our journey around the same time, his name is Kendall. He has developed digital marketing companies, software companies, e-commerce brands & companies, and he’s the founder of Maybach Media.

Kendall has been an entrepreneur since a young age, even at 13 years old he was selling shoes on Ebay. He also played Lacrosse in high school while trying to find his calling. At the age of 16, he bought an SMMA course and figured that he wanted to do marketing full time. He studied and learned e-commerce by watching YouTube videos and reading books while going to classes. He got a lacrosse scholarship at the University of Florida, where he became aware of how much money he could make online.

He overcame a lot of obstacles, invested a lot of time and money to build his own company. Keeping your health on point helps conquer fears and become more confident, but the most important thing is to be consistent. Online courses, mentorships, and investing in yourself are tools that lead to success but you need to find the way to adapt them in order to optimize your business.

Everyday we are constantly exposed to all different types of media, many having contradicting views and agendas.

Most of the time, unfortunately, it’s all just negativity constantly being thrown at us.

We need to learn how to turn off this noise in order to protect ourselves and stay focused on what really matters, even if that means blocking your close friends on social media platforms.

Tune in while I go over why I think the media negatively impacts our lives and how to filter it so you are only exposed to stuff that will make you better, not distract you. 

The BIG Takeaways From This Episode: 

• Muting the Negativity  [1:35]
• Social Media Noise [2:40]
• You Have to Protect Yourself [3:18]
• Don’t Believe the Hype [4:40]
• Listen to Real Experts [5:42]

Memorable Quotes: 

• “I don’t follow any media that has the ability to make me react negatively.” (Parikchhit Basnet)

• “You can see something and be aware of it but a lot of times you can’t change that situation, so it’s for you to not even be aware of it.” (Parikchhit Basnet)
• “Every media in the world contradicts each other.” (Parikchhit Basnet)
• “The best thing you can do is choose 1 or 2 people that you are going to study and listen to and go from there.” (Parikchhit Basnet)

How To Keep The Momentum Going: 

There is good media and sources of information out there, but for the most part it’s just negativity from opposing sides that we really can’t do anything about ourselves.

Sometimes it’s best to just shut it out and focus on being a better you and how you can spread positivity.

Today we have a solo episode where I cover one of the most important topics of becoming successful, learning. I talk about how important learning is, why you should never stop learning, and the biggest mistake I see young entrepreneurs making when it comes to learning. 

One of the biggest misconceptions entrepreneurs have is that once you have a business, you can just keep growing it with what you already know. In most cases it doesn’t work like that, you have to acquire the knowledge to grow whether it be from books, videos, courses, or other investments.

The BIG Takeaways From This Episode: 

• Preface [1:19]
• The Biggest Mistake People Make in Business [3:25]
• Something I Recently Realized [4:05]
• Why You Shouldn’t Stop Learning Just Because You’ve Been Successful [4:57]
• What I’ve Gained From Going Back to the Books [5:52]
• My Challenge to You Guys [7:24]

Memorable Quotes: 

• “We take actions and what we do every day is based on what we know.” (Parikchhit Basnet)
• “Stay in the middle, be the person that takes a lot of action, but also takes the time out of their day to learn.” (Parikchhit Basnet)
• “There is always something to learn every day and every day something you learn can change your whole life. ” (Parikchhit Basnet)
• “What got you here, won’t get you to the next level.” (Parikchhit Basnet)
• “The ones that are growing, are always learning and always asking questions instead of letting their ego get the best of them.” (Parikchhit Basnet)

How To Keep The Momentum Going: 

Self-education is the key to continued growth in life and in business. If you truly want to get better at something or level up your business, you need to acquire the knowledge it takes to get to that next level. You can’t expect to level up only using what you already know otherwise you’d be there already. The more you can educate yourself, the more likely you are to succeed in all aspects of your life.
