Next Level University

We are living in a world where viral culture is “in” and people equate success and happiness with those who are going viral. Unfortunately, going viral or getting importance from likes and views don’t necessarily mean fulfillment. That’s what we want to hammer down today. We’ve been there. We’ve posted photos of our bodies not just for marketing but also to feed our egos. Take time to figure out why you’re doing what you’re doing, and if you’re truly happy with it.

“Safety is the ability to see around the corner.” - Nick Cavuoto

This is the first-ever guest episode of Meetup Monday and we’re very excited to have a good friend of ours and one of our mentors, Nick Cavuoto. He is the perfect example of someone who is extremely knowledgeable and heart-driven. He talks to us about entrepreneurship and shares valuable information for anyone who wishes to bring their business to the next level.

Since his early twenties, Nick has "the best kept secret" behind Fortune 500 executive personalities and decision-makers of multi-billion dollar brands like Microsoft, Paychex and Pandora. Today, he turns experts into thought leaders and mentors entrepreneurs on how to leverage their personal brand to dominate the “attention currency” of their audience. His work has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs earn over 1.5+ billion digital impressions online, 500,000+ leads, and $60M+ dollars in revenue. You’ll find him featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, and Gary Vaynerchuk’s blog.

One of the most common struggles that early entrepreneurs are facing is not having the confidence to say no. This is a skill and a practice which means you’ll have to do it constantly. You have to remember that as you become successful and as more opportunities come in, you’ll have to accept that there are things, meetups, lunches, and dinners that you’ll have to say no. It’s not because you don’t want to see these people or do these things, but you’ll have to learn to prioritize the ones that are aligned to your goals.

“You have to admit what you’re not in order to become what you want to be.” - Kevin P.

We’ve gone through quite a good number of questionnaire answers and we’ve seen some astonishing responses particularly on questions about self-confidence. Seeing someone answer “none” to all questions about "need help with" made us want to talk about the lies we tell ourselves in today’s episode.

Are you aware of the lies that you are telling yourself? Do you have the much-needed self-awareness to do something about it? At the end of the episode, we have a few questions that we want you to answer and reflect on, so make sure you tune in.

“The people who have the strongest opinions of what you should or shouldn’t be doing actually care about you the most.”

Carving your own path is very difficult because the people in your life who disagree with what you want to do will give you resistance. Understand that they are critical because they love you and love the OLD you. In today’s episode, we talk about the difficulties of having to be someone else just to keep love.

This is a hard and heavy discussion but it’s something that we all have to reflect on because no one can truly give us the “right” answer when it comes to who you need to be in order to keep love. This is something that YOU should think for yourself and make a decision on.
