Alex recently had three deals fall through and he felt absolutely awful about it. He tried to ask himself how he and his team could have handled those deals better, but really there was nothing much for them to do. It's okay to let yourself be human and feel disappointed/sad/etc, but don't let yourself get stuck in that rut. Keep your head up and keep moving forward!

Key Takeaways:

• Alex is about to hit 200 episodes!
• Please leave a review on iTunes if you can! It helps out the show.
• Next week Alex is headed off to Scottsdale to attend a multi-level mastermind.
• It's important to be intentional about what you want.
• Recently, Alex had three deals fall through.
• Life isn't always going to go according to plan.
• You're either going to win or you're going to learn.
• Give yourself some time to be human, but don't get stuck in negative emotions.
• You have the power to control your thoughts and your feelings. Don't let anyone take that away from you.
• Remember, people are your assets.

Alex recently got back from a mastermind and took away some really good points. One of them being is that as the leader of your company, your job isn't 100% all about building the product you're selling; your job is to build the team. A good team will help take you way further than no team. As a leader, you want to bring your team up and serve/help them to the best of your ability, not just manage them.

Key Takeaways:

• It's important to implement good ideas right away. Don't wait!
• Are you thinking like a leader?
• As the CEO, it's your job to build the team, not so much the product. Your team builds the product.
• Don't just look at yourself as CEO, look at yourself as a coach as well. Provide your team with real leadership. Don't just 'manage' them.
• You want your team to be better people in life and professionally.
• Things get better in your life when you serve others.
• It's cliche, but true. Your network is your net worth.
• The quality of your relationships is going to directly impact the type of person you are and the type of life you live.

This is Ramon (Ray) Gonzalez's third appearance on the show! Alex and Ray go way back and this week's episode focuses on why mindset, surrounding yourself with amazing people, and holding yourself to a higher standard are so, so important for you, your family, and your business. Be sure to check back on the earlier episodes with Ray (links in the show notes).

Key Takeaways:

• Are your dreams for sale?
• When things get hard, instead of giving up, you gotta lean in!
• Hold yourself to your standards. Get people to call you out.
• You're never going to get more than whatever you think you're worth.
• Why does Ray love attending masterminds?
• By hanging out with amazing people, they help catch you and keep you to a higher standard.
• If people are not enhancing your life, why are you wasting your most valuable commodity (your time) on them?
• How do you turn an acquaintance into a true friend?
• Remember, relationships are built over time.
• People can tell if you're being fake or if you're being sincere and genuine.
• What kinds of benefits can you get from attending a high-level mastermind?
• When we pay — that's when we pay attention.
• You have to do your own pushups. No one else is going to do it for you.
• Make sure you're clear on what you want, not on what you think you want because you see other people's success.
• Ray is hosting a mastermind! Who is this event for?
• The growth process never stops. While we're breathing, we are growing.
