Success Explained with Chris Guerriero

If you want to know how to be a leader – there’s 3 traits of EVERY great leader you need to know about.

These are leadership traits that can be leveraged to drastically improve the results you get in almost every area of your life, especially as it relates to being the leader of a business.

✅ How To Be A Leader - Leadership Trait #1: GREAT LEADERS LEAD BY EXAMPLE Great leaders know that whatever it is that you want in any relationship, whether it’s with your employees, or your business partners, or your friends and family – whatever you want, you’ll get it far faster if you lead by example and GIVE IT first.

✅ How To Be A Leader - Leadership Trait #2: GREAT LEADERS GET OTHERS TO TRUST IN THEIR CREDIBILITY Great leaders are constantly planting seeds in their life, and creating track records of doing certain things, so when they ask those same things of others – they have the credibility that goes hand in hand with a proven track record.

✅ How To Be A Leader - Leadership Trait #3: GREAT LEADERS MAKE EVERYBODY WHO FOLLOWS THEM BELIEVE THAT, BY FOLLOWING THEM, THEIR LIFE WILL BE BETTER.

To summarize, if you want to know how to be a leader, you need to know that being a great leader means LEADING BY EXAMPLE, and BUILDING CREDIBILITY IN YOURSELF and your cause, and creating a message that makes those around you feel like THEIR LIVES WILL BE BETTER by understanding what you’re saying.

Now being a great leader goes far deeper than just those 3 things, and I’ve covered leadership in much greater detail in other videos, but without these 3 traits NO leader will last.

It doesn’t make a difference if you’re a business owner, or an entrepreneur with multiple businesses, or an executive in someone else’s company, in this video I’m going to show you the #1 way to be more productive starting today.

In this episode I’m going to show you how to be more productive in business and top productivity hacks for business owners. I’m going to show you the top productivity hack that I personally use to run 11 successful companies when most people struggle to run one and it’s the same thing each of the leaders in my companies use to stay highly productive and I guarantee you that it’s not something you’ve ever heard before.

Now there’s a hundred skills you need to be productive and grow a business. Anyone who tells you can grow a business by reading a couple books, or by having a good idea, or by just knowing how to sell something, is lying to you. There is no shortcut, and there’s nobody who’s going to do the work for you.

The real dream, the one that I live, the one that everyone who sits on my board of directors lives, the one that anyone I know who is truly successful lives is having more than enough money to do what you want, when you want, BECAUSE you put the time into build something worthwhile.

I’m not saying that growing a business is as easy as watching some videos what I am saying, is that when you have access to THE RIGHT INFORMATION, it’ll open your eyes to how much growth you truly can experience. And that’s a very scary place for some people.

The message I’m hoping you take from this episode, is that it’s OK to be afraid in business but only for a minute. Today is your day to sprint ahead. I really hope you enjoyed this video on How To Be More Productive In Business.

If you are an entrepreneur and you want to know how to grow your business to 6, 7 or even 8 figures in the shortest time possible, then in this episode I want to share with you one of my top strategies to successfully scale ANY business fast… and PREDICTABLY increase your profit margins.

One of the simplest ways to grow your business and scale any company is using a process called Lateral Expansion. It’s not EASY, but it’s simple – meaning that if you follow a proven system like what I’ll show you here – you WILL get results.

And when we’re talking about Lateral Expansion to grow your business – those results could collapse time frames and help you scale more in one quarter than most companies scale in a decade.

The easiest way to define LATERAL EXPANSION – is to start by defining VERTICAL EXPANSION.

Because they’re two totally different ways to grow a company.

VERTICAL EXPANSION is the basic price of entry in business, and it’s what almost every business focuses on when they want to grow – they focus on increasing prospects, and increasing sales, and increasing LTV of customers.

And all those things are vital pieces of scaling a company, but they all cost a lot of money and take a lot of time to test…

LATERAL EXPANSION – on the other hand - is thinking outside of the box and using tools that most businesses either don’t know about, or don’t believe are possible, or just plain forget to use.

There’s several ways we’ve used Lateral Expansion to grow businesses and scale companies in my portfolio over the years – the 3 most common for us are:

1. Acquisitions

2. Building a Complimentary Company That Grows Your Current Company

3. Adding a Branding Asset That Massively Increases Your “Reach”.

Make sure you listen to this episode until the end to also hear about real life examples and tell me in the comments if you’ve ever heard of lateral expansion to grow your business.
