The FRONT: A Leadership Podcast

This week's Live Leadership Lesson from the FRONT is with another great guest Edward Karram.

Edward is an entrepreneur, public speaker, business coach and the CEO of SELL-U.

After owning several businesses from restaurants, martial arts studios, to construction companies, Edward stumbled, almost by accident on to the financial services sector. Here is where he felt his true calling was. Facing numerous obstacles and powerful people who didn't like his direct approach and "Tell it how it is" honesty, he managed to build one of the fastest growing training platforms in the country, helping thousands of agents and advisers across the nation and the world reach their true potential, and generate a multiple six-figure streams of income.

You MUST watch this episode of THE FRONT. Edward is very genuine, well-spoken and brings a lot of wisdom and insight to the show tonight.

I really love the fact that he brings up more than once for success, people MUST be teachable. This is such a massive key to all of our success, not just in leadership, but certainly in life! So stay teachable!

I asked Edward what are three key characteristics for business or leadership success. He nails it here.

1. You must have belief. Belief in yourself, believe in your product. Have a strong foundation.
2. You must be driven to succeed. Keep going no matter what. You WILL fail, accept it, learn from it and move on.
3. And Edward says this is the most important. Do the things that no one wants to do, but must do, to enjoy success - BE RELENTLESS!

Such a good show! Make sure you click above and watch the entire show OR click down below and tune in to the podcast!

“Live Leadership Lessons from The FRONT” are live interviews with people that are known for their performance, work ethic, character, integrity, business skill sets, and of course their leadership skills.

These are the experts to tune in and learn from!

We hope you’ve enjoyed the show!

Today I am sharing with you two key items for success in business. Motivation and discipline.

Thanks for tuning in today to this episode of The FRONT.

https://youtu.be/d3GUpwEPKNE

 

Two keys to business success are Motivation and Discipline

This applies hether you are an entrepreneur, a business owner, a manager, or a supervisor, or simply someone that wants to reach a high degree of success for yourself!

Of these two, the first thing in my opinion that you need is motivation. Plain and simple.

Motivation is the general desire or willingness of someone to do something. Motivation is need (or want).

Secondly, you then need discipline.

Discipline is doing things until... It’s creating the habits to do the things you don’t necessarily want to do but you know you must get done to see your goal realized.

Tune in and watch, and please, share your thoughts in the comments. What do you do to get yourself motivated? How do you stay consistent and disciplined?

Thanks for watching!

I am thrilled and honored this week to have an amazing guest James A. Ziegler, The Alpha Dawg. I know that Jim will be bringing the FIRE during this Live Leadership Lesson on the FRONT.

Jim Ziegler, The Alpha Dawg is one of the best known, and well-respected names in the Auto Industry. A wealth of leadership and management knowledge (Probably too much for one show!), from a career spanning more than four decades! And he is always an audience favorite!

He is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) with the National Speakers Association, the highest honor, and award to be recognized by this association. He is a sought-after keynote speaker for his engaging and accurate information that he shares.

Jim is the ultimate student of the Automotive Industry. He is a foremost authority on automotive and has a proven track record in both his past performances and his predictions of what is to come next.

 

https://youtu.be/bT20LOetvlk

Jim is absolutely a living legend in the car business. With over four decades in the auto business, he has continued to learn, evolve, and re-invent himself many times. He is a true professional and an expert in so many ways in the auto industry.

When I asked about legacy, he commented that he said, “I am in the legacy part of my career… I want to really to have helped a lot of people, have people remember what I contributed.”

I like that when talking with Jim, he sharted a lot of tangible and applicable information that people can take and use in business, especially the Automotive Business. For example, Jim shared that he has four “E’s” in Zieglarisms (for management). And, I really liked his explanation of them, gotta watch the show to get his full description. Here you go with the basics:

1. Evaluate – you can’t change what you cannot measure.
2. Educate – train people.
3. Elevate – make every effort to bring peoples standards up.
4. Exterminate – If it doesn’t work, sometimes people have got to go.

Make sure you tune in and check out the entire episode. It’s 40 minutes of wisdom, insight, and all around great information that auto dealers, or really any business can use to level up their performance.

What are you planning? Planning for what's next ... 2019!

Everyone gets excited for the New Year and with it right around the corner, we start making plans and have ideas for what we want to do or be or achieve.

https://youtu.be/FGYNdxRdGUM

I’m going to ask today what is your plan?

1. Goals have to be definitive
2. Write things down
3. Tell someone
4. Have checkpoints with yourself
5. Celebrate small victories

Having a plan and having an idea is not the same thing.

The idea is “I want to lose weight this year.” A plan is definitive...  I will lose how much weight and by when… and then start writing.

Get specific!

This week my guest is George J Chanos.

This week I'm excited to be interviewing another fantastic guest for Live Leadership Lessons from the FRONT, the amazing George Chanos!

George J. Chanos, Esq. served as Nevada’s 31st Attorney General. He administered Nevada’s Department of Justice and acted as the state’s chief legal officer and advisor. He also successfully (9/0), argued the case of Warton v. Bockting, 549 U.S. 406 (2007), before the United States Supreme Court. 

Prior to serving as Nevada’s Attorney General, Mr. Chanos had a distinguished legal career, representing individual and corporate clients on all matters relating to the growth and management of their businesses. Mr. Chanos has a common-sense approach to dealing with problems and a unique ability to understand and explain complex issues.

George is an amazing individual. With such a colorful background. After suffering a major heart attack it caused him to reflect and sharpen his focus, turning his gaze to what it truly most important to him.

He began writing a letter to his kids to share lessons he had learned, to impart wisdom, his knowledge, and how he thought they could find true happiness. Before he knew it his letter exceeded 100 pages and became the book. "SEIZE YOUR DESTINY: Choices That Lead to a Happy, Successful, and Meaningful Life." (You can get a copy of George's Book HERE!)

I really enjoyed our conversation especially regarding impact and influence, and mentoring the upcoming generation of leaders. His philosophy on "picking up the mantle" to be a positive influence to our future leaders is truly admirable.

There is so much insight, and wisdom shared in this episode, you must TUNE in and watch this 30 minutes of absolute fire!

He closes at the end offering a "challenge" to adults everywhere to inspire, give back, and help by mentoring others.

The best way to contact George J Chanos is through his website https://georgejchanos.com/ and you can reach out to George on most every social media platform - Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter

His book “Seize Your Destiny” is available on Amazon.com and his second book “Millennial Samurai”, will be released in 2019.

Today is about the power of Positivity in Leadership!

https://youtu.be/4VtEWgKsx2o

1. When you communicate in a positive manner to yourself, your verbiage makes its way from the inside of you to the outside world.

2. YES, becomes your default mode.

3. Positivity creates results and results attract talent.

A positive mindset is more than just looking for the silver lining. It is actually changing the way you think and the way you speak to yourself first. It is truly searching for the “best” in each situation, that best possible outcome and how you can put up points that will create a win. When you do that you will start to first affect yourself, then affect your teams, and over time it will affect and grow your business.

With me this week on The FRONT is Cory Mosley, this guy is an all-around amazing business leader!!    Cory is an award-winning business strategist, coach, and speaker. He has been an entrepreneur since the age of 14 with business interests in the salon, laundry, business consulting, automotive, and confectionary sectors. Cory has a track record of creating 7-figure revenues, serving small business owners and successfully negotiating deals with major corporations like Volkswagen, BBDO, Urban Science and COX Enterprises.   Cory is an accredited Certified Speaking Professional with the National Speakers Association... and... he is an all around great person!  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuhFm6qjBhw

Cory is about big ideas and where he can go with others. He is about vision in business and going BIG. And he is focused on "the breakthrough."

One of my favorite statements that Cory shared was about tiering up. For example, if you are making $48,000 you need to tier up first to six figures, then seven figures, and then move up from there. You don't have the depth or experience to see Richard Branson level income from where you are living right now.

He shared that people need to be trainable and coachable, or they are replaceable.

This amazing piece of insight Cory drops near the end. You have to watch the entire episode! It's great! 

"What is it that connects your passion to your ability to create the lifestyle that you want?" ~ Cory Mosley

There is so much wisdom shared in this episode, you have to TUNE in and watch this 30 minutes of absolute fire!

This week my guest is Lisa Copeland!

Lisa is an amazingly influential and hardworking businesswoman! She travels the country speaking to small businesses, associations, and large corporations teaching methods that got her to the top of her field. She understands what customers want and how to motivate them to buy. And because she understands the buyer, she is able to coach the salesperson through a successful process!

Lisa has been featured in Bloomberg, Marie Claire, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Fox Business, The Street and many more!

https://youtu.be/r8CxXBJ3bJY

Lisa is all about influencing others, sharing knowledge and creating community!

One of my favorite statements that Lisa shared - was "To be a great leader you must have people that want to follow you. You have to root for and support your organization!" Bullies only make a boss, but they don't make great leaders!

"To get more done, and work less... get up earlier in the morning!" ~ Lisa Copeland

You must tune in and watch this whole show! Really great information on leadership, how to structure your day, and good candid conversation!
