“I used to equate things as failing and not failing, But really, everything is growing” - Ash Kumra (click to tweet)

We all know what it feels like to be hungry for success, to have a great idea or product we’re so excited to sell. It’s what keeps us entrepreneurs going, what gives us the drive to power through all the challenges.

Ash Kumra is award winning entrepreneur and has had his work twice recognized by the White House for it’s impact. He is also a public speaker, talk show host, and the author "Confessions from an Entrepreneur.”

Ash’s talking with me about how he became an entrepreneur, and his new project, Youngry, a media company focused on inspiring and elevating young & hungry minded entrepreneurs to thrive.

We’re getting into how to be transparent, the three things all sales require, and the importance of not letting your failures get into your head. Ash says all sales requires the same mentality, so no matter what you’re trying to market, this episode is a must-listen!

Bulletpoints:

• Crowdfunding is just like traditional sales in that you have to show people the value of your product and get them to want to be a part of what you’re doing.
• Don’t beat yourself up when you make a mistake. Think of it as a learning experience and move forward, otherwise it will become a limiting belief.
• Surround yourself with like-minded people who can encourage your vision and challenge you in the right ways.
• Focus on the project, not the product. Don’t get trapped in the minutiae of what you’re trying to do, but keep a strong hold on your vision.
• Work on strong communications and strong content. The best content will keep people coming back to your site and raise shares.
• No one is a self-made millionaire. Collaborations and meeting the right people are crucial to building your business and network.
• Find ways to build your brand through events, socials, media partnerships, and building connections.
• Give a lot of value before you sell. People need to know who you are what you do before they’re going to be willing to buy from you.
• 3 Things You Need to Show Your Customers to Make a Sale:  

1. Your Company’s Vision
2. Benefits to the Customer of Purchasing
3. Social proof factor
