WINSTON: LOOK AT THE TWO SIDES OF THE COIN

“You change your story, you change your life. So just looking at everything that happens in your life, if it's a bad thing, you can sit there and look and say ‘Hey, these are horrible things that happened to me, and we all have those things.’ We all go through those issues and situations, but if you're going to look at the bad, you can't discredit the good that comes from that. What did you learn? How did you grow? What direction did that situation change in your life? How did you change and grow through that? So through every situation, I try to look at those two sides of every coin.”

RON: THE UNIQUE WAY OF USING LINKEDIN

“I used LinkedIn in a specific way. Like, if I'm making clothes for a client, I'll punch them into LinkedIn, then I'll see who our mutual connections are. Or, I'll see who their connections are in the same industry. And then I will then target that person in that same industry. And I'll use the referral name, a soft referral, but I'll say, I don't know whether you know this, but I also make clothes for and I'll name off three or four or five people in his industry that I know he would know. It's not like they gave me that referral, I will just mention those names to them, and so I can use LinkedIn all day long. That's kind of an endless means.”

ANDRE: HOLD ON TO WHAT YOU ARE GRATEFUL FOR

“When you find one or two things that you're super grateful for, and then you just piggyback off of that. We can always find something wrong, but if you can just find one little thing that's right, even with a bad marriage or challenge with kids, if you can just find one thing that is right about it, and just build upon that, it'll help change the way your thoughts are about the situation.”

YOUR SUCCESS: BUILD IT, GROW IT, OWN IT

Andre has always worked to give opportunities to people as he follows his win-win philosophy, and in this episode, he talks about how he got the idea of building the modern financial franchise. In the financial services industry, a franchise is a very uncommon business model, and Andre is the first one to execute it. For him, a franchise gives a sense of ownership, helping people to boost their pride in having their own business, and motivating them to work harder to perform better. Find out more of this in the latest episode of the Modern Financial podcast.

ANDRE: BOOSTING PRIDE THROUGH FRANCHISE OWNERSHIP

“When you said the word franchise, what's different about that is it gives people a sense of ownership, and I think when people have a sense of ownership, that pride level goes up tremendously, and as their pride level goes up, their workmanship will just continue to improve, it's because it's theirs, they have that sense that they want it to be better than anything else around them.”

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE THE SMARTEST KID IN THE ROOM

SEAN: BE PICKY WITH YOUR PARTNERS

“Pick your partners carefully, there are going to be times when you are in this mode here building your business that there will be a partnership presented to you. And, you know, after my experience, I would say very, very carefully look at that, like a marriage because you don't ever want to divorce. And if you do, it could get very, very ugly. So one thing I did learn along the way, is to find who is a good partner for you, and if it works, make it work.”

SEAN: 2 OUT OF 3 IS A VICTORY

“There are three factors for success - money, knowledge, and passion, and you only need two out of the three. Most times people have the passion, and then they can get the knowledge, but they don't have the money. So that is the key here. In my opinion, if you have two out of the three, that is perfect here, as long as you understand that you've got to have that hustle is the key.”

GREAT THINGS START FROM SMALL BEGINNINGS

What does winning mean to you? Did you start big or small?

Andre also talks about his win-win philosophy and the importance of finding your purpose in life, so make sure to stay tuned until the end of this latest episode of Modern Financial.

THE WIN-WIN PHILOSOPHY

“When I go through my process, and I guess you said it's subconscious, I don't know where that started. But ultimately, for me, I look at the whole situation, and if one person's winning, and the other person is losing that doesn't seem like it's a good business venture. It's like a forced transaction.”

FINDING YOUR PURPOSE

“It's really about finding that purpose and an understanding of what that purpose is for you. It may be different for other people, but once you've identified that, and you can run with it and it's something you're proud of and you feel good about. Well, then you're winning and the people that you're working with are winning and I love seeing people thrive around me it's been the greatest pleasure.”
