Episode 34 w/Austin Josie

Contrary to popular opinion, Austin Josie, owner of EVIG Marketing and Rize Academy, does not believe success has to be fast-paced. Success, to him, is about checking the goal posts slowly – one forward step at a time, introspecting and reflecting on the lessons learned in your journey so far.

Leaving behind his accounting job to pursue his marketing interest, Austin founded EVIG Marketing. With considerable knowledge in two business domains – accounting and marketing – which most entrepreneurs lack interest and information in, he already set himself for the success he later enjoyed with the business. Thanks to his excellent networking skills, sometime down the line, the owners of the Ritz company approached him for their marketing needs and ended up proposing to him to co-own their company. Today, as an entrepreneur who's tasted a wealth of success, Austin reveals his biggest success clues, including his driving factors other than money and the importance of moving at a pace that doesn't burn you out.

Tune in to learn the secrets to exceptional marketing and entrepreneurship and the powerful role of networking in it.

 

As I say, "Your network determines your net worth." It transformed Austin's life and could do the same to yours!
