In Today's Episode Henry talks about Mind Hacks to become a successful videographer

First Mind Hack Rule: Prepare to accept a new reality. Take joy in this.

A reality with new boundaries

Contractor vs. businessman: Don’t just be grateful, measure to know value CEO

Be humble -Make everything

Be emotionless -decision making

Rewire your brain to run towards opportunity

What are the main pain points? & What is the normal view versus the rewired version

Procrastinate

Nobody cares as much as you, it’s like a pimple you don’t go agonizing over someone else’s zit, only they are. So know that and use it as a pleasant shield from fear.. Don’t be afraid because nobody cares about your fears anyway. It’s like Kennedy said there’s nothing to fear but fear itself.

Scared of Sales Process

Need to calm down, focus on the elements you must learn to become a sales master

Prospected

Ignorant of sales process

it is not evil or a necessary evil, it is your life. Either live it or go lie down. Become addicted to learning, it’s the only way to earn. The more you learn the more you earn.

Not organized

You tell yourself “that’s just how I am, I’m an artist” -NO if you’re a videographer you have to be an artist AND a businessperson
