Being True to Yourself: A Personal Triumph
And the fact that I had done something like this, it might seem selfish or egocentric. But how could it be egocentric, gentlemen, if I'm feeding over 100 families a month and giving them their job security? The fact that I fell in love and married someone in Costa Rica and built a business with her, learned a second language, followed my dreams. Just because I'm a dreamer and I'm a Renaissance man, it doesn't mean that I'm different. It's just I'm once again being exceptionally true to myself. And so I can look at myself in the mirror at the end of the day and raise my head up high, give myself five and say, good job, Richie. You did it again.

A collection of short stories & interviews to help you cultivate happiness. Hosted by Jake Pearson. Access the collection to be happier!
Fortune Favors the Brave
It's very easy. Fortune favors the brave. We've all read the stories. You need to leave a castle to slay a dragon. And if you get that dragon, then you can save a princess and eventually you become a prince. It's the sort of circle that you have to have there. If you're sitting back and waiting for these things to arrive at your doorstep, it may. But most of the time, no. You need to have some sort of incentive. You don't need to step on people's backs to get somewhere, but you need to have some sort of initiative. You can be bold and have some grit, especially in Australia. I love hearing those stories. You guys are very strong out there. You're very strong-witted and you're survivalists. And I believe that you make the life that you want. If it's brick by brick, then it may take a while. If things happen a little bit faster, then so be it. But in your mind, you must prepare yourself for forced marches. Whereas a dreamer, Jake, you might have to walk alone. You might have to be the only one that believes in your dream. And maybe it's almost like the philosophy of the candle in the darkness. Focus on the light. Don't focus on the spooky stuff that's around you because if you keep thinking about that, you'll get wrapped up in some sort of spider's web and then you won't be able to get out. Then it becomes too late. I think the best thing that somebody should do is their due diligence. Take deep breaths and meditate and ponder. And then you might be able to put your best part.

Thriving Through Positive Reinforcement
It's really not about me, my friend. It's really about the others. It's the positive reinforcement that I get. So I could think that I'm the greatest and I'm the one man party and show and I'm the king of the castle. But if nobody shows up for my birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, I have no friends. And so for me, being in business for 14 years, it's not about how smart I am. how clever I am. It's about the foundation of the people that come back here every day to work with me. And so thriving for me is when people say, good morning, jefe, or they become supervisors, or they've been with me for a year, five, 10 years, or I get a written letter from a client telling me how amazing my organization is. And so I feed off of the responses of others.
Transforming Negative Tone with Buffer Boomerang
I have a buffer boomerang technique where if somebody asks you a question, sometimes their tone could be negative. So what I would like to do is buffer your tone and make it positive. So I'd say, Casey, that's an excellent question. My name is Richard Blank. Reinforce it with the question, repeated what you said to show active listening, and then sent it back to you in a positive way. There's positive, there's buffer boomerangs throughout an entire phone call when someone asks you a question and makes a statement. So then let's say that your assistant's name is Susan. And I answer her question and she likes me and she's willing to transfer the call to you. Prior to that transfer to call Casey at your consulting group, I'm going to let them know that how amazing that they are when I speak with you. So I'm going to be giving a gift and moving with some momentum.

Walking Digital Corridors podcast guest Richard Blank. Can cold calling really hold its own in the age of AI?
Cold Calling vs. Social Selling: Navigating the AI-Powered Sales Frontier
As AI revolutionises the sales landscape, the debate is heating up. Is cold calling a relic of the past, or does it still have a place in a world dominated by social selling and automation?
Join us for a high-octane discussion on Cold Calling vs. Social Selling:
Navigating the AI-Powered Sales Frontier, featuring Alex, his sons Jordan and Jensen—both deep in the trenches of today’s sales world—and special guest Richard Blank, Cold Calling expert.

Can cold calling really hold its own in the age of AI?
Is the human touch still essential, or can automation replace it in B2B deals?
How can AI enhance the selling process without losing that personal connection?
You’ll hear Richard make a compelling case for why cold calling is far from dead, while Alex challenges its relevance in today’s tech-driven landscape.

The problem is that content marketing, social media, and A.I. are over-simplified buzz words. They are ALL short-term revenue growth hacks. Get rich quick schemes.
Branding, organic seo, online ads, email marketing, digital, traditional, funnel hacking, and automation will continue to leave you empty handed and depleted.
That won't change with your next contracted "yes man".
The Law of Abundance and the Law of the Harvest can work in your favor though.
Especially when you focus your life on serving others.
How can you better tap into the power of that truth?
Hard-work is to be embraced.
Entrepreneurs and business leaders that truly care about the people they serve see value in our approach.
If you want to make an impact that helps more people throughout this world, call me.
Sustainable revenue growth is the answer.
Why? Because hype is failing all around you.
96% of businesses fail within 10 years.
Tradition causes that.
But fads aren't the answer.
What can you do about it?
You need true growth, and it's not easy.
You need expert guidance to BUILD a real organization.
1. You must put your customers' needs first.
