In this episode, I discuss what it means to sell with conviction and based on facts; not BSing the prospect and trying to push lies for dollars.
It was 4 degrees out with the windshield at Eastern Kentucky University; the morning after a New Years Party. My head was pounding and I had the loveliest touch of cotton mouth. But after meeting my new buddy Jon and finding that we had drive + market finance interests in common I decided to see if I could get him to help me record this episode at Roy Kidd Stadium.
Could we have prepped for this better? Absolutely. It was Cold.
But we bore through it to get this short talk produced and got the hell out.
I actually went back the following day to get the drone shots because it wasn't as cold...
Dedication is a powerful tool; it doesn't always have to be Hustle, Grind and Drive.
Though they are very important and fun to use Buzz Words.
In this Episode, I discuss the simple fact that we all have the same 24 hours and if you want to achieve your goals and use the "I don't have the time" excuse - then you're not Making the time required to make things happen. Providing free value in your desired direction to get your foot in the door is one way to get what you're after, if you're always in it for Money (24/7) then you'll be discredited as being paid to care. Time Management is also crucial to understand. Which is exactly why I decided to hang out at Chenault Vineyards for this one. Follow @ #ShopTalkGuys

In this Episode, that is split I discuss Why Entrepreneurship Should be Taught in Schools; there are so many factors to consider and so many routes that could lead to an individual's personal success. I discuss this topic coming from a position of having gone through the traditional route and stopping midway to realize that it's not all it's chocked-up to be. I'm coming from the direction that exposes these (Normal Life) issues and discuss beginning down a road toward (Entrepreneurship) indestructible wealth.
In Part 2, I go more in-depth with a personal endeavorDynamic Results- Personal Training Studio, the process of understanding a financial education, What Assets and Liabilities really ARE and MEAN, and provide a few book samples I'd recommend.
Back in April 2017, I had the opportunity to meet with Justin Rudolph of Dynamic Results.
Suffice to say, we'd met here and there at meetings and networking events for the local businesses and Chamber based gatherings; so we were familiar with one another.
I'd come across his card and reached out for a proposition to see how I could help him grow his business based upon where he was in the cycle (his achievements, goals, desires and client base; most importantly: How Hungry was He?).
After listening to him for about 20mins (now I reflect back, it's been 4-5 months and we're going to be starting to grow his business based upon an internal restructuring plan), I knew he was the kinda cat who would appreciate expansion of his brand. I voluntarily met with him for months giving insight and helping him boost his repor with people and become visible by tweaking things. Now we have a calendar schedule for the next 2 quarters, the next year and 3 year plan for branding him and the steps necessary to get him there (including check points, value proposition and requirements).
But for me it all started with an interest in producing a marketing video for a personal trainer to boost their business and to add that valuable diversity to my portfolio of work.
Now/ unlike 4-5 months ago: I'm looking into being an Operations Manager + Marketing Director for him. I feel that him allowing me to represent his brand and our combined hunger to succeed and bring something more to the marketplace is a mutually beneficial partnership; this is the kind of mindset that sets leaders apart from followers.
In the next Post, ShopTalk 15: I actually feature Justin in Part 2 (Entrepreneurship in Schools).
