#GNPYear2 Episode 1 - "Dream Toolbox" with Ken Aldrich (@dream_toolbox) Sep 12, 2019

Show notes

“Know what you don’t know and figure out how to get it.” - Kenneth Aldrich

Todays featured bestselling author is serial entrepreneur and funder of seed-stage companies, Kenneth Aldrich. Ken and I talk about his book, the power of language and more!

Key Takeaways:

The degree may get you your first job but the rest of your career will depend on your knowledge and work ethic.

“You don’t know what in somebody else’s life will turn out to be inspirational for you.”

Train your mind to see yourself as successful and do it regularly.

The fear of failure is one of the biggest deterrents to taking intentional action.

Don’t let fear cheat you out of success.

One question to ask yourself is “What’s the absolute worst thing that could happen if this doesn’t turn out well?”

Most times the answer to the above question may not mean much besides lost time, money and possible embarrassment. If you have great relationships that can help you overcome most of these.

With new endeavors, you will either succeed or learn.

It’s all about how you look at life’s challenges.

Persuasive language is one of the most powerful skills to have in your arsenal.

Learn to use your language well in written and verbal form.

“Procrastination is the thief of life.”

Procrastination is born in fear.

Always set new goals after achieving past goals.

Most of us don’t dream big enough.

Show notes

“You can’t call something a distraction unless you know what it’s distracting you from” - Nir Eyal

Today's featured Wall Street Journal bestselling author is speaker, consultant, and active investor in habit-forming technologies, Nir Eyal. Nir & I talk about his newest book, ways to combat distractions and more!

Key Takeaways:

The root cause of all distractions starts from within all of us.

“Time management is pain management.”

“If you don’t plan your day, someone else is going to plan it for you.”

Know how to use technology to benefit you instead of inflating you.

You are more powerful than you believe.

Be the person that becomes indistractable not the person who lets their attention and behavior be controlled by others.

“If something is doing, it’s worth putting on your schedule.”

“The world has a weird way of introducing you to individuals.” - David Ritz

Today's featured bestselling & award-winning author is ghostwriter, biographer, and lyricist, David Ritz. David and I talk about selling yourself and how he became a ghostwriter for Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Grandmaster Flash and tons more!

Key Takeaways:

Ghostwriting is sort of like acting because you are playing the role of another person but through writing.

Every book is a different challenge because it’s a different character.

Never let rejection paralyze you from getting your work published.

A ghostwriter’s job is to listen. Listen to make a living.

Selling is something you can like when you believe in what you’re selling.

A ghostwriter should write the book that they want to read and not the book they want to write.

“Don’t go crazy and try to make a living.”
