MBS103 - LIVE SHOW - The Sales & Persuasion Masterclass (Gilan Gork & Mark Keating) Apr 05, 2018

Howzit guys. So, last night we hosted another sold out live show this time in conjunction with two of the most exciting people in business at the moment - Gilan Gork (Expert Mentalist) and Mark Keating (CEO of Sales Guru) where we explored "how to use influence and persuasion to get what you want in business" in front of a live audience of about 150 people at the Mesh Club in Johannesburg. This show is a tad longer than usual and for very good reason. This subject of how to use persuasion and influence to make sales and get what you want in business has never been more important than it is today. You see, sales are the life blood of any business and the ability to make sales and sell your ideas to decision makers is a critical component of a business regardless of its size. One of the biggest ongoing challenges for businesses and entrepreneurs is to find new business and importantly, how to sell their ideas to decision makers. Over the past decade, many marketing options have been promoted as "sales prospecting tools" with very limited results. Huge tip here, nobody cares about you, your company or your products. They only care about if they can be better off on what is important to them through what you offer. Understanding how to influence and ultimately persuade someone to buy from you is the secret to sustainable sales success and business growth.And pay attention to the part of the show where Gilan influences the minds of the entire audience to predict a number… well, it’s just insane what this man can do and it’s about 20 minutes into the show and it perfectly illustrates just how important this subject is to you – yes that’s you listening to this right now. Remember, this event was streamed live around the world on my YouTube channel so if you’d like to get the visuals for some of the frameworks that were shared by Mark and Gilan please check out the video – simply search “Matt Brown Show” to pick it up. One more thing, at the end of the episode Gilan, Mark and the Mesh Club all give offers that I highly recommend you act on quickly.

Howzit guys, so as the saying goes there is no business-like show business. Last night at #CryptoKungfu we put on a show which was broadcast around the world and which featured three of the world’s most influential people in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. Tone Vays from the US, Adam Meister also from the US and representing Africa we had Lorien Gamaroff. We explored and debated the merits of bitcoin versus bitcoin cash and when I say it was a debate it really was a heated debate with Tone and Lorien having numerous shall we say differences of opinion about which coins are the ones to invest in and why. We also had a very active YouTube chat room so don’t forget you can catch the full video stream in HD on my channel. Simply search for “matt Brown Show” to grab the video and the chat room feed. So, without further this is what went down at #CryptoKungfu.

MBS097 - Joey Evans, From Paraplegic To Dakar [Sponsored by Entrepreneur Magazine] Feb 19, 2018

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

As entrepreneurs, we are typically working towards something – a vision of some kind – in most cases it is about obtaining more freedom, more status, more success; whatever success looks like to you. And as we pursue success, life has a habit of gifting us experiences and situations that we cannot control. Sometimes these situations are overwhelmingly positive but sometimes they challenge us to become more than what we are as businesses but most importantly, they force us to grow as people. When Joey Evans was told, he would never walk again, the vision and success he had been working towards was seemingly taken away from him in an instant. You know, when your dreams have cost you so much, dreaming a new dream takes great courage. But that’s exactly what he did, and it culminated in Joey completing the Dakar rally, a grueling 8,782 kms or 5,462 miles – a feat that only a handful of South African’s have achieved ever. There are so many powerful lessons here for entrepreneurs, and that is why I am thrilled to share with you this incredible story of one man who pursued his dreams, despite what life threw at him and a journey that would ultimately test the absolute limits of physical endurance and emotional fortitude.

MBS096 - Bob Skinstad - Partner, Knife Capital [Sponsored by Entrepreneur Magazine] Feb 07, 2018

Howzit guys, so as entrepreneurs and business leaders, being able to unlock growth is a key focus in what we do. Yet, many of us are seemingly stuck in the trenches every day taking grenades, and we don’t get the time or space to work on our businesses so that we can identify the things that truly can 10x our value in the marketplace. For me principles are a great place to start, and one of the principles is the 8020 principle. Now, the 8020 principle is one of the most powerful success secrets in the world — but provided you implement it. Most people have heard of it, few put it into action. So, I reached out to Bob Skinstad in London – Bob is re-energising an age- old principle by sharing a collection of real-life examples from highly successful people of 8020 in action. In this episode, we unpack the meat and the potatoes of how to implement high growth initiatives like the 8020 principle and explore powerful concepts like marginal gains used by the Sky cycling team.
