Show Notes:

We've worked with many successful people over our careers, and many of them go on to achieve even greater success. Meanwhile, some people continue to struggle in their businesses, never quite reaching their full potential. The thing is that what people struggle with seems to be universal: We hear it all again and again. We've identified the common traits that set apart those who succeed from those that struggle.

If you can embrace these five traits of successful entrepreneurs, it can quickly shift your results for the better.

Enthusiasm and passion

Enthusiasm doesn't mean being loud and bubbly in public — though, honestly, that can help. It means that when you describe your product, when you do your marketing, or when you tell someone what you do, people can feel the passion in you. If it doesn't come naturally to you, don't worry: enthusiasm is a muscle you can build. So get pumping.

Messy action

Time is your most valuable asset. You don't need to know everything before you start. As long as you have some idea of what you are doing, you can figure out the rest as you go if you are just taking action. And chances are, you'll learn it even faster.

Unapologetic asker

Many people are so focused on providing value to others. That's great! But how would you provide value if you never knew what people needed? Let's flip it around. How great would it make other people feel to know that they are providing you with something you value? That's right: fantastic.

Collaboration

Collaboration is the shortcut to success. Collaboration in your business, your social media, and your marketing will fast-track you to success. Focus on networking and partnerships and help others grow while helping yourself. Instead of looking up to the titans in your industry, look to the people at your level and you can all level up together.

Consistency

Statistics show that people have to see your offer 7-8 times before deciding to buy from you. With how hard it is to reach people, you need to take action daily if you want people to see you enough.

You can learn all of these on your own. You don't need anything to start doing these things.

Show Notes:

Ramit Sethi returns one year after everything changed forever to talk about how the pandemic has impacted the career and finance world. He's the author of "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" and a personal development expert with a website that gets over a million monthly visits. We leverage his experience to talk about how money management has changed since the pandemic hit, what "K-shaped recovery" means, how job and career advice has changed, and whether or not you should be looking for a new job or house right now.

Question Highlights:

What is the biggest predictor of financial success?
What are the biggest changes in people's finances that you've seen since the pandemic hit?
How has your advice changed in this post-pandemic economy?
What can people do today to change their outcome?
Why have you shifted to talking about the job scene?
What do you do when your partner is in a different career season?
What systemic changes can we make to align wages with the cost of living more effectively?

Guest Bio:

Ramit Sethi started iwillteachyoutoberich.com while studying technology and psychology at Stanford. Since he came from a middle-class family, the only way he could afford college was to pay his own way. That's when he built a system to apply to 60+ scholarships. His hard work paid off, and he earned enough to attend Stanford. But when he got his first scholarship check, he invested it in the stock market… and immediately lost half the money. Oops.

That's when he decided to learn how money really worked.

While studying psychology and human behavior at Stanford, he saw all these "tips" that financial experts kept throwing around — like "Keep a budget" and "Stop spending money on lattes" — and realized most of it made no sense. He also realized experts loved to tell people what to do...but nobody was actually doing it.

Instead of saying "no" to spending on everything, he wanted to use money to say YES. He knew there was a better way to live a rich life — if we could use psychology to focus on what actually works. Not just for personal finance, but all aspects of life: money, careers, relationships, business, fitness, and more.

Since then, he's been testing and sharing his findings with the world via I Will Teach You To Be Rich.

He has also written a New York Times bestselling book, been profiled in a 6-page Fortune article and pictured next to Warren Buffett in Forbes Magazine. He has been featured by a long list of media, including the Wall Street Journal, ABC News, NPR, Fox Business, PBS, CNBC, and more. He also has more documented success stories than anyone else he knows — more than 20,000 at last count.

Choosing your perspective

Show Notes:

Is money good or bad? I'll give you my answer upfront before I explain my reasoning: Money is neither good nor bad. It is simply what you choose to interpret it as. And how you interpret it will dictate what action you take, and what action you take will determine whether it was the greatest time of your life or the worst time of your life. So start choosing the perspective that will empower you and ignite you to take action, and you'll be on the side of the coin that talks about how great these times are.

Show Notes:

When you stop doing the hard stuff, life actually feels harder. It's not always easy to do the things you need to do to live the life that you want. But if you skip out on the hard stuff, the rest of your life is only going to get that much more difficult. Doing it may be the hard part, but the reward makes life easier.

There are a couple of psychological tricks to help you face a challenging day. One is to block out the impact of how hard it's going to be and instead focus on how it's going to feel on the other side. You can also choose to feel grateful for everything you have in your life — including the things afforded by those hard things.

You also need to acknowledge the season of life that you are in. Sometimes what you desire is on the other end of doing something you don't want to do. If you enjoy personal space, but you have a goal that requires you to momentarily give that up, acknowledge it upfront so that you know that this is only temporary and that it will be worth it.

Life is going to get hard. That's unavoidable. But it's up to you whether the hard things you do in life lead to a more comfortable life on the other side. Pick the hard you want in life, and don't let the drive to live easy lead to frustration.

452. The Humbleness Sweet Spot! Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

The two types of people on social media
Finding the humbleness sweet spot
The 50/50 rule
Not judging others' motivations

Resources:

Text FAST to 310-421-0416 to join my Fast Foundations mastermind group

Show Notes:

Social media tends to do one of two things: it makes us brag and show off way too much — which turns people off — or it makes people so afraid to show up and be judged that they hide everything that they're doing. Being humble to a fault doesn't do anyone any good.

We've all seen those people that are posting pictures of themselves in lamborghinis or next to their private jets, showing off how luxurious their lives are and selling you a lifestyle that they probably aren't even living themselves. This runs rampant on social media and it creates the impression that people with money are all conceited. This causes people to not pursue the wealth they deserve because they don't want to be perceived that way.

That brings us to the other side of the coin. Some people are just way too humble when it comes to money. They don't show anything online because they don't want to be judged — for what they have or what they don't. They mean well, but they miss out on the opportunity to inspire others and give them someone to look up to, to show them what level of success is possible and the work involved to make it happen.

This leads us to finding the "humbleness sweet spot." Being able to show people what's possible, inspiring others, but not doing it in a way that's embarrassing or paints success in a bad way. We should all strive for finding this spot, because it's by no means easy to judge. You'll make mistakes — I know I have. But when we find that spot, we can all do great things.

451. Are You Caught in the Middle? Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

In This Episode You Will Learn About:

Whether or not you're 'stuck in the middle'
Why being stuck in the middle hurts
Purposefully upping the stakes

Resources:

Text FAST to 310-421-0416 to join our Fast Foundations mastermind group

Show Notes:

Are you trying to get things done without going all-in?

This doesn't affect the people who haven't made a commitment and are doing nothing or the people who are already all-in. This is for the people that have a lot of potential and are working hard for their dreams, but a part of them still wants a different life — and they're allowing old habits to hold them back.

If you want a change in your life but you're still stuck in your old ways, you need to burn the ships. Up the stakes on your new life so that you have no choice but to keep moving forward. That may mean taking investments in your company so that you have to create a return for your investors, but doing extreme things in your life requires extreme action.

Show Notes:

Jordan Harbinger is a former Wall Street lawyer turned podcast legend. His current show rakes in over 11 million listeners per month and was featured as part of Apple's "Best of 2018" awards. Not coincidental to that success is the fact that Jordan is an incredibly talented networker. We do a deep dive into his "Connect Four" method of networking and how networking has changed in a world without live events. We would also be remiss to not discuss how to grow such a successful podcast, how to monetize it, and the future of the industry.

Question Highlights:

How did you get kidnapped twice?
How did you get into podcasting?
What is it that you're doing that makes your show so successful?
How do you think Clubhouse will affect podcasting?
How are people supposed to network without in-person events?

Guest Bio:

Jordan Harbinger is a Wall Street lawyer turned podcast interviewer with an approachable style and knack for securing high-profile guests. His show, The Jordan Harbinger Show was selected as part of Apple's "Best of 2018."

Hailing from Michigan, Jordan was an inquisitive kid who was fascinated by the internet at an early age. He went to law school at the University of Michigan and landed a job on Wall Street as a corporate lawyer.

Jordan wasn't interested in climbing the corporate ladder. But he was curious about a partner who was never in the office. Dave spent his days at charity events and playing racquetball. How did he keep his job?

Dave told Jordan that he brought in business for the firm. To do that he didn't sit at his desk: he spent his time building and managing personal relationships. After hard work and intelligence, Jordan felt like he was learning a "secret third path" that nobody ever talked about.

This kicked off an obsession with body language and non-verbal communication, persuasion, influence, social psychology, and networking. When he started uploading what he learned to the web, he inadvertently became one of the first podcasters.

Today, The Jordan Harbinger Show has over 11 million downloads per month and features a wide array of guests like Kobe Bryant, Moby, Dennis Rodman, Tip "T.I." Harris, Tony Hawk, Cesar Millan, Simon Sinek, Eric Schmidt, and Neil deGrasse Tyson, to name a few. Jordan continues to teach his skills, for free, at 6 Minute Networking. In addition to hosting The Jordan Harbinger Show, Jordan is a consultant for law enforcement, military, and security companies and is a member of the Northern California Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.
