How to deal with rejection? | #AskDavidMeltzer 20 Feb 20, 2021

Show notes

The three universal law of "no's" is the ultimate blend of persistence and patience. During a sale, if you receive a "universal no" that can be a missed call, simply forgetting about it, or a verbal "no".

After the third "no" I will let them know, hey it seems like right now is not the best time, if they call back, great. If they don't, they just did you a huge favor.

Is college worth it? | #AskDavidMeltzer 19 Feb 19, 2021

Show notes

I get this question all the time, and my feeling about college is, if you can afford to go, why wouldn't you go? If you don't invest in yourself, what are you ever going to invest in. College is an extraordinary opportunity, and the social aspect of college is special. However, I would not suggest that someone go to college if it is going to put you in deep debt.

If you can afford to go, you will have the time of your life, but if you just want to learn, you can access all the information in the world online for free.

How do I find the time to "do it all"? | #AskDavidMeltzer 18 Feb 18, 2021

Show notes

People always ask me how I manage my time or how I find the time for all the activity in my life and I always tell them to be a student of their calendar. There are three things you need to study on your calendar, not just look at, but study.

1. Study the things you have planned for the day. Look to create efficiencies with your habits. For example, I have a 5/20 Rule, where I try to schedule five-minute phone calls and keep my in-person meetings to 20 minutes, which ultimately promotes a more productive conversation.

2. Study the white space of your calendar. How can you schedule more of those five-minute calls or 20-minute meetings? How can you be more accessible to those who might need you? And don’t forget to ensure you schedule downtime for activities that you enjoy, which I call “activities you don’t get paid for.”

3. Study your sleep. It not only is the restorative process, but it enhances your immune system, which is of the utmost importance. You need to build a consistent sleep routine that helps restore not only your physical being but your mental health, as well.

How to Scale a Business | #AskDavidMeltzer 17 Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

There are three phases to scaling a business:

Phase 1: Learning Stage

During the learning stage, introduce your values to new members of the team. It is vital that all employees are aligned with the values of your business. Help your team connect to what inspires them, and they are more likely to live by your business’s values.

Phase 2: Execution

In the execution stage, employees learn to maintain proper balance in achieving the company’s mission. Having a motto or mission to guide employees during this stage is important for success in a values-based business. Think about your overarching goals and what you want to accomplish. How can you make your mission into your story?

Phase 3: Partnership (Equity)

Once an employee shows commitment to these values, that opens up the door for the partnership/equity phase, where employees are rewarded for their dedication, success, and the revenues they have brought into your business.The partnership stage allows you to reinvest in your most successful (and aligned) employees and also helps to retain these individuals.

How Can I Find the Right People to Help Me Break Into an Industry | #AskDavidMeltzer 16 Feb 16, 2021

People always make the excuse that they don't know anyone that can help them break into their industry of choice, but how many of them are consistently asking, "Do you know anyone that can help me?" Most people have over 1,00 people in their network, so by simply asking one person a day if they know anyone that can help you, you can expand your network by over 30,000 people a month.

Why am I so vulnerable with the mistakes I've made? | #AskDavidMeltzer 15 Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

One of my favorite quotes is from the poet David White, "Vulnerability is not a weakness, a passing in the position or something we can arrange to do without vulnerability is not choice. Vulnerability is the underlying, ever present, and abiding under current of all natural state."

In order to be vulnerable, we must illuminate our mistakes. Being vulnerable means that you are honest and accountable, especially when analyzing yourself. We need to know what we are good at, what areas we need to improve in, what we're hiding, our flaws, our experience where shame lies, we must be accountable and look within our ego to be truthful with ourselves.

Simply put, being vulnerable makes you invulnerable.
