Idea To Empire: Entrepreneurial Excellence Unleashed #MakingBank #S8E46

Welcome back to Making Bank. In today’s episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Justin Christianson, Ian Stanley, Tyna Moore, Cole Gordon, Brad Barrett, Robert Glazer and Sean Mccormick, and in this episode, you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about the guide to success.

(3:08) Justin Christianson

Desktop conversions are usually double that of mobile. However, average order values are now almost the same. The higher desktop conversion rate comes from the ease of browsing more products and viewing more options.

(8:09) Ian Stanley

When people hear your story, they’re not just listening—they're relating it to their own lives, reflecting on how it connects with their own experiences. They’re constantly comparing it to their own story in their heads. So, make your story relatable and engaging to create a deeper connection.

(14:20) Tyna Moore

The idea is that applying a bit of stress can help an organism thrive. Intermittent fasting embodies this concept by introducing mild, controlled stress to the body. As a result, the body adapts and responds positively, enhancing overall health and resilience.

(19:56) Cole Gordon

Structure your sales process to use Socratic dialogue. Ask skilled questions that lead prospects to reveal the key points you want them to understand, reinforcing the essential beliefs and creating consistency.

(23:13) Brad Barrett

He quickly said, "If you can remove your emotions, you'll be successful," and then moved on to five steps. I thought, "Wait, removing emotions is crucial! Are we robots? If you can do that, sure, but how?"

(27:32) Robert Glazer

Our differing perspectives on events can make or break our day. For example, in a car accident, while one might focus on the positives like insurance coverage, another might dwell on the negatives, shaping the course of their day accordingly.

(32:43) Sean Mccormick

In 2012, we opened our business from scratch, bootstrapping every step. With my partner and wife, we poured our savings into creating the kind of place we'd love to visit ourselves. That vision was our guiding force from day one.

Entrepreneurial Excellence: Vision To Victory #MakingBank #S8E45

Welcome back to Making Bank. In today’s episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Scout Sobel, Jonathan Keyser, Josh Elledge, David Baker, David Lekach, Kevin Harrington and Mark Timm, and in this episode, you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about the guide to success.

(3:09) Scout Sobel

Start creating a project, develop a product, sell it, and distribute it. Manage a small team, even if everyone works for free. This experience can be the biggest lesson of your life, giving you the confidence to know that you can achieve your goals.

(6:40) Jonathan Keyser

In the competitive world of commercial real estate brokerage, it often feels like everyone is fighting and scratching their way to the top. But here's a different approach: focus on helping each other succeed. By supporting one another, we can all thrive and achieve our goals.

(9:41) Josh Elledge

Sales isn't about convincing people of anything. Instead, it's about improving someone's life and providing far more value than what they're investing in you. If you can't do that, there's something wrong with your product or service.

(18:16) David Baker

Many of us believe we need to follow certain rules to achieve success, but there's always a small minority breaking those rules and finding different paths to the same success. Don't be afraid to forge your own path.

(22:05) David Lekach

Interacting with large retailers comes with its own set of challenges. There are pros and cons, and holding your own with these retail partners can be difficult. However, viewing them as partners, not just clients, can make a significant difference in navigating these relationships.

(25:44) Kevin Harrington

Many people approach deals with a "I need a million dollars for 10%" mindset, thinking only of themselves. This selfish approach is all about "gimme, gimme, gimme." In contrast, a good mentor like Mark puts you first, prioritizing your success over their own interests.

(30:21) Mark Timm

When you become your mentor's best student, they will double down on you. The key is to find the right mentor and then commit fully to being their best student. This dedication will open up greater opportunities for your success.
