Making Bank

Welcome back, everyone! Today, we've got an incredible guest lined up, Alden Mills, and he is going to blow your mind. Ever wondered how to turn a failing business into a $95 million success story in just three years? Well, get ready to be inspired because our guest is an unstoppable force in the world of entrepreneurship. Join us as he shares invaluable insights on mindset, building winning teams, shaping culture, and mastering the art of leadership. You won't want to miss this.

(8:40) Seal Entrepreneurs

Alden Mills was interested in bringing a product into the market, a product that would help people’s lives. While he was in the seal team, he would always improve some of the products that they were using. There was a high entrepreneurial mindset before he even went into seal team.

(14:35) Thoughts, Focus & Beliefs

Thoughts, Focus & Beliefs they inter-operate together to help you decide about taking action and taking on more decisions. When you’re starting a business for the first time three things are going to be new. Starting, failing and tiring. All entrepreneurs will have to face this.

(19:55) Mindset Map

Think of focus like a funnel that directs energy into taking an action. Thoughts come in three forms. Past, present and future. Whatever thought you decide to focus on is the one that will decide where you get your energy from.

(22:33) Passion And Purpose

You have to be passionate about whatever it is you're doing and you have to find purpose. If you're just passionate about something without purpose, then it’s more like a hobby. If you're super purposeful about something but you have no passion about it, you're going to get burned out.

(27:28) $95 Million In 3 Years

“We looked at the infomercial not as a business in itself but as an opportunity to do what I would call, Transactional Brand building. We're going to sell you a great product, you're going to be surprised at how good the quality is and then we're going to get sales through Word of Mouth and then retailers will want the product.”

(32:55) Envisioning

If you can't articulate what your vision is and get people to believe in it, then you’re never going to see it. The old adage saying, seeing is believing is incorrect. it needs to be believing so you can then see it because there's going to be something way Far Over Your Horizon and you got to believe in it before you can hope of ever grasping it.

(36:04) 3 Levels Of Leadership

The first level of leadership is you. it's leading you. Leading yourself directly impacts level two, which is leading teams. Teams are nothing more but the reflection of the leader. Then the third level of leadership is leading the culture of the organization you created. This is your legacy.

Welcome back to Making Bank. In today’s episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Pat Flynn, Jack Davis, Nicholas Kusmich, Henry Kaminski, Ben Malol, Yanik Silver and Warren Philip, and in this episode, you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about the guide to success.

(3:00) Pat Flynn

There will be millions of challenges and you may face so many failures. However, you can start it off by just getting over your own insecurities and overcoming the limiting beliefs and then tell yourself that this is something you could really do.

(9:03) Jack Davis

The number one thing you should learn is that things are going to change once you get into your company but that doesn't mean it's not worth it to really plan out what the next six months looks like. Always plan ahead no matter what.

(12:29) Nicholas Kusmich

Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. It's not an easy Journey. It's not filled with Lamborghinis and multi-million dollar houses. Don’t get swayed by how it’s presented. It's a difficult journey and not everyone is cut out for it.

(17:07) Henry Kaminski

You really have to delegate your weaknesses out. You cannot try to be everything to everyone or everything inside of your business. When you delegate out the stuff that you're just not good at you will get to where you need to be faster.

(21:23) Ben Malol

Doing what others tell you to do is sometimes very helpful, however you need to also be mindful of why you do it. Instead of just doing things that other people tell you, you also need to ask yourself why. Most people don't even ask that much.

(27:37) Yanik Silver

Learn to dive deep into what you are really great at. Know what you were meant to do. Ask yourself these big questions and then from that you will be able to figure out your mission in this world.

(33:45) Warren Phillip

Your business should thrive on providing solutions for individuals seeking assistance, and this should align deeply with your purpose. Recognize within yourself the sense of destiny because this will drive you forward.

Welcome back to Making Bank. In today’s episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Ross Hamilton, Pace Morby, Brad Barrett, Dr. Eric Holsapple, Rylee Meek, Cole Gordon and Greg Rollett and in this episode, you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about the guide to success.

(2:47) Ross Hamilton The world has really taken a huge turn into social media. It has taken over everything today. Nearly every business today is surviving because it has a good social media presence. You need to constantly amp up your social game.

(7:50) Pace Morby

Whatever profit you gain from your business you need to find a way to be able to use that profit to fund your life. If you cannot find a way to do this then your business is of no value to you.

(13:29) Brad Barrett Many great entrepreneurs are successful because of their love for creating something. The day you find yourself enjoying creating something rather than just consuming it, you will be able to become a successful entrepreneur one day.

(18:24) Dr Eric Holsapple

A huge part of your journey will only consist of you searching for the one thing you are good at. Try to find this ability as soon as you can. You will find success if you can use this unique ability of yours to match your passion.

(22:57) Rylee Meek

It’s not wicked to have wealth. Money is not the root of evil. It is simply a tool. Only if you have an obsessive love for it, is when you should check yourself. Also, remember that the wealthier you are, the more you can help others.

(26:30) Cole Gordon

Many people have the talent, but they fail to have the discipline. As a result, they tend to fall short of any kind of success. You need to figure out a way to be disciplined so that way you can start doing really good with the talent you have.

(32:27) Greg Rollett

You better get your life sorted out fast when you are still single. One day when you are married, everything becomes double the amount. You will realize everything is twice as expensive. Always be prepared for the future.
