[01:12] What has made him what he is today.  

[01:27] He left prison with $25 in his pocket.  

[08:17] Drive has taken him to where he’s at.

[13:00] Without sales the world would be full of cool things no one knows about.

[13:56] If you’re not a sales guy, hire someone. Set a pay structure in which they get paid every month, so you get a month of work

[14:25] Second person you need to hire is someone that supports you and the sales guy.  

[15:17] His first sales funnel was with loan officers.  

[18:22] Just start with one thing (like a landing page). Don’t get hung up on having “everything”. Get moving. Get momentum.

[18:51] Once you’re in motion, life will start showing up and providing.  

[20:03] Adopted at age 7 and ran away from home at 15.

[20:27] Learned his parents weren’t going to help. Learned not not to rely on anyone.

[21:41] Decided to do it on his own. He feels free. He doesn’t feel like he owes anybody.  

[25:15] Next goal: make $21 million a year.  

[27:12] Same people have been controlling the world of many years. If he helps create more millionaires, things can change because they will exert influence to make this a more business friendly planet.

[33:10] There’s room for everyone in the market.  

[36:30] What he thinks of the future: most sales jobs while be gone.

[36:47] You need to be building the systems that are replacing salespeople.

[39:49] The word ‘special’ ignites narcissism since it might mean that your are better than someone else.

[40:03] We are not ‘special’ we are ‘different’. We are all created equal and we are all created differently.  

[41:27] Most of us spend our lives doing something other than what we’re programmed to do, and don’t get fulfillment

[42:02] Legacy he wants to leave in the world: a man that  accomplished everything he was told he couldn’t. Leave products that changed people’s lives.

 

Three key points:

 

  1. If you’re not a sales guy, hire someone. Set a pay structure in which they get paid every month, so you get a month of work
  2. Once you’re in motion, life will start showing up and providing.  
  3. There’s room for everyone in the market.

[2:16] The driving force is connecting others to have a positive impact

[3:30] The moment he felt compelled to share his story

[6:47] You are a vessel

[7:47] What his big cause is: pain to power

[8:07] In all pain exists a gift, a lesson, an opportunity.

[24:45] When you’re inspired you’re “in spirit”

[25:39] If collectively people want to make an impact there has to be clarity and criteria

[26:31] The hard part is executing to achieve what you want in life

[27:20] The resources are there to help you achieve anything. The hard part is execution

[28:46] Focus on whatever you’re doing. Wish you were better, not that it is easy

[29:03] Become 1% better every day.

[31:17] We’re designed to function at high levels in some areas of level

[44:38] Markets are big

[45:28] Freedom vs. responsibility - two sides of the same coin

[05:54] He’s lost everything twice..

[06:18] Took him over 20 years to write his first book.  

[06:30] He’s scared to do things but he’ll act in spite of it.  

[06:42] His successes have come on the back of challenging circumstances.

[08:39] Today’s marketplace rewards authenticity, vulnerability, integrity and credibility more than any time before.

[14:37] As much as he owns Tony’s books he’s never read them.  

[18:09] One of  the most lucrative things you can do with a book is give it away. The worst thing you can do with your book is sell it.

[19:26] The book is bait. It’s the beginning, not the end.  

[32:20] The best time to put your book out is right now.

[00:06] Introduction to Eric Barker, from Barking Up The Wrong Tree

[00:32] His book just came out. Purpose is to dispel myths of success.

[2:14] Before the explosion of the internet information was harder to come by, but the sources were more legitimate.  

[3:23] Eric wrote for Disney and Fox.  

[5:21] Everybody talks about being more confident, but there is a problem with too much confidence that no one addresses.  

[6:30] People can do just as well without the downside of narcissism on the Buddhist concept of self-compassion

[6:43] Self-compassion has all the benefits of self-confidence

[8:07] The problem with being focused on being confident is that confidence is contingent on achieving the goals.

[8:34] Self-compassion means that you will see things realistically and you’re going to have self-compassion when things don’t go well.

[10:39] Believing that you’re “the best” creates an imbalance of who you think you are and who think people are

[11:12] Confidence impresses people, but doesn’t make you likeable

[12:05] Biggest struggle for Eric at the moment: work life balance

[13:45] Collapsing metric – measuring success in life based on one thing (money, job, etc.)

[19:05] Key: producing content that is valuable to readers

[20:27] Give people something they can really use

[24:23] People are going to demand more filters

[25:48] How he keeps deadlines and enjoys life.    

[27:54] Framework. Longest time he spends on a blog post. Shortest time he spends on a blog post.  

[30:01] He was reluctant to produce original content because of how long it takes to produce.  

[30:48] Things he would like to change in the future/ get some leverage and increase the mission and help more people: ancillary tasks & personal things

[35:23] Success is a subjective term. We can describe it ourselves

[35:29] Often success is a two part thing: (1) know who you are & signature strengths and knowing what your intensifiers are

[36:21] Intensifiers: qualities that are bad, but in the right circumstances can be good

[37:09] (2) picking the right pawn – finding an environment that rewards your strengths and intensifiers

[41:47]  Research: If a top analyst left the company alone he was no longer top analyst at his new company. If he brought his team with him/her, he was top analyst in new company.

 

Three key points:

 

  1. People can do just as well without the downside of narcissism on the Buddhist concept of self-compassion. Confidence impresses people, but doesn’t make you likeable
  2. Give people something they can really use. Product content that is valuable to readers
  3. Success is a two part thing:(1) knowing who you are & signature strengths and knowing what your intensifiers are; and (2) picking the right pawn – finding an environment that rewards your strengths and intensifiers

[00:47] Introduction to his Jonathan David Lewis and his book.   

[02:42] To be a great marketer or influencer you have to be empathetic

[03:29] Research – 7 factors of business growth: there is no difference between a group of survivors in a mountain and entrepreneurs. Both are responding to a predictable disruption.

[04:10] One of the key  differences of those that are able to do well in hard circumstances and those who don’t, is your internal health as a team / the health of your relationships around you, which are built on empathy

[06:07] Our natural state when the pressure is up, is to hunker down and get scared

[6:19] Our predictable response to disruption is to go from fear to drift to inconsistency to savagery

[7:35] There is no morality at the top. When the pressure is on, we turn against each other, even though it’s not productive and it’s the worst thing that can happen.

[7:55] People need to collaborate with each other, instead of turning against each other to deal with disruption better.

[08:32] Nothing of merit was ever achieved alone

[08:44] Scarcity is real, but not as much as people think. We have the capacity to create overabundance.

[13:55] Success is self-lessness.

[14:11] Humility, the ability to listen is what’s helped the achievers in this world success  

[15:02] People at their core are not selfless, they’re selfish. Working together takes work.  

[15:38] The reason capitalism has created more wealth and abundance is because it is build on checks and balances, which is built on an understanding that we are selfish.

[19:05] Game theory – stag hunt. You both have to make the same choice to get the maximum points.  

[19:48] People know that they will at least get something if they act selfishly, this leads to mediocrity.

[21:58] How to put an incentive in place: (1) give people a purpose – purpose puts you beyond yourself.

[25:44] (1) Admit, (2) submit, (3) commit.  

[29:20] Identify purpose to get team to rally around the idea of “we”.

[29:45] Purpose is not enough, you have to focus.  

[30:20] Ask: what does my customer need? How can I service my customer?  

[30:32] Where purpose and focus overlap is where monetization occurs.

[35:56] Language determines how you think.  

[37:56] If you want to take part in the making of the new world you need to learn how to persuade, sell an idea, etc.  

[38:46] Business concepts: (1) Getting things done. Get weird. Get awkward.

[41:15] His business is built on having awkward conversations in the right way.  

[43:10] He wants to be a blessing. Beginning with the people at his company.  

 

 

Three key points:

 

  1. People need to collaborate with each other, instead of turning against each other to deal with disruption better. Success is self-lessness.
  2. People know that they will at least get something if they act selfishly, this leads to mediocrity.
  3. Where purpose and focus overlap is where monetization occurs.

[00:18] Introduction to Shari Alexander

[02:11] What got her into this line of work

[04:45] She loves this world of influence because it’s about mastering words.  

[06:19] Things people can do to start being influential.  

[7:51] Start by asking: what do I need to know? – if you want to be influential

[10:35] Create the conversation ahead of time.

[13:00] People want to hide behind the screen because it’s easier, safer and more leverageable, but people need to spend time when they’re selling to talk to people.

[17:43] The lower the price, the less commitment the client has.  

[20:43] Ask: is this a tool or a solution?  

[20:49] Oftentimes in the entrepreneurial journey you will come across and if you don’t know how to use it, it won’t work.  

[23:09] Her ambitions and new projects.  

[28:42] Tools that can make someone influential

[31:55] Influence is communication with a purpose. You have to get comfortable with the idea that you want something from people.

[33:34] People should communicate in a thoughtful manner, instead of communicating on autopilot.

[36:09] You have to be aware of being overly authentic cannot help you. Think of what is going to serve you best.  

[38:13] You have to be specific.  

[39:41] Influential triggers: (1) quid pro quo, (2) higher significance

[41:50] The people you can turn into an asset, can be the ones that you give money to, but they will be the least reliable.  

[42:18] The person that you recruit that can be an asset are the people who do it for the higher significance.  

[44:05] Framework people can use right now- the influential vibes – five things you can look for in your mark

[44:39] Five influential vibes: (1) Values: what are important to them?

[45:11] You can’t influence someone that you’re judging.

[45:29] Five influential vibes: (2) Identifiers – what are the labels they put on themselves?

[46:17] Five influential vibes: (3) Beliefs – what are the stories they tell about their world? Very linked to values

[47:01] Five influential vibes: (4) Emotional triggers – what puts them in a positive or negative space?

[47:47] Five influential vibes: (5) Secret goals and desires – what are they aspiring to? What are their higher goals?

 

Three key points:

 

  1. Influence is communication with a purpose. You have to get comfortable with the idea that you want something from people.
  2. You have to be aware of being overly authentic cannot help you. Think of what is going to serve you best.  
  3. VIBES – Values, Identifiers, Beliefs, Emotional triggers, Secret goals and desires.

[36:45] Power has gone from physical to mental

[36:49] What’s going to last in our life is the ability to influence ourselves and others.

[38:22] The influence is feminine: persuasion and learning to flow with the world

[2:19] How he reached 11 properties generating cash flow every month

[3:28] His initial goal was to buy one property a year and by age 35 have 10 properties

[3:40] With the help of his mentor and a mastermind group he’s been able to achieve success faster

[4:30] When you go and do something you should do it for equity or knowledge

[5:24] Look at deals as much as possible. Metric: 1% rule [if you buy house for $100k, rent should be at least $1k

[6:55] Got started through house hacking [lived in master bedroom, rented out the other rooms] → mortgage paid by roommates

[7:35] Owner occupant loans

[9:51] You don’t need the resources on hand if you’re resourceful.

[12:02] If your bills are paid you can make more abundant mind decisions

[13:27]  Came as a child. Parents overstayed visas and became undocumented. He couldn’t work so had to create a company. Buying a house was harder for him.

[17:32] He learned what financial freedom meant. Had to find a group outside of his social circle.

[20:10] How he met his agent – He offered to help with technology. He then asked him if he could drive him around to see what being an agent would be like.  

[21:05] Decided to partner up with him a couple of years later because of the value he provided him before.

[31:40] It starts with you.

[42:03] When making money is not what’s important, but helping people, you make the most important.

[42:20] Doing well and doing good is not mutually exclusive

[3:23] More calories available per person, less fresh food available

[3:52] Product now has less nutrition than it did 100 years ago

[5:02] Indoor agriculture is the idea that you create a controlled environment for plants to grow in and within that space you can grow all sorts of plants

[5:33] Aquaponics is an ecosystem of fish and plants. Fish waste becomes fertilizer

[6:46] Creating healthy ecosystems that can just run in perpetuity

[10:45] He is a bioengineer and used to create virtual reality systems for brain rehabilitation

[11:43] He decided he didn’t want to stay in Academia. He got frustrated with the slow pace of getting innovation to market
