3 Pivots to Become a Success Now: You have to look at what you're doing and decide if what you're doing is really working? This is a question that I ask myself often. Especially when its time to level up!
I had to let go of my pride and ego, which is which is kind of funny because I wouldn't have called it pride or ego back then. I would have called it a lack of knowledge or a lack of experience, let's just assume that's all one and the same. I started getting out of my own way, the 3 things that I really started doing that changed my fortune and my successful path.
1) I sought out partnerships, finding people that were a level up from where I was. I wanted to work with them. I tried to offer something to them. If I didn't have money, what I did have was time, enthusiasm, a lot of spunk and a lot of can do spirit! Those people that were a level above maybe where I was and wanted to get to. They had more knowledge and more money than I did.
So I sought out partnerships with them. What is a strategic partnership? A partnership is all about the idea of two people coming together that have different resources, different skill sets and becoming a partnership, becoming a team. That's what a good partnership is! If you both bring the same thing to the table that partnership isn’t worth a whole lot. You want to seek out partnerships, that's key. You don't have to have money, but you have to show up and you have to go above and beyond. Your sweat equity can turn into real equity.
2) The second thing I started doing that I realized made a difference is was helping people that love what they do. Helping people get to the next level is very rewarding and lucrative. A lot of people need partners. They don't realize they need partners. Referring back to the first change of finding partners! When you remember yourself was once in a position where you were the partner with time, energy, passion, and you started working with people with money.
Well, now on the flip side, once you have the money and once you have the resources, you can go and help people with the time, energy and passion. Look for those opportunities and partnering with people who love what they do has really triggered an explosion of success and activity for me and our team.
3) The last thing that I realized that really came out that I've been doing a lot of, I feel like I've consistently did this often more so than the other two because social media. Social media allows you to share lessons learned. I used to share a lot of lessons learned on not what not to do! Hahaha But now, I'm more intentional with my social medial. I'm actively providing new information, free information.
I'm providing it from a point of view of success and a proven track record. Example- I'm doing this recording right here and you're hearing advice, I’m giving information and giving support freely with no intentions of return. I do strategically have intention with this post, but I don't expect people listening to this to magically reach out and want to be my partner. What this is, is really trying to get my brand out. By doing that. I can now help you scale and grow your business or change your mindset so you can be more successful.
