Episode highlights:
- Specialization is important. It’s really hard to run a lot of businesses at once. Find 1 thing that you’re really good at and double down on that.
- Becoming a thought leader - become an expert in your desired subject matter. Say something unique and be authentic. Put content out there.
- Don’t be the best version of someone else. Be the best version of yourself.
- Become a good listener. Listen more than you speak.
- Is it a good idea to work with family?
- You need to be clearly focused on the right priorities and vision in order to move your business forward.
- Don’t forget to focus on cashflow and revenue.
- You can’t do everything on your own. In order to scale a business you need to hire good people.
- Work on your business. Not just in your business.
- When you’re starting out, take your lumps early and learn as much as you can.
