Deep dives
Breaking the Bloodline
The concept of breaking the bloodline emphasizes the importance of creating a new legacy that is distinct from familial patterns. It suggests that individuals can choose to change their trajectory, regardless of their family's history, such as overcoming traits like obesity or unhealthy habits. For instance, recognizing the consequences of negative behaviors prevalent in one's family can serve as motivation to avoid replicating those patterns. The speaker advocates for living a life that defies expectations set by one's upbringing and instead focuses on building a lasting and positive impact for future generations.
Leadership as a Skill of Influence
Leadership is defined as the ability to influence thoughts, feelings, and actions, rather than merely holding a title or position. The speaker highlights that effective leadership requires developing communication skills and emotional intelligence, which can be learned and perfected over time. For example, habits such as demonstrating affection or respect in public can have a significant influence on others and reflect strong leadership qualities. Ultimately, being highly skilled and influential allows individuals to not only succeed personally but also to inspire and uplift those around them.

Andy Elliott goes over his definition of influence and why it is crucial to master it.
I want to paint this picture for you.
You could be a Fortune 500 CEO, you could have millions of dollars in the bank, you could have a large team under you....AND STILL NOT BE A LEADER.
This is because leadership is not a position, it's the SKILL OF INFLUENCE.
If you can't influence anybody. There is NO way you're going to become a leader.

If you don't know who I am, my name is Andy Elliott. I am the founder of The Elliott Group with my wife Jacqueline Elliott who is our CEO. Today, we have a 150 million dollar business, and we're on our way to a billion.
If you don't believe you are qualified to have a big life...here is my story.
At 18, I got into automotive sales and made a $1,700 commission on my first day.
19 years old, I made 225k in one year.
20 years old, I made my first 500k.
The most I ever made before being promoted to a General Manager was 716k selling cars as a W-2 employee.
As a GM, the most I made was 2.5 million in one year.
In 2019 after 20+ years in the car business, my wife Jacqueline told me she learned to live without me and I decided I was
built for more, was tired of settling and being "better than most" in all areas of life.
God.
Family.
Physical.
Mental.
Business.
I went PSYCHO in self development and totally re-created EVERYTHING in my life.
Today, I live by example in everything that I do and my number one goal is to build the world's greatest leaders on planet Earth, and teach everyone how to sell, influence, and persuade, because NO money is ever made without sales.
I
see people everyday that have no idea what true potential is…well I do…And it’s UNLIMITED! I am living proof of that!
Imagine what your life would look like if you never had to worry about money again and your family was in a such a good place that if something ever happened to you they were taken care of because of the success you achieved and the person you became.
If you want to make history and become a legend coaching with me, will make that happen guaranteed!
I got your back for life,
Andy Elliott
