370: Topic | Building a Foundation for Success with Brad Lea, Dan Fleyshman, and Bedros Keulian

Brad Lea, founder and CEO of LightSpeed VT, Dan Fleyshman, youngest founder of a publicly traded company in history, and Bedros Keulian, owner of one of the fastest gym franchises in the world, give advice to help you build a foundation for success.   Episode Highlights:    Dan Fleyshman People who are mad at the 1% are insane. It’s never been easier to make money – dropshipping, rental properties, etc. The more money you have to work with, it can then replicate and grow. If you upgrade your lifestyle instead of investing, you lose a big investment opportunity. He’s a big proponent of the side hustle and it’s the best time in history to do it. People don’t need as much money anymore to get started. What holds people back from being an entrepreneur? Fear and themselves. Brad Lea "Who" and "what" you know are equally important. If you don’t know the what, it doesn’t matter who you know. If you know everything but you don’t know anybody, then the what you know doesn’t really matter. It’s 50/50 The cliché answer is the “who,” but you need the what. You need to have a pitch, a value proposition, and know your product, otherwise you’re over-valuing relationships. If you already have a good solid “what,” focus on the “who.” Bedros Keulian If you want to move ahead in life you have to “man up” and get out of your comfort zone. Take control of your situation as a human whether you’re woman or a man. Because he hadn’t grown as a leader, his leadership ability became the lid of his success. In 2014 he had a massive anxiety attack that he thought was a heart attack. In 2015 he got a therapist, and he taught him that he was living in anticipation of future pain. He had to man up and have a difficult conversation with his business partner. A therapist will roleplay with you and teach you how to communicate. He had an unhealthy relationship with money, that it was unattainable. For affluent people, money is a means to impact. The number one thing that people can do to change perspective is to get a mentor who is already leading the life that they want and be open-minded. His original mentor turned him on to virtual mentors. Cut out the mediocre people from around you. If you want to have a successful life, you have to be willing to take risks and live in the extreme. Proximity is power. Environmental exposure is important, you start to pick up on their habits. Get around people who are on a different level, and then keep leveling up.   Tweetable Quotes: “Who you know is very important, but you better have your what down." – Brad Lea "Just. Get.
