80. How My FBI Training Prepared Me for Business

Up until junior college, I had planned to get into the FBI. I had family relations within the FBI, and I had alot of interest in pursuing that as a potential Career Path. I was lucky enough to take a criminal science course in school. Over a matter of time, I did some training at FBI locations on negotiation, shooting, crime, scene Investigation, hostage situations, hostage negotiation, and more. Recently I have reflected on this, and it made me realize that alot of these skills have contributed to the success of my business, and that is what I want to talk about today.

 

In this episode, you're going to learn a couple of different perspectives, lessons, and parallels that I've been able to pull out and share with you that will be effective for marketing and sales within your business.

 

In this episode, we cover…

 

• Negotiation 
• Seeing things from different perspectives
• Problem-solving and gathering data

"Marketing is highlighting certain pieces of information to communicate effectively with other people to get them to see your perspective and take the action you want them to take."

 

"Obstacles are inevitable. So instead, prepare for obstacles potentially prepare for the worst-case scenario that you may encounter and then prepare for how you're going to overcome them."
