507: Special episode on the Top Business and Life Lessons from 2018 by Simon Chan

Happy holidays and happy new year! In this episode, I want to share some top business and life lessons as we reflect back on the year. The reasons I do this podcast are to share business and productivity lessons I’ve learned about getting more energy, time management skills, and other useful tips. I hope to inspire you and help you take your business to the next level.

Take time to recap your year. When you really think about it, you probably have done more than you realize. When I did this, it allowed me to realize everything I accomplished this year, instead of only focusing on the negatives.

I define personal growth as when you are challenged and you keep going. One of the things my mentor taught me is, success is not built on success. Success is built on problems, frustration, and failure.

Personal Accomplishments

One of the personal lessons was back in January when I went to men’s retreat. I realized I wasn’t playing big and bold enough in my faith. Whatever you believe in, be more bold in it.

Another important thing I practiced this year was to stop comparing myself to other people. It’s easy to see top income earners, people crushing it, and you tend to get a sense of inspiration and also jealousy and envy. Everyone looks good on social media. We’re all dealt different cards. It’s all about what you make with those cards.

And finally, I learned to make a commitment to what is important, and that it is crucial to be able to adapt. This year I made a commitment to spending time with kids, especially when it comes to sports. And in regards to adaptation, my three sons now attend different schools. So I had to adjust to make the most of my day.

Professional Accomplishments

One of the biggest professional accomplishments was No BS No Hype, our big event held in Brisbane, Australia. The event was attended by 500-700 people, and we are very much looking forward to next year’s event, which takes place August 24th and 25th. For more information, go to mlmnation.com/nobs2019.

Another big undertaking this year was changing our focus in MLM Nation. Our new focus is helping people create consistency and accountability. We also created our membership group, MLM Insiders. For more information on the insider group, check out our DMO heroes episodes. In those episodes, future leaders from the community share their tips on how to remain consistent.
