EP284: Money Follows Attention!

A few weeks ago Alex attended Grant Cardone's 10X Conference and was blown away by the quality of it all. The conference was hosted during Superbowl weekend (which was bold in itself) and over 35,000 people attended! On this week's episode, Alex shares some key highlights from what he learned and how he plans to incorporate some of these into his own life. Key Takeaways: We're almost done with Q1! Time flies! This is the perfect time to take a look at your goals. A couple of weeks ago Alex attended Grant Cardone's 10X Conference. By the way, Grant is such a marketing genius. How does Alex plan out the content for his podcasts? You gotta surround yourself with like-minded people. Everything you see today first starts with a thought. What do our parents always tell us? "Stay in your lane." This is bad advice! There are three things that are required to create a 10X life. Whatever you want in life… 10X it. Is there something in your life right now that you're resisting? Snoop Dogg was there! Always over-deliver to your customers. Money follows attention. Alex has some thoughts about this. Haters are required. Grant spent 10 million of his own dollars to put on this event. Whatever you write down becomes your reality. Consistency has a compounding effect. Mentioned in This Episode: Alex on Instagram Conference: 10xgrowthcon.com Book Recommendation: The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure, by Grant Cardone Tweetables: "I don't have a plan or an agenda. I just speak from the heart." "Everything that you see around you — it began with a thought. It began with an idea." "If you become a student of sales and marketing, and then execute it, you will never go broke. You will never starve."

EP280: Gary Harper Explains How To Explode Your Business & Live a More Fulfilling Life Through His "MVP Framework"

Gary Harper suffered from a near-death experience and almost lost it all. He made a promise to God that if he made it through, he would dedicate the rest of his life to service and helping others. God granted him that wish and today Gary consults with clients on how they can live their mission and vision and all the while, optimize their business process. Key Takeaways: Gary travels the country to help businesses with their processes. Gary was an executive for almost 15 years and also got into real estate about 20 years ago, but he lost it all and had to file for bankruptcy. Gary also nearly died from Lyme disease in 2011. During that time, he made a promise to God. How can you create your own vision plan? Gary had to start with his 'Why'. He highly recommends Simon Sinek's work. Gary's 'Why' is to honor God. Gary explains his company's 'Why' and showcases how it's different from his personal 'Why.' What really matters with you? When Gary was on his deathbed, he asked himself what did he do with all of his time. Where did it all go? Do you want to miss your child's birthday because you were too busy trying to make money? How can people better visualize their life 10-15-20 years down the road? Gary breaks down his MVP (Mission, Vision, and Process) framework. Where we stumble and fail is when we try to do too much. The biggest thing is to FOCUS! It doesn't really matter if you have a vision if you don't have a gameplan on how to get it done. Document your process. If you're in real estate, you're wearing about 44 hats. Sometimes we work so hard that we lose focus on who it's for, and why it's for, and then your most important relationships fail. There are two types of entrepreneurs out there. There are leaders and there are dictators. Why do entrepreneurs fail to scale their businesses? Mentioned in This Episode: Connect with Gary here: Sharperprocess.com Stay focused all year long: Fullfocusplanner.com Book Recommendation: Start with Why, by Simon Sinek Focus, by Al Ries Tweetables: "If you don't first and foremost work on you and make sure you're healthy and you're ready to go to that level, then you'll fall flat on your face." "MVP stands for Mission, Vision, and Process. How can you be an MVP in 2019? It first starts with that mission." "Sometimes we work, work, work, and it's for money, and we lose sight of who it's for, and why it's for." Ask Alex A Question: Have a question you want featured on an upcoming Flip Empire Show?
