Remove self-indulgence and really focus upon whether or not we're solving someone's problem with our product or service. If you spend your time on one thing that people want, love and will remember, then they will most certainly remember you! The greatest communicators and product builders and marketers are those who start with who they want to reach, and then focus on how to build a "bridge of familiarity" to them. Everybody hires people and then asks them to do the thing they they know how to do. We should encourage people to push themselves into areas they don't know as well. This grants all new perspective states. BEST MOMENTS 'We need to make sure we're not focussed on self-indulgence' 'You don't always know if you're at the end of something' 'Start where people are' VALUABLE RESOURCES  Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Are you ready to create your high-value exit?  Apply to work with us today at https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment  Jason Feifer - https://www.jasonfeifer.com ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

Building awareness of you, what you offer, and what your unique offering is, is crucial. You can do this by raising awareness at all time. Always be growing! Leads come from marketing or something you've put into the world. If they say yes to this action, then we must remember to nurture their experience from the beginning BEST MOMENTS 'Someone may not know who you are and what you do. You have to have things happening that make them aware' 'Prospecting is like going out and spearfishing' 'You're paying for that lead once it's converted!'

The system is now holding it up as a perfect example of why regulations matter. There is a genuine phenomenon these days, where real money is traded for unreal money so as to allow people to purchase goods that do not exist. Common sense is required. Entrepreneurial spirit is founded upon risk and innovation, but it must also be tempered by structure that allows regulation through which people may find security. People with high net worth incomes tend to lack the emotional attachment to money that many other do not. BEST MOMENTS  'The secret is to own your own business, sell it, and then never worry about money again' 'I came from an environment of scarcity' 'That's not something I would put my cash into' 'There has to be the least amount of structure possible to allow innovation and risk taking' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Are you ready to create your high-value exit?  Apply to work with us today at https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment  Mark Drager - https://www.markdrager.com ABOUT THE HOST   Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

That is when the greatest growth occurs. These days we have to be far more mindful of the state of the world than ever before. External factors are affecting people far more then they did pre-pandemic. We need to raise our awareness levels.
