The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show

Pejman Ghadimi is a self-made entrepreneur and best selling book author born in 1982 in the middle of a revolution in Iran, raised in France for the majority of his childhood, and eventually migrating to the United States in 1997. Raised by a single mother his entire life with very limited resources, Pejman quickly adapted to the idea of being resourceful. Due to lack of finances and the inability to go to college due to family obligations, Pejman chose to start working from a young age and focused his efforts on banking where he built a name for himself very quickly, climbing the ladder all the way to the VP level in a short 4 years span all without any type of formal education or formalized training. Fast forward 3 more years and Pejman left banking with a significant amount of experience, an incredible salary history and real estate portfolio to die for which was later leveraged to founding three major businesses: VIP Motoring, Secret Consulting, and Secret Entourage (which collectively have grossed over $40M in revenue annually). Pejman shares a very unique perspective on success and entrepreneurship; one that involves the birth of innovation through the impact made on others as well as the human connections we create daily backed by years of effective and practical leadership skills. Pejman has authored 10 books to date; his most recent best seller Third Circle Theory focusing on a unique roadmap to achieving a higher level of self-awareness leveraging the power of entrepreneurship. While currently being financially independent, Pejman focuses his efforts on teaching others the importance of self awareness, belief, and the power of defining your role and purpose to others through the Secret Entourage Academy as well as to a select few on a one on one basis.

Whether you're a new entrepreneur or someone that has been around a while, there is one that is pretty scary to most of us, and thats the idea of scarcity.

In this episode, I discuss when its time to cut the chord with a client so that you can be abundant and not scarce, and from there, really go on to create your own life!   In this episode: The signs that its time for a client to go.

Michael Russo started Sticky Quotes while still in college to bring inspiration and motivation to others. Being the optimistic and idealistic philosopher he is, he once thought: "How could I make the world a happier place?" For starters, he figured he could write inspirational quotes on sticky notes and leave them all over the place. And that’s exactly how Sticky Quotes got its start. The sticky quote note idea was his simple yet effective way to make the world a happier place. He was sticking these instant happy notes everywhere – all over the Morgan Stanley office where he once interned; in every classroom at Molloy College; and just about anywhere else he's gone since January 2014 when he started this movement. It wasn't until he paired up with an awesome team of friends and mentors, won a college business plan competition, and printed an insane number of sticky notes in his parents’ kitchen that he had the confidence and the opportunity to start this business. Now he's 21 years old, on a mission, running his business, and set to graduate from college in May.

We all want to reach certain people, and it most likely shows by the volume of communication that they receive. So, there is a certain formula that you can apply in order to get people of influence interested in what you are doing. BUT there is some important things to think of when considering that, the first of which is that it must be beneficial to the person that you are bringing it up to, but it also must be something for the good of others. We need to ask ourselves whether or not we are being people of value, because for the most part people are. Busy successful people are not interested in helping you because you're pathetic or because your think you deserve it. In this episode, I go over how I was able to get the right people to do interviews with me when I launched my podcast; I hope it helps you with whatever cause you are launching. Today's Sponsor:
