This lesson is a real-life coaching call I have with a young soon-to-be father named James Metcalf Jr.In episode 37, I spoke with James about starting his own business and he recently reached out to me with some struggles he's been having.We often hear people say "Just take action" but just taking action won't get you the results you want unless it's the right kind of action. In this episode, you'll hear me shoot it on what James needs to do if he wants to succeed with his business. It's one thing to hear me or anyone say "Take effective action" but hearing this coaching call with James might be just the thing to help you better understand what that means and identify where you might need to change something up in your own business. So let's get to it!I also want to thank James for being so vulnerable and letting us record and use this call so that others who are struggling with something similar can also get unstuck, grow their business, and change their lives for the better.00:00 Introduction to Successful Business Ownership00:22 Experiencing Bali: A Personal Journey01:33 Sales and Marketing Insights02:19 James Metcalf Jr.'s Story: Struggles of a Soon-to-be Father02:45 The Reality of Starting a Mobile Mechanic Business03:28 The Importance of Direct Communication and Honesty04:13 The Struggles of James Metcalf Jr.: A Candid Conversation09:19 Overcoming the Victim Mindset11:46 The Power of Sales and Marketing13:53 The Reality of Starting a Business16:47 The Importance of Taking Action20:59 The Power of Persistence in Business25:08 Final Thoughts on Successful Business Ownership26:35 Understanding the Fear of Rejection26:55 The Power of a Positive Mindset27:24 The Importance of Embracing Rejection27:41 The Challenges of Starting a Business28:32 The Power of Taking Action29:14 The Importance of Setting Goals31:53 The Power of Networking and Referrals33:10 The Importance of Persistence in Business34:28 The Power of Effective Communication37:01 The Importance of Taking Fast, Effective Action38:14 The Power of Resilience in Business38:22 The Importance of Having a Clear Vision39:00 The Power of Overcoming Fear44:24 The Importance of Consistency in Business44:49 Conclusion: The Journey to SuccessTo get exclusive offers mentioned in this episode and to support the show, visit millionaireuniversity.com/sponsors.
