333. How to do what you say you're going to do
When it comes to entrepreneurship, big or small business ownership, you hear the same advice all the time: Do what you say you are going to do, and you will succeed as a business owner. It sounds so easy, but the real problem is that most of us are terrible at managing expectations. It’s bad business advice to just do what you said you’d do regardless of the evolving circumstances. Find out in this episode what to do instead! Thanks for listening! Like this episode? I think you’ll love my newsletter.

330: Execution is better than ideas
If you've been to Pitch Competitions, you would be familiar with these questions, "What makes you different?" and "What makes you better?". As someone who successfully sold a company that I built with my business partner and currently running a real estate private equity firm. I can definitely say it's not what makes you different. It's about the execution. You don't need to complicate stuff. You just have to keep it simple and execute! Thanks for listening! Like this episode? I think you’ll love my newsletter.
