He worked his way through a computer science degree and then after a few jobs he got put in a sales role. He created Goldmine which was essential Outlook and Salesforce before either existed. Jon was different because he had two entrepreneurial mentors. You can always go get a job with another company, so be brave enough to try something.  When you do have responsibilities it’s harder to jump off the cliff, you have to take into account how things will affect your family. What holds people back is not knowing how to get started. How Jon made Goldmine scalable and they got to $100 million in revenue. Jon learned things in his jobs that he worked his way through college with. Jon learned how customers buy software by working in a computer store and in software sales. You have to tell stories and get other people to tell those stories to spread the gospel of the technology. Service is the new sales. The difference between competition and collaboration. You have to listen to and iterate with your customer base. Jon came out of retirement to unify social and CRM with a new product. Why building software is a lot like writing songs. If you don’t know any what then it doesn’t matter who. The most effective way Jon has connected with people: humanness. LinkedIn is like a lobby or business persona. Your personal brand and network will help you achieve your dreams in life.

We are all a product of our environment especially when you come from a rigid environment. You have to learn to spend time with yourself, even as an extrovert.

Judge Graham a hard-hitting, action-oriented entrepreneur with a successful track record of growing companies and selling them for hundreds of millions of dollars. His companies have won numerous high profile business accolades and he has been featured in multiple media outlets. Judge hosts the Scale and Exit podcast and is an acclaimed author and speaker. Judge talks to your host Travis Chappell about how to scale your business, how to build a sellable company, and why you should be building a personal brand. Episode Highlights:  Judge grew up in an average middle-class family with hardworking parents. He grew up appreciating what things would cost. Surrounding yourself with the right people makes a huge difference. You have to have a heightened sense of urgency to win. You can’t build a real company unless you have people. Judge majored in business at TCU in the late 90’s early 2000’s. Judge started a web design and development company in college. Judge went personally bankrupt in his first business. Recurring revenue is powerful and necessary to business. A lot of people want to be entrepreneurs but they aren’t willing to sacrifice. Judge’s second business was a digital marketing company and then he started growing and flipping companies. What Judge’s next step will be. Why personal branding is important. Many current CEO’s are missing the personal branding element. When you have a personal brand you’re more accessible and people are more interested in you. If you have a true personal brand it’s easier to start doing the next thing. You have to be authentic and you have to choose a side. Believe in growth culture but try not to copy anyone. Who you know is more important - you have to know your stuff but without the network it doesn’t matter. On the internet, you can get access to almost anybody - reach out and be thoughtful. Super successful people like to give.   The Random Round: What profession other than your own do you think it would be fun to attempt?

On this episode of Freestyle Friday your host, Travis Chappell talks about how to become a person that people want to connect with. Learn three tangible ways you can grow a good size audience and become a sought after connection. Episode Highlights: There’s a big difference between trying to connect with other people and being the person people want to connect with. Constantly be working on yourself to be sure you’re the type of person people want to connect with. Three ways to become a person people want to connect with: 1) Become a person of influence. 2) Become a person of interest. 3) Become a person of value.

The greatest challenge in negotiation is to provide the most value you can. 3 Key Points: The best way to build confidence is consistency.
