How to Turn Any Situation Around #200 - Andre Norman Path to Mastery
Episode 200 - How to Turn Any Situation Around - Andre Norman The Ambassador Of Hope Andre Norman is the reason to believe in second chances. His tenacity and passion for people led him to start his transformational program, 180x, which works to redevelop underserved communities, repair families in crisis and reduce prison re-entry. But this wasn't always his calling. Nearly two decades ago, Norman was not only serving a 100-year sentence in prison, but he was also running all the gang activity within the facility. After an epiphany in solitary confinement and a lot of hard work, he was released, GED in hand, having served just 14 years. Since then, Norman's mission has been to teach individuals and corporations how to turn any situation around. His solution-based recovery efforts have impacted regions, including Honduras, Bahamas, Sweden, Guatemala, Liberia and Trinidad. He has lectured on multiple TEDx stages, as well as Harvard University and London Business School. And, his innovative strategies against gang activity and inmate manipulation has improved correctional systems across the U.S. Connect with Andre Norman: Website: AndreNorman.com Instagram: @AndreNorman Facebook: @AndreNorman21 Twitter: @AndreNorman YouTube: Andre Norman Monthly Training with David- https://35callchallenge.com/ David's Monthly Article – http://www.davidihill.com/5mistakes/ FACEBOOK COMMUNITY Please follow and join my Group- https://www.facebook.com/groups/ptmastery/ OUR LEAD PROVIDER SPONSORS VULCAN7 https://www.vulcan7.com/pathtomastery/ Get in Touch With David Here: Website- http://www.davidihill.com/ Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/davidihill/ YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/user/hillteam17 LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidihill Book: https://www.amazon.com/Sales-Playbook-Simple-Strategies-Close/dp/1628652861 Free Gift: https://callreluctance.davidihill.com/ Free 30-minute Coaching Call https://www.trycoaching.net

Mike Simmons: David Hill No-Nonsense ways to improve your sales!
I have been in the real estate investing business since 2008. I have flipped houses, bought rentals, and wholesaled hundreds of deals. For the first four years of my real estate investing business, I was doing everything myself, making every mistake in the book, spending way too much time and money in every aspect of my business. Then I figured it out. No, I don't mean that I found some secret technique or some super unknown tactic for running my business. What I mean is I figured it out. I found out how most successful real estate investors or any businessman for that matter turns the corner and gets their business straightened out. It's not as glamorous or sexy as you might think. But I will sum it up by saying there is no secret. You have to get out there and Just Start. Is that it? Is that all it takes is just to get started? Well, no, but that is by far the biggest hurdle that I have seen with the hundreds of people that I have coached and mentored in this business. This podcast is dedicated to filling in the details, giving you all of the things that I have done over the past decade to figure out how to go from having a pretty good business to having a fast-growing business on rocket fuel! In this episode, David and Mike discuss: Today's episode is chocked full of tips to getting started in real estate and a few no-nonsense ways to improve your sales. Your mindset is your key to success. When you have resistance in the sales business you are letting your fear take control. Too many people worry about what other people think about them. This causes a fear of rejection and maybe even a fear of success that leads to call reluctance. This call reluctance is limiting your sales potential. In today's episode learn how to improve your mindset, get past your fear, and utilize that hidden gold mine in your pocket. That's right, your contact list.
