Key Lessons Learned:Success Mindset
- Assemble a group of likeminded, ambitious people and have an open dialogue with them.
- Success and failure are part of the human condition, we have to try to make the best of what we can.
- Failure is rarely fatal, it usually just involves being uncomfortable.
- Your belief about reality can drastically change the way you approach the world and what you attempt to do.
- Many of the most successful people in the world started out with very humble beginnings, their persistence and ambition lead them to success.
- Achieving success is sometimes just putting in the years to hone a skill. The best advice is “be useful”.
- You can start do anything you want at any point in your life.
- Master what you’ve already learned rather than just learning one thing after another.
Marketing - The DOS method, understanding the dangers, opportunities, and strengths your clients have allows you to add value and sell to them.
- You can leverage yourself to take advantage of changing circumstances if you have vision for the outcome.
- Adding marketing to whatever skills you already have is how you drive them forward.
- Marketing is like oxygen, without marketing a business isn’t going to do well.
- It’s not only about what’s changing in business, it’s also about the things that aren’t changing. Build your business on three principles: people want a wide selection, they want products and services as fast as they can get them, and for as little money as possible.
- Marketing makes everything you do more effective.
Simplify - Some books have the ability to be vector changers for your life.
- It often makes more sense to remove something instead of adding more.
- Simplifying means focusing on what matters most.
- Creating a book doesn’t have to be complicated, it can be done in as little as two weeks if you simplify the process.
Technology - Most of the technology that defines the world today didn’t exist ten years ago.
- Consider what you consume, the algorithms on social networks tend to show you what you already agree with. Try to avoid living in an echo chamber.
Rituals - Yoga and meditating can have a major impact on your life. Try 30 days of yoga and witness major changes.
- Yoga can help bring serenity in a chaotic life and help you respond to life instead of reacting.
- We need challenges to grow and improve, just not challenges so difficult they break you.
- Cutting out grains could be the change you need. Many people’s diets are addictive in nature and grains could be the addiction you need to deal with.
Final Tips - Marketing is how you make everything you do more effective.
- Think about what you can simplify in your business and life.
- Whatever you do, be useful.
About Joe Polish:
Joe fell in love with Marketing when he realized as a 4 year old sitting on the counter of his father’s locksmith shop that if he smiled nicely… people would give him TIPS. He parlayed that into his famous “I’m trying to win a trip to Disneyland” Newspaper subscription sales method… and evolved THAT into the name-dropping, self-aggrandizing, super-generous style we all LOVE about Joe.
About Dean Jackson:
Dean Jackson fell in love with Marketing as a young boy when he first realized that selling stuff on commission was way easier than renting himself out by the hour for a regular job… and he’s never looked back. Dean carried that distaste for real work into his adult life and has focused on a lifestyle centered approach to business using marketing as the ultimate lever to a life of freedom and fun.
