“Most tech things don’t come easy to me. I’m 59 & I shouldn’t use that as an excuse–you have to adapt & go where your customers are. Learn to communicate the way they want to, not the way you want to because it’s easier. If it’s outside your comfort zone, adapt and learn how everyone wants to be communicated. You don’t have to be a tech guru, just learn the basics.”

“…no matter what it is that you’re trying to sell, there’s usually a unique way to meet a market demand that’s currently untapped & I love the way you phrase that: an elegant solution, delivering it in a way that’s so attractive, and that is so perfectly meeting the need. You really need to find that no matter how big or small your solution is, and not everybody’s trying to launch the next multimillion-dollar business. They just want something that’s successful & meets a specific niche.”

— Ashley Cheeks

“I say relationships are key. People that I knew back then still come to me because I was nice to them. We had a good working relationship. They knew that I was a qualified individual. There’s nothing more important than relationship building and making sure that you leave on good terms when you feel like it is time for you to make that exit. Also, plan in advance because it’s a very different life as an entrepreneur.”

— Darcy Sullivan

“Where do I invest that time and energy? Who am I giving it to? Who am I not giving it to? Because it’s not going to be productive. Productive isn’t, like, a sales thing. It’s not going anywhere. So, if it’s not going anywhere, why are you doing it? Give yourself permission. But like, giving yourself permission first before you go out is really important. And that’s something that I don’t think we’re talking about enough.”

— Ginger Johnson

“By default, you’re supposed to have a voice, that’s not good because so many people don’t feel at ease and relaxed. Your voice should not be good, because the voice is very susceptible to the body. And anything that changes in the body. Anything that makes you feel tense in the body will affect your voice, for example, we all have stress. If you feel stressed, then you are not going to have the best voice if you have never trained on that.”

— Cynthia Zhai

“When people ask me what I do for a living, I say that I’m in the business of awakening leaders to be remarkable. I do that by enabling leaders to be in ‘heart linked to conscious flow’ and ‘success flow’. The ‘how’ will always present itself. It always does.”

— Glen Campbell

“One of the questions we ask is, ‘What skills do you think today’s graduates are lacking?’ Everyone says the same thing: communication skills. They don’t know how to communicate. They don’t know how to talk to each other. Social media plays a huge role in that. If somebody is reaching out to you and you’re not interested, just say ‘No, thank you.’ To not answer at all is just very poor communication skills. So I’ve taken a negative and tried to teach the students accordingly about it.”

— Kyle Grappone

“A lot of people are scared of technology or scared of online and digital. They’re scared to make their website or to even have some online presence. I think my superpower has been ‘Look, you need help doing something online or digital, my company has a solution for you.’ My superpower is finding solutions, at least online and digitally. It’s kind of this virtual world but it’s real-life as well. I’m behind the computer, pushing keys and making things happen.”

— Naresh Vissa

“My superpower is teaching the mindset for success in all life areas. No matter what difficult transition you go through–and I’ve been tested on this my whole life that you can overcome it. I’m also very faith-based and spiritual. With faith and the mindset for success, you can complete and do anything that you dream to do. This is what I teach my clients when they come to me out of a toxic relationship, or through a difficult life situation.”

— Riana Milne

“The thing I teach most often that I think would help most entrepreneurs and your listeners, and something that a lot of people struggle with, is removing this whole idea that they have to do everything themselves. To me, if you refuse to ask for help, you rob the other person of the joy that they would have received from helping you. There are a lot of people who could use a bright spot in their day by helping somebody.”

— Maxwell Ivey

“’I don’t have time’. I want to eliminate the belief that people are too busy. People have the time. Here is your blank day, tomorrow. Fill it in with what needs to happen, with what you want, and what you hope to happen.”

— David Grange

“The toughest part is training someone to have the same mindset as you and be driven to think as you do. Especially when it’s something that you’ve created. You create a space and you want to train them to do the things you’re doing and how you have done them so that the job is done the same way; so that your client doesn’t notice any drop-off. That’s the toughest part of the training process. But working one-on-one with people and allowing them to see what I do helps me help them to help me.”
