Here’s To Your Best Year Ever…

JT — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:07:29 +0000

We always hear quotes like, “Here’s to the best year EVER!” or “This year is totally gong to ROCK!”, but often times these statements are made just weeks (sometimes days) before a person loses momentum and falls back into their old habit patterns.

For the record, I believe 2010 is going to kick ass…IF, you do three things.

First, you must go after what you love. I don’t care if it’s skiing, drawing, or underwater basket-weaving, if you are in love with something, do more of it. Then find a way to make money doing it. Start a blog, write an e-book, or create a product surrounding your passions. Do it now.

Second, you must mastermind with champions. I cannot underscore this enough. If you want to get anywhere in life, you must surround yourself with people at or above your level of performance. It will inspire you to grow, and will explode your skill levels to new heights.

Third, and most important, you must HUSTLE. One of my mentors, Gary Vaynerchuk, taught me this in a presentation he did at a Web 2.0 conference. Gary is a genius, in my opinion, and he believe you must hustle if you want to make it happen. He also believes you can make ANYTHING happen with enough hustle, belief, and persistence.

I hope 2010 is YOUR best year ever. I believe it will be if you go after what you love, mastermind with champions, and hustle your ass off.

Leave a comment and share this post with people you believe are at or above your performance level. Let me know what your big passion is, who you plan to mastermind with, and how you intend to hustle to make this year the best ever.

Go Big,

Leadership Lessons From Dave Stech (Part 2)

JT — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 13:33:45 +0000

So, in Part 1 of my discussions on the profound impact Dave Stech has had in my life, I told you about his concept behind “The Power of 6″. I want to share more of Dave’s insight with you here, because I think it is vitally important to your business and your life.

Dave emphasizes the importance of “fewer, deeper business relationships” to create “fewer, bigger deals”. Why waste time trying to strengthen business relationships with people who are not in alignment with who YOU are and what YOU are passionate about doing?

Why chase after the “bright shiny objects” in business, only to come up in the end exhausted and frustrated?

I have seen firsthand how distilling a contact list of thousands down to a pertinent few has made my business far more effective, and the service I provide many times more valuable. Dave Stech taught me the value of this, as well as the practical steps of how to implement this practice into my daily life.

I have also learned (in some cases the hard way) the importance of concentrating on fewer, bigger deals, focusing my energies and resources in places that create win-win solutions for everyone involved.

I am deeply grateful to have Dave Stech as a friend and mentor.

If you want to “just add a zero” while “doing good, having fun, and making money” go to http://www.ThePowerOf6.com, and find out how creating fewer, deeper business relationships will lead to fewer, bigger deals and more abundant life.

Go Big,
~JT
