Being an entrepreneur isn’t a job. It’s a lifestyle built around one’s businesses.
Beyond the nuts and bolts of starting, growing, and running a business, it’s important to first build a foundation to ensure a meaningful entrepreneurial career. This means that budding entrepreneurs must assess their capacity for persistence, lifelong learning, entrepreneurial drive, and passion for pursing business opportunities.
Also added to those is the quality of their partnerships, because in business as in life, they are vitally important.
Seasoned entrepreneur Bob Schlegel speaks from more than four decades of experience to instruct a new generation of aspiring business leaders on what factors to consider before they make their first sale or seal their first deal. His five foundational pillars will determine not only the level of success, but also the quality of life they can achieve.

When you think of sales, have you ever felt:
You know deep inside you should start having more sales conversations or you desire to have the ability to enroll more of the right clients from your existing pipeline. And yet, there’s something that is holding you back.
Many times, the fear of rejection combined with a lack of sales skill can hinder your ability to have the courageous conversations that convert.
People often admit that they struggle with going into sales conversations feeling like they have to defend the value of their services and convince prospects to work with them.
What comes up before the sales conversation will come out as you’re talking to prospects, from your willingness to connect initially all the way to your follow-through after the call.
When you go in feeling like you need to convince someone to work with you, you’re naturally starting the conversation off-balance, undermining your confidence and the value you can provide.
Dr. Nadia Brown gets it. She used to feel the same way until she learned how to show up fully and powerfully to sales conversations with prospects and guide them to the buying decision that is best for them.
Dr. Brown joins Adam to share why courage may be the most critical sales skill you need.

One of the best ways to start your growth strategy is to think about what your target market wants. You have to think about who they are and what they want in your business.
For instance, you have to consider their problems and how your business is solving those problems. You also have to consider who your target market is.
This means knowing their age, their gender, and where they are located.
The more you know about your target market, the more you know how to help them as you consider what kind of start-up growth strategy you need.

Did you know it was illegal for women to own a printing press or publishing company until late in the 19th century?
Today, women make up the majority of those employed in publishing, but still tend to dominate in lower-level positions, and typically earn less than their male counterparts.
Why?
Most women have not acknowledged their natural ability to lead, invite, and create win-win opportunities.
Adriana Alvarez helps women start their own 6-figure publishing companies.
Her advice, “All you need is the model, the community, and the guidance to soar.”
You can learn how to start a publishing company in the next 30-60 days, even if you don’t have an existing audience or have no idea where your clients are.

Influencers worldwide face the threat of being cancelled every time they speak, tweet, TikTok, or what have you.
Cancel culture is a term referring to a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles – whether it be online, on social media, or in person. In this day and age, one toe out of line could get you cancelled.
However, you can avoid the cancel culture and just focus on being an influencer; someone in your industry who is seen as a high-level expert and a person of interest to follow.
Becoming an influencer takes time, planning, and a lot of work. You have to figure out where your audience is. Create your story…something memorable. Then there’s honing your story, building on it, speaking on it, and so much more.
That’s where Vito Glazer steps in. Having beat cancel culture himself, Vito knows what it takes to take an unknown and turn them into a star.
He joins Adam to share how you can become an influencer.

After suffering a massive setback and losing millions of dollars, Jonny Cooper set out on a quest to build a real, authentic lifestyle for himself.
He’d made millions “doing it for the money”. Now it was time to do it for purpose.
For 5 years, he was on the frontline with his clients, crawling through the mud to help them grow their dreams and serving clients in almost every industry you can imagine.
It was hard, thankless work.
Jonny felt a misalignment. Tired of being a hamster in a wheel, he sat down in a quiet room over a long weekend and took stock of his most rewarding client experiences.
And here’s what hit him like a frying pan to the jaw…
Over the 5 years as a general business consultant, Jonny’s best clients were not restaurants, hotels, or lipo-suction clinics…They were coaches and therapists!
But he also discovered that the average coaching revenue around the world is less than $30k. This means that so many gifted and inspiring entrepreneurs are not achieving the impact they and their clients deserve, because they’re no good at marketing. These guys are often great at delivery, but lousy at finding enough of their ideal clients to make a living out of it.
Jonny is making it his mission to change this. He joins Adam to uncover the three reasons most coaches will always be broke.

How would it feel to have clients actually chasing you? Jonny will show you how.

So much sales training and sales coaching being sold today is based on the old sales principles of “chasing” and “follow-up” with prospects who often times never call you back.
It’s often packaged as “consultative sales training”, but it’s typically just a wrapping on top of traditional sales techniques and processes.
The world has changed dramatically in the last couple of years. No longer will your sales prospects tolerate any sales approaches or systems that feel like they are being “sold”.
Selling doesn’t have to be painful and you don’t have to sacrifice your core values to experience sales success.
Selling no longer has to be a de-humanizing experience, putting you in a position of having to endlessly “chase” your prospective clients… which you shouldn’t have to do as a professional.
That’s why Trust-Based Selling is a major breakthrough in the field of sales…because it teaches a completely different mindset shift along with trust-based languaging.
Ari Galper has made it his life mission to give you, the clarity you are missing, through two decades of working with thousands of business owners and sales leaders all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling to a true art form.
