If you want better results, ask better questions.

Here are 10 questions I love to ask my mentors:
What is one piece of advice most people think is important but you think I could skip entirely?

#Leadership
What is one of your daily routines you wish you would've started earlier in your life?

#Habits
What are the biggest struggles you face today?

#Transparency
What is something you did differently than your peers 10 years ago?

#LessonsLearned
What is something you knew 5 years ago that you ended up having to "unlearn" to get you where you are today?
How have your priorities changed over the last 5 years?
Where have your highest quality relationships come from?
What is something you didn't think was important until you had to learn the importance of it the hard way?
How and where do you find inspiration?

#Family
How do you integrate feedback into your work and lifestyle?

#Criticism
And thats it!

There is plenty to drive a fruitful conversation with a mentor 🤝

College completely failed to teach you how to Network

So I went on a deep dive of the top 50 networking books.

I distilled everything I know into a 5 part framework

But unlike college, these won't cost you $120,000.

Here's your framework for free: Image
1.) You must build your network long before you need it

Just like you can’t buy safety vests when your ship is already sinking, you must build your network long before you need it

This was a takeaway from a book I highly recommend to every college kid: Never Eat Alone
2.) First, find a way to provide value to people you want to meet

Trying to meet a thought leader like @SahilBloom?

Do a deep dive on SRB Ventures. Bring ur research insights on his portfolio companies

Real networking is about finding ways to make other people more successful

Your worldviews make or break you.

I used to see the world the same as most people

But since I started accepting these 5 Contrarian Views (held by the top 1%)...

My life has completely changed for the better 👇
Saying No
Take on less, accomplish more.

Success doesn’t come from taking on everything that comes your way. It comes from focus—deep focus on the tasks that really matter.

Say yes to what matters, say no to what doesn’t. Protect your time as a gift to be cherished.
Persuasion is accomplished by listening more, talking less

Think about the last time a salesman sold you a high-ticket item. They probably had you talking 85% of the conversation

Last month my Passive Income surpassed my W2 paycheck. This took 10 yrs to build

If you wanted to do the same thing, here are 5 things you can do to shave my 10 yr process down to less than 1 year:
Now before diving into some of my lessons learned, you should know they come from a diverse portfolio:

🔹 STR & LTR's in 3 States

🔹 Ecomm stores on Amazon, Walmart, & FB

🔹 Started a Vending route from ground-zero

🔹 Built a 6-figure Consulting biz
1st Lesson: Start with Vending first

One of my biggest mistakes was delaying Vending

I shouldn't have.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd start my Vending route first. Why?
