On this episode of Real Talk University, Andre and Christian sat down with John Danes, a serial entrepreneur based out of Nashville, Tennessee. His digital marketing agency, 99Media, helps entrepreneurs establish their digital footprint. He also hosts a top 100 business podcast, The No Excuses Show. His aim in life is to help others get results and meet their potential.   He dropped a ton of knowledge, but here are the 3 main takeaways: READ MORE. Whether you care to admit it or not, you are not a master of your craft. There are people out there with more experience and success than you, and one or two of them just might have a book published. Set aside a block of time every single day to just sit down and ABSORB all of the knowledge they are generous enough to share with you, and become better from it. Find a way to fall in love with the process of reading and learning. Take yourself serious. How can you expect any prospective client to take you seriously and sign on when you don’t even have the confidence in yourself? No matter how old you are, trust your expertise and preparation that have lead you to this point. The only way to go all in and invest in yourself and your career is to have the conviction that you’ll find success, and what you think about the most is what your future will hold. Do not be afraid to seek MENTORSHIP. We may stress this topic a lot on this show, but for good reason. The quickest way to find success and beat the learning curve is to find someone who has what you want and WORK for them, even if it is for FREE. The ROI of working for free for a period of time will be massive in the long run, as you will come away from that experience primed to go off on your own and find massive success. - Start Your Own Podcast TODAY!
