Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. So now business owners, I won't embarrass you by asking you to stand up if there's somebody in your business you would need to fire because you would all stand up, but you need to let that person go. Who you say no to on your team is equally as important to who you say yes to on your team. I would rather have a smaller team of high performers than a larger team that has mid or lower performers. High performers don't like low performers. Low performers don't like...

I'm going to ask you a couple of questions in a moment, but we need to build a relationship with other people. And there are only three styles out there. You're one of them. There are two others. And for our purposes, you are basically wired like one-third of the population when it comes to your communication...

Win the Day Early: 7–9 AM Is Your Sales Advantage Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Between 7 and 9 a.m. The reason why I do that is that I minimize the gatekeepers that keeps me away from my prospects. I know at 7 a.m., business owner, decision makers, get their phone, it's arm's distance away, and they can't help themselves. They'll see that phone ring and they're like, Oh, my assistant isn't around. Someone has got to answer this phone. Ring number three, ring number four. Drives them crazy....

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Too good at what you do to not have the lead flow that you need. You're too good at what you do.

info_outlineYou’re a Interruption Until You Deliver Value
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. You are an interruption to your client's day until you bring them value, okay? Like, if you're worried, like, oh, cold calling, I don't know, will they not like it if I cold call? They're not, they're gonna hate it until you give them value.
Yeah, but those emails are kind of intrusive, do I really wanna send them? You're right, if they suck, you're an interruption to their day. Yeah, but my social media, you're right, if you're boring, you're gonna have a boring business. If you don't bring them value, you are an interruption to their day.
So the key is, how do we bring them value, right? There's a very specific and scientific way that you can do that. And the way that you do that is you give them something to admire about you, okay? Think about it, who are the people that you spend your time around? Who are the people that inspire you, okay? They're people that you think will make your life or business better by being around them.
