E1: Bob Burg: The Five Counter-Intuitive Laws of Prosperity
Humans have understood the inherent power of storytelling since the dawn of language. Stories have a way of breaking through into the deeper core of our imagination and subconscious in ways that mere manuals or instructions can never penetrate. Our guest today understands this power in a way that few business authors or speakers do. For over 30 years Bob Burg has helped companies, sales leaders, and their teams to more effectively communicate their value, sell at higher prices with less resistance, and grow their businesses based on Endless Referrals. For years, Bob was best known for his book Now through his bestselling (coauthored with John David Mann) Bob unlocks the power of parables to illustrate the five somewhat counter-intuitive Laws of Prosperity by illuminating the life and mind of Joe, a young go-getter who yearns for success. Joe seeks advice from the enigmatic Pindar, a legendary consultant who reveals The Five Laws transforming Joe’s outlook on personal and professional success. Through this creative work of imagination and insight Bob shares how a subtle shift in focus is not only a more uplifting and fulfilling way of conducting business but the most financially profitable way, as well. Bob regularly addresses audiences ranging in size from 50 to 16,000 — sharing the platform with notables including today’s top thought leaders, broadcast personalities, Olympic athletes and political leaders including a former United States President. In this episode Roger and Bob unpack The Five Laws while confronting some of the misconceptions and cultural barriers that stand in the way of prosperity values and the pursuit of financial freedom. Topics include: The Origins of the Go-Giver Series The Difference Between Price & Value Placing Your Customers Interest First Practicing True Authenticity Understanding The Law of Compensation Developing Receptivity in The Modern Age Follow Bob: Let's Get Social: Visit Us: Produced By:
