Top 3 Business Tips: 1. Find What People Want and Give it To Them. You need to find your buyers first and work backwards. 2. So stop worrying about what idea you've got. Pick one. Make sure you already know who the buyer is and just get to work because you can spend years analyzing to come up with a great idea or you can just start working on it. 3. Your biggest commodity is time. - value your time. And that includes valuing other people's time because if they've put aside the time to meet with you, Then be there for it because it's nothing worse in business. If you are in a business and you are meeting with other people in business, they're all busy. Everybody is busy. So when you don't show up or you turn up 20 minutes late because you know you had something important beforehand, all it tells them is that they're not important to you. So always value their time. The only other one that I had which is probably good for people just starting out. Friends and family, the catch cry of the start of a business.

He talks about on the ground how you making decisions, and he doesn't pull any punches. And I it's actually really refreshing. And I've taken a lot of his lot of his teachings, molded it into how I do things. Yeah. But yeah, that's, it's a really good podcast on how to lead in an organization, even if you are not.
