Other Quotes From the Chat with Kenny Harper:
- “I think I would have been less resistant to asking for help, I would have been less resistant to admitting my weaknesses, I would have been less resistant to invest in growing”
- “consistent persistence -being consistent in your actions, living to your values , being persistent, going after what you want, knowing what it is that you want, having it clearly defined. All of those things are important to really make sure that you are moving forward, you are moving onward and you are helping to achieve the goals that you want ”
- “you want to help provide value and when you help enough other people out it comes back to you. Karma. Success that’s what it is”
- “here is where I want to go and I need to grow in these areas, I’m going to ask people for help, I am going to invest in making sure that I can get the help and guidance I need in those areas, and really put focus and attention on developing or hiring people to handle those shortcomings if they are different roles. That would have saved a lot of time versus just trying to work with what you have and being frugal towards growth”
- “our beliefs create our reality. And we have the power to create a philosophy that we live by and shape the beliefs that we hold to be true. These can either happen by chance and we can react to them or we can be proactive, define it and live by it. And when we create the right blueprint we are going to get the right outcome”
- “it takes action to get results”
- “in sales, in business follow-up is king”
