“for me it was how do I best standout in a sea of sales trainers and people that have internal sales training in their business.

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“I will find a way; I will make away or I will figure it out. I see no value in could of, would of, should of. Like living in the past. There is a prayer called the serenity prayer which is the ability to accept the things you cannot change and the wisdom to know you can and can’t change and then doing something about it. So, I constantly into timeframes, one is the present. So, in the present I don’t look back to see how I got here unless it would give me value so I really just focus on now I am dealing with this how do I make the most of this present situation. So, then I am focused on the future which is how do I find a way, make a way or figure out a way to make the future situation better than even the present to make the most of what I have in front of me”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Dan Crum:
- “if you plan as a company to do online ads that priority is given to established companies who actually have a good online following and actually have a history of running ads. If someone is starting a company, I think they should spend upwards of a year laying this foundation which to me is gaining a following, start running guards even if they are low-cost ads. So then when you are ready to launch the company at scale your ads will be seen by your target market because you have priority you need”
- “I think it’s impossible to quantify I have enough but it feels like that’s enough, I can make a decision here. So maybe that is more trusting my gut that there is enough because I think it’s a really difficult thing to quantify”
- “consistency of hard work, good habits, just longevity. So, I think where people fail and this tends to be the opposite is impatience. They tend to want things to be quick fixes, happen right away, start to prove that something is working on not working. So when they don’t see that they give up. I think the antidote or the key to success is to have a big picture long-term perspective. And really if you can have someone whose gone before you and can help give you perspective, to say here is how difficult it’s going to be, here’s what’s coming ahead of you then you can be more patient, you can have the long-term perspective, you can work hard and establish good habits over a long period of time”
- “ always talk about what you want to happen and not what you fear might happen
