Other Quotes From the Chat with Brian Rollo:
- “I was stubborn enough in the beginning to think just because I had done well somewhere else that I didn’t need help that I could figure this out. It is a whole different world and finding the right coach somebody who has already been there and fought these battles is a huge timesaver ”
- “make everything tangible. Especially if you are offering a service or something like consulting like I do or coaching that. It’s not a thing you can’t buy it and take it away. Try to find a way to make it tangible so that people really get a good feel for what they are getting and how it’s going to help them ”
- “be really, really good at what you do”
- “be good at something people want to pay for… And pay you enough that you can live by maybe a little bit more”
- “be a decent person… Do what you say you are going to do, treat people well, be conscious of other people’s interests genuinely not because it’s a tactic. But give of yourself, look out for other people and work hard”
- “think about your business as if you were an artist and how can you create music that people are going to like”
- “the thing doesn’t come easier your power to do increases once you put yourself in that situation”
