What to Do When Something Bad Happens: How to Survive, Thrive and Never Look Back! 💪

Did you know that some of the most successful people in the world have failed countless times?

One of my favourite quotes is taken from Michael Jordan: “I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career, I've lost almost 300 games 26 times, someone gave me the ball to take the winning shot and I missed it over and over and over. I've failed, and that's why I succeeded.” 

It is easy to talk about the good things but the reality is, in your career or business, bad things happen. So, what do you do in this situation?

It is less about what’s happening and it is more about how you deal with it.

In this episode, I will give you 3 tips on how you can use your failures to actually enhance your career or business and subsequently get you back on the path to success. 

You will learn:

1. To just accept...
2. That you’re doing something right...
3. The path to success... 

Why not give it a listen and unlock the next level of your potential! 😎

It’s really tricky to find out what you are best at in the world, because no one can tell you.

There’s a very common saying “you can’t read the label from inside the bottle” - sometimes when you are really close to things, it can be hard for you to have an accurate perspective on knowing what you are truly great at in this world. These are things you often take for granted or you feel are just ‘natural’.

I’m a big believer that if you can play to your strengths, you will be able to go further, faster and have a competitive edge in your field.

In this episode I discuss how you can identify and maximize your skills and talents to help you find what you are best at in life.

You’ll Learn:

• How you might be making a mistake with your thinking process

Entrepreneurs come up to me all the time, and ask: "Hey, I'm thinking of launching this business. What do you think about this idea? Is it good enough?" Or marketers launching a campaign ask: "Is this idea good enough?"

How to Discover Your Strengths? 

How to discover your strengths as a marketer, as an entrepreneur, as a business person in your career, such an important thing!

One of the things we help people with is to fulfill their ambition to become an entrepreneur or become a marketer, launch a business, get customers, launch their career. And one of the common questions we get is “What am I best at in my career?” That's such an important question. And it's a big question. So I just want to unpack part of that today. 

When you're thinking about your personal brand, it's important to know what your strengths are, what your passions are, and then what there's a need in the market for. 

That kind of zone in the middle is an area that you can really excel in. 

So I want to talk a little bit about that topic, what are your strengths, how to discover what your strengths are. Because guess what, it makes sense that if you can focus on an area that you're naturally good at, then you're going to be able to go further faster.

It's a little bit like this: I'm not a great swimmer. But even if I wanted to become a professional swimmer, the reality is, for me to be a world-class swimmer, I probably need to be like six foot five, and I'm not,  I'm six foot. So the chances of me being able to be a world-class swimmer are small. 

However, there are things that I am naturally stronger, and people can look at me and go, Wow, Howard's really good. 

Whether you believe that or not, you have some natural strengths that other people do not have. 

Okay, so in this episode, I want to talk about three top tips on how to discover those strengths.

I hope you find it useful.

You’ll Learn

• What are the top 3 ways to discover your strengths?
• What do I think about the personality tests?
• Why people around you is a great source while trying to discover your strengths?

There is a common misconception, that things just happen, some people are lucky. I don't believe that. So in this session, I want to talk about three ways that you can create your own luck. And really, there's no luck involved.

You’ll Learn

• Do people succeed because they are lucky?
• How do you create your own luck?
