Episode Highlights
What Is An Exit Strategy? 

Michelle shared that when starting a business, you want to begin with the end in mind. 
Most businesses are not sellable because the owner did not build a sellable business. Click To Tweet
She also shared that you must always remember that your business is your most valuable asset. 

Why Is An Exit Strategy Important?

With no planned end game, it’s very easy for business owners to get more caught up in the business  they’ve given themselves as opposed to the long-term strategy behind running the business itself. 
An exit strategy keeps that endgame in mind and can make day-to-day decisions more strategic in nature.
If  as a business owner you have no idea where you are going, you will never know when you get there.
Having an exit strategy helps you to  define success and provides a blueprint for charting your progress.

What Does An Exit Strategy Involve? 

Here are a few areas to consider when trying to plan an effective exit strategy:

Clearly establish your business goals.
Set a realistic time frame.
Clearly outline your intentions for the business.
Know what’s next.

Episode Highlights
How To Be Great At Sales Without Being Sleazy? 

We need to learn how to connect with our potential clients first. 
Ensure that you are listening to potential clients more than you are speaking to them.Click To Tweet For instance, if you focus on asking open-ended questions and then listening to their responses, oftentimes you find that they talk themselves into why they may need or want what you’re offering. Listening more is a powerful way to not only build a rapport with clients but also help them see that you’re coming from a place of service, not a place of only wanting to make a sale.
In a case where the person is not interested, it is okay for you to move on. When you allow yourself to move on from that relationship, often the person feels more comfortable and might even end up referring other people to you in the future.

Managing Your Time-

In sales, time management is of great value. 
Managing your time well increases productivity of an individual and also avoids forgetting important things. 
Time management ensures the completion of tasks at a much faster rate and more effectively. Plan your day well in advance.

Building Rapport- 

It is important to build rapport in sales as it helps to build mutual trust and friendship with your customer or client. 
We must take the time to understand our customers’ needs. 
Building rapport with your client/colleague is important as it gets their mind to accept and begin to process your suggestions.

Final Thoughts
Stop selling and start connecting. Focus on the connection- to get to know people and to not go into that call thinking about it only being a sale. Focus on building up your pipeline so that you have those consistent conversations. Celebrate the fact that you had the courage to ask and show up in the first place. 

We do not need to sell to everyone in order to be successful.

Learning A New Skill- 

Learning a new skill allows you to gain new experiences, and trains your brain to handle a wide range of challenges. 
It increases your adaptability when placed in new environments. 
It provides you with the opportunity for growth both personally and professionally. 

Why Should I Invest In Online Courses?

One of the main reasons you should invest in online courses speaks to time-efficiency. 
It offers you flexibility to allow you to fit your classes around your work and personal life, thus giving you access to take the course at your own pace. 
Online means you are able to access the course from anywhere in the world. 

How To Start And Grow My Online Empire 

The first thing you should do is to assess the skills you currently have. What are you passionate about that someone would pay you for?
Then you need to look at something you would like to do or that is in high demand, learn a new skill and offer it to someone who needs you. 
Thirdly, you need to start marketing yourself. Utilize social media to offer your services and promote your skills. 
Think about how you are going to make more sales. 
80% of your day should be spent on marketing activities that will bring in sales, and 20% of your day should be spent on fulfillment: delivering that service to your client or doing a specific task.   

Final Thoughts From Alicia
If you want to be your own boss and start your own business. All you need is the courage to say yes to your business.

Episode Highlights
Ditching Your Comfort Zone- 

Todd speaks about ditching his comfort zone and what he had to go through, being very introverted, not participating in conversations around peers. 
Todd learned that sometimes you have to go out and approach others instead of waiting for them to come to you.
Todd also shared that avoiding difficult conversations at work or in your personal life does not allow for growth and development.

Having Difficult Conversations At Work-

As a leader, being able to have difficult conversations with your employees is an integral part of the success of your team and organization. 
These conversations can be difficult mainly because of fear of failure. Transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability are crucial to change and growth amongst a team. 
Managing difficult conversations helps us build and maintain healthy personal as well as work relationships. 

Difficult Conversation About Growth Through Authenticity, Transparency & Vulnerability- 

Todd shared that when a connection is missing from a team it allows for doubt amongst the team; doubt in that their leader is not concerned with the best interest of the team.
As a leader, whether you are the Team Lead or Manager you have to engage and connect with your team, in order to build a certain level of trust.
Todd shared that communication is important across all levels within a company.
Communication shows team members that you as leader care about your team. 

Fixed Mindset; Not A Growth Mindset- 

Fixed and growth are the two basic mindsets that shape our lives.
We become so sheltered in our comfort zones that instead of embracing challenges, we avoid them. 
One of the main issues with having a fixed mindset versus a growth mindset is that we feel threatened by the success of others instead of finding lessons and inspiration in the success of others. 

 
3 Powerful Quotes from This Episode
“Find joy in being of service to other people”

“If it doesn’t challenge you then it won’t change you”

“Great moves never come from within your comfort zone”

 
About Todd Palmer
