Whether you run your own business...
Or you work as an employee inside of a business...
You must understand that the amount of money you make is in direct correlation to how much value you provide.
If you don't provide any value...
You're not going to make any money.
If you provide a ton of value...
You're going to make a ton of money.
That's the game.
...and if you want to compete in that game at a high level...
You must put in the work to become someone who can provide a tremendous amount of value.
You have to build skills...
You have to take conscious, intentional reps...
You have to always be learning...
You have to put the mission and others before yourself.
You have to do these things consistently and never fucking stop.
Don't buy into the idea that becoming successful requires screwing people over or doing some shady shit to get ahead...
The real key to monetary success is about building as much value in your name as possible through the results you produce.
Period.
