Growthpreneurs Podcast by Growth Academy

How Matt Saupala, went from being a broke Marine working three jobs to make ends meet to becoming a multimillionaire in the insurance industry. He also shares how his mentor, Patrick Bet David, has helped him grow throughout the years and the traits you need to succeed as an entrepreneur.

To succeed, the right people need to know that you exist. They also need to trust you enough to give you a chance, to give you an opportunity. Consistent content creation is the relentless factor in being able to differentiate your brand from the rest so that you can get the most success. 

Going live on social is going to help creators stand out in 2021.  People want to feel connected to authentic influencers they can relate to now more than ever... and live video removes all filters. Live also has many other benefits, such as the ability to do more in less time and the ability to leverage one piece of content over and over and over again... 

In this episode, Shea Schneider and I have a conversation about the ten things you are always in control of. 

In this podcast episode, I talk about the two things that 85% of your success in life depends on. The first is your personality, and the second is your ability to relate to other people. If 85% of our success relies on these two factors... why do we spend so little time cultivating them? And better question is, how can we start?

In this podcast, I talk about the most powerful content strategy you can ever imagine... creating content that people want to SHARE. I talk about why this should be the core of your content strategy, and how ironically it is an often neglected piece of content strategies across all industries. 

In this episode, I speak with Aravinth Panch, Founder of Dreamspace Academy. Aravinth is no stranger to suffering and struggle. He was born during a time of war in Sri Lanka... Where the only thing that could guarantee your safety or freedom was who you knew. So from a very early age, he knew that his network was a million times more valuable than money. As a young pre-teen, he had to separate from his family and go to India, where he was considered a refugee. Today, he lives in Germany and helps people in Sri Lanka become entrepreneurs in very innovative fields. 

Here are the top 10 EXCUSES  you need to stop telling yourself if you want to change your life:

1. If I had money....
   
2. If I had not failed....
   
3. If I had more time....
   
4. If I had a good education....
   
5. If I had done things differently....
   
6. If I had more confidence in my ability....
   
7. If I had the talent that some people have.....
   
8. If I had been given a chance to prove myself....
   
9. If I had no fear for what they’d say about me....
   
10. If I had the courage to believe in myself enough to take a chance....

In this podcast episode, I talk about how you can overcome each and every one of them....

The #1 way to get a job: NETWORK.

Numbers don’t lie: referrals are the best way to apply. 

Here’s why...

1. Employee referrals have the highest applicant to hire conversion rate.

2. 40% of new hires are employee referrals.

3. Companies want employees to refer great talent.

Based on these odds, if I were a job seeker, I would invest 80% of my time networking with people, instead of spending that time on very overcrowded job boards.

As the saying goes, you’re either networking or not working.
