Hour 38 - Las Vegas Day 4
Andrew Matthews - The Being Happy Podcast Episode 3: 5 Things Successful People Do - That You Can Do Too!
Tip # 1: Successful People Start Small - For example Steven Spielberg was shooting home movies, editing them and charging his friends a small fee to watch them way before he starting doing Hollywood blockbusters. Ingvar Kamprad, the owner of Ikea was selling a lot of smaller items before he came up with the idea of selling collapsible furniture.
Andrew Matthews did over 200 professional talks FOR FREE, both locally and overseas, before he was ever paid, and now he is paid a very well.
I have a lot of author and non-author friends who want to be professional speakers, however maybe we need to keep this tip of starting small in mind. Not every talk we do, especially in the early stages of our careers, needs to be paid for, and instead we should be using some of these opportunities to hone our craft.
Tip # 2: We need to learn to ask for HELP. Often we won’t ask for help, because of fear of rejection, but by not asking you’ll never know the answer.
When we allow someone else to help us, it can often be a pleasure to them and it can opens up opportunities for ourselves, and if we do get rejected, eventually you’ll get use to it and it will remove your fear of rejection in the future.
So ask for help when you need it, especially from friends and family.
