Action Catalyst listeners, welcome back to Overtime with Outland. This is going to be for episode 460 with entrepreneur and television personality, Bill Rancic. In this episode, we learned a handful of things from someone that's been really successful in career, business, and show business. And we peeled back the layers to figure three things that would be really beneficial for our listeners here.

Number one, you don't learn much from success. Like so many other entrepreneurs, Bill believes in failure and being comfortable with it. He especially believes that the effect social media is having on our younger generations, where all they see is the success and the victory, and no one shares the struggle and the failure, is creating unrealistic ideas of how the world works.

He especially believes that the effect social media is having on our younger generations, where all they see is the success and the victory, and no one shares the struggle and the failure, is creating unrealistic ideas of how the world works.

And it's possibly hindering the development of young entrepreneurs. He says that making a mistake isn't failure. Making the same mistake twice is. Number two, as a leader, treat yourself like the conductor of an orchestra. The conductor doesn't play an instrument himself. He doesn't do all the work himself.

Number two, as a leader, treat yourself like the conductor of an orchestra. The conductor doesn't play an instrument himself. He doesn't do all the work himself.

He hires the very best people and then knows how to get the best out of each of them individually, as well as together as a team. Be a conductor. Set the tempo for your team and help them get the most out of themselves for the business. Number three, have a mindset of creating solutions more so than fixing problems. That might sound like the same thing, but it isn't.

That might sound like the same thing, but it isn't.

There's always going to be problems. Even the things designed to fix problems could one day develop problems themselves. Make your goal with the service you provide or product you create about creating a solution, maybe even anticipating a solution someone didn't even know they wanted or needed. Apple was famous for doing this with its products.

And Bill says Elon Musk is doing the same thing today with his companies. A solution versus a fix to a problem. The words may sound similar, but the difference is huge. And for the full interview, check out Action Catalyst episode 460 with Bill Rancic.

If you're already within a larger company, use those companies' resources like legal, marketing, IT, and other assets as a safety net to work on the thing that in the future can launch you as an entrepreneur. Start that journey now while you have the support systems already in place on someone else's investment.

Luis and I also talk about the differences in how you show up in social media and different platforms. A key thing to keep in mind if you're promoting yourself or your business on social is the exact same customers can behave very differently depending on the platform where you're reaching them.

On LinkedIn, for example, you need to be more professional and you need to be sharing information that adds value or educates. Instagram, by contrast, is more like a virtual water cooler. This is where you can be a bit more playful and fun and prospects can establish a stronger connection to your brand and your vibe rather than just what you can provide them.
