The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex
Tragic Career Ending Injury to 7 Figure Entrepreneur ft. Trey Toner

Those people became unemployed, and not because of me. I never fired anybody. Those people became unemployed because they weren't willing to change. So what do I mean by that? The things that I'm looking for are people who can judge things based off statistics. Age is a stat you can't change. What you can change is how many hours you work, how seriously you take your profession.

And those people who are sitting there like, oh, this kid's 19, he got this, all that, that, I've accomplished more in my first two years of being an adult than they've done in the past 40. So when anyone's pointing a finger, it's the old classic where you got three of them pointing back at you, right?

So if you have a problem with me and my age, and all I'm doing is increasing the company's bottom line, doubling, tripling, and quadrupling the revenue that you guys did last year, that says a lot about you, doesn't it? So that was the approach I would take. And being a football player, being aggressive, I play on defense. It's not a very passive position.

Every single play, I'm smacking somebody in the mouth. I took a very aggressive approach. I'm like, if you have a problem, let's talk about it. And it doesn't matter who you are, how old you are. In a non-confrontational way, I'm like, hey, let's talk. And majority of the time, there's not substance there when someone is holding you against age.

Because for me, when I look to hire somebody, I don't care. You can be 80. You can be 18. It doesn't matter. The thing I look for, are you willing to learn? Are you willing to show up? And are you willing to commit? Notice how none of those are skills. Notice how none of those are past experiences. None of those are on the resume. I just want to know if you're willing.

And I don't want to make this too casual, but they're just dogs. They have the fucking dog in them. To be successful in sales, you have to have the ability to look at someone and guide them through the product. Yes, make sure it's an ethical product to sell. But at the end of the day, you have to have the ability to look at them in their eyes and extract cash out of their wallet.

That's not for the faint of heart. Because here's the deal. Sometimes it's very hard to ask someone to invest $50,000 if you don't even have 50K in your own bank account. So a lot of hypocrite syndrome happens from that where you're just like, I can't ask someone to do something I haven't done. So I'm a big believer in actions. I make my sales guys go buy programs. I make them go buy books.

I make them do personal development because I believe people will buy as you buy. So if you're not consistently investing in yourself, why the fuck would someone spend money with you? Absolutely right. It doesn't make much sense. So having them do that, it's perfect. But there's a couple principles.
