Not only has he achieved remarkable success despite being dyslexic, but he has also been honored with a star on the Walk of Fame.Greg shares his wealth of knowledge and unique strategies for achieving success. He emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with people and seeking mentors who have achieved the results you desire, rather than those who simply offer opinions without experience. Greg highlights the distinction between strategy and plan, illustrating how flexibility and openness to unexpected opportunities can lead to success. He shares a memorable anecdote about interviewing S. Truett Cathy, the founder of Chick-fil-A, who taught him to capitalize on unexpected opportunities rather than rigidly following a predetermined plan.Greg also provides a powerful piece of advice through the CPC method – Clues, Patterns, Choices. This method stresses accountability and the importance of recognizing patterns and making informed choices. By paying attention to the clues and patterns in our lives, we can make better decisions and avoid unnecessary frustration. Greg’s energy and passion shine as he shares his experiences and the fact that clarity in your requests opens up doors of opportunity. He gives practical tips, such as asking for a specific amount of time when reaching out to busy individuals, which can dramatically increase your chances of getting a response. Greg also touches on the importance of a positive mental attitude and how it can significantly impact your success. He suggests that having enthusiasm and a positive outlook can open more doors than even the most meticulously crafted business plan. One of the highlights of our conversation is Greg’s approach to detaching from the outcome of his efforts. He explains the difference between being non-attached and detached, emphasizing that while he gives his all to every project, he does not let the result define him. This mindset allows him to move from one project to the next without being bogged down by the potential for failure.One of Greg’s projects, a documentary and book titled "The Secret of Happiness," illustrates his relentless pursuit of understanding and sharing wisdom. By interviewing a diverse group of individuals, from celebrities like Coolio to monks, he seeks to uncover what makes people happy. This project is yet another example of how Greg applies his strategies of clarity, specificity, and seeking counsel from those who have achieved what he aims to explore.Resources Mentioned:Greg Reid: Website | LinkedIn |_____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.
