Hey guys, Ryan Alford here, host of Write About Now. On today's episode, we bring together really a masterclass in entrepreneurship. We've had over 500 episodes at this stage, and we really have started to aggregate some of the best business knowledge in the industry. And, you know, you can read books, you can listen to shows, but we want to aggregate what we think is some of the best advice. Whether you're an entrepreneur that's just started out or you're in the business for 10 plus years, these are tactics, techniques, actionable advice from some of the best. We've got five of my favorites here. Jasmine Starr says, Jeff Duden from Homefront Brands, Sean Whalen from Lions Not Sheep, Josh Snow from Snow Teeth Whitening, and Devin Klein from Burn Boot Camp.
These are some of my favorite entrepreneurs giving the best advice. That's what we do here. We take the BS out of business in this masterclass series on entrepreneurship on Right About Now. This is Right About Now with Ryan Alford, a Radcast Network production. We are the number one business show on the planet with over 1 million downloads a month. Taking the BS out of business for over six years and over 400 episodes. You ready to start snapping next and cashing checks? Well, it starts right about now. What's up, guys? Welcome to Right About Now. Hey. We're always getting right. And it's always about now. What makes you keep pushing forward? What got you? Something impacted you. Something made you that. Was it nature, nurture? What was it?
Perhaps a mix of both. My father is from Mexico. My mom is from Puerto Rico. My dad came over. I was like 13, 14, and then enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and earned his citizenship. So I think that growing up with that perspective as a first generation Latina, you see your dad being given the golden ticket.
What mindset and grit are essential for entrepreneurial success?
And I think that, you know, I won the genetic lottery by being born in this country. But having a father who was drilled into us like everything. We are so incredibly fortunate to live in a country where you don't have barriers to do the thing that you want. It is on the back end of people who are having the hotspot and the audacity to do something that they are unqualified to do. And so having that growing up, but then also realizing you're owed nothing. Getting into the country, congrats. Being born into this country, congrats, you're old jack squat. Everything that you have is on the back of your willingness to do the damn work. And so what it made me gritty knowing I'm owed nothing. I don't, just because I start a business doesn't mean my business should be successful.
Just because I start a business and it's successful doesn't mean I'm gonna be the top 1%. If I go in and my, my perspective, just like Simon Sinek says that this is an infinite game. There's no such thing as winning in business. You can win your own game, but many of us don't even define what the game we're playing is. And so all of a sudden we play a game in our own mind where we move the goalpost. And so it's just like all this year, you know, it's like, I'm going to do my 10 million. And the minute we get to 9.5, it's like, No, no, no. I see what I need. What I really meant was 11. And then we beat ourselves up at the end of the year because we didn't do the thing that we wanted to do. What game are you actually playing? Because the minute that we define our rubric of success, because sometimes money isn't always the goal. Sometimes the goal is, do I have more time to do the things I want to do with the people I want to do it?
with it's like what is the point of having an 11 million dollar a year if on the back of it you missed the people and the things that were the most important to you you didn't win you lost you just didn't know what game you were playing so for us to actually have a conversation of like what makes you gritty well first and foremost let's talk about what we're owed nothing let's talk about how we win setting some goals and then working like hell to get them but not at the cost of compromising the thing that's the most important to you so what makes me gritty the fact that i have simply chosen
