What are the key decision points for making career pivots?
Welcome back to the game. This is a guest spot on Diary of a CEO with Stephen Bartlett. This is going to be a two parter. And so part one is a little bit more on the what are the key decision points for making pivots in a career? Number two is what kind of fuel you use in order to make, basically to continue to drive on after you've seen success.
How do you get others to comply with your requests?
Number three, how to get other people to do stuff for you, either within the business or if you were the entrepreneur running the business. Some things that we found that increased the likelihood of compliance with requests, which is just the fancy way of saying the same thing I just said, which is get people to do stuff that you want them to do. Enjoy.
What is the entrepreneur life cycle and where do most people get stuck?
If you want to make more money, you might want to consider doing this. So number one is hold that thought for just a second, because the thing that comes before that is misgraphy. Oh, God. This is the entrepreneur life cycle. And there are six stages. Now, the vast majority of people get stuck on stage three. That means one of the biggest career mistakes at this point. And you end up living the same six months for 20 straight years suffering until you learn how to break free from it.
I want to go through the whole thing.
This is going to be f***ing awesome.
Alex Hormozy is the master of business strategy. An artist in scaling companies into the millions and a leading voice in how to craft your way to success.
He's an entrepreneurial powerhouse. Whether you're starting out or want to go from 1 million to 10 million, there are certain behaviors and actions that will increase the likelihood of success that we're going to go through. But here's the really hard truth that a lot of people don't like talking about.
How do fear and shame affect entrepreneurship?
Entrepreneurs must be willing to make impossible choices, have the courage to be willing to be wrong, have shame by failing at things in front of people whose opinions they care about. And that fear keeps people stuck in a job and a life they don't want for years. And that was my path. I had a white-collar job, a condo overlooking the city. Everything was according to plan. And I remember thinking, like, I didn't want to be alive. Because I was so afraid. But once you get over the fear, it unleashes this whole new realm of possibility of being able to do what you want. And that is when you can learn the real game of entrepreneurship, such as knowing that business ideas typically come from one of three Ps. And you only need one of those three.
And then there's the four Rs for customer success, how to learn new skills quickly, how to stand out in a competitive market, the winning strategy for 2025, and so much more.
So where should I start? If someone's just clicked on this conversation and they're considering listening for the next couple of hours, based on everything that you do for the millions of entrepreneurs that follow you, that read your books, can you tell me exactly why you believe they should stay and listen and who should stay and listen?
At acquisition.com, we scale businesses. The content that I generate that we put out, conversations like this, helps people who are going from zero to one, just getting off the ground, to helping people go from 1 million to 10 million, to helping the entrepreneurs going from 10 to 100 either get there or exit along the way. And there are frameworks that cross all three of those that I consider both deep and wide. that help any business navigate whatever strategic decision is in front of them to get the highest potential return for their time. And so if you're listening or watching, then if one of those frameworks applies immediately to your business and allows you to pull five years forward in your career, I would say that's a pretty good return on time.
What frameworks help entrepreneurs make better decisions?
For the people that are at zero, what is it that they're typically coming to you to help them with? So if you were one of them, what is it that they want from Alex or Mosey?
I think there's what they think they want and what they actually need, which are two different things. And so I think what they think they want is some tactic that's going to immediately help them start a business. What they typically actually need is... the courage to be willing to be wrong and to be willing to have shame by failing at things in front of people whose opinions they care about.
