Don’t Look at Competition Too Much "There is always going to be competition, there are always people doing than you, and its also easy to be jealous. Competition isn’t a bad thing. Just because your buddy is making millions, and you’re making only $30k, is ok. Trust your path." If Everyone is Doing the Same Thing, Do Something Different Tyson used to worked at a car dealership and it was custom to shake a customers hand and greet them at the door. So every sales person would constantly stay in the same spot, expecting the people to walk in. It would be at that point that they would hope to get the sale. Well, if the best sales person is doing that exact same thing, try and find a different strategy that they aren't doing. So stand in a different spot, maybe go to the back and work your way to the front. “Rookie” entrepreneurs look at the same industry and try to replicate it, Tyson realized that everyone was educating people about sports. So Tyson decided to go a different route. Have a Good Team Around You "Have people push you and bring you back down to reality. Money is a big portion in business, but have those people who can tell you it’s ok to be where you’re at." One of my favorite quotes from this podcast is as follows: "Trust your own journey and trust you’re doing the right thing. Embrace the journey." #Timestamp 00:30: Introduction 06:15: Struggles In Writing The Book 08:45: Biggest Failure 10:30: Habits About Efficiencies 14:45: Resources and Internal Processes 16:30: How Tyson Named His Book 18:20: Don’t Look at Competition Too Much, If Everyone is Doing the Same Thing, Do Something Different, and Have a Good Team Around You 20:00: Old School Word Docs 24:45: Cheez-Its Tyson Hartnett Website: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aradhyamalhotra Twitter: https://twitter.com/tysonhartnett Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tysonhartnett Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/athlete-minded-stories/id1091313081?mt=2 Podcast Website: http://athleteminded.libsyn.com/podcast Originally Recorded: December 23, 2015 __________ Techie, Millennial Author, WWE Fan, Podcaster.
