After returning from two weeks in the Okavango Delta of Botswana, Africa I had a fun experience in the airport that had a very valuable lesson. Let me ask you this question, in negotiations who is the party that’s in control? The person that’s speaking or the one asking the questions? Despite what a lot of people may think, the person who is talking is not the one that’s in control. Last week while traveling through the airport in Botswana, I decided to take a chance and check out a new private lounge. After walking in and simply sitting down, a few minutes later a kind lady came and asked if I belonged to the club. After explaining that I did not and asking a few strategic questions, we found ourselves at a stale mate… So what did I do? I engaged in some strategic, silence. Silence is golden! Tune in to today’s brief episode as I tell the story about how silence got me free access to the most exclusive airport lounge in Africa. — Looking for more sales and negotiation tips?

On this weeks episode of Journey To Legacy I have a fun story for you around when we went camping last weekend! We decided on a whim to hit the mountains, and one morning we all got around the camp fire and celebrated small wins and victories in life. I had a cheap bottle of champagne with me that I brought along for no real specific reason, but when I woke up in the morning I decided that the purpose of this champagne was going to be for us to all celebrate a success or an accomplishment that we’ve recently achieved. Specifically a SMALL win / accomplishment. How often do you congratulate yourself or celebrate the small victories in your life? This is something that’s very important to consciously do as we often times get lost in search of huge goals and hitting huge targets! We forget about the day-to-day journey and the small wins and accomplishments that happen as we grow and develop towards the bigger goals and bigger targets. When we take the time to acknowledge and celebrate the small things

Nonverbal communication is often times more important than the actual words you are using. A few months back I had a conversation in a video all about smiling in a sales call but this topic has recently come back up. Today I will tell you the story and explain how forcing a smile onto your face will subconsciously change your sales abilities and affect the person on the other side of the call in a positive way in your favor. Smiling is arguably the biggest sales hack I’ve ever found (other than asking questions…) What do you think? How could this concept be improved?

Here’s a cool story around how I used my mind and manifestation to win Apple AirPods and how you can use the same tactics to get anything you want in life! It all has to do with the simple fact of being willing to take small actions while you are manifesting things into existence. Don’t be the person to just think and dream and visualize, you must be the person that is also willing to take the necessary actions to make things happen! Even if it is just a small action, as easy as going to look for the very first parking spot…

It’s been more than a year since the last episode that I published on Journey to Legacy and that’s simply because of a mindset problem I was dealing with. I had not previously decided what I wanted the exact new format of the show to be or honestly I made it out in my mind that it needed to be something bigger than what I was capable of delivering to people, but because of a recent conversation with a friend I realized that simple stories around my life and around the journey that I’m going through is more than good enough for the podcast. So moving forward the Journey to Legacy podcast will truly be a documentary of sorts around my life and my Journey to Legacy and then at the same time I will be sprinkling interviews throughout with entrepreneurs, thought leaders and change makers in this world so that they may share their stories and their Journey to Legacy as well. My hope is that you all may learn from us and the problems that we’re facing and have overcome, and hopefully you will be able to navigat

I was recently listening to a podcast by Dean Graziosi on a life altering subject: He stated that “the level of your problems equals the level of your success.” What is meant by this is that in your day to day if you’re just facing and overcoming small problems, than the successes in your life after you overcome these problems will be small also. But, if you face big problems, then your successes and accomplishments will also be big! Listen to this short episode of Work Grind Hustle to hear me share a brief parable about how problems are absolutely necessary in live in order to be able to have successes and reach your goals.
