• Importance of discernment when bringing people into your business
• Recognizing patterns of unethical behavior, not just isolated incidents
• Prioritizing ethical relationships and being willing to walk away from untrustworthy individuals

• Aligning your success with doing good in the world through innovative business models

• Surround yourself with a team that consistently demonstrates their commitment to your success, as the trust and alignment within this team can be a powerful driver of growth and innovation.
• Consider business models that allow you to directly tie your financial success to the positive impact you create in the world.

About Jeff Smith:

Jeff Smith is an experienced entrepreneur with a diverse background in direct sales and network marketing. Born and raised in Idaho, Smith grew up on a farm, learning the value of hard work from a young age.

After initially planning to become a dentist, Smith had a change of heart while in college, realizing he did not want to be tied to that career path for the rest of his life. This led him to explore other opportunities, and he soon discovered the world of direct sales.

Smith found great success in the summer sales industry, earning over $60,000 one summer selling insulation door-to-door. This experience sparked his interest in building residual income streams, and he began to delve deeper into the network marketing space.

In this episode, your hosts, Jason and Scott, together with Jeff Smith discuss:

• Willingness to Fail and Learn
• Developing Strong People Skills
• Passion for Creating Residual Income
• Importance of Investing in Yourself
• Identifying and Improving Upon Existing Solutions

Key Takeaways:

• Failure should not be feared, but rather embraced as a chance to learn and improve, and Jeff Smith's willingness to try new things, even if they didn't work out, allowed him to develop the skills and resilience needed to achieve long-term success.
• Effective communication and understanding people are critical for entrepreneurial success, as Jeff discovered.
• Jeff's drive to "make money while you sleep" through network marketing highlights the value of creating residual income sources.
• Rather than relying solely on formal education, Jeff emphasizes the importance of investing in yourself through hands-on experience, skill-building, and continuous learning, and this self-directed approach can unlock new opportunities and pathways to success.
• By focusing on enhancing existing solutions, innovators can carve out unique niches and provide genuine value to their customers and communities.

"Don't be afraid to engage in things that are sometimes scary. That is, if that's what you want to be in. I want to learn how to do this. I want to learn how to do it better. How can I do it better than is being done? Now, that's the secret.” — Jeff Smith
