    Lead With Your Endgame In Mind & The TRUTH About Masculinity & Business Success | Jason Sisneros
    Oct 31 2024
    Jason Sisneros’s life isn't your typical success story. It's a tale of clawing your way out of domestic violence and darkness, defying the odds, and building a life of purpose and impact.

Ready to break free? Tune in to this powerful conversation and unlock the courage within you. “Without small and midsized businesses, there is no America.” — Jason Sisneros Golden One Liners Business owners are a unique group of human beings. If you are a business owner, you are historically extremely important. Success isn't guaranteed, but the opportunity to succeed is. Designing your own end game is crucial for success. Masculinity is the competency and ability to administer violence, but choosing not to. Presence and protection is the name of the game. For women especially, knowing your worth is essential for not only personal development, but aligning with the partner of your dreams who wants to protect and cover you til your last breath. Surround yourself with people who uplift and inspire you. Your past does not define your future; you can change your narrative. Building wealth should be in service of others, not just oneself. The peacocks of social media, flaunting their Lamborghinis and boats — they’ll come and go. The truly wealthy know the more money you make, the harder you work to actually look like you don’t have a lot of money. The journey to becoming a king involves mirroring great leaders. The secret to being a great man is being worthy of other great men’s respect. The journey into rescuing victims of human trafficking is often a deeply personal one. As a man, be that shield who protects the vulnerable. The secret to growing your business is to fall in love with your client’s outcome more than your own. Small and mid-sized enterprises play a vital role in the economy, contributing more than 60% of the GDP. Without small and midsized businesses, there is no America. When building your business, start with a clear end goal in mind. Social media can be used for either vanity or profit, choose wisely. Real influence is about genuine connections, not just follower counts. Business is fundamentally about helping others save money, make money, or drastically improving your clients’ lives.
