  • Failure and Success (000 - Trailer)
    Sep 18 2019
    0:43 (https://www.waytogreatness.com/001?t=43) - Failure is inevitable. Let’s face, you are going to fail, guaranteed. 0:53 (https://www.waytogreatness.com/001?t=53) - So what do you do next? And that is the defining question. The question that makes all the difference in the world between the people who become tremendous successes and the people who wallow along in the troughs of history. 1:29 (https://www.waytogreatness.com/001?t=89) - Some people fail a little bit and can never get past that point of failure in their life. 1:47 (https://www.waytogreatness.com/001?t=107) - Yet successes of all types come specifically from when people take a chance. 2:01 (https://www.waytogreatness.com/001?t=121) - In our lives, especially in these days with social media around us everywhere, all we are being presented with is success. 2:28 (https://www.waytogreatness.com/001?t=148) - We’re living in a curated world. 2:41 (https://www.waytogreatness.com/001?t=161) - Yet a normal path for everybody is to go from success to failure, success to failure. 3:13 (https://www.waytogreatness.com/001?t=193) - So why did I start this podcast? 4:20 (https://www.waytogreatness.com/001?t=260) - I wanted to chronicle the journey from failure and mediocrity to success and greatness. There are so many of us that are floundering around in this state of mediocrity, not because we aren’t doing anything great, but because we haven’t made it yet, or haven’t found the right niche yet. 5:34 (https://www.waytogreatness.com/001?t=334) - A lot of people, by default, define success by the amount of money people make. 8:01 (https://www.waytogreatness.com/001?t=481) - The real question is, how do you define greatness, and how are you getting there? 9:58 (https://www.waytogreatness.com/001?t=598) - Let’s talk to people! Let’s get their insights! Let’s get their outlook. Let’s learn what they learned so that when we’re at the top, and when we’re at the bottom, we don’t necessarily have to make the same mistakes, or, we can have a better perspective….that helps us deal with it and move past it.

He shares how he started his online career by writing blogs. And as time passed by, he realized the power of LinkedIn in connecting with people for career advancement. Brian saw how people struggle with getting hired for their dream jobs. He experienced talking to different people who are too frustrated because of rejection. This pushed him to create content that teaches people how to crack interviews to get hired. His post “How To Write A Resume” gained 44,000 likes and 36,000 comments which aim to help people get interviewed & get hired. No one is safe in the current world crisis. People are getting laid-off all over the world. Businesses are shutting down. The economy is crashing. But how do you stand up and protect yourselves from the damage? How do you fight the enemy that you can’t see? PREPARATION. Preparing your mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial health could be the answer. No one knows what the real cure is. But preparing yourself for the unforeseen circumstances helps you to go through it with CALMNESS & COURAGE. Important Links: Laid Off Webinar with Ari Gunzburg (https://mindspark.webinarninja.com/live-webinars/314277/register) Brian Golod’s Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/briangolod/) Immigration Sniper (https://www.immigrationsniper.com/) Interview Sniper (https://www.interviewsniper.com/) Mondetize (https://www.mondetize.com/) 3 Exceptional Takeaways: Do what you think is right for everybody else. You need to work on your own safety. Stop boxing yourself. Invest in your own personal and professional development off your industry *Show Highlights: * 3:12 Who is Brian Golod? I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I lived there until I was almost 20 years old. And we moved to Canada almost 16 years ago with my parents and my sister. We went from a big city Buenos Aires with millions of people to a very small town in Canada, in the smallest province with just 140,000 people and he was a huge change. 6:56 How did his post go viral? But a lot of people actually said to me, or they were saying not to me, but I mean, they were saying all these guys just trying to become famous overnight. What they didn't know is that they had posted 720 times before that one, right. So there's a thing about being consistent and showing up and doing on a daily basis, and they never took a break. 16:06 What does failure mean to him? I think that I associate failure with disappointment. With disappointing other people, especially when I don't want to disappoint other people. 27:47 How did he unlock his potential? I was starting to write articles on LinkedIn. And I didn't write that many,18 ,right. And then I realized that I need to write posts. So what happened is that at some point, at the beginning of my journey on LinkedIn, someone out of South Africa reached out to me, and he said, Brian, can you help me with my next interview? 39:38 What does he want to be perceived when it comes to his service? But some people choose to come with me and some people choose to go with him, and that's totally fine. So I want to do work less. But they also believe that my service, I want to be perceived as the Rolls Royce of whatever it is that they do, because what's the value that I believe I am delivering. 44:47 What does he say about the current world crisis? We're all hurting. A lot of organizations are shutting down as I was mentioning 10 million applications for employment insurance or unemployment insurance in the States, proportionally, we've had the same in Canada, a million, so we're 10 times less in Canada. 52:04 What is the benefit of jumping from one organization to another? So whenever you jump from one organization to another, it's amazing because you keep on learning new skills. You keep on pushing yourself, you're always in a new environment where you have to excel. You keep on meeting new people who might have better opportunities down the road for you, you might make new friends, your best friend for life. 55:50 Why is money not a big deal to him? First of all, that's not my personality. I'm not building relationship with people to try to take their money, I build relationships with people because I truly care to get to know them. 1:01 What advice does he have for people who would like to shift their career? So the first one is that they have to be polished, they need to seize the opportunity whenever the opportunity knocks on their doors, right? If there's an opportunity knocking on your door and you are not ready, you don't have a resume. You don't know how to interview well. You're not presentable. You don't even have a suit to go to an interview. 1:19:20 How does professional development help in the middle of the pandemic? I believe that people need to continue advancing in their careers and they ...

The very nature of online is that you want to cut through the noise. You have to speak really, really loudly because you're competing with billions of other voices. I think that it's an art to be truly humble. It's a work in progress. Show Highlights: 1:35 - Where did the Amazon madman come from? Oh, it's simple. I mean there is the show Mad Men right, which is about Madison men who are an advertising on Madison Avenue. 3:20 - How did he start with his company Boutique Sellers? Yeah.

I always had a very, very broad outlook and, you know, view of, of my financial life, meaning I was able to visualize myself making a lot more money than I did. 6:39 - What was his experience as a solopreneur at the Boutique Sellers? Yeah, we've three offices now. I see lots of growing pain as we're switching over from an agency to more of an automated software model. 9:20 - How does he handle failure? It's one long journey. And I don't think I'm pretty conservative by nature, right? So I've never gone and said, Hey, here's a million dollars, let's invest in this and then it just crashes and burns. 13:32 - What does he think about LinkedIn? I don't engage on any other platforms besides LinkedIn. And you know, LinkedIn got its let's say, let's just say margins as well. We want to be careful with but I've really learned to leverage LinkedIn and LinkedIn as a business professional, whether it's b2b, even b2c. 18:41 - Why does he post rants online? Number one, like I try to tell people online on LinkedIn, I don't really know sometimes I like to actually have a conversation like, I don't know you. I'm not really talking to you, like don't get insulted. 22:33 How does he define Greatness? Humility. Be great by being small 23:53 - What is his one piece of advice for people to get on their Way To Greatness? Cliche, but add value like stop trying to pitch people. I think it's the number one mistake people make is they pitch. Originally recorded 2/27/2020 Special Guest: Joel Wolh.
