Tool 1 –We are Always Selling
Ourselves
In a relationship, business or
otherwise, it is ME that the
person is listening to
For someone to truly believe in
my concept, they must believe
in me first. i.e. investors, my
team, employees, and all
stakeholders
This will require me to be a
confident, reliable, and
trustworthy individual who
truly believes that my concept
will work!
Tool 2 – Building Report
From Adam Shavitz
Since we are always selling ourselves, I can use this model to build a
relationship with anyone! For business or personal relationships
This will enable me to build my network in an easier more solid way
It will require me to focus on the conversation and stay attentive to
the person in which I am dealing with
Tool 3 – Getting Your Idea
I may have the greatest product
in the world, but if no body is
willing to purchase, I don’t have
a business
When starting or growing my
business, the Customer comes
first! Paying attention to their
needs is imperative to
sustainable business concept.
I will need to treat the customer
as if they are my boss. I answer
directly to them.
Tool 4 – Work Smarter, Not Harder
In the first two challenges, I
was more concerned with
our service and our team.
For the last concept, I made
it simple!
Customers appreciate a
concept they can understand
and stand behind
I put in less work and had
greater result from the third
challenge because I
simplified the model to
attend to the customers
needs.
Tool 5 – Have a Meaningful Purpose
Hearing Nathan Nguyen
discuss why he had his
business, I realized that I
needed to incorporate a
purpose behind my concept.
No matter what happens, with
a higher purpose behind my
concept, I will be able to
persevere.
Goes back to Tool 1: I can
always sell myself if I truly
believe in the purpose of my
concept
Tool 6 – Keep it Simple
Going back to working smarter and
not harder, Wurstkuche played an
important role in giving me this tool.
Take something simple and tweak it.
It does not to be complicated to be
successful
Since I have incorporated this
attitude into my new concept, I
firmly believe my concept can be
successful
However, it will require me to stay
focused on not overcomplicating it
in the future. Small tweaks can offer
product differentiation and open
doors to new customers.
Tool 7 – Age Doesn’t Matter
By seeing Nathan Nguyen on the news, I realized that age
doesn’t matter. It’s all about attitude!
I can use this when I am nervous about an individual taking
me seriously because of my age and lack of experience
But with knowledge of the industry and trust in myself, I can
focus on maintaining a positive attitude and get results
Tool 8 – Presentation Skills
With feedback from multiple judges, I
gained many tools. Here’s 3:
PowerPoints are great, but they’re looking at
me
Financials are what they want to see
And keep the viewers interested in the
presentation
When selling my product on the street,
pitching investors, or motivating
employees, I can bring these tools to the
table to create the result I am aiming for
It will require me to once again to stay
attentive to my viewer, understand their
needs, and pitch appropriately. Once
again, I’m selling myself
Tool 9 – The Competition is YOU(ME)
I tend to compare myself and my results to others, but I can always
find someone faster, more intelligent, more successful, etc.
In retrospect, I have experienced more growth in the past few years
than most people do in entire lifetime. Hence, I need to stop
comparing myself to others, and compare myself with myself.
By always competing against myself, I can always strive to do better
Tool 10 – If Money is the Problem, I
Don’t Have a Problem
There are always ways to get more
money
Real problems involve health, family, or
global concerns.
I tend to be a highly stressed individual by
nature, but with this approach, I can focus
on what truly matters in life. I can always
find more ways to get more money.
This will definitely require me to
remember this tool when the utility bills
come in and medical bills begin piling up,
but it will be important for to remember
that I can get more money, I can’t get
more time
