Episode description

Have you ever watched a movie based on a true story and wondered how much of that is actually true? Well on an exciting episode of today's podcast Rob is joined by Jordan Belfort, the real-life Wolf Of Wall Street. They discuss the similarities and differences between real life and what was shown in the movie, as well as how learning from your mistakes can enable a successful comeback.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Everybody makes mistakes and everybody does great things. You are going to make mistakes in life and perhaps get in some trouble along the way. The fact that others may be making the same mistakes, or not playing by the rules still doesn’t make it right. Don’t look back on your mistakes and make excuses for them, the good stuff you will do with your life will outweigh any of the bad mistakes you may have made.

You should never doubt yourself and your ability to be successful again, after losing everything. When you are good at what you do, perhaps you can sell at a high level, and you understand the business skills and mindset of someone great, you can always come back from adversity. You may not make your comeback in the same way as before, you may go on an accidental journey to your new-found success.

Learn from your previous mistakes and turn them into life lessons, by taking something that you used abused, and flipping it in a different way. Take that power and redirect the energy in the exact opposite direction and turn it into amazing things.

Delay your gratification, don’t try to make it tomorrow. Many of the early problems you may face in your career will be based on an inability to delay your desire for instant gratification.

True disruption is really about going into a market and finding a much better way of doing things, and as a result of that putting most of the people that are doing the service out of business or forcing them to adapt to the better business model.
