356: 7 Lessons I Learned From Two 7-Figure Entrepreneurs
Episode description
As I’ve learned and grown as an entrepreneur, I have tried to study and learn from those who are further along on the journey. I’ve come to understand that I can learn as much from their hard lessons and challenges as I can from their successes. Today’s session is based on a podcast interview I listened to a couple of months ago. It featured Ali Abdaal and Sahil Bloom, two online creators who have built 7-figure businesses and audiences of over 6 million followers. In their insightful interview done in two parts, they talked a lot about life and business; I’m sharing seven lessons I picked up from them that I’m implementing in my business and personal life.
You’ll Learn:
- 7 Lessons I Learned from Ali and Sahil:
- Change the wealth scoreboard.
- Don’t define self-worth based on net worth.
- A new definition of success bases “wealth” on health, relationships, and the time I have for the things I enjoy.
- Set daily non-negotiables.
- Live with intention by identifying 3-5 things that must happen each day for me to be at my best.
- Friends over followers
- The quality of my relationships greatly impacts my health.
- Schedule time to connect with genuine friends.
- More growth equals more haters.
- Sharing my message attracts people with a lot of pain, so I should default to empathy.
- Don’t be a slave to social media.
- Be careful about posting pictures of kids and sharing revenue numbers.
- This is difficult to navigate while still establishing credibility and the human connection that people crave.
- Build micro-businesses.
- These can generate cash flow with minimal involvement.
- An example: having an in-house agency along with doing a podcast.
- Connection over mass content
- With AI, content is easier than ever to create, but connection and authenticity help others know, like, and trust me.
