BRX Pro Tip: Asking for Advice

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, it’s one thing to to be and continue to become coachable. But at a very tactical level, we have to think through. Let’s talk a little bit about asking for advice.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:18] Yeah. Asking for advice, asking for help, I think is an important part of growing as an entrepreneur, as a leader. But be strategic about this. Your friends might be convenient people to ask for advice since you can get to them easily. But unless they’re in your business or are prospects to actually buy your services, their opinion may not be very useful. Just because your friends don’t think that it’s a good idea, it doesn’t mean that the idea isn’t a good idea.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:47] I think it’s much more productive to ask someone who has successfully done what you want to do or has purchased similar services to the one you’re providing, and ask those people for advice. Find those people and ask them for advice, and then you’ll be getting closer to the information that you need that can possibly move the needle in your business.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:08] So, I think asking for advice is critically important. I think it’s important to get advice and learn from other people that have been there and done that. But be selective on who you’re asking and don’t just kind of make a dramatic change just because someone proposed it, because they may not understand what it is you do, what it is you’re selling, and the value that you’re providing. So, ask for advice, but be strategic about who you ask.

BRX Pro Tip: Be Relentless

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you this afternoon. Lee, lots of things that we should probably strive to be, but one thing you got to be in business, you got to be relentless.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:15] Yeah. As an entrepreneur, as a business owner, being relentless is another must have quality. Every day, you got to get to work day after day to do the work. Don’t stop. Don’t be deterred. Just keep battling. Keep grinding. You can do this. And you’re going to win by showing up day after day. That’s what professionals do. They don’t show up when they’re in the mood. They show up every day. They’re trying their best. They’re serving others. They’re connecting others. They’re asking people for the business.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:47] And when people see you doing this, see you battling every day, day after day, then they can’t help but join the cause. They know that if you’re relentless, that you can’t be stopped. So, if you don’t stop, then you cannot be stopped. You can do this. Success might be around the corner. And what’s the thing? The Statue of Liberty is three minutes away. You can kind of probably find that on our website. That story that’s done and I experience when we’re on the –

Stone Payton: [00:01:14] You got to tell it. No. No. Don’t make them hunt it down. Because this had such a huge impact on my life. Give them the short version of that story. I want them to hear it.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:23] Okay. Well, the short version of the story is that, we were on the Brooklyn Bridge and I thought that you could see the Statue of Liberty from the Brooklyn Bridge. And we were walking, the Brooklyn Bridge is longer than you think it is. And we were walking and walking, and we’re walking and we couldn’t see it. And there were buildings blocking the view. And I was pretty sure, but I was kind of losing faith if it’s true, if it was possible to see it on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:51] And, eventually, we asked this guy that was selling something on the bridge, if it’s true. And he’s like, “Oh, yeah. It’s just -” what was it? Three minutes?

Stone Payton: [00:01:59] Three minutes.

Lee Kantor: [00:02:00] “- three more minutes.” And there it was. We walked for a couple more minutes and there it was, you can see the the Statue of Liberty. And that was one of those lessons where, you know, success could be around the corner. You know, success is just three minutes away. But you won’t know that if you stop. So, keep going. Don’t stop. Be relentless.
