Your personal brand is a business. And if you don’t run it like a business, then it will never succeed as one. That’s one of our first key takeaways from our previous episode with wildly successful entrepreneurs Kevin Harrington and Mark Timm. Today, AJ and Rory Vaden discuss the powerful insights that arose in that incredible conversation. Our second takeaway highlights the value of mentors in unlocking your potential. Following this, we chat about having the humility to learn from mentors who are younger than you and the challenge of finding the right mentor. Reflecting on the Zig Ziglar quote that, “You don’t drown from falling into the water. You drown from staying there,” we explore the importance of having a mentor who has experienced failure before. As AJ explains, they’ll know how to help you when you deal with your failings. Near the end of this episode, we dive into Mark’s idea that you should treat your family as if it were your most important business. According to this idea, it needs systems and clever planning to run it properly. For our final insight, we talk about the impact of collaboration and how it gives you access to greater audiences — a secret behind both Mark and Kevin’s success. Tune in and hear more from our conversation with Mark and Kevin, two business and branding masters.
