The Episode: The Secrets to Focusing on the Right Things in Your Business

A lot of people who start a business don’t realize how many of the things they thought were important don't really matter at all. Near the top of the list: trademarks, Instagram posts, and the hottest exercises. Jon, Carolina, and Ren explain what parts of your business you should worry about. Don't miss the best content in the entire history of the PTDC (according to at least one listener).

Key Points and Time Stamps

  • The best content the PTDC has ever produced (apparently)
  • Do you understand what your clients really want?
  • Building client trust through hard work
  • Your peers are not your target market—focus on the people you serve
  • The most passive-aggressive move done by any government

 

“The most effective technique ever… is actually to just repeat back to them exactly what they said, and then close your mouth.”

– Jonathan Goodman

 

Understand what your clients really want

You can’t sell a program until you figure out what your clients want from you. They won't value your services until they see you helping them reach their goals.

Building client trust through hard work

Create a reputation that precedes you. Don’t focus on hot new exercises. Trust the process and do the hard work.

Focus on the macro

The small things (micro) are short-term activities that offer immediate gratification. Don’t waste time showing others how successful you are. Concentrate on the macro, even if it's less likely to result in external validation.
