“What are some best practices for networking that lead to clients and partnerships?
Having the best elevator pitch in the room?
Maybe.
Proving to people that you are well qualified to serve their business?
Not quite.
For us, we try to consider what value we can bring to each person over the next 5 years.
What? What if they aren’t your ideal client?
Before they are a client, they are a person.
And whether they become a client, friend, strategic partner, or simply a great conversationalist it’s worth the time invested.
Lead with curiosity and a genuine interest in the person.
We are all striving to build amazing businesses and provide for our families.
Yet, we can do so while adding value to those around us.
Keep encouraging and uplifting others and the market is sure to take notice.
And build long term professional relationships that challenge you to grow and succeed beyond your wildest dreams.
Your greatness awaits you.

“Have you paused to consider how much you’ve grown and adapted lately?”
I am constantly impressed by the positive energy observed within my LinkedIn community,
Even on days you may not feel up to the task, you keep engaging, posting, and creating content.
For many of us, we’ve been adapting our whole lives.
I am inspired by your and dedication.
With that said, here’s 5 tools to add to your amazing for adapting in the current times:
1.) Find your routine again: structure helps to provide some level of normalcy even if the outside environment is chaotic.
2.) Adjust your goals not your motivation: treat it as a detour, not a dead end.
3.) Clean the lenses: protect your perspective of being solution focused; throw away the invitations to the negativity party.
4.) at the top and bottom: get “fully dressed” as if the client or team was present at your office.
5.) Conquer the crumbs: even the highest mountain has to be climbed one step at a time; proceed and celebrate the small wins.
Continue striving. Your greatness awaits you.
What small wins have you celebrated in the last 12 months?

“If you were a firefighter, could you extinguish the flames using a water hose the size of a drinking straw?
I don’t think so.
Even if it were the large ones used for ice cream shakes.
This is the challenge some small owners face.
We have more ideas and plans than the clock will allow us to implement.
There are at least 8-12 roles you operate under all at the same time, which can create the illusion of failure due to fatigue.
Just because you are tired doesn’t mean your business isn’t .
You still are a powerful and persistent entrepreneur.
We just need to invite , scalability, delegation over for lunch.
Before you know it, the water hose will be large enough to put out those fires in the business and you remember just how brave you are as a business owner.
Keep building and growing. Your greatness awaits you.
With that being said, we are excited to release our 5th book, “The Art of Business: Principles & Strategies For The Everyday Entrepreneur“. Whether you pre-order today, or attend our Book Signing & Mastermind Session August 1st, we are grateful for your support. For registration details, visit our website listed in the comments.

Lean On Him Consulting is thankful for the privilege of meeting and working with Santana Thrasybule, a highly gifted freelance designer.

He has experienced some amazing accomplishments in design and merchandising, yet he is so humble, that he doesn’t wear it on his shoulders. And, though we work in the same industry, we have an abundance mentality that fosters our collaborative efforts.

“At times, it seems like the consumer and provider are at odds with each other. Why is that?”
That’s because they have opposing agendas.
What does the consumer want? - the most value, for the least amount of cost.
What does the service provider want? - the most , for the least amount of expense.
Yep, they are diametrically opposed to one another.
We call this principle, “The Battle Of The Wills”, because both seek to impose their will on the other.
This is why you can take your car to get an oil change and the mechanic looks at you like your favorite uncle died, and then list off 12 other services you need.
Yet, this also why you don’t like going out to eat with that friend who always finds hair in her food (her hair, of course) to gain a free meal.
How do you solve this? Our company has created a system which allows both sides to play fairly. No one likes to be taken advantage of, so let’s play nice.
With that being said, on January 25th 10:00am-11:30am, we look forward to seeing you at our Mastermind Session, where we cover concepts like this often. Private access live stream is also available. Feel free to RSVP using the link in the comments section.
