Episode Highlights:

Too many people make the mistake of waiting for permission from other people
People who reach for greatness never ask for permission
High-performers generate their own successful traits, whether they were born with them or not
Invest your time in something long-term; those who reach greatness have a life obsession that lasts decades
Knowing your strengths and weaknesses is the ultimate power in life and will allow you to bring in people who complement your weaknesses
People will never reach their max potential if you have them focus their energy on both their strengths and weaknesses
No matter the size of your wealth, you must constantly be growing and learning
Do not let anyone’s opinion control your state of mind, rather, write down what you learn from your experience
The more that you can fail, the higher your level of success will be if you can stay dedicated to your craft
Criticism from critics is just a defense mechanism and needs to be ignored
Failure is just a part of the process of becoming great
The more you are invested in becoming great at something, the harder it is to give up
Give up the need to be perfect and to be liked in order to be authentic and test
You must go above and beyond having a passion for your craft; you must have an obsession to be great
Focus on one thing, the vital thing that will allow you to be great at that one thing instead of being good at many things

3 Key Points

Successful traits can be generated, such as energy, courage, productivity, and clarity.
The most successful people invest themselves in life-long obsessions, never focusing on the day-to-day.
The most successful people in the world learn from every experience and do not let others’ opinions affect their mindset.

YEL 209 – The 5 Rules to Entrepreneurial Greatness

In this episode of Y.E.L 2.0, your host Peter Voogd talks about the 5 rules to entrepreneurial greatness that he has gathered from his multi-millionaire guests. They all adhere to these rules!

Episode Highlights:

In the past few months, Peter has been lucky enough to interview plenty of incredible multi-millionaires
There is one thing that all of Peter’s incredibly successful guests have in common
Each guest has some kind of pain from their past that they use as motivation to turn adversity into an advantage
People who grow up that had everything given to them usually don’t have the hunger to achieve greatness
Peter’s guests have much higher standards that they set for themselves that are shaped by what they want and where they want to go
You’ll get what you tolerate, so don’t tolerate being disrespected, being broke, or having bad energy around you
Everyone has a thermometer, whether it’s with their health or income, that is set by their self-expectations
Make a list of the things that you shouldn’t be doing, your weaknesses, and delegate those out to avoid wasting your time
Focus on your area of genius, your strengths, and delegate everything else to your team
You need to delegate any task that someone on your team can do 80% as good as you
Truly successful people have a deep desire to give value to their audience
Peter doesn’t interview all multi-millionaires, only the ones that he respects because of their ability to add value
Pressure and bounceback, the ability to fail and try again, are essential to achieving your goals
Greatness itself can only be achieved by those who are willing to fail more times than their competition
An obsession with problem-solving within their field has fueled the GOATs in every industry

3 Key Points

If you ever feel complacent, you haven’t experienced enough of the type of pain that alters you as a human.
Lower standers and a fear of risk stop those in the 6-figure range from crossing that threshold into the 7-figure range.
Successful people focus on their strengths, things that keep them engaged, and things that produce growth in their business.

“If you want to be a millionaire, talk to billionaires. You’ll get there quicker.” - Peter Voogd
“Anytime they find themselves getting complacent, they put another challenge in front of them that scares them and they take action on that.” - Peter Voogd
“The goal of business is not only to make more money and work more hours...the goal is to work on things you love...while creating a business that helps people, that gives back.” - Peter Voogd
“There are things that maintain your business and there are things that produce growth.” - Peter Voogd
“Through adversity comes greatness and through failure comes a sharper perspective.” - Peter Voogd
