One of the most fundamental skills that can not be taught is having Street Smarts and basic common sense. You either have it? Or you don’t. When things don’t go your way, and often they don’t? You must get fired up. And go after your goal. Whatever it takes. Sometimes I get so stressed about my mission not proceeding fast enough I become flustered and begin drifting into territory that feels extremely unnatural. But my common sense comes back to me after I decompress. So let’s get on with today’s lesson. “Never ever allow anyone the satisfaction to impose their will upon you, or never allow them to push you around!”

No NO! If your like me as a Entrepreneur you end up having to do a lot of out reach and contacting people you do not know. And here is a common theme. Crickets.

You don’t hear back nor do they give you any courtesy of returning your message or phone call. What can you do if this happens to you? Well there is a lot you can do. But for todays lesson is about hustling the streets and having common sense. So let’s get on with what todays lesson is all about. Common sense! Here is what you should do that is basically obvious. And weirdly many people surrender and choose not to do this.

Some people have called or labeled me ” mildly and strategically Crazy.” But in all honesty? You have to be if your a successful Entrepreneur. I literally will jump on a Airplane or Hit the Streets of New York City and track down the Influential Business People that I need to get in front of. Look! People are busy or just Distracted. It pays to go show up on their doorstep and say….”Hey! I found ya!” Look I hope it wasn’t a ridiculous idea to come ask you this?”

You probably want a story of how I secretly can make everyone who is influential give me attention if the ignore me? Right? Ok. Here is a Tip! Go Knock On Their Door. Ok that may only work for a handful of you. But if you do not have big brass Kohonas? Your probably not cut out to be a Entrepreneur. Sorry. Not Sorry.

Honestly “YES! I do have other options for problems like this. But if you want access to tips like that? You have to schedule an hour coaching time with me and then we work on that problem together. Minimum of 2 hours up front. And if your thinking about my street smarts and common sense? Absolutely”I have other ways. But that won’t be revealed here. Please email me for Coaching. Go ask people who know me if I am worth the cash? I bet they will shock you.

If your a Entrepreneur like myself? You only got three options when deciphering or understanding people’s behaviors in business.

If someone say’s No Thank you. That does not mean you get to be a entitled jerk back to them. Be confident and hopeful with your attitude. Be pleasant. But be persistent. I do understand most people do feel uncomfortable when forced to the bargaining table. But its your job to make sure they are comfortable. To the jerks who want you uncomfortable? Make sure they don’t see you sweat.

If you are forced to the Bargaing table. Know you can walk away. You don’t have to agree to anything. I have to make this very clear to all of you’s.

You Have To Be Able To SAY…”NO!” and learn to negotiate.

Never allow anyone to push their will or position on to you! Mark Cuban has given me personal guidance on many occasions and reminded me people are sometimes Jerks. And sometimes they are testing to see if your weak. Try not to take It personally. Stay off Social Media!! Its rigged. Pay someone to promote you. You have better things to do anyways.

If you can not say “No” to people? You will be enslaved or end up doing something you do not want to do. It’s that simple. So the next time someone push’s their opinion or will onto you? You can let them be tyrannical and agree to do whatever they ask. B. You can shut up and be misarable. C. You can let them think they are getting their way. And walk away. Or D. You can negotiate!

Either way you do only have one choice. “What’s best for you.”

Enjoy and I hope you learned something here. It’s not much for today. But at least it’s something.
