What I Learned

Here are some key lessons (and there are a lot) I took from the episode:

1. Wear your scars proudly: your experiences, your mistakes and the lessons from your failures make who you are. Don’t hide them, wear them proudly – because they’re a sign of not only your resilience but your determination to succeed, and evidence you can.
2. Being yourself attracts akin clients and a happier life: Steve reflects on a period where he pretends to be someone he isn’t, to try and fit in with the overtly affluent and famous. Although his revenue went up temporarily the quality of his relationships went down. It wasn’t until he recalibrated with his own identity that he could attract the type of clients that he enjoyed working with and eventually the money even surpassed what he was earning before that. Like attracts like and authenticity is more sustainable and attractive. You can still win being yourself – no matter where you’re from.
3. Zig when others Zag – or just stay still: When you move with the crowd, you’re constantly trying to keep up with the momentum of the heard. Your appeal isn’t created when you fit in, the appeal is created when you stand out, especially when you talk about the art of networking and grabbing the attention of those who have people vying for it constantly. Pro tip: call them. Find out what’s important to them, try to find a mutual connection to make a warm introduction and ask them a question they can’t say no to.

Bonus tip: Only drink good whiskey.
