✨Combatting Shiny Object Syndrome, Sales is a skill for everyday life & top 5 takeaways from episodes161-170
Below are the top 5 takeaways from a stretch of 10 episodes of the With Joe Wehbe Podcast, 161-170.
1/ Why does ‘Shiny Object Syndrome’ seduce us, and how do we combat it?
In episode #161, we explanation ‘Shiny Object Syndrome’, and discuss its antidote. Hint: start with the accepting the present, and also the ‘I only do what only I can do rule’ — otherwise the spread of your options will always be overwhelming. .
2/ Sales is a skill for everyday life
We interact with people everyday, and constantly try to communicate value propositions to them. Sales is a vital skill for everyday life. Few people train this skill. The no. 1 question to ask,
Am I genuinely trying to help people solve their problem? —Episode #166.
3/ Following the point from Episode #166 made above
Look at their story. Ask, ‘how can I help them write their story?’ and not ‘how can I make them a character in mine?’
4/ In the context of being most helpful to others.
‘Our default is to respond to other people according to our world view, not theirs’ — Episode #167.
5/ What overnight disruption of existing industries will really look like
Opportunities will not evaporate, they’ll migrate. The challenge is still qualifying yourself for new pockets within your industry/interest areas.
Example — Lawyers won’t disappear in a puff of smoke, but new legal work will emerge in relation to new trends like cryptocurrency, gig economy expansion and Web 3.
