But did you know how Erik turned losing his life savings into something positive?
It’s true. And it’s just one of the many topics Erik discusses in my in-depth interview with him on The Jamie Turner Show.
When you listen to the interview here (or on iTunes or Stitcher), you’ll learn a lot of helpful things, including:
- How to Turn Lemons into Lemonade: As bad as losing his life savings was, Erik was able to turn the experience into something positive. He credits some of his success today to what he learned when he had his big set back with his savings.
- How to be Flawsome: Erik shares how the internet has made being transparent more important than ever before. He also shares how to use your flaws and failures to humanize your personal or corporate brand.
- How to Understand the Difference Between Output and Throughput: Throughput is when we post updates on social media, answer emails, or put out minor fires in the office. Output is actually creating something that contributes to your bottom line. Erik says that we all need to be aware that Throughput inhibits our ability to generate Output, and that Output is the only thing that leads to profits.
If you like those concepts, you’ll love the interview.
