Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. A good piece of advice, I think, Lee – and I’ve heard you share this on more than one occasion – stop looking for shortcuts.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:15] Yeah. There’s a difference between looking for shortcuts and being efficient. I think you should always be trying to become as efficient and effective as possible. But it’s just really difficult to skip steps altogether. You got to just do the work every single day. You have to get a little better every single day.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:34] So, think in terms of helping one more person today. Think in terms of connecting one more person to somebody else who needs them today. Think about thanking one more person today. Asking one more person to buy what you’re selling today. Be persistent, be useful, be appreciative every single day. You will become indispensable. If you do the work, you don’t quit, you’re almost there. So, hang in there. Keep doing the work every day. Be relentless and good things will happen.
Genevieve Wasson, Master Instructor with 101 Financial, was sick and tired of feeling like she could never get ahead financially. There was always another bill, always another payment, and no matter what she did. She couldn’t escape the worry that she was somehow getting it wrong.
Then Genevieve discovered 101 Financial. Her instructor showed her simple principles and provided useful tools that helped her make better everyday decisions—and it completely transformed her finances!
Because it’s made such a difference for her, Genevieve has joined 101 Financial’s crusade for financial literacy as an instructor so she can help others make the same changes in their lives. She would love to help you see how you can transform your personal finances too.
