BRX Pro Tip: Read the News or Be the News
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, I remember not too very long ago you suggesting to a prospective client something along the lines of reading the news or being the news. Can you kind of expand on that a little bit?
Lee Kantor: [00:00:18] Yeah. This is something that I say to myself in my own internal self-talk of you can read the news or you can be the news. And that’s a reminder because I read so much, and a lot of times I will spend so much time reading, I’m like, am I executing any of the stuff that I’m reading? And that’s part of the reason why we do these Pro Tips is because I want to share some of the information that I’m gleaning in and hoping that some people are going to take action on some of this stuff.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:44] So, this started out as a reminder to myself that, yeah, reading is great, getting knowledge is great, but wisdom just for the sake of just ingesting wisdom is kind of useless. You have to take action at some point. And a lot of people just kind of get in the habit of going through life imagining what it could be, imagining after they read something or they watched something and they see other people taking risks, they’re hesitant to really pull the trigger themselves.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:11] So, I think it’s so important you got to learn – I’m not saying not to learn – but you also have to take action and you have to try things. And some of these things are going to work out, some of the things aren’t going to work out, but either way you’re going to learn and either way you’re going to grow. So, I think it’s so important to put that knowledge you’re getting into a real life situation and put yourself out there and apply some of what you are learning into the real world.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:38] You know, theories have a place, but real life experiences mean a whole lot more and they are going to actually do something to help you grow, they’re going to help you build your business. And you’re going to see some of these tips that we share, some of this information that you’re learning is great information, and may work great for somebody else and you don’t know what their situation is and why that worked. But I think by taking some of this information and applying it, you’re going to be more successful in the long run. So, I think a lot of times you have to be doing more and thinking less.
