[00:00:02] Speaker A: Ramping up your business. The time is near. You've given it hard. Now get it in Gear.
It's Passage to Profit with Richard and Elizabeth Gearhart. I'm Richard Gearhart, founder of Gearhart Law, a full service intellectual property law firm specializing in patents, trademarks, and copyrights.
[00:00:20] Speaker B: And I'm Elizabeth Gearhart, not an attorney, but I do marketing for Gearhart Law. And I am the founder of Gear Media Studios, a content creation studio with the focus on podcasting.
[00:00:30] Speaker A: Welcome to Passage to Profit the Road to Entrepreneurship, where we talk with entrepreneurs and celebrities who tell their stories about their business journey and also share helpful insights about the successes that they've had.
[00:00:42] Speaker B: Now it is time for Secrets of the Entrepreneurial Mind. Tommy Hilkin with Tommy Hilkin Productions.
[00:00:50] Speaker C: There we go. That works.
[00:00:51] Speaker B: What's a secret you could share with our audience?
[00:00:53] Speaker C: Desire. I think, as Napoleon Hill would always say, everything starts with desire. And if you desire it and it really becomes all encompassing, becomes every cell in your body, you will achieve it. But you have to have a strong desire to be self employed. I know everybody, I always joke that people say entrepreneur this, solopreneur, that when I did this, I made a decision to be self employed. But it's not for the faint of heart. You really have to be focused and you have to trap the tremendous desire to do it. So I would say without the desire, you'll go nowhere.
[00:01:26] Speaker B: Okay. Bobby Macia with Green Ridge Wealth Planning. What is a secret you can share with our audience?
[00:01:32] Speaker D: I would say most people understand that they're really good at something, right? They have this unique ability that if they multiplied it, their business will be that much more successful. And what they do is they then delegate everything else out. But I think one of the things that you also have to build your team with is understanding what their superpowers are and where their unique abilities lie. So this way you could fit them all together like a puzzle. Because once you've got people sitting in their most powerful seat all day long doing what they need to do that they love to do, to move your business forward, you've got something that's scalable and almost indestructible. And a lot of people stop at, okay, I'm doing what I want to do, and now I got everybody else doing what they need to do, taking that team and going through that same process is powerful.
[00:02:20] Speaker B: That's great. Okay, Josh Kahn with trieden.com what is a secret you can share with our audience?
[00:02:27] Speaker E: So a great one for me that's worked incredibly well. Is being principled. You know, if you establish a series of, in a set of principles that you live by day to day, you also incorporate into your corporation or company.
You have something to always fall back on when things aren't looking great and when things are looking good and you start to be able to identify those things. The best part about it to me is that that then actually trickles down into your staff. So, like for us at Eden, we have a list of principles as part of the onboarding guide that we expect people to operate within. And so like, number one is trustworthy, right? If you're not trustworthy, you're not going to work out here. And so like, I would really suggest a secret is find the set of principles that works for you and that actually helps you be the best superpower, like superhuman that you can be. And, and then just use those every day relentlessly. Relentlessly.
[00:03:15] Speaker B: I like that.
[00:03:16] Speaker A: Sounds good.
[00:03:17] Speaker B: Richard Gearhart, Gearhart Law.
[00:03:19] Speaker A: Well, my secret is pretty simple. It's just sometimes good things happen when you least expect it.
Sometimes the crappy stuff happens too. But no, this month we had a lot of people out, some people out on medical leave, people out on vacations.
And going into the last three days of the month, we were going to be lighter cash wise than we normally were. And then just out of nowhere, all of these clients came through and paid their bills and it turned out to be the best month we ever had. I have to admit, sometimes my ego rises and falls, you know, with the profit and loss statement. Right. So I was kind of feeling bad about it, but all of a sudden, just out of nowhere, you know, a lot of great things happen.
So even when things are looking not so good, sometimes it turns around.
[00:04:08] Speaker B: Well, my secret is going to be, you know, those people that just won't take no for an answer, make them.
This kind of goes with what Josh is saying. If it's like, no, this isn't right for me, and they just keep. Because I just recently had this happen with somebody. You just keep saying no and stick to your own guns and what you feel is right for you, well, that's it for us.
