The Playbook With David Meltzer

There is a very simple equation for life. What you pay attention to (aka what you’re aware of) plus where you put intention in (aka what you think, say, do, and believe) equals the coincidences that happen in your life. Intention has levels, however, which means that we need to further examine how we are utilizing our time and activities. I’m a big believer in being a “Student of Your Calendar”, which is an intentional approach that analyzes the calendar with lenses of productivity, accessibility, and gratitude.So many people tell me that they are doing “all the right things” but not receiving their desired results, and it is their level of intention which is holding them back.Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me! david@dmeltzer.comSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1Text Me!

THE 6 STEPS YOU NEED TO GAIN CREDIBILITY:1. Credibility: Showcase credibility through your team, advisors, and patents. Illuminate your early mistakes and communicate how they have attributed to your situational knowledge to navigate those same scenarios in the future.2. Emotional Attachment: Understand the emotional attachment your consumers have to your product/service and how to leverage it.3. Reasons to Invest: Evaluate the reasons people buy, not the perceived reasons you think they buy. A giant potential market means nothing without market share.4. Impacts: Communicate to your prospects the impact your business will have.5. Capabilities: Explain the capabilities you have and need.6. Quantitative Ask with 100/20 Rule: You can’t get an investment unless you ask. Be clear about what you want, how you will use it, and what investors will get in return.Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me! david@dmeltzer.comSign up for my Free Weekly Training https://free.dmeltzer.com/friday-training-1Text Me!
