The Chris Harder Show

There are four traits that all of our successful friends and mentors share, and in this episode, we break down what they are and how to integrate them into your life. The key to growing your network is to show up with enthusiasm and gratitude to every situation. If you want to gain the reputation of someone who sticks to their word and adds value to every interaction, practice being a humble learner and overdelivering on your commitments. These four traits set the foundation for successful leaders and their businesses. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How to maintain relationships when you're in a sprint season Why it's so important to find the lessons in every situation Simple ways to make gratitude your default reaction The difference between overdelivering and overpromising RESOURCES Text ROUNDTABLE to 310-421-0416 or go to chrisharder.me/roundtable to learn more about the next Roundtable Strategy Session.

I have a real world example that proves how having an abundant mindset will infinitely make you more money, but having a lack mindset will do the exact opposite. You can't put a price on a strong recommendation and word-of-mouth marketing, so when you do right by your clients, you'll be rewarded in ways that you never even dreamed of. Listen in to hear how I saw this principle work out in my life recently and the giant reminder that it gave me about keeping the client experience at the forefront of business decisions. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The two different experiences I had with contractors working on our house How to shift out of a scarcity mindset Simple ways to reward businesses that go above and beyond Proof that if you do the right thing, everything works out in your favor RESOURCES Check out Chalene Johnson's program on how to monetize social media: loriharder.com/impact Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.
