907 - Stacking Power-Ups, Maintaining Focus, and the Art of the Steal with Eric Siu
Description
Today’s co-host is Eric Siu, CEO of Clickflow and digital advertising agency Single Grain. Eric’s recent book, Leveling Up: How to Master the Game of Life, is all about stacking your “power-ups” to achieve something greater.
Eric learned many life lessons from poker – how to guard your emotions when the waves get rocky, understanding where to pick your bets, and never playing beyond your means.
After years of developing a good eye and a clear mind, Eric was leading marketing at a startup when, pressed with a make-or-break moment, he made the right bet and led his company straight to success. Now Eric runs two businesses and uses the power of focus and habitual growth to continue compounding his wins.
In this episode, Eric talks about how maintaining simple habits can transform your business, the power of giving back, and why everyone should steal from time to time.
Main Takeaways
- You can’t be successful trying to do everything all at once. The more you can focus on reaching one destination, the more likely you are to reach it.
- Stack great habits on top of one another to “win” the game of life and outperform your competitors.
- Even the greats took inspiration from others. “Stealing” a great idea and making it your own will help you move the needle.
- Rather than generating leads through cold calls, provide as much free value as you can for others. Find out what people want and give it to them!
