In this episode, Joel Wohl, the Amazon Madman, shares how he transitioned from one business to another. He tells how his big vision & trust in God took him so far in his journey.

Even at his darkest times personally and in business, he never loses hope because of God’s help. He understands that failures exist because they teach you something great that can serve as certain tools that you can apply in the future to avoid the same mistakes you’ve made before.

He positioned himself as an EXPERT at what he does. His clients trust him so well not only because of his skills & knowledge but the VALUE he brings to the table.

3 Exceptional Takeaways:

Position yourself as King of the Hill. You're the top. Allow it to travel for miles.

The very nature of online is that you want to cut through the noise. You have to speak really, really loudly because you're competing with billions of other voices.

I think that it's an art to be truly humble. It's a work in progress.
