Unlock Your Freedom With Kevin Kepple

Key Takeaways:

• Change is inevitable and crucial for progress. As George Bernard Shaw said, "Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything."

• We have two sources of change: our intuitive understanding (the wisdom of nature) and our ego. The former is our deepest, most powerful wisdom, while the latter often pushes us into being something that we're not for its own glorification.

• Reacting from fear keeps us stuck in repetitive, recurring pain patterns. By listening to our truth instead of our fears, we can grow exponentially and give more.

• Striving for more and working harder is not sustainable and leads to burnout. Instead, focus on changes that grow you towards your best self.

• Understanding your unique truth and serving others with it is the point of life. This journey isn't a destination but a continuum unfolding and evolving towards higher versions of ourselves.

• Focusing on what you want is crucial. Whatever you focus on, you create more of. If you focus on fear, you get more fear. If you focus on truth, you step more into love and your true essence as a human.

• Many entrepreneurs get trapped in the day-to-day of their business instead of working on a big-picture strategy. One effective strategy is leveraging the 80-20 principle, an inbuilt imbalance between causes and results.
• Identify your most valuable activities that yield the most significant results in your business and life. Prioritize these so that your primary focus and the majority of your resources are allocated towards these high-impact areas.

Meet Brian Galke, the Introverted/Extroverted professional who discovered the secret to success: Good Communication Skills.

In order to overcome his social anxiety, Brian intentionally pursued positions where people naturally came to him for help (Retail, Service Industry, Helpdesk, etc). With every job, he sought to improve his social skills through learning tips and tricks to interact with others effectively.

As Brian's communication abilities grew, so did his career. Each new social skill he acquired brought him another promotion, leading him to leave the Helpdesk to become a Corporate Trainer, move into Sales, and even be flown around the US to present to high-profile clients worth over $1 million. Eventually, he was promoted to the esteemed position of Regional Vice President of Sales with a $40 Million Dollar book of business.

Brian left the corporate world to teach this skill to audiences on stages alongside renowned industry leaders such as Janine Driver, Brad Lea, Steve Sims, Greg Reid, Alex Hormozi, and more. But what was the one skill that changed everything for Brian?

The ability to decode facial features. By learning how to interpret the subtle signals that people's faces give off, Brian was able to better understand and communicate with others, which in turn helped him succeed professionally and personally.

Wayne Mullins is the founder of Ugly Mug Marketing

The name, Ugly Mug Marketing, stems from the belief that the results should never be compromised - not even for the sake of "good" design. We would rather an "ugly" design that delivers results, than a "beautiful" design that doesn't. The day we begin focusing on winning awards, instead of delivering results for our clients, is the day our business has lost its way.
