Ep 306: Climbing the Mountain of Success with Rick Elmore

Rick Elmore shares his insights on climbing the mountain of success as an entrepreneur. He uses two analogies, one about a mountain-climbing journey and another from Dave Ramsey's debt-repayment approach, to explain how he achieved business success. With limited resources coming from a lower-middle class family, Rick found success by asking questions, talking to successful people in the same field, and staying passionate about writing and business. He advises listeners to keep asking questions and to talk to people who have done what they want to do. He encourages consistency, hard work, and focusing on small wins to build momentum towards larger goals. To help listeners achieve their own goals, he recommends being helpful to those around them while having fun grinding towards their aspirations. Tune in to hear why you need to develop enthusiasm for what you are doing and keep that fire burning in order to reach your entrepreneurial goals. You will enjoy this episode for its actionable advice on how to overcome business obstacles and achieve success. Episode Highlights 04:40 - There's a lot of free knowledge online, like how to book a meeting, how to run a meeting. Go to Google. Go to YouTube. I call myself relentless in the pursuit of knowledge. I come home and talk to my wife about something that I learned today and exhaust her. She's like, "You, literally, this is all you do, just trying to figure stuff out," but it's exciting. As you learn, like your tunnel vision goes from what you know, to what all the possibilities are. And when that picture becomes so clear, you get really excited and it builds more energy. So, it really just comes from effort. It comes from consistency. It comes from talking to people. It comes from being helpful. If you show people that you're interested in them and you want to help them, they're going to give you their time and attention to help you. Let's Connect!
