The absolute best authority builder for any Personal Brand Business Owner | Chris Ducker

I do wonder how many business owners find themselves where I've been, feeling like they're working hard and doing all the things they see industry leaders doing but not experiencing even a fraction of their success? They're burning rubber with the wheels spinning and have barely crossed the start line, let alone the finish line.I first encountered my guest today through Pat Flynn's YouTube channel. Pat is someone I've been following for a long time and this guest said that you can't expect people to take you seriously in business if you don't have anything they can buy on your website. It was a wake-up call for me and the start of my learning from someone who has now become a business mentor and a friend. His name is Chris Ducker and he's the author of several best selling books including Virtual Freedom and Rise of the YouPreneur.In this episode:Chris' biggest influence builderWhy most entrepreneurs are starting in the wrong placeHow to level up your businessThe damage done by shortcutsWhy Chris started a podcastThe power of being prepared and more...This is an unmissable episode if you are in business yourself, especially if you're not taking off and feeling frustrated.
