Let’s say you have an opportunity to bond and connect with people in an authentic and genuine way. To do it, you need to come from a place of giving – not taking. There are some smooth-talking, articulate people who give the illusion of sincerity, concern, and care for others. But, in fact it’s a setup. Calculated actions are different from genuine care.

I genuinely go through life wanting to make people better off for having been in their lives. When I interact with someone. I want that person to be better off than before I showed up. That could mean giving them a book recommendation, listening to them, or just making them smile or laugh.

In the world of business, I’m always thinking about how to be useful, generous, and contribute to other people. I know I’m not entitled to anything. If I get anything in the world of value, it requires me to create value for someone first. Nothing comes to us in life unless we create value for someone else first. This approach ensures you’re always producing more than you consume. This is what makes a productive human being. Many people in the world can be more of a parasite than a producer. But, you don’t have to be one of them. The best thing you can do for your Clients’, yourself, and the world, is figure out how to create value. And, one of the best skill sets you could ever learn, to help do this, is ethical marketing. The more capable at marketing you become, the better you will do and the better off people around you will be.

There are a lot of people who advocate hustle and working incredible hours. I don’t know a single person who has built a Successful Company that hasn’t worked their butt off. The fact is, most Entrepreneurs exert enormous effort… But here’s the thing: Not All Effort Is Equal.

I tend to think of E.L.F.® (Easy, Lucrative, and Fun!) in terms of PRODUCTIVITY (Maximum Results; Least amount of Time) and LEVERAGE (Maximum Results; Least amount of Effort). When you run your Business and Life with Maximum Productivity and Maximum Leverage, you may not have to grind all day. You could invest 30, 20, even 10 MINUTES on focused, high leverage, highly productive action (“smart work”)… and it could be worth a MONTH of “hard work”. Having an E.L.F. mindset and filter can help you avoid many traps Entrepreneurs unknowingly fall into.

Remember: You only need a few tools in your toolbox to build, maintain, and grow a successful, E.L.F. Business.
