    Conversation Takeaways:

    • Imposter syndrome is a common feeling when starting a new venture, but it can be overcome by focusing on your own accomplishments and seeking support from positive influences.
    • Beliefs are powerful tools for making change, both internally and in the world. By challenging and changing your beliefs, you can overcome fear and achieve your goals.
    • Learning from others who have already achieved what you want to do is invaluable. Look for examples where your beliefs are wrong and use them to change your mindset.
    • Starting a new venture can be scary and you may not know how to do everything, but remember that others have done it before you. Use their success as proof that it is possible.

    About our Guest: Paul Lemberg

    Paul Lemberg has consulted with Fortune 100 companies like Cisco, Adobe, IBM, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan/Chase, Mass Mutual, Accenture, and other giant organizations, but his real and true passion is helping small business owners and CEOs double and triple their profits, sometimes growing their companies more than 10-fold. Over the last few years, Paul’s one-on-one small-business clients, who range in size from brand-new startups to companies with around $20 million in sales, have profited by more than $550 million in bankable, put-in-your-pocket cash: the equivalent of billions in extra sales. Paul has been an entrepreneur since he was 27. After a 3-year stint as a software programmer working in Corporate America, he launched his first company with a partner and just $3,000 of credit card debt, selling it three years later to a publicly traded software company for just under nine million dollars. Five years later, he sold his second company to a large German Bank. He has started several other businesses since, including a successful sales training company and a business coaching franchise… which failed spectacularly. He has published three books, including the McGraw Hill business best-seller, Be Unreasonable, as well as Faster Than the Speed of Change and Earn Twice as Much with Half the Stress. He’s spoken on stage for Jay Abraham, Tony Robbins, T. Harv Eker, Marshall Sylver, Brian Tracy, CEOSpace, Digital Marketer, Roland Frasier, and many others. He’s been featured in the New York Times, The LA Times, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, CNBC, and Good Morning America, as well as hundreds of trade and special interest publications. Paul’s newest coaching and training programs help entrepreneurs implement high-performance business and life strategies. Sales Voodü is an outbound call-based lead generation program to help companies set up and manage an outbound sales team. Formula 5/XL is a system guaranteed to help business owners 2x-10x their companies by making a series of easy, can’t-fail changes.
