3 Value Bombs
1) If you spend as much time going after great people to work with you as you do with clients, it gets a lot easier and a lot more fun.
2) Coaches do such an amazing job of motivating their players, and if we treat business a little bit more like sports, then we would go a lot further in business.
3) You’re not worth anything if you’re not in the right space, if you’re not appreciated. Don’t be angry. That just means that you’re in the wrong space. Don’t stay in a place where no one sees your value.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: The Elevate System to Attract, Retain, and Develop A-Players
[1:16] – Tommy shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- You’ve got to be a great networker, you’ve got to go out there, you’ve got to ask questions, you’ve got to meet the people. It’s knowing people and relationships that get you further in life. So don’t be shy; talk to people, put yourself out there more.
[2:14] – People on your team don’t want to work for you, but for your dreams.
- Figure out what your team’s dreams are, what they want to do in life, the vacations they want to go on… What’s their why?
- People who know exactly what they want, how they’re going to get there, and what needs to happen today can actually achieve those dreams.
[3:52] – Marketing being defined as acquiring new customers, as well as acquiring new talent.
- When you’re doing it right, great people find you. And the best place to find a great person is not in the unemployment line.
[6:21] – ABR—Always Be Recruiting.
- If you spend as much time going after great people to work with you as you do with clients, it gets a lot easier and a lot more fun.

[10:58] – There are many types of personalities. How can we learn to motivate and communicate with all types of personalities?
- When you get a high C personality, they want to understand why something works.
[13:26] – Treating employees as athletes.
- The coaches always look after you. They make sure you are good out of the game and in the game.
- Coaches do such an amazing job of motivating their players, and if we treated business a little bit more like sports, then we would go a lot further in business.
[15:21] – Tommy talks about his onboarding process.
- Make sure they have an amazing time. Make sure you’re prepared. Make sure they feel special.
- You’re not worth anything if you’re not in the right space, if you’re not appreciated. Don’t be angry. That just means that you’re in the wrong space. Don’t stay in a place where no one sees your value.
