Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How to Leverage Effective Communication Skills to Grow Your Business

[1:26] – Brenden shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.

When we think about success, we often think about the people who have helped us on our journey. But the one person that we don’t listen to is the future version of ourself 10 years from today.
Ask yourself, “If my future version had a chance to take a little sneak peek into my life today, what would they disagree with?”

[4:48] – Where did the idea of MasterTalk come from?

There are two types of business owners. There’s the “born to be one” and the “made to be one”.
There was a lot of resources and ideas around communication that weren’t freely available.

[6:29] – Why should entrepreneurs even care about practicing communication?

Are your communication skills scaling with your business?
Your communication skills should be sharp and at a specific level. Because if they’re not, you won’t be able to actually communicate your expectations to your team effectively and you’ll create a lot of inefficiencies.
Make communication a priority

[8:40] – Daily exercises we can use to practice communication.

Communication is like juggling 18 balls at the same time. One of those balls is body language, one is storytelling, one is facial expressions… smiling – and it can get really confusing.
The random word exercise serves 2 purposes: it helps you think on your feet really quickly, and if you can make sense out of nonsense, you can make sense out of anything.

[17:25] – Book recommendations around communication and speaking.

We always look for information, but the truth is that the best way to speak is to speak.
There’s always one person who’s willing to do the random word exercise 1000 times, who’s willing to send 1000 video messages, who is willing to send and create 1000 question drills – and you better make sure that that person is you.
Thirst by Scott Harrison. Scott is a great example of what high stakes communication looks like. His book is a great example for all of us to remember that communication can really be used as a tool for change if we let it be.

[20:52] – What’s your vision for MasterTalk long-term?

Elon Musk was 13 years old in South Africa and he couldn’t really afford anything. Nobody cared about him. His dad always abused him. He didn’t have access to the communication resources that would have helped his career.
He wants to help every genius for the rest of humanity become exceptional communicators. Because if we did that, the human race as a whole would evolve at lightning speed.

[23:32] – Brenden’s key take away and call to action.

Ask yourself, how would your life change if you became an exceptional communicator?
The biggest problem with this industry is that it’s always focused on fear and what people don’t want to do.
