Meet Avidon M. Respes

 

We recently connected with Avidon M. Respes and have shared our conversation below.

Avidon, thank you so much for agreeing to talk with us about a deeply personal and sensitive topic. Postpartum depression affects so many in the community and hearing from someone who has overcome PPD might help someone who is going through it right now. For readers, please note this is not medical advice, we are not doctors, you should always consult professionals for advice and that this is merely one person sharing their story and experience

Just to clear the air… As a man and as a father who was part of the complete birthing process, I can confidently say from my personal experience that it is very easy to fall into Postpartum Depression.

Giving birth is an INCREDIBLY stressful experience, not just physically, but also mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically. I mention both mental and psychological since I’ve noticed these changes happen simultaneously with the mother of my child.

– Psychological, because of all of the transformations taking place in the brain; mostly due to the increased hormones.

– Mental, because your mindset changes practically all together considering the responsibilities, lifestyle alterations, and uncertainties ahead.

From the initial conception all the way to delivery, we were constantly bombarded with what I would call “fear mongering” statistics and pressures. I’m fully aware that everyone’s experiences can be different, nevertheless for our first child we wanted our experience to be as joyful, loving, and welcoming as possible for the new life we would bring.

It almost didn’t happen like that…

Apparently once a woman reaches the age of 35 years, certain medical protocols require that during every prenatal visit and regular checkup, nurses and doctors must advise the mother that her pregnancy is considered “high risk”, therefore additional monitoring and testing would have to take place.

Not everyone deals with things the same, and for some women this can be very disheartening overtime; especially for first time mothers. My child’s mother, who I’ll name “M”, always discussed her thoughts with me about these “requirements”, and we both committed to staying positive through the process regardless of what the “professionals” had to say.

“M” would go into the doctor’s visit excited to hear updates about our baby and all the wonderful things, but immediately when they went down the daunting road of risks and complications associated with our bracket of “high risk” pregnancy, I could see in “M”s face and eyes that she was slightly shaken by the chances, or possibilities rather that something could go wrong during any term.

Although the medical professionals asked us initially how we wanted the birthing process to go, they always brought up the dangers of being “high risk” and the likelihood of needing to have a c-section versus a natural birth.

“M” and I had many talks about how we wanted things to go, we wanted the most natural and least “assisted” birth possible. Our main goal was to stay healthy, happy, and hopeful in order to try to prevent any of those complications from happening.

I did my best to be there as much as possible, and be very supportive especially during those emotional days; which happen often. As a new father, I felt immense pressure from the crucial part I had to play.

At times I had to make sure that “M” was being heard and that her desires were being considered for the pregnancy. She had enough going on in her mind and in her body… I tried to step up where I could to help ease the difficulty, besides, all of the work was being done by her at this point to carry our child, the least I could do was be there whenever she needed.

Our baby was growing beautifully and things were going according to our plan, until “M” started feeling a bit lethargic along with some mild heart palpitations. It took months before the professionals would actually listen to “M”s concerns. They finally decided to put a heart monitor on her during the last months of pregnancy to ascertain whether “M” was having heart trouble or if it was merely symptoms of the pregnancy…

There are SO many changes that happen to a woman’s body during pregnancy that make it feel worse than things actually are, remember: there is literally a tiny human growing and developing inside another larger human… This leads to MAJOR differences in her body now, opposed to the one she once knew.

As the man, I believe that it was my duty to make sure that “M” felt that no matter what, she was in a safe space with me. Even if things didn’t go as planned, I would be there by her side through it all and mitigate any unnecessary issues the best I could.

We were quickly approaching the delivery date when a random blip in the middle of the night showed up on the heart monitor that “M” was wearing. This raised alarms for the medical professionals which determined that she should be rushed into the hospital immediately.

It was a team effort from the heart doctors to the maternal doctors, they were on one accord in the thoughts that there could be a huge danger if we didn’t take urgent action. We made the moves as directed by the “professionals” and arrived at the hospital as soon as possible. Once there, they took the necessary steps to prepare us for the final phase of pregnancy: the delivery.

Even though they were pressed and ready for delivery, our baby was not.

We sat for hours waiting to be guided and directed through the process. We were still waiting for one of the heart doctors to tell us exactly what was going on with “M”s results, and we were STILL waiting to even be seen properly. – All they did was hook “M” up to the monitors and have her feeling duped.

This wasn’t how we pictured it at all.. Long story short, when they finally came in, they rushed us into the induction process and that’s when even more complications came, to the point that “M” HAD to have an emergency c-section.

It all happened so fast, I had to make sure that “M” was being treated fairly and that the baby was also being dealt with care. Unfortunately, nowadays most people can’t be trusted. “M” told me that I needed to be there and never leave the baby regardless of what took place; her life came secondary.

A lot happened over the course of the weekend which set the stage for how “M” and I would raise our child. I always offered that since I’m an entrepreneur, I could be there to take on the daily care needs of our child, while later in the day “M” would exchange with me so I could then get my own work done.

Nobody can prepare you for parenthood… As much as we try everything in order to do it perfectly, that’s just not how it goes. Most things happen perfect in theory, but are far far from that in actuality.

Nobody could have ever prepared “M” for the feeling of detachment when she returned to work. Everything was amazing during maternity leave, but once she returned to work though, the chaos ensued. I understood how easy it was to feel downcast and separated from your child having to work all day.

Overcoming postpartum depression is a team effort and a continuous process.

For parents that work often, my advice to you is to stay tied to your purpose, recognizing that your contribution is fundamental to the safety and security of your family on a financial basis. When you do have the time to rest or spend with yourself, you will need to figure out how to split portions of that “free time” and incorporate a bit of family time so that everyone is given at least some attention.

For the parents that are “at home”, work from home, insert whatever, for those that are with the kids practically ALL OF THE TIME, you have to find some time for yourself to dive into your own things. Don’t just use your free time to do senseless activities or chores, don’t even use it to sleep, you have to take a minimum of 5 to 10 minutes and work on your crafts, work on your little business thing, work on your writing or blog, whatever that THING might be, even if it’s NOT successful yet, keep working on it, and then do the senseless thing like take a nap or xyz. You owe it to yourself, and you deserve 5 minutes of fame working on your dreams too; don’t take that away from yourself.

A few other things I would say is, yes talk to your partner, but also have a safe space with a family member or friend, preferably another parent that understands, so you can vent about the woes of parenthood… Not to discuss your relationship.

It’s one thing to talk about parenting to destress and also get tips to improve your experience, it’s a whole other conversation to talk about your partner’s style of parenting, and complaining about that to other people. You can never control how someone else does a thing, you must do what you do, and allow them to learn from their own experiences.

Having children happens with both people, not just 1 or the other, understanding things like this and working toward a common goal with open communication is essential to bringing down the inevitable tensions.

The tip I’ll conclude with, is for you to try to interpret any form of depression as a natural byproduct of life. The true numbers of people that experience depression at one point or another throughout life is much higher than what statistics show.

Everyone who is living life gets depressed at one time or another and that’s okay, what’s not okay is allowing the depression to fully control every action of your life. Your mission is to just do your best to contribute so that everybody wins.

If you’re that depressed then yes, you will need to seek some avenue of help/counseling so that you don’t aggravate the situation even further.

It is okay, not to be okay, but it is not okay to let it defeat you.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

For those who are unfamiliar with me, I usually allow people to call me Avi (AH-vee). My name is of Hebrew origin and I grew up Jewish; but not like the stereotype financially well off Jew, I grew up on the lower end of middle class, and have had to figure things out along the way.

My story is vast on both sides personally and professionally, much of which have intertwined during the journey, but have been separate experiences running parallel.

Many things have happened in my personal life that have triggered me to make certain decisions which were advantageous to my professional career. Much like knowing that I was going to have a family one day, similar future possibilities made me think of business as a resource rather than an issue.

A lot of the reason I got into entrepreneurship and started my own business was because at the time I was having too many issues trying to find jobs, and never really found a position that I could excel in.

With my particular military experience I found it very challenging to find relevant careers, especially since my service was in a foreign regiment. Instead of trying to always translate my value to prospective jobs, I decided to take the jump and really dive into business.

Let’s rewind a bit..

Back in 2008 while I was attending college at Rutgers University Camden, I was on the verge of failing out and being kicked off of the soccer team. I had to make the decision of whether I would do better in my classes, or if I would cut my losses and resign completely from school.

Even though I chose not to continue with university, I needed to have a plan in place that made sense for my parents and gave them a peace of mind that I wouldn’t just be randomly afloat.

I’ve always liked cars, so in my mind it made sense to pursue my next alternative which would be in the automotive field. Following my registration and acceptance into Lincoln Technical Institute, I gained enough credits and was able to pass my exam to become an entry-level certified automotive technician. This was what I knew I needed to start my career as a full fledged master tech.

What I didn’t know then was that although I enjoyed cars and even working on them, I quickly found out that I only wanted to work on my own cars and not anybody else’s. It’s hard to be a full time mechanic when you don’t even want to do the work.

Prior to me quitting my automotive career, I was able to find a job in Northern New Jersey at a BMW location where my goal was to put my career in motion. I planned on working my way up the ranks to one day become a fully certified master technician.

At BMW, they made me start by washing cars and moving them around the lot whenever necessary. I really wanted to actually WORK on the cars, but if this was how I had to get my foot in the door, I was with it.

The day I got fired was a major mistake on my end, but it taught me one of my most important lessons in life; never lie to the people that are actually trying to help you and benefit you. I strongly disappointed my manager who had a very high impression of me, that feeling was something I didn’t want to ever purposely recreate again.

In my mind I was out of options. My life tumbled as I felt like a failure… The only choice I had was to go back home and start all over from scratch. After about a month of job searching and wasting time, my father and my sister offered to pay for my startup costs to join them in a network marketing business… They gave me no choice, as it was a mandatory sentence.

Little did I know that I would learn so much about business from working in a network marketing company that would benefit me substantially once I opened my own business. The network marketing company taught us a lot about leadership development and I knew that this was something that was lacking in the overall market. I believed that I could also deliver this service after working hard, developing myself, and learning everything I could from them.

The leaders in the network marketing company made it a habit of always telling us that they weren’t any smarter than us, they were just able to create a system that generated them results. The light bulb began twinkling… Ah ha! – I thought to myself, if I can create a system, then one day I can be successful too.

Part of the information being shared in their leadership development training was about the amount of risk you’ll be taking for your goals and dreams to materialize. I was ready to take a huge risk to challenge what I had learned from them, thus I could gauge exactly how applicable it all was without the “training wheels”.

There’s a unique opportunity offered to any and every Jewish person, that if they want to return back to the homeland and immigrate to Israel, it can be done via a very streamlined process with just 1 significant condition… I would have to enlist into the Israel Defense Force given the national requirement of enlistment at 18 years of age.

Making this decision at 21 years old would put me at an enlistment age of 22, where luckily the service requirement was cut from 3 years to only 2 years. I would spend my first year learning about the country, the culture, and integrate into society, immediately after, I would enlist into the army, having the required timeframe of 2 years army service.

I wouldn’t know my army profession until 2 weeks before my enlistment date, until then I tried my best not to think about it, while subsequently maintaining the reality of it, by preparing my life for that day. I tried to earn as much money as I could and minimize my expenses without getting myself into binding contracts like cars or apartments and such.

My service in the IDF (Israel Defense Force) was specialized in the Military Police, in a Prison Unit, as a Solitary Confinement Commander. Interestingly enough, all of the leadership development training from the network marketing company paid off in a lot of the situations I found myself in.

A few of my close military comrades noticed how I handled things, they also watched how I lived and saw that I did things a bit differently than most people. One of them would listen to the speaker Les Brown, and he suggested that I consider the path of public speaking and possibly life coaching.

I definitely reflected on the idea sufficiently enough that I would commit to starting my first company based on life coaching and success development once I returned to the United States. What I didn’t know back then was that nobody really cared about my insights or what I had to say, because I wasn’t yet an actual success to them. Even though I had accomplished a variety of things that most people would never, it wasn’t easily conveyable to them in a valuable way.

Despite what I thought was enough to attract clients to help and build a business off of, I was drastically wrong. My first company was called BRIO Developmental Specialists, where I would encourage people that I would guide them on their journey to success. Yes, the overall concept made sense, and the vision I had for it was OKAY, it just wasn’t THAT THING.

This was around 2014 before the life coaching and mental health movement really took off. Emotional intelligence and knowing when to ask for help were still new concepts to most people, plus my experience wasn’t relatable enough for people to grasp, nor did I know how to properly communicate it effectively.

Even though I was back in America, and had gained some more experience from working for a few small businesses along with attending a variety of business events, my true quest was only beginning. You could easily say that I didn’t make any money with that first business, mostly due to the fact that I didn’t obtain any reasonable clientele to substantiate the business model.

I didn’t give up though, I actually started researching more ways to find clients in addition to applying new strategies to help reach my developing target audience. That’s when I started paying more attention to those digital marketing ads and wondering if maybe that could be a way that could help me earn more money.

I took a few of those “guru” courses, and still didn’t receive any of the results I was looking for. Doing this gave me a new idea though, I could create my own course that was packaged with everything I wanted to share instead of searching for direct 1 on 1 clients.

My course was designed to help recharge and reboot your life within the next 8 days using an extremely strategic set of principles. This journey in making my first course not only revamped my perspective, it also opened the door for how I would later launch my next business that would truly be a success.

Frankly when I started, I didn’t have the funds. I had to figure out the process of creating my course from scratch all by myself. I spent hours watching “how-to” videos on course making, then I had to also watch videos on videography along with video editing since I would be the one filming and editing my content.

After finishing my course I recognized a few things that were very different from all of those “guru” style videos.
1. My videos were NOT clear.
2. My audio was NOT the best.
3. My descriptive visuals did NOT connect with the vocals.
4. My physical presence NEEDED WORK.

A long list of things needed to improve if this course was going to be a success and achieve my desired results. Rather than focus on improving the course, I sought to improve myself.

I had an inner belief that as long as I was on this pathway to development, eventually I would get to where I wanted to be in life. I wasn’t going to give up on business yet, I still had a fire for entrepreneurship inside of me… I was only getting a taste of what this undertaking is irrefutably about.

Business is not easy. There are innumerable amounts of skills and information you must know if you plan on dominating and making it to the top. As they say, you have to commit to being a life-long learner in order to truly succeed.

Although I didn’t pursue more course making, I did however give a go at content creation. Creating content was much more direct and simple. I could connect with my target audience using a variety of channels, leveraging some of the most popular social media platforms that host billions of monthly users.

I could do live videos, pre-planned content, I could post photos and share my story with the world at the click of a button… Suddenly my viewpoint about social media was changing.

Maybe I was using it wrong this entire time…

What if I started using social media for my business, instead of just updating my friends about stuff they didn’t care about anyway?

The same type of content that I presented in my course I started sharing more on my social media. A lot of people thought I was crazy at first, they unfollowed me quickly and I didn’t really care. I finally felt like I was moving in the right direction for once.

Although nobody watched when I went live in the beginning, I just kept doing it. Over a little bit of time I started to gain some popularity across these very small, tight-knit communities of micro influencers. My social media friend’s list on Facebook went from like 1,ooo something to about 4,000 over about a year from 2017 to 2018.

The live videos I was doing were getting hundreds of views over time, and I thought that the support I was obtaining was genuine. Until a few scammers went through my whole friend’s list spamming everyone with this ridiculous digital art scheme. It ruined my network.

Hundreds of people DM’d me asking who the scammers were and it was a major headache to deal with. I had connected with a lot of those people on personal relationship terms, when this took place it ruffled a lot of feathers which pushed my business further off the brink.

Again I was left clueless with what I should do.

Upon my research, I came across some car videos that I really enjoyed. The way they shot them really captured the cars in a way that was unique and expressive. How did they shoot these videos I asked myself?

Since I was now a beginner videographer, I started to think about ways that I could shoot some new type of content other than just “self-help” material. I remembered when I was younger, I used to go to car meet ups and do things like that, perhaps there could be an opportunity available in this.

I didn’t have any connections, I didn’t have any money, and I didn’t have anything that people would be looking for as a fair trade value. My mind was racing and my heart was pounding; I knew I was on to something, but I didn’t know what. I kept searching and sourcing information from every avenue on ways to improve my craft, I was becoming more and more invested into the visual production process as a whole.

Often you just have to be present in the moment, that’s when things come to you… I was actively searching and looking at videos when I came across one that turned my light bulb on even brighter! — In the video the presenter was talking about the most popular forms of videography, their industries, and pretty much what to expect.

They suggested getting into videography by working with startup musicians and artists. This was an easy way for you to truly gauge your content for what it was in conjunction with the artist’s content/presence. If you’re doing it right, you’ll see growth; plain and simple. This also opens doors, creating access and networking opportunities where your work can finally be seen, even by just a small audience.

After this I started prospecting and trying to get in front of people, however, I still didn’t have a camera. One day I was offered the proposition of working with an artist and using the camera they had; I would just need to be their dedicated visual creator… Without pay.

At the time it was fine because I was learning so much more while executing the work, as opposed to simply being home watching videos all day. This was basically my first time working with a team to build a visual campaign around something… An artist.

Any and every question that was put on the table was immediately brought to me, and I had to find the answers. I had to know how to bring our visuals to life, similarly to the mainstream content we were used to. I had to know how to shoot properly, how to create seamless edits, how to blend audio, and so much more.

I thought I knew a lot after creating my first course… This though, was a completely different world.

This involved more complex editing tactics, much more digital and abstract elements to add into the scene, I had to learn the true definition of “b-roll” and why it’s so important to visual storytelling. I had to learn new shot angles that were intended to procure a feeling that the audience would resonate with, and coming up with proper staging for the artist to be seen.

After working together for some time, I felt I was ready to get my own camera. I became interested in wanting to shoot other forms of content, maybe even produce a documentary or short film of my own… The possibilities now seemed endless.

The artist I was working with planned to go out of town; this would have left me camera-less. I begged and pleaded with my mother to buy me a camera so that I could maintain my work, regardless of my artist being present or not; I was still using their camera for work.

She bought it, and as soon as my camera arrived I got right to it.

I increased my prospecting to obtain more gigs and work with more startup artists. I was seeing this type of business getting traction. Something was definitely happening.

I still had absolutely no idea who I really wanted to work with, I was open to working with almost anybody. Most of what I was trying didn’t ever go anywhere, until I met a new artist that would later evolve into my business partner for my next business venture.

My business partner and I connected very strongly on fundamental principles, we also shared similar visions for what we desired out of life. The more we discussed our own inner objectives, the more we saw the chemistry brewing. It made it much simpler to share my speculation with them because they did their own due-diligence on the market, including the overall risk/reward potential.

Would it be worth it to bring this artist in on what I was doing?

Although I knew I could have used the help to attract more clients, I was seeing a much bigger picture in the mix, furthermore, there were a few bigger jobs I could take on now that I had the assistance. With that being said, I saw that a business was forming from the ashes of the one currently crumbling. BRIO Developmental Specialists was becoming BRIODS Corporation Of America, a much larger and powerful pursuit.

Following the affirmed commitment of this new artist to become my new business partner, I decided to put a business plan in place to make everything official. We would register the company, open a bank account, and do the necessary things needed to be taken seriously.

December 2018, BRIODS Corporation Of America was born, and our sights were set on this fresh pathway before us:

Through BRIODS I would serve the market by producing high quality visual content using a specialized form of dynamic visual production, I would also help with idea generation, planning, and execution of content strategies to help reach more people on social media. Additionally, I would offer more advanced level business strategy sessions for those that wanted to take things up a notch with their brands.

Videography was my way in, and I knew it immediately, nevertheless, even with getting results and seeing things happening I wasn’t yet completely sold… It wasn’t until I came across another video that changed my insights forever.

My mind was already open from doing so much research and trying so many new things. The video I was watching showed a cinema style camera worth upwards of $100,000 dollars being retrofitted to a $250,000 dollar plus, Lamborghini Huracan.

Why?

Car commercials.

The majority of high end brands can pay big money for commercials, which is still considered a form of content creation. I was confident that we had the potential to make some decent money if we closed on some big gigs. I knew it was possible because even though I had no idea who those people were from the video I watched, I saw that they had an expensive camera strapped to an even more expensive car and I wanted in!

I got active and went to the streets in search of more opportunities. I took my camera practically everywhere in hopes that one day would be “THE DAY”. My running around paid off as I was able to find a supporter who pledged $10,000 dollars into our growing business. They saw the vision, what we had going for ourselves, and they wanted to play a part in seeing us get there… They even had a very rare car to help us jump start our automotive content aspirations.

With the money we were able to get some better equipment to make higher quality content. Since I had previous experience selling clothes as a store manager, I had confidence in us adding merch as an “evergreen” type of product to act as a base for our supporters to be part of the brand. Among other things, we began participating in strategic collaborations with other supportive businesses to increase our overall market share.

Over time I was able to refine BRIODS into a business that mainly focused on working with: influencers, artists, and entrepreneurs.

How it works is that most of these influencers, artists, and entrepreneurs are not able to produce high quality visual content for themselves, that’s where we at BRIODS serve as the conduit for creating what they need. In addition, we are able to provide design services for them in various avenues like merch, digital graphics, cover arts, social media posts, and much more.

One of my current proudest accomplishments is the fact that I’ve been able to materialize my innermost convictions about entrepreneurship into the outside world.

An example of this is my work with Ryan Cala at F.C. Kerbeck, Palmyra, New Jersey:

F.C. Kerberk has a history longer than 100 years, and is the ONLY high end luxury auto dealer in New Jersey. As a child I would visit their showroom with my parents, dreaming about the days I would own a Lamborghini. If you know this dealer, you know that they barely allow photos to be taken of the vehicles; due to the exclusivity of their clientele. For about 20 years I’ve been going there visiting and just looking at their cars, until such time that my business partner and I would walk in there only to meet one of the owners, and Ryan. Following a very brief discussion, Ryan inquired about our video services and sought to do a trial run, upon which we agreed. Ryan loved our work and to this day we work closely, revealing some of the world’s rarest and most exotic vehicles from Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Maserati, and so many more.

For me I know without a shadow of doubt that all my goals will come true, it’s only a matter of time.

My current launches are my book “The 25 Ways To Make Your Goals and Dreams Come True”, the book can be found on Amazon, but I would much rather people show support directly through our website: www.briods.com – Both the e-book and physical copy can be bought entirely from our site.

I have other projects in motion, but any support shown by ordering a copy of my newest book would be greatly appreciated… In fact, your support will help me gear up to launch my next book, which will be a “from nothing to something” business guideline to help clarify things for you about entrepreneurship even more.

Great Success!

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

When I look back and reflect on what got me the most success, the best results, and made the most impact on my journey, I would love to share at least 1 quality, 1 skill, and 1 area of knowledge from my experiences.

The #1 quality that has gotten me the most success is being “adaptable” to everything that happens along the journey toward success in life. There are innumerable amounts of variables and obstacles that come about at any given time, almost to the point that you’ll never be prepared for everything.. But, you’ll ALWAYS have the choice to adapt, and then proceed accordingly.

Being adaptable is incredibly loaded. You must be willing to adjust to new situations, be open to alternative ways of thinking/execution, you may also have to act a certain way that isn’t in your norm thus creating a more optimal result… Adaptability for me has been a life-line that I constantly tap into, especially as a parent and business owner.

The #1 skill that I’ve learned which brought me the best results in life is “cognition”. The ability to understand complex concepts and break them down into simple, actionable ideas is incredibly crucial to success. When you get around mentors and other successful people that are on higher levels, you’ll need to be able to think quickly and problem solve without prompts.

Cognition is also a very wide spectrum of mental skills that when applied properly, yield the greatest fruits of success that can be obtained.

The #1 area of knowledge that has always made the most impact on my journey is quite specifically, entrepreneurship. After all these years, it is my strongest belief that gaining the proper knowledge from entrepreneurship puts most things into perspective. Not only do you learn economics, of course, but you also learn about management, networking, team building, negotiations, logistics, sales & marketing, product development, and the list goes on… For me also, entrepreneurship has taught those soft skills like active listening, communication, problem solving, intuition, creativity, focused attention, and many more useful tools.

The best advice I can give you or anybody else, regardless of where they are on their journey, is to be open-minded about life and learn how to detach from people, ideas, and things so that you can receive even better possible results. Often you will find yourself outgrowing certain people, ideas, and things as you learn more and have a broader range of experiences. I won’t tell you or guarantee that what worked for me will work for you, but what I can promise is that once you start, whatever you may need will naturally come to you.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

A huge part of business, especially these days, is collaboration. Over the years I’ve experienced a lot of success working with the right people. Collaboration has honestly grown so much, that social media platforms are now promoting the feature for digital influencers to expand their audiences further.

There are huge benefits that come with collaborating and partnering with the right people so here are some traits that I’m looking for:

1)People With A Long Term Vision… Someone who has that 5 year, 10 year, and 20 year vision for their life of where they would want to be.

2)People With Delayed Gratification… It’s not going to happen overnight, but it’s not going to take forever either. The person I collaborate with must understand that this isn’t a get rich quick scheme, it is real life business. Things can go wrong at anytime, yet things will most often go right as long as certain principles are set in place; those would be discussed in a meeting.

3)People With An Attitude To Serve… The main types of collaboration I’m truly, truly interested in, are the ones that have an attitude to serve the larger mission of the brand. Business is never about us, it’s primarily about the mission that the brand is fulfilling. People are in search and are in need of something that brings value or improvement into their lives. The common goal of the team associated with the brand is to make sure that it grows effectively, efficiently, and economically sound.

If this sounds like you, and you’ve liked hearing my journey, let’s connect to see if we can win together!
