Your life may not be on the line, but your lifestyle is. Especially as an entrepreneur, it's the life and death of your business, future, and dreams." - Waldo Waldman11:58 - "Those soft skills we learn in the military will allow us to fly combat missions against those veterans or the celebrity brands who are out there trying to squash your business, commoditize you, and impact your lifestyle." - Waldo Waldman25:57 -"You can't just have a positive attitude. Know your tools. Know your technologies. Find out how to make it more authentic in your business. Humanize it, and then leverage your technologies, the digitization, and all those things that we have to make it easy for the prospect to say yes to you or your client to continue to say yes to you." - Waldo Waldman31:03 - "It's not what keeps us up at night that matters. It's what gets us out of bed. What keeps us up at night is fear-based. It's debilitating. It distracts us. It holds us back. What gets us out of bed is joy. It builds courage." - Waldo Waldman47:23 - "As an entrepreneur, especially as a veteran where it was about teamwork and trusting your wingman to do their job, get your ego out of the way, and then continuously get coached." - Waldo WaldmanEngage with Waldo WaldmanLinkedInWebsiteNever Fly SoloConnect with Brett Henderson:310-491-7975Swe90.comLinkedIn: Brett HendersonStrategic Wealth EndeavorListen to The Veteran Entrepreneur Masterclass PodcastApple PodcastSpotifyGoogle Podcast
