Perry Marshall Minute: “We’re not going to listen to your crap anymore”

Mel, In my next newsletter, I present Wisdom from the Upper Echelons of Planet Perry We surveyed Roundtable members and asked them: "What is your most important success learning curve right now?" We got 12 short, pithy answers that get to the heart of what it means to be a real entrepreneur in the 21st Century. Here's a long one from Mark Riffey... I was asking the question that was avoiding the real question, which is what we talked about at the last Roundtable meeting which is, "Are you gonna buy the business? Are you just gonna position yourself for equity?" Bob asked me last night, "Are we're going to talk about you buying the business yet, or not?" So I got up in front of the group and said, "Somebody is gonna call me on this because I'm just avoiding the real question." I just got some good old "We're not going to listen to your crap anymore. We can see right through you. You're transparent. So give us these answers." I don't get these questions from anybody else. I don't have such conversations with anybody else, even though I hang out with business owners all the time. We don't have these conversations. It's just different. I knew that there were people in the group who had been down this road before. And I don't want to make egregious mistakes. I needed some advice from people like that. I want to be able to have good conversations with people who aren't gonna accept my BS for what it is and ask me hard questions. Ask yourself, "Do I think that way? Do I really have that perspective? Do I want that for my business?" Do I seek out people who will not accept my BS?" In Planet Perry we ask the tough questions. We have minimal tolerance for BS. If that rubs you the wrong way, go find some poodles to hang out with. We are wolverines. Join the wild and free and seize the day.

A Day in the Life of Perry (Video 5)

I believe our world needs demilitarized zones. DMZs.

Mel, I believe our world needs demilitarized zones. DMZs. These are safe spaces where people can come and discuss issues without fear of being "shot at" by anonymous psychopaths We need them in politics, business, and religion. I attend a "bar church" once a month that's a great example of the DMZ concept. You probably need one in your industry or your life.

Perry Marshall Minute: Clean Up Your Room

Mel, Because of a trauma I suffered as a teen, I vowed, (for reasons I make clear in my next newsletter), to do something that cost me dearly when I hit my early forties. I hit a midlife crisis. It was as though somebody had died and I wasn't quite sure who it was. I was sad all the time. For about six months I felt like the skin had been ripped off my chest and I was walking around with raw organs exposed. All because of this childhood vow. Here's my million-dollar advice for you today: There are feelings you're just going to have to feel. You can't deflect them or medicate them unless you want to feel even more negative feelings with compound interest later on. You need to process those and go through them. Sometimes there are shortcuts and sometimes there are hacks… but sometimes there are none. You just need to feel it, otherwise you cut yourself off from…well, everything. Your family, your friends, your success, yourself. When I was plowing through the worst part of this, my mentor, Tom Hoobyar would tell me, "Perry, when you get that stuff sorted out, your intuition is going to be sharper. Your perceptions are going to be clearer. Your discernment is going to be improved." Tom was 100% right about all of it. I am writing this month's newsletter to encourage you: A lot of people think that business and success and achieving your goals in life is all about technical skills and knowledge. But I think it's much more than about courage and emotional honesty and transparency. The technical and business skills are secondary. Clean up your room.

The Perry Marshall Minute: The $500 Dinner that Might Cure Cancer

Be the connector in your industry

Mel, In my next New Renaissance newsletter I talk about an inexpensive strategy that I employ as often as I can. I call it the Interdisciplinary Stir Fry. All you do is gather a bunch of interesting people and put them together in a room. It could just be dinner. It could be a cocktail party. It could be a workshop. It could be a brainstorming session. Whatever works for you. I hosted a small version of this three years ago at Oxford University. There were only about six or seven people at that one – that was as many as I could gather at the time. But I have a feeling that it wasn't sheer coincidence that a month later I got invited to make my Evolution 2.0 prize announcement at the Royal Society. Which eventually led to the Cancer and Evolution Symposium. Which eventually led to the formation of Science Research 2.0 which is funding research that might actually cure cancer. I'm not exaggerating. BIG things happen...for you and the world...when you connect interesting people. Be the connector in your industry. In my next New Renaissance newsletter I'll show you how. Even if you don't think you're interesting! Even if you don't think you know many interesting people. It's a hundred-thousand-dollar if not million-dollar strategy. Start stirring! (If you're not a New Renaissance member, you can sign up until January 15th to get the next issue…and all the other great stuff you get in New Renaissance by clicking right here.)
