Summary

I have five different rules for businesses looking to live in this world of more than enough: 1 - Know your personal giving and receiving values. Evaluate those four things every day. 2 - Learn to ask a series of questions to learn how you can provide value to every person in every situation. 3 - Learn a series of questions with which you can ask for help—which is the most difficult and radically humble thing. I lost over $100 million by not asking for help, and my world changed when I learned how to ask the right questions. 4 - Study with a lens of productivity, accessibility, and gratitude what you are doing every day. Study your sleep. Study your calendar and figure out what’s urgent, and what you can delegate to someone else. 5 - Practice ending fear. When you feel like you’re on fire, stop, drop, and roll. Figure out why you feel that way. Tweet me @davidmeltzer your favorite takeaway from today's episode and come ask me questions live every Friday at 11:00 am PST / 2:00 pm EST. Text me at (949) 298-2905 or email me at david@dmeltzer.com to join!

0:22.0	David, welcome. Welcome to Hit Connect. I'm so excited. I'm Molly. I'm so happy to have you here.
0:27.2	Molly, it's such a pleasure to be here and thank you for that great introduction that my team gave
0:33.2	you to read off. I appreciate it. Yeah, thank you. So here's really what I want to know. You know,
0:39.9	I know you, many people know you, and really, really what I got to ask you is in your 20s,
0:46.0	you were super successful, you know, you became a millionaire. Then in your 30s, you know,
0:50.8	you lost it all. And what gave you the push to move forward and move forward from that failure
0:58.3	and say, you know what, I'm not just going to stay a failure my whole life. I'm going to actually
1:01.9	become successful. And what's like technical things that you do to make sure that you were
1:08.8	going to become successful? Well, you know, I spent minutes and moments when I lost everything in
1:14.2	depression. And the first thing that I realized is I need to get motivated because motivation
1:20.6	would get me up, get me back up, get me started, get me back started. And then I needed to work
1:25.2	and to be inspired. And so the first thing was just figuring out what would motivate me to get up.
1:30.9	And there's a few things. One, I watched a Rocky movie to motivate me because I figured,
1:37.0	you know, that movie, he gets knocked down all the time. So it's like that's going to motivate me
1:42.1	to get up. But also, I remember walking into the kitchen, my, my wife, I've known since the
1:47.4	fourth grade. I was part in new her family as well, her cousin was my friend. So her
1:52.9	uncle had known me since I was 10 years old. My wife was crying in the kitchen, didn't know I was
1:58.1	there. And just, you know, crying to her uncle said, I don't know what to do. I'm not sure David
