People Will Never Understand This…

Summary

• I had dinner with a close friend who's a public CEO, and he shared how he grows his company by speaking at many events.
• To get good at something, you must do it many times. My friend mentioned that people don't realize this.
• In my company, we have workshops where the team does their presentations 10-20 times before going live.
• It's not just about making slides; it's about practicing repeatedly with feedback.
• For each session, we go through the presentation, make corrections, and keep practicing until it's perfect.
• After one session is perfected, we do 20 more to ensure it's ready for the stage.
• I believe the highest person in the business should have the highest standards.
• If anyone in the company has higher standards than me, they should run the company.

How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing a practice of repetition to get really good at anything. Start by identifying an area where you want to improve, like public speaking or pitching your product. Then, practice it over and over.

A good way of doing this is to set up small, regular practice sessions. For example, if you have a presentation, don't just make your slides and go on stage. Practice your presentation in front of a small audience, like your team or family. Do this at least 10-20 times, just like we do in my company. Each time, get feedback and make improvements.

You can also hold workshops where you review and refine your skills. Go through your presentation step-by-step, make corrections, and practice again. Keep doing this until it's nearly perfect. After that, keep practicing even more to make sure you're fully prepared.

Another good practice is to always aim high with your standards. Set the bar for quality high and make sure everyone in your business follows it. If you're a leader, you should have the highest standards. This way, your whole team strives for excellence.

Lastly, if you find someone in your business with higher standards than you, consider giving them more responsibility. They can help raise the bar for everyone.

By focusing on consistent practice, regular feedback, and high standards, you can achieve great results without spending a lot of time or money. Keep at it!
