There are so many great lessons in this first half of our interview. Here are just a few that I’d like to note:

1. August reached out to someone that he admired and respected, and said, “I want to learn from you. I will find you clients if you teach me everything you know.”

This is hard to do for most of us, to get outside of our comfort zone and ask for help and for guidance. But the way to get on the fast-track to success is to learn from those that have come before you and accomplished the things that you and I want to accomplish. I reach out to people almost daily to ask them for guidance or wisdom. And I have 4 coaches that I learn from regularly! 4!

2. Sales and communication is a key area for everyone to improve and master. The better you are at these, the more business success will come your way.

3. We are all want to be on this transformational journey from selfishness to selflessness.

I love the way that August explains it. And this journey is the way to success, financially and beyond.

It is such amazing insight that needs to be listened to again and again.
