EP430: Hector Garcia - Innovate & Create: Reframing Your Story - Part 1

“Innovation means always doing it differently, always
doing it better. Innovation is not always technology; innovation
is providing a different point of view to the status
quo.”


 -Hector Garcia


 


There will always be people more successful than we are. This is
only a problem if we decide it's not worth taking any action to
better our lives because we’ll never be better than those we
idolize. Success doesn’t have to mean being the best. Having a
healthy, steadily growing business, with loyal clients and
dedicated employees is a feat that should be celebrated. 


 


Very few people become well-known overnight, it takes time and
the confidence to keep putting yourself out there, even if your
numbers are low to start with. The more consistent we are, the
faster those numbers begin to rise. Especially when you stop
trying to sell people something and start showing them you want
to authentically help them.


 


Hector Garcia, CPA and YouTuber, is this episode’s featured
guest. In this first of a two-part series, Michael and Hector
explore how to successfully market ourselves, the power of an
innovation mindset, and why connecting authentically
matters. 


 


If you are tired of letting other people’s success paralyze you
into inaction and want to learn to market yourself better, then
this is the episode to get you thinking innovatively about the
future of your business. 


 


During this interview, you'll learn...



The value of putting yourself out there


How to embrace an innovation mindset 


The importance of competing against yourself, not
others
