On this episode Andrew discusses: Be Resilient, Look At The Root,
Do Not be Afraid of a No, Think 5 Steps Ahead, and so much more.
Enjoy the first episode! Be Resilient A lot of people expect you
to fail! One of the things you have to overcome early on in your
career is your emotions. Something that may be hard to understand
fully, but your closest friends and even family don’t really
understand what its like to be an entrepreneur. So their most
natural instinct is to criticize you. Don’t take it personal.
They just don't know/understand the root of why you're doing what
you're doing. Look At The Root When you understand the root of a
problem, you're not upset with what comes out of the solution.
Whenever you find a problem, you’ll never go wrong if you look at
the sub level of the situation. If you do that, you will be able
to be more resilient. Do Not be Afraid of a No Entrepreneurs are
always hearing the word No! Do something random throughout your
day to get a yes. While talking to your significant other,
friend, or family member; ask them a question just so you can get
a yes. It may not be a huge victory but it’s better than to
consistently hear the word no. Once you get over the fear of
hearing no, you’ll be more successful. When pitching your
business understand that even though you have a great product or
even an idea, you will still hear the word no. It hurts, but the
thing you can not do is quit! Regardless of who says it and how
many times you hear. Think 5 Steps Ahead Live partially in the
future. Most days Andrew Effiong is thinking 5 years or at least
5 steps ahead. If he’s able to understand the outcome of a
solution, he’s able to quickly think on his feet and react
appropriately to solve the solution, because he’s already thought
of it in his head. By thinking ahead, he’s able to understand his
future. Andrew Effiong Email: aeffiong@icloud.com Twitter:
