Whether you are growing your business or working on a sales team, landing contracts with billion-dollar companies might seem out of reach. This perspective isn't true. Tom Hoffert was part of the sales team at Don Poncho, who helped the company grow from 25 million to 125 million in sales yearly by landing major contracts with companies like Subway and Chipotle. In this episode, he breaks down tactics you can use to grow your brand and stand out from the crowd. (Spoiler: it starts with believing it is possible.)

The difference in hitting your goals and not is the way we spend our time. People who are intentional with their time are intentional with their outcomes. It's so easy to be lost in the weeds and act every day without taking a moment to think about whether or not the actions we are taking are getting us where we want. In this podcast I break down three steps that can help you define your goals and start taking action. Envision yourself a year from now. When you look back at the year, what do you want to have accomplished? What is the smallest step forward you can take towards this goal? Set a date for action. When are you going to start taking action towards this goal? I also take a moment to share a couple of my own big goals for this year. Send me a DM on Instagram, @MrJacobEspi, with your goals for the year and action you are taking. I want to hear about them!

With emotional intelligence responsible for 80% of our success, it's important for leaders at all levels to be intentional about developing their emotional intelligence. Fortunately, we are able to improve our EQ with hard work and focus. What is EQ? The authors of Emotional Intelligence 2.0 describe it as, “Your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships.” We recommend sending out an anonymous survey to your peers to see if they agree or disagree with the statements below. I feel comfortable approaching my leader for help when needed My leader listens when I provide them with feedback that is about them My leader is proactive in helping me when I need it My leader effectively managers conflict on the team and with their peers I see my leader ask for help when they need it Join the conversation by following @MrJacobEspi on Twitter and Instagram.

Today's episode is inspired by a tweet from The Rza.
