The Growth Trap: A Continuous Plan to Avoid the Traps of Life and Build a Better You by Ralph DiBugnara Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling author Ralph DiBugnara provides a guide for anyone seeking to avoid or move beyond setbacks for the sake of future personal and professional growth. “The Growth Trap is a Must-Read for anyone who is looking to achieve growth in their personal and business life and are ready to level up their game. We all experience Growth Traps throughout our careers and this book helps you overcome them.“ – Kevin Harrington, Inventor of the Infomercial and Original Shark on ABCs hit show Shark Tank This book is like a how-to manual on how to avoid the traps in life personal and professional. It also serves as a handbook on growth. Definitely a must read for any up and coming professional or anyone looking for personal growth. – Hovain, President of Cinematic Management, Hip Hop music executive manager Growth is a natural part of life between the ages of birth and adulthood, as human beings typically get bigger, stronger, smarter, and more functional with age. This growth is unintentional and requires little to no effort—but at some point, that growth stops, and an individual's progress is then limited to whether or not they are actively seeking future development. The Growth Trap addresses a condition that Ralph DiBugnara has dealt with throughout his life—personally, professional, and directly with his brand. After seasons of stagnated growth, he's learned the necessity of intentionally pursuing progress, rather than expecting goals to be accomplished without effort. Ralph explains how many get caught in a growth trap when they deem progress and change to be too much of a challenge. These individuals like to talk, reminisce, and ultimately identify with their “past selves,” because it's easier than facing who they are now. And while it's better to pursue growth and work towards the accomplishment of one's goal, that doesn't mean that it's possible to avoid all growth traps along the way. Ralph DiBugnara's The Growth Trap is an essential resource for those looking to achieve their goals and avoid pitfalls that will hinder their progress. He shares his personal experiences—as well as the strategies he learned along the way—so that readers can grow their brands and businesses while becoming true disruptors in every aspect of their lives. About the Author Ralph DiBugnara is a nationally recognized real estate expert who serves as President of Home Qualified – the digital resource for buyers, sellers and real estate agents driving today's millennial market; and Vice President at Cardinal Financial, a nationally recognized mortgage loan company behind $50 billions of closed loans. A frequent industry commentator, Ralph is considered one of the leading voices across the next big trends in real estate.

Today on The ProVision Brokerage Celebrity Segment Original “Shark” on Shark Tank Kevin Harrington and His Mentee Share Why Mentorship Amid COVID-19 Uncertainty is Your Most Powerful Tool To Succeed in Business and Beyond. The two co-wrote the groundbreaking new book Mentor to Millions: Secrets of a Success in Business and Beyond, (Available September 2020) and I'd love to book them for an interview with you on your show to talk about why, perhaps now more than any time in our history, entrepreneurs, business owners and beyond should look towards finding a mentor for guidance through this time of grave uncertainty and distress. While Americans believe that having a mentor is important, less than half of the American population (46%) claims that they have one. Both Kevin and Mark are ready to change that narrative, especially in a time where meaningful guidance and connectivity is arguably important now more than ever.

How to Use a Mentor Effectively What You Will Learn: How Kevin first became an entrepreneur in the early 1980s by way of his family business and how he grew and helped create an entire industry Why Kevin co-authored his book “Mentor to Millions” in an effort to teach others how to find and how to use a mentor effectively Why writing a bestselling book was a key goal Kevin set for himself, and how he and his own mentor Mark Timm created the book based on their relationship Why going all-in with your mentor and committing to being a good student is crucial for you to reap the rewards of the relationship What advice Kevin suggests for finding the right mentor to work with, and how he leveraged connections he already had to find one of his ideal business mentors Why now, even during the chaos of the global pandemic, is the ideal time to look for and begin working with a mentor What tremendous benefits you can receive as both a mentor and as a mentee, and why the relationship should be mutually beneficial Why it is important to be clear and set your expectations at the beginning of the mentor-mentee relationship What remarkable opportunities, business ventures, and networking growth Kevin was able to receive from being a mentor The Mutually Beneficial Power of the Mentor-Mentee Relationship The mentor-mentee relationship is about more than just learning from a more experienced, seasoned business professional. When done correctly, both parties can reap incredible rewards and discover new opportunities. These trusted relationships can lead to new business introductions and even new business ventures for both the mentor and the student. In this episode of Onward Nation, encore guest and “Original Shark” on Shark Tank Kevin Harrington discusses the broad benefits that make these relationships so rewarding, he discusses how to find and how to use a mentor effectively to get the most out of the relationship, and he shares stories of his own experiences both as a mentee and as a mentor to others. How to Find a Great Mentor Before you can learn how to use a mentor effectively, you have to find the right mentor that fits your business and its needs. As Kevin explained during the interview, the best way to find the ideal mentor is to explore your existing relationships with the lawyers, accountants, and other professionals you’re already working with. Your professional network knows your business and your values and can potentially connect you with a great mentor who would be a good fit for your business and its current challenges. As Kevin suggested, ask yourself who you write checks to and start mining those relationships. How to Use a Mentor Effectively Once you’ve formed a relationship with a mentor (or as a mentor with a new mentee), be clear and upfront about your expectations. As the mentee, it’s your job to prove to your mentor that you are their best, most attentive student. Respect the wisdom your mentor is willing to share, and take action based on their recommendations. If you “don’t have time” to follow their guidance, why should they spend the time mentoring you? Learning how to use a mentor effectively is about listening, communicating, and then following through. If you put in the effort, the rewards both you and your mentor will discover may surprise you.

While Americans believe that having a mentor is important, less than half of the American population (46%) claims that they have one. Both Kevin and Mark are ready to change that narrative, especially in a time where meaningful guidance and connectivity is arguably important now more than ever.

Click here for “5 Ways To Close More Deals (And Change More Lives)” and start asking with confidence and consistency TODAY! Here are a few key secrets we talked about in this episode: Michelle introduces Kevin Harrington. Kevin shares that despite having a business that was making $50M a year, $5M of which was profit, banks still did not want to extend him a line of credit. In order to get the financing he needed, Kevin needed to hire someone to teach him how to speak with bankers in a way that would get him financing. Kevin shares that financing isn’t about how good your business is doing, it’s all about how well you communicate your vision and your plan for payback. Kevin shares three things that improved the way he spoke with financial institutions. One of the biggest struggles that Kevin sees in aspiring entrepreneurs is “Selfish Entrepreneur Syndrome.” He shares what that is, in this episode! Are you familiar with the company, Beachbody? It’s creator, Carl Daikeler worked for Kevin and was a visionary entrepreneur. Kevin believes that his biggest NO happened because he missed out on the chance of being a part of Beachbody. Listen to hear the full story! Kevin shares how having curiosity overload, and never waiting for deals to come to him has led to his massive success. Michelle asks Kevin how he keeps himself from getting burnt out and Kevin shares that he loves to keep things mixed up in life and in business, so that he remains energized and alert.   The biggest mistake that Kevin ever made was not adopting the continuity model in his business sooner. They targeted big purchases from lots of different individuals, thankfully that has since changed in Kevin’s business. It took Kevin years to get to the continuity model and it cost his business hundreds of millions of dollars. See, even hugely successful entrepreneurs experience massive mistakes!

"If you're sitting there wondering, is now the right time? I'm going to tell you that it is." - Kevin Harrington Act is a verb. It means to move, to make a decision, to exert energy. Acting without a plan might get you into a mess, but always planning and never acting will get you nowhere. Kevin Harrington is an entrepreneur and internationally successful businessman. He's the inventor of the infomercial, an Original Shark on Shark Tank, and has launched over 500 products, $5 billion worth of sales on a global scale. He's the master of knowing when to act. Kevin and I are talking about creating products that solve problems, the hard work of getting started, and knowing when to start acting on your ideas. He's sharing how he created the infomercial, and where he gets his motivation from. Remember all those great product ideas you've got? Take some time with what Kevin's got to say and then act! "Why do we choose to do these things? Because we're entrepreneurs and we're looking for the infinite opportunities" - Kevin Harrington Highlights Look at where you are in your development and take it a step as a time. Keep your mind in a position of constant curiosity, you never know when you're going to have a eureka moment. When you see something that doesn't make sense to you, be open to coming up with a solution and a product. Act now. Don't tell yourself that someday in the future you'll act on your ideas. Truly, sincerely believe you can make it happen, vividly imagine it, and then act upon it. There are multiple forms and degrees of entrepreneurship, depending on how big you want your business to get and how much risk you're willing to take. Value your time. Make sure that your hard work is paying off enough. Let the things your want and can't afford motivate you to keep pushing forward. Be careful of shortcuts. Know what you want but be willing to pay your dues to learn how get there. The idea is worth 10%. Acting on it is the other 90%. You need experts to mentor and advise you. Look for people who are the best at what they do and never stop asking them to coach you.

"If you're sitting there wondering, is now the right time? I'm going to tell you that it is." - Kevin Harrington Act is a verb. It means to move, to make a decision, to exert energy. Acting without a plan might get you into a mess, but always planning and never acting will get you nowhere. Kevin Harrington is an entrepreneur and internationally successful businessman. He’s the inventor of the infomercial, an Original Shark on Shark Tank, and has launched over 500 products, $5 billion worth of sales on a global scale. He’s the master of knowing when to act. Kevin and I are talking about creating products that solve problems, the hard work of getting started, and knowing when to start acting on your ideas. He’s sharing how he created the infomercial, and where he gets his motivation from. Remember all those great product ideas you’ve got? Take some time with what Kevin’s got to say and then act! "Why do we choose to do these things? Because we're entrepreneurs and we're looking for the infinite opportunities" - Kevin Harrington Highlights Look at where you are in your development and take it a step as a time. Keep your mind in a position of constant curiosity, you never know when you're going to have a eureka moment. When you see something that doesn't make sense to you, be open to coming up with a solution and a product. Act now. Don't tell yourself that someday in the future you'll act on your ideas. Truly, sincerely believe you can make it happen, vividly imagine it, and then act upon it. There are multiple forms and degrees of entrepreneurship, depending on how big you want your business to get and how much risk you're willing to take. Value your time. Make sure that your hard work is paying off enough. Let the things your want and can't afford motivate you to keep pushing forward. Be careful of shortcuts.
