Jeff Hoffman is a successful entrepreneur, proven CEO, worldwide motivational speaker, published author, Hollywood film producer, and a producer of a Grammy-winning jazz album in 2015. He has been the founder of multiple startups, has been the CEO of both public and private companies, and has served as a senior executive in many capacities. Jeff has been part of a number of well-known companies, including Priceline.com. uBid.com, ColorJar, and more. Jeff is a featured business expert seen on Fox News, Fox Business, CNN, CNN International, Bloomberg News, CNBC, ABC, and NPR, and in publications including Forbes, Inc., Time, Fast Company, the Wall Street Journal, and more. You can find out more about Jeff and the work that he is doing by visiting his website at jeffhoffman.com Key Points 1. Don’t Fear Failure… Fear Not Trying Failure is an inevitable part of life. Most of us spend our whole lives trying to escape and avoid it when we should be running towards it. We’ve been taught our whole lives that failure is somehow a bad thing, that it means you aren’t a “real” man, or that you aren’t good enough. In reality, failure is simply feedback. Instead of running from failure, embrace it. Learn to fear not trying instead of failing. … When you fail, you grow, you learn, and you improve. When you allow your fear of failure to control your actions you end up paralyzed and never take action. As a result, you stagnate, burn out, and eventually die with your best work inside of you. 2. Follow your Curiosity and Ignore the Labels It’s easy to allow your label to control you. Think about it… How many times have you thought to yourself “Wow, I’d love to dive into real estate investing, but I’m in IT, I can’t do that” Or “I would really enjoy learning how to dance the Tango, but I’m a powerlifter so that’ll never happen” Or even… “I’d really love to produce an album but I’m a marketing guy… That’s not really my style” We get so caught up in our own labels that we prevent ourselves from pursuing our deepest passions and curiosity. Remember: You are a learning machine… Not an occupation. Just because you make money in a certain way or have been in a specific niche for a long time doesn’t mean that you can’t learn new skills. … It doesn’t mean that you can’t pursue new hobbies, passions, and businesses. As Joseph Campbell says, “Follow your bliss”. Pursue what makes you curious, no matter how odd or out of character it may seem. At the end of the day, the person who wins at life is the person who leaves it all on the field. So stop holding back from life because your interests don’t conform to your label. 3. Stick to One Pursuit at a Time Although it’s important that you have a wide variety of interests and hobbies to pursue, it’s even more important that you understand how to successfully pursue each interest. How do you do this? … One at a time. Although Jeff has a wide variety of achievements and accolades ranging from the transportation business to the music & film industry to consulting and keynote speaking, he didn’t try to accomplish all of these things at once. He devoted himself single-mindedly to each task for a period of 3-5 years. In your own life, you can do anything that you want. But you must learn to focus on only one thing at a time… As the old adage goes, “The fox who chases two rabbits catches none.” Pick one passion, define what constitutes “success” with regards to that passion, pursue it single-mindedly until you achieve your goal an then move on. 4. Eradicate Your Fear of Failure with This Simple Exercise If you are afraid of failure, then listen up. I’m about to share a fool proof strategy to eradicate your fear and move forward with your life. Are you ready? Then here it is… Anytime you are afraid of failing, dive into your failure. Ask yourself “What will happen if I fail and how can I recover?” For example, if you are considering starting a new business and you fail miserably, what will actually happen? … And more importantly, how can you minimize the damage? If you fail at the entrepreneurial endeavor you can: Move back in with your parents Get a 9-5 corporate job for 6-12 months Save every penny that you can Try again When you break it down, it doesn’t seem so scary, right? The concept of failure is often more terrifying than failure itself. When you look at the reality of your situation, you will quickly realize that you can overcome any setback with relative ease and quickly get back on your feet if things go South. So feel the fear. Figure out your escape plan. And then take action. 5. Begin with the End in Mind One of the biggest mistakes that most entrepreneurs make is that they begin without a clear end goal in mind. They set all of these wild goals and ambitions but never really know where the path is ultimately going to take them. Before you set out to achieve anything, you need to begin with the end in mind. What counts as success? What counts as failure? What quantifiable metrics can you use to determine whether or not you’ve achieved success? When you have a clear end game in mind, the day to day tasks of pursuing a goal becomes much simpler. You know exactly what you need to do, what you need to avoid, and how you can expedite the path to your goal. Take some time to sit down after listening to this interview and write out answers to the following: What does success look like in my: Relationships Finances Career Personal development Physical health Spirituality When you know exactly what you are trying to get out of life, life has a way of helping you succeed. Begin with the end in mind and your path to success will be far smoother and simpler. 6. Make People Understand Your “Why” Oftentimes, as men, we get so caught up in our careers and finances that we can neglect important relationships and connections in our life. One of the reasons that this is so easy to do is that we understand the bigger picture and just assume that everyone else in our life understands it as well. We think to ourselves, “I’m working this hard for my family, for my community, and for our future… Surely they understand”. But we never actually take the time to sit the important people down and help them understand why we are pushing so hard. Your wife and kids probably don’t know why you are always at the office. They assume that work is more important than they are and that you’d rather work than spend time with them. Even when this isn’t the case… As such, it’s important that you sell your proverbial “Board of Directors” (the important people in your life) on the “Why” of what you’re doing. Why are you working so hard to build this business or advance your career? Is it to… Retire early Pay for your kid’s college Take your wife on a 3 year round the world trip Get out of debt and have the money to work less than 10 hours a week Enjoy a better quality of life Give back to your community and make a real difference Why are you doing what you’re doing? Once you have the answer for yourself, share it with the important people in your life. More often than not, they will understand and rally to help you. 7. Ideas are Welcomed, Execution is Worshiped Simply put, ideas are great but execution is where the magic happens. You can think and come up with ideas all day long. But if you don’t get your ass out of the chair and make moves to achieve your goals, you will remain stuck exactly where you are. Execution is everything. Without the grit and determination to take action and make things happen, you will never succeed. Become a master action taker and the world is yours. 8. Your Success is Someone Else’s Miracle We live in such a guilt ridden society that it can be easy to get trapped in the mindset that success is dirty. … It’s easy to believe that making money is wrong and that you should give away all of your surplus. But this is a false concept. The more successful you are, the more power and influence you can exert to help others. When you have millions of dollars in the bank, it’s much easier to make a difference when disaster strikes. When you have vibrant physical health, it’s much easier to help others overcome their own challenges. When you are successful, you can show up as a miracle in someone else’s life. If you want to make a real difference in the world, then success is your duty and obligation. Forget what you’ve been told… Becoming successful doesn’t make you greedy or power hungry. It gives you the ability to make a difference. 9. What is Enough? In pursuit of any goal, whether its… Financial success Career success Marriage Physical health Travel & Adventure Or fame You must know when enough is enough. When can you call it quits and move on to the next goal or activity? If you don’t have a clear end game in mind, it’s easy to get caught in the comparison trap and waste your life constantly trying to compete with other people and buy the biggest boat, fastest car, or most luxurious mansion in town. Ask yourself… “What do I really need to be happy and feel fulfilled?” There’s no right answer for everyone, but the more clearly you can figure out what you need to be happy, the easier it will be to achieve it. Forget keeping up with the Joneses and showing off on Instagram. Figure out what brings you joy and makes you feel fulfilled and then go achieve it.

JEFF HOFFMAN: Advice From a Billionaire Serial Entrepreneur

On this episode of Real Talk University, Andre and Christian sat down with Jeff Hoffman, a serial entrepreneur best known for being part of the original team that started Priceline. Jeff has been a part of numerous other companies, including uBid.com and ColorJar. Outside of his businesses, Jeff is a published author, distinguished speaker, producer of a Grammy-winning jazz album, and an executive producer of an Emmy winning TV show. He shared a lot of knowledge in the interview, but here are the 3 main takeaways: Go out in the world and see if people in your target audience are receptive of your idea. Having a million dollar idea is great, but if the people you try to sell it to don’t understand it, you will never succeed. Skip parties and having fun now for massive success later on. While everyone's out partying in college, differentiate yourself by being one of the few who works on their craft on a Friday night. By consistently doing this, you will be massively successful and be able to attend more lavish parties as an adult. Getting around people you idolize is possible, as long as you bring value to them. Successful entrepreneurs, influencers and celebrities are constantly flooded by people who want to be in their circle, so you need to make sure you have a value proposition for them if you want any chance of sticking around. If you do bring value to the table, fostering a relationship with someone you could previously only dream of meeting can be a real possibility. - Start Your Own Podcast TODAY!

155: Best Of: Building a Spectacular Team with Jeff Hoffman

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 26, 2019 35:33

The main challenge for Bill and his clients is finding talented people. There is a big shortage of qualified people all over the world and on top of that, it’s difficult to retain good talent. This episode features a ‘best of’ episode from Jeff Hoffman, who is excellent at attracting and connecting with people! Jeff Hoffman is a successful entrepreneur and the Founder of Priceline, UBid, and ColorJar. Jeff has worked alongside celebrities like Elton John, Britney Spears, and NSYNC. He knows a thing or two about what it takes to engage people and on today’s show, he shares his expertise in team-building practices that bring good people together! One of the most important lessons Jeff learned about scaling up is the value of teams. As a founder, you are used to doing everything and anything in the beginning. The problem with this, though, is that if your company does well, you start to think you’re pretty good at all of this. Once founders hit a later stage in their company, they find themselves overwhelmed. They are working harder than ever before and putting in more hours than they’ve ever done before, yet, despite this, they’ve stopped growing. The truth is, you’re never going to do anything massive or at scale by yourself. Jeff was not smart enough to understand this in the beginning, but through his mistakes, he’s learned that the day you start taking some of your time to delegate your tasks and to find people that are smarter than you to run the company, is the day you can finally work less and be less stressed. Jeff had to make an active effort to find talented people. Sending out an ad doesn’t work. The best people in your market aren’t looking for a job, so schedule the time to scout them. The second part of running a successful team is getting out of their way. Let the people who are smarter than you do their jobs! Your real job as a founder is to build a workplace environment and culture that people love to go to, where the best people in the industry all want to work for you and never want to leave. Your job is to take care of the people who work for you. When you’ve achieved this, you never have to worry about the growth of your company.

In this latest episode of The Only Business Networking Podcast on iTunes, we have Part 7 of the Who or What Series where Jordan Harbinger from the Jordan Harbinger Show, Amy Porterfield from the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast, and Jeff Hoffman, serial entrepreneur from Priceline.com and Ubid.com talk to your host Travis Chappell, to continue the debate of whether who you know or what you know is more important, and why. Episode Highlights: Jordan Harbinger: It’s all about who you know - not just connecting up but up, down, and laterally. Your network is the most important resource you have. Short term - your network is great, long term - your network is crucial. How Jordan defines networking - helping people without the expectation of return and in a scalable way. When people help you and keep score they’ll write you off when you don’t reciprocate. Never think about networking transactionally. If you think everyone is taking advantage of you, it’s probably you. If someone won’t help you, even with small things, they’re probably taking advantage of you. Amy Porterfield: Who you know is important to a certain extent, but what you know is also important. People always need things done, so figure out what those things are. How Travis developed a relationship with John Lee Dumas and then got Amy Porterfield on the show. How Amy became friends with Marie Forleo and why she didn’t pay for that friendship. How to get started adding value to others. If you’re an evangelist for what someone is doing you can’t help but notice them. A person of influence is not going to tell you how they want you to support them. Jeff Hoffman: Who you know is more important because you don’t know everything. You’re not as smart as you think you are, and you’re not good at 12 things, you’re good at one thing. If you’re a founder/CEO/Manager you should schedule days to be out of the office to build your network. Why Jeff engages strangers all the time. How Jeff got a Universal Studios executive to come to be a partner in his independent studio. Most people neglect networking because they’re too busy being inefficient to stop and take time to be more efficient. 3 Key Points: Networking is not all about schmoozing people ahead of you, you should be well-connected with everyone - up, down, and laterally. There is not a difference between networking and real relationship building. Don’t build your network when you need it, build it way before you need it. Tweetable Quotes: “The only things people can’t take away from you are your skills and relationships.” -Jordan “You don’t have to be Richard Branson to offer value to people.” -Travis “Your heart has to be in the right place, it’s never about making something happen for you, and then magic happens.” -Amy “The only way to build anything of significance in life is to build a team.” -Jeff Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at Buildyournetwork.co (http://www.buildyournetwork.co/) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at freemmcourse.com/enroll (http://www.freemmcourse.com/join) Download Meet Your Hero at travischappell.com/hero (http://travischappell.com/hero) Explode Your Network at travischappell.com/explode (http://travischappell.com/explode) For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy (https://www.acast.com/privacy)

Then think of that idea as a puzzle piece that you are gathering to solve a problem not otherwise solved. Consult to Sell o Schedule days out of your office and with your customer. Go to where your customer is and hang out, not for selling, just to find out what they are needing. Connect to Build and Grow o Document your processes, automate what you can, and outsource those things that you can. Success Thinking, Activities and Vision o Your attitude determines your outcome. Part of success is focusing on what’s possible, not what’s not possible. Sweet Spot of Success "Instead of complaining about the life you have, why don’t you design the life you wish you had? You can live any life you want to life, as long as you find a way to become valuable to the people you want to be around.

Tune in for an entertaining conversation on entrepreneurship, technology, AI, and much more! 5 Golden Nuggets Shared: 1. Stop spending time stuck in a job you hate. You have the option to design your own life, take advantage of that. Create the job you wish you had! 2. Create something amazing in the world and you will never worry about getting paid. When you build things that make an impact and solve problems, money will follow excellence. 3. Find the one thing you are good at and outsource the rest. Many people try to focus on too many trades or do it all themselves, resulting in burnout and lack of efficiency. Focus on your genius zone and bring in others to help you in the areas you lack. 4. Technology will soon replace jobs no one really wants to do or should be doing. Humans should have jobs that make the world a better place, not to just make a living for themselves. Live should not be lived to just pay bills and die. 5. The key to living the life you want is to become valuable to the people you want to be around. Study the industry you want to be in, solve a problem they don’t yet have the solution for, and show your value. 3 Bold and Kick-Ass Quotes: 1. “The journey has never been about money, the journey has always been about freedom.” - Jeff Hoffman 2. “Play your position and surround yourself with people smarter than you for every other position.” - Jeff Hoffman 3. “Intelligence has always been equally distributed, opportunity has never been.” - Jeff Hoffman Click the hyperlink below to connect directly with Jeff!

Jeff is a featured business expert seen on Fox News, Fox Business, CNN, CNN International, Bloomberg News, CNBC, ABC, and NPR, and in publications including Forbes, Inc., Time, Fast Company, the Wall Street Journal, and more Key Points 1. Don't Fear Failure... Fear Not Trying Failure is an inevitable part of life. Most of us spend our whole lives trying to escape and avoid it when we should be running towards it. We've been taught our whole lives that failure is somehow a bad thing, that it means you aren't a "real" man, or that you aren't good enough. In reality, failure is simply feedback. Instead of running from failure, embrace it. Learn to fear not trying instead of failing. ... When you fail, you grow, you learn, and you improve. When you allow your fear of failure to control your actions you end up paralyzed and never take action. As a result, you stagnate, burn out, and eventually die with your best work inside of you. 2. Follow your Curiosity and Ignore the Labels It's easy to allow your label to control you. Think about it... How many times have you thought to yourself "Wow, I'd love to dive into real estate investing, but I'm in IT, I can't do that" Or "I would really enjoy learning how to dance the Tango, but I'm a powerlifter so that'll never happen" Or even... "I'd really love to produce an album but I'm a marketing guy... That's not really my style" We get so caught up in our own labels that we prevent ourselves from pursuing our deepest passions and curiosity. Remember: You are a learning machine... Not an occupation. Just because you make money in a certain way or have been in a specific niche for a long time doesn't mean that you can't learn new skills. ... It doesn't mean that you can't pursue new hobbies, passions, and businesses. As Joseph Campbell says, "Follow your bliss". Pursue what makes you curious, no matter how odd or out of character it may seem. At the end of the day, the person who wins at life is the person who leaves it all on the field. So stop holding back from life because your interests don't conform to your label. 3. Stick to One Pursuit at a Time Although it's important that you have a wide variety of interests and hobbies to pursue, it's even more important that you understand how to successfully pursue each interest. How do you do this? ... One at a time. Although Jeff has a wide variety of achievements and accolades ranging from the transportation business to the music & film industry to consulting and keynote speaking, he didn't try to accomplish all of these things at once. He devoted himself single-mindedly to each task for a period of 3-5 years. In your own life, you can do anything that you want. But you must learn to focus on only one thing at a time... As the old adage goes, "The fox who chases two rabbits catches none." Pick one passion, define what constitutes "success" with regards to that passion, pursue it single-mindedly until you achieve your goal an then move on. 4. Eradicate Your Fear of Failure with This Simple Exercise If you are afraid of failure, then listen up. I'm about to share a fool proof strategy to eradicate your fear and move forward with your life. Are you ready? Then here it is... Anytime you are afraid of failing, dive into your failure. Ask yourself "What will happen if I fail and how can I recover?" For example, if you are considering starting a new business and you fail miserably, what will actually happen? ... And more importantly, how can you minimize the damage? If you fail at the entrepreneurial endeavor you can: Move back in with your parents Get a 9-5 corporate job for 6-12 months Save every penny that you can Try again When you break it down, it doesn't seem so scary, right? The concept of failure is often more terrifying than failure itself. When you look at the reality of your situation, you will quickly realize that you can overcome any setback with relative ease and quickly get back on your feet if things go South. So feel the fear. Figure out your escape plan. And then take action. 5. Begin with the End in Mind One of the biggest mistakes that most entrepreneurs make is that they begin without a clear end goal in mind. They set all of these wild goals and ambitions but never really know where the path is ultimately going to take them. Before you set out to achieve anything, you need to begin with the end in mind. What counts as success? What counts as failure? What quantifiable metrics can you use to determine whether or not you've achieved success? When you have a clear end game in mind, the day to day tasks of pursuing a goal becomes much simpler. You know exactly what you need to do, what you need to avoid, and how you can expedite the path to your goal. Take some time to sit down after listening to this interview and write out answers to the following: What does success look like in my: Relationships Finances Career Personal development Physical health Spirituality When you know exactly what you are trying to get out of life, life has a way of helping you succeed. Begin with the end in mind and your path to success will be far smoother and simpler. 6. Make People Understand Your "Why" Oftentimes, as men, we get so caught up in our careers and finances that we can neglect important relationships and connections in our life. One of the reasons that this is so easy to do is that we understand the bigger picture and just assume that everyone else in our life understands it as well. We think to ourselves, "I'm working this hard for my family, for my community, and for our future... Surely they understand". But we never actually take the time to sit the important people down and help them understand why we are pushing so hard. Your wife and kids probably don't know why you are always at the office. They assume that work is more important than they are and that you'd rather work than spend time with them. Even when this isn't the case... As such, it's important that you sell your proverbial "Board of Directors" (the important people in your life) on the "Why" of what you're doing. Why are you working so hard to build this business or advance your career? Is it to... Retire early Pay for your kid's college Take your wife on a 3 year round the world trip Get out of debt and have the money to work less than 10 hours a week Enjoy a better quality of life Give back to your community and make a real difference Why are you doing what you're doing? Once you have the answer for yourself, share it with the important people in your life. More often than not, they will understand and rally to help you. 7. Ideas are Welcomed, Execution is Worshiped Simply put, ideas are great but execution is where the magic happens. You can think and come up with ideas all day long. But if you don't get your butt out of the chair and make moves to achieve your goals, you will remain stuck exactly where you are. Execution is everything. Without the grit and determination to take action and make things happen, you will never succeed. Become a master action taker and the world is yours. 8. Your Success is Someone Else's Miracle We live in such a guilt ridden society that it can be easy to get trapped in the mindset that success is dirty. ... It's easy to believe that making money is wrong and that you should give away all of your surplus. But this is a false concept. The more successful you are, the more power and influence you can exert to help others. When you have millions of dollars in the bank, it's much easier to make a difference when disaster strikes. When you have vibrant physical health, it's much easier to help others overcome their own challenges. When you are successful, you can show up as a miracle in someone else's life. If you want to make a real difference in the world, then success is your duty and obligation. Forget what you've been told... Becoming successful doesn't make you greedy or power hungry. It gives you the ability to make a difference. 9. What is Enough? In pursuit of any goal, whether its... Financial success Career success Marriage Physical health Travel & Adventure Or fame You must know when enough is enough. When can you call it quits and move on to the next goal or activity? If you don't have a clear end game in mind, it's easy to get caught in the comparison trap and waste your life constantly trying to compete with other people and buy the biggest boat, fastest car, or most luxurious mansion in town. Ask yourself... "What do I really need to be happy and feel fulfilled?" There's no right answer for everyone, but the more clearly you can figure out what you need to be happy, the easier it will be to achieve it. Forget keeping up with the Joneses and showing off on Instagram . Figure out what brings you joy and makes you feel fulfilled and then go achieve it.

Jeff Hoffman is a successful entrepreneur, proven CEO, worldwide motivational speaker, published author, Hollywood film producer, and even the producer of a Grammy-winning jazz album. He has been part of a number of well-known companies and billion-dollar startups, including Priceline.com. uBid.com, ColorJar, and more. Jeff now spends most of his time mentoring entrepreneurs, and in this episode he shares valuable tools that the most ambitious and hard-working individuals in Gen Z (that’s you!) can use to design their own future through entrepreneurialism. Driven by Desire Jeff isn’t driven by some innate entrepreneurial trait – his entrepreneurialism stems from wanting something he doesn’t have, which no one will give to him. So it isn’t about simply being born an entrepreneur, but instead having a goal that requires a lot of work hard to achieve. For example, Jeff started his first company on the second day of college. He went to a school that he couldn’t afford (Yale), but he wanted that degree and there was no other way to get it. His only options were giving up (which wasn’t really an option) or buckling down and making some money, because no one else was going to give it to him. Over the years, Jeff has noticed that this is a trend: the most successful entrepreneurs are driven by a goal greater than their income. Failure is Part of the Process If you never fail, you’re just not pushing hard enough; people that push the edge trip and fall. You shouldn’t necessarily celebrate failure, but you should accept it, shake it off, and keep going. Networking is Necessary You won’t get far in any industry if you don’t have connections, and that means you have to go meet people. You won’t meet people sitting in your dorm, at home, or at your desk. Just showing up isn’t enough – you have to be engaged and listen, and not just at networking events. You should build your network all the time, everywhere you are. You will probably have to get out of your comfort zone, but that’s okay – if you’re driven by a goal greater than yourself, you’ll put in the work. At Launch: Focus on a Short-Term Plan, Create Long-Term Architecture Startup founders generally need to focus on the first two years before they concern themselves with years three, four, and five. If they don’t perform well in those first two years, they won’t have a third. However, founders also need to lay down a solid foundation for growth. Think about scale, and make sure the architecture you put in place will allow it… but don’t worry about implementing it until you have a small business.
