3 KEY POINTS:

1. Help others before asking for help.

2. Focus on the 5% you are good at.

3. At first it can be good to do it all by yourself so you learn how everything works, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t network or find a mentor.

MORE ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

In this episode we talk with Khaled Elmasri, the founder of the Nor-Cal Fitness Summit, about the importance of building relationships and being willing when you first start out to do everything yourself.Khaled tells us about the importance of focusing on your avatar, on who you want to help, when building your business. 

Khaled reminds us that it is important to always reach out and offer to help others when building relationships before asking for anything in return. Too often people try to connect by asking for something instead of trying to offer value. And don’t be afraid to reach out for help and find a mentor. Often ego gets involved and we don’t reach out and learn when we should to avoid costly mistakes!
