18:56 Business is about standing out. You can't solve anyone's problem without them knowing about you.
19:53 Contact with solutions without knowing pain points is not communicating.
21:08 How do you handle that situation? David F Leopold

22:01 New people, if they are making an effort, give them the benefit of doubt

26:34 Systems: 80/20 Rule. Not everything that is you passion is not something that you're going to be passionate about. Delegate out.
27:35 The stuff that we hate to do is somebody else' passion.

I Help Entrepreneurs Break Rules
Introduction
Business Man, Activist, Foodie, Metalhead – not necessarily in that order and most of the time all at once.What Do I Mean By “Break Rules”?Breaking Rules means that you stop following the wealth of cookie cutter advice that peddled by so called “experts” and write your own rule book.Think about it, if you are following someone else’s rules, you are following them toward their dream, not towards your own. And if that wasn’t bad enough, you are following the same advice that everybody else is, which makes it pretty hard to stand out.Rule Breaking Mastery - Learn the Art Of Breaking RulesI teach entrepreneurs how to embrace the art of rule breaking through a three-tiered program.
1) Personal Consultations
I will work with you personally to develop a rule book specific to you and the needs
of your business. Through a series of personal, private one on one hangout sessions, I will guide you through three steps that will allow you to take control of your business and reach your goals.
2) I also have a DIY level...
This version sets you up with everything you need to create your own Rule Breaking Manifesto that you can follow at your own pace.
3) And for those who want to just pick my brain, I have something for you as well…
One hour consultation where you can pick my brain and get help on a wide range of topics that span my knowledge and wisdom that I've attained over my 20+ years as an entrepreneur.
To sign up and learn more information, head on over to Rule Breaking Mastery.
Rule Breaking Ideas
Every Thursday at 1PM MT, I host a show called Rule Breaking Ideas. If you want to get your feet wet into the world of rule breaking, come check it out. We always have a good time (I say we because sometimes I have a guest, but the community around the show is kick ass!).
About Me
I’m not going to bore you with a big long history of who I am, where I’ve been and what I’ve done. I think there are better ways for us to begin our relationship, so Iwant to invite you to Fika. No, it’s not something dirty (what kind of guy do you think I am?) - it’s a Swedish tradition where we have coffee and chat for a while. It's a great way for us to get to know each other. We do it via hangouts, so it's perfect.
You can learn a little more about me, and schedule your fika on my interact page.
Bragging rights
I played a firefighter and a good samaritan in a movie called "After The Shock" (I was also the technical adviser). My wife Kate and I wrote, directed, casted and filmed a short film called "Crossed" (http://crossed.phibble.com). Yeah, I know, I'm cool, but I'm humble :)
