    Debunking Leadership Myths

    Leadership isn’t all about grandstanding or showing off to prove how charismatic you are. In fact, Roy Osing says, you want to be almost boring, in the sense that you want to make the lives of your employees easier. The “charismatic leader” is just one of the myths that Roy debunks. He’s spent 40 years in executive leadership, including as President and CMO of a telecommunications company, which he took from start-up to $1 billion in annual sales. — Business Essentials Daily Podcast

    The BILLION Dollar Dude

    “What’s the ONLY thing you need to know about my guest this episode? Roy Osing is the ONLY author, entrepreneur, and executive leader who delivers practical and proven ‘audacious and unheard-of ways’ to produce high-performing businesses and successful careers. His focus is on helping build what he calls “The ONLY Statement”, identifying what makes each individual or business stand out above everyone else. The key here is that if you claim to be The Only one doing something, you’ve basically owned that field. His brand Be Different or be dead focuses on differentiation. Roy notes that you have to learn to satisfy clothes in a way that matters to them. Figure out what you need to do ‘in a superlative way.’In terms of the norm, common, average, or herd-mentality way, you can either comply with or confront that flow. It’s exceptionally important for business leaders and, truly any of us as individuals, to find that natural expression of self. While he doesn’t call it this, what his approach gets back to is First Principles: that is, if we look at the current situation and start over with our thinking, not knowing what we know about what society expects of us, how would we approach this for the best possible outcome? How can we do this (whatever “this” is) differently? As you look at being different, it’s important to recognize you can niche way down and still have a great business. Roy invites you, the listener, to decide who you’re going to serve (aka, the Target Market). And again, building a bridge from the business world to your home life, that could be a family member (partner, parent, child, etc.). Then determine what they CRAVE, not what they need. You can, of course, take care of the basic needs. And once done, ‘you’ve earned the right to dazzle. THE ONLY Statement and Strategic Game Planning Process is done relatively quickly: ▪️How big do you want to be in 24-months (24 thirty-day periods)? ▪️Where do you make your money? That is, who will you serve and what do they crave? Remember, you need to stop thinking about the product or service you offer and focus on what your market needs and craves. ▪️Create The Only statement to compete and win in your customer groups. — Dr Wayne Pernell, Host, One Sharp Sword Podcast

    Ask ‘The Magic Question’ And Win!

    Why ‘The Magic Question’ is Critical To Having a Successful CareerMany people assume that what they did to succeed in the past will serve them well as they meet new challenges going forward. This is an extremely risky position to take as it presumes that past conditions for success will be repeated as new challenges are encountered. This rarely if ever happens. There are always new dynamics that must be successfully conquered if one is to continue on the winning track. In this episode, Roy discusses why it’s critical for individuals to ask themselves ‘The Magic Question’—“What do I have to do differently?”—whenever they face any new challenge, be it a new project, a career change or new job opportunity.

    What is The Most Enormous Mistake in Marketing?

    “If you can’t differentiate yourself from others, you ain’t gonna stand out. So how do you do that? Well, it’s NOT by claiming you’re number one in the market. Nope, that just won’t cut it anymore, says Roy Osing, a former president who took an internet startup to $1 billion in sales. Instead, he says, you have to be the ONLY one in your market that does what you do. Also, you need to focus on cravings-based marketing rather than needs-based marketing and to target specific customer groups. Plus, Roy highlights the importance of customer retention and creating barriers to customer exit. He suggests that marketing should be a strategic resource and focus on delivering value and building customer loyalty. He offers the idea of a revolutionary marketing plan that differentiates yourself from competitors.”— Chris Ashmore, Host, Master Your Market Podcast
