One Shift Entrepreneurs Can Make to Massively Improve Their Results

I coach a lot of entrepreneurs and speakers. And one thing I noticed is: They tend to be doing too many things that don’t really have an impact on their business and revenue.

Let me break it down like this.

I’ve believed and said for years, everything works. Putting business cards on windshields works…it just doesn’t work very well. So once you understand that everything works, then it all gets down to what works the BEST and learning to focus on ONLY those handful of things.

After my Inner Circle event in So Cal this past weekend, I met with one of my members. He shared multiple joint venture projects he had going. Most were not related to his core business and were unlikely to move the needle in any meaningful way (in my opinion).

Then he said he didn’t have time for some of the most basic marketing things I teach. These things are related to systems and building an audience that I teach in The Strategic Wheel.

The few things that I know from experience will grow his business he lacked time for and the things that most likely wouldn’t move the needle and were unpredictable, seemed easier and more desirable.

My biggest concern was my understanding of how important a person’s choices with their time, energy, and focus are. The decisions that you make along the way, all those things that you say YES to are also a NO for something else.

Part of achieving success is figuring out the highest possible outcome for the allocation of your resources.

Here’s an analogy. It comes from a conversation I had with long-time friend Darren Hardy on my podcast about the lion and the mouse.

A mouse can walk in front of a lion, and the lion will disregard it, even though it could kill the mouse and it would be nutrition. But, if a lion, one of the greatest killing machines nature has invented, went around chasing and killing mice all day, it would eventually die of malnutrition. A lion can only sustain its life and its pride’s life on antelope—big game. It takes a tremendous amount more energy and effort to capture and kill an antelope than it does a mouse. But when captured, an antelope can feed the lion and its pride for a week.

It’s the same thing in our lives. There are a lot of mice opportunities around us all the time. And even if a mouse opportunity provides a little bit of nutrition, a little bit of revenue, a little bit of reward, you will die of malnutrition over time. These are the trivial tasks and opportunities people pursue. Be the lion and only go after antelope, big game, big outcomes, big opportunities, things of high value. As Jim Rohn would say, “Don’t major in the minors.”

Marketing is about tactics and principles, and principles will win every time. Yet many entrepreneurs are drowning in tactics that aren’t moving the needle.

If this is you, what can be done? Get back to the core things that are working in your business.

Here’s a four-step exercise to do just that:

1. List five things you are currently doing that creates the biggest positive results in your current business model.

2. List 3-5 things that if you did them, could create equal or even bigger results.

3. List anything you do now that is taking your time, energy, and focus away from any of the needle-movers you listed in #1 and #2.

4. Prioritize your focus and efforts on the 3-5 things that are working best and/or you should be doing. Also ask are the activities under #1 and #2 part of your core business (one offs are often distractions), strategic (will knock the dominoes down), focused on your main customer avatar, includes your secret sauce, and is taking you closer to you long term goals. If not, refine down to the ones that check the most important boxes for you.

When you think strategically about all your efforts it will move you to a more long-term and sustainable success.

3. Coaching and Consulting

In addition to building my own 8-figure business, I’ve coached Darren Hardy, Robin Sharma, Dr. Tom Burns, and many others helping them build 7- and 8-figure businesses.

As Darren Hardy said, “Every marketing dilemma I have ever had, Kyle has given me the brilliant and elegant solution on the spot. Kyle’s consulting has saved and earned me hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.”

“Kyle Wilson is the man! When I made the decision to transition from my 15 year MLB career to being a speaker, best-selling author, and business consultant I researched and then sought out the man who has been behind such iconic speakers as Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, and many others. Hiring Kyle as my coach has been one of the smartest decisions I’ve made.“ Todd Stottlemyre, 15 Year MLB Player, Entrepreneur and Speaker

“I have been an entrepreneur for over twenty years and was not sure if I needed a coach. I engaged Kyle, based on recommendations from people I respected (Ken McElroy), and before our first meeting ended, I wished I had hired him twenty years ago. His experience and his insight are priceless. He could have saved me a lot of heartache! Kyle has an uncanny ability to know exactly what you need for your situation. He is also a first-class connector and strategist. It is easy to see why he was an integral part of the success of such luminaries as Jim Rohn and Brian Tracy.” Dr. Tom Burns, Author of Why Doctors Don’t Get Rich

“Kyle Wilson is a masterful marketer and there is a good reason why top investors, entertainers, sports figures, leaders in personal development and entrepreneurs call on him as a coach, mentor, business partner and friend. Kyle knows what works in business and most importantly relationships and always over delivers. As an Inner Circle Mastermind member for over 2 years, it’s been the very best thing I could have done to level up my circle of influence, surround myself with success and have the platform to launch a best-selling book, be invited to speak, partner, invest and take my brand to the next level. I highly recommend you invest whatever is necessary to be a member of the Inner Circle or hire Kyle as your coach.

"When I met Kyle Wilson I had been speaking professionally for 12 years and my biggest ‘achievement’ was $60,000 in debt to the IRS, a truck I prayed every day would start, and a simple 6 CD memory training set. Kyle coached me to market that CD set and in less than 12 months my IRS debt was gone and I was speaking in Australia, Bangkok, Belgium, Singapore, Malaysia and all over the USA with the biggest names in the speaking business. It was almost magical how Kyle took my business from giving speeches in the back room of an IHOP restaurant to audiences as large as 8,000 in what seemed like overnight. I can honestly say that Kyle Wilson was not a major factor in turning my business around. Kyle Wilson was THE factor. I can’t strongly recommend his wisdom, knowledge, business mind or who he is as a person enough."

"Is there anyone in the world who is better at grooming and managing a speaker than Kyle Wilson? Absolutely not! Kyle was the man behind Jim Rohn. Kyle, while managing my speaking career, took me to 60 speaking engagements a year while increasing my fee, and helped me publish numerous books that sold nearly a million copies, produce two best-selling audio programs, taught me how to sell product from the back of a room (with a number of $50,000 days and one $110,000 day) and got me my own television show and a co-host with Zig Ziglar on his television show, True Performance. There is not a single person alive who not only knows but has mastered the speaking business from beginning to end like Kyle Wilson. Take my highest recommendation and multiply it by ten and you have what I think about Kyle. What? You haven’t picked up the phone yet to get on board with him? Get going!!"
