From 8 Figures To 8 Dollars Per Hour With Marques Odgen | 734

Marques Ogden is a hard cover. Period.I titled this podcast for a reason...the more I get to know this fine man, the more I learn the depth of his knowledge and character. Yes, Marques went to Howard University - he's clearly educated. Yes, Marques played professional football - he's clearly driven and talented. However, his real depth surfaces after this...Most people will be attracted to Marques' story, it's the stuff movies are made of. He was on top of the world, then he was cleaning bathrooms. His book, the Success Cycle, describes this story. Read it, learn how he persevered and the lessons he offers in helping others meet their goals.We spend much of our time digging into winning cultures, leadership and the mistakes that cost him his business. Marques is blunt in describing his mistakes. Refreshingly so. He's told the story 100's of times.What will surprise our listeners is the depth of knowledge Marques brings to his clients around sales, organizational and operational effectiveness, scaling businesses and shaping culture. Frankly, I was blown away at his conviction and his ability to support his advice with concrete examples.Marques' Eating Crow Moments:When a key executive walks out the door - Marques gets a wake up call, but he had clearly not heard it ringing.Realizing he had more to offer this world. THE pivotal moment in his personal and professional life when he made the decision to become a public speaker, but it's evolved into so much more. I'm already picking Will Smith to play him in the movie.Key Takeaways for Leaders and Entrepreneurs:Great organizations have a clearly established vision.Leaders emulate this vision - every day.Leaders then surround themselves with people who own aspects of this vision and compliment the leader's weaknesses.Vet your people. Spend time making sure they are aligned, professionally, personally and ethically.Start small, build and adapt as you grow. Sometimes the people that helped you initially are not the same people you need today.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/eating-crow.
