#099: 7 Business Lessons from a Hip Hop Dance Competition [Podcast]

What this episode covers

Session Summary: * Step to Success: A step to your success is anything that moves your life and your business forward. Whether it’s an app, a book or an idea, you can apply something today that will help you succeed. Today’s step is taking advantage of on boarding experiences offered by companies that you use. I recently had a great experience with Convertkit. * Dancer’s Dialect: The Dancer’s Dialect is the dancer’s language. I share dance concepts and terminology across different genres so you can see the correlations in your life and in your business. Today’s word is a step called jitting, something I came across looking for info on House dance, based on an awesome class I took from the super Jackie Lopez at Evolution Dance Studios in North Hollywood. Check out this video: * Freestyle Flow: Tests are not the final authority on your intelligence but they are helpful in assessing how you would best handle situations and amplifying your skill set. * Feature Presentation: Competition can be the catalyst for creativity, community and camaraderie. A recent hip hop dance competition had these elements and reminded me of the following important business and life lessons: * Have a mission statement. If you’re choreographing, what is the message of your cipro drug online piece? One of my favorite dance teams in the competition, Blank Canvas, has a mission statement as follows: “Our bodies are the brushes, the music is our paint, the dance floor is our canvas, and the light is our faith.” * Be purposeful with your content. * You’re only as strong as your weakest link. Do what is necessary to make sure that all your team members embody outstanding work ethics and attitudes. * Find out what your audience wants and deliver it to them. What does your business audience want? Find out and create it for them whether it’s a course, audio, workshop, etc. * Find the areas where you can simplify and clean up. * Watch your words. Communication is everything. * Create and cultivate camaraderie. * Bonus business lesson: Pay attention to how you start and how you end.
