A Conversation With “Contrepreneur” Mike Winnet

Mike Winnet is THE self-appointed, uninspirational, backwards thinking "leader" currently influencing thousands of, below average, people on LinkedIn and YouTube. Through his “Contrepreneur” series, Mike has amassed over 25,000 subscribers on YouTube, and has led others to success, by successfully investing in himself. Mike joins the show this week to talk about the formula that’s led him to success, the experiences he’s gained along the way, and how they can actively benefit you. KEY TAKEAWAYS To Mike, investing in yourself means the ability to think critically. It means not believing what you’ve been taught about what you can achieve. It’s about discovering yourself and working on your strengths by using your time in the right ways. Mike’s experience has come through practical means. He advises this route as the fastest and most efficient ways to learn. Sales techniques are important. You shouldn't have to get everyone’s blood pumping, and send them to the back of the room to sign up for your product with no cooling-off period. If you are, then your product can’t be that great. The great mentors aren’t the ones spoon-feeding you content that’s already on the internet, or out there in some other form. Often, the best advice is already out there for £12 on the Kindle store. If you aren’t seeking it out first, then the blame is on you for overspending on advice. Conventional entertainment will expire one day. YouTube will become the new television. People like short, sharp input, and an endless content library to choose from. The issue with YouTube and other platforms is that you are always at the mercy of their systems and regulations. Owning your platform and brand is always the best way. BEST MOMENTS ‘I learned more from that environment that I could ever have learned in business school’ ‘People are sometimes too eager to become an entrepreneur without doing the ground work’ ‘You need to earn it’ ‘If I was a bad guy I would put that on my profile’ ’TV will die one day’ VALUABLE RESOURCES   Invest In You Podcast Mike Winnet YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UComkllJTMHNZr4UNxCThdcw Mike Winnet LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/demotivatemeuk/ ABOUT THE HOST   Serial entrepreneur Fredrik Sandvall loves sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.
