190: Andre Filip’s Advice for Entrepreneurs: No Distractions, Focus Your Mind, Have a Vision

Kicking off the show, Alan recounts a discussion he had with a billionaire once? His main take away? To be an entrepreneur, you first need a problem to solve. Joining us, CEO & Founder of ELA Advertising, Andre Filip, gives us sage advice for taking our businesses to the next level. First, free yourself of distractions, as it is the true killer of momentum. Second, learn to tune out the trivial matters of the world, like opinions of people on social media; it’s one thing to be informed, it’s another to be inundated. Third, trust your employees to handle operations while you focus on expansion and growth. Fourth, learn to give your brain a break (other than sleep), be that through meditation, exercise, or whatever works for you. Closing out the show, Andre gives us three life principles to live by, so tune in for some great advice.    [00:00:00] To Be an Entrepreneur You Need a Problem [00:05:22] Distraction: The Real Business Killer [00:11:30] Tune Out of Trivial Matters and Focus [00:18:21] Trust Employees to Handle Operations [00:27:02] Important to Give Your Brain a Break [00:33:21] Three Life Principles from Andre Filip
