Take the Risk! with Frank Mengert

About Frank: Every day, I wake up inspired to be a better version of myself. I do this by using three principles: 🅻🅴🅰🆁🅽, 🅲🆁🅴🅰🆃🅴 & 🆂🅷🅰🆁🅴 ❶ 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 something new. ❷ 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 something that didn't exist. ❸ 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 something with someone. In May of 2018, I had the opportunity to meet Gary Vaynerchuk. Among the many pieces of advice he gave me one that impacted me the most was this: “𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙤 𝙤𝙣 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙚𝙙𝙄𝙣, 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮.” I didn’t take that advice until November but he was right. LinkedIn has changed my life. ➨ 𝐌𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘: In 2003 I went into work, just like any other day. However this day, I was laid off. It devastated me and threw my “game plan” for life in a spiral. I made the decision to take my side-hustle at the time and turn it into my main hustle building my first company. Today, I am on my fourth company, ebm, which is one of the largest employee benefits technology platform providers in the nation. We help benefit consultants, carriers and enrollment firms attract, win & retain business acting as an extension of their team providing expert technology services to organizations nationwide.
