Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. Okay, guys, so today we're gonna be talking about redefining limits and innovating beyond traditional business boundaries. So for all my business owners, this is for you. In a rapid, involving world, the ability to think outside the box and push past conventional limits is what sets great entrepreneurs apart. So, guys, I'm going to share with you exactly how you can embrace innovation and transform your business. Redefining limits starts with a mindset shift.

It's about seeing the opportunities where others see obstacles and believing that there's always a better way. My mindset always drives into innovation and encourages my employees to explore uncharted territories, guys. I like to embrace a growth mindset that welcomes challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. So innovation often comes with questioning the status quo. Don't be afraid to ask why or what if. If you challenge existing processes and look for ways to improve them, this curiosity and willingness to experience as the bedrock of innovative thinking. Look, encourage your team to bring fresh ideas to the table and create a culture where innovation is celebrated. I do this all the time, guys.

With my first company, I had one of my very first employees tell me exact feedback on what we need to do as far as changing sales scripts, as far as marketing, what they're actually talking about with current prospects that are looking to engage with our processes, that are looking to engage with our programs, that are looking to buy our items or our services. So having their feedback and input is humongous to the success of your business because at the end of the day, your employees are the ones in the trenches. You are working outside of the business on the vision on how to create it and make it scale faster. So leveraging technology is a powerful way to innovate beyond traditional business boundaries. Look, I like to stay updated with the latest technology investments, whether it's AI, whether it is going ahead and using chat box to engage with prospects and direct messages on social media platforms.

And I like to explore how they can be integrated into my businesses, whether it's through automation, data analytics, or even digital marketing, guys. Technology can open new avenues for growth and efficiency. One thing that I also learned, collaborating is another key to breaking limits. Partnering with other businesses, even those outside your industry, to combine strengths and create unique solutions for your prospects and future customers.

Cross-industry collaborations can lead to groundbreaking innovations that wouldn't be possible without the confines of a single field networking building relationships with diverse professionals can spark creative ideas and opportunities guys all business owners are completely different they come from different backgrounds so to get a perspective from someone else who's successful in the way that they do it i always say there's always multiple ways to skin a cat right that old saying because there, because there's not one way to win. There's multiple ways to win. And you're not going to know unless you network and you collab with other either business owners or consultants. And look, guys, don't forget the power of your customers. Engage with them,

listen to their feedback and involve them in the innovation process. Their insights can provide valuable perspectives and help you tailor your products or services to actually meeting what the evolving industry needs. So with that being said, your customers are going to ensure that your business stays relevant and competitive. I've even gone to as far as to hire customers to become my client success managers, because here's the thing, here's the way I see it. There's such a big gap, right? And we're trying to bridge the gap where the prospects coming in to use your services and they're trying to relate to you. But let's say you're at the level where you're highly successful. You're making eight figures a year. Someone who's

making only five, six figures a year is going to have a hard time trying to build foundation with you who are you you're the face of the company so if you connect them with a recent client who joined your program a few months ago has a high rate of success with your program they are more likely to build foundation with them than with you and in return you're able to convert more prospects by doing this. I highly recommend that every single one of you guys do this. If you guys are going ahead and you have a business where people are using your services, your items, go ahead and hire them as brand ambassadors. You could do 1099 or whatever it is that you like,

and you guys can hire them part-time or for every prospect that they actually talk to, depending if you're selling a high-ticket item or not. But this has been very critical to my business in 2024, because at the end of the day, the way I see it and the way marketing is going, a lot of people are buying you. They're buying the culture. They're buying exactly what your business is about. So don't forget that, guys. So redefining the limits and innovating beyond business boundaries requires a proactive mindset for you to be curious about actually leveling up and then technology leverage, collaboration, and then all that good stuff, guys, even customer engagement. But by embracing these

principles, you can transform your business and achieve ultimate success. And I'm talking about 10x in your success, guys. So let's go out there and get it right. So guys, thank you for tuning in to the level of podcast. My name is Paul Alex, encouraging you to think big to challenge the norm and innovate fearlessly guys, the future belongs to those who redefine their limits. Okay, so until next time, keep pushing the boundaries. And as always, let's level up. Remember, I always have your six.
