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. As an entrepreneur, I often faced a lot of uncertainty, setbacks, and challenges that, to be honest, I did not know how to solve. But I adopted a mentality early on in my mid-20s that winning is the only option. And winning is the only option, which isn't about dismissing the possibility of failure. It's about focusing, being relentless on success, no matter the obstacle, guys. And I know every single one of you listening to this right now has been through obstacles, has been through trials, has been through roadblocks in life. You're trying to figure out in your life right now how to win.

And I'm here to tell you how to win. This mindset starts with setting clear, ambitious goals. Look, when I first started entrepreneurship back when I was in law enforcement as a beginner, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the scale of your dreams. Especially when you got, I mean, I usually don't cuss, but when you got motherfuckers hating on you, you got people just fucking talking shit behind your back. Some of your good friends want you to do good, but they don't want you to do better than them. And at the end of the day,

I'm going to be honest. I felt like shit. But look, you got to remember this. Every big achievement starts with small, decisive actions. Key word, guys, you got to be decisive. Winning means committing fully to those actions with a clear vision of where you want to go. You got to have clear vision and execute every single time. Now, let's talk about the strategy that's worked for me. Winning isn't just about hard work. All right. Everybody can work hard. It's about working smart. This means you got prioritize your task, leverage resources, hire employees, and always staying a step ahead in your planning. You got to be a planner, guys. This is what's helped me in life, get organized, and also helped me manage three multi-million dollar businesses.

Think of it as playing chess. Each move is calculated. Aiming not just to react to the market, but to shape it. I had the same strategy when I was in law enforcement. I was more proactive than reactive. But here's a crucial point. Winning is also about resilience. Because just like I did, you're going to face a lot of setbacks. You might miss some targets. You might miss some quotas. You might encounter some financialbacks. You might miss some targets. You might miss some quotas. You might encounter some financial hurdles. You might get broke. I mean, it's entrepreneurship, guys. There's a risk to it. But with winning is the only option mindset. Each setback is a set

up for a comeback. It's not about avoiding failure It's about using it as fuel And if you remember On my last podcast I talk about using pain as fuel So look You got to be able to adapt In 2024 and beyond

The world of business is fast ppaced guys with everything that's going on ai digital marketing you're probably going to get stuck with shiny object syndrome you're going to be like what should i do should i do digital atm should i do credit card machines should i do digital marketing should i do uh forex? Should I do consulting? I don't know how to win. You got to stay focused. Winning entrepreneurs are those who can pivot quickly. Learning from what the market tells them and adjusting their strategies accordingly.

It's not about being agile, guys. Learning fast and implementing even faster is key. Let's also talk about the importance of perseverance. Winning might be the only option, but it's rarely an immediate outcome. It requires persistence, the kind that pushes you to keep going when things get tough. Remember, the greater obstacle, the sweeter the victory. And lastly, guys, I'm gonna leave you with this. As you embark on your entrepreneurship journey, cultivate a support network, your best friends that have the same mindset as you. Find a community. I always say this on every single podcast. Find a community, self-educate yourself, find a mentor that you can relate to. Surround yourself with multiple mentors, advisors, and peers who share your mindset.

They will be your sounding board, your cheerleaders, and sometimes your reality check. Keep learning. Invest in your personal and professional growth. Attend workshops. Listen to podcasts just like this. Read books. I know it sounds cliche, but never start expanding your knowledge. And the more you know, the better equipped you're going to be to win. So look, I want you to remember this, that while winning is the goal, the path there is defined by your daily choices and actions. So you got to embrace the journey, embrace challenges, learn from your mistakes and keep pushing forward. Because in entrepreneurship, when you choose to see winning as the only option, you open the door to unlimited possibilities. I'll see you at the top.
