Welcome to The Revenue Generator

Hey there, it’s Harris!

Welcome to the Revenue Generator where I (usually) share 1 tactic each week that you can implement to help you generate more revenue.

Today doesn’t have much to do with revenue. I spent some time reflecting (as I do every year on my birthday) on something things I believe about life and business.

I don’t have everything figured out (VERY VERY far from it) but just some things I’ve noticed that I believe to be true.

If something resonates, send me a message, would love to hear your thoughts.

Let’s get into it.

Today’s Topic - 34 Things I Believe to be True

1. Who you marry is the most important choice you make in your life
2. It’s so cliche but having kids is the hardest and most rewarding thing in your life
3. In business, provide value before you expect anything in return and good things will happen
4. Do things other people won’t and you’ll stick out in a really good way (most people don’t want to do hard things)
5. You learn more that’s applicable for the real world from sports than sitting in a classroom
6. Being likable is the most important skill to have success in business
7. The more people who know who you are and what you do, the more likely you are to get “lucky” when it comes to new sales opportunities
8. High ticket B2B sales will always be human no matter how much technology takes over
9. Watching your kids love the things you love is so so cool. Watching them love what they love is just as cool
10. Never met a parent with older kids who didn’t say the days are long but the years are so, so, so fast
11. Having grandparents who are helpful is one of the luckiest thing you can have as a parent
12. Nothing else matters besides health
13. Meeting clients and prospects in person has an outsized positive return on investment
14. Play the long game with clients and prospects
15. Don’t be pushy and don’t send 100,000 spammy sales messages
16. Most people aren’t intentional enough with referrals
17. Seeing another part of the world gives you more perspective and empathy than anything else
18. Most people are the exact same with their wants and their needs but the news loves to try to make people fight and divide us
19. The news is awful and it’s main purpose is to grab attention so they focus on the negatives
20. Nothing brings random strangers together quite like a sporting event
21. College is really expensive but most people learn more in those 4 years than the previous 18
22. Proximity plays a massive, massive role in who you communicate with on a consistent basis
23. 99% of people don’t take the time they need for themselves and it leads to burnout
24. Everybody thinks "AI can just do that" unless it’s in reference to their own work/company/role
25. My 3 year old son LOVING the moon (and the minor things) is one of the things I’ll miss most about this era
26. Nothing pushes you to grow up more than being a parent and starting your own company
27. I didn’t truly understand how hard being a stay at home parent was until I had kids. That is the hardest (and most thankless) job out there
28. I’d way rather my kids be caring and empathetic than smart or athletic
29. Emotional intelligence will be 100x more important in an increasingly AI world
30. Running a company is really, really hard and anybody who just talks about the money they make is not showing the full picture
31. Having a partner you can confide in when you are in a stressful job is way more important than is talked about
32. The job market really isn’t that hard right now if you’re willing to do what others won’t
33. Working with enjoyable clients is the best part of being an entrepreneur
34. I am incredibly lucky for everything that I have in my life. I have ups and downs like we all do but I have so much to be grateful for and I need to do a better job remembering that and enjoying the wins before I move onto the next goal
