The Big Idea, Donny Deutsch - CNBC

I started watching this tv show and thought I would share my notes.

Ivanka Trump: Get The Upper Hand
Know when your strategy doesn’t work and let someone else do it.
Use perceived weakness to your advantage
Negotiation goes on before people open their mouths – First Impressions
How you dress, posture, hygiene
Pay attention to details
Sometimes you need to make people feel uncomfortable

Ryan Blair: They Said I’d Never Make It
Having a mentor is vital
If you lose it all, your still the same person
How can I contribute more today?
Self assessment – Know your weakness and surround yourseld with people who will help in those areas
Be a student everyday
Don’t listen to advise unless the people giving it are qualified – People who have done it, lived it then listen keenly

Leslie Mayer: Millionaire Secrets
Live from the inside out – Know what your good at and build your company around that.
Focus on the promise, not the prize – What are you giving your customers?
Know when to get out of the way.
Build a culture that supports your story.
Stay current – Keep learning.
