​Knowledge to Take Action
Habits of Successful Entrepreneurs - Self Promotion
Inspired by Patrick Bet-David

• Be Audacious & Shameless and being willing to take the hits
• Self-Promotion is backed up real stuff - no BS
• "Fake It Until You Make It" is only a viable approach if you can back it up
• Use the power of story to present success. If you haven't read Joseph Campbell's "The Hero's Journey" do so, it is worth the time investment. If you think you're not a hero, think again.
• Build up other people. Don't make the story just about you, it is about the team you built and how it happened together.
• Make out of the box predictions based on good data and smart intuition.
• Don't name drop people you don't know. If you are going to use their names weave into a story about how you became a familiar with their work and how it helped you.
• Have strong opinions, just stay away from politics and religion. If are going to have distractors make it over the right reasons and the right people.
• Don't confuse bragging with confidence. The people who are very confident have nothing to prove to others and therefore don't come off as overbearing or arrogant.
