Skills to Stack and Principles to Adopt | Mark S.A. Smith

Today I talk to Mark Smith, a fantastic world renowned speaker as well as a business leader who’s run a number of different companies from the bottom to the top and it has been a pleasure to have him as my guest on the podcast. Mark is a formulative speaker. He identifies things as groups so they’re easier to remember, and things like his 4 V’s, which we’re going to highlight in this episode. If you find a unique quote or something interesting that stands out on this podcast, please feel free to give us a rating or review that allows us to see what you like so we can formulate content to reflect more what you like. Say no to anything that will steer you away from your vision, ask yourself how you are making sure you’re adding value, how fast you should be growing and in what direction, and then figure out what the hard tasks are that you need to do today.

“What that tells me is that early on you understood the concept of priorities. Priorities in the order in which you accomplish your outcomes, and there are priorities that are critical to an organization and as an entrepreneur, you have to understand your priorities.” 5:18
