WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT
Myron Golden on Leverage, Sales, Identity, and Rebuilding After Loss
- Myron Golden describes growing up poor as one of seven brothers with strict, hardworking parents, and says polio taught him to observe and to see ordinary abilities as gifts.
- He says his rise from welfare and a trash truck to wealth rested on identity (his be-do-have formula), persistence through 18 months without a sale, and the belief that it is easier to make a lot of money quickly than a little slowly.
- Golden argues that leverage (his bike, car, plane and jet analogy) lets people make up for limited ability, and that selling means revealing value and conveying conviction rather than convincing or needing a yes.
- He recounts losing a son in 2007 and then a run of financial setbacks including the recession, an IRS audit and a short-sale home, saying he lived on borrowed money before rebuilding.
- He credits his comeback to King Solomon's business model, selling to wealthier clients with bigger problems, and to the support of his wife, children and a friend who loaned him money, and he frames fatherhood as representing God to one's family.
IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING
5 ideasIdentity drives activity, which drives results
Golden says his be-do-have formula means you get your activity from your identity, not the reverse. He told himself he wasn't a trash man, just someone driving a trash truck.
Work that isn't working for you is working on you
Golden says the 18 months without a sale were developing him into someone who could sell. He argues people quit because they want results without letting the work change them.
Leverage matters more than effort
Using a race from running to bicycle, car, plane and jet, Golden argues you can make up in leverage what you lack in ability. He advises finding leverage instead of trying harder at what isn't working.
Selling is revealing value, not convincing
Golden defines selling as uncovering the value of an offer so well that people gladly buy, and says energy shows your true motive. He says he doesn't need any particular person to say yes, because the law of averages means someone will.
Serve people with bigger problems and more money
After realizing he had been selling to the wrong people, Golden says he moved to wealthier clients who need his solution and charged them more. He cites King Solomon's model of targeting high-value clients and solving big problems.
WORDS WORTH SAVING
5 quotesThe work that the work does on you is way more valuable to your life than the work that the work does for you.
— Myron Golden
I can always make up in leverage what I lack in ability, and too many people are more in tune with their limitations of ability than they are with the potential of the leverage if they'd accessed it.
— Myron Golden
Nobody la- In America, almost nobody, I won't say nobody, but most people don't lack access to abundance. They lack awareness of the access they have to abundance.
— Myron Golden
You can lie with your words, but your energy always tells the truth.
— Myron Golden
Don't let it make you a helpless victim. Let it make you a prepared warrior.
