Click Here to Get All Podcast Show Notes!When someone says they have the best advice for you, you pay attention, right? You want to know what that is. So many people give this sage advice, “If I can do it, you can do it too.” Be cautious when you hear this because this is not entirely true. I’m not saying you can’t do it.

So who’s in your corner? In today’s episode, you get a snapshot of Sharran’s support system. Get to know the people in Sharran’s corner and how they set him up to win.

Also known as the 'law of instrument' or Maslow's Hammer, this phrase describes a person's reliance on a particular tool, method, or mindset, which may prevent him from seeing things clearly. In this episode, Sharran talks about the practical application of this quote and presents the idea that sometimes one hammer is not enough. So if you've been trying to solve a problem and you're not getting anywhere, think again. Maybe you need three hammers.  "Just because it's a hammer doesn't mean you can use the same hammer for everything. Sometimes you need 3 hammers.”- Sharran SrivatsaaTimestamps:00:00 This episode is about the three hammers03:01 Discover why it's not always enough to have just one “hammer.” 03:30 This Fortune 100 company realized that the solution to their problem is simply adding one more “hammer.” 04:04 Sharran explains how using the right tool for the right project impacts his team's efficiency.Resources:-Grab Sharran’s 4-Week MBA for Free  Connect with Sharran:-Facebook -Instagram -Twitter -LinkedIn -YouTube

The concept of investing directly in a company is not as commonly done compared to simply buying stocks. Finding private investment opportunities to make money is a great way to unlock additional income. There is more risk involved, but the opportunities allow you to gain above-market returns and influence the business direction. Investing in a company can be a fantastic way to build wealth. But before you do that, make sure you have a concrete process. Professional investors need playbooks to replicate their success and learn from their mistakes. If you don't already have your own process, here is Sharrans’s 4-step process for investing in a company. It's pretty simple, but it works! Enhance your investing skills by listening to related episodes below: Episode 59: The 2 Investing Models Every Serious Investor Must KnowEpisode 61: How to Pitch Your VC and Investor FriendsEpisode 62: Price & Terms – Your Unfair Negotiating Advantage“We don't look at contracts as a way to enforce something. We look at contracts as a way to memorialize our agreement.” - Sharran SrivatsaaTimestamps:00:00 Why do you need a playbook01:39 Mistakes can be costly if you don't have a playbook02:22 Sharran’s framework is an excellent guide if you're considering investing in a business03:32 Discover the origin of Sharran’s FOUR GOODS process04:36 Good people - referrals are not enough; working relationship and history are necessary to get to know people09:37 Good intentions - is this person friendly, helpful, and collaborative?12:55 The two kinds of people - the person in the middle is a very dangerous person16:46 Good rationale - the deal has to work on a simple spreadsheet; No spreadsheet, No deal!19:16 Good contract (a Memorandum of Understanding can also work) - don't proceed with the contract without good people, good intentions, and good rationaleResources:- Grab Sharran’s 4-Week MBA for FreeConnect with Sharran:- Website- LinkedIn- Facebook- Instagram

Would you rather buy an existing business than start one from scratch?. The advantages include established customers and ongoing cash flow. The downside is that most business owners want upfront payment before they hand over the keys. However, you might be able to find an owner that will work with you to buy the business with zero money down and payments spread out over time. Of course, you need to know how to negotiate or have someone represent you to close the deal. Just how exactly do you buy a business with no money down? Tune in to this episode to hear how Sharran made it happen for his client.“Treat the seller like your grandma.”“If you’re the buyer, you would never do a bad deal with your grandma, so you want to make sure that the deal is the right deal for the seller.” - Sharran SrivatsaaTimestamps:00:00 So how do you buy a business for zero money down00:34 Let’s look at A MILLION DOLLAR deal01:19 What to do if your equity partner backs out02:28 Don’t make this MISTAKE when trying to convince the owner  to finance the purchase of his own company03:30 Two questions to ask the seller so you can make them agree to fund the equity05:26 How to make the seller finance the balance and not just the equity (making the entire purchase seller-financed)07:17 The benefits of a seller-financed deal and how to counteract seller remorse09:18 Here’s why you need to treat the seller like your grandma  Resources:- Grab Sharran’s 4-Week MBA for FreeConnect with Sharran:- Website- LinkedIn- Facebook- Instagram

To help you address your prospect’s concerns and help move the deal forward, Sharran lays out the 5 core human objections and provides you with a framework to overcome each objection and get the other person to say yes. If you want to effortlessly BYPASS OBJECTIONS and DOUBLE YOUR CLOSE RATE without hard selling or high-pressure tactics, get Sharran's Objection Handling Framework for 90% off: https://www.sharranvip.com/5-step-objection-framework“If you can answer these 5 objections, most of the time, almost anything will work.” - Sharran Srivatsaa Timestamps:00:05 This question prompted Sharran to create today's episode 00:50 What are the 5 core human objections we often encounter01:22 What happens if you can answer each objection04:47 Mistakes when addressing the IT WON’T WORK FOR ME objection 08:09 The 3 Whys to address the I DON'T BELIEVE YOU objection11:40 How do you convince people that they need something right now (addressing the I DON'T NEED IT objection)18:11 Addressing the NO TIME and NO MONEY objections is easier than you think20:31 How to create good content using the 5 core objections21:36 Why do you need to get people to say YES to the different levels of objections  Resources:- Get Sharran's Objection Handling Framework for 90% off- Get the Productivity Playbook- Grab Sharran’s 4-Week MBA for FreeConnect with Sharran:- Website- LinkedIn- Facebook- Instagram
