Grant Cardone says he walks into job interviews and either gets hired on the spot or leaves them regretting not hiring him. Being memorable means showing up as your authentic self with strong opinions and high-energy creativity. Ty Warner, founder of Beanie Babies, wore a top hat and fur coat to intrigue retailers and became a billionaire.
Good morning, Believe Nation! If you are struggling with how to be memorable, how to make sure that you are on top of everybody's mind and they never forget your name, I'm gonna share a great clip with you from Grant Cardone that I think will help.
When I go into an interview to get a job, I don't come out without a close. They'll either hire me on the spot Or they'll regret not hiring me. You might not hire me, but I promise you, you will regret not hiring me. And/or you'll say, "Dude, who was that cat?
Who was that guy that just came in here?" So while this clip is about getting an interview and getting a job, and that may not be your interest as an entrepreneur, the important message here is you need to be memorable because you may not be interviewing for a job, but you are interviewing with clients, right? When clients are talking to you, when media is talking to you, when potential employees are talking to you, big suppliers are talking to you, you, you are selling yourself and you need to be memorable. And being memorable means being yourself, having a strong opinion, standing for something, being passionate, being excited, so that after somebody walks away from a meeting with you, they're gonna love you, they're gonna love that energy and creativity, everything you threw into it, or they're not gonna love you, right? You don't want to be in that middle ground, that boring zone. You want to leave that lasting mark. I'm reminded of the story of Ty Warner, who's the founder of the Beanie Babies franchise and became a multi-billionaire. And in his early days, he used to show up for meetings with potential retailers who could sell his products wearing a top hat and a fur coat and a cane and a briefcase. And people used to always wonder, "What's in the case? Who is this strange guy walking in?" Like it or hate it, he made a lasting impression and he was memorable. Now I'm not suggesting you have to get all dressed up and you gotta make this persona, you gotta make everybody curious and maybe think you're a little bit crazy, but you do have to do something that makes you memorable. Memorable and makes you stand out. So my question of the day for you today is, what makes you memorable? I'd love to hear it in the comments below. What do people remember you for?
