A spoken excerpt advising creators and sales/prospecting professionals to shift focus from output to input: consume new ideas, maintain excitement and energy when publishing content (e.g., LinkedIn), and seek feedback or support from managers and teammates when crafting outreach. The speaker argues that energized input attracts opportunities and prevents repetitive, draining effort.
When you feel like you've pushed as hard as you can with output, think about input. Like, what are you reading? What are you listening to? Like, how are you getting new ideas so you're not just, like, banging your head against a brick wall again and again and again? Like, how are you feeling? Excited. Because when you are prospecting, let's say, on LinkedIn, for example, like, if I were to have written posts and I was in the mindset of, like, oh, I have to publish this content on LinkedIn, and I was publishing it with no energy, you never would have contacted me to be on this podcast. But because when I was publishing on LinkedIn, like, my energy, I was excited, I wanted to share. I was really enjoying what I was doing. It attracts people who are interested, and that's the same when you're prospecting. So I think, you know, how are you getting input, whether that's, you know, asking your manager for another call, whether that's asking a teammate to get their eyes on a new script or some emails that you're writing.
