In this episode of the Success Fundamentals, Kris and Brian talk to Scott Snider, President of the Exit Planning Institute (EPI) and Operating Partner of Snider Premier Growth, a small family investment company. Scott takes us through his own success journey and how he views value both in his personal and professional life. For Scott, your value is all about how much you contribute, not about how much you think you’re owed. He also shares the lessons he and his team at EPI learned when they decided to pivot their business model at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. HIGHLIGHTS What makes life and business valuable? Don't let your business define you Pivot to online classes and the lessons learned when COVID-19 hit Mistakes that people make when valuing themselves and their business Create a case study of your achievements to prove your value Things you can do to be more valuable Have a good attitude and just try Listen to both sides and make an informed decision Always be open to learning QUOTES Scott: "Purposeful growth. I believe we should always be learning and growing and challenging ourselves to do not just things that we like to learn, but things that are wildly uncomfortable." Scott: "Management isn't right for everybody, but growth is." Kris: "A lot of people when they start out, they think that you got to be doing what you want to do today. And that's not necessarily the case. You have to progress. For example, if you're working at Scott's company, you want to become a director, you don't start out as a director. You start out at maybe the bottom." Scott: "If you really want to get something that you really want, just be nice to the person. Because you don't know what's going on in their life behind the scenes. I think most people are good, I think a lot of people are just a little lost, and I think the world will be a hell of a lot better place if we just treat each other with a little bit more respect."
