Speaker 2 Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex.
I went from being a comp to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day.

Speaker 2 I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.
Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now.

Speaker 2 The hardest step in success isn't the 10th. It's actually the first.
Because starting means betting on yourself when nobody else will. What's up, everybody?

Speaker 2 It's Paul Alex, former detective turn server entrepreneur.

Speaker 2 I built multiple companies from scratch, but none of that would have happened if I hadn't taken that first uncomfortable step out of my nine to five.

Speaker 2 And today we're going to be talking about how successful entrepreneurs think differently and why your first step matters more than any strategy out there, guys.

Speaker 2 Look, you have to decide fast when you're uncertain. Indecision.
kills momentum. When opportunity knocks, successful people move because they have every answer.

Speaker 2 When I got offered my first partnership, I didn't know if I was ready, guys, but I said yes and learned on the fly. That one decision opened doors that I didn't even know existed.

Speaker 2 You don't need full confidence to act, just enough courage to begin, guys. Focus on progression, not perfection.
Most people stall because they want flawless results.

Speaker 2 When I built my first online program, guys, it was rough. The lighting was bad, the slides weren't fancy, but people still got value, and I improved each version as I built through that journey.

Speaker 2 But perfect is the enemy of done. Get it out, get feedback, and just get better, guys.
Okay. Look, a lot of people, they don't see failure as feedback.
And that's exactly what you need to do.

Speaker 2 You need to see failure as feedback. So winners don't fear mistakes.
They study them. Every failed ad that I had, every bad hire, every missed goal, it all became data to me.

Speaker 2 That mindset kept me from freezing after setbacks. Back in law enforcement, I learned from every failed lead.

Speaker 2 which was still a clue okay but business works the exact same way back in law enforcement i learned every failed lead was still a clue business works the same way so what's the key takeaway for this podcast guys the difference between dreamers and doers is simple doers move first you don't have to be perfect you just have to begin so what do i challenge you for today what's one thing you've been waiting to start until it's the right time i want you to start it today take that imperfect step right now that's how you flip doubt into confidence guys by showing up when nobody's watching you don't need permission You just need momentum.

Speaker 2 And as always, guys, keep leveling up. Thanks for listening up to the Level Up Podcast.
