Lindell explained that he only hires good people who are willing to work hard at their jobs and are also willing to help each other. He said, “I hire really smart, really talented guys that I can learn from because one thing I’ve learned over the years is you have to be willing to listen.”
2. Surround yourself with great leaders and mentors
Lindell said he has learned many things from his mentors and has been able to grow as an individual because of his affiliation with them. He noted that he does not have any formal training in business or marketing, but instead he “learned a lot about business by hiring great people.” Lindell explained, “I’m not saying you should hire somebody just because they’re a great leader. But I do believe you should surround yourself with good people and have great leaders that you can learn from.”
3. Be a good listener
Lindell explained that he tries to be very aware of what others are saying and take their suggestions into account when making decisions. He said, “I’m a big believer in listening. I think it’s very important for me to listen to what the other people say.”
4. Work hard at your profession and don’t be afraid to work long hours
Lindell explained that he puts in long hours at his job, working from home when he is not traveling or attending meetings. He added, “I think it’s important to work hard at what you do.”
5. Be honest with yourself about your strengths and weaknesses
Lindell noted that he has found that many people tend to lie about their weaknesses because they feel like their strengths can compensate for them, but this is not always the case. He explained, “I think it’s important to be honest with yourself about what you do well and what you do not. I like to say that I’m a great listener because that’s probably one of my best assets that I have.”
