174: Finding The Right Clients For You w/ David Meltzer

Season #1 Episode #174

Everyone you ever interact with will have an impact on you. That includes your clients. People have energy and that energy is contagious. If you’ve ever worked with difficult clients you know what I mean. They affect how you feel. The same is true for great clients. So are you seeking out the right clients for you?

David Meltzer is the co-founder of Sports 1 Marketing and formerly served as CEO of the renowned Leigh Steinberg Sports & Entertainment, which was the inspiration for the movie Jerry Maguire. He is a three-time international best-selling author, a Top 100 Business Coach, the executive producer of Entrepreneur‘s #1 digital business show, “Elevator Pitch”, and host of the top entrepreneur podcast, The Playbook. His newest book, Game-Time Decision Making, was a #1 new release. 

David’s life story involves committing to pursuing your potential and seeing where that takes you. He’s learned a lot of important lessons along the way. This includes putting in the effort where it will actually pay off rather than focusing just on the work itself.

Through hard lessons, David learned the importance of surrounding himself with the right energy. We’re all influenced by the people around us. Finding the right people and energy requires being aware of your values. It also means asking the right series of questions and being aware of how you spend your time. David promises that this will lead to more money and fulfillment without fail.
