Starting a business is no mean feat.
Besides an idea, capital, and a good marketing strategy, you also need to have a philosophy on how to approach business. A philosophy that will help you grow your business with integrity. That’s right – no gimmicks.
While this is rare, there are some innovative entrepreneurs who develop systems, strategies, and philosophies that have helped them disrupt their niches and industries. Junior Anthony, the founder of LiveSatori, is one such out-of-the-box innovative thinker. He developed a strategy that has helped him turn the tables on everything life and the business world threw at him. The result? He comes out on top every single time.
He calls it the Black Shark Approach.
But before we dive into the nitty-gritty details of what the Black Shark Approach is and how you can implement it into your business, let’s quickly look at why Junior Anthony is worth listening to.
Who the Heck is Junior Anthony (And Why Should You Bother Listening to Him)?
Who is Junior Anthony and why should you listen to him?
Well, for one, he’s scaled several new online businesses to over 6-figures.
I know what you’re thinking – other online coaches have had the same results, right?
Sure, but most of them didn’t come from a place where Junior came from – living on the streets. And most of them are theorists. Junior has lived everything he teaches. He’s one of the few authentic leaders who’s living their message. Few can brag about having successfully gone from broke and homeless to leading a tribe of 6-figure entrepreneurs.
So yes, pay close attention to the Black Shark Approach.
The Black Shark Approach – 5 Foundational Pillars to Master
Disclaimer: this is not a get rich quick scheme. You must be prepared to put in the work. More than that, you must make the Black Shark Approach a way of life.
Ready to start your journey to financial freedom, fulfillment, and legacy building?
Then let’s grow your business with integrity. Let’s grow it the Black Shark way.
1. Know What You Want – And Go for It
The first step to growing your business with integrity is to know what you want, and then go get it. One mistake that many entrepreneurs make is to think that integrity is a sign of weakness. Integrity is the power to control your responses by sticking to your principles and values. It’s knowing what you want and refusing to settle for less.
So, how do you respond when life isn’t giving you what you want?
You keep on pushing. You pursue your dreams, visions, and goals relentlessly until you succeed. This is the key ingredient to growing a business – determination until the deal is done.
For certain species of sharks, it’s swim or die. These are called obligate ram ventilators – and you’re one of them. The moment you stop moving in life, the moment you stop pushing your business forward, you start sinking.
Bottom line – know what you want and never rest until you get it.
2. Make No Excuses – They’re for Losers
If a shark doesn’t eat, it will starve to death.
And guess who’s to blame?
No, it’s not the ocean. And it certainly isn’t the prey, because the ocean’s teaming with food. The only person the shark can blame is itself.
You’re a shark. You’re responsible for your results. So don’t make excuses. Excuses are for losers. Take responsibility for all your actions, because that’s the only way you can grow. And that’s the only way you can ensure that once you jump into the game, there’s no way out. The only way out is at the top – of the food chain.
One of the biggest excuses you need to ditch is, “I can’t start my business because…”
Stop making excuses and start your business today.
3. Victim or Victor – It’s Your Choice
Life favors those who take control of their circumstances and create their own narrative. This means you have a choice. You’re either the victim or the victor.
The flag you raise will determine the path you walk on. So choose to raise the victors’ flag high and you’ll walk along the path to success.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying life will never kick you in the teeth. It probably will – many times. But even if it does, maintain the stance and attitude of a fighter in the ring. As long as you’ve still got breath in you, you’re still in the fight. And you alone will determine whether you come out of the ring with nothing but a bloody nose, or whether you come out with the trophy.
You must change your mindset, and stray from seeing yourself as a victim/loser/failure, or whatever it is you call yourself.
You are a victor.
You are a shark.
4. Be Hungry for Success – Or Starve to Death
With only $10 to his name, Junior fulfilled his promise of taking his then-girlfriend on a date.
That’s another thing about sharks, they never break their word – that’s integrity.
At the end of the date (at a Panera Bread) and with only a dollar left to his name, Junior was hungrier than when he came in. Hungry for change. Hungry for success.
And that hunger pushed him to make the bold move of calling a lead he’d been warming up the past couple of months. It was his last roll of the dice before ending it all – he just had to close the deal. Long story short, he did.
The moral of the story – be hungry for success. Otherwise, you’ll starve to death. While painful, hunger is one of the strongest motivators an entrepreneur can have. You just need to know how to channel it. And the best way to channel it is to use it as the driving force to grow your business.
5. Sharks that Hunt Together Take Over the Ocean
Scientists recently discovered a new phenomenon among certain species of reef sharks – they hunt in packs. This cooperation increases their success rates.
That’s the philosophy Black Sharks live by. They believe in networking and building strong ties. They believe in belonging to a family of like-minded entrepreneurs who are hungry for growth, and will do everything ethically possible to get it. By working together, things get done quicker, the results are better, and the impact is multiplied. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved.
Sharks that hunt together take over the ocean.
Yes, you may be a solopreneur, but that doesn’t mean you should do everything alone. You must join a family of fellow entrepreneurs and learn from their mistakes and victories. That’s the Black Shark Approach to growing a successful business – do it with family. That’s one thing Junior realized early on in business. For you to truly grow your business and make a lasting impact, you need to take your family with you on the journey to success. And family in this instance goes beyond your blood relatives – it includes the other sharks you hunt with.
The Black Shark Approach – Join the Revolution
If you’re like many online entrepreneurs, you’ve probably spent a lot of money on courses that yielded little or no results. That’s because most courses aren’t designed to make you rich. They’re designed to make the course creator rich.
But there are a few courses and communities out there that were born out of a passion to rescue people who are floundering in mediocrity.
Looking for such a course or community?
Then check out LiveSotori. This is where you’ll learn all of Junior’s secrets to succeeding in business. You’ll also find a great family of sharks to take the journey with.
Welcome to the ocean. It’s time to swim.
