In this episode of the Fire In The Belly Podcast, Mighty Pete talks to Preston Weekes, the CEO of Operations X. Preston and his team provide strategies for businesses to help them overcome challenges. Today, he lets us in on his personal story—from his background in car deals, to him owning his own company, to coaching people and so much more.
Preston is an advocate of relentless improvement. He has experienced downtimes too. And as someone who also had a hard time lifting himself up, he gives some tips on how you can stay focused on achieving more. Tune in now to learn from Preston.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Traditional schooling might not be the perfect setup for those who have ADHD and/or learning disorders. Though Preston is an eager and a quick learner, the strict schedules and deadlines don’t work for him.
Aim for relentless improvement. If you’re not progressing, you’re digressing. There should always be upgrades, no matter how big or little. Preston consumes as many books as possible, and try to learn the innovations that emerge from time to time.
Sales is life. You do it every time, you aren’t just aware of it. We go out everyday try to impress the world for more greatness or just maintain the healthy relationships we have. We like being loved and appreciated, so we go the extra mile to better ourselves.
It becomes easier to uplift the people around you when you are being authentic. You’re making it hard for yourself, for the people around you to trust you, if you can’t even walk the talk. Know your values and visions to effectively make the positive change. Don’t skip the most important step.
His clients trust him so much because he knows and can deliver. From CEOs to teams to individuals. He doesn’t fail anyone. His advice: always get it done. Learn to value integrity more.
Any traumas and/or past mistakes that happened in the past are just that—don’t let them affect your present and your future. What you take from them are lessons, not resentments and regrets. It’s difficult but you have to take a step forward every time.
BEST MOMENTS
