Anybody Can Learn the Hard Skills – It's The Soft Skills That Matter More | ECRM Q&A

Today's episode is an interview I did with ECRM. We discuss entrepreneurship and life lessons, employing empathy for your customers, why you need to be the perfect blend of patient and tenacious, and why you should never expect any handouts, but instead have the drive to get more yourself.

Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.

im not the best dressed, the best looking, best speaking or the best brand people love my humility n how i help them without asking for a thing. if i ask for something its bc i really see the oportunity 4 both of us not bc of something ive done 4 them.

Always learning something new when I watch this guy

[stevenbritton]

Great conversation, my hope is that companies in the near future begin to focus more on soft skills. Hard skills are easier to attain in my opinion and don’t determine if a person would be successful in a position.

[ViDZ-elkm]

I AM NOT AFRAID TO ACT ON MY IDEAS BC IF IT RUINS A RELATIONSHIP, IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE & THE UPSIDE IS WE CAN ALL WIN!!!! Sometimes you gotta just go for it as long as ur intentions are pure. Being an empath i was taught it was a weakness but learning business ive seen our weaknesses can be our biggest stregnth.

A natural at the soft skills will never get noticed without the hard skills.

"I just wanna be happy don't you wanna be happy?"

[ricardopalma]

Kindness and empathy confuse some people that have a "overrated" ego. Everything we do has to come from a selfless place. This is the human journey on this planet.

[brothersvanhees]

100% agree. This is why it's so important not to hire anyone purely based on their qualifications. Life experience and practical know-how are equally as important!

[CaseyBurnsInvesting]

Leaders are the winners in life. That’s the most important skill, leading people.

[cashflow]

To really be successful you need more than just the skills. Talent + skill + knowledge is the success formula. Empathy or responsibility is a talent that we all have. Some have a lot of it and some don't have a lot of it.

As a sort of “testament” to your analogy of what is the salt & pepper, & what’s the steak, of empathy within a business, I was FIRED from 3 jobs in my life time. 2 were back to back in the recent past. And in my perspective, I was fired over salt & pepper reasons & the steak was over looked. I have struggled with this in terms of my confidence in my work ability. Not, now❣️thank you🙏

Soft skills is what gets you promoted, negotiate well, and close deals. Facts.🤷‍♀️

[chelangatjoshua]

A man or woman with the WIll(Incredible drive) is more than a man or woman with the MONEY. Empathy, the incredible drive does not correlate with patience. JUST, Love the process no matter how you feel. Passion is the key that drives home patience for any Entrepreneur to persistently reach their goals. If it was so easy everyone will be doing it. However, it becomes easy as you continue to do it always.

[onfrancisyu]

I do agree the hard skills anyone can learn so do the soft skill.

[rainrecollet]

I love the spectrum approach to EQ. I did not think of it that way yet. Very cool

[sayitskay]

I don't know anything else either. I have to have patience. My channel proves that.
