You know, here's a stat that genuinely, it shocked me. Sales teams spend 50% of their time on admin work rather than selling, building relationships, closing deals. That's where today's sponsor, Pipe Drive, comes in. An intelligent, AI-powered sales CRM loved by so many different growing sales teams, including two that I'm involved with. Some of the new features they have, which my producer is already using on this show, include pre-meeting briefs and AI note taker during your meetings, which we use here on the podcast. It records and takes notes so you don't have to. You stay in the conversation. Pipe Drive drives and takes care of the rest. So switch to a CRM built by salespeople for salespeople and join one of the 100,000 other companies already using Pipe Drive. My link gets you an exclusive 30 days free instead of the usual 14 days free. No credit card or payment needed. Just head to pipedrive.com/edmylett to get started. That's pipedrive.com/edmylett to get started.

Are your ad campaigns lighting up the dashboard? But not the pipeline. That's bull spend and marketers are calling it out in dashboard. Confessions.

My boss asked for results, so I opened my dashboard for the only positive sounding metric I had. Impressions.

Now on with the show. Today's question was very simple. Ed, how do I change my present right now? By the way, if you have a question you want answered on the show, you can submit it on my Instagram, at Ed Mylett, E-D-M-Y-L-E-T-T. You submit it there, we get thousands of them, but there's a chance your question will get answered on the show. And so today is all about leadership and vision and dreams, because I've been asked about this topic a lot. And don't discount yourself. If you have a child, if you have a company, a business, if you are a human being, you're a leader in the context that I'm going to talk about for today, okay? So today's topic is this. I want you to write this down. Here's the title. It takes leaders with vision to help people with dreams. Let me say it to you again. This is big stuff. It takes leaders with vision to help people with dreams. That's not my saying. I heard it somewhere many, many years ago. But I've lived by it. It takes leaders with vision to help people with dreams. What does that mean, Ed? Well, here's what it means. The first thing is it's a reminder that everybody you meet has a dream. Everybody's born with a dream. There's a heart that dreams. As we get older, those dreams can change. They can evolve. They can even die and get buried. But every human being has a dream. That dream could be to be a multimillionaire, billionaire. That dream could be to lead millions of people. That dream could be to be a mother or a father. That dream could be a particular career. That dream could have a particular body. That dream could be to live with this particular set of emotions. For some of you, your dream is as simple as, my dream is to begin to be happy. I'm tired of living sad or down or worried or angry. But remember this, every human being you meet has a dream. It might be a big one that's long term and it might be just a short one. Their dream might just be, man, can I get through today with a little bit of peace, with a little bit of bliss? But everybody's got a dream. I reminded myself of that when I meet humans, that they have dreams. Every precious person has one. And like I said, there's millions of them and there's varieties of them. And some people have lots of different dreams.

But this is a context and a syntax that you begin to see your brothers and sisters differently. That server at the restaurant that's serving you, that you don't make eye contact with when they ask you how's the food or what would you like to order? That person's got a dream. That dream might be just that you acknowledge them. That dream might be that they want to be the best server that's ever lived. That dream might be that, you know, they want to have a big YouTube channel someday. That dream might be they want to write a book. That dream might be that they want to meet the love of their life. But that person's got a dream. That's why they were born. You were born to live a dream. You were born to make your dreams come true. And I know this. And so what those people are looking for is a leader.
