“If you think with that mindset when you’re creating your processes and setting up, ‘This is how this is going to work and this is how this is going to slow,’ then when you do get that opportunity, you’re ready to roll. You’re ready to hit the ground running and you can scale.”
If you could do a Skype call with any living person, who would it be?
A first for Social Pros! Given this chance, Ricky would chat it up with the one and only Adam Sandler. He’d love grab a beer with him and discover his secret for getting people to fund his movies. Because while Ricky loves him and his movies, they are perhaps not the wisest investment…
See you next week!
