Breaking Digital Podcast — Episode 31 With Digital Influencer Daniel Priestley
Listen to the Breaking.Digital podcast episode on iTunes here.
Why is Daniel Priestley one of the most influential and sought-after entrepreneurs around the globe? Maybe…running a multinational business organisation of Dent.Global — helping entrepreneurs around the world define and deliver their value… or, writing three amazing best sellers on how to genuinely grow your business…or, even committing to helping those less fortunate than others… might all have something to do with it.
An amazing entrepreneur, business person, and all around insightful and intuitive guy who really believes that we can all do better, with the right tools, training, and influence.
I recently had the extreme pleasure to interview Daniel on my podcast, for his take on what it actually takes to survive and thrive in the disrupting space of digital, and how best to take advantage of it for your business.
And, we even find out the eternal question of ‘why aren’t the beaches over-crowded with entrepreneurs gleefully making money?’
Daniel Priestly creates influential and inspirational entrepreneurs around the world that transform and disrupt the foundations of business. He knows that environment dictates performance, and is not simply a special “success” gene. Successful people are in an environment that supports getting things done. These are high-performance environments — and high-performing entrepreneurs. Daniel creates the necessary environments needed for entrepreneurs of all walks of life to succeed.
“Success is not a gene. Successful people are in an environment that supports getting things done.” — Daniel Priestley
Many entrepreneurs and businesses have brilliant ideas, but they are not able to articulate this to an audience. Using the Zero Moment of Truth, a marketing philosophy created by Google, Daniel helps entrepreneurs go through the journey of exploring digital and learning how to build “like” and “trust” in an online space, as well as knowledge about ‘you’, and conveying your expertise to your ideal audience. He builds these patterns into everything that he does, which allow him to connect and contribute to the growth of entrepreneurs around the world, through his businesses Dent.Global and Key Person of Influence.
In the entrepreneur world, Daniel studies and understands what is actually happening, and then is able to create amazing discussions, ideas and insights on how to best navigate these areas. He knows what makes a key person of influence, a thought leader, a go-to person which helps attract quality work for all of his clients.
DANIEL PRIESTLEY started as an entrepreneur at age 21 and built a multi-million-dollar marketing, event and management business before the age of 25. A successful entrepreneur, international speaker and best-selling author, Daniel has built and sold businesses in Australia, Singapore and the UK.
“Behind every entrepreneur is an experience of some kind of pain of sharing an idea and getting rejected, or seeing a problem in a world that no one is changing. They usually know how to solve it.” — Daniel Priestley
As an active fundraiser, Daniel has helped raise over £350,000 for various charities, and is connected to some of the world’s most known and celebrated entrepreneurs and leaders. In 2016, he was listed in the Top 25 of the Smith & Williamson Power 100 which shines a spotlight on the influencers who champion and most impact the lives of entrepreneurs.
“Have deep insights to know a lot about your topic and have lots of people know that about you. That makes you a key person of influence and a thought leader, a go-to person which helps you to start attracting the work.” — Daniel Priestley
In this episode of Breaking Digital — Digital influencer, Daniel Priestley goes into some extreme detail on how you can improve your overall digital platform for your business, how to attract and retain your audience to make a strong and profitable business opportunity, and how to create the “know”, “like” and “trust” triangle that gets people wanting to work with you. He explains why it’s important to stop watching the news, stop watching silly youtube videos and stop posting to Instagram accounts so you can get on with being awesome at what you do. Daniel emphasizes doubling down on your craft and really taking an opinion on things; fail on stuff, improve stuff, pick a path and go with it. It’s not easy, but with some of the key content principles that Daniel outlines, you can get to the bottom of creating remarkable stories and connections with your audience.
What does Daniel fully recommend, to get down to business, being amazing at what you do, and focus on building a better tomorrow? Give up on the news. I agree completely.
“I think every entrepreneur goes through a phase where they realize that they have to stop watching the news, stop watching these silly videos and Instagram accounts and just get on with being awesome at what you do and double down on your craft and become the best at what you do, and really take an opinion on things and fail on stuff and improve stuff and pick a path and go with it.” — Daniel Priestley
