Self-development as a key resource for business Growth

Johnny Dzubak is an author and co-founder of The Art of Charm, a podcast and coaching platform that deals with relationship coaching. Johnny alongside AJ Harbinger uses their podcast as a tool to help their listeners in realizing their full self-potential and build a dream life they’re proud of. 

 

Diversification of Communication

The internet is still in its Wild West phase; different information and media platforms like podcasts, blogs, social media are still trying to take control. 

Johnny compares the current internet power squabble to the fight that’s been happening between different communication platforms over the ages. For example, with the invention of the printing press, Martin Luther famously quoted the power that people gained through personally translating the Bible. 

Radios and Televisions are the other mediums that came in and revolutionized how information is fed to the masses.  

With the power now shifting to internet-based information sharing platforms; bloggers, podcasters, writers, SM influencers and vloggers now command a lot of communication authority. 

It’s important now more than ever for the ones vested with this tremendous power to learn personal responsibility and engage only in positive information sharing. 

 

Growth of the Podcast

 

With the growth of the internet, Johnny and his Co-host identified the rise of a need for technically advanced men to seek advice on how to flirt with girls online. 

This marked the launch and successful growth of the Art of Charm Podcast as a reliable source where young men acquired dating and relationship tips. 

Their platform has ever since grown to be a source for general relationship advice, with Johnny and AJ leveraging on their 11+ years of coaching experience to share practices, stories, and strategies to empower their listeners and clients. 

 

Growth Mindset. 

The reason life gets tougher is that our bodies stop growing, and begin to age. 

Whilst growth is characterized by passion, enthusiasm, speed, and strength; ageing on the other hand is characterized by a slow ride down the hill where our bodies and minds get frailer with every passing day.  

There’s still hope though. If you can find other ways to continue growing, you not only slow your ageing, but also reverse the negative effects of old age into positive continuous growth for your body, mind and spirit. 

 

Rather than trying to fight the downhill journey by tooth and nail, you can leverage the following strategies to keep your growth pattern high and steady;

• Keep your physical stamina high by going to the gym and exercising more often. 

Remember to eat more consciously too. 

• Emotional growth can be sustained by showing more interest in human experience. Research and learn how to compensate for your weaknesses by finding and leveraging your strengths. 

• Mental growth - Take new opportunities to keep learning. A philosophical journey encompasses your personal inner relationship; finding out more about your life’s purpose including what drives and scares you. 

 

For intellectual stimulation to occur, one has to adopt a growth mindset. Constantly expose yourself to new ideas, and learn to filter out concepts that you do not need, and only remain with the ones that serve your growth. 

 

Seek better ways to grow socially too. We as human beings are naturally social creatures. What brings us joy more than anything is our service to others. 

Link your purpose to servitude, and you’ll experience tremendous joy in all three aspects of your life. 

 

The journey to self-Knowledge. 

Learning to know yourself is no easy task. 

However, the self-growth tools that have existed for countless generations, are still present to date. Such tools include; mediation, gratitude practise, focus, value-based living and servitude.

. 

Like everything in nature, humans too, have their dark sides.

 

People who end up being successful, happy or masters of their crafts, are the ones who have learnt to accept their flaws, and constantly work on how to become better people.

 

We all grow up in different environments, which result in different characters and personalities. 

We thus owe it to ourselves to reflect and understand our past environments, list down the strengths and weaknesses that have resulted from them, and learn how to embrace and grow from it all.  

It can be intimidating to face your fears and weaknesses, but as an entrepreneur, you tend to wear a lot of hats, and the best way forward, is to face your incompetence for continued personal and professional growth.  

 

Johnny’s superpower. 

The ability to observe. Johnny takes the time to observe with all his senses and takes in emotional bids from every situation. 

Our emotions, tied to how we connect with other people, determine how much we take in, process, and understand about other people. 

Learn to listen with both your ears and eyes. Notice the small things about other people, and you’ll accomplish wonders through emotional connections.
