Episode 212 – Shaahin Cheyene – Uncompromising Excellence

“Showing up is 80% of the game. The other 20% is not being afraid to fail.” – Shaahin Cheyene


 
  • In this episode, Shaahin delves into various aspects of entrepreneurship and the qualities he observes and values to achieve real wealth and success. Drawing from his own experiences, he shares stories of overcoming societal limitations to build stability and success. Shaahin talks about the importance of building multiple streams of income and the courses he offers to help people create a business with Amazon that brings real value to the consumer and generates extraordinary revenue by understanding the long game. But more importantly, you need to show up to the game! Shaahin defines success as a personal measure, not one based on comparison with others, and advocates for systems over goals and the power of self-knowledge in discipline. Shaahin and Patrick discuss the importance of knowing yourself—your strengths, weaknesses, and the fabric of who you are to make informed decisions and lead a fulfilling life.

  • [20:49] In the face of global turmoil, we can choose to let the fear and chaos permeate our ecosystem or we can choose to tune it out, create from it, build stability, and thrive. Shaahin shares how, in his teen years, he chose the latter path and walked around the rainbow to find the pot of gold. In short, he didn’t believe in the system-dictated story of limitations.
  • [29:07] What was the inspiration for Shaahin’s remarkable path of entrepreneurialism? Without a clear path for success in his own environment he forged his own way. With more aspirations afoot, Shaahin explains what fires that inspiration every day.
  • [33:51] Exiting a billion-dollar business and continuing with the next. Shaahin explains why he didn’t just build the first one bigger or simply take the money and stop. He shares what drives him and how he defines “what is enough.”

  • [42:46] Patrick shares a story about comparison to illustrate that!

  • [49:31] Habits vs. discipline. Shaahin shares his thought process around discipline, deferred gratification and the appreciation of life in an uncertain world.

  • [60:08] Understand your strengths. Shaahin talks about company culture and why that’s not his wheelhouse.
