How to Attract Winners to Your Team

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we dive into what separates good teams from great ones—the ability to attract hungry, high-performing people. Paul reveals how, early in his leadership journey, he made the mistake of hiring purely for skill. Over time, he learned that skills can be taught—but hunger can’t. Real winners aren’t drawn to titles or hype; they’re drawn to consistency, discipline, and leaders who embody what they expect from others. 🔑 Key takeaways: Don’t just look for talent—look for drive and attitude. Winners follow doers, not talkers. Guard your energy; it attracts people on your wavelength. You can’t attract lions if you move like prey. Be the type of person you’d want to hire or follow. 💡 Action Step: Ask yourself honestly: Would I hire me right now? If not, fix it. If yes, find people who match your pace and build with them. 🎧 Tune in now to learn how to attract high-caliber teammates and lead from the front. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we uncover why speed beats everything—talent, money, and even experience. Paul shares how urgency—not funding or credentials—helped him transition from law enforcement to entrepreneurship. While others planned for months, he took messy action and learned by doing. Because in business, hesitation is expensive—and done will always beat perfect. 🔑 Key takeaways: Speed doesn’t mean being reckless—it means refusing to wait for perfect conditions. The market rewards action-takers, not overthinkers. Every day you delay, someone else launches your idea. Momentum builds confidence, and confidence builds success. Fast progress always beats slow perfection. 💡 Action Step: Identify one decision you’ve been dragging your feet on. Take one small step today—send the message, register the business, make the call. Forward motion creates clarity. 🎧 Tune in now to learn how speed creates unstoppable momentum and turns vision into reality. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we flip the script on what it means to have weaknesses—and how the very thing you think holds you back might be your greatest strength. Paul shares how not being a “tech guy” early in his career forced him to master communication and leadership, two skills that helped him build multiple 7-figure companies. Instead of hiding weaknesses, he learned to train them into assets. 🔑 Key takeaways: Your weakness is only a weakness if you stop learning from it. What makes you different is often what makes you valuable. Overthinking can become strategy. Shyness can become strong listening. Don’t hide your flaws—turn them into features. Growth starts when you embrace, not escape, your gaps. 💡 Action Step: Write down one weakness you’ve been ashamed of. Then ask yourself: How could this actually help me win if I mastered it? Your biggest advantage might be hiding inside that answer. 🎧 Tune in now to learn how to transform self-doubt into your most powerful weapon. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we uncover why most entrepreneurs don’t fail because of bad ideas—they fail because they waste time. Paul shares how working 80–100-hour weeks in law enforcement taught him that being busy doesn’t mean being productive. True success isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most. 🔑 Key takeaways: Busyness isn’t progress—intentional action is. You’ll never “find” time; you must make it. Master your hours before you scale your business. Discipline creates freedom—protect your time like it’s money. Small, focused blocks of effort stack into massive results. 💡 Action Step: Pick one hour this week to protect like your life depends on it. No distractions, no scrolling—just pure focus on something that moves your dream forward. Then repeat it next week. 🎧 Tune in now to learn how mastering time management separates dreamers from doers.

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we dive into how to build a brand so strong that competitors can’t copy it—they start to fear it. Paul reveals the truth most entrepreneurs miss: branding isn’t about fancy logos or websites—it’s about trust. Real branding is built through consistency, reputation, and results. Every message, product, and customer interaction either strengthens or weakens your name. 🔑 Key takeaways: A true brand is built on trust and proof, not design. Competitors can copy your offer, but never your story, discipline, or customer experience. Every small, consistent action builds confidence in your brand. The most feared brands are the ones that never stop improving. Your reputation is the most powerful marketing asset you own. 💡 Action Step: Ask yourself: What’s one thing my clients or coworkers can always count on me for? Double down on that. That’s the foundation of an unshakable brand. 🎧 Tune in now to learn how to become the brand everyone else tries to catch up to. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Paul shares how he came from a family that didn’t pass down money or connections—only hard work. But he reminds us that legacy isn’t what you leave for your family; it’s what you leave in them. Every disciplined decision, every standard you raise, and every mindset you change writes a new story for the next generation. 🔑 Key takeaways: Legacy isn’t built on wealth—it’s built on values. Every choice you make shapes your family’s future blueprint. Be the first in your family to break a cycle or build a bridge. Your kids don’t need perfection—they need proof that it’s possible. Change your habits, and you’ll change your bloodline. 💡 Action Step: Write five sentences that start with “I was the first in our family to…” Read them out loud—and then go make them true. 🎧 Tune in now to learn how to build a legacy that lasts long after you’re gone.

In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we break down why the best investment you’ll ever make isn’t in real estate, crypto, or the stock market—it’s in YOU. Paul shares how his first real return didn’t come from Wall Street, but from investing in a mentor. That decision multiplied not just his income, but his mindset. Because while markets can crash, skills don’t. Knowledge compounds faster than interest ever could. 🔑 Key takeaways: The highest ROI always comes from self-development. Mentorship, books, and education expand your thinking—and your earning. You can’t “time” your growth; you must choose it. Invest in your mindset, because that’s what drives money toward you. Don’t fear spending on growth; fear staying the same. 💡 Action Step: Create a personal Growth Fund—even $50 to $500—and use it this month on something that expands your mind or your network. Watch how that investment starts paying dividends in clarity, confidence, and opportunity. 🎧 Tune in now to discover why betting on yourself is the smartest financial move you’ll ever make.
