This week on BE A Wolf - Sessions, I sit down with Johnny Yang, the 22-year-old creative genius behind Feature Studio and Feature Weddings.

In this introduction to Johnny, we dive into his unique upbringing, living between China and New Zealand, and how growing up in two vastly different cultures shaped his perspectives and decision-making process.

We explore the influences that guided Johnny’s career choices and the journey of discovering his passion for creativity.

Johnny shares insights into the struggles young students face when trying to choose the right path at university and the uncertainty that often comes with it.

We also discuss the importance of exploration and taking risks to break out of comfort zones and find one's true calling. Whether you’re a student or someone seeking inspiration to follow your dreams, Johnny’s story is sure to resonate and encourage you to embrace your journey.

Give back to the community that raised you…

These six words have guided me to where I am today, and I believe they hold immense power in shaping our success and fulfillment.

After building a successful business from the ground up and creating incredible marketplaces across Australia and New Zealand, I’ve pinpointed six key principles that have not only driven our growth but also enabled us to give back in meaningful ways.

Leverage them to:

- Build a thriving, community-focused business
- Empower local entrepreneurs and businesses
- Inspire others to transcend their challenges
- Create a legacy of positive impact
- Foster a culture of resilience and innovation

Even if you feel like you don't fit the traditional mold, these principles will help.

1. Resilience: Overcoming adversity:
"How can I turn my challenges into strengths?"

2. Innovation: Embracing creativity:
"What unique solutions can I bring to the table?"

3. Empathy: Understanding community needs:
"How can I support and uplift those around me?"

4. Passion: Fueling your drive:
"What truly inspires and motivates me?"

5. Collaboration: Building strong connections:
"Who can I partner with to amplify our impact?"

6. Purpose: Giving back:
"How can I contribute to the community that shaped me?"

By focusing on these principles, I've built a business that not only thrives but also creates lasting change.

Every step of the way, it's been about more than just success—it's been about making a difference.

Keep going, keep believing, and keep giving back.

Let's talk about a game-changer in sales and business growth. If you want to hit that million-dollar mark, it’s not just about having a great offer or being a master at pitching. The real magic happens when people genuinely believe that what you’re offering is the perfect solution to their problem.

But hold on, having a solution isn’t enough on its own. Your prospects need to see your offer as the absolute best option out there.

So, how do you nail that? By transferring two key beliefs to them:

1. Your offer is the most guaranteed fix for their problems.
2. Your offer is the easiest path to solve those problems.

Get these two beliefs across, and you'll see your sales skyrocket. It's all about making your offer irresistible and the go-to choice for your prospects.
