How To Turn Any Idea Into A Reality - Dale Backus

The Better Questions

“The decision to create or build something rarely backfires."

After deciding college was not for him, Dale Backus decided to enter the Doritos Super Bowl contest. The winner of the contest would have a Doritos commercial aired right after the kick off and also win a large cash prize.

Dale (and his friend) went on to not only win the first year, but a second year as well. The money they won funded their now multi-million-dollar company, SmallHD.

We hear success stories like Dale’s all the time and tend to see only the end result — not all the micro-steps that led up to that success.

In this episode, Dale breaks down the journey of how he got to where he is today, how he overcame psychological barriers along the way, and his steps on how to turn any idea into something real and tangible.

By the end of this episode, you will know:

1) If it's better to have a general knowledge of many things, or to just master one thing

2) How to determine the difference between a distraction and step forward

3) Why not having enough time actually works in your favor

4) How to use social anxiety to your advantage

5) The number one personality trait required to be an entrepreneur

6) Why you shouldn’t think about your end goals
