We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Alphanso Wilson. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Alphanso below.
Alright, Alphanso thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?
Success starts with the belief that you can achieve it. Creating a vision with a strong reason for wanting to see that vision become real is important to building lasting success. But before building success, we who are seeking it must become the person that can attract the kind of success we are going after.
Over the past few years since pursuing my passion for poetry and connecting with people, I have become a different person. In all, the application of the lessons I gained from self-development, some great audiobooks like Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz, the occasional piercing and purposeful quote or authorship, and the wisdom from friends and family each helped me grow in some necessary way.
Individuals like Les Brown, Francis Cress Welsing, Eric Thomas, and others have told stories about self-esteem, self-perception, and self-acceptance that have changed my attitude from living and working to support someone else’s dream, and thinking success is “not for me”, to an attitude of it’s possible for me. These lessons came with the understanding that I would need to become the best version of myself and continue to pursue my own internal greatness to get there.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Our mission is to exceed the ask of our clients by delivering the perfect tailored game show experience. We are an event, content, and entertainment company with a focus on gamification, game show production, learning events, game show consultation, and hosting.
We want to play our part in creating a movement of fun, celebration, and meaningful connections through our game shows. Some notable creative collaborations have included regional non-profits, and colleges such as Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, NY, as well as hosting services for brands like Dave and Busters, and Geeks Who Drink.
Most recently we began production and hosting of events across Long Island. Expect to see us in more places giving away prizes for Summer 2023! We’re thrilled to partner with sponsors like Firestone, Little Cesars, and other local businesses.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
Word of mouth, cold calls or cold walk-ins continue to be the most effective way for me to grow my business. Whether it is walking into a store cold, picking up the phone, or engaging with a perfect stranger, I find ways to outreach and share the value of my business regularly. As well as keeping my existing clients happy with the dedication and attention to detail that makes a real difference, have been a key ingredient in the success of my business.
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
“Power Of Now”, “The Way of the Superior Man”, “Psycho-Cybernetics”, “Captivate”, “Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter ” are just a few of the books I have learned a lot from in recent years that have helped in all areas of business and life.
