Mo asks Tyler Sweatt: When did you realize that business development was great?

When Tyler transitioned out of the military, he wasn’t sure which direction to take his career. He cut his teeth at Deloitte where he learned the two basic functions of a business: value creation and value protection.
You have to figure out which one you need to focus on from a career standpoint. Tyler started thinking about how to build relationships and establish trust since that was the fastest way to grow.
Tyler found a few partners within the organization that helped him learn the ropes of value creation, and in the process, he got in touch with Toffler Associates. That was where he learned a new approach to consulting that opened up a huge number of opportunities for him.
Those experiences became unique information that Tyler could share simply by being exposed to it.
There is no better time than now to invest in yourself and your education. Focusing on your technical expertise, getting exposed to how other businesses work, and growth skills.
When you’re learning, you should always have the last part be a practical implementation. Test your knowledge and put it into practice.
Value creation and growth skills are highly transferable.
