How To Be Remarkable In Business & Life

Being remarkable in business and in life is a combination of several factors. It requires a combination of hard work, dedication, and the right mindset. Here are a few tips to help you become remarkable in both your professional and personal life.

Be passionate:

Passion is the fuel that drives success. When you’re passionate about something, it shows in your work and in your interactions with others. When you’re passionate, you’re more likely to put in the extra effort and go the extra mile to achieve your goals.

Be authentic:

Being authentic means being true to yourself. It means being honest about your strengths and weaknesses, and being transparent in your actions and decisions. When you’re authentic, people can trust and respect you, which is essential in business and in life.

Be a lifelong learner:

Successful people are always learning and growing. Whether it’s learning a new skill, reading a book, or attending a seminar, the more you learn, the more you can offer.

Be resilient:

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from setbacks. In business and in life, there will be times when things don’t go as planned. The key is to not let those setbacks hold you back. Instead, learn from them and move forward.

Be a leader:

Leadership is not just for the CEO or the manager. Leadership is about taking initiative and guiding others to achieve a common goal. Being a leader means being a role model, and having the ability to inspire and motivate others.

Be a good listener:

Listening is a vital skill in both business and in life. It’s essential for building relationships and understanding the needs of others. Being a good listener allows you to connect with others and build trust.

Be a problem solver:

Being a problem solver means being able to identify and solve problems efficiently and effectively. It’s a valuable skill in both business and in life, and it sets you apart from others.

Be generous:

Being generous means giving of yourself, whether it’s your time, your resources, or your knowledge. It’s a powerful way to make a difference in the lives of others, and it’s a trait that is highly valued in both business and in life.

Being remarkable in business and in life requires a combination of hard work, dedication, and the right mindset. By being passionate, authentic, a lifelong learner, resilient, a leader, a good listener, a problem solver, and generous, you can set yourself apart and achieve success in both your professional and personal life.

Who’s the Coach?

I’m Chris Dessi.

Tech entrepreneur. Author. Talking head.
But before any of that—I’m a builder.

I’ve spent the last 20+ years helping companies grow:
From dot-com chaos to SaaS scale-ups to AI-powered everything.
I’ve sold software across continents. Closed $32M in deals using AI.
Built and exited businesses. Bombed a few too. All of it made me sharper.

Today, I run Torque AI, a marketing automation platform built for the 99%.
Small business owners. Solopreneurs. Operators with too much to do and not enough support.
We give them AI superpowers—without the hype, the jargon, or the BS.

I’m also the founder of AI Summit NYC, where real business owners come to learn how to actually use AI to drive revenue.

When I’m not building, I’m writing books, speaking on national TV, and coaching execs through reinvention—with a baseball bat in one hand and a meditation app in the other.

I believe reinvention is our greatest asset.
I believe AI isn’t the threat—it’s the test.
And I believe if you’re not adapting, you’re eroding.

Let’s build something that matters.
