10-Minute Mentor with Rich Perry

In this episode: I talk about where I've been over the last few months and why I took a break from social media. I'll also share three benefits of doing a social media detox. (1) Studies have shown that it can improve your overall mood. This is especially helpful for those who struggle with anxiety, stress, or depression. (2) You won't feel as though you must compete with others in your newsfeed and you won't have to worry about the fear of missing out.

For years I’ve been creating content and sharing my work (blogging, vlogging, and podcasting) online with my audience. It’s something I enjoy doing. It’s also a core part of my marketing strategy. The reason it’s a core part of my online marketing strategy is because it works. But here’s the thing. It only works, if you put in the work. Over the years, I’ve had countless conversations with entrepreneurs who say: - I need to start blogging - I need to start making videos - I need to launch my podcast  And days and weeks and months go by and they still say the same thing. In some cases, a full year or more goes by and still no blog, no videos, and not a single podcast episode to show for it.  Creating content is a powerful way of showing your expertise. It’s one thing to say the words, “I’m an expert and here’s what I do” but it’s quite another thing to deliver a premium piece of content to your ideal client that demonstrates your expertise right in front of them. So, if you’re reading this right now and you still haven’t created any content, or you haven’t been consistent with your content creation then I only have one question for you... What’s holding you back?   [10-Minute Challenge] Share your message on the platfrom / channel that works best for you. *** Like what you hear and want more free coaching tools?

When I first started out, I chose the brand name “The Path of Me,” which focused on helping people find their own distinct path (of purpose) in life. At the time, this idea resonated with me. In the beginning I struggled with having my name tied to my work. Confidence in my ability to serve was never an issue. However I did wrestle with whether or not I had the credibility needed to share my message as an authority figure. Perhaps it was imposter syndrome. Over the years I put out lots of content and promoted my work across the social media multiverse. I made hundreds of videos, wrote articles, and launched a podcast, not to mention all the opportunities to share my message in person via speaking gigs and trainings. This was a period of learning. Want to know what else I learned? There is only one way to find out. Tune in and let today's message help you in your journey.

Over the years, I've seen many entrepreneurs work tirelessly to get featured on podcasts. They do the research, send the pitch, and land the booking. They make the necessary preparations and rock the interview. They even put out a blast on social media to alert their fans to tune in.  Up until this point, they're killing it. They've done everything right. But then they make a critical mistake. This episode reveals what they're doing wrong and what you can do to avoid the same mistakes. Plus, I'll share how you can get the smart advantage by making good use of these simple yet effective tactics in your marketing strategy.  [10-Minute Challenge] Implement at least one of these in your marketing strategy.  *** Like what you hear and want more free coaching tools?

During this ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen many service-based businesses transform day-to-day operations and products, or pivot entirely, in order to survive these darker times. We’ve also witnessed certain industries modify their service and adjust to the circumstances to effectively wait out the storm. Unfortunately, we've also seen many neighborhood businesses have to close their doors permanently.  These events have proven why it's so important for businesses to connect with their audience and find new ways to deliver value.  One powerful way to accomplish both is through video creation.  For those that have been on the fence with video content creation or have been reluctant to start for one reason or another, then let this worldwide slowdown be the exact opportunity you’ve been waiting for to begin. Time is no longer a factor because the pandemic has afforded most of us more than enough time on our hands. In this episode you'll learn how easy it can be to start using video in your marketing strategy.

There is a big difference between the images we see in the movies and how they play out in real life. In the movies we always get that desirable happy ending. However, that isn’t necessarily the case in real life. Sure, anybody can start a business but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be profitable. Likewise, anybody can create a social media profile for online visibility but that doesn’t mean that people are automatically going to “like,” “follow,” or “subscribe” just because your page exists online. You’re going to need to put a strategy in place and this is where I can help you in today's episode.

Self-mastery isn’t attained from reading a single self-help book or attending a weekend personal development seminar. It’s a lifelong process of continued growth. We get there only through practice, practice, and more persistent practice. It’s impossible to reach the mountaintop in just one day, but every day we can take steps towards that breathtaking view. From this perspective, we are able to use the power of the mind to transform small daily victories into monumental success.

Far too many people act like zombies, asleep to the world around them. As leaders, we must be present in the universe. Otherwise, how are we to take advantage of the many golden opportunities in life? In storybooks, golden opportunities are presented by fairy godmothers, genies, and wishing upon shooting stars. These are great for children’s bedtime stories, but I wouldn’t recommend them as a business or life strategy. This episode will focus on helping you recognize the many opportunities that are currently in your environment and how to attract new opportunities in business and life.  [10-Minute Challenge] Take stock of the opportunities that are around you right now. *** Like what you hear and want more free coaching tools?

Nobody wants to be just another average joe business struggling to be seen and heard in a rapidly growing marketplace. It’s noisier than ever out there and if you’re not defining your brand and standing out from the crowd then, unfortunately, you will be lumped in with everyone else. That’s no way to build brand identity and certainly isn’t going to help scale your business. In terms of marketing, one powerful way to both define your brand and establish authority is to publish original content. This might include blogging, podcasting, or vlogging, which is both a simple and efficient option for companies getting into content creation. More than likely, you already know that creating your own original content could dramatically improve and amplify marketing efforts. It’s also likely that many listeners, despite knowing the power of content marketing, remain reluctant to include original content creation as a key component to their marketing strategy. If this is you, then it’s time to get honest with what’s really holding you back. If this ongoing worldwide slowdown and the various levels of quarantining have shown us anything, it’s that people are searching for new ways to connect with the influencers and brands that are important to them. Take advantage of this opportunity to stay connected with your audience and use technology to deliver information directly to them.

No matter who you are or where you find yourself in life - communication is key. Whether you're the high ranking CEO for an international company or the owner of a family operated local business, the way you communicate your message is important. The ability to clearly communicate your message will make all the difference in the world. It bridges the gap of understanding, leaving behind conflict and discord and crosses over into agreement and harmony. It could mean the difference between having zero enrollment for your new program and having a packed house of participants eager to learn.  *** Like what you hear on 10-Minute Mentor and want more training and free coaching tools?

When you think about the basic framework of what Public Relations represents, PR is one of the most strategic ways to take the main ingredients of a story and expand them into the full picture. Each piece is the looking-glass into the ever-evolving progression around the person or entity the story is based around and the roles that they play. At the end of the day, people resonate with what connects and offers value to them personally. Not only does PR represent the story of a business, but it represents the connections, and thus relationships, that are developed in the process.  When it comes to your pitch, your message should resonate with the person who is reading it. The reader should feel some type of emotion with the message you are trying to convey. This episode will show you how to develop better people relations utilizing these four pillars.  [About Ashley Graham] Ashley is a PR Expert and Brand Strategist with a passion for coffee, media collaborations, and connection.

[From our guest mentor] “Writer’s Block” plagues many - from the most experienced writer to the novice. But what is it and how does one overcome it? In my perspective, “Writer’s Block” doesn’t exist. It’s simply something we’ve given a name to - what it really is, is fear. And we can overcome fear when we choose to embrace and fight it head-on. The important thing about fighting your feelings of fear, inadequacy, or simply being ‘stuck’ in your writing process is that you’re going to face this MANY times throughout your life. Learning what it is, how to fight it, and who you are - as a person and a writer - will empower you.

During this COVID-19 pandemic the hours seem like days, the days feel like weeks, and the weeks bear the weight of months. Given everything we've been through, and continue to experience, I think we all deserve a major award or big prize at the end of all of this. It's doubtful that will happen but it's still a nice thought. On the other hand, perhaps we could all take something positive out of this situation. There are plenty of things we could take as learning experiences. And no matter how bad it's gotten (and it's had some pretty grim moments) there are still plenty of reasons to be grateful.  If you're having difficulty finding things to be thankful for then this is the episode for you!

Let me ask you this. Who is the most important person in your life? Think about it for one moment. I’ll wait. Go ahead and really give it some thought. This isn’t a test question and you won’t be made to announce your answer in front of the class. There’s no expectation here so you shouldn’t feel any pressure to answer one way or the other. So honestly, who is the most important person in your life? When I ask that question during live seminars, most people usually respond by stating, “my spouse/partner,” or “my children,” or they name an aging parent. Some folks will sit silently in their chair, avoiding eye contact and (I can only imagine are) praying that the question is just rhetorical so they won’t be called upon to publicly share their answer. But no matter how many times I’ve asked that question (and I have asked it a lot), there’s one answer that I’ve rarely heard.

But have you ever wondered why some people can achieve their goals easily and effortlessly while others struggle with countless hardships and obstacles - often never even coming close to the finish line? Has this ever happened to you? You really wanted something and made it your goal but along the way ran into obstacle after obstacle and it seemed like opposing forces were stopping you from achieving the desired outcome. Maybe that goal was professional in nature such as growing a business or landing a better paying job. It could have been personal in nature such as improved health and fitness or becoming more financially stable. Or perhaps the goal rested in the realm of enhancing the overall quality of relationships in life. Whatever the case, the goal was set but failed to be achieved due to seemingly outside and uncontrollable forces. Does that sound familiar? If so, then this episode was made just for you.  [10-Minute Challenge] Use the SMART Goal method to create a meaningful goal.
