We are living in extraordinary times. The world is gripped with fear. It's easy to get lost in that, but far harder to stay laser-focused on using this as a platform for growth and prosperity. The truth? Many people will waste this opportunity to let their music shine. Don't let that happen. Don't die with your music still inside of you. Tune in to hear why this is such an important message during such trying times. 

No matter where you are in your business or in your life, you must do this one thing if you truly want to succeed. Those who can do this ONE THING the greatest, are the ones who will reach the highest heights in anything that they choose to do.

The most important tool you have at your disposal to achieve anything in business or in life, is your own brain (mind). Your mindset will determine the quality and the outcome of every are of your life. But rather than be a victim to the negative scripts and limiting beliefs that are holding you back, learn how to hack the brain. Tune in now to find out how.

Inside, you'll discover how to attract more leads and get more customers without spending more money. Pure fire.

There are many metrics that matter in business. Many. But there are 2 that are vital to your ability to grow and scale your business. If you don't know these two numbers implicitly, you're wasting your time in business. Know them. Harness them. And leverage them to help fuel your growth.

One of the most inspirational stories in business is that of Jaime Cross and how her belief, hard work and persistence took her from survival mode to thriving with MIG Soap. This is an absolute must-listen no matter who you are or what business you're in. 

There's a failure-to-success loop that we all go through. I liken it to a rollercoaster ride. We fail, work hard, start to taste some level of success, then sabotage our own results. However, we often don't do this on purpose. It happens subconsciously in the mind. What most people don't understand is that it's part of the process. Failure is almost necessary for success. In fact, the bigger the failure, the bigger the potential for eventual success. Tune in to learn more.

Success in business truly takes nerves of steel. Not just in understanding your demographic and in your product-market fit. But more over, in your unwavering belief in your ability to succeed. Human beings are very interesting in that we can write our future as long as we have the right amount of belief and are persistent enough. However, you truly do need to have nerves of steel to blaze a pathway forward. Tune in to hear this important message.

We often overthink things, leading us to incorrectly assess most situations. Not just to do with others. But also to do with ourselves. Extricating yourself out of that prison is hard. It comes with a near-lifetime of conditioning. Yet, if you just stop overthinking things, and stop caring so much about how you look in front of others, you will experience true freedom and liberty of the mind, body and spirit.

Sometimes, when you're pushing and pushing, trying to reach your lofty goals, it's easy to feel frustrated. And it's easy to lose your peace. When that happens, we veer off track on tangents and recovering from that is incredibly difficult. When that happens, you lose sight of what's important. And you can't see the proverbial forest through the trees. That's why you need to implement the 5+5 rule. Not sure what that is? Tune in now to learn more.

There are lessons you learn along the way in life that echo throughout the annals of history. These life lessons have an enormous impact on your business. Because, as entrepreneurs, we are heavily weighed down by the series of events in our lives that have lead us to where we are today. Understand and embody these life lessons and you will truly take things to the next level.

The biggest mistake that we often make is that we fail to pay ourselves first. When you don't pay yourself, it's easy to spend your money on conveniences and luxuries. Rather, you have to setup the right habits and systems for not only automating your savings, but also your investing. It's not about sitting on a pile of cash. It's about moment-of-opportunity cash. Not sure what I mean? Tune in to learn more.

Want to make more money? Sell more products or services? Eventually have more freedom or to automate your income? Great. All you need to do is to build pressure up in the marketplace. When you can build up substantial pressure in the marketplace, you can sell just about anything. What do I mean? Tune in to learn more.

Are you a solopreneur? Or are you a business owner? What's the difference? Plenty. Most of the time, we start a business to gain more freedom, get more time and to earn more money. The reality is that it's often the furthest thing from the truth. We spend much more time and make far less money. But it doesn't have to always be that way. Systems and processes are vital in helping you make the leap from a solopreneur to a business owner. Tune in to hear more.

Are you the smartest person in the room? If you are, you're in the wrong room. Instead, you have to get in the right room. You shouldn't be the smartest person in that room. In fact, you shouldn't even be close to the smartest or most accomplished person in the room. Instead, you have to reach two levels up and get in the room with people who are exponentially further ahead in business than you are. If you can get in that room, that's when explosive progress occurs.

How much effort do you really put in to your business? Are you really working as hard as you should be, even if no one is looking over your shoulder? And, if someone is looking over your shoulder and you're working for someone else, how much value are you really delivering to them? You see, in business and in life, your level of effort will always dictate the level of your results. Period.

Human beings have a pack mentality. We like to follow the pack. And we latch on to things that might not serve us, including concepts, principles and events, simply because we're following the crowd. Following the crowd will only get you so far. Instead, you have to learn how to buck the trend and go against the grain. How exactly do you do that? Tune in to listen right now.

It's not what you know. It's who you know. We've all heard it before. But how many of us heed this advice as entrepreneurs? Usually, we don't. We try to do it all ourselves and we think that our intellect is going to serve us and propel us forward. Well, that will only get you so far in business and in life. Tune in now to listen to this episode.

Are you asking the right questions? Because, if you're not asking the right questions, do you sincerely expect to get the results you're after? While there's no such thing as a wrong (or dumb) question, questions worded the wrong way, won't give you stellar results. Instead, you have to learn to alter the question and ask it the right way. Tune in to learn more.

Whether you believe you can do something or you believe you cannot, you're right. At the end of the day, we are the culmination of our beliefs. But we're also held back by our disbelief in something. These self-imposed limitations very much direct the sway and outcome of our lives. So what can you do about it? Tune in to learn more.

How much time do you have left? And how are you using that time? That might sound morbid to you, but most people aren't in much of a hurry in life. But if you're serious about success, you have to understand how to collapse time. When you learn this concept, not only is epic success possible, it's actually inevitable. Tune in to learn more.

It's easy to get overwhelmed in business. When there's so much to do and seemingly so little time, it's no wonder why. But there are other things that impact your tendency to get overwhelmed. If you just want to scream from the mountaintops at times, there could be something deeper and more intrinsic that requires your attention. Tune in to learn more.

Where do you spend your time these days? I'm not talking about your job or what you do during the middle of your day. Where do you spend your "free" time? How do you invest it? Or, do you squander it away binge watching Netflix or endlessly surfing through social media? It's an important question because time is precious. Most people say time is money. In fact, time is far more valuable than money. You don't get much of this thing called time. Tune in now to listen to this important episode.

It's never too late. Never. That's the truth. No matter how old you are, where you're from or what you've achieved in the past, it's never too late. People will always tell you that it is. They'll say you don't have enough money, time, connections, skills, or you name it, they'll say it. Don't listen. Because, it's never too late. And the only limitations we have are the limitations we impose upon ourselves.

Probably one of the hardest things we can possibly do in life is to actually face our fears. It's hard to go charging into the unknown when you're so afraid of the outcome. But the ability to face your fears and to train your mind to understand that it's normal to have certain trepidations will help to exponentiate your results in any area of your business or your life.

Most people expect things too quickly. Maybe that's the type of society that we live in. But good things take time. And by having the wrong expectation for something to transpire faster than it does will certainly set yourself up for complete frustration. In turn, you'll end up giving up rather than sticking it out. Always expect to put in more effort and work and energy than you initially expect. Much more.

Too many of us worry about the struggle. We look at it with suspect, fearing that it will last forever and that progress will never come. The truth is that the struggle is real, and it's most certainly necessary to propel you forward. Rather than worrying or fearing the struggle, you have to embrace it. Do not run from it. Beckon it with a grateful heart and understand that whatever it is that you're going through, it too shall pass. As long as you don't give up, the struggle will define and shape you.

Our beliefs have pure power and sway over the course and direction of our lives. They plant the seeds for our thoughts, influence our decisions, and dictate many of our actions. Once you understand how to wield the true power of belief, anything is possible. Literally anything. Not only in business. But in every area of your life.

Want to succeed in business or in life? You have to surround yourself with power players. Not people who are below you. People who are far above you. Because, they're the ones who will push you and help to make the dream into a reality.

We all have feedback loops that we run. They're like the soundtracks of our minds. Think, and you shall become, so goes the saying. But if you want to extricate yourself from a situation and exponentiate your results, you have to train your brain. You can't expect to put in garbage and spit out gold. It doesn't work that way. So how do you train your brain for true success? Tune in to listen now.

Are you a business owner? Or are you a solopreneur? Most business owners wear all the hats and are responsible for every aspect of the business. Even those with a few employees are not necessarily free. The truth is that a business requires so much of your time and effort that it becomes more of a job than a regular 9-to-5. So how do you scale and escape? If you're working tirelessly without progress, you have to understand the mechanics behind building a business that doesn't require 100% of your time.

Time is money. You've heard that before. But it's not necessarily true because time is far more valuable than money. You only have a finite amount of time in this world. And the clock is ticking. And rather than directly exchanging your limited amount of time for money, learn how to leverage time to build true wealth. How? Through passive income. No, it's not a pipe dream. It's real and it's how the rich get considerably richer over time. Tune in to learn more.

Most of us are involved in the wrong type of competition. When you're enthralled in the wrong kind, it sends you reeling in the wrong direction. You go off on tangents, unable to regain your balance. So what is the right kind of competition? And, how can we use this to push us forward rather than to hold us back? Tune in now to hear this important episode.

Jim Rohn once said that formal education will make you a living, while self-education will make you a fortune. But how many of us pay attention to this. How many of us leverage and utilize this concept? General knowledge is not enough. That's the type of knowledge you gain in school. True fortunes are founded on specialized knowledge, the type created through self-education.

True growth only comes in one way. It's not complicated. Nor is it convoluted. There's nothing confusing about it. Yet, it's something that most of us shy away from rather than embrace. The fact is that the most successful people in the world have used this foundation to propel themselves forward. What is it? Tune in to learn more.

Do you set deadlines? If you don't, why not? Without a deadline, there's no real sense of urgency. And there's no way to achieve the big thing you want to achieve without it. And, yes, there is a proper way to leverage deadlines to move you closer to your goals. Not further away. Understand and harness it if you want to achieve those big and lofty goals you set for yourself.

How much do you desire something? Not sure? Well, your answer will dictate a lot. It determines your results. Whether you get there or you don't largely depends on how badly you want it, so to speak. Yes, there are other things that get in the way. But desire is supreme. It's at the forefront. The center, if you will. How willing and able you are to hold that desire in front of you for long enough is what counts.

How do you turn your thoughts into your reality? Is it possible to do this? Can you actually alter the sway and direction of your life or your business by focusing your mind on certain thoughts? It's not science fiction. But there is a specific way to do it for optimal results. Tune in to learn more.

We all know how hard it is to achieve big goals. It takes time. Effort. Hard work. And determination. It's no walk in the park. That's for certain. But what happens when you feel so inspired and motivated at the outset, and then suddenly experience these plateaus that make you question everything? What do you do? How do you react? Where do you go from there? Tune in to find out right now.

Want to win friends? How about influence people? Well, it's not easy. Especially if you're an introvert like I am. But there is a way. It might feel uncomfortable for you, depending on your personality type. But when you harness and implement these strategies and tactics, it's easy to win just about anyone over.

Most people don't make the decision to buy something right away. It takes them time. They need to, "think about it." But rather than running away with your tail between your legs, you need to know that the money is in the follow up. It doesn't matter the size of your email list or anything else. If you can follow up and not relent, you'll make the sale.

What is infinite intelligence? Is it real or something that's just entirely fabricated? And how can this invisible thing that we can't see or hear or touch, transform our businesses and our lives? How can it take us from broke and hopeless, to rich and on top of the world? It's truly something that's inexplicable. While it can't be seen, we know for a fact that it's there. Find out how to tap into it and use it to take things to the next level no matter what your current situation is.

It's easy to overcomplicate things. We often do that. Our overactive minds take over and they go reeling and spinning in a multitude of directions. But here's the truth. Success often involves doing just one thing and one thing only. Just one thing separates you from the life you're living and the one you constantly dream about. Want to know what it is? Tune in to hear this episode right now.

When we think about doing something, we often overthink it. In fact, it overwhelms us. We imagine all the steps we need to take to implement that one thing into our lives. And that leads to not doing it. But inches turn into miles. When you understand this concept, you can implement virtually anything into your life. Literally, anything. Tune in to learn more.

Begin with the end in mind. It's one of the 7 habits of highly effective people. Written of course by none other than Dr. Stephen R. Covey. But what does it really mean? And how do you begin with the end in mind? Tune in to find out now.
