Subscription Maker Podcast

As we move from crisis to crisis, most of us long for a time when we could control our lives, plan for our futures, and make meaningful contacts. Connections that would benefit us spiritually, sustain us mentally and provide us with a foundation for building a more successful career. If this interests you, stick around to hear from someone who can help you take ownership of your life and create a better, more satisfying future. Hey, I'm your host Zachary Alexander. And I want to thank you for joining us on this episode of the SubscriptionMaker podcast. It's my pleasure to speak with Aaron Walker. Aaron mentors clients who want to make the most of their days and live to the fullest. From business success to spiritual development, Aaron provides guidance that helps clients reach their full potential. Big Takeaway Impact is Everything! Simply working to put points on the board won't scratch that inch like having an impact on other people. Once you reach that goal that you've been pouring your heart into can leave you feeling empty. Not meeting that challenge can be worse for otherwise successful people. We see that in Olympic Athletes. They are often prone to depression, win or lose after the big event. Now for me, I believe that micro-exits are a worthy form of impact. I believe in turning a prototype or minimum-value product into a business and selling it. To me, that's impact. You may not be able to buy a private island, but it may improve your life.    

Today we are talking with Michael Short. Mike is a Business Relationship Coach. Author and motivational speaker. He helps clients find opportunities and tools to increase direct referral sales. I'm your host Zachary Alexander. Don't forget to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. And check out some of our past episodes. Building better business relationships is one of the things that end up being on every independent professional's yearly goals. Whether you're a business owner or simply independently minded doesn't matter. We all need better relationships to be successful. So, we've got just the expert to help you achieve at least one of your goals. Big Takeaway Treat your mastermind group like your biggest client because lack of commitment is why most masterminds groups fail. Your mastermind partners should represent some of your most valued assets —career assets. Nobody succeeds in business alone. They need partners who vouch for their integrity in rooms they can't get into otherwise. Just to be clear, masterminds are more than just simple referral networks. They provide access to points of view that can speed up your decision-making processes. They can open doors to new opportunity spaces and give you the strength to abandon those that no longer meet your needs. Especially the ones that you nurtured so diligently in the past.

Today, we are excited to sit down with Debbie Collard, a top executive coach and partner in a leadership development program. Through her guidance, she helps business executives reach their highest potential. In this interview, we will be digging into the secrets for success that Debbie has gathered from her many years of experience working with successful executives. You will be treated to an inspiring chat with one of the leading voices in executive coaching! Welcome to the SubscriptionMaker Podcast. This is your host Zachary Alexander.

During uncertain times and economic slowdowns, it's more important than ever to unlock your potential. Doing so can provide you with the resources needed to thrive despite market conditions. If that interests you, we've got just the expert. Big Takeaway Don't change just because there's a new fad. Following the newest trend can be alluring. After all, who wants to be left behind or out of touch? Unfortunately, the latest shiny objects often result in lost time and effort and a lack of tangible results. Instead of conforming to modern trends, it's important to stand firm and focus on what works best. Many failing companies tend to hop around from one idea or product service to the next resulting in a lack of consistency. As Professor Edwards Deming would say, having a stable process helps maintain quality and prevent mistakes. Well-defined processes alone won't win you a Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. However, it will save from doing a lot of rework. And allow you to contrate on improving your inputs.

The current climate has put an unprecedented strain on businesses and organizations. And many of you are looking for answers on attracting and retaining talent to help meet your company goals. So, we've got just the expert for you. Big Takeaway Culture starts at the top. Only when leaders take responsibility can we begin to address the many issues exacerbated by people who think they're above it all. Independent professionals can no longer afford to address only those challenges that support their brand. You'll have to listen to the entire podcast to get the rest of Elaine's insights.
