The Constructive Liberty Podcast

During the speech, the speaker focuses on discussing the top five common mistakes that most people commit while starting their small business and particularly as a solo entrepreneur. The first and foremost mistake that the speaker highlights is the failure to identify the target audience. To avoid this mistake, the speaker suggests researching and defining the audience using various methods. The speaker then moves on to discuss the second mistake, which is neglecting to build a solid business plan. It is essential to have a detailed business plan that outlines objectives, strategies, and goals, as it can help avoid future problems.The speaker also emphasized the third mistake, which is ignoring the importance of financial management. Having a financial management system in place can help the business stay on track and make informed decisions. The fourth mistake that the speaker discusses is underestimating the power of marketing. A business may have a great product or service, but without effective marketing, it may not reach its full potential. The speaker suggests utilizing different marketing strategies that would best fit the business's needs.The fifth mistake that the speaker mentions is trying to do everything alone. The speaker suggests outsourcing tasks that are outside of the business owner's expertise. It is essential to identify personal strengths and weaknesses to identify where it is better to outsource.To avoid these mistakes and achieve success, the speaker provides several pieces of advice. Joining networking groups and mentorship programs can help connect with other businesses and subcontractors to outsource work and learn from their experiences. The speaker also highlights the importance of seeking help whenever necessary.Finally, the speaker invites the audience to join the Building Small Biz group, which consists of weekly videos on building small businesses. In conclusion, the speaker emphasizes that avoiding these five common mistakes can help entrepreneurs in creating a solid foundation for their small business and increasing their chances of success.

In this episode, I make an announcement to my listeners of the Constructive Liberty podcast. I explain that due to recent changes in my life and a busy schedule, I have to make some adjustments to the frequency of my podcast episodes. Although I love doing the podcast and believe it has been beneficial for both myself and my listeners, circumstances have led me to the decision of temporarily halting production.I express my appreciation for the opportunities the podcast has provided me, allowing me to improve my communication skills and grow as a person. I hope that my listeners have noticed positive changes as well and that the podcast has had a positive impact on their lives.While I understand that this news may be disappointing for my audience, I assure them that it is the reality of the situation and a necessary decision for the time being. However, I offer alternative ways to stay connected with me and follow my journey, such as reaching out to me on social media and checking out my other podcasts, Finding the Next Level and Building Small Business.I express my gratitude for the understanding of my listeners and encourage them to continue their own personal growth and success.

Walking in Powerful Masculinity Ken Eash Shane Tebeck joins me to talk about removing the things that hold us back from personal and business growth so we can thrive. He says: growth is simple when we're connected to God and abiding, but we tend to get in our own ways by getting our needs met by anything but God. It's a trust and identity issue. God is good and his goodness is pointed towards us. AND we're sons of God created with Heaven's DNA.Follow the Constructive Liberty podcast and join in the conversation:Telegram channelTelegram groupMeweFB pageYT channelOdysee channelRumbleConstructive Liberty website Here's a few ways you can support the show:Share the show with a friendLeave us a 5-star review: Apple, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, PodchaserUnderstand yourself and others a little better, learn the why and how behind the things people do, with a personality assessment Listen on a podcast 2.0 app like FountainBuy me a book from my Amazon wish listDonate some Auponic credits to the showConnect with Ken (your host) here:InstagramFacebookTwitterTikTokMeWeGabThis podcast is hosted by Captivate, try it yourself for free.

How to Sharpen Your Social Skills Ken Eash Do you consider yourself a social person? I think on some level, we all are. Or more correctly, we all need to be once in awhile. Even the most introverted and independent of us, has certain social commitments they have to deal with at times. If you find that you struggle in these situations, you can certainly use these nine powerful tips to help sharpen your social skills. 1 Start Small One of the best ways to sharpen your social sills is by starting small in your day-to-day life. Small talk is a great way to sharpen your social skills, and it doesn't take much extra effort. The next time a neighbor says good morning, be willing to engage in a short chat. 2 Ask Open-Ended Questions Open-ended questions are a great way to enhance your social interactions. Instead of asking questions that end with a quick "yes" or "no", ask questions that require more thoughtful answers. This will help keep people engaged and you won't feel like you have to carry the conversation on your own.3 Seek Like-Minded PeopleIf you struggle in social situations, why not try to make things easier for yourself? Try to find like-minded people that share similar interests as you. You will naturally feel more at ease when you are talking about the things you already love. 4 Develop Your Active Listening Skills Social skills are just as much about listening as they are about speaking. You should ensure that you are a good active listener. Active listening means making eye contact, using other non-verbal cues and otherwise seeming interested in the person speaking to you. 5 Become a Better Storyteller Being able to tell a great story is one of the best ways to sharpen your social skills. No matter how awkward or anxious you might feel, if you can tell a story that gets everyone on the edge of their seat or busting a gut you will be remembered. A great way to practice storytelling is actually by writing them. 6 Learn to Read Body Language You don't have to be a master of body language yourself, but you should learn the basics. When you know what to look out for, you will know how people are responding to you. You will know when to stop talking, as well as when to continue. You will know if people are engaged, or annoyed. 7 Plan a Few Good Conversation Starters If you struggle in social situations, make sure you have a couple good conversation starters or stories in your back pocket. To begin with, this will make you more confident in your social interaction. It will also ensure you have something to say when the conversation dwindles. 8 Shut Down The Distractions This is going to be hard to hear for some people, but you should probably turn your phone off. It's impossible to have meaningful social interactions if you are constantly checking your phone. If you can't bring yourself to turn your phone off, at least keep it in your pocket. 9 You Get What You Give Like most things in life, when it comes to social interactions, you get back what you put in. If you want people to be interested in you, then show interest in them. If you want people to be kind, then show them kindness first. Social interactions are most pleasant when they are reciprocal.ACTIONABLESTEPS1 Start With Small Talk. Social skills are like any other skill, they take practice. Try making more small talk with the acquaintances already in your life. This will let you practice your social skills, while enriching your current relationships.2 What Are Your Interests? What are some things that really get you passionate or excited? Maybe you should focus your social interactions on people that share these values.3 Think of a Few Conversation...

Today we're talking about my #1 Key to a life of IMPACT: MindsetSpecifically, Growth VS Fixed MindsetWe'll talk about:Why Mindset is ImportantWhat is a fixed mindsetWhat is a growth mindsetGrowth VS fixed mindsetWhy mindset?What's the number one factor that determines whether or not someone succeeds at achieving a goal? Do you know? Is it genetics? Luck? What about skills or natural talent? Hard work has to be in there somewhere, right? How about networking and getting the right degree?All of these factors are important, some more so than others, but none hold the number one spot. So, what's number one? If you guessed mindset, you're right. Research has shown that mindset is a better predictor of future success than every other factor you can consider, including working hard and natural talent.Fixed mindsetThere are two basic types of mindset: fixed mindset and growth mindset. Of the two, growth mindset is the preferred one, but that's not to say there is anything inherently wrong with having somewhat of a fixed mindset; it's just a different way of viewing the world.Furthermore, few people have a pure fixed mindset or a pure growth mindset. Most people have a combination of the two, and they might have different aspects of each in different parts of their lives. A person's mindset is also changeable and changes naturally through time or due to conscious effort. Growth mindsetA growth mindset is one that believes in change and improvement. Someone who has a growth mindset believes that their skills and talents can be improved through hard work, practice, and dedication. Natural talent is a gift of genetics, but it alone is not enough to make someone a master of their craft, and even the most talented person can get better through practice. People with a growth mindset have a love of learning and never stop trying to learn new things, even many years after they get out of school. They're always trying to understand the latest methods in their field, improving their skills at a sport, or learning something new.Growth VS Fixed mindsetGrowth mindset and fixed mindset might seem like opposites, and in many ways they are, but there's more to it than that. These mindsets are different ways of looking at the world and of processing and using the information that we are presented with. From a personal development standpoint, a growth mindset is preferred, but that doesn't mean it's better than a fixed mindset in other ways. Both have their advantages and disadvantages and having more of a fixed mindset or more of a growth mindset doesn't determine what type of person someone is.Membership for solo entrepreneur men: link

15 Insights To Overcome Your Fears, Doubts And Apprehensions Of Working On Yourself1 Live With Purpose If there is one way to override doubt, fear, and apprehension it's with purpose. Your doubt might actually be a symptom of your lack of purpose. The why of what you do is important because the why is what provides you with momentum. If you hone in on that this will help you weather any rough road you encounter. From here on out, when you feel self-doubt creeping in, check your purpose. Fear, doubt, and apprehension can be crippling. To start overcoming yours, find your purpose, determine your values, and get to know yourself. That's part of the personal development process, but it's also something you can start separately from self-improvement. That process should help you ease some of those doubts and fears you feel about personal development. 2 Your Inner Circle Matters Who do you spend the majority of your time with? The company you keep can heavily influence you, whether that is positive or negative. If you spend your time with Debbie Downers, then there's a good chance you are going to turn into something of a Debbie Downer yourself. If you are constantly surrounded by Positive Pattys, then it stands to reason you will also start being a more positive person. Moods are contagious. Think about it. Have you ever worked somewhere that everyone is on tenterhooks waiting to see what mood the boss is in? If they breeze in with a good morning everyone breathes a sigh of relief and it's a normal day. If they storm in with a face of thunder the mood in the entire building shifts. Your inner circle has that much sway with you and if they are negative, miserable, or unkind, then they are going to stimulate those fears, doubts, and apprehensions you feel about personal development. Moreover, they might want to hold you back because they won't want to be left behind by your growth. What you want in your inner circle is people who lift you up, encourage you, motivate you, pick you up, brush you off, and run alongside you cheering you on when you need it most. Nothing is more important to your journey to overcoming fear, doubt, and apprehension than a strong social network that will support you through anything. It isn't a one-way street, of course, you should be that kind of person to your inner circle as well. Strong, positive relationships are important so nurture them. Those are the people who will be with you always and it's beneficial to both your personal development and your mental health to take care of those relationships. 3 Avoid Making Comparisons You cannot rely on other people to make your decisions, nor can you expect them to steer you in the right direction. The only person who knows which direction is right for you is you. Your personal development journey is your own and only you know what is right for you. With that being said, you cannot grow by making comparisons. It doesn't matter what your next-door neighbor is doing. It doesn't matter what your siblings, best friends, or arch-nemesis is up to either. Their judgment of you does not matter, their accomplishments do not matter, and if you think they do you will always feel inadequate. That inadequacy will immerse you in fear, doubt, and apprehension, and with those weighing you down, how will you grow?

So many times, and so many ways, our personal development can get derailed. Sometimes it never even gets railed to begin with.Creating a personal development plan can help people unlock their potential and make a lasting impact on their lives. It can help people find their purpose, develop their strengths, and gain the confidence to step outside their comfort zone. Additionally, it can improve their awareness of themselves and how life events affect them. Having a personal development plan can help people live up to their God-given potential and lead a more intentional life. Such plans can also help them discover their purpose and become more fulfilled. Creating a plan can help set goals and define a clear path towards achieving them, giving people the motivation and determination to work towards their goals and make a meaningful difference in their lives.Today I give you 5 benefits of creating a personal development plan.Five Reasons You Need a Personal Development PlanA personal development plan assists you in finding your purpose and developing your strengths. It also gives you the confidence needed to get out of your comfort zone. A good personal development plan will also help you improve your self-awareness. This combination will ensure that you know your potential and live up to it with intention.1 Discover Your PurposeOn the road to self-discovery, most people want to know why they are here. If you want to know your purpose in life, focus on your personal development and create a written personal development plan to help you find it. As you discover what makes you think the way you do, challenge your thoughts, and decide what facts you'll use to make sound decisions. When you do this, you may come across additional information that will lead you to closer to your purpose. You are more likely to feel good about the ideas you have and actions you take each day because you know they will have a particular impact. 2 Develop Your StrengthsOnce you discover your strengths as you study yourself and pay close attention to how you feel about your actions, you'll know what to develop. Focusing on what you are already good at is always preferable to focus on where you are lacking. Getting additional training, practicing, and learning from others regarding the things you're already good at doing is a much more pleasurable and successful way to approach your life. You're naturally good at something that gives you joy and makes you better. So, you may as well use your natural gifts. Get Out of Your Comfort Zone While you do want to focus on what you are already good at doing, sometimes it takes time to see what that is. Getting out of your comfort zone has nothing to do with forcing yourself to focus on things you aren't good at doing. Instead, it may mean simply showing someone else what you're good at.Boost Your Confidence As you develop yourself, you'll start experiencing success, and that experience will boost your confidence exponentially. Part of personal development is focusing on learning to have a positive mindset, taking the best care of yourself, and reveling in your skills and experience. When your confidence is strong, you'll free yourself from paralyzing self-doubt and negative thoughts and emotions. You can't help but become strong when you craft and follow a plan based on self-discovery and your goals. Improve Your Self-AwarenessSince personal development is all about you, getting to know who you are is especially important. Knowing who you allow...

TONY BRASUNAS, independent journalist and author of the forthcoming RED, WHITE & BLIND: The Truth About Censorship in America and the Rise of Independent Media, which aims to explore media distortion and disinformation in the U.S. as well as the upswell of independent media that has risen up to combat it.An independent journalist, Tony Brasunas was censored and sacked by Huffington Post in 2016 for covering the Democratic Primary from the wrong perspective. He's been researching censorship, media distortion, and disinformation in America for five years now, with the distinct hope that the underlying facts about "fake news" in America -- and the disinformation that is peddled every day in our corporate media -- will inspire Americans to exercise and defend our rights to Free Speech and a Free Press. He grew up in an intentional community in West Virginia, spent an adventurous year in China being lied to by their media, and lives now with his wife and son in Sebastopol, California.
