Bottled water products are not always healthy or safe. The plastic bottles can leach chemicals into the water, and the bottles themselves can be filled with harmful chemicals.

About Mr. Land Trust, Randy Hughes He started life out on the wrong side of the railroad tracks. Randy's father was an alcoholic and his mother was left to raise four children on a clerk's wages. None of his relatives owned their own business . . . everyone worked for wages. His father charged the weekly groceries so that the family would have food on the table. There was no stable income for any future education much less the current needs of the family. No one taught intellectual or financial direction in his schools or church. No blood relative had anything to offer other than “working for the man” at an hourly wage. Bank savings and financial security were what only the rich had. Randy was doomed for financial failure and unhappiness for the rest of his life. From Nothing to Something Randy knew that there MUST be a better way to live. He decided to break the cycle of poverty in his family genes. To succeed, he knew education came first. Randy graduated from Eastern Illinois University and began buying single-family homes for rental while in college. After college, Randy tried many different types of businesses. He always came back to the Single Family Home as the IDEAL investment. Since purchasing his first rental house in 1969, Randy hasn't looked back! Today, Randy has purchased over 200 houses. He has lived the life of having nothing and will not let that happen again. Randy's primary goal now is to teach others how to break the cycle of poverty. Randy shares his story not to get sympathy. He shares it to let the public know that when you've had nothing, you learn the value of being careful with what you earn. Randy also thinks his history is a reminder to others that if he can succeed from where...

John Ruhlin is a speaker, author, and advisor. He is the author of https://www.amazon.com/Giftology-Increase-Referrals-Strengthen-Retention/dp/1619614332 (Giftology: The Art and Science of Using Gifts to Cut Through the Noise, Increase Referrals, and Strengthen Retention). Today, he speaks about the concept of gifts and how there is a right and wrong way to give. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: It's not about the gift you give, but the human connection you build Sending unexpected gifts at unexpected times  The return on relationships Why you need to focus on your warm market first Episode Highlights: Building Human Connection Through Giftology What most people forget whether they're a sales rep or  a million-dollar business, or a billion-dollar company, is every business rises and falls on relationships. Whether that's relationships with clients, mentors, advisors, employees, and prospects, most people, however, are terrible at showing gratitude to even their spouse, let alone their top 100 clients or their top 500 employees or whatever.  At the end of the day, nobody cares about gifts, but the results in the referrals and how you show up for people matter. The gifts are the delivery vehicle for this emotional connection. It's actually not about the thing that you've given, but it's the meaning, the story, the thoughtfulness. When you're more thoughtful and more creative with how you love on people, you can spend 1/10 the amount of money and get 100 times more impact. The problem with many people, however, is they're trying to buy their way with sponsorships and advertising, as well as Facebook ads and cool sexy events and models. But you need to understand the psychology of how to influence people and how to do it either in a thoughtful way with no strings attached.  Most people give then they ask and ruin it. They actually damage relationships because they're not giving a gift but they're trying to manipulate. You need to show up for people and then show up again and then show up again. Then maybe after doing this for a year or two or three to people you already have a relationship with, you earn the right to ask for a referral. And so, don't give a gift and ask for a referral  otherwise you would only turn that relationship into a transactional deal. The Return on Relationships  When you show up for your wife, your husband, your client, or your employee, it's because you want to, and not because you had to – and all that changes everything. There's no other part of your business where you can get a better return on investment than a return on relationship. But many times, people don't understand this return on relationship. You should be inspiring all of your clients to be sales reps for you. And if you do that well, you get referrals without asking. It's not about the gift. It's about the results on the back end of loving people well. Why Start With Your Warm Market Start with the warm market because when you do, you're already taking that small fire that's already burning. Now, imagine drowning a bunch of wood with gas and there's no fire. And so, you just wasted all your resources. If you want to get somebody to be in your corner, start with a relationship first and then pour gasoline on fire that's already warm and burning.  Resources Mentioned: http://www.johnruhlin.com (www.johnruhlin.com)  https://www.amazon.com/Giftology-Increase-Referrals-Strengthen-Retention/dp/1619614332 (Giftology: The Art and Science of Using Gifts to Cut Through the Noise, Increase Referrals, and Strengthen Retention)

Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Her transition from the music industry to taking on her father's business The spiritual journey she went through to prepare for such huge responsibility Practices to help you reduce stress and get back on track Why https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Sales-Machine-Turbocharge-Relentless/dp/1591842158 (The Ultimate Sales Machine) is called the red bible The 6 Steps to the Time Management Secrets of Billionaires The plague of time management The Story of The Dream 100 The difference between a strategist and a tactician Episode Highlights: Practices to Help You Reduce Stress and Keep on Track Raise your vibrational frequency. Think positively and do positive things. Remove the negative thoughts that may get absorbed by the body and create disease. Meditation and breathing - Meditation and breathing are very powerful techniques. If it didn't cost you a dime and it only took two minutes to cut your stress in half, would that be something you're interested in? Tap into the power of sound - Listen to great music. You can actually use the sound of your own voice to clear the negative vibrations and cleanse those away. You can also sing out your positive affirmations. Why The Ultimate Sales Machine is Called the Red Bible One of Chet's philosophies is that mastery isn't about doing 4000 different things. It's about doing 12 things 4000 times. And to truly get to mastery, you have to do it over and over and over again until it's successful. At Chet Holmes International, they have 12 ways to double your sales and each one is just a skill set to master – which all stand the test of time.  The 6 Steps to Time Management Secrets of Billionaires Touch it once - Take immediate action once you hit it. List your top six things you want to do.  Determine how much time it will take you to do each step. Prioritize which ones are most important.  Put it in.  Is it okay to throw it away? One of the core competencies for doubling sales is can you become masterful at your time? Can you manage it like a machine because that's one of the biggest places where everybody messes up is their time, especially holy cow with social media that just completely ruins everything. And this thing called a phone. It's like the plague of time management.

Many billions of people don't even have the ability to tune in yet. And if you have a product, a service, a voice, or a message, the best medium on the planet. Not Forbes, not the Wall Street Journal, not the New York Times of which I have been front page on all of those. It's getting on someone's podcast. Again, the person to hear your message in your voice in your passion. podcasts are the best medium, there isn't a moment. And they've already just started. What's Your Point? When you get on the podcast, you need to get to the point. No one cares how much money you made. They care about how you can pass that information over to help them become more powerful, impactful, affluent, whatever the point is. So you have to always think about what's the point for the listener listening to you. The Value of Showing Up If you want to accomplish something in our world, you have to effectively position yourself alongside successful people. You've got to show up.  However, today, there are lots of conversations going on. And rather than having them, we avoid those for fear of looking stupid. So we don't converse and we make up these brands showing who we are supposed to be. But all we're doing is confusing the end-user looking at us. Branding today is a myth. Because what really branding means is what people say about you when you've left the room.

Talk to people that Chris Krimitsos has spent any amount of time with and you'll hear descriptions like “changemaker,” “motivator,” “catalyst for change,” and “inspiration.” Whether it's a major corporation's CEO or a solopreneur, Chris is passionate about being a difference maker. Unlike the featured guest who comes in and delivers a keynote and leaves, slipping out the back door like a national celebrity, Chris Krimitsos is the passionate professional who hangs around talking to anyone who wants his time – to listen, evaluate, and affect change. Chris brings the unique perspective of success from both sides of an event. He understands the challenges of the organizer that needs to move an audience, having himself facilitated over 2,000 events that have brought together business owners, toward economic growth, under the umbrella of Tampa Bay Business Owners, which he founded in 2008. That success regionally was the springboard to launching a national event, Podfest Multimedia Expo, which he grew to over 975 attendees in just five years, with an expectation of 1,500-plus in year six, thanks to his ability to communicate key messaging to that community. Channeling that energy into creating a documentary, now he is making an impact globally. Under the CK Productions banner, as a filmmaker and producer, Chris successfully birthed The Messengers: A Podcast Documentary, which obtained worldwide distribution and theatrical screenings. This after having hosted and produced two TV shows earlier in his career. Of note was one of those projects being archived in the Library of Congress. With a unique skill set programmed to stay out in front of rapid change, Chris Krimitsos – as a speaker, as a business leader, and as a source for growth – is empowering audiences toward better opportunities for succeeding in business in the 21st century.
