The Triumphant Life Podcast

Today's episode is coming to you way off the beaten path—from 250 acres of open land in Texas. No fancy mic setup, no script—just me, some hawks flying overhead, and yeah… a herd of cows that tried to run me down. (true story!)But in the middle of all that, I had this moment of real, raw gratitude. And I had to hit record.This episode is a reminder—for both of us—to slow down for a second and actually see how far we've come. If you're a business owner, creator, or just someone always chasing the next big milestone, you probably don't give yourself enough credit. I get it. I've done it too.Whether you just had your first $10K month, left a toxic job, lost 10 pounds, launched your first funnel, or survived a crazy year—pause. Take a deep breath. Celebrate that. Not everything has to be about grinding to $10 million and a private jet.If your dream is $20K/month and more beach days, that's a badass goal. If it's 100K/year and breakfast with your kids every morning, that's success in my book.Take a walk, take a breath, and take this episode in. You've come a long way and I'm proud of you.

Yo, what's up my friends—Nicky T here, and today's episode is all about reminding you of one simple truth: Success for you doesn't have to look like anyone else's. There's no one “right” way to build your business, grow your audience, or create success. You don't have to do what the loudest voice on the internet says.You don't have to follow some guru's 17-step content plan.You don't have to hustle in a way that burns you out.There are a million ways to win—and the only thing that matters is finding the approach that feels right for you, fits your lifestyle, and moves you toward your goals.In this episode, I challenge you to take a step back, zoom out, and ask:- Where do I actually want to go?- What strategies and tools feel good for me?- What's the pace, the style, the vibe that fits my life?...This is your permission to stop comparing, stop feeling like you're doing it wrong, and start owning your path.Success gets a lot more fun when you do it your way.Tune in and let's go carve your own wave

In this episode, I'm driving from San Diego to Phoenix and you're riding shotgun. Just you, me, and some real talk about why most business owners are posting all the time… and still not getting leads. I unpack the exact social media strategy I've used to generate thousands of leads and millions in revenue not by posting more, but by posting with a plan.Most people are just throwing stuff up and hoping it works. That's not a strategy—that's a waste of time. So if you're tired of getting zero results from your content, this one's for you.In this episode, we'll cover:✅ Why your content probably isn't working✅ The 3-part video script that actually gets leads✅ How to stop being “random” and start being intentional✅ What to post, how to say it, and how to stand out✅ Real-deal examples from the road (literally)Tune in and we'll break it all down!

A good mentor is short cut to success in anything you want to do. They've already gone before you and figured things out and can cut down your learning curve and fast forward your results. I've been very fortunate to have great mentors in my life and the ideas they've shared have added millions of dollars to my bottom line. And that's what we unpack in this episde!

On this episode, we had my good friend Loren King in studio and we unpacked "The Human Experience" with her. We chatted about having a mission that is bigger than yourself, making an impact in this world, taking risks, pivoting, betting on yourself and surrounding yourself with other people who are all doing the same thing! 

In this episode, we unpack how Kevin added $500K of revenue to his HVAC business in the past 6 months using his lead follow up strategies. He also just wrote a brand new book called "Conquer the Follow Up" and we chat all about that too!

This is a super special episode with our guest Casey Schultz. One year ago, Casey was touring office/studio space for his video agency. He took a video, telling himself he'd be moved into this space one day. And one year later, him and I are sitting in his brand new filming studio at that exact location he filmed a year before! I stopped in to see the new space, drop off a gift and celebrate his huge accomplishment and he asked me to mic up and record. But I had a better idea... we put the mic on him and Casey got to be the very first podcast interview and tell his story in his new studio! There's so much to learn from this talented young man and his ability to not only set goals, but to turn those dreams into reality! See you in the episode.

I just read a quote, “The entire point of life is to take chances on dreams that seem crazy to most, but feel like destiny to you. -Case Kenny” and that inspired today's episode. I'm asked all day long for a new strategy, hack or tactic to grow your business or be more productive. It's NOT about a new strategy. It's about the WHY. It's about the direction you are going and chasing down the dreams that excite you! And that's exactly what we unpack in today's episode. I truly hope this helps you stop and spend some time on your big dreams and the things that set your soul on fire!

The question I'm asked most is about what I actually do for my business. People see me give speeches, read my book and listen to this show. So for today's episode, I thought it would be super fun to hop on and share with you exactly what I do! I also share with you more about my journey and the path that led me here as well. The simple answer is this. I am a business consultant and we help small business owners build and grow their businesses. But to me, it's so much more than that. I am on a mission to help Entrepreneurs crush their goals in not just business, but in their personal lives as well. So I founded "The Triumphant Business Coaching Co" and have built an entire coaching program and community to help the Triumphant Entrepreneurs of this world! And that's exactly what we cover, plus some cool stories and more of my insights here in episode #61.

Come have a Diet Coke with me and let's have a real conversation about success. So many people these days want things NOW and want to short cut and microwave their success. Instead of doing the work and getting real results, instead they try and posture and show a look of success that is bigger than they are. They "fake it" until they make it. I get it, I've been there and did this too when I was a young 25 year old CEO in the real estate game. But looking back now, the only way to show that image of success, is to actually go earn it. You can't microwave the lessons and short cut the process. It's supposed to be hard and you have to earn that big success story. And that's what makes it all so special once you do! And that's exactly what we unpack in this episode. So get something cold to drink and come hang with me for the next 13 minutes and let's unpack this topic. 

In business and life, setbacks are going to happen. There's no way around it. But those setbacks can be the catalyst for growth. They can be the uncomfortable push you need to make changes and slingshot you to the next level. And that's what we cover in this episode.

The highest and best version of you, is waiting on the other side of FEAR. The things that scare you, are actually the things that shape you into that BEST version of you! And if it doesn't scare you, it's not big enough to CHANGE you. That's exactly what we chat about in today's episode and how to lean into the fear and grow into the best version of you!

In this episode, we dive into the topic of "FREEDOM" as a business owner and what that looks like to you. I think as business owners, we tend to forget that it is your business that you started and created. And with that business, you are allowed to design it how you want it and allow you to live a life that makes you happy and fulfilled. And that's exactly what conversation we have in this episode.

This episode is taken from a LIVESTREAM I did in my Facebook Group (@GetClientsonSocialMedia). In it, I taught a quick lesson and cover these 2 things: #1. How to create more content on a daily basis and use it to GET CLIENTS and sales. #2. Why getting uncomfortable is the ONLY way to build your brand and grow on social media.

I am currently reading "$100M Leads" by Alex Hormozi and it is one of the best books about business and marketing I've ever read. In it, he has a quote that really hit home for me: "It's amazing what you can accomplish if you don't stop once you start". This is simple, yet one of the most profound quotes I've ever read. In this episode, I unpack this quote and give you my thoughts on Entrepreneurship, staying the course and not quitting on your dreams when things get hard or don't happen right away.

I believe that every business and brand should start their own podcast/show. It is one of the fastest ways to build authority, gain credibility and share your message. And in this episode, I share with you why!

We all have ONE BIG PROBLEM that is holding you back in your business or life. I have them, you have them. Odds are you had this same problem 3 months ago too. And if something doesn't change, you'll have this same problem 3 months from now too! So in today's episode, we take your #1 PROBLEM head on!

This is the deepest and most real episode I've ever recorded and I truly hope it makes an impact in your life. In it, we talk about not giving up on your goals and dreams, even when it gets hard and even when people tell you that you are going to fail.

Come join us for a really good conversation between my guest Brandon Cerpa (@BrandonGetsYouLeads) and myself all about why you need a sales funnel for your business, sales funnels VS websites and how to grow and scale your business through marketing systems.

As you are chasing big goals and dreams, EVERYONE has an opinion on what YOU should do. But their opinions don't matter. The ONLY opinion that matters is yours!

Tune in and we'll share with you how to make 2024 the biggest year ever!

When you starting chasing big goals and dreams, everyone wants to give you their opinion on what "YOU" should do. But these are YOUR goals and dreams, not theirs. So their opinion shouldn't matter.

Tangible assets are defined as "resources with a physical form and an objective market value that generates a benefit for an entity in the future". And that's exactly why writing and publishing a book is an ASSET that you can add to your business, that helps you grow your brand and generate new clients and sales. It's real and tangible. And allows you to use it over and over again to "generate a benefit" in the form of brand recognition, clients and sales. And in this episode, I share with you why! I am walking through a Barnes & Nobles bookstore and break down how to leverage the power of a book to build your brand and make more sales and how this can be a "Tangible Asset" to your business.

I just read a statistic from the National Association of Realtors saying that over 60,000 agents have left the business in the past 6 months. That's 60K families impacted and 60K entrepreneurs that had to give up on their dream of building a successful real estate business. Hearing this statistic really hit me hard.

For you to actually do "BIG" things in life, you actually have to DO big things. In surfing, we call this "Paddling Out". Meaning, you have to get in the water and "paddle out" to the lineup where the waves are. You can't sit on the shore to surf and you can't sit on the sidelines researching and studying. You have to get in the game and start "paddling out" on those big goals and dreams!

Your content has the power to change lives. You never know how much someone needs some help, hope or inspiration. And how much your story, message and content can truly help them. Ralph Waldo Emerson said... “To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” Think of this quote and the impact you can make next time you start to write a post or hit record on your next video. That post or video has the power to change someone's life! And that's exactly what we dive into in this powerful episode.

How do you become the "AUTHORITY" in your space and stand out? Help people solve more problems! Get super clear on the problems and challenges your target audience has, then create value based content that helps them! That's how you build an authority brand. I break it all down in this episode, so tune in and let's get to work on building your authority brand!

In this episode, I share the 3 main reasons that I have my podcast! For me, a podcast is a way to stay consistent with creating "Long Form" content in a show format that is something that solves the problems for my ideal clients. Each episode, I am able to teach a lesson and educate on a topic that my customers are struggling with, which helps them and adds energy to their life and business. That's the MAIN reason why I have this podcast. Then, I am able to take each episode and repurpose it into short form content (Reels, TikToks) for all of my social media channels to get my brand in front of potential new customers. All of which leads them back to the full episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Youtube, which helps them solve a problem they are facing! And by doing that, I am giving them results in advance and showing them what makes me different as a business coach. Then at the end of each episode, I offer a call to action and a way to learn more about my coaching and programs, which leads to new clients and closed sales! That's the REAL reason why I have a podcast and why I think you should have one too! I break it all down and more in this episode. Enjoy! -Coach Nicky T

The trap of researching the "best thing" for whatever project or goal you are working on is something we all fall into. And as we are researching the "best thing", months can go by without taking action and cost us a ton of losses in momentum, progress, time, potential revenue and sales! Stop researching. Start doing. Pick ONE and go all in on it! Tune into this episode and I'll show you how to STOP falling into the "researching" the best trap and start taking action to get more sh*t done!

I see so many business owners trying create content and build a brand get stuck in the "PERFECTION" trap, meaning they research the "best" camera, mic, app or technology and never actual get to work creating the actual content! Perfection DOESN'T matter, your heart, passion, message and story does! And to prove this point, I recorded this episode driving on a road trip (background noise and all) on a $12.99 wired headset, plugged into my iphone using the voice memo app that is already built into my phone. Why? Because I had a message and topic that I knew would impact your life and didn't want to wait to record it until I had the "perfect" set up. Done is better than perfect and ALWAYS choose "PASSION" over perfection.

Welcome back to the Triumphant Life Podcast! In today's episode, we talk about how powerful and impactful your story can be.

We just added a new "Core Value" to our company and it is "Creativity Follows Commitment". And in this episode, I dive into the concept of "COMMITMENT" and doing the things that scare you the most. Often times, it's those things that scare the sh*t out of you that you need to do most. And sure, it can feel like jumping out of an airplane with no parachute. But you have to jump... then learn to build wings on the way down!

I'm currently doing the 75Hard CHALLENGE and reading the "75Hard" book for the 3rd time. And this excerpt really stood out to me and wanted to share with you too! "The real world deals in facts, not feelings, and what matters is action, execution and results. The reality is, history forgets whiners, but remembers WINNERS. Bottom Line: The nature of real life demands that we see the pursuit of happiness and success and greatness as a competition, and only tough minded, hard working, straight-shooting people WIN that competition."

This motto CHANGED my life and the way I look at everything: "Never beg for a seat at another man's table when you can build your own" This exact saying is what led me to starting so many things in my life... - Starting my own podcast instead of begging people to be on their's - Self Publishing my own book instead of begging a publishing house to publish my book - Creating our own apparel brand instead of wearing some other brand on my back! - Throwing our own conference for Menace in Business instead of begging people to let me speak on their stage! (July 28th & 29th in Scottsdale, AZ) Check it all out inside of this episode!
