Building a business on your own terms is easier said than done.  The online space for a business owner is littered with voices, gurus, experts, and thought leaders who tout themselves as the consummate experts for achieving success.  So you try all these ideas and methodologies in your organization. But trying to chase every new fad or every best practice to come on the scene is like riding a neverending roller coaster.  What happens when their ideas don't pay off? Or when you realize that after years of taking other people's advice, you've built your business on the wisdom of others – rather than your own instinct or desires? Today, I'm tackling this idea of building your business on your own terms, not what the guru says you should want and how to trust your vision for the future. In this episode, you will hear: The pitfalls of listening to gurus, influencers, and thought leaders at the mercy of our own desires Neglecting to look inward in figuring out what you really want Steps to discovering what you really want The need to take action even in the absence of clarity Redefining success to do the work that fills you up Changing course no matter where you are in your journey Focusing on your ideas that breed confidence   Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to my podcast?

If we go looking for our ideal client, but don’t create the environment that attracts and keeps them, we have no one to blame but ourselves. To become ‘Tom Cruise famous’ to the right people, we have to create the ideal client in our minds and speak directly to them.   To be MicroFamous in our markets, we have to find ways to differentiate ourselves, while staying authentic to who we are. It’s not enough to have our names known, we have to be recognized for what sets us apart.   How can we attract and keep our ideal clients, long after our first transaction with them? What information do we need to share with the world to build a MicroFamous persona?   In this episode, Australia’s #1 millionaire real estate coach, Glenn Twiddle returns to the show to discuss how to get MicroFamous.   Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   Exude the right energy Becoming MicroFamous doesn’t happen overnight; we have to consistently put the right energy into the world. Give without expecting anything in return. We never know who is talking about the good deeds we do or value we offer; ultimately, it will come back to us.   Be authentic Consumers can tell when agents are being caring because they want something in return. If we aren’t personally interested in forming deeply emotional attachments with our community, that’s fine; we just need to find something else to hang our hats on.    Don’t over-share While we may think being authentic requires us to share every part of ourselves, that’s not the case. Remember that our ideal clients want to get to know who we are and what we stand for in the shortest time possible. Don’t share anything unrelated to the ideal client; over-sharing actually does them a disservice.      Guest Bio Glenn Twiddle is Australia’s #1 millionaire real estate coach. Glenn teaches agents a ‘step-by-step, fill in the blanks’ system for becoming the top real estate agent in their area in 3 years or less. He is also the CEO of Total Success Summit, a premiere event for marketing, sales, motivation, business and Total Success in Australia.    To find out more about Glenn, heado: www.glenntwiddle.com.au www.TotalSuccess.com.au www.linkedin.com/in/glenntwiddle  www.facebook.com/glenntwiddle/    Books mentioned on this episode: Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World by Gary Vaynerchuck  https://www.amazon.com/Jab-Right-Hook-Story-Social/dp/006227306X

Kati provides insights into monetizing online content, creating an influential online presence and building online courses for your audience.   Episode Highlights: Where did Kati grow up and how did she transition into nursing? When did Kati realize her popular blog could become a business? Did she look to others to see how they were monetizing their blogs? How do people respond when Kati tells them she's a self-employed nurse educator? What tips does she have for bloggers or someone building an online presence? How did Kati identify a need for online courses? How did she decide which courses to build and was that process like? What is her advice to someone who wants to create an online course but doesn't feel quite ready to take it on by themselves? How can someone present this opportunity to a co-instructor? What is Kati's parting advice for nurses leaving the bedside nursing position to pursue entrepreneurship?   3 Key Points: Business principles in general will apply to your health-related business.

Taking your design business international. There are many ways to attract international design clients. You can travel the world and talk to people about your business. You can invest in an international marketing campaign. You can become an SEO wizard and draw clients from around the world to you. Or, you can do what I did and give something away for free. My first international client, without even trying. If you listen to the Resourceful Designer podcast, you may have heard me mention bits and pieces this story, but I don’t think I’ve ever shared it all in one place. I started podcasting in 2013 doing TV Fan Podcasts for some of the television shows I enjoy. I have podcasts covering the TV shows Under The Dome, Orphan Black, Killjoys, and The Expanse. You can find all of them on my podcast network at solotalkmedia.com Unbeknownst to me, the journey that led me to have international design clients started with my podcast for the television show Under The Dome. While making that podcast, I met Wayne Henderson from California and Troy Heinritz from Illinois, two friends who were podcasting together about the same Under The Dome TV show. You might think that two podcasts talking about the same TV show would become rivals but the podcasting world is different. Podcasters are mostly outgoing people, and we like to help each other out, even when our shows are on the same topic. It didn't take long for Wayne, Troy and I became friends. In fact, Wayne is the man with the sultry voice you hear at the beginning of every episode of the Resourceful Designer podcast. How does this relate to designing for international clients? I'm the type of designer that doesn't like creating things without purpose. Any time I test out new software, buy a new Photoshop or Illustrator plugin, acquire a new font, or obtain anything else, I like to test them out on real projects. Often those projects are current client projects but if I don't have a client project suitable for me to "experiment" on I will find something else that may need a redesign and experiment on that. Even if it's not something I was hired to do. Like many podcasters, Wayne had multiple podcasts. One of those podcasts was on the subject of Voice-Over Artists. I don't want to sound mean towards a friend, but the artwork for Wayne's podcast was horrible. So when I purchased a Design Cuts bundle and acquired a fancy new font with multiple variations for each character, I decided to experiment with it by designing a new logo for Wayne's podcast. My goal wasn't to design a new logo; it was just to experiment with the font. But if I ended up creating something I liked, it might as well be something useful, and that's what happened. After experimenting for a while I liked what I had created, so I decided to spend a bit more time fine-tuning the design. The artwork was useless to me so I offered it to Wayne free of charge and told him he could use it if he wanted to, no obligations. Wayne loved the artwork and immediately replaced his old artwork with my new design. Not just that, he was so grateful for the unexpected gift that he started telling everyone in the podcasting space about the great artwork I created for him. A month or so later, I subscribed to the stock photo site GraphicStock (now StoryBlocks). While searching through the stock images, I saw one of a football on turf that caught my eye. A design idea popped into my head, and I downloaded the image. By coincidence. Wayne and Troy have another podcast together for their favourite NFL football team, the Green Bay Packers. Once again, the artwork wasn't the greatest. So using the stock image as inspiration, I designed new artwork for that podcast and gave it to them. Again, with no obligation for them to use it. Both Wayne and Troy were so pleased that once again they started sharing what I did on social media and the two became ambassadors for my design business. After that, every time they saw a post in a Facebook group where someone asked a question about a design they would share my name. I would get a notification that my name was mentioned, and I would join the conversation. Most of the time I would just help the person out with advice or give my opinion on a design they already had. I didn't try to sell my services. After a while, people started to notice that every time there was a design related question, I would provide a useful comment. It didn’t take long for one of those people to reach out to me to have something designed. The first was a woman from California. I created podcast cover art and a website for her. She was so pleased that she started sharing my name on both her podcast and on social media. I was then contacted and hired to create podcast cover art by a couple of her listeners who heard her talk about me with high praise. One of them was from Hong Kong and another from London, my first overseas international clients. The client in Hong Kong liked working with me enough that he hired me for another project of his that was not podcast related. This project was in partnership with someone he knew in Japan. A couple of months later the man from Japan asked me to design something for a side project he was starting. And so on and so on. Most designers agree that the bulk of their clients come to them via word of mouth referrals. That's precisely what happened to me but on an international scale. I've now worked with clients on every continent except for Antarctica. Most of them stem from those first two artworks I did for free for a couple of podcasting friends. This all started in March of 2015. At that time almost all of my clients were local except for a couple in the USA. Now, over 80% of my clients are international. Half of them are linked somehow to the podcast space. What exactly did I do? Instead of wasting time experimenting with design, I chose to experiment by designing something useful. Even though I was experimenting, I made sure to produce good work. Designs I could be proud of. I gave the design away for free to people who would appreciate it. Please keep in mind that doing free work is not the same as working for free. I can guarantee you that if Wayne or Troy had come to me asking for the artwork, I would have charged them for it. I provided good work that people appreciated, and it made them want to spread the word about me. Now, three years later. My name is recognised in the podcast space as that podcasting graphic designer who understands the podcast industry. And who do people turn to when they need a designer? Someone they know, someone they’ve heard about, someone who understands them. Times change. We’re lucky that we live at a time where it’s so easy for someone in California to have a conversation and share knowledge with someone in Scotland, Brazil or Australia. We're also lucky that boundaries have been broken. It wasn't that long ago that people were fearful of hiring someone from outside their borders. Now, most people do it without a second thought. How does this apply to your design business? How does this apply to you? Easy, if It worked for me, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for you. In episode 54 and episode 93 of Resourceful Designer, I talked about Niches and how they can help grow your design business. That’s what I did without even realising it. I went after the podcast niche. It took me three years to get to the point I'm at now, and no, not all my clients are in the podcasting space, but by ingraining myself in that niche I've built an international design business, and it keeps gaining traction every day. Now I've partnered with a podcast production company who contracts me every time they have a new client that requires either podcast cover art, social media branding, website or any other design work. This method can work for you. If you have a passion or a hobby, I encourage you to get involved with others that have the same passion or hobby. Attend events related to your hobby, follow them on social media, join facebook groups or sub-Reddit groups, even forums if they still exist. Get to know the people in your space, help them out if you can, let them know what you do but don't sell yourself. By offering valuable information and showing that you know what you're talking about, I’m sure that eventually, you will get work from it just like I did. Gary Vaynerchuk has a book called [easyazon_link identifier="006227306X" locale="US" tag="resourcefuldesigner-20"]Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook.[/easyazon_link] In his book, Gary explains that you will be more successful at selling yourself if you've continuously offered help before. Be helpful, and when the time comes people will repay you for that help. As I said at the start, there are many ways to attract international design clients. This is the way that worked for me. It took three years but it was well worth it, and I can't wait to see what my client list will look like three years from now. Be helpful, Do good work, Treat your clients right and be patient. It will work out for you as well. How do you attract international design clients?

This week’s entire episode was based on a question I received from Nayda. This is what she asked. Recently I listened one of your podcast in which you said that most of your clients are not locals in Canada. That’s why you set as one of your 2018 goals to gain more local clients. I was wondering, how do you find overseas clients? Recently I stumble upon the “Upwork” platform. In Puerto Rico, where I am from, they developed something similar after Hurricane María hits us. It’s called “Shop & Hire”. Did you use a platform similar to these to get your overseas clients? Also, what are your thoughts about the use of platforms such as the one I mentioned? Have a great day!

When it comes to raising venture capital, that means understanding the interests of investors and assembling the right team to support you at the negotiating table. Start With Why — Simon Sinek (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0241958229/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=samharris48-21&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0241958229&linkId=9c33cd5529e590375b4e85a452e0543b) Businesses, individuals and movements of all kinds should always start with WHY — their reason for doing something. This WHY should be the basis for every decision its leaders make and every message they transmit. By doing so, they will attract loyal supporters and garner long-term success. Think and Grow Rich — Napoleon Hill (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1934451355/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=samharris48-21&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1934451355&linkId=f8f6188e452a8cacade171b5c2dc9fec) Wealth — in whatever form — is seldom the result of luck or coincidence. Far from that, it’s almost always the result of different traits and skills that anyone can learn and acquire. Mindset — Carol S. Dweck (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/147213995X/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=samharris48-21&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=147213995X&linkId=c7c8acf5f04fb8c59b8049631c224b12) People with a fixed mindset obstruct their own development through their belief in innate talent and their fear of failure. On the contrary, people with a growth mindset work hard and train hard to ultimately realize their potential to the fullest. By confronting our own attitudes and ideas, we can develop a growth mindset. The Art of Learning — Josh Waitzkin (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0743277465/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=samharris48-21&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0743277465&linkId=eeb05f26b9ac227d202436a44fb4c14e) Anybody can achieve superior performance with the right mindset, perseverance, dedication and strategy. Using performance psychology methods, you can learn to manage your ability to focus and relax, switching between them as needed. Predictable Revenue — Aaron Ross and Marylou Tyler (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0984380213/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=samharris48-21&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0984380213&linkId=07cfc8d09011d48f581c6925d1475cfb) Today’s world requires a new approach to sales. Salespeople must truly understand lead generation, from the different types of leads to the most effective approaches for generating them. With a specialized team that ensures every step of a sale is performed to a high calibre, and an organization that is committed to best practices, you can expect powerful and reliable revenue. The Everything Store — Jeff Bezos (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0552167835/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=samharris48-21&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0552167835&linkId=e5ec4643dcc2e5e3057679ed2d2fc0b3) The main message of this book: Strong customer orientation, long-term thinking and the drive to evolve and improve are the qualities that make Amazon what it is. The company’s unequalled success can undoubtedly be traced back to the way of thinking promoted by its founder, Jeff Bezos. He stands out in particular for his willingness to take risks and try new things, as well as for his future-oriented thinking, which is also exemplified by his other projects, such as a private space program and a 10,000-year clock. Positioning: The Battle for your Mind — Al Ries & Jack Trout (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0071373586/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=samharris48-21&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0071373586&linkId=8f26b64ae72131a1dd2047e61d815102) In order to successfully market a product, you have to have a good product name, avoid marketing traps and utilize your competitors. If you can’t be the first in the market, you must use your own positive qualities and specialities to find a niche for your product rather than being a “me-too” product. Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook — Gary Vaynerchuck (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/006227306X/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=samharris48-21&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=006227306X&linkId=8e5704e12535f3c18ba11bcdd4b2e57c) As more and more of our lives take place online, it is essential for businesses to use social media campaigns. So figure out what platforms are best for your brand, and tailor your marketing to them. Remember there’s no “one size fits all” for social media marketing, and don’t be afraid of new platforms like Pinterest. Any business can find success when it gets social media right. The Little Prince — Antoine De Saint-Exupery (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1405216344/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=samharris48-21&camp=1634&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1405216344&linkId=95d4c2be8806bc1d9005fa7c5c6b5184) Tommy’s favourite piece of fiction of all time.

"Nobody here is Mother Teresa; we're trying to sell stuff"     - Gary Vaynerchuk Unless you're not familiar with this thing called “the internet," you probably know who Gary Vaynerchuk is.  Gary Vaynerchuk is the author of the NY Times best seller, "Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook" which has been making a lot of noise in the auto industry since its release.  Gary is co-founder of VaynerMedia, a social media agency. With offices in New York and San Francisco, his company manages some seriously powerful brands on social media and online content strategies, like the NFL, NHL and Campbell's Soup. In April, Gary spoke at the Driving Sales Presidents Club in New York City, where he was dropping knowledge bombs left and right, helping auto dealers with their social media strategies and determining ROI.  His guest ‘appearance' on The Dealer Playbook was just as epic! In the DPB podcast this week, Gary talks about:    - How there's no Facebook without investing in paid ads    - The truth about Facebook ads (& "dark posts")    - How to do a Facebook ad campaign or unpublished post     - A step-by-step rundown on how to build a successful Facebook ad strategy    - Creating content that appeals to your audience's interests based on what's trending  Gary is definitely the guy to be listening to when it comes to building a bigger social presence. His tactics on Facebook are -without a doubt- proven tried & true strategies worth exploring and incorporating into your own business.
