I was 34 years old and at my wit's end with a 3, 6, and 9-year-old, trying to navigate juggling work and motherhood at the same time. I wrote a blog post then, and, looking back at it now, my heart goes out to that mama I was 8 years ago! So I updated the blog post and asked Nathan to come on and do an episode now, in hindsight, about working from home and how to navigate it. So is it overrated and you shouldn't do it? Or...can you find your flow? Get the full blog post that goes along with it here: https://www.mamasaysnamaste.com/working-from-home-is-so-overrated/ *Bonus - transcript added!
Today's episode is a tribute to Dan Miller. He was a well-loved man, a mentor, and a friend to many podcasters and entrepreneurs, including myself. He is the author of the New York Times best-selling book, 48 Days To The Work You Love. In December, Dan was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and he just passed away on the weekend. My deepest condolences go out to his wife, Joanne, and their children, Kevin Miller, Ashley Logsdon, and Jared Angaza. From The MM Vault For today's episode, I have accessed our interview from the Mindfulness Mode vault of past episodes. I talked with Dan in July of 2020 and decided to share the conversation with you today. Dan Miller has been a guest on CBS' ‘The Early Show,' MSNBC's ‘Hardball with Chris Mathews, and the Dave Ramsey Show. Dan has spoken at the White House Christian Fellowship and is in high demand as an expert on new opportunities in today's changing workplace. His 48 Days Podcast consistently ranks in the top 3 under Careers on iTunes. The 48DaysEagles.com community is viewed worldwide as an example for those seeking to find – or create – work they love. Dan has three grown children (who all host podcasts). Also seventeen grandchildren and has been married to Joanne for over 50 years.

He is the creator of 48Days.com, a website filled with resources and ideas for those seeking to start their own businesses. In this special episode, I am celebrating Dan Miller by sharing 48 lessons from him. That's a number that's significant to his brand. After receiving the news of Dan's cancer diagnosis, I knew when he saw and heard that I was doing 48 lessons celebrating Dan Miller, it would make him smile. So, I did 48 just to make Dan Miller smile. Dan's significant achievements came after the age of 53. That's a great reminder that success knows no age limit. Embrace the non-linear process of life stages and keep pursuing your dreams with perseverance and determination. Dan's principle of "pay to cut to the front of the line" emphasizes the value of investing time and money into building personal relationships. Authentic connections are the backbone of success. Prioritize nurturing genuine relationships for long-term growth and opportunities. Dan's fearless approach to uncertainty and potential failure highlights the importance of seizing opportunities with innovation and creativity. Embrace change, take calculated risks, and keep innovating to carve out your unique place in the marketplace. In the spirit of celebration and continued growth, let's aim to embody the lessons from Dan Miller's journey and make them a part of our own stories. Let's honor Dan's legacy by staying true to our passions, embracing change with grace, and finding fulfillment in our unique paths. The 48 lessons are only a fraction of what I have gained from Dan's remarkable journey and friendship. Make sure to listen to this episode and share it with someone else that could feel the impact of the lessons. As Dan has said, “the sharing of ideas is a powerful thing."
In today's wild workplace your kids may have already seen your disappointment in having a traditional job. Maybe they've already experienced their own frustration at making $18 an hour and not being able to afford a car and an apartment. Is it risky to encourage them to do something more creative - without the guarantees and security of a “real job”? How do you teach them to be responsible? What if all they have are creative skills that are tough to turn into income? Well, we're going to walk you through a listener question and then lay out a plan for helping your kids see their best options. And if you're the parent - having these same questions yourself - today's your lucky day. We're going to walk through how to test yourself - and any idea you want to create the work and life you want - starting today. So, grab your cup of tea - or maybe your Mt. Dew - and get ready for a power-packed episode filled with practical advice, inspiring stories, and valuable resources to help maximize your contributions - and clarify how you can help your kids be their best. Questions: 1. If I was your child, how would you teach/encourage me to be an entrepreneur without merely telling me, “You just gotta do it.”? 2. Why are profits better than wages? 3. What are the three reasons people never act on their dreams to achieve the financial independence they desire? 4. Is there a game I can play with my kids to teach them about business? I'm going to end with a letter from a Dad that will rip your heart out - with the regrets of what he taught his son.

Like Zig Ziglar would always say, "You can get anything you want in life as long as you help enough other people get what they want." When you serve first, things will come back to you. Your podcast allows you a tremendous opportunity to serve others. You can serve people with your content. Guest can come on your show and be served by you as you get them exposure. Events and organizations can be served by your promotion. On the show today, I want to give you a variety of ways you can benefit when you serve. We'll also talk to Dan Miller, author of "48 Days To The Work And Life You Love". He has a great resource for you called "How To Talk, Serve And Put Money In The Bank". SERVE There are three people who really taught me how to serve through my business. The first influence in my business was Zig Ziglar. The more I listened to Zig encourage us to serve, the more I tried it. As I was getting better at serving, my business continued to grow. It is amazing what serving can do for your spirit. The second influence was Dave Ramsey from Ramsey Solutions, The Ramsey Show and Financial Peace University. Dave always encourages his listeners to find someone to help you with your money who has the heart of a teacher. That really hit home for me. Teachers have a special heart and desire to serve. They have such an impact on people by how they serve. As I went into my business, I wanted to come from that same place and serve well. COLLABORATE When it came to creating partnerships in my business, I wanted my approach to be the same. I want my business to have the heart of a teacher and serve. I really learned how to have a partnership discussion based on service at Collaborate. This is an amazing event where you can connect and collaborate with hundreds of coaches, authors, podcasters, speakers, program leaders and many others. There are a variety of experts who can become your partners to help you grow your business, impact and income. There is another Collaborate coming up soon. You can get all the details through my affiliate link at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/collaborate. Collaborate is an event put on by the team at JVIC – Joint Venture Insiders Circle. Rich German and Iman Aghay have that heart of a teacher. They want to serve. More importantly and impactful, they teach their audience how to serve. SERVE BY NETWORKING During the Collaborate event, participants are put into networking circles of six or eight people. Each person has about 2 minutes to tell who they, who they serve and what sort of help they seek from their promotional partners. Now, most events would stop there. Throw people in a room and let them get at it. Instead, Iman teaches every person exactly how to use their two minutes. He gives you a template to tell people exactly how you serve so they will want to partner with you. But, it doesn't stop there. He also teaches participants how to have the follow up conversation after the event and serve even more. We so often go to events and meet a ton of people. After the event ends, we neglect to follow up and take action on the connections. No collaboration happens. Iman teaches participants to use their 2 minutes in the breakout rooms to simply get people to want to have a follow up call with you. On the follow up call, Iman says use the first 20 minutes of the call to see what the other person is all about and where they need support. Spend the next 20 minutes talking about you and where you need support. Finally, spend the last 20 minutes to find ways you can serve each other. This is such a powerful way to create amazing partnerships. You can get the full details on the next Collaborate event at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/collaborate. I would love to see you there. DAN MILLER When you serve, you offer so much value to everyone you touch. Powerful relationships are formed when you serve. Today, we talk with Dan Miller. He is President of 48 Days LLC, specializes in creative thinking for increased personal and business success. He believes that meaningful work blends our natural skills and abilities, our unique personality traits and our dreams and passions. Dan is active in helping individuals redirect careers, evaluate new income sources, and achieve balanced living. He believes that a clear sense of direction can help us become all that God designed us to be. Dan is the author of the New York Times best-selling "48 Days To The Work (And Life) You Love". In this episode, Dan and I discuss the power that comes when you serve. You can find Dan's resource "How To Talk, Serve And Put Money In The Bank" at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/serve.

It is an honor for me to introduce you to my dear friend and colleague, Dan Miller. I met Dan originally in Atlanta in May of 2012. Since that time, I have been reading his books and blogs, listening to his podcast, and participating in his 48Days Community on a regular basis. Dan is one of the most genuine people I know, and I have come to respect him a great deal. In this interview, Dan and I discuss the power of relationships, strategic connections, and becoming a part of a Mastermind Group.

The Power of The Mastermind Group Back in 1935, in Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill wrote that a Mastermind group was the one essential behind every successful person he interviewed! And yet with that information having been read by most anyone serious about their success, very few people take the initiative to find or create their own Mastermind team. You may have goals, strategies and tactics for achieving a high level of success, but without a Mastermind group you're polishing a Ferrari with no gas in the tank. How would you like to have your own team of hand-picked advisors committed to your personal success? What could you do with expert advice, wise counsel, and a network of successful people at your finger-tips? You know, the hottest business principle today is “collaboration” not “competition.” What could you do with the collaboration of your own mastermind group? I don't know anyone who has become extraordinarily successful who has not utilized the principle of the mastermind group. Whether you're a small business owner, a personal growth seeker, a consultant, a free-lanceworker, a real estate agent, an artist or a corporate employee, you can benefit from being part of a Mastermind Group. Being part of aMastermind Group is like having your own board of directors. Except there's no hidden agenda – everyone is openly committed to the success of the other members. In this course you'll discover Why you Need a Mastermind Group? How Do I Start a Mastermind Group? Selecting the Members of your Group How Do I Run a Mastermind Group? These are short segments designed to give you the essentials and get you up and running with your own Mastermind group immediately. Success doesn't require that we're born in the right place, have the right IQ or have the right degree – but it does require that we take the right action.

We live in a day where there are SO many opportunities to learn, grow, and consume great content. One of the most awesome ways is those mediums that come to us by way of the internet. What is really great is that ALL of these can be done on a computer, smart phone, tablet, or otherwise. This is the way I do SO MUCH of my personal development. This is the way I feed my mind and spirit on a regular basis. I am asked all the time, Brian, what do you listen to; what do you read? Well today, I'm going to share with you ‘The 5 Blogs and Podcasts' that I never miss. Biblical Principle: Proverbs 1:1-7 1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: 2 for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight; 3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair; 4 for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young— 5 let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance— 6 for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,but fools despise wisdom and instruction. One of my governing values is ‘I AM A LEARNER'. In today's hectic and busy culture, I find that we have to be very disciplined and intentional if we are going to consistently be feeding our mind and spirit Obviously we recommend READING books; I am on my 7th book this year. A wonderful way to do this on the go is with audiobooks (AUDIBLE.com). The truth is, however, that we are trending towards a very different way of consuming information. We enjoy doing it in BITE SIZES. We also seem to do better when the information is organized, and even fed to us in regular increments. Some great ways of achieving this are: Identify the voices that speak TO YOU What kind of content challenges you, motivates you, and pushes you to go higher? Subscribe to these individual's RSS feeds, podcasts, EMail lists This way you receive WHAT you want, WHEN you want it, and WHERE you want it Feedly or other RSS feed readers For me, blogs and podcasts are my primary way of consuming the information I need to grow daily. 5 Blogs and Podcasts I Never Miss 1. Michael Hyatt (Podcast and Blog) About Intentional Leadership Over 100 Episodes in iTunes Subjects ranging from Finding Mentors, Developing New habits, Building Your Platform, Getting your message out, Balanced Living, Developing Great Presentations, Taking Care of Body, Getting Rest, The Practice of Stillness, How To Discern your calling, and so much more He has recently changed the format of his podcast, and now has a wonderful co host, Michele Kushatt MichaelHyatt.com 2. Lance Wallnau (Blog and YouTube) Catalytic thought leader Trainer and consultant Leading voice in the world on the 7 mountains Prophetic insight into the church and it's future His blog posts challenge my thinking and give tremendous revelation YouTube Channel LanceWallnau.com 3. Ray Edwards (Podcast and Blog) My friend and colleague Ray is a unique and powerful leader in the internet marketing world He has mastered the art of blending his faith, leadership, and business acumen into one of the most useful and impactful blogs and podcasts available I love how he unabashedly lives his faith THROUGH his business, and communicates timeless principles from the Word of God that apply in every area of our lives On his podcast and blog, you will find helpful posts on leadership, life, business, marketing, productivity, and spiritual development. RayEdwards.com 4. Dan Miller (Podcast and Blog) 48 Days to The Work You Love Dan has mentored and coached thousands of people of the last number of years He teaches and believes, as I do, that you CAN find work that you love; you can become engaged in what it is God has created you to do, and do so in a way that is rewarding, fulfilling, and even profitable Dan has become not only a cherished friend in my life,but a real mentor. His podcast is one that I do not miss, ever. While I am not looking for a new career or job, his podcast inspires me to think outside the box; connect the desires of my heart to the skills I possess and opportunities that are before me 48Days.com and 48Days.net 5. Dani Johnson (Podcast and Blog) Dani is one of the most powerful ladies I know She has an amazing story that begins in a a drug infested home, and experiencing years of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. She literally was homeless and destitute, and by God's grace, she came up out of that to become a powerful trainer and equipper of people in the areas of success, financial freedom, and spiritual development. Like Ray Edwards, I LOVE the way she teaches timeless principles but integrates her faith and the power of God into the mix.

In today's rapidly changing work environment, we have to be very clear on what really is required to get a job or start a business. Never borrow more than your anticipated income for one year for any academic degree. And be confident that a valuable "education" comes in many forms. Questions: 1. My daughter wants to go to Vanderbilt. Should I encourage her? 2. How do I get around the growing popularity of AI interviews? 3. Should I go into the military or start my own business? 4. I would like to know some of your strategies to keeping focus and persevering when life gets rough or you are feeling overwhelmed/discouraged? 5. How do you stick to a goal when you keep getting defeated when trying to accomplish this goal? 6. How do you come up with longtime goals when you are not sure what you are currently doing is the right fit for you? 7. I find myself in a position where sometimes I think I outgrow friends in aspirations. These are perfectly good people and we get along just fine, so is it ok to let go? 8. Some people choose to NOT make a decision at all because they are scared of making the wrong decision, what do you have to say to those who don't make a decision? 9. How do you personally NOT "separate your work and worship," as stated in 48Days?

College Graduates will be homeless slaves with massive debt...the story continues Two years ago I wrote this piece that continues to get input. In this week's episode I share current questions from college graduates who feel trapped by virtue of their college degrees. But no one is trapped. We all have so many options to take our personal talents and move into our dream position. I'm not dissing getting a college degree. I have more degrees than anyone needs, but not with the idea that it was going to get me a particular job. I have those degrees for the sole purpose of learning and engaging with others. Questions: I'm on day 25 of the 48-day plan, I sent introductions via Linked In, but now that I'm getting ready to send my resume and cover letter to these contacts, I'm realizing I can't send them through Linked In and their e-mail addresses aren't available. What do you recommend as my next step? I've got a degree in teaching but don't want to be a teacher I am a 45-year old attorney (married with four children) working for a non-profit making $48,000/year. I owe more in student loans than I did when I graduated 11 years ago.Should I go back to work for a toxic employer because I need the money? My son has a 2 degrees, one in Communication Speech and one in Theater. He considers himself an actor and does short films in our state as a side which doesn't pay. He has $83,000 in school debt and can't see himself climbing out of the black hole anytime soon, if ever.

What does it mean to have creative freedom in your life? And what's more, how do you get it? Our guest shows us how he and his family followed a surprising path to creative freedom, and how he is helping others do the same. His name is Jared Latigo, and he is a personal development consultant who works with individuals, families, and companies in corporate settings. Jared's writing has reached millions of readers through various online publications such as Addicted2Success, ThriveGlobal, MichaelHyatt.com, 48Days, ProBlogger, and Lifehack. He has also been able to work with companies like Stetson, Mountain Dew, Pier 1 Imports, and more. Jared shares the journey he and his family took to becoming debt-free, and how it has allowed him to pursue a whole new path in life. You'll learn why it's important to have freedom in your life, all about the connection between creativity and being debt-free, how managing your money well sets you up for success as an entrepreneur, and so much more. Highlights & Key Takeaways 1. Financial wellness is a stewardship issue. It is easy to view our money as its own little “box” in our lives, but it's intimately connected to every other area, including our creative work. Ultimately, it's a matter of being a good steward or manager of what God has entrusted to us. 2. Getting out of debt can have a major impact on your ability to be creative and serve others. I asked Jared to come on the show because I wanted to explore the connection between debt and creativity, and he delivered! Jared laid out in clear detail how becoming debt-free has helped reduce stress and expand his family's ability to explore new directions. It has also given him the freedom to try things that might now work. 3. The importance of having freedom in your life. We don't often realize how much we are “shackled” to things that weigh us down and hold us back from achieving our dreams. It might be debt, a job you hate, or even a bad relationship. When you are free, you are able to do the things you want and start fulfilling the dreams God has for your life. 4. Getting control of your finances helps you be a better entrepreneur. Something we think, “If only I had a better job or more opportunities, then I could achieve my dreams.” But the reality is that our dreams begin right here, right now with what we have in the moment. Becoming a better manager of our resources, and being a better employee, will help us develop the skills to apply to our entrepreneurial efforts later on. 5. Develop an entrepreneurial mindset in your job. I love how Jared emphasized how we can think like an entrepreneur even while employed by someone else. If fact, that's how we should think. We should be constantly finding ways to add value to our employer and make our organization more profitable and successful. It's not only more fun to think this way, it's also a great way to prove your value to leaders above you. 6. You can quickly generate income. Jared mentioned several ways to generate income quickly: selling things you already have, getting a 2nd job, or taking on extra hours at work. Can you do any of these things to generate some income in the next month?

Get them now online here: FREE REVENUE GENERATING TOOLS COACHING RESOURCE This overall list doesn't include much technical information, such as mixers, processors and software. I leave that to Dave Jackson at the School of Podcasting. He is the tech expert that helps me. If you are looking for help setting up the studio, Dave is your guy. He leads off my resources. TECHNICAL TOOLS A few technical tools from my studio include my mic, my mac and a few web tools. My studio mic is an ElectroVoice RE20. This runs about $450. It is a high quality mic. This mic is probably much more than a beginning podcaster needs. However, if you are serious about podcasting, this is a great mic. My backup mic is an Audio-Technica ATR-2100. It s a great USB mic for about $60. For editing, I use Adobe Audition in the studio. I will occasionally use Garage Band for quick projects or when I'm traveling. Dave Jackson recently turned me on to Hindenburg Journalist. I am considering that option. Audacity is also a great tool. Daniel J. Lewis is very knowledgeable with this platform if you are looking for input. I use a Mac Book Pro 13" for the flexibility. It cost me $1,200. My mp3s are tagged with ID3 Editor from PA Software. The price tag was $15. I host my audio with Libsyn. It runs $20/month. My URLs were purchased through GoDaddy. The price really depends on the URL. You can usually find a deal. After the initial deal, I pay about $45/year. I have a website on Homestead and one on Host Gator with Wordpress. Homestead is a stand alone site builder. Host Gator just hosts my Wordpress site. Homestead is $20/month. HostGator is $135/year, just over $11/month. They each have various plans. Wordpress is free. On my website, I use Paypal for my transactions. Most of my providers accept it. Plus, they have a card option for my customers. I like this because most of my customers are familiar with it. Aweber is my newsletter provider. The subscription is $19/month at the time of this writing. I looked at Mail Chimp. Both are very similar services if you have a list under 5,000. Canva.com is a decent resource for creating graphics. I use it primarily as an editing tool. They have a decent photo library. Most photos are about $1/photo. However, most of my photos come from 123RF.com. I find those photos to be a little better than the Canva photos. My workbook was self-published through Create Space, an Amazon company. You simply upload a .pdf. It is fairly simple to use. Not very expensive. They also sell the workbook through Amazon and converted it to Kindle. That made things super easy for me. I am in the process of creating a membership portal through WishList Member. It was $297 when I purchased it. They have solid training videos. I am not yet complete with this one. LEARNING TOOLS Dan Miller and 48Days.com is where it all started. He has great tools to help you find your passion and the work you love. Internet Business Mastery is a great podcast and course that has helped me refine my business focus. Jeremy & Jason have been there and done it. Audible.com has turned my car into a mobile classroom. I am usually listening to a couple books a month on top of the podcasts. You can get a free book when you use my affiliate link on the resources page. I cannot say enough about Dave Jackson and the School of Podcasting. If you want to learn the technical nuts and bolts, check out his course, membership and training tools. SHOW ME THE MONEY Now that you have your gear set, let's talk about making money with your show. Don't forget to get the free training online at PodcastTalentCoach.com. To make money with your podcast, you need something to sell. When I'm coaching clients, we review goals. Many will say, "I'd like to make money with my podcast." When I ask, "What do you have to sell?", they say, "Nothing." Nothing to sell equals no revenue. A few ads in your show will not generate enough revenue to make a difference. You need to create a product. Then, let your podcast promote that product while helping and entertaining your audience. The best thing about a digital product is that you do the work once and then sell it over and over again. When I was struggling to launch a product, I had no idea what my audience wanted. So many gurus say, "Figure out what your audience wants and then make it for them." That sounds so easy. But, how do you figure that out? A Seed Launch is the perfect place to start. The Seed Launch is part of Jeff Walker's Product Launch Formula. The Seed Launch is one of my favorite parts of the PLF course. I've watched that module multiple times and learn something new each time. I love the Seed Launch and want to share it with you. If you embrace this, you will find the product creation and launch process so much easier to understand. Jeff teaches you exactly how to figure out what your audience wants. With the Seed Launch, your listeners tell you what they need as you create the product. It is brilliant. Let's walk through it. One of the fastest and easiest ways to make money is with the Seed Launch. You start with no list or product and you get paid to create your product. Tell me that doesn't sound great. If you are just starting out or want to test a new idea, a Seed Launch works very well. When you are building your online revenue stream you need to take small, incremental steps. Those small steps add up to huge results. You start building your list with your opt in. Promote that opt-in on your podcast and through your e-mail. You let that opt-in teach people about your product. Finally, you execute your product launch. These are the baby steps to revenue. With the Seed Launch, you don't need a huge list or a product. This is an interactive process. The Seed Launch helps build relationships. It helps get feedback and case studies that you can use with even bigger launches. Each launch builds on the last. Most of us are not trained teachers or trainers. We don't instinctively know how to teach correctly or appropriately. The Seed Launch will help you refine those skills as well. When creating your product and teaching, be careful of the Curse of Knowledge. You forgot what you didn't know when you were staring out. You forgot what it was like to not know the basics. You're likely an expert in the subject matter of your product. As an expert, it is very hard to remember what it was like as a beginner. Now, you do it without thinking. Like riding a bike. If you have ever taught a child to ride a bike, you know what it is like to try to remember the basics. The Seed Launch helps you avoid the Curse of Knowledge. It is interactive with webinars or teleseminars. That's what makes the Seed Launch a fantastic way to create and launch a product. Your fans tell you exactly what they don't know and need to learn. HOW DOES IT WORK? So, how does the Seed Launch work? With the Seed Launch, you create an outline for your course. You then get a group of people to join you as you conduct a series of webinars. Through the surveys you perform before and after each call, you'll find out what they really want to know, where the gaps are, and what you need to revisit or teach better. They tell you exactly what you need to teach, which helps you build a product your audience wants and needs. As you conduct the webinar series, you record all of the calls. By the end, you have a product that your audience has helped you create. It is exactly what they want, because they told you during the process. You have answered all of their questions, because they asked. The Seed Launch helps you determine the market need while avoiding the curse of knowledge. Keep in mind, the Seed Launch is not just for beginners. If you have a business but want to launch a new product, this is a fantastic way to get started. It prevents procrastination, because you get paid and are forced to create the product. The Seed Launch brings in money, creates a great product, and leads to new learning. GET PEOPLE INTERESTED "But I don't have a list." How do you get people in the webinars when you don't have a big e-mail list? We all started at zero. You are not alone. The best things about the Seed Launch is that you don't need a big list. You only need a small group to help you with the creation of your product. You need enough that you can create some community and receive valuable input. Where can we find those people? Think about your circle of influence within your expertise. Do you have a group of people you know who might be interested in your knowledge? How about your e-mail contacts. Look at your Facebook friends and your Twitter followers. Your podcast audience is a great pool of people. These are all solid ways to get people interested in your webinar series. If you can get 20 people on your webinar each paying your $100 to be there, you are earning $2,000 to create your product. How great is that? When you are done with the webinar series, you have a great product to sell over and over again using the other forms of launches that Jeff teaches. You can use the Internal Launch, JV Launch and Quick Launch. Jeff Walker teaches all of these in Product Launch Formula. He is getting ready to release PLF and kick off the training. Do you want to learn more? Do you want to see how this can propel your revenue? The free video series Jeff releases to promote PLF is training Jeff calls the "Second Best Training" on the internet just after the PLF course itself. I own PLF and have watched his free video series three times AFTER I made the purchase. It is a great business resource. If you want access to course, sign up at PodcastTalentCoach.com. You will learn a great deal with regard to making money with your podcast. Just for signing up, I'll send you two of my best resource guides, "16 ways to make money with a free podcast" and "75 ways to drive engagement with your podcast".

9 Uncommon Books That Shaped My Podcast – Episode 120 We are all looking for great books and inspiration. In the online business space, the same books are often recommended and discussed. Godin. Ries & Trout. Think & Grow Rich. Those are the must-reads to be in the game. Lesser known books can often offer powerful information and inspiration. They can also help you stand out from the crowd. When I started in radio 25 years ago, I would read all I could about radio and business. I read the big books of the industry to keep up with the crowd. Those books were the center of many discussions at industry gatherings. After I began programming my first radio station in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1995, I quickly realized keeping up with the crowd wasn't going to put me ahead of the crowd. To win, we need to think differently. To get ahead, we need to be willing to do what others will not. Find motivation and inspiration where others haven't looked. As you are trying to create a podcast that is unique and entertaining, one that will stand out and attract a following, take a chance on a few new ideas. Find a few nuggets that keep your heart pumping. Be a champion for a different way of thinking. Here are few books that have inspired me. These books are not the typical fare you hear mentioned in every keynote speech. You won't find these titles at the center of cocktail party discussions … unless you make it so. However, these books have useful information you can put to work in your podcast and online business today. You can use these ideas to spark your creativity. Find one book that looks exciting and inspiring to you. Give it a read. Maybe you'll find your own wonderful spark of an idea. THE POWER OF CULT BRANDING – HOW 9 MAGNETIC BRANDS TURNED CUSTOMERS INTO LOYAL FOLLOWERS (AND YOURS CAN, TOO!) – BJ Bueno and Matthew Ragas This book covers the 7 rules of cult branding. As examples, the book explores the success of brands like Star Trek, Oprah Winfrey, Apple, Jimmy Buffett and Linux. I love this book, because it explains the characteristics of brands that truly stand out from the crowd. These brands have created cult-like followings. The book gets me excited about what is possible. PLATFORM – GET NOTICED IN A NOISY WORLD – Michael Hyatt Michael Hyatt has a successful blog, podcast and membership site. In this book, he explores how to create a leverage your platform. If you are in online business, this is a great read. I find another takeaway each time I read the book. This work is like a “how to” guide. BEYOND POWERFUL RADIO – Valerie Gellar Valerie dives into the characteristics of successful radio. These principles can also be applied to podcasting. From Valerie, I learned to never be boring. She says, “There is no such thing as too long, only too boring.” THE MILLIONAIRE MESSENGER – MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND A FORTUNE SHARING YOUR ADVICE – Brendon Burchard This book provides the steps to take to create your business. The process begins with selecting your area of expertise and ends with finding promotional partners and repeating the process. It is an easy read. The book is the foundation of Brendon's teachings. His work has really shaped my online approach. MILLION DOLLAR COACHING – BUILD A WORLD-CLASS PRACTICE BY HELPIING OTHERS SUCCEED – Alan Weiss If you coach, this book will help you build your process of finding clients. This book was first recommended by Dan Miller of 48Days.com. Alan provides a great process to finding clients, converting leads and turning your coaching into a real business. CIGARS, WHISKEY & WINNING – LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM GENERAL ULYSSES S. GRANT – Al Kaltman This book is full of great tips on management, overcoming obstacles, focus and competition. The lessons come from the actual events in the life of Ulysses S. Grant. It is an incredibly inspirational read. THE KNACK – HOW STREET-SMART ENTREPRENEURS LEARN TO HANDLE WHATEVER COMES UP – Norm Brodsky and Bo Burlingham This book discusses why start-ups fail, how to make sales and how to keep customers. Norm created a few businesses in New York City. He was also a contributor to INC. magazine. The lessons in the book come from his real-world experience and not simply theory. THE E-MYTH REVISITED – WHY MOST SMALL BUSINESSES DON'T WORK AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT – Michael E. Gerber This is probably the most popular book on this list. For the small business owner, this is a must-read. Learn to work on your business and not simply in your business. The lesson is fundamental for small business success. CASH IN A FLASH – REAL MONEY IN NO TIME – Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen This book shows you how to think differently to create quick cash, and then turn that cash into more cash. The lessons require action and courage. The book is creative in its storytelling. I hope these books give you a bit of inspiration as you continue to grow your business. There should be at least one piece to spark some creativity for you. Let me know what one you use. E-mail me at Coach@PodcastTalentCoach.com.

Podcast Resources – Episode 117 (These tools can be found on the resource page at PodcastTalentCoach.com. Most links on that page are affiliate links. I receive a variable commission for all purchases made using those links.) I have recently received questions from listeners looking to launch a podcast in 2016. I thought this would be a good time to review the tools I use to in my business. This includes the tools I use to create my podcast, website and newsletter. We will also review the resources I use to learn, grow and develop. This episode is an encore presentation of an earlier episode you may have missed. If you did catch it last time, let this serve as inspiration and a little refresher. I have been using most of these resources for at least 24 months. Some have been used longer. A couple tools are more recent. For the most part, I have been a long-time user and have been quite happy with each of them. That is why I feel confident recommending them to you. You can find affiliate links to most of these online at PodcastTalentCoach.com. COACHING RESOURCE This list doesn't include much technical information, such as mixers, processors and software. I leave that to Dave Jackson at the School of Podcasting. He is the tech expert that helps me. If you are looking for help setting up the studio, Dave is your guy. He leads off my resources. TECHNICAL TOOLS A few technical tools from my studio include my mic, my mac and a few web tools. My studio mic is an ElectroVoice RE20. This runs about $450. It is a high quality mic. This mic is probably much more than a beginning podcaster needs. However, if you are serious about podcasting, this is a great mic. My backup mic is a Audio-Technica ATR-2100. It is a quality USB mic for the money. This costs around $60. For editing, I use Adobe Audition in the studio. I will occasionally use Garage Band for quick projects or when I'm traveling. I use a Mac Book Pro 13” for the flexibility. I cost me $1,200. My mp3s are tagged with ID3 Editor from PA Software. The price tag was $15. I host my audio with Libsyn. It runs $20/month. My URLs were purchased through GoDaddy. The price really depends on the URL. You can usually find a deal. After the initial deal, I pay about $45/year. I have a website on Homestead and one on Host Gator with Wordpress. Homestead is a stand alone site builder. Host Gator just hosts my Wordpress site. Homestead is $20/month. HostGator is $135/year, just over $11/month. Wordpress is free. On my website, I use Paypal for my transactions. Most of my providers accept it. Plus, they have a card option for my customers. I use Aweber for my newsletter. It is $196/year. Just over $16/month. I looked at Mail Chimp. Both are very similar services if you have a list under 5,000. Canva.com is a decent resource for creating graphics. They have a decent photo library as well. Most photos are about $1/photo. I self-published my workbook through Create Space, an Amazon company. You simply upload a .pdf. It is fairly simple to use. Not very expensive. They also sell the workbook through Amazon and converted it to Kindle. I am in the process of creating a membership portal through WishList Member. $297. They have solid training videos. I am not yet complete with this one.

Internet Business Mastery is a great podcast and course that have helped me refine my business focus. Jeremy & Jason have been there and done it. Michael Hyatt has a great membership site with Platform University. It is based on his book Platform, which is a must read as you develop your podcast. There is great learning inside the community. He only opens membership a couple times a year for enrollment. I got in early on this one and haven't looked back since. Audible.com has turned my car into a mobile classroom. I am usually listening to a couple books a month on top of the podcasts. You can get a free book when you use my affiliate link on the resources page. Most of all, I cannot say enough about Dave Jackson and the School of Podcasting. If you want to learn the technical nuts and bolts, check out his course, membership and training tools. You can find affiliate links to most of these online at PodcastTalentCoach.com. I would appreciate the support if you choose to use any of these links and great products.

My Podcast Resource Toolkit – Episode 091 (These tools can be found on the resource page at PodcastTalentCoach.com. Most links on that page are affiliate links. I receive a variable commission for all purchases made using those links.) We are coming up on episode 100 of Podcast Talent Coach. This podcast has been up and running for a little over 18 months.

It is a high quality mic used in many broadcast studios. It is much more than a new podcaster needs. However, if you are serious about podcasting, this is a great mic. My backup mic is a Blue Yeti. It gets the job done, but is a condenser mic. This costs around $100. You might be better off with a Audio-Technica ATR-2100. It is a great USB mic for about $60.

If you're not moving forward, you're moving backward. Change is inevitable. Are you allowing the change to take its own course or are you creating the change you want? This fact is true in every facet of our lives. In sales, business, health, financial or personal relationships, there is no such thing as the status quo. Ignoring them will not make them improve. Last week I had coffee with a coaching client who is thirty years old, single, in great health and seems to have everything “under control”. However, he is discontent and stuck but so warm and happy that he is scared to take step of faith to move out of the rut he is in. He is in comfortable misery. Unless he decides to step out on faith and do something new, he will have the same conversation with someone else when he is forty. If you are in business or you are in sales, introduce yourself to a new set of customers or some that you have not done business with in a while. Introduce a new product or service to these prospects and set some new goals in this area to grow your sales. You must keep your sales funnel full. In order to do this, you must plans months in advance. That makes it impossible to celebrate that big sale for too long. You must move forward breaking new ground. Are you like the gentleman I mentioned earlier who needs a new challenge in his career and personal life? Create a plan of action and make it happen. If you need help in this area, visit 48Days.com for the volumes of resources my friend Dan Miller provides. I know you get tired and you should make rest and renewal a part of your life. Just refuse to stay there too long. There is no such thing as maintenance. Robert D. Smith, author of 20,000 Days and Counting, told me that the reason Andy Andrews career has sustained and grown over the last thirty plus years is because they never stop asking themselves, “what's next?” Have a great week!
