IF YOU ARE GOING TO SURVIVE THE STORMS...YOU NEED A SEAWORTHY SHIP THERE ARE GOING TO BE STORMS 1 Peter 3:17 ESV [17] For it is better to suffer (undeserved) for doing good, if that should be God's will (it is), than for doing evil. CHRIST IS THE SEAWORTHY SHIP 1 Peter 3:18-20 ESV [18] For Christ also suffered once (new concept for Jews) for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous (undeserved), that he might bring us (given restricted access) to God, being put to death in the flesh (body dead) but made alive (spirit always alive) in the spirit, [19] in which he went and proclaimed (preached a victory message) to the spirits in prison (who? where? when?), [20] because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience (120 yrs) waited in the days of Noah (depraved, demon dominated people, producing a totally corrupt generation, needing to be destroyed), while the ark (type of salvation) was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water (consequences and judgment). YOU HAVE TO GET IN...AND ENJOY THE RIDE! 1 Peter 3:21-22 ESV [21] Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body (what it symbolizes) but as an appeal (answer/agreement to a contract) to God for a good conscience (clear window), through the resurrection (alive) of Jesus Christ, [22] who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him. IF YOU ARE GOING TO SURVIVE THE STORM...YOU NEED A SEAWORTHY SHIP... CHRIST IS THE SEAWORTHY SHIP... YOU HAVE TO GET IN AND ENJOY THE RIDE!

This is one of the most important mindsets to take on as an entrepreneur. Taking your focus off of the services, products, and commodities that you provide and putting your focus on creating value for every single client, patient, or customer will help you have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE! So how do you put your focus on creating value? Here's how: 1- Get clear in your mind that commodities that people buy should not be the focus. The focus should be set on the value that that commodity creates. 2- Ask your clients, patients, or customers open ended questions to figure out what about this product, service, or commodity is most important to them. 3- Once you've figured out what is actually most important to them, make them understand how the product, service, or commodity that you're offering is going to get them the thing that they really want. Thank you for watching! It's all about HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKING MORE MONEY, AND ENJOYING THE RIDE!

The 3 Components of Being an Effective Leader! | Growth Prophets #26 There's a HUGE difference between being a leader and being an effective leader. Here's why.. We see it all the time. Everyone seems to believe that a leader simply stays at the top of everything, looks down on everyone, and makes every decision for everyone in the business. Not only is this extremely stressful for you as the leader, it's also destructive to the success of your business. So how do you fix it? There are many many qualities to being an effective leader, but I've broken down the 3 most important qualities for you in this podcast. The 3 components to effective leadership: 1- A great leader is someone who doesn't have all of the answers. Stop making decisions, and ask questions to the people on your team and get them thinking and giving answers to you as well. 2- A great leader doesn't stay at the top or in the middle of things. Give away your authority and give it to the people on your team. Allow them to make decisions in the business and display trust to them so that they know they are an important part of the business and their decisions affect the success of everyone on the team. 3- A great leader stays focused on the decision making criteria. Ask questions and challenge the people on your team to make decisions based on vision, clients, your team, and bottom line profitability. Stay focused on those four things. At the end of the day, these 3 things are what makes up a great leader. They'll also help you to have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE! And that's what I want for you!

Today on Growth Prophets, we are having the single most important conversation you can have about your business. How you are choking your business. It's time to take a step back and take your business higher than you ever thought possible! Here's how.. Get yourself out of the middle. Stop looking at your team as they're there to "do what I say." Divide your business into different areas of responsibility and have the members on your team take charge of those areas. The point of this is to allow the members on your team to start making decisions instead of coming to work every day just simply doing tasks. You may be asking yourself, "I made this business what it is, how can I let my team members make the decisions?" The answer is simple. Create a basis through which ALL decisions are made: 1- Vision: 2- Clients 3- Team 4- Profitability This basis is the filter through which every decision is made. If it doesn't support these 4 things, it's not going to get you where you want to go. Here's how it works.. 1- Plan - Have the People on your team bring plans to maximize their area of responsibility to the table. 2- Who do they need involved? And what do they need to be able to make their plan work? 3- Find out how you and your team will measure what's working and what's not working. 4- Coach it! Challenge the people on your team and figure out exactly how their plan supports vision, clients, team, and profitability! At the end of the day, this is how you maximize your business, reduce stress, and have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE! And that's what I want for you!

Today on this episode of Growth Prophets I'm talking about the biggest challenges that will come your way as an entrepreneur. Taking the opportunity of becoming an entrepreneur is the hardest thing you will do in your life, but here are 3 steps to making the entrepreneurial dream a REALITY! Here's how: 1- Make the man thing the main thing! Don't just get started each day and get stuck in a place in your mind where completing more and more tasks = more dollars and more growth for your business. Take a step back and take a really good look at EVERYTHING that's going on in your business and figure out whats working and what's not working. Begin to create strategies to maximize every opportunity you have and work ON your business not just IN your business! 2- Decide up front how you will make decisions! How is it that you make decisions in your business? As an entrepreneur, there are many many decisions getting thrown at you every single day and it's easy to just start tactically making those decisions as they come to you, but how do you know you're making the right decisions? Create a basis for those decisions, so that every decision that you make supports your vision, clients, team, and bottom line profitability. 3- Create a WSH Fund (When Stuff Happens Fund)! Make a commitment to get at least 3 to 6 months of expenses put away in a fund for "when stuff happens!" This is so you can prepare for the unexpected and have a back up plan for anything that could go wrong and prevent you from getting revenue. You're able to still pay the bills and have time to come up with a strategy to add more revenue to your business! These 3 steps will have you be massively successful as an entrepreneur and have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE! And that's what I want for you!

We see it all the time. So there's a challenge in your business, everyone comes to the table, but instead of finding a solution, here's what happens... Someone says, "We need to overcome this challenge." Then someone else says, "The problem is _____" "In the past we tried _____, but _______ happened." You and your team have taken time out of the day to come to the table and the only thing that happened was redefining the problem and not finding an actual solution. So how do you stop discussing what the problem is and figure out a real solution? Here's how! 1. Allocate a facillitator to run your meetings. This person needs to be completely comfortable to stop the meeting completely, stop the discussion, and keep everyone back on track. Having a facillitator is vital to making every team meeting count. 2. Have a regular meeting schedule! We recommend at least once a week, if not, every day. Set aside time for you and your team to come to the table and find real solutions for real problems. 3. Take a step back and identify what the real problem actually is. Most teams and most leaders keep their focus on the actual problems or ideas to fix the problem, but at the end of the day, that's not what will help you find a real solution. Change your mindset, ideas aren't good and bad, it's all in the implementation. Always keep your focus on the real problem and real solutions. Because at the end of the day, all the challenges that exist and any solution is always centered around the people aspects. Stop discussing, start finding solutions, and have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE!

Your client pipeline is where you should get most of your qualified clients from. Having a strong and steady pipeline can maximize your business! So what if you find yourself in a position where you've let that pipeline run dry? First, you need to look at how you got into this position in the first place. Most likely, we got there because we were too focused on doing the work and completing tasks and were not focused on keeping the pipeline filled. This is not an easy problem to solve, but it's absolutely possible! The best way to avoid the situation is to take the necessary steps to not be in this position in the first place. If you're already in this place, make a commitment to fill your pipeline, and before anything else, make sure you ALWAYS have a focus on filling your client pipeline! Here are 4 steps to filling your pipeline and NEVER letting it run dry! 1. Reach out to who you know already! If you have dormant clients or clients who are about to become dormant, you have a huge opportunity to fill your pipeline! Get them on the phone and have a conversation! 2. Make a list of who you need to know! There are many people who you know already who are most likely connected to the people you need to know. Make some calls, reach out, and make the important relationships that you need to make! 3. Figure out who you can help! You may ask yourself "How does helping someone else help ME?" In my experience, I've found that reaching out and helping others will help you make important relationships that can benefit YOU! 4. Who can you partner with? Make a list of business' that do what you do or have the same client base and reach out to them. Even if you can't establish a partnership, you may learn something about your target client base. OR you may establish a partnership that benefits your partner as well as you! These 4 steps will create you a strong and steady pipeline, maximize your growth opportunities, and help you have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE!

According to the Small Business Association, 80% of businesses in the USA are 1 paycheck away from going under. Also from the Small Business Association, 80% of businesses won't make it to the 10-year mark! It's time to bulletproof your finances and bulletproof your business! Make your business the 20% that makes it past 10 years! Here's How: 1. Freezer vs. Table Mentality. Don't eat everything that you kill. Always keep some in the freezer! Here's what I mean.. Your business is making money and paying the bills, but what if a catastrophe happens that hurts your revenue and you don't have enough put away to deal with it? Don't let yourself be in that position. Have at least 3 months of your business' income put away and never touch it! This way if something happens, you're prepared for it and you'll have at least 3 months to get some more revenue flowing into the business. 2. Be averse to having debt! Don't let yourself get into debt. If you don't have the cash, don't buy it! And if you're in debt, work towards paying it off. Don't let debtors be in control of your finances! 3. The 30-30-30 Rule After you've paid the bills and all the expenses in your business and you have at least 3 months of expenses put away, what do you do with the profitability? Here is a rule that will ensure that you never get behind. - Take home 30% - 30% goes to any other debt you have - The rest gets held in the account These are 3 steps to bulletproofing your finances! When your business is running smoothly and you're not worried about not having enough to pay the expenses you'll have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE!

Why do clients get mad? Clients get mad because of an unmet expectation. Some way, some how, that client had an expectation of the services they would receive and that expectation was not met. So what do you do about? Here are 4 steps to handle this situation! 1- Get your mind right! Whenever this situation happens, No matter what actually happened, it boils down to an unmet expectation and you have to realize that you need to take responsibility for the situation. After you've come to this realization, you can follow the next steps. 2- Lower the intensity of the situation! This client has an unmet expectation and what you want to do is hear what the client has to say. Let them get it off their chest and then sincerely apologize. Don't apologize in a way that says you did something wrong or that the client did something wrong. Simply apologize that your intentions showed up this way. 3- State your intention! After you've given a sincere apology, state what your intentions were to clear any confusion. 4- After you've lowered the intensity by apologizing and stated your intentions, ask a question. Ask the client what you can do right now to fix the situation. These 4 steps will help you have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE! And that's what I want for you!

Today on Growth Prophets, we are talking about the myth that is “If I only had the right client, then my business would be successful!” This is not true! I’d challenge that and say that what you believe, what your mindset is, is where you’ll start to operate and move yourself towards that belief. I’m here to tell you that finding the “right client” is not going to make your business any more successful. Instead take on the belief that if your clients say, “I can’t afford it,” it really means that they don’t see value. Your clients will buy anything they want or need if they see value! So, what do you do about it? How do I take on this belief and begin growing my business with happier clients, better results, make more money, and enjoy the ride? Here are 4 steps that I would give you! 1. Identify your belief for what it is. If you’re thinking that you don’t have the right client base and you don’t think you can pull the right clients from the area that you’re in. Ask yourself, “Does operating from a belief of ‘I don’t have the right clientele in my area’ serve my business, the people on my team, or my family?” If you say no and you truly believe that it doesn’t serve those things, go to the next step. 2. Take on the belief that your clients can afford anything that they want or need if they see value and write that belief down! 3. Start collecting references that supports your belief. With an open mind and open heart, go out and do the research to prove to yourself that your belief IS possible! 4. Put all your energy learning how to create value for your clients. You've got to find out what is most important to the client and then base the solution or diagnosis on what is most important! You can’t go backwards, if you start at the 4th step and start trying to learn to create value, but you’re still holding on to the belief that you don’t have the right clients, you’re not going to put all your energy into taking on this new belief and be the best you can be! If you go through these 4 steps, you’ll have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE! And that’s what I want for you!

I hear this all the time, "If I only had the right staff." Today I'm here to tell you that this statement is a myth! You can have the perfect team and it's not as hard as you think! It's not about finding the "right" staff, it's about setting the expectations and leading to create a culture for success! Here's what I mean... If someone isn't showing up a way that they should, it's not because they are just that way. It's because the proper expectations haven't been laid out and showing up that certain way has been allowed through lack of communication! Don't get stuck looking for the perfect staff! Here are 3 things I would tell you: 1- People are people and most people want to be on team and be on the same page, they just need to have clear expectations and be held accountable. 2- Set those expectations as clear as possible and communicate about them regularly. 3- Don't withhold communication. If something in the business doesn't happen, don't say "I'm the boss, here's what should've happened." Instead, bring it to that person and communicate that the thing that didn't happen is not supporting the overall direction of the business. These 3 things will build a successful team culture and help you have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE!

If you're in a service business, the initial call is the single most important step in the process of taking on a new client. The initial call is what sets up the relationship and allows you to communicate the expectations on the front end. In order to perfect the initial call here are 3 things we would tell you: 1. Stop owning the questions! When the prospect asks you a question such as "How much do you charge for _________?" Answer a question with a question and take control of the conversation! 2. Be great at asking open ending questions. The ability to ask questions is the greatest asset you have. 3. Bring the prospect to the proper realization. The person calling you is calling about one thing, when most of the time, they have many problems that need to be solved. Bring them to the proper realization and qualify them so there are no surprises when you give a solution or diagnosis. This is what will help you have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE!  

When it comes to running a successful business, you don't have to take all the responsibility and be in the middle of everything that goes on in your business. The members on your team WANT to take over some of the responsibility and have the ability to make decisions for the direction of the business. But you can't simply just delegate tasks and tell them what to do, they go do it, and bring it back to you. You have to give them authority and hold them accountable for making decisions. At the end of the day that's what will help you and your team have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE!

It's the beginning of the year and everyone is looking to accomplish HUGE goals this year! One of the biggest things that we see that holds people back from getting to where they want to be is "they just don't have time." I'm willing to bet that you DO have time, it's just a matter of finding what your priorities are. What are your priorities? Here's how to set your priorities: STEP #1 is to get CLEAR on what is most important to you, figure out when they happen during each week, and then fit them in with the other things that happen within the week. It's not about balance and you DO have enough time. You just have to set your priorities. That's what's going to have you have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE!

Christmas is over, the tree is put away, and it's time to start thinking about 2019! Now is the PERFECT time to start thinking about goals for 2019, writing them down, and making gameplans to accomplish those goals.Where is it, how is it, and what is it that you want to be in 2019? Here's 4 steps to accomplishing those goals to make 2019 the best year yet for you: 1- Figure out what the bottom line profit you need in order to make those goals happen. 2- Calculate the gross revenue that you need in order to collect that. 3- Break down each goal into monthly, then daily goals. 4- Make a gameplan and decide how often you're going to revisit these plans. These 4 steps is what will have 2019 be the best year yet for your business and help you have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE!

Having the lowest price or giving discount plans is NOT going to make you money. In fact, it’s a race to the BOTTOM! So how do you win the race to the TOP? You have to understand this, Nobody buys ANYTHING based on price, they buy based on VALUE! People don’t want cars, clothes, shoes, purses, or any of that. They want the emotion that comes from having those items whether that be happy, confident, etc. Here’s the truth. The person who has the lowest price wins the race to the BOTTOM while the person who can create VALUE wins the race to the TOP! I want YOU to be at the TOP! Here’s 2 steps to creating value! #1 – Find out what is MOST important to the patient, client, or customer. #2 – Communicate how whatever service you provide or the product you provide will get that patient to have the emotional value that is MOST IMPORTANT TO THEM! Follow these 2 steps to create value and have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE!

Studies show that multitasking doesn't exist. It's FAKE NEWS! "Multitasking"  is really just "task-switching" and causes you to not give each task the proper attention it needs. Break the habit, focus on ONE task at a time. Here's 3 steps to help you do that:   1- Be intentional      - Before you begin your task, ask yourself, "What is my outcome I'm trying to accomplish?"      - PAUSE and think about that outcome as your intention.      - Take Action! 2- Throw multitasking out the window and prioritize the most important task that you have every day. 3- Leave a blank space, 15- 20 minutes, for your distraction items: Phone, email, etc.   These 3 steps are what's going to have your effort go a longer way and help you have HAPPIER CLIENTS, BETTER RESULTS, MAKE MORE MONEY, AND ENJOY THE RIDE!
