We've all been there. That unsolicited, lengthy WhatsApp message from a "consultant" offering a laundry list of services or training programs. You scroll, you sigh, and you likely ignore or block the sender. It's a common occurrence, and it's a perfect example of how not to do outreach. Let's dissect a recent outreach attempt I received, and why it failed miserably: The Offending Message: "Good Day, trust your day is going great? My name is XYZ, an IT Consultant at TECHXYZ AFRICA. I am inviting you and your loved ones to join our internship training program, designed to equip you with the most global in-demand tech skills like Data Science, Web Development, Cybersecurity, AI & Machine Learning, Digital Marketing, Product Design (UI/UX), Video Production, Networking (CCNA), Mobile App Development, Cloud Computing (AWS), Music Production, and more! Our training program comes with; ✅ international certifications ✅ International Job Opportunities ✅ Internship Opportunities ✅ Free CV revamp ✅ Job interview preparation Let me know which course you're interested in. Call or WhatsApp 090XYZ to kick-start your journey today! We have both online and Physical classes Please Don't keep this to yourself, share it with friends & family!" Why This Approach Fails: * Too Long: In the mobile-first world, lengthy messages are a death sentence. People simply won't scroll through endless paragraphs. * Unsolicited: This message came out of the blue. I had no prior interaction or expressed interest in any of these tech areas. Unsolicited messages are often perceived as spam and lead to blocking. * Trying to Be Everything to Everyone: Listing every possible tech skill dilutes the message. It lacks focus and fails to resonate with any specific need. * Confusing Call to Actions (CTAs): The message throws multiple CTAs at the recipient: choose a course, share with friends, inquire about benefits. This confusion leads to inaction. * Lack of Personalization: The generic greeting and impersonal approach make it clear this is a mass-sent message. The Right Way to Do WhatsApp Outreach: Instead of broadcasting a novel, adopt a more strategic, conversational approach: * Start with a Problem-Based Opener: Instead of a generic greeting, open with a question that addresses a specific need. For example, instead of the long message, a good first message would be something like, "Good Day (name), I got your number from XYZ business directory. Are you or any of your loved ones interested in acquiring tech skills?". * Qualify and Engage: If they respond, engage in a conversation to understand their specific interests and needs. Ask questions about their goals and challenges. * Focus on One Area: Instead of listing every service, focus on the one that aligns with their needs. * Build Rapport: Prioritize building trust and rapport before pitching your services. * Offer Value: Highlight the benefits that matter most to them, such as certifications, job opportunities, or skill development. * Use a Clear and Singular CTA: Guide the recipient to take one specific action, such as scheduling a call or visiting a website. The Takeaway: In today's digital age, it's tempting to rely on mass messaging. However, effective outreach requires a personalized, strategic approach. Focus on building relationships, understanding needs, and providing value. Stop trying to do what's easy, and begin doing what is effective. Remember, building trust and rapport leads to higher conversion rates, repeat business, and valuable referrals. It's worth the effort. #WhatsAppOutreach #SalesTips #DigitalMarketing #BusinessStrategy #LeadGeneration

Sandy McMaster, a leading realtor in the DC metro area, joins Matt and Garrett today to share her journey of developing a more authentic and client-centered approach to real estate. Along the way, Sandy discusses the value of standing out by being genuine and authentic, rather than blending into the "sea of sameness" that often characterizes the industry. She also explores the distinction between performance coaching and developmental coaching, advocating for a focus on sustainable growth rather than seeking quick fixes.Sandy goes on to highlight the crucial role of authenticity in building a personal brand that truly connects with clients. She advises against trying to be everything to everyone, stressing the importance of crafting a marketing strategy that reflects who you genuinely are.

Hello, and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we talk about the business and marketing side of plastic surgery, and how you want more cosmetic patients choosing you. I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of Your Aesthetic Practice – What your patients are saying, as well as consultant to plastic surgeons, to get them more patients and more profits. Now, today's episode is called "Want More Cosmetic Patients Choosing YOU?". If you want more cosmetic patients choosing you over your competitors, you don't rely on luck. You make it happen with the right mindset, proven strategies, and consistent execution that attracts new patients to you. But first, think about the confused cosmetic patient. They have a problem with their appearance, and they want help. But who is the best provider for them? And who can best address their emotions of fear, uncertainty, doubt and worry. Somehow, you have to get across to them that choosing you means they will get a result that makes them happy, and they will not regret it. So why are they going to choose you? The answer to that question is where the money is made. Please give it considerable thought. You have the skills to alter someone's appearance, so they look better and then feel better and more confidant as they move through life. That's a tall order because it's extremely personal. That decision is full of emotions: fear, uncertainty, doubt and worry. Somehow, you have to get across to them that that they will get the best possible outcome for their particular concern, and they will not regret it. In this week's Beauty and the Biz Podcast, I lay out (3) specific ways that help cosmetic patients choose you. P.S. Get the answers you need now and for the rest of your career at this special offer price for the Cosmetic Practice Vault. It's guaranteed to give you results or your money back.

Work is defined as “an activity involving mental or physical effort done to achieve a purpose or result.” Ok, but does it have to suck, being stressful, and burning people out? No! Let's discuss this.Lately, at least in the cybersecurity and technology industry, talking about burnout has become a common topic. There are talks at conferences, some companies are addressing the issue, and plenty of articles in many newspapers and magazines.It certainly is not a new thing, but why do we talk more about it nowadays, and are we doing enough to address the issue?In this podcast, we welcome back Stacy Thayer and open the conversation to a societal view. It is not just one industry problem but is something that may have deep roots in our society.Join us and let us know your thoughts._____________________________________Here is the link to the first podcast published in the Redefining Cybersecurity Channel:https://redefining-cybersecurity.simplecast.com/episodes/trying-to-be-everything-to-everyone-lets-talk-about-burnout-a-conversation-with-stacy-thayer-black-hat-2022-and-def-con-30-las-vegas-event-coverage-redefining-cybersecurity-podcast-with-sean-martin-and-marco-ciappelli About the session, "Trying to Be Everything to Everyone: Let's Talk About Burnout"Research shows computer security professionals describe the computer security industry as a high-risk yet high-reward profession with negative effects on the workforce. There is an estimated 805,000 computer security professionals working in the US, but meeting the business demand for computer security professionals would require 62% industry growth. This leaves those in the field understaffed and highly stressed, ultimately leading to burnout. Stress and burnout can lead to mental fatigue, which can negatively impact motivation and engagement. It can also cause diminishing focus and performance levels, and have a negative impact on operational security, satisfaction, and performance, both in the office and at home. This talk will discuss the existing research on burnout in the computer security industry and will discuss what really causes burnout, why it happens, and what you can do to mitigate it, including setting healthy boundaries, avoiding guilt, realistic ways to manage anxiety, and honest self-talk so you can identify what is needed to refill your energy and passion.I will discuss how to recognize burnout in hidden places and explore the root causes of it.I will address what to do about it – going beyond simply meditation, exercise, and healthy eating. If it was that easy, we would all be doing that. This talk is unique in that it will utilize a knowledge of practical psychology to keep it real and use behavioral change models as a guide for reducing burnout. How do you find motivation, appreciation, and time for yourself when it feels like the world around you is demanding you give more? You will leave this talk with a better understanding of how burnout happens, your personal relationship to burnout, and an idea of what to do to help reduce, relieve, and manage it.____________________________GuestStacy ThayerPh.D, Clinical and Organizational/Business Psychology, Norfolk State University [@Norfolkstate]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacythayer/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/DrStacyThayer____________________________This Episode's SponsorsBugcrowd

She also brings strong coaching skills to women, like you, who are tired of the limitations that you may not even be aware of. In her new book, Fuckless. A Guide to Wild, Unencumbered Freedom, she will guide you through the process of liberating yourself from the top 10 limitations (AKA Fucks) that we can give the middle finger to. Just a few Fucks that Gianna takes you through: 1) Be Small. 2) Be Soft. 3) Be Less 4) Be Stifled. 5) Be Everything. That last one got to me. There are 5 more and you will be nodding your head and turning pages to figure out how to work with these Fucks and finally say goodbye. You deserve to be connected to what YOU want. What YOU need. YOUR voice. YOUR feelings. YOUR values. Sticking up for what YOU deserve. Fighting through the fear to do all this.

The industry recognizes there is a problem with staff being overworked and reaching a point of burnout. What is the definition of burnout, and how can we spot the signs? Perhaps we need to look at this from a different angle to begin to make some progress in this area.In this conversation with Black Hat speaker, Dr Stacy Thayer, we explore the history, definition, and progress we are making as we attempt to deal with burnout and the overarching challenges of employee experience.About the session, "Trying to Be Everything to Everyone: Let's Talk About Burnout"Research shows computer security professionals describe the computer security industry as a high-risk yet high-reward profession with negative effects on the workforce.

The industry recognizes there is a problem with staff being overworked and reaching a point of burnout. What is the definition of burnout, and how can we spot the signs? Perhaps we need to look at this from a different angle to begin to make some progress in this area.In this conversation with Black Hat speaker, Dr Stacy Thayer, we explore the history, definition, and progress we are making as we attempt to deal with burnout and the overarching challenges of employee experience.About the session, "Trying to Be Everything to Everyone: Let's Talk About Burnout"Research shows computer security professionals describe the computer security industry as a high-risk yet high-reward profession with negative effects on the workforce. There is an estimated 805,000 computer security professionals working in the US, but meeting the business demand for computer security professionals would require 62% industry growth. This leaves those in the field understaffed and highly stressed, ultimately leading to burnout. Stress and burnout can lead to mental fatigue, which can negatively impact motivation and engagement. It can also cause diminishing focus and performance levels, and have a negative impact on operational security, satisfaction, and performance, both in the office and at home. This talk will discuss the existing research on burnout in the computer security industry and will discuss what really causes burnout, why it happens, and what you can do to mitigate it, including setting healthy boundaries, avoiding guilt, realistic ways to manage anxiety, and honest self-talk so you can identify what is needed to refill your energy and passion.I will discuss how to recognize burnout in hidden places and explore the root causes of it.I will address what to do about it – going beyond simply meditation, exercise, and healthy eating. If it was that easy, we would all be doing that. This talk is unique in that it will utilize a knowledge of practical psychology to keep it real and use behavioral change models as a guide for reducing burnout. How do you find motivation, appreciation, and time for yourself when it feels like the world around you is demanding you give more? You will leave this talk with a better understanding of how burnout happens, your personal relationship to burnout, and an idea of what to do to help reduce, relieve, and manage it.Be sure to catch all of our conversations from Black Hat and DEF CON 2022 at https://www.itspm.ag/bhdc22____________________________GuestStacy ThayerPh.D, Clinical and Organizational/Business Psychology, Norfolk State University [@Norfolkstate]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacythayer/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/DrStacyThayer____________________________This Episode's SponsorsCrowdSec | https://itspm.ag/crowdsec-b1vpEdgescan | https://itspm.ag/itspegwebPentera | https://itspm.ag/pentera-tyuw____________________________ResourcesSession | Trying to Be Everything to Everyone: Let's Talk About Burnout: https://www.blackhat.com/us-22/briefings/schedule/#trying-to-be-everything-to-everyone-lets-talk-about-burnout-28230____________________________For more Black Hat and DEF CON Event Coverage podcast and video episodes visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/black-hat-2022-and-def-con-hacker-summer-camp-las-vegas-usa-cybersecurity-event-and-conference-coverageAre you interested in telling your story in connection with Black Hat and DEF CON by sponsoring our coverage?

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Are you afraid to niche for your digital agency because you think it means saying no? Are you scared niching down will pigeonhole your agency and limit its potential? Think again! There are so many benefits when you choose to focus your agency services on a specific market. Joe Giovannoli worked for a full-service agency right out of college and decided to replicate that model when it came to building his own business. Like many agency owners, he was hesitant to focus on a specific market. But once his agency, 9Sail decided to niche down to just SEO for law firms and construction, they started to grow quickly. Joe is on the show sharing about niching down twice, life after learning to say no, and the most exciting deal his agency has landed. 3 Golden Nuggets Niching down twice. There is a lot of fear associated with niching down and making the switch to only go after a specific market or provide a specific service. Joe did this twice, once to change their service offering from a full-service agency to an SEO & SEM agency. Then again to focus on two specific industries with law and construction. Both times it was a scary step and he found himself relieved at the results. “We started getting more referrals. We've started getting more qualified leads, and we actually started to establish a name for ourselves in those spaces,” he says. Clients that take you with them. When asked about the most exciting deals they've gotten as an agency, Joe thinks back to the times they get referred by past clients. This is a testament to their work as an agency. Some of former clients have worked at several different companies over the years and each time they get to a new company they call 9Sail to work with them again. “That's the really exciting stuff,” he assures “the deals that we get referred in from a past client, or we get referred in from somebody that's happy.” Life after learning to say no. What is life after learning to say no to being the agency that does everything and choosing a niche where you can be an authority? “The word relaxed comes to mind,” Joe told Jason. For starters, the team feels comfortable learning the space and knowing they're going to use this knowledge time and time. Rather than always needing to learn the nuisances of different industries. Also, niching gives them an opportunity to build their pipeline where they chose the clients that are the right fit for the agency. This results in a more predictable means for growth.

While largely accurate, they may contain some errors.} Jason: [00:00:00] Hey, Joe, welcome to the show. I'm excited to have you on. Joe: [00:00:05] Yeah. Thanks. Excited to be here. Jason: [00:00:07] Tell us who you are and what do you do? Joe: [00:00:11] Uh, yeah, so, uh, my name's Joe Giovannoli. I am the founder and CEO of 9Sail. We are a search marketing company for law firms and construction companies. So we work on both the SEO organic side, as well as the paid search side of a marketing strategy that a law firm or construction company might have. Our goal is basically lead generation for those, those companies. Jason: [00:00:35] Awesome. And, uh, tell me a little bit about you and how you got started in the agency. Joe: [00:00:40] Yeah. So I actually, uh, had started a company while I was in college. Uh, that was a social media marketing agency. And then coming out of college, I decided to work for a full-service marketing firm, you know, really just to get more experience. I did sales and, you know, moved from there to another agency and realize that, you know, I love this agency world. I love the pace of it. I loved working with different clients and speaking with different business owners and, and marketing leaders. And I decided to start my own thing. So kind of fell into the industries that we are, that we're in now, you know, law firms and construction companies were just two really interesting spaces for us to be in. And we identified some opportunity in the market so we went for it. Jason: [00:01:24] Awesome. Joe: [00:01:25] Yeah. We didn't set out to be just an SEO and SEM company. We were a full-service agency cause that's what I, only thing I knew and frankly, I didn't know that I could break off services at the time when I started the company. So we've been an SEO and SEM company for the last five years. Jason: [00:01:43] What made you kind of drill down? Like what was the turning point or what was the aha moment? Joe: [00:01:50] Yeah, there was a lot to that. I mean, really being a full-service agency, unless you have, you know, teams of people specializing in each thing, it's very difficult to be an expert. So we had one of those situations and I always refer to the book by John Warrillow 'Built to Sell'. We had one of those moments where, you know, we had what we call fires all over the place. We had, you know, projects that were behind because a client was behind or, you know, somebody wasn't happy with the design or they had approved a design and then somebody, you know, told them, oh, you should try this. And then they want to changes. And, uh, meanwhile, some of our SEO clients are just reaching out on a weekly basis saying, hey, we just closed this great deal or, hey, we, you know, we settled the case that made us, you know, $50,000, you know, this is great, thanks so much. And we realized, you know, what? Light bulb. We need to specialize because we're really good at this and we can only get better with, with time and with practice and with process. So we said, you know what, let's cut the bait and really focus on what we know. Jason: [00:02:47] Yeah, you know, it takes a while to get there. You know, I was talking to, um, a mastermind member this week and when they joined, they were around the 500,000 mark and now they're around the 2 million mark. And I told them when you're going through this process, things will change. And a lot of times as things change, you have to make things simpler. And I was talking to a member and telling them how they had needed to drill down and say no to more things and really start eliminating some of the stuff that's not profitable or some of the stuff that's not streamlined that they do really well. And, um, I'm excited to see where they, they can go cause when agency owners figure that out, that's when they have substantial growth and then they run into all new issues. Joe: [00:03:38] Yeah. Honestly, that's like the launchpad, right? Is, you know, as soon as we recognize that and listen, we turn down more work than we take on a regular basis. And I have a couple of SEO agency partners that I have just grown to like and build relationships with. I say to a prospect, hey, it's not for me, but here's two names that I recommend that you reach out to. I can make personal intros for you if you'd like, but we know what our wheelhouse is. And the second that we start to stray from it we're not doing our people any favors internally because they can't see themselves as experts anymore because they're working on 20 different industries. And you know, we're not doing our clients any favors because we're in a way trying to reinvent the wheel over and over again, learning things that maybe another agency could do better than, than we can. Jason: [00:04:24] Yeah. What's the biggest deal or the most exciting deal that you guys have won? Joe: [00:04:31] That's an interesting question. So for us, we get just as excited over the small boutique law firms that we work with as we do when we get a big law firm. So one of our clients who was a very, I would say older law it was much older law firm in New Jersey, they just rebranded because one of the partners became a named partner. And so we are helping them through the transition of changing the name online from one to another. And, uh, you know, that has been super exciting. We've been fortunate to work with the chief culture officer there. She's now the chief culture officer. She's been at a couple of different law firms and, uh, we've had the opportunity to work with her pretty much everywhere she's went for the last five years. And, uh, that was really exciting. The deals that we get referred in from a past client, or we get referred in from somebody that's happy. That's the exciting stuff that we, we love working on. Jason: [00:05:37] Are you looking for a reliable partner to increase your agency's bandwidth so you can take on more projects? You know, our partner at E2M wants to help you grow your revenue, your profit margins without increasing your overhead costs.

You know, that just tells you, you do good work when, uh, you know, I used to, we would work with some of the biggest brands and then we would get, I remember this one time we got in bed with Aflac and we were real excited. We were like, we can do all kinds of really cool things with this duck. And the CMO got fired. And I was like, no! Like we were so close, but then that CMO got hired at another big firm or a big company and then they brought us in. It's always exciting when you get referrals or they take you along on the journey. I'm curious, what's been one of the biggest challenges that you guys overcame in the past couple years, that really made a difference for you guys? Joe: [00:07:30] Yeah, you know. You kind of touched on it earlier and it goes back to saying no. I had a real challenge ahead of me when I realized that we did have to say no to things, because for me revenue and dollars where ways to grow the company and kind of grow the talent on the team and, and add to the team. And so I really struggled for a long time to say no. And we had somebody come to us that knew of us and had been referred to us and essentially said, hey guys, we're willing to offer you pretty much three times what any of one client would typically pay us to kind of take over our search presence and know online presence. And it was so not a fit for anything that we had ever done and some back and forth conversation happened and we said, no. And that was a big thing for me because I am a helper. I like to help people. I like to be the guy to not say no. And I learned, and I realized that I could say no, but I could offer them a solution, right? And, and I think that, that for me was the way that, that we got over that. But I think that that's been the biggest thing that we've overcome. We have challenges today that we still face that we're still working through. And those will probably be the answer to that question in the future when we can solve them. But, you know, I think all in all our biggest thing was saying no. And I think we do that really well now. Jason: [00:08:56] Yeah. One of our mastermind members, Chris, when he learned to say no and he did something very similar to you. He had a bunch of strategic partners that were in the same space and he really scaled his digital agency by going to those partners and saying, hey, here's a perfect lead for you. Because he had such a high criteria for his clients, and they were still really good leads, but they would pass them to other people that do the exact same thing. And then they would replicate back and forth and really what became one relationship became a many relationships. It was when they started doing that, their digital agency scaled really quick and they really grew their agency fast. So what's life like now that you've learned to say no? Like what does your daily routine look like? Joe: [00:09:51] So we have our team kind of siloed out, you know, they work on, you know, I have, uh, somebody that's, their entire workload is law firms. I have actually two people that are in that way. I have one person that's just specifically focused on the contractors and construction companies. So it's been a lot calmer and what I've found too and, and we've been seeing a lot of success with this is that, you know, our clients don't compete with one another. That's another thing is we don't take clients on that directly compete in the same market. So we will get a, a backlink opportunity and we'll be able to leverage that relationship for a couple of different clients over the course of time, because a different, you know, it may be a good place for a blog article, like a guest blog or something of that nature. So for us, I think the word relaxed would come to mind because I think that the team can feel comfortable, you know, learning a space and, and knowing that they're going to use this time and time again, rather than kind of playing ping pong between different industries. But, you know, for myself personally, it's been great because growth is kind of predictable, right? Is if I say, you know, hey, I really want to add two new clients a month and you know, I want to grow at that scale for the next year and we want to make sure that we're getting the right size clients. For me to say no to a bunch of things isn't a big deal because I know that I'm building a pipeline and I'm referring things out to people, but I'm getting the people that I want, right? And in a way, now we're interviewing prospects to see if they're a fit for us, rather than, you know, scraping to grab everything and every dollar that comes our way. Jason: [00:11:23] I love it. Well, this has all been amazing. Is there anything I didn't ask you that you think would benefit the audience? Joe: [00:11:29] No, not really. Other than I would say, you know, again, we talked a lot about, you know, our niche and our niche and, or however you want to say it. And, uh, I think that it really is something that people fear. I've talked to so many entrepreneurs that they fear that switch, right? That change of like, oh, well, we're going to only go after this or we're only going to provide this specific service. And we did that twice. We did that with the service, changing our service offering, and then we did it again by picking a specific set of clients. And both times it was the most nerve-wracking yet rewarding thing in literally six months. Like it went from being like a, oh my God, I can't believe we did this to and like, are we doing the right thing? To wow. We opened the flood gates. We told people, this is what we specialize in. We started getting more referrals. We've started getting more qualified leads, and we actually started to establish a name for ourselves in those spaces. And we are no longer trying to be everything to everybody. We're just trying to be everything to somebody, right? And we are trying to be that go-to person for search marketing in these two spaces. Especially in the legal space, in and around the New Jersey, New York market people know our name, they, we are part of that conference, Jason: [00:12:40] Yeah. I love that when I see digital agencies really do that, then they can say, well, it really steamrolls a whole, whole thing in order to scale the agency, because now you can be selective of who you take on, you can raise your prices to whatever you want, based on the value and their expectations. You know, we were talking about this in the mastermind. I was asking people like, well, when do you guys raise your pricing? And some people are like, well, once a year, but we only do that for new people coming in and we were talking about strategy. We were like, look, you should all set up tiers and saying, the next five clients are at this price. The next five clients is this price. And then once we get to this level, then we're going to go back to all our existing ones and raise it. And just little small changes like that can grow profitability because everyone focuses on top-line revenue and that's, I think bullshit. I think it's all-around profitability because when we come in and we buy an agency, we're looking at profitability. I don't care if you're a 10 million, $20 million agency. If you don't have any profit, you're not worth anything. Joe: [00:13:47] Right. Yeah. Well, it's funny you say that. So we operate a little differently than that model, but I think in the same vein. So we have set three, five, and 10-year targets as to what our average client is going to be worth. And again, to your point, we look at both top-line revenue, but a profit, right? So we have it worked out where we know if they're at a top-line revenue at this all of our expenses are completely baked out. We know what our profit's going to be. So we've set those targets and essentially we know now that very similar to how, cause we also run traction, very similar to how you set quarterly rocks. We set quarterly expectations as to what our clients need to be paying at that point in order to make sure that the average of all of the clients that we have equals out to that number. So, you know, we're really excited for that. And it is something that the entire team kind of grabs onto because they also know that the higher the dollar figure that the client is paying, the less clients that they're managing and the more detailed they can get with their clients, right? So, and we try to explain this to our small law firms all the time is that, you know, you're taking the right step by doing the work that we're doing and working with us. But the reality is if you were paying four times this, right? You're going to have somebody that pretty much read a 50% of their time is going to be dedicated to just your stuff and think about all of the things that they could accomplish for your brand if they were solely focused on you. Jason: [00:15:09] I love it. Joe: [00:15:09] It's selling that vision. Jason: [00:15:11] Yeah. Tell us what's the website people go and check you guys out. Joe: [00:15:15] Yeah. So, uh, our company is 9sail.com. So it's the number nine, sail, like a sailboat, S A I L. Check us out. We're in the process of redoing that site again, you know, we're going to be expanding some of our SEO services to granularize some of the things that we do really well. Digital PR is a, is on the horizon for us, something that we're going to be breaking down because it is pretty much the same thing as the backlinking that we do just, you know, on a, on a larger scale. So we are super, super excited about it, but yeah, check us out at 9sail.com. Jason: [00:15:46] Awesome. Well, thanks so much for coming on the show. You rocked it.

[00:42:24] Where to Find Isaac Grace? [00:45:03] In This Episode You'll Learn: In this episode, Casanova talks with Isaac Grace. He shares his tumultuous journey from hustling on the streets to amateur boxing career, to eventually discovering the world of wholesaling real estate. He shares the mindset that helped him secure over a million dollars in revenue and become The Millennial Hope Dealer. Key Quotes: “At 13 years old, I learned so much about myself, where I wasn't going to allow anyone to dictate my future…” “From 17 to 21, I hustled, chase this dream in boxing, and I just knew that I had to find something…” “Wholesaling real estate was what really caught me because you didn't need a lot of experience in real estate. You didn't need no credit and you really didn't need a lot of money…” “I learned that information changes compensation and the power of knowledge and I that's my blueprint to get everything. I want to seek the knowledge and find it and execute on it…” “Wholesaler in the simplest form is you acting as a real estate professional acting as a middleman connecting cash buyers in the market with motivated sellers…” There's four important components of success in this business of wholesaling: lead generation, cash buyers, systems, and list builder. “So you want to learn how to systemize things that keeps your time freed up to do the higher priority tasks…” “Literally reverse wholesaling is like this. You just go out there and build your buyers list first and let the buyers teach you about the market, and then you follow the trends of what they give you…” “I try to teach people all the time is if you're going to go out and you want to do multiple things, you got to have a team, you got to have leverage…” – Casanova Brooks “I wish I would took a lot more serious and that's really my message for everybody, y'all hear is go through the growing pains early on, go through the unsureness, go through the study and go through the resilience and not quit and go see that seller when you don't know what the heck you talking about…” Links/Resources: https://reww.com/smart-system/ Smart System – Real Estate Investing Software – Real Estate Worldwide (reww.com) realestatepack.com https://www.instagram.com/mrissacgrace Help us out?

As a dentist, you can't be everything for everyone. Most of us learn this the hard way. On this podcast, Dr Alistair Graham shares with us the value he gained from narrowing his career path and skill set in dentistry. Determining the kind of dentist he wanted to be allowed him to focus his efforts and concentrate his skill development in the areas of dentistry that were right for him. Today, he and his team have absolute clarity on the kind of patient they want to attract to their clinic and as a result, they only perform the kind of dentistry they love. This is by design. He explores the decision making process that every dentist has to go through to gain focus in their own career and determine the path that's right for them. The post TIP #58 – You Can't Be Everything to Everyone with Dr Alistair Graham appeared first on Dental Head Start.

We all have bad days. We also have those moments we struggle to move forward from these experiences and would rather sink into a pit of despair. But I'm here to share with you 7 reminders that will help you avoid the self-sabotage tendencies & time spent dwelling on those bad moments & experiences. Show Notes:Everyone has bad days. There is no debating that. And yeah, you can make the most of everything happening, focus on what you do have in life & everything you can be grateful for, but sometimes you just need to do more than that.Life isn't perfect and we all know this. But the fact that we all know this means we need to stop expecting it to be perfect, as well. You can't know something to be true but still expect the opposite. It's not logical. But we do it & it really only hurts yourself.And the last thing you want to do on your bad days is make it worse for yourself & feel like you are sinking deeper into the hole of despair. And it can be really tough to come up with something encouraging in the moment of dealing with our bad days, which is why I wanted to talk about some good reminders to tuck into the back of your mind for the next time we have to deal with this inevitable experience.But before we jump into my reminders, just know that the old phrase that life is 10% of what happens to you & 90% how you react to everything. This phrase is very true. Sometimes the easiest way to turn your day around is to not give life to your initial reaction. Take a breath & figure out what reaction would serve you best in that moment.I'm going to share 7 reminders with you today to have in the back of your mind or write down right now and keep somewhere you look often, so you can reflect on these reminders to get you out of your funk.Your Worth Isn't Equal to Your CircumstancesYou Can't Be Everything to EveryoneIt's Okay to Ask for HelpCrying Isn't Weak, It's an Rightful Expression of EmotionsKeep Being Yourself, Even if Someone Else Struggles to Accept YouNot Getting What You Want Sometimes is a BlessingTreat Tomorrow with a Fresh PerspectiveLet me know which reminder you liked best or one of your own!

In this special between-a-sode, we talk about Emilie Wapnick’s book How to Be Everything. We discuss resonating with the idea of being a multipotentialite – or on team do-all-the-things – and Wapnick’s four categories: Group huggers, Slashers, Einsteins, and Phoenixes. We discuss the challenges and strengths with building our businesses as multipotentialites,and share how impatience often tells us when to move on to the next thing. Transcript (.docx) We answer: Are we group huggers? Slashers? Einsteins? And/or Phoenixes? How does impatience and the loathing scale play a role in how and when we decide to make changes? Recommended Resources for this Episode: How to be Everything – Emily Wapnick – the idea that some people are multipotentialites whereas the societal pressure is to specialize.

This week on the show, I’m joined by Emilie Wapnick, Jamie Ridler, and Melissa Dinwiddie for a roundtable on being a multi-passionate person. As a multi-passionate, or multi-potentialite (or scanner, or renaissance soul), we can relate to having lots of different interests and not wanting to narrow our work or creativity down to focus to just one thing. This roundtable focuses on the unique challenges of putting structure and planning around the creativity and myriad of interests that each of us have. It’s a great discussion! This episode is airing this week in honor of the Multi-passionate Must Haves bundle, which is on sale from May 15-17, 2018. It includes 17 amazing courses, programs, and resources specially created for multipotentialites, like you. If you bought all of these goodies separately, you would pay $1585, but you can snag it all for just $97 during this sale. Here’s why you need to listen to this episode: I know that from working with a lot of creative people, many of whom identify as a multi-passionate, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. From having a hard time narrowing down the next thing to focus on, to feeling anxious about picking one thing (when it feels like it means you’re saying no to the other things), it can be hard to put structure around the multi-passionate brain, and reign in all of those great ideas. This week, four experts talk about creating structure that works for you, so that you can create and complete projects that align with your many passions. We talk about focusing on taking action, and not getting stuck before you start work, which in turn and enables you to work past the overwhelm, and get moving. By putting some simple structure in place, it means you have more room to play, to explore, and to bring some of your many ideas to life. In this episode, Melissa Dinwiddie, Jamie Ridler, Emilie Wapnick and I talk about: Being a Multi-passionate, and working with having more than just one passion you want to focus on Our earliest sparks of Joy: Emilie: making things Jamie: concocting things, dancing, and improv Melissa: dancing, playing with animals, operas The challenges of being a multipassionate: finding balance, while still maintaining variety The offerings we each have in the Multi-passionate Must Haves bundle: Emilie: 5 interviews from her book, “How to be Everything” Melissa: Erase the Chaos, how to work through your mile long to do list, and provide yourself with more space and ease Jamie: Planning Day, her most popular product, which provides form, structure and freedom around your multi-passionate and creative interests Why Multipassionates often stop doing something before it’s what is considered traditionally “finished” - we often get what we need out of the interest, and are done when we’re done What we do when we’re faced with a long list of things we want to try or do, and worry we’ll lose track of the ideas How to jumpstart your joy: Jamie: dance, photography, eating without distraction Melissa: doodling, gratitude, generosity Emilie: singing karaoke, swimming in a natural body of water, the ritual of coffee Paula: singing made up songs, cuddling puppies, wearing sparkly shoes Resources How to Be Everything by Emilie Wapnick on Amazon Emilie Wapnick’s website, Puttylike Melissa Dinwiddie’s website Jamie Ridler’s website Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott on Amazon Refuse to Choose by Barbara Sher on Amazon
Mike Vardy, my friend and mentor, joins me today to talk about scheduling your life. Mike helped me organize my business and projects, and I believe his advice and framework can be life-changing for you too. He’s the founder of Productivityist and the host of the Productivityist podcast, as well as a three-time author and a regular contributor to outlets including Lifehacker and The Huffington Post. Tune in to learn how you can harness time to achieve your fullest potential and make the most of your days, months, and years! Connect With Mike: Productivityist Mike Vardy @mikevardy on Twitter @Productivityist on Twitter Mike Vardy on Facebook The Mission Log: [03:55] - Believe it or not, Mike used to struggle with organization and keeping things in perspective, and still finds it challenging. [05:51] - How does Mike go about planning his year? In his answer, he talks about when his year starts and the concept of giving themes to each month. [10:09] - Mike gives a specific example of how his monthly theme applies to the things he decides to do. [15:02] - Orion points out that what Mike has been talking about is the difference between being task-oriented and goal-oriented. [15:58] - Mike explores another way that themed days can be helpful, and explains that people have more control over their time than they think. [20:50] - What are some examples of Mike’s themed months, weeks, and days, and what is the horizontal way of blocking time? [24:58] - Mike gives an example: instead of saying “get fit” in January, your monthly theme might be decluttering, which would involve decluttering your pantry. [26:17] - Weekly sprints override monthly themes, Mike explains, and talks about how this can function. [28:50] - Mike talks about how he decides which day of his week has which theme, and shares a story about a request his wife made.

This week, I’m delighted to have Lara Heacock joining me for the second installment of the Friendpreneur Series. This series focuses on conversations with friends, who are entrepreneurs. Many of the people are friends I’ve met either through the show (and have been on before!) or through contacts in coaching. I’ve found that starting and running a small business is something very new to many of us, who have grown up without examples of people who are entrepreneurs in our day-to-day. I had the pleasure of meeting Lara in coach training over three years ago in the Courageous Living Coaching Certification program. She’s so full of life and joy and I have loved getting to know her better, and seeing her grow her coaching practice. She’s joining me this week for the Friendpreneur Series to share about her new book - Practical Kindness, and balancing a 9 to 5 job with her coaching. We laugh, we share lots of entrepreneur tips, and I know you’ll love getting to know her. Lara and I talk about: Bringing kindness and joy to corporate settings and work Recognizing that there will always be fear in pursuing our dreams How to work with fear Holding ourselves accountable for kindness Lara’s experience in writing her new book, Practical Kindness The courage of being imperfect Creating boundaries and having difficult discussions The rise of the gig economy and how it ties in to 9 to 5 jobs Masterminds and the importance of connections as an entrepreneur Tips tricks and tools: finding a mastermind, figuring out what works for you energetically, don’t pick up your phone first thing in the morning when you wake up, and getting in touch with what you need in each moment Resources Lara Heacock’s site: Kind Over Matter Practical Kindness by Lara Heacock (on Amazon) Amazing alarm clock on Amazon Gretchen Rubin’s four tendencies framework test Emilie Wapnick’s “How to Be Everything” on Amazon Past Friendpreneur Series: Christy Tending on Self Advocacy, Going Beyond Self Care

Today's show is the first in a new three-part series with designer, writer, and educator Anne Ditmeyer. In 2013 I interviewed Anne for Creating Your Own Path before it was a podcast. In the episode, I’m talking with Anne about how she has been able to successfully build a creatively fulfilling business across many different mediums and platforms. She chats about how living in France, and the constraints it put on her work situation, ultimately made her more creative, how she decides what platforms to use to showcase and provide access to her work, and why she’s never wanted to blog for a living — even though her blog is well-known and established.

Today I talk with Drew Ackerman of the Sleep with Me Podcast. I met him at Podfest.us and I was amazed at the amount of detail he puts into a show that has a singular goal of putting you to sleep. In the interview you will hear: How Drew started his show with not the best of equipment His "Let's See What Happens" attitude How he picks the not too boring, not too entertaining topics. How he pushed through when he thought about quitting What inspired him to start the podcast How he takes it seriously, but not too seriously. What countries just don't get his show. The listener email that left him humbled. His massive amount of downloads reported in the Washington Post Check out Drew's Sleep With Me Podcast at www.sleepwithmepodcast.com Anchor.fm Trying Hard to Be Everything and Succeeding at.... I took another look at Anchor.fm now that you can create a podcast for free. This is another great example of a company knowing NOTHING about podcasting and jumping into the space. Leading people who are uninformed into situations that they are going to hate in a few months. They are going to control your feed if you let them submit your podcast feed "for you" which means later you won't be able to see your Apple stats. As a feedback mechanism, it's easy to receive feedback, but impossible to get it off your phone (and if they knew anything about podcasting they would know this). For now, I'm going to play with it for a week, but getting these files into a podcast (not using their horrible system) is not easy. Ready To Start a Podcast?

Emilie Wapnick is what she calls a “multipotentialite”. And recently I learned, I'm one too. There's a good chance if you're reading this, you have some multipotentilite tendencies as well. According to Emilie's site: "Multipotentialites generally have diverse interests across numerous domains and may be capable of success in many endeavors or professions, they are confronted with unique decisions as a result of these choices." In her new book, How to be everything - A Guide for Those Who Still Don't Know What They Want to Be When They Grow Up, Emilie dissects exactly what it means to be one of these gifted, multi-talented individuals. In it, she explains how you can more easily approach a world where specialization reigns supreme, and we learn that in today's society flexibility can prove to be more lucrative than specialty. I first came across Emilie's work when one of my clients told me about her community of multipotentialites, called “the puttytribe” and I knew I had to connect with her. As someone who firmly believes that not everyone is built to follow one true passion, I knew that Emilie would have some awesome insights to share. Apparently I'm not the only one who resonates with this concept, because her TEDx talk titled “Why some people don't have a true calling” went viral and has since been viewed over 3 MILLION times. Emilie is paving the way for the polymath/multipotentialite community, and really anyone who has ever felt like they couldn't be fit into a box.

The three most common areas of stress or concern for people who identify as multipotentialites.
