“An intro video needs to let people know, ‘Hey, this is who the show's for, and this is what you're about to see, what you're about to witness.' And that audio is a huge component of it. It has to really, just, it has to just feel right. There's really not a way to explain it, even though that's kind of my job here on a podcast is to explain it.

In this episode of Big Ticket Life, Jeff addresses experiences of sexual abuse, mental abuse, and trauma in order to provide tips on turning difficult times into growth and leadership. He encourages viewers and listeners to use the pain of the past to create space for others and support their own personal growth. One of the most important aspects of leadership is the ability to turn trauma into growth and leadership. Trauma can have a lasting impact on a person's life and can be difficult to overcome. However, it is possible to use trauma to grow and become a better leader. When faced with trauma, it can be easy to become overwhelmed and feel helpless. However, it is important to recognize that although the trauma may have happened, it does not have to define who you are or how you lead. It is possible to use the trauma as an opportunity to learn and grow. Creating space for others is an important part of this journey. It is not enough to simply have a strong vision and the courage to follow it. We must also have the capacity to make room for others to join us. We must be able to listen and understand the experiences of others. We must be willing to provide a safe and supportive environment for people to share their stories. We hope this episode encourages as many leaders as possible to take the first step, no matter how hard it may be. This serves as a reminder that it's okay to open up, to share our stories, and to seek help. By taking that first step, we can create a more understanding and supportive environment for ourselves and for others.Welcome to The Big Ticket Life where you'll be inspired by driven leaders doing life and business on their terms. They break the rules, they see the opportunities. They've had struggles, they've had highs and lows, yet they've always remained focused on the goal: a life and business led by themselves on their terms. They're unapologetically focused on their success and the success of those around them. We celebrate success around here because we live The Big Ticket Life.

On this episode of The Big Ticket Life podcast, we're honored to have Stacy Raske join the show as a guest. Leadership is an important skill that can be difficult to learn. It is a skill that requires self-discipline, self-awareness, and self-confidence.

During her time in the military, she was part of the first wartime deployment on home soil since the Civil War. She was involved in the cleanup of the Pentagon after the 9/11 attacks and was on the front lines when the US invaded Iraq in 2003.Raske believes that self-mastery is “Gangster AF” and is passionate about helping others learn to self-lead. She has combined her military, corporate, and entrepreneurial leadership experiences to create a holistic approach to self-leadership. Her approach focuses on self-discipline, self-awareness, and self-confidence as the core components of self-leadership.

You can stop being a ChEVO in your business and move into an investor seat - where you have achievable goals, and more importantly get paid first when the business makes a profit.• An investor doesn't need to be present in the day-to-day minutia of the business, but rather focuses on high-level strategies to help it grow. • When investors take time away from their businesses, they are really taking their own time away from building other businesses, and living life on their terms which includes their family, loved ones and personal interests.In this episode, Jeff provides a tactical roadmap that moves you out of the ChEVO behaviors and brings you closer to the investor seat in your business so that you can truly live your Big Ticket Life.Unhappy With Freedom & IncomeIf you're happy doing in the work business and happy with income and freedom levels this isn't for youIf you want more freedom, time and income to live on your terms then you must shift from owner and CEO (CHEVO) seat to the investor seatThe Investor Seat Is Empty In Your BusinessIf you're always putting out firesAlways have to be the one doing the selling closing premium customersYou feel obligated to be in the business, workingYou're told that if you are “absent” the business will failWhat Sitting In Your Own Investor Seat Looks Likeyour business runspays you wellGenerates profit without you in ityou have a teamyou delegateyou don't sell or fulfill on the front linesYour Day As Your Own InvestorTwo things you never delegate marketing and the checkbookThe true investor focuses on revenue growth Not so much margin and expensesMost importantly price elasticity Creating repeatable promotions and eventsExtending the customer retention and repeat sale rateIncreasing the customer ticket and salemarketing assets BooksAds - print, digital, tv, radioSelling processFulfillment processAll of this when done right creates your brandTwo Other Investor Seats To DiscussAlternatively the investor seat can also mean you get a cash payday via equity infusion, partnership or sale (partial) or whole and then onto the next thingBut for any of these three investor seats to open up - your own seat, equity infusion, buyout here's what must happen firstStop being the bullet catcherMust have a teamMust have systemsMust have marketing assetsMust have a system for generating new offersPurpose, Mission, ValuesSystem to handle issuesGenerate reviews Welcome to The Big Ticket Life where you'll be inspired by driven leaders doing life and business on their terms.

COPreneurs should be well versed in the practice of thinking ahead. ...should. Do you know where you want to be in a year? Two? Five? Do you eventually want to exit your company? Are you putting the things in place NOW that you'll need in order to make that happen? Or are your SOPs, your strategies, and your company roles only pointed to the present? Worse, are they trying to catch up to where you currently are? Don't wait until it happens, start acting on what is to come. This episode pairs well with episode 105.
