Sometimes, it takes a life-altering moment to break free from the comfort of routine and see what truly matters. A near-fatal accident can shatter the illusion of stability, forcing a shift in priorities and a deeper search for meaning. What once felt safe—corporate life, predictable paychecks—can suddenly seem hollow in the face of newfound clarity. For many, that wake-up call becomes the catalyst for reinvention, turning survival into purpose and routine into passion.Greg Ray is an entrepreneur and outdoor enthusiast from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He founded Outdoor Solutions, offering hunting trips, firearms training, and culinary experiences. After a serious accident in 2005, he turned his side hustle into a thriving business focused on long-range shooting and ethical hunting. Through his YouTube channel and educational programs, he's made a strong impact in the hunting industry. Today, Greg shares his journey of resilience and passion, emphasizing his Field to Table program, which teaches hunting, processing, and cooking wild game while fostering community in the outdoors. Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond!Quotes: “None of us are promised another tomorrow, so it gives you a whole different appreciation and outlook on life.” – Greg Ray“Always keep an open mind and be nice to everybody, because you never know who you might be working with or working for at some point.” – Greg Ray“There's always going to be struggles, but after going through what I went through, there's not much that really worries me.” – Greg RayTakeaways:Learn proper firearm handling, ethical hunting practices, and local hunting regulations before your first hunt.Start a journal or video log tracking your progress in a new outdoor skill, whether it's shooting, hunting, or field dressing game.Reach out to someone experienced in hunting, firearms, or outdoor skills who can guide your learning and provide real-world insights.Choose an outdoor activity that teaches practical skills and builds deeper relationships through shared experiences.Look for opportunities that combine skill development with community and practical knowledge transfer.Conclusion:Success in business often comes from a willingness to adapt and find opportunity in unexpected places. Side projects can grow into something much larger when approached with creativity and persistence. Beyond financial gains, the most rewarding ventures are those that bring people together and add real value to their communities. A flexible mindset and a focus on long-term impact can turn small ideas into something truly significant.

On this episode of the Passive Income Attorney Podcast, Seth is joined by his friend and fellow passive income expert Chad Wittfeldt, as they talk about building your business around your life rather than the other way around. Inside this episode, you'll learn how to live with purpose and with your end game in mind, so that you can choose the right passive income streams for you. Chad is an entrepreneur, master marketer, and real estate investor passionate about freedom, flexibility, and fun. Enjoy the show! “Just be bold, be yourself, and just do what your gut tells you to do. All it takes is one or two wins from doing just that, and you'll feel unstoppable.” HIGHLIGHTS: Here's a breakdown of what to expect in this episode: Changing to an abundant mindset at an early age resulted from exposure to business owners Using the Wall Street rule of time allocation to your advantage How to be on the cutting edge of cryptocurrency investing Designing a life according to your liking by having a business that can run on its own How you can buy back your time and do the things you love And so much more!   ABOUT | CHAD WITTFELDT: Chad is an entrepreneur and a real estate investor. He started his entrepreneurial journey at a very young age. He quickly got started investing in equities and currency markets in his teens and later moved into real estate investments. While real estate has always been his interest, he didn't know how to get into the market at the time effectively. So he put his skill set to use and has since syndicated over $30,000,000 in apartments. This growth later spawned his marketing agency, where he serves other entrepreneurs by building their attraction-based marketing systems and automation. Today, Chad stays focused on his businesses, creating cash flow, and living a life they told him he couldn't have.   FIND | CHAD WITTFELDT: Website: www.chadwittfeldt.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/chad.wittfeldt ✈️ CONNECT | SETH BRADLEY:

Today's episode is part 2 of last week's podcast, where Mike goes into the details of Icewraps' sale, how he built up profitability from being in a loss at the start of the year, and the mindset he had during negotiations.  Today's episode is sponsored by Autron. Maximize your ROI with Autron's real-time algorithmic bidding, optimizing every ad dollar for smarter spending and higher returns. Start optimizing today and get 30% off for 3 months! It's been nearly 10 years since I first bought IceWraps.  After a long journey of facing Amazon's sudden fee increases, COVID and logistical challenges, I felt that it was time for me to take some chips off the table and finally sell off the last ecommerce business that I'm holding.  It's time for me to get some breathing room back, and move on to another project.  Takeaways Raising prices and cutting unnecessary costs helped turn the business from a loss to being profitable. Transitioning to AWD reduced storage costs significantly. When you have the mindset of being done and over a business, you might be willing to do all it takes to sell. However, it's important to maintain a two-way street and make sure you don't accept terms that seem unfair.  Timestamps 00:00 - The Journey of Selling Ice Wraps 03:07 - Challenges Faced During the Sale 05:56 - Turning the Business Around 09:13 - Cost-Cutting Strategies 12:08 - The Sale Process and Negotiations 15:02 - Finalizing the Sale and Transition 17:55 - Reflections on the Sale 20:59 - Lessons Learned and Future Outlook As always, if you have any questions or anything that you need help with, reach out to us at support@ecomcrew.com if you're interested.  Don't forget to leave us a review on iTunes if you enjoy our content. If you have any questions, send us an email at support@ecomcrew.com.

BUSINESS COACHING: Why You Need To Start A Business Around Need Welcome to another insightful episode of Join Up Dots! Today, we're diving into one of the most crucial principles for aspiring entrepreneurs: the importance of building a business around what people need, not just what they want.  Understanding this key difference can be the foundation of your success, providing a reliable income and long-term growth.  Why Focusing on Needs is Vital When you create a business centered around people's needs, you tap into a consistent and steady demand. Unlike products that cater to fleeting desires, needs are essential for daily living. This makes your business more resilient and less susceptible to economic ups and downs. For instance, healthcare products and utilities like electricity and water are indispensable. People will always need these, ensuring a stable market. David Ralph, our very own, illustrates this beautifully with his ventures. Let's take a closer look at how his projects demonstrate the power of necessity-driven businesses. David Ralph's Business Ventures David's book on beating tinnitus is a prime example. Tinnitus is a condition that affects many people, causing a persistent ringing in the ears. By providing solutions to this genuine health concern, David addresses a critical need. People suffering from tinnitus are actively seeking ways to alleviate their symptoms, making this book a necessity for their well-being. Moving on to his EV charging business, David has tapped into the growing demand for electric vehicle infrastructure. As more people transition to electric cars, the need for accessible and reliable charging stations is undeniable. This isn't just a want; it's a necessity for EV owners to keep their vehicles running. David's business leverages the global shift towards sustainable transportation, positioning itself in a market with escalating demand. David also runs a car shop, catering to the essential need for vehicle maintenance and repair. Cars are a vital mode of transport, especially in areas with limited public transportation. Owning and maintaining a car becomes a necessity, ensuring a steady flow of customers. This venture exemplifies how addressing everyday needs can create a stable and lucrative business.  The Power of Supply and Demand Understanding supply and demand is fundamental in business. Items with high demand and limited supply, like concert tickets, become more valuable as they become scarce. This principle works brilliantly with needs-based products, which typically have a consistent demand. When you control the supply of a necessary product, you can capitalize on this consistent demand, driving prices up and ensuring profitability.  Building Customer Loyalty When you solve a critical need, customers are more likely to develop loyalty to your brand. Needs drive repeat business, as customers continuously seek to fulfill these essential aspects of their lives. This leads to higher retention rates and a stronger, more reliable revenue stream. David's ventures show that by addressing fundamental needs, you not only attract customers but also keep them coming back.  Resilience in Economic Downturns Businesses that meet essential needs tend to be more resilient during economic downturns. When people tighten their budgets, they cut back on luxuries but continue to spend on necessities. By focusing on products and services that are indispensable, your business can weather economic challenges more effectively. David's businesses in healthcare, EV charging, and automotive services highlight how necessity-driven ventures can thrive even in tough times.  Join Up Dots and Your Path to Success In this episode, we explore how you can apply these principles to your own entrepreneurial journey. By identifying and addressing needs within your market, you can build a business with steady demand, loyal customers, and resilience in any economic climate. David Ralph's experiences offer valuable insights and inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs looking to create lasting success. Tune in to this episode of Join Up Dots and discover how focusing on needs over wants can transform your business approach. Learn from David's real-world examples and get practical tips on identifying essential needs in your market. Whether you're just starting out or looking to pivot your existing business, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you succeed.  Share and Spread the Word If you find this episode helpful, don't keep it to yourself!

Do you want to live in alignment with your purpose and values? Read our new book, The Score That Matters https://amzn.to/3Igx1Ue Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Notes on my conversation with former CEO of 7-Eleven and Blockbuster, Jim Keyes: From adversity to the stars. Per ardua ad astra is a Latin phrase meaning "through adversity to the stars.” Adversity is your advantage. The tough moments you're going through will help you be stronger long term. This is a useful mindset shift. "Adversity is an advantage." How did Jim get hired the first time and continually get promoted? He told the truth.  He was unafraid to tell it like it really was. No fluffy language. He got right to it and let them know how he could help them. He focused on THEM, not him. They don't care about why you think you deserve the job. They care about their company and if you'll be able to help solve their problems. Focus on them, their issues, and how you can help them. That's what Jim has done his entire career. The C-Suite Learnings What – Change, Confidence, Clarity How - Critical thinking (ask why), curiosity, and creativity (have fun) Why - Collaboration, Culture literacy (learn from others experiences), and character Jim became one of the youngest managers in this history of McDonald's. "The only one that likes change is a wet baby. Change is reality. Change equals opportunity." CEO = "Change Equals Opportunity." Confidence is all about preparation. The more you prepare, the more confident you'll be. Clarity and Simplicity. "The hardest thing in the world is to keep things simple." "True elegance is in simplicity." "I can't lead if you can't understand. So, it's up to me to keep things simple and clear." Nelson Mandela once said, “I never lose…I win, or I learn.” "There are three prerequisites to a successful business transformation in the face of change: cash management, confidence, and collaboration. Managing cash flow is, by far, the most important but maintaining sufficient cash requires confidence and collaboration."
