Hey there, lovely! Let's have a heart-to-heart about why diets with tons of restrictions can often lead to frustration and, well, let's face it, throwing in the towel. First off, diets tend to make us feel deprived. When we're told we can't have something, it's like a challenge to our willpower, right?  But guess what?  Willpower is like a finite resource, and when it's constantly tested, it can wear thin.  Secondly, diets often focus on short-term fixes, promising quick results. But life, especially for us fabulous women in our 40s, is about the long game. We need sustainable, lifelong changes that make us feel amazing every day, not just for a few weeks.  And oh, the guilt that comes with breaking diet rules!  It's like a never-ending cycle of feeling bad about enjoying food. We should be savoring the good stuff without all that shame. So, instead of diets, let's shift our mindset. It's about nourishing our bodies with healthy, delicious alternatives that make us feel fantastic from the inside out.  It's about balance, not deprivation. It's about embracing the journey to a healthier you, not rushing to a finish line. Whether your goal is to step onto a fitness competition stage or shop in your own closet, we hope you enjoy the tips, tricks and hacks to satisfy your cravings, enjoy the foods you love while NOT expanding your waistline!  Coach Crystal xo  P.S Interested in learning more about competing?  Email me and complete the application below!  Submit your question - > info@r3volvelife.com  Join our Fit Beyond 40 For Women Community - > https://bit.ly/3cKB3Vj  Click here to learn more about the R3 Team: https://www.r3volvelife.com/competing-beyond-40

I hope you have been enjoying listening to the men's perspective on bodybuilding and fitness with the addition of my new weekly discussion episodes with my husband Vassilios hosting with me.  He and I will be back again later this week with another episode. We also record these live every week in the Everything Else in bodybuilding podcast insiders Facebook group in case you want to watch these episodes and participate in the discussion in real time. But today it's just me here sharing some of my thoughts on a topic that I think is very important for those who wish to compete in more than one federation.  Over the years the bodybuilding industry has changed a lot and more and more federations have popped up giving people new opportunities to compete in their local area. There are also the federations that have grown into empires with a large pool of participants and a large number of shows around the country and world.  With this many organizations and opportunities to compete, I've had many people ask me what are the rules on changing federations? I've mentioned it before that many coaches will align with a particular federation and only coach athletes for shows within that federation. Some coaches will only coach athletes for drug tested federations because of their strong belief in natural bodybuilding. Some coaches will only coach for NPC because they believe that their federation is the only one of value in the bodybuilding industry. And some don't care where you compete and will coach you anywhere you wish to go. This is relevant for posing coaches too. Many stay in their lane and coach for the division they competed in themselves. Some will only coach for the federation they competed with. There is nothing wrong with specializing in one area. For example, when I was searching for an orthopedic for an injury, I had to weed through the orthopedics on the office roster to find a doctor that worked on the area of the body I needed help with. Just like in bodybuilding there are specialists within specialists.  This is very common. I consider what I personally do uncommon because because my speciality is posing for ALL bodybuilding federations and all men and women divisions. I work with hundreds of athletes a year and this year alone I've taught posing for athletes in over 10 federations. My current roster includes men and women bodybuilders, classic physique competitors, wellness competitors, figure competitors, bikini competitors, men's physique competitors, women's physique competitors, fit body competitors, glamour, and the list goes on. In any given day I will switch between all the divisions by the hour. And my virtual group classes will include anywhere between 3-5 divisions in one hour. Yes, in one of my classes, I will manage, teach, and provide value to men and women in 5 divisions at ONCE.  Wonder how I provide value to so many? Well you have to come and see. Right now in one of my classes that has 5 divisions, most of these students have been in the classes for 9 months. Those who leave tend to come back. And many tell their friends and teammates about the classes. So my speciality is very specific in that it's posing for all of bodybuilding, but it is much broader than what you are going to find anywhere else. The reason I say all of this, is because my experience means I know all the different nuances among the federations.  And today I'm going to share my thoughts on some dos and don'ts and spoken and unspoken rules when switching between federations. Let me first say that there are two very different paths you can take in bodybuilding. One path is drug tested federations like the OCB, WNBF, INBA/PNBA, Musclemania, Fitness Universe, USBF, and so on. And the other path is the non drug tested federations like the NPC/IFBB and the WBFF.  Some people are surprised to hear that WBFF is not drug tested. It is in fact not. By the way just because you compete in a drug tested federation doesn't mean everyone is honest. There have been many people caught using banned substances in drug tested federations. The INBA/PNBA even has a “wall of shame” where they will put your picture on their website to make sure everyone knows you are banned from their federation for lying about drug use. And just because you compete in non drug tested federations doesn't mean you are on drugs. I've competed and won shows in the NPC and competed on the WBFF pro World stage too.  I am 100% natural. You can absolutely compete in these federations if you are drug free.  I think the biggest issue today with people coming into the sport is that these non drug tested federations have a different interpretation of acceptable amount of muscle.  So it's not that you can't compete there, it's a question on whether you will be COMPETITIVE when you compete there.  This is one reason people switch between federations.  If you look at the amount of muscle on the figure, women's physique, classic, wellness, and open bodybuilding competitors in the IFBB, which is where you compete when you get your pro card in the NPC, and compare it to the amount of muscle in a federation like the OCB for example, you will see there is a dramatic difference in overall size and hardness of the muscles.  I think it's safe to say that if you are a pro in any of these divisions in the IFBB you are on a completely different path than the OCB.  In my opinion, you cannot build the amount of size these people carry without drugs.  Unless you are that 1% of the population like 5x Figure Olympian champion Cydney Dillon who claims to be a natural athlete. Which leads me to the bikini and men's physique categories. These categories were introduced to bodybuilding as more entry level divisions for those who are new to the sport and don't have the years of training and muscle building behind them to be competitive in the other categories. Originally the descriptions of these categories even said “beach body.”  Adding these categories was the boost bodybuilding promoters needed because it dramatically increased the amount of people capable of competing in shows. Which increased registrants and audience attendance. This goes for all bodybuilding federations. The beauty of these divisions has made it possible for people from all walks of life, all ages, to have an incredible physical transformation and compete in a show as a way to showcase it.  In fact, the largest growing age group reaching out to me for posing assistance are men and women over 50. It's a beautiful thing to hear their stories and how many of them always wanted to compete but things never aligned in life to do so until now. So where do they go?  Where do they compete?  NPC non drug tested? Drug tested?  A lot of them compete in BOTH.  Because from a physique and acceptable level of muscle standpoint, as an amateur, and let me be clear that this is an an amateur, there are much more people capable of being competitive in either drug tested or not drug tested federations on the local and national level. Once you get to the pro level with the non drug tested federations, it's a different conversation because the level of muscle and leanness is on another level. But locally as an amateur, you can absolutely do well in either federation if you are a bikini or men's physique competitor. Many new to competing look to see what shows are offered in their local area.  With NPC being a very large federation they have thousands of shows around the country. Not every drug tested federation has competitions in every state like the NPC does. In fact many drug tested federations have a presence in a specific region of the country. So if you are in a state that doesn't have shows offered, especially if you are new, you are not likely to want to pay for airfare, car rental, and additional hotel time just because you want to do your first show. So most people compete locally at first.    Which brings me to the rules on switching federations.  Many new people to bodybuilding compete and win their pro status very quickly in the non drug tested federations but for various reasons want to compete with other organizations besides the one they are a pro in.  These reasons range from: wanting more stage time, not feeling like they are ready to compete with the pros yet, and many competitors who get a master's pro card (which is a pro card for those in a category over a certain age), are disappointed to see the number of shows offered to master's only pro competitors is very limited, and they want to compete more. Can you do this? Overall as an amateur you can do whatever you want. And I encourage you to get on stage more than once for more experience.  Plus you worked really hard to get on stage for your show, why would't you want to do more than one after all that work?  The day goes by so fast. However, once you get a pro card, the rules as a professional in each organization are different. And you have to read the fine print.  Or feel free reach out and ask me or ask in our podcast insiders group. In general, if you get a pro card in the NPC and become an IFBB pro, you are discouraged from competing elsewhere.  You sign contracts when competing too.  IFBB is very restrictive.  In fact, I have judged for 4 federations in the bodybuilding industry. A couple years ago I reached out to the NPC district chairman in my region and offered to judge the local NPC shows in my area. I was asked to provide a resume so I did. I described my experience as both a head judge and a panel judge for multiple organizations, a champion competitor in the NPC, my decades of experience, and so on. The response I received was black or white. I was told that if I wanted to judge for the NPC then I can no longer judge for any other federation.  This was just judging you guys. You don't make a living judging. In fact you get paid pretty much just gas money when you judge a show.  You are a judge because you love the sport and want to give back to it. Which was my intent. Needless to say, I decided not to judge for the NPC and to instead give back to NPC competitors by continuing to help with their posing and choreography with the business that I own and operate full time and make my living with.  I am proud of being versatile in the bodybuilding industry and love that in the past year alone I judged the Fitness America and Musclemania weekend in Hollywood last November, head judged for the WNBF pro am show in NY, and judged multiple pro am shows for the OCB too.  Not one of these three federations ever asked me to not judge anywhere else. In fact, I have the honor of doing the official OCB virtual posing clinics every month. Marjorie and Sully both thank me for doing them and tell me how much they appreciate what I am doing for their athletes. They tell me they appreciate me. They feel that what I do is a service to their athletes.  And they know I teach and judge for other federations.  In addition, I'm about to launch official virtual posing clinics for the Fitness Universe and Musclemania organization too, beginning October 1st. Fitness Universe is nothing like the OCB organization.  Competing in OCB and Fitness Universe is nothing like the other. They are completely different so they aren't competitors if you ask me.  Regardless, each owner knows I teach across all federations for my full time job and they both believe that what I provide their athletes is a great service to them. I do also have NPC virtual posing clinics going on monthly right now, but they are not official, and, as you probably guessed, this is because I teach for other organizations. They provide the athletes in the NPC the exact same in value and education custom to the federation. In fact, one of my previous NPC clinic attendees said she learned more in 15 minutes at my virtual posing clinic than she did at an in person event run by the organization.  So if you are thinking of competing in any of these organizations I highly recommend you start with one of my virtual posing clinics. I have them all listed on my website learntopose.com if you scroll down to the services section. So again, what you can and cannot do once you are a pro or working professionally within an organization depends on the organization. Many competitors fear they will lose their pro card if they compete elsewhere.  If you are an IFBB pro, you will be discouraged from competing elsewhere.  As an amateur, no one is going to prevent you from competing at a NPC show if you ran across the street and did an OCB show.  Again, it depends on amateur versus pro status. Now let's talk pro status in the natural federations. The OCB had a rule that if you were an OCB pro and you competed in a non drug tested federation you would no longer be eligible to compete as an OCB pro. A large number of athletes reached out the OCB and voiced their concerns that they wanted to compete locally so they didn't need to fly to compete and there were NPC shows in their area. Last year the OCB heard the athletes and removed their rule. So going forward as an OCB pro athlete you can compete where you want and not risk losing your pro status. A large number of other drug tested federations have actually signed a pact amongst each other that allows you to compete as a pro in their federation no matter where you received your pro status. A pro is a pro to them.  So you are not discouraged at all to compete in other federations.  They don't care. Other federations will discourage you from competing elsewhere but don't make a big stink out of it and disallow you from coming back. They prefer that you not win a show and take money and to leave, but that's not a requirement. The three main pro federations that draw a line in the sand once you become a pro are the IFBB, WBFF, and Muclemania/Fitness Universe.   You do risk your pro status when you leave and compete elsewhere. You will have to re-qualify for it.  But again this is the pro level where you are now competing on stages and, with the exception of Fitness Universe and Musclemania, you are earning money within that organization.  Once you start earning money things change.  Up until that point as an amateur you can pretty much do whatever you want. Some coaches will say you can't cross over but that's really just their opinion and people being drama. Alright guys I hope you found this episode helpful. Let me know by commenting, liking, and subscribing to the podcast! Head on over to the everything else in bodybuilding podcast insiders group on Facebook and join the conversation too. And if you are getting ready for a show and want to learn how to pose and be competitive on stage in your category, I have official virtual posing clinics for the OCB every month, next one October 7th. and, beginning September 30th, I'm starting back up my NPC virtual posing clinics too, and finally one more big announcement, on October 1st I will be hosting my first official Fitness Universe virtual posing clinic. Fitness Universe is great for those interested in trying a federation with production like a tv show and divisions that include male and female model.  A list of all clinics can be found on my website learntopose.com in the services section. Alright I'll be back later this week with my husband for our weekly discussion. See you later!

How can we utilize this or what advice, suggestions, or methods can you give us that will actually attract new patients through our Google Xana: Ads efforts? Oh, there's so much good information in that question you just asked. That's loaded. so there's a lot of things that make Google Ads successful.And let me hit on just like a couple of really important tips. One of the first ones is, be very wary about using Google's own artificial intelligence that they're trying to make it look really easy so anybody can do their own Google Ads. Because if you are using Google's own artificial intelligence platform, you are potentially wasting a lot of money on clicks that are not valuable for you.and, you don't have as much control over reaching the proper target audience. And besides that, Google's gonna actually, you're gonna spend a lot more of your money and get a lot less for it. So, when we do Google Ads for people, there's a couple of things that we do to make sure that they are hitting that success versus what they've been trying to do on their own.One is, and this seems so obvious, you gotta make sure that you are setting your times for your ads. Only when your business is open. Some people just run those ads 24 7. But let's think about the patient experience. When patients call, we know that they want to get in immediately, they've got about 3 days to get scheduled.they do not want to get into a practice that scheduling, They to be able to get in pretty quickly. So they want to be able to. Get in, they want to be able to get a hold of you because you're an errand they're checking off their list. So if you're running, you're at it nine o'clock at night and there's nobody there answering the phone, it's a complete waste of your time and of their time.one way to overcome that is to use online scheduling. Which I think is critical for absolutely any Google Ads campaign because you want to capture people while they are in the moment and they are ready to make their decision. So ideally using online scheduling, but at the very least, people sometimes have questions, so make sure those ads are only running when you're open.As a matter of fact, I usually stop them about an hour before the practice hours are over. Because we don't always make our phone call immediately when we're doing our research. It might take us a little time and we want to make sure that that phone call actually becomes an appointment.another thing that I think is important to think about is the topic that you are using in your Google ads. So there's a lot of things that you can advertise for. You can advertise for just general dentistry patients, emergency patients, peds patients. Those three are great. Those are the winners almost every time.But a lot of doctors want to use Google ads to go after things like dental implants, all on for cosmetic dentistry, sleep apnea, TMD treatment. And here's what we've learned. The click through rates. Those higher level campaigns can be insane. Our click through rates are usually honest to be 27 to 35 percent on those campaigns.So literally like 35 percent of the people that see your ad when we're running it, we'll click on it. Go to a landing page. The difference is these types of leads are doing a lot of research. They're what I would call their higher up in the funnel. So they're exploring all of their options. And these are not the leads that are going to just click to schedule an appointment or just call you and immediately make your appointment.There's a lot of contact follow up contact that they need. So, you know, When they call you or if even if they submit a form, for example, it often takes 7 to 9 additional touches before they are ready to commit to an appointment. So if you're just sitting there and waiting for them to like, make that decision on the spot, you're going to end up really frustrated because you'll get a lot of clicks and a lot of people who seem to be interested.But a lot of them won't convert into appointments. So you got to be ready with an outbound, text messaging campaign, outbound phone calls, outbound emails to keep in contact with that lead until they are ready to schedule with you. another thing to think about, and this one's so frustrating for people in the beginning.Have you ever heard of the term fat finger? Where they Michael: accidentally click it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Me all the time, yeah. Xana: Yeah, so we're all on our cell phones, and you type in, Dentist in Lewisburg, I'll give you from my community. And there's a couple of listings that come up, so you can have a combination of like, somebody just accidentally clicks on the wrong listing with their fat finger on a small cell phone, and then it's a wrong number phone call.And the teams kind of can say, oh, I'm getting a lot of wrong number phone calls. Well, there's still people who are looking for a dentist. So it's still an opportunity to convert them into an appointment. but 1 way to help overcome that is to actually. Upload a list of all the competitors in your area.As negative keywords before you launch your campaign. And here's why. So if I typed in Dennis and Lewisburg, the area that I'm in Google is gonna be doing, we've got exact match and then kind of some broad match keywords in there. So it would bring up anybody for an ad that had the words dentist and Lewisburg in it.If I'm a dental practice named Lewisburg Dentistry. The odds are very, very good that my Google ad is going to appear at the top and people are going to think that's what they're clicking on. and it's basically just going to be a waste of their money. So we want to eliminate as many fat finger phone calls as possible.So uploading that list of competition helps maximize your budget right out of the gate. you had mentioned before we started talking about budget, like what's the right budget for people to put for this? The budget is, I generally say it's a minimum of 1, to be able to do it properly. And if your 1, 000 only gets you one mile or 1, 000 gets you 10 miles, depending on the area that you're living in, real key is about your impression share.So do you know what impression share is? No. Okay, so anytime somebody would be searching Dennis in it's the percentage of time that your Google ad is going to show up in their search results based on, how many dollars you have available. So if your budget is, say, 500 a month and you're averaging 15 a click. You might miss out on an awful lot of traffic simply because your budget has already been spent for the day. And you might have a very small impression share. So there might be 100 searches for it in a day, but you might only be getting 5 percent impression share because the cost per click is so high or your market area is so wide.It's a lot better. Instead of necessarily just going with budget, it's more about setting up the parameters of the campaign to make sure that you are maximizing your impression share. You want to be able to make sure that your Google ad is showing up a minimum of 80%, 90 percent of the time when somebody is doing a search.Otherwise, they're clicking on your competitor's ads. Michael: Okay. Okay. Interesting. So more budget better, but if we don't have the more budget, what do we do? We just hone in or what are you thinking? Xana: so yes, you can, limit the hours when your campaign is running. For example, uh, I've seen practices where we'll only run it, say Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.And we'll front load that at the beginning of the week because we know those people want to get in quickly. So we want to make sure that we're not running an ad on a Friday where they're not going to be able to get in until Tuesday or Wednesday of the next week. so you can kind of compress your budget that way.You can limit the size of the market area that you're in instead of that 10 mile radius. You can say, I'm, I'm just going to make sure I'm capturing everybody in a 1 mile radius, or I'm going to pick a. Particular zip code that's important to me. Maybe everybody in your immediate area knows you. So we want to go outside of that area and just target a certain zip code.so there's a couple of different things that you can do to really maximize that budget. The thing that I always keep in mind with budget and I tell everybody this right out of the gate is that. It's always going to go up. This is a bidding situation, teasingly say Google clearly does not have enough money.this trillion dollar organization. so they're going to make it harder and harder for your ads to appear until you spend more money per time that somebody clicks on your ad, which means. That you will not get as many clicks for the same amount of money over time. So what might start out as a thousand dollar budget might have to be 1, 500 the next year or 2, 000 the year after that.It's not growing quite that quickly, but just know that sometimes you're, you're going to probably have to end up spending more money to get the same amount of traffic over time, just because those ad costs are going to go up. There's kind of a trend lately. Have people been talking to you about these sponsored listings up at the top?Michael: Yeah, yeah, it's a is there a green check mark I want to say or something like Xana: that or yes So these listings the thing that's really different about these listings before Anybody could buy a google ad and set up a campaign. I I mean I could be the guy down the street I could be somebody in china. It doesn't matter anyone could set up a campaign These sponsored listings google is making you go through this deep verification process.You have to give them Uh, not just prove that you're in your physical location, they need to see your actual credentials, like they need to get your, forget exactly what it is, if they need your diploma or your license number or something, but they need actual proof that you are a licensed practitioner and they're not doing it in every market, the area that we're in is rural enough, they aren't doing those sponsored listings yet, they're still just kind of testing it in some of the more major markets.But the thing with these sponsored listings that's really kind of interesting is Instead of saying, I have, you know, a budget of 1, 000 and I'm trying to get as many clicks as I can at an average cost of 5 a click, you're paying for performance, so they're charging you per phone call.It is their call tracking line that is used. And so when someone clicks on that ad and calls, it's running roughly around 100 per phone call. For an appointment, which cost per lead, that's actually not terrible, but you got to have a team who's ready to take the phone calls and are able to convert those leads into good appointments.So, I still kind of see those in like the, testing phase where people are figuring out if they're worth it or not are the. The searcher is actually going to respond to those or not. in my humble opinion, my favorite one, mean, obviously we all love Google Ads and just in general, but I love the ones that are in the Google Maps listings.That you can do a sponsored listing right in all of the Google Maps so that your name appears at the top. If you are in a market that's so competitive, you can't get into, one, two or three position in your market area, just buy your way into that list. Michael: Okay. Interesting. Real quick. If you could kind of guide us throughout the part where you were discussing the topic on Google ads, how to keep in contact with the outbound, this. So they click, they don't sign up. You said it takes several touch points. How can we build something there? Xana: So, uh, great question. It's actually something we're working on is, is trying to close that loop for the doctors. but the idea is when somebody calls they have questions, they're not ready to make a decision yet.So the team first off needs to be ready with a list of very common objections that the caller is going to have about that particular product. So let's say it's cosmetic dentistry. People are going to ask, what does it cost? Is it covered by insurance? How long does it take? Is this painful? can you fix this particular problem?What do you charge per tooth? They have all these questions. First step is for the team to have all of those objections written down and your answers for them figured out. It just makes for a better experience. People are not going to make their decision in the moment. You'll get a couple. That you might be able to bring in for a consult, but most of them are like, okay, let me think about it.That's where it's important to get a follow up phone number, a follow up email and then set a regular outbound set of touch points. So, over the next couple of days, email, phone call, text message, and kind of repeating that process until you get that person to make a commitment because they're doing a lot of homework.they're, um, talking to a lot of different options to see who's going to be the best one for them. And honestly, the person who makes the sale is usually the person who's just more active and showing more interest in that prospective patient. Mm. Michael: Gotcha. So, stay active. Basically, Xana: right. You got to stay really active.You can't just take that one phone call and let it die with, leave it up to the patient. If they're going to call me back, the team has to be the outbound salesperson who is actually calling and following up with that patient to see if they can move them forward. honestly, it takes some, some good sales training for teams who know how to do that.So I see this a little more successfully in some DSO practices, where they're, they're able to invest in like a call center and people who do some of that outbound follow up. Do you have any practices you've seen that are really successful with that outbound follow up? A couple, Michael: it's more front office skills training that I've seen where that works.You know what I mean? Where they have like the. Confidence to know what to say and do when they follow up and they send a text or they have a software that does all that, right, that sends a text and things like that. Um, but I can see how the bar drops a ton right there, you know what I mean? And then they go and say, well these ads aren't working, who's clicking them, you know, kind of thing.And it just falls apart. So I can definitely see that in that scenario. Xana: In my opinion, one thing that I found to be a little more successful if you don't have a team in place who either has like the time or the experience to do all that outbound follow up. I'm a big believer in bring these patients in under a general dentistry campaign.People who are just looking for I need a new dentist, they're going to come in, they're going to go through their hygiene experience, they're gonna have a comprehensive exam with you that is better than anyone they've ever had in their entire lives. And They build a relationship with you, and you can start asking them questions about, so what do you think about the appearance of your teeth?Is there anything that you're unhappy with that you've ever wished you could fix? Would you like to know what your options are? you've already got their attention because they're in the office. I find it is much easier to move those types of patients forward to things like implants and all on four and cosmetics and sleep apnea.Once they know who you are as a doctor, And why you're qualified and they like you as a person and they like your office. So, I find it is a far better spend of your money to actually go for the general to kind of get those big procedures in a roundabout way. Michael: Gotcha. Awesome, Zonya. I appreciate your time and if anyone has any further questions, you can definitely find her on the Dental Marketer Society Facebook group or where can they reach out to you directly?Xana: I'd say best way is go to our website, golden proportions. com. There's a chat button in the lower, right? There's usually somebody on there monitoring at all times. I tend to take the after hours ones and happy to have a conversation, answer any questions that your listeners might have about ads.Michael: Awesome. Thank you so much, Zonya, for being with me on this Monday morning marketing episode. My Xana: pleasure. Thanks, Michael.

We are LOVING the excitement about the Pre-Engaged Workbook, which will be released soon.   (It is supposed to go live today, but isn't available yet... there is a hold-up in the review process. We will let you know once it goes live!)   ---   What I think happens a lot in marriages is a dynamic of competition.    They both want to impress their spouse, and both of them are clawing on top of each other trying to get the other one to notice them and admire them.    They're trying to get their spouse to see that they're doing a good job.   At the very same moment, the other spouse is trying to get them to see that they're doing a good job and trying to impress them.   So each is trying to get their security and their approval and their sense of doing a good job from their spouse. And so this competition takes hold.    Instead of enjoying each other and the gift that they are---in the strengths and the differences---they are competing and they can't see past their own hurt and lack of encouragement from their spouse.    So, what I highly recommend is that you consider if this dynamic is happening in your home.   Are you trying to get compliments and admiration and encouragement from your spouse but getting hurt over and over and over again?   My recommendation is that you listen to this episode to understand how to actually receive the affirmation, the approval, and the encouragement you crave.    The good news is you could actually have both security and affirmation… and change the dynamic from competition to love and generous compliments.   You'll find out how if you listen to today's episode.     Blessings, Belah   PS - Help could be a click away…you're invited to schedule a free Clarity Call at delightyourmarriage.com/cc to see if you're a good fit for our programs. What do graduates say about the results of the program?   “Before I took the program, I thought my wife and I were getting on ok, but as it turned out this was far from the case. It soon became clear that my wife had been feeling very lonely and isolated for years, and this had been showing in her behaviour, which though pleasant, was somewhat aloof and detached emotionally.”   “Things moved exponentially, very quickly, though not without struggle and some reverses.. She did not recognise this “new husband” as she put it! …Completely unintentionally I had made my wife feel ignored, not attended to, and taken for granted… Communication was generally businesslike rather than affectionate. …As the program has gone on, huge strides have been made in our marriage. We now spend quality time together most meal times, we've started going out on dates again, we are much more playful than before and we enjoy being with each other. Most importantly, my wife has relaxed, she's begun to trust me, and her true bubbly self is coming out into the open. And it's a delight to see. It almost feels like it used to when we were first dating. Sex has even taken on a completely new appearance.”

In today's episode Coach Janae and I  wanted to dive into a topic that's absolutely crucial for all you amazing women over 40 on your fitness journey: periodization.  Now, you might be wondering, "What's periodization, and why do I need it?"  Well, let me break it down for you! Periodization is like the secret sauce that takes your fitness game to a whole new level, especially as we embrace the fabulous 40s and beyond.  It's all about strategically planning your workouts in different phases to keep your body guessing and progressing. For women over 40, this approach is gold because it helps you build strength, muscle tone, and endurance while reducing the risk of injury. You get the best of both worlds: challenging your body and giving it the recovery it deserves. Plus, it keeps the fitness journey exciting and sustainable. So, if you're aiming for a strong, toned body that defies age, embrace periodization and hire me! Your future self will thank you for the gains, the confidence, and the incredible journey ahead. Keep rocking it, and remember, age is just a number when you've got the right fitness plan!

Work On Your Game: Discipline, Confidence & Mental Toughness For Sports, Business & Life | Mental Health & Mindset

Today's masterclass, we're talking about "Stop Competing and Start Dominating."  I will emphasize that setting your own standards is the path to true success. We look at successful examples like McDonald's, Michael Phelps, Apple, and Amazon, who thrive by focusing on their standards, not competing with others. I'll share how you can adopt this mindset, making yourself your strongest competitor, and constantly pushing your limits. Much like Tony Robbins in personal development, setting your own standards leads to domination, not just competition.  Success is intentional and based on unwavering standards. So, if you want to elevate your game, it's time to stop competing and start dominating your own space. Show notes: [08:01]#1 The best in every category is not really in competition with anyone else. [15:36]#2 How do you actually make this happen? [22:04]#3 The reason why Michael Jordan and other entities are so great is because of standards.  [35:25]Recap Episodes Mentioned: 1217:  My Virtual Mentors, Vol 5: Michael Jordan Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University (Coaching & Courses): http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Work On Your Game LIVE: http://WorkOnYourGame.LIVE  FREE Training - 6 Figure Earners Who Want To Reach 7 Figures: http://www.WorkOnYourGame.net  Facebook Business Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/6figuresandgrowing/  Get Dre's Emails:  Http://WorkOnMyGame.com  Free Audiobooks:  The Third Day: http://www.ThirdDayBook.com/audible The Mirror Of Motivation: http://www.MirrorOfMotivation.com/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!

I'm a proud Canadian with a passion for travel and experiencing life to the fullest.   Over the past 15 years, I've built 2 multiple 7-figure health businesses that have helped more than 500,000 men and women reach their goals.   Even though I've become one of the most sought-after business strategists and success mentors for health professionals looking to grow their practice, things certainly weren't always this way.   I got into health after losing all of my hair to an autoimmune condition at just 17 years old. Wanting to heal myself, I sought every practitioner I could find. I was amazed by their knowledge they possessed and the transformation they helped me and thousands of others create.   Yet, I found it odd that many of them were “cast aside” by the allopathic medical community. A seed was planted inside of me that somehow I would help these practitioners shine their light but I would have to wait 15 years before that happened.   First, I had to walk my own journey. So I pursued advanced studies (and got my degree) in Kinesiology and eventually Holistic Nutrition.   After a brief 3-year hiatus to play professional soccer in Europe, I returned home to Toronto where I started working with clients to help them with their health.   Like so many others in our space, I was overworked and underpaid. I worked 12–14 hour days, seeing one client/patient after another and I struggled to make ends meet.   I was trading time for money and had essentially built myself a job, not a real business. I knew that wasn't the life I wanted to continue living.   So, in 2006, I started coaching clients online and eventually (after many years of struggle) built a very large and successful coaching business doing so.   After a brief 3-year hiatus to play professional soccer in Europe, I returned home to Toronto where I started working with clients to help them with their health.   Like so many others in our space, I was overworked and underpaid.

EP 8:1 From Doubt to Automotive Dominance: The Road Map To Beginning Your Journey In Car Sales

Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast

Kicking off Season 8 of the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast, we are joined by Host Sean V. Bradley, and special guests Malik Bronner and Kelby Peace-Bullock, who takes us through his journey of entering the automotive industry and how he conquered his initial fears and doubts. Sean V. Bradley highlights the pivotal role that mindset plays in one's success. He explains how shifting your perspective on commission-based pay and competition will allow you to not just survive but thrive in the industry. One of the core lessons Kelby shares is the importance of product knowledge, understanding the competition, and building trust with customers. He attributes much of his success to the invaluable training and guidance he received from his brother, Malik Bonner, as well as the unwavering support of the Preston Automotive Group.   Key Takeaways: Overcoming fear and skepticism is crucial to finding success in the automotive industry. Commission-based pay can be a powerful motivator and provide unlimited earning potential. Competing against oneself and constantly striving for improvement is more effective than comparing oneself to others. Mastering product knowledge, understanding the competition, and building trust with customers are essential for success. Developing a personal referral business and becoming an influencer in the local community can lead to long-term success.   About Kelby Peace-Bullock Kelby Peace-Bullock is a newcomer to the automotive industry, having previously worked in customer service roles. He was initially skeptical about working on commission and the competitiveness of the industry, but after joining the automotive industry, he quickly realized the potential for financial success and the importance of building relationships with customers.  His story serves as a source of inspiration for those considering a similar leap into the automotive realm, showcasing the rewarding possibilities that await those willing to embrace change and growth.    About Malik Bronner Starting at Dealer Synergy over three years ago as a call analyst, Malik “Yung Jedi” Bronner has worked his way up the ranks to the position of Performance Coach at Dealer Synergy and a Tier 1 National Trainer. Not only is he one of the top performance coaches and phone process trainers on the Dealer Synergy team, but he also hosts “The Yung Jedi Counsel,” a weekly free training session for the automotive community.      The Journey to Success in the Automotive Industry Introduction In the latest episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Kelby Peace Bullock takes center stage to share his remarkable journey into the automotive industry. A relative newcomer to the world of car sales, Kelby has swiftly risen through the ranks, proving that with the right mindset and determination, anyone can thrive in this competitive field. In this episode, Kelby provides invaluable insights into his transformation, emphasizing the importance of mindset, commission-based pay, self-improvement, product knowledge, and building trust with customers. A Newcomer's Journey Kelby Peace Bullock's entry into the automotive industry was marked by skepticism. Having previously worked in customer service roles, he was apprehensive about transitioning into a commission-based profession known for its cutthroat competition. However, Kelby's story is a testament to the power of embracing change and overcoming fears. He quickly discovered that the automotive industry offered not only the potential for financial success but also the chance to build lasting relationships with customers. The Power of Mindset One of the key takeaways from Kelby's journey is the transformative power of mindset. As Sean V. Bradley wisely puts it in the podcast, "Your mind is such a powerful thing. If you look at this like, 'I'm not guaranteed an opportunity,' that's your reality." Kelby's shift in perspective allowed him to see the immense opportunities and potential rewards in the automotive industry. Commission-Based Pay: A Motivator Kelby also discusses the motivational force of commission-based pay. In the world of car sales, your earnings are directly proportional to your effort and sales performance. Sean V. Bradley aptly highlights this, saying, "You might be broke one week, but the following week, you're having lobster and filet mignon." For Kelby, this incentive structure has been a driving force behind his success. Competing Against Yourself Instead of constantly comparing himself to others, Kelby focuses on competing against himself. This self-improvement mindset, advocated by Malik Bonner, his brother, has enabled Kelby to set personal goals and constantly strive for improvement. This internal competition has propelled him to greater heights in the industry. The Essentials for Success Kelby's journey underscores several essential elements for success in the automotive industry: Product Knowledge: Kelby stresses the importance of being a master of product knowledge, akin to being "like Google." This expertise not only builds customer trust but also allows salespeople to provide informed recommendations and solutions. Understanding the Competition: To stand out in a competitive market, understanding your competition is vital. Knowledge about rival brands and their strengths and weaknesses can help salespeople make compelling arguments for their own products. Building Trust with Customers: Building trust is the foundation of long-term success. Customers who trust their salesperson are more likely to return for future purchases and refer friends and family. Support and Guidance Kelby credits much of his success to the support and training he received from his brother, Malik Bonner, and the backing of the Preston Automotive Group. This support network has been instrumental in his journey. Becoming an Influencer In closing, Kelby encourages aspiring car salespeople to develop a personal referral business and become influencers in their local community. By establishing themselves as trusted experts and thought leaders, they can secure long-term success in the industry. Kelby Peace Bullock's journey is an inspirational tale of transformation, proving that with the right mindset and determination, anyone can excel in the competitive world of car sales.

Prior to Careem, Mudassir co-founded “DeviceAnywhere”, a company that was acquired by “Keynote” in 2008 before joining the management consulting firm “McKinsey & Company” in Dubai. In Today's Episode with Mudassir Sheikha We Discuss: 1. From McKinsey to $3.1BN Exit to Uber: What was the founding a-ha moment for Mudassir with Careem? What does Mudassir know now that he wishes he had known at the beginning? What does Mudassir believe he is running away from? 2. Finding Product-Market Fit: What is the single biggest mistake founders make when trying to find product-market fit? Does Mudassir believe you have to do things that do not scale, to scale? What did Careem do? What are some of Mudassir's biggest pieces of advice to founders on finding a core target audience and doing customer discovery the right way? 3. Competing with Giants: How To Win When You Cannot Outspend: How did Careem beat Uber when they had 1/100th of their budget? What advice does Mudassir have for founders who have competition that is much better funded? What is the story of spending the night in bunk beds and barely sleeping before raising $300M the next day? How did that happen? 4. The Acquisition: How it Went Down: How did Mudassir and Dara @ Uber first come to meet? How did Dara's approach contrast with the prior approach of Travis Kalanick? Why did Mudassir decide to sell and join Uber? What were the main reasons or arguments against the acquisition? 5. Talk to me About: Careem's Pakistan MD having to flee Pakistan for his safety post a marketing campaign? Elon Musk likes one of Careem's promotional videos and why? An investor who wired $1M with absolutely no paperwork? The catch up meeting that turned into a $3BN offer?

We have entered a fourth stage of innovation— the era of Big Bang Disruption. The new disrupters attack existing markets not just from the top, bottom, and sides but from all three at once. By tying their products to the exponential growth and falling costs of new technologies, their offerings can be simultaneously better, cheaper, and more customized. Not just for one group of users, but for all (or nearly all) customers. This isn't disruptive innovation. It's devastating innovation.   00:00:00.000 The Evolution of Innovation: Addressing Disruption 00:02:36.657 Three Styles of Innovation: Traditional, Cost, and Blue Ocean 00:06:23.894 Simplifying Business Strategies: Differentiation, Cost, and Customer Focus 00:07:20.966 The Challenge of Competing with Better Products 00:17:12.447 Leveraging cameras for innovative bottle tracking technology 00:19:56.153 The cost advantage of digital products and services 00:23:54.145 The phenomenon of better and cheaper innovation in various industries 00:26:44.172 The Impact of Information Spread and Market Realities 00:34:52.300 The Importance of Meeting Customer Breakthrough Points 00:36:20.074 Introduction to the concept of disciplined innovation 00:38:56.498 The power of recombining components in innovation 00:39:26.799 The Rise of Drones: A Phenomenon Explained 00:42:13.962 Rapid Fire Experiments and the Democratization of Customer Insight 00:47:26.683 Information and Access: The Challenges of Finding Information 00:49:04.340 The Power of Low Cost Components 00:49:31.700 Putting Screens on Refrigerators - Why Not? 00:52:04.248 Exponential Technologies Drive Down the Cost of R&D 00:54:40.337 The Challenge of Finding the Threshold for Product Success 00:57:51.377 Broadening Horizons and Taking Time to Think for Workplace Change
