Imagine deciding to backpack through Europe. You're inspired, excited, you've got your gear packed and your passport ready. But here's the catch - you didn't plan the route. You've got no map, no guidebook, no clue which cities you'll visit or how you'll get there. You're just hoping for the best (which might be fun, but also can be a disaster if you have only a short time there). That's what running your content without connection looks like. Without connecting to your vision, audience, goals and the platform (channels) to use.Let's talk about it and get your started on this epic trip! If you LOVED this episode, make sure you share this on your Instagram stories and tag us @contentqueenmariah.LEARN THE DETAILS OF A CONTENT STRATEGY WITH MY FREE AUDIO GUIDEKEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS

Part 1 Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers Summary"Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers is a self-help book that explores the concept of dealing with fear and building confidence to take action in various aspects of life. Here are the key points and themes presented in the book:Understanding Fear: Jeffers describes fear as a natural and universal emotion that everyone experiences. She emphasizes that feeling fear is not the problem; rather, it is how we respond to that fear that matters. Fear and Self-Doubt: The author links fear to self-doubt, explaining that many fears stem from a lack of confidence in our abilities. This fear can paralyze us and prevent us from pursuing opportunities.The Importance of Acknowledging Fear: Jeffers encourages readers to acknowledge their fears instead of ignoring them. By facing fear head-on, individuals can begin to understand it and lessen its hold over their lives.Taking Action: The central tenet of the book is to take action despite the fear. Jeffers argues that the best way to overcome fear is to participate in activities that challenge it, thus gaining confidence and experience.Decision-Making: One of the strategies presented is to develop a more positive decision-making approach. Jeffers suggests using affirmations and positive self-talk to shift our mindset about fear and decision-making.Accepting Uncertainty: The book discusses the inevitability of uncertainty in life. Jeffers teaches that it's important to embrace the unknown rather than shying away from it, as uncertainty often leads to new opportunities for growth.Empowerment Through Responsibility: Jeffers emphasizes personal responsibility in overcoming fear. She believes that taking ownership of our choices empowers us to change our lives.Building a Fear-Defeating Toolbox: Throughout the book, Jeffers provides practical exercises and tools to help manage and overcome fear, such as visualization, journaling, and seeking support from others.Reframing Fear: Instead of viewing fear as a hindrance, Jeffers suggests reframing it as a signal for personal growth. Where there is fear, there is often an opportunity for advancement and self-improvement.Overall, "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" serves as a motivational guide for those looking to confront their fears and live a more fulfilled life. Jeffers' insights encourage readers to accept their fears, confront them, and take the necessary steps to pursue their goals.Part 2 Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway AuthorSusan Jeffers was an American author, motivational speaker, and psychologist, best known for her self-help book "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway," which was first published in 1987.

Giant Ventures is a multi stage venture fund, founded by Cameron McLain and Tommy Stadlen. We recorded these first episodes at our live Giant Ideas summit, held at London's Tate Modern. The Giant Ideas summit brings together 200 founders, CEOs, heads of state and other leaders to explore how we can harness cutting edge technology as a force for good. Today we bring you an interview with John Browne. Lord Browne is the former CEO of BP and now one of the world's most prominent climate tech investors. He has served on the boards of Goldman Sachs, Intel, DaimlerChrysler, and SmithKline Beecham.John joined BP out of university and rose up the ranks to become CEO between 1995 - 2007. He turned BP from a former national oil company into the world's third biggest corporation. He is widely regarded as one of the top CEOs ever to emerge from the UK. Two years into his tenure as BP CEO, John was accused of “leaving the church” by fellow Big Oil executives after a landmark speech at Stanford in 1997 in which he acknowledged that climate change was manmade and called for action.These words may be uncontroversial now, but in 1997 they were both brave and very important.Today John is the Founding Chairman of BeyondNetZero, a multibillion dollar climate fund launched with General Atlantic.John has been an influential advisory board member at Giant Ventures since we started the firm. He and I previously wrote a book together, Connect: How companies succeed by engaging radically with society.In this conversation with FT columnist and author Gillian Tett, John provides a state of the union on climate change, 25 years on from his historic Stanford speech. They cover everything from climate finance and carbon markets to the role of oil and gas companies in decarbonisation. The episode was recorded shortly before the UN COP climate talks - so you will hear John and Gillian debate the UAE's controversial role as COP host.Music credits: Bubble King written and produced by Cameron McLain and Stevan Cablayan aka Vector_XING.Building or investing in purpose driven companies?

Don't forget to follow this show and share it with your friends, and I'll see you next time on Andrew Petty is Dying!   Timestamped summary of this episode: 00:00:00 - Introduction Andrew Petty introduces the podcast episode and the concept of the Hero's Journey, a framework for a life of purpose and adventure.  00:01:24 - The Best is Yet to Come Andrew announces an upcoming event called "The Best is Yet to Come," where participants can gain a deep understanding of the Hero's Journey and find clarity about their own unique adventure. 00:02:38 - Vince's Story Andrew introduces Vince Coleman and discusses his transition from the culinary world to owning his own business. Vince shares the early hints that a new adventure was calling to him. 00:07:34 - Resistance to Change Vince talks about the resistance he faced when transitioning from the culinary industry to starting his own business. He shares the challenges of uncertainty and financial investment, as well as the fear of fully committing to the new adventure. 00:12:14 - Overcoming Uncertainty Vince discusses how he navigated the transition from working in the restaurant industry to fully committing to his leather business. He shares his decision to work part-time at a restaurant while growing his business and funding it from his savings account. 00:14:45 - Embracing Uncertainty and Transition Andrew and Vince discuss the importance of accepting uncertainty in life and embracing the call to adventure. The guest's wife and close friends played a significant role in supporting his transition from the culinary industry to the leather business. Financial considerations also played a major role in his decision to pursue his new career path. 00:17:21 - Making a Viable Business Vince shares how he realized the potential of his leather business when it started making more money than his previous job. This financial success gave him the confidence to fully commit to his new venture and focus on growing it into a sustainable career. 00:20:01 - Challenges and Growth Vince reflects on the challenges he faced during the early years of his leather business, including burnout and exhaustion. He eventually found a balance between aggressive growth and manageable workload, allowing him to prioritize his well-being and personal life. 00:22:58 - Balancing Success and Self-Management Vince discusses the importance of self-management and maintaining a balance between running the business and being consumed by its success. He highlights the ongoing process of reassessing priorities and finding the right work-life balance as the business continues to grow. 00:25:43 - Shaping Life with Intention Vince shares how his adventure into entrepreneurship has changed his outlook on life. He now has the freedom to shape his business and personal life in a way that allows him to pursue his passions and prioritize experiences like travel. 00:29:04 - The Value of Money and Experience Money adds comfort, but life is about experiences and relationships. Money can make things easier but also more challenging. Comfort can lead to complacency and loss of connection with our stories and sense of adventure. 00:30:22 - Embracing the Call to Adventure We are designed to experience life, explore, create, and have adventures. The hero's journey resonates within us because it reflects our true calling. We were made to be pioneers and not settle into comfort and complacency. 00:31:29 - The Impact of Accepting the Call to Adventure Accepting the call to adventure can lead to significant personal and professional changes. Vince's marriage, mindset, and contribution to the world have all been positively transformed because he chose to embrace the unknown. 00:33:35 - Alternative Reality and the Importance of Pursuing Dreams Imagining a life where Vince didn't accept the call to adventure feels depressing and unfulfilling. Pursuing dreams and passions, following desires, and living life with intent are crucial for personal fulfillment and growth. 00:39:12 - Vince's Journey as an Example Vince's entrepreneurial journey serves as a real-life example of the Hero's Journey. It highlights the importance of embracing uncertainty, overcoming challenges, and transforming oneself. Each person's Hero's Journey will look different, but the essence remains the same.   Let's Connect How did this episode help you? I'd love to know.

This Sunday was Vision Sunday, and we took the opportunity to dream about the next 10 years, and lay out our plans for the future of EC. Each year we break our vision as a church into 4 categories: Our World, Our Nation, Our City, and Our Church. In this message, Pastor Jonathan speaks out of Genesis 15:5 where God called Abraham out of his tent to look at the stars in the sky. Real vision isn't about happening now, its about what's happening next. In moments where we doubt God's promise to us, sometimes we need to step out of our tents (our narrow vision of our own expectations and ideas), and begin to see things from God's perspective and vision for the future. //CONNECT// How did this message impact you?

On this week's episode, I acknowledge all the responses I've been hearing from listeners who are connecting and reconnecting with their angels. With an increase in the employment of angels, I have a sense that the angels are rejoicing with jubilant dancing! I also share a story where the calming wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh showed up in an unexpected place, and his presence continues to reveal sweet synchronicities. His simple, yet profound teachings remind me to be still, breathe, and embrace the gift of being present. How many seemingly insignificant coincidences have you experienced this week?

In the Bible, we see the importance of friends for human flourishing, the selfless attitude our friendships should have, the importance of having close friends, and the importance of truth telling and reconciliation in our friendships.

The Bible shares how we can we be faithful friends and develop meaningful […] The post CONNECT – How to be a Faithful Friend appeared first on Cornerstone Community Church.

During the week I watched this video that describes the difference between the Ego self and True self, that I found really useful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfrkVMCif9M&ab_channel=JuliaKristinaCounselling Here's a summary: The Ego is like this shield that is trying to protect us from shame. It is There is nothing wrong with it, but acting from it is usually not what we want because it keeps us stuck and unsatisfied. It doesn't feel good. It has this inherent feeling of not-enoughness. It has this energy of trying to prove that we are smart enough, loveable enough, successful enough, kind enough or whatever it is that we don't feel enough of. The ego is hustling for our worthiness. So it tries to protect us, but in the process it also keeps us from our authenticity. Acting from our authentic self is much more satisfying. There is a natural flow when we are coming from inside ourselves, just being who we are. Here are four ways to recognise if you are functioning out of Ego - Prove - Are you trying to prove something? Are you trying to prove that you are enough of something? - Protect - Am I trying to protect my vulnerability? For example, not reaching for what you want in order to protect yourself from failure, or actually protecting yourself from the shame that comes from failure because of critical self-talk. - Perfect - What can I perfect? We tend to believe that we need to be perfect in order to be enough. So in trying to be perfect we are trying to protect ourself from the fact that we are inperfect human beings. - Please - Who can I please? This is a way of trying to control other peoples thoughts and opinions about us. You know the difference between axiously people pleasing vs calmly and authentically giving. Four ways to know if you are functioning out of your Authentic / True self - Create - What can I create? What can I do that is interesting, intriguing and meaningful. How can I use my talents? - Contribute - What can I contribute? How can I make this world a better place? We're not tring to prove something from this place. We are doing it because it feels good to contribute though being who we are. - Connect - How can I connect? How can I show up in my authenticity and communicate cleanly without any hidden agendas. - Cultivate - What can I cultivate? What can I build and grow?

Why do we fight? Disagreements and frustrations are part of life. There is no way everyone will always agree. But that doesn't mean you are not loved. You get to pick your friends, but not your family. And if your family is like mine, there are many times we disagree. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT When you think about fighting, most people jump to the conclusion of loud, obnoxious yelling and anger being expressed. But fighting is much more than that. We are wired to defend our position and our safety. And as parents, you better believe we are ready to defend! However, the children are ready to defend too, but with less life experience. So they are definitely lacking wisdom in comparison to older family members (i.e., mom, dad, etc.). But like anything else, fighting can strain and stress relationships. No one likes to be in those situations. Think about it. Do you like having an argument with your child over him/her not cleaning his/her room? What would happen if you looked at your frustrations and disagreements, tensions and arguments differently. What if you committed to carrying each other instead of letting each other down? The K.I.S.S. ~ Carry each other! Imagine coming together and finding the common ground. What seems so different may be more alike. Connect - How can you serve with a heart of kindness? Think of it as hospitality. Collaborate - What do you have in common that you can come together on? Create Curiosity - What can I learn from where you stand? As a parent and leader of your family, you are responsible for teaching life skills. One of those is how you handle opposing positions. Life is not about everything and everyone agreeing. But respecting and growing to understand more of who the other person is. Most people desire to be seen and heard. And that goes for children too. Be cautious not to let disagreements and fights get in the way of love! You don't have to agree, but you can love unconditionally. "Be present. Be incredible.

What’s in a name? According to Sharón Lynn Wyeth, our name gives us our contract with the divine in this lifetime. So, what can we learn about our purpose and personality based on the letter combinations in our name? And can we leverage an understanding of neimology to make sense of our experience with the coronavirus? Sharón is the creator of Neimology Science, the study of the placement of letters in a name. In 15 years of research and three years of testing in more than 70 countries, she has evaluated thousands of names and developed an expertise in uncovering an individual’s strengths, challenges and life purpose. Sharón is also the Founder and CEO of Know the Name, the host of Know the Name, Know the Genius in You and the bestselling author of Know the Name, Know the Person; Know the Name, Know the Spirit; and Know the Name, Know How to Connect. Today, Sharón joins Sylvia to explain how she developed an expertise in names and created the science of neimology.

Dr. Jeanette welcomes Dawn Burnett, author of Connect: How to know if he's really your man, to explore the complex details of relationships over a lifetime. Relationships; what are they, why are they evolving, or are you super stuck and just want to jump ship? Are you looking for safety, companionship, support or someone to take care of you when you get old? Is your relationship supposed to complete you or fix something that is broken in you? What hole are you trying to fill? Is a lifetime commitment obsolete anymore since our life span has increased by decades; can it still be possible? Perhaps, we may be looking for a relationship to have another person to just dance through life with, yes, it can be that simple.

Have you heard of the new zika virus?  (Define) Define virus vs bacterial infection and give examples Virus: A microorganism that is smaller than a bacterium that cannot grow or reproduce apart from a living cell. A virus invades living cells and uses their chemical machinery to keep itself alive and to replicate itself. Examples: cold and flu A bacterial infection is any type of infection that is caused by bacteria rather than a virus or other organism. Bacteria are very common in our bodies and in the world around us. Many of them are helpful. Less than 1% of bacteria will actually make us sick. When they do make us sick, they are called "bacterial infections". Examples: salmonella, staph, or strep (Connect) How you go about figuring out which a patient has (Inspire) Education will help you better understand infections you may be exposed to MUSIC FOR DOC SHOCK (JIM) As if we need another reason to preach to everyone about the dangers of artificial sweeteners!  A new study out of the Weizmann Institute of Science's Department of Immunology shows that artificial sweeteners actually manipulate our gut bacteria, attacking the important gut biome and causing diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

MUSIC FOR DOC SHOCK (JIM) Doc Shock of the day 2 min Not shocking at all, but still a great study. This was out of my alma mater, George Washington University. The found that a correlation between borderline testosterone levels in men and depression. In the study, there was a 56% correlation. The recommendation is that that men who present with borderline testosterone levels should be screened for depression and obesity. I believe the same is true of the opposite – if men present with obesity and depression, they need to be screened for testosterone deficiency. Ironically, a high percentage of the study subjects were also taking anti-depressants. Did they need them? Or did they simply need bio-identical hormone replacement therapy? http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/07/150701123657.htm Facebook (Stay Young Media Group), website (Stayyoungamerica.com, and iTunes, call us 844-well 100   Segment 2   About tease – 1 min. – coming up – Mark Berzins, the author of MOST GUYS ARE LOSERS (And How To Find a Winner): Dating Wit & Wisdom From Your Dad.

It appears that this molecule then starts to block the regeneration of brain cells. The great thing about this research is that if they can develop antibodies to this protein, we may be able to preserve the brain better as we age.  Welcome Mark Berzins, the author of MOST GUYS ARE LOSERS (And How To Find a Winner): Dating Wit & Wisdom From Your Dad. Discuss Why you wrote this book – sounds like something a girl would write The Abuser: he may be charming, handsome, and appear loving and normal. But there is something wrong in his wiring that causes him to switch personalities. Bottom Line: If he hurts you, break it off. No second chances. No apologies accepted. The Cheater shows his colors early and often in a relationship. He can't keep himself from straying and is weak-willed. If your man says, “I couldn't help myself,” Berzins counters “that's a load of crap.” Bottom Line: Cheating should always be deemed a permanent character flaw. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Jealous & Possessive Guy: A red flag is the perpetual ‘I love you' You can't ever leave his sight without constant reassurance that you love him. His underlying fear is that you will leave him. Bottom Line: The jealous guy can be dangerous, so firmly explain to him that you no longer love him. If he continues to pursue you, get a restraining order The Selfish Guy: Many selfish guys end up being career singles. It is the reason they never settle down. You will always be #2 in his life to going out with these guys, going to the gym, the ballgame. This guy is always doing something and will call you selfish if you ask him to spend time with you. Bottom Line: Do you really want to have a boyfriend who makes you feel like going out with you is causing him to make a sacrifice? That's garbage. Selfishness is just another form of addiction that can be overcome with discipline and self-control.

From your book, what are some of the top things that will help business owners to grow their business, to leverage and understand their business and how customer service can help their business and get more leads and more customers and will they see results?

What is the one online resource, website, tool or app that you absolutely cannot live without in your business? What are some of the books that have had the biggest impact on you? What is one thing in your life right now that you are really excited about – something that you are working on to develop yourself or people? Where can our listeners find your information online? What is one quote or saying that you live by or that inspires you in times of adversity?   Highlights Jane Anderson state that when she was growing up something that she has always been interesting in was the world of business but while she was in high school, her very first job was in retail and she worked for a company called Mavis Shoes in Australia and Mavis Shoes is a family type shoes store and they have branches all over Australia. She started working for the Mavis Shoes brand when was she was 14 years old but the keeping was that the Mavis family owned the Mavis brand and it was a big iconic family in Australia and they sold the company and moved on. She started in retail and remembered how the experience was with customers and how she was allowed to have a customer by herself for the first month. They had to have somebody with them the whole time, the standards of training was high but it lead her down the path of really starting to become interesting in personally branding businesses so the Mavis name is still known in Australia, they are 3rd and 4th generation retailers and she has since gone on to work with other industries like State Government, Roads and Transport but she kept coming back to retail, she spent about 15 years in retail, she was a manager. She did a marketing degree but have always loved customers, she loves being able to make them happy but she worked with the Mavis family for 12 years and one of the things she found while working with them is that what drew people to the business was because everybody had a story about the family, everybody knew something about them or they knew the daughters and what she notice was that the family had a strong reputation in the community and they were very well respected and her job was to make sure that their values of customer service that she adapted those and did things in the same way as if they were in the store, she went on to be a area manager for them. She then went on to work for a super retail group, Supercheap Auto in Australia, it is the fastest growing retail companies, they have just over 10,000 staff and she was the Learning and Development Officer for them. She always knew she would go out on her own, it’s something she has always been committed to is customer service. She grew up in a place called Lismore in Australia, which is laid back, she moved to the city when she finished University because she just wanted the jobs there and she has gone on to doing other things. Jane Andersons stated that on a global level from what she see and talking clients is that she thinks there’s not one way to do things anymore, there are so many channels the way you access customers and particular now, what’s the digital platform that matches the face to face customer experience. She stated that she was talking to someone the other day and they said, “the only reason why I on Twitter is make a customer service complaint because if I can’t the answers, they’ll soon answer me if I’m on Twitter”, so the customer service experience she thinks is a lot more transparent than it use to be in the past. If somebody has a bad experience, it’s not that hard for us to go and find out, people make comments on Facebook pages and Twitter, so the digital foot print as part of your customer experience in your business is something she thinks people don’t always think is much. She stated that the other thing is about evolving and changing, so if you look at the retail industry, something that they have noticed in Australia and it’s been in the media, is that retail businesses are being extraordinary slow to adapt online shopping as part of their experience, so a lot of Australian shoppers have shopped overseas online because the can get it cheaper and so Australian retailers suffer because they are not offering the customer experience that people want, so people will shop overseas. Those 2 things, the impact of digital social media, businesses evolving and changing fast enough because it’s the ones that edge all, who can move quickly if they look at thing like Instagram or what people are able to sell and create the customer experience and integrate that, it’s just not walking pass the shop front anymore. Jane stated that the challenge is that the customer is driving the direction of the experience, not the businesses and it depends on the kind of business you are in but she thinks that 1 of the challenge is being able to know when to listen to customers and when not to, she always thinks of that Henry Ford quote, “If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse.” Sometimes it’s that balance, it’s not necessarily playing with the popularity contest. They’ll say, I need you to look at what’s trending and stop marketing around what customers or what people are talking about and what’s trending but the problem with that is that you’re just diluting your business because you’re focusing on what people are talking about what they want but sometimes it’s about being comfortable that what you’re talking about is actually about what people need and you have to be comfortable that you might not be popular, you might not be everybody’s favorite but if you’re following what everybody is interested in, you become commoditize, so you have to be very careful that you can still stand out even if customers are wanting it and everyone’s following what customers want. Sometime you have to actually go in the opposite direction. Jane stated that when she first started her business, she is a sole entrepreneur and have a team of 1 staff member full-time and rest of her team are contractors but one of the things when she first started and she left corporate business life was that she had some money saved and she thought she was going to go out and start her business and the first year she lost about $30,000.00 in google advertisments and search engines optimization and it wasn’t that anything was wrong with those products, they are fantastic but she spent it on the wrong person and she was a little naïve and this person said that they were an expert but she might have well just given the money away. When that happened she had a choice, she had either go back to job or she had to find a way to make it work with zero budget, so it forced her to start to learn about LinkedIn a little more, it’s free and she can go and start reaching out to people and contacting them and that was in 2009. At the time she was also writing profiles for her clients, so they were getting jobs, and branding people and what happened was that she used LinkedIn to help grow her business and that was how, she learnt from someone in the United States of America about how the algorithms work. She is also productivity. The book was written for people who are time poor, who just really need it to work for them when they need it to, when they are trying to grow their business and what are the activities they need to work on that will get the growth. There are thought leaders, experts in their fields she has worked with and she generally says, “you can get your turn over up to the $300,000.00 mark just purely through LinkedIn before you start your website.” She stated that LinkedIn is extraordinary powerful and what it did for her at a time when she had no money and she had to try and work out how to grow her business, it puts you in the drivers’ seat as to hoping that you will get an enquiry on your website. Jane stated that a client who is a sole entrepreneur, her name is Rachael Burke who lives in Australia and is a Sales Expert and she came to her and said, “I’m not really good at lead generation but I’m really good at selling, so I just need more customers.” So what she did with her was to show her the formula and how to get it to work and she increased her sales by over 66% in 3 months, so that’s in the hundred of thousands of dollars. She does LinkedIn for lead generation for large organizations as well as small ones and sole entrepreneurs. Jane stated that in Australia, they have a business which is a big superannuation and superannuation in Australia is like money you put away for your retirement and they built all the LinkedIn profiles for the staff and for the financial planners for the business and what she got them to do was, they have a change of legistration in Australia so it was a great time to educate the market on some of the changes because nobody was educating the market, she was out looking. She said to them that they need to run webinar, they need to got out and educate some of these clients and they got 500 new leads from that webinar. That was purely through leveraging the profiles and that was about 50 staff that got their profiles built. The opportunities that are in there but the thing is with LinkedIn is that, she find most people will come to her and say, “I’ve got a LinkedIn account but I have never achieve any results from it.” and then she’ll ask them what their profile say, there are often be no content in it at all or she’ll ask them how often they have reached out to people? What have you said to them? What have you invited them to? What’s your content plan? And they don’t have any of that, so LinkedIn doesn’t make clients magically appear, you have to go out and find them but you’ve got to have really good collateral and they make a decision about you in 3 seconds. You have to make sure that all your collateral and profile is so nice and polished and sharp and that it matches how amazing you are in person because we only have 3 seconds for them to go “wow, this person knows what they are doing, this person is amazing, I have to talk to you.” To have a profile that really works, like making sure it turns up in search results as well as having that impact when they see you. For just a simple 3 seconds, that’s how long they look at it before they move on and have a look at somebody else, so they have to make sure that they make their job really easy. Jane stated that people need to shift their attention now onto the other person, so you’re looking for what’s the common ground or what the purpose because the other person is asking themselves “why are you offering to connect with me?” so you’ve got to be able to answer the “why”, so if you’re reaching out and for example, she was reaching out medical financial planner, if he just looked at her profile and say, “why is she offering to connect with me, I don’t understand.” She explained to him that she does a lot of work with doctors, she helps them with lead generation but she helps them who are going into specialist training programs and she said to him, “I would love to catch up with you, I think there’s an opportunity for me to perhaps add some value to your clients, if not, that’s totally fine but here are some links, you are welcome to check out what I do and I would love to catch up with you for coffee one day and see what I can do to help you as well.” And so he met with her, so it all started from there and you’ve got to focus, look at their profile, what is it that they do and you have to address, “I notice this on your profile or I notice that you do this type of work, I notice that you’re in the same industry, I do this type of work or I help people like you in this space, so I thought I’d connect.” Jane stated that what happens is that just because you are ready to sell, doesn’t mean that the customer is ready to buy. So when you reach out to people, people have got to get to know you so they are going, “hold on, I haven’t even met you” and it’s a little like dating. She recalled she went on a date with a guy once and he turned up with a bag pack and she said to him, “have you just coming from the gym?” and he said, “No, you never know, things might go alright” and she thought he was joking and he opened his bag and there was a tooth brush, he had a change of clothes, his undies. She stated that LinkedIn is a little like that, is that sometimes we turn up with a bag pack, we’re ready to move in together, start this relationship and go in whole but the customer is saying, “hold on, can we just have coffee first, who are you?” So we sort of scare people and that’s when you hear people say they just get harass by sales people. You have to connect, be liked, friendly but then you’ve got to let people get to know you through your content, Mark Port who wrote the book, Book Yourself Solid said, “you have got to earn the right to sell.” And the problem is that most people don’t earn the right and then they scare people away. You can then ask for the value, you can ask for what you want based on the value you delivered. So in other words, if you have given enough, you have done enough content, if you kept visible enough, if you build enough trust, now you’re ready to go and ask for what you want. One of the things she does with clients is that she will look at how much value they have given to their audience because what they do is done nothing, they have given no value and they will say to her, “I want to be able to grow my business on LinkedIn but it’s not working.” But are not giving their audience any value, so you can’t go and ask for what you want because you haven’t earn it yet. You can do that in less then 7 minutes a day. Jane shared her concept of people buying you, her experience working with this family from she was 14 years old, people’s connections were so intertwined. Jane shared back then the only way people really knew who you were was if you were on TV or something or if you are in the newspaper. Now, Social Media has heavily leveled the playing field so if you leverage your name and identify your Unique Selling Proposition (USP) that you bring to your customer. Jane says thought leaders will at times come to her and say there is so much content out there already about for example productivity and Jane believes there is only one of you and so people deserve to hear your unique views on the subject – your experiences, your voice, you lens, your interpretation and your insights. Your Social Media profile, particularly something like Linked In offers great opportunities for a small business owner or soloproneur that is leveraging their own brand – you own your own profile, you can add agility, personality and so much more which is a threat to larger companies. Jane shared how she stays motivated every single day – Jane thinks it is important to be really clear about your purpose and what you want. Jane shared she thinks that motivation really hits you when you have a choice at 2:00 am in the morning and you have the choice of going to bed or finishing that last bit of work because you really want to do it and get it done. Jane says she believes that it is in those moments that your motivation will either work for you or against you and it is in those moments that purpose is really important. Jane says some other factors that really keeps her motivated is that she is very particular about the people that she works with – she chooses to work with thought leaders and experts in their fields as they inspire her. She further stated that if they bring the best to her and inspire her then she can bring the best to others and inspire them. Jane also shared that it is important to find a group that you can belong to that are similar to you such as an industry association etc. and then Jane said there is also the basics such as eating well, get enough sleep as these activities help to make you more productive and efficient. Jane shared the one website, online tool or app that she absolutely cannot live without in her business is LinkedIn as a Social Media platform but the one app she cannot live without is actually an app that she created. Jane spent some time as a Productivity Consultant working with some real large corporations, she did a lot of work helping CEO’s and EA’s how to work really well together and what she found working with the two set of persons was the speed of communication between going to meetings and being on the run. Jane said she was looking an Concur, which is an IT company that looks at the on-the-go economy and how there is this shift to doing things on the go. Jane said the app she has created is called “Memo-Mailer” and it can be accessed at memomailer.com and it is available on iTunes. Jane stated the way that it works is holding down the button in the app – say what you have to say and then the app will email the memo to your Inbox. Jane said sometimes ideas come along at really inconvenient times and this tool really captures those things. Jane stated that she built the app with her colleague Dermot Crowley, who is an expert in Productivity and he has written the book Smart Work, which was recently released and hit Best Seller in Australia. Jane said that’s the app she definitely cannot live without. Jane shared some books that have had the biggest impact on her Sew Your Thoughts by Matt Church, he has spent the last 30 years helping people who are experts in their fields commercialize their ideas. She also mentioned Book Yourself Solid by Michael Port, which is a New York Times Best Seller and Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. Jane mentioned another book she really believes is great is How the World Sees You by Sally Hogshead, she has created a diagnostic testing that helps people identify what makes them fascinating. Jane also mentioned Seth Godin’s Linchpin as a great book too. Jane gave us an additional nugget through the book – Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck – another “must read!” Jane shared the one thing that is going on in her life right now that she is really excited about is a piece of work that she is working on to further develop her Linked In engagements with clients which will be called the Lead Generation Indicator. The tool is specifically designed for people who are experts in their field and will help clients identify 12 activities that will grow your business even if it is from scratch with absolutely no clients. A complete package for business owners.

Most people leave a job interview and are no closer to knowing if they will be offered the position than when they sent in their resume. Even if they feel the interview went well they realize they forgot to ask about the company or the next steps in the job process. Waiting for the company to call with feedback can be agonizing. Mac’s List listeners can avoid uncertainty by following the steps provided in this episode. So, what do you say when a hiring manager asks if you have any questions? Guest expert, J.T. O’Donnell says to ask open-ended questions and to use the job interview to find out as much about the company as possible. If you don’t, you are missing out on an important opportunity to get to know the company better. This can help you to know you are making the right choice if a job offer appears. The employer is expecting you to ask questions about how you can serve them and how you can earn the money they would be paying you. If your first questions are about you, it can come across selfish and self-absorbed. They want you to focus on them first. Prove that you have done your homework and demonstrate you want to learn more about the company in order to build trust and respect. J.T. O’Donnell guides us through her 4C Strategy, which ultimately benefits both the job candidate and the employer. The 4 C’s and helpful open-ended question a job seeker should ask are: Connect “How did you come to work here?” “What do you like most about working here?” Corporate Culture “Who is the most successful person hired in the last year?” “Who has been the least successful person and what went wrong?” Challenges “What is the company’s biggest challenge this year?” “How can my skills help you to overcome the challenge?” Close “Is there anything about my candidacy you would change to make me a better fit for this job?” “What are the next steps in the hiring process?” Pro Tip — Hiring Managers hire based on personality, aptitude, and experience.
