You've been told that in order to be successful online, you need to use all the different social media platforms. But what if you're just not good at using some of those platforms? It's frustrating when you don't feel like you can be your true self on a platform because it's just not a good fit for you. It feels like you're pretending to be someone you're not and it's exhausting. Use the platform or medium that is best suited for you. If that happens to be video, then do video. If podcasting is your thing, then do podcasting. Don't try to force yourself into using a platform just because "everyone else is doing it." In this episode of The Chair-apist, I interview Corbett Barr, the co-founder of Fizzle. An online platform that helps you learn how to blog and grow your audience. This was an insightful conversation about what it takes to build a successful blog and how to reach your target audience. If you're looking for tips on improving your blog or growing your online following, this is the episode for you!

On today's show, we have a conversation with Corbett Barr from CorbettBarr.com. Corbett has had a huge impact on my life and business and, after a recent conversation with Clay about hustling and burning out, I knew I had to introduce them. That's because Corbett is one of my favorite thinkers when it comes to balancing life with the hustle of entrepreneurship.  Corbett's insights lead us down a path answering questions like: what am I giving up by hustling all the time? Do I really need to promote my business everywhere online? Or how can I stop wasting time on tasks that don't matter and focus on better ones?

If I let myself get obsessed with the fact that I don't want to do it, then it can throw off my entire day.”Corbett Barr has been self-employed on the Internet since 2005, earning a living from blogging, podcasting, online courses, software services, and more. He is perhaps best known for being the founder and CEO of Fizzle, a community and library of courses for independent entrepreneurs who want to make a living online. I first got in touch with Corbett back in 2016 or 2017, when I joined Fizzle. I learned much of what I know about running an online business from him. Corbett has such a wide variety of skills. He's been a corporate consultant, he has founded several businesses, and he also does a lot of creative work, having written over 500 blog posts and published more than 400 podcast episodes. So I was very excited to ask him about his approach to productivity.Corbett and I discuss: Digital minimalism (or at least digital mindfulness) and why he's been cleaning up his online presence Why you need a “North Star” to measure your productivity How to do creative work (as opposed to cranking widgets) Operating within the constraints that you have but also challenging those constraints And much more.

Would you delete all your online content just to start over and digitally reset? That's what Corbett and others are doing in 2021 and we're gonna talk about it. Plus, what it's like to run an online community/membership.

Corbett Barr shares how and why he deleted all of his social media and why our online identity must not become addicted to the viral successes of the internet.

Business ownership comes in many forms. The goal of this show has always been to expose the listener to as many ways to start earning 6 or 7 figures a year. In the last session, our guest, Chris Prefontaine, built his income generating machine through real estate investing. Then, in session 150, we had Corbett Barr on who told us about how he managed to make Fizzle from the knowledge he knew about monetizing traffic online.In this session, I had the chance to speak with an influencer here in the Indianapolis area about his background in various businesses including multi-level marketing (MLM).As you guys probably know, I've been a fan of properly ran MLM groups for years. For instance, way back in session 23 of the show, Laila and I had the opportunity to interview soon to be Amway Diamond Mark Nathan.What he and today's guest, Jeff Gamble, can tell you is that a large part of being successful in the network marketing arena is affiliating yourself with great people.Pair this experience of his with traditional business and the result is someone that knows a lot about what it takes to be successful entrepreneur and leader.But don't think that this journey of his has been easy. He's had more major setbacks than anyone I know.Even if you're not interested in getting involved with an MLM company, let his story be one of inspiration to you in whatever you're pursuing. Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU'LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: How was Jeff initially exposed to the multi-level marketing industry? 9:14 What life event made him change his perspective and look at other ways of making income? 16:02 When it comes to network marketing, what kind of benefits does Jeff believe associates get? 44:14 What are some things that people should consider when getting started with a MLM company? 53:21 What's Jeff looking forward to in the not too distant future? 58:57 Who are three influential people who have help get him to where he's at today? 1:01:39 What job or business would Jeff like to try out for a day? 1:01:49 What's the smallest decision he's made that's had the most impact in his life? 1:02:05 Is there something that every high school student should know? 1:02:25 What's the secret to achieving personal freedom? 1:02:45 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Jeff Online: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTubeSession Sponsor: Uncover Your Personal MissionMichael O'Neal interviews his MLM mentor David Wood317 Holistic HealthTony RobbinsJim RohnJohn Maxwell Right click here and save-as to download this episode to your computer.

If you've been following the show for awhile, you're probably aware that I'm a big fan of Fizzle. Personally, I think they're one of the best resources I've seen out there for the lifestyle entrepreneur.Why?Well, there's a couple of reasons for that. For one, their library of courses available to their members are geared for those who need an Entrepreneurship 101 or 201 course. They cover all the fundamentals.But that's not all that's there.In fact, the creators joke with the idea that people come for the courses, but stay for the community.Which is so true. In fact, I'm still interacting with several people I met on there 4 years ago. Including Veronica.In today's interview with co-founder of Fizzle, Corbett Barr, Veronica and I talk to Corbett about the founding of Fizzle and what he thinks about the online entrepreneurial space 10 years after he started his first blog Think Traffic.It's my hope that you get a bit of an understanding of why Veronica and I both believe Fizzle is such a great resource.Enjoy! SPECIFICALLY, YOU'LL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT: How did Corbett originally get started in the tech startup world? 9:11What was his initial plan in starting Think Traffic? 17:29How have things changed online since the start of Fizzle? 22:24Where did the idea for Fizzle come from? 28:51What kind of advice does Corbett have for those who want to get off the fence and develop the business they truly want? 36:23What's the future for Fizzle and Palapa look like? 41:37Who are three influences that have helped him get to where he's at today? 47:20Is there something he's excited about that's going to affect entrepreneurship in the future? 49:06What topic should more people be talking about yet hardly anyone is? 50:54What is something Corbett believed as a 35 year old that he's changed his mind on? 52:41What does it mean to live a life of abundance? 54:53 ITEMS and PEOPLE MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Corbett Online: Fizzle, Personal Website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, YouTubeCohost: Veronica KirinPast interviews with Fizzle Alums - Barrett Brooks and Steph CrowderSan Miguel de AllendeBlog World ExpoWorld Domination SummitCaleb WojcikPalapaThe Lean Startup - Eric RiesRework, Getting Real - Jason Fried and David Heinemeier-Hansson (DHH)Evergoods Civic Transit Bag 40L Right click here and save-as to download this episode to your computer.

Today's episode is a little different. In my conversation with Corbett Barr in the last episode, I was struck by the role that time off played in his career shift. We talked about it as both a "sabbatical" and a "vision quest". Though most people might be familier with these idea, it is commonly something reserved for clergy and teachers. Today, I wanted to explore the idea of intentional time off for everyone, so I got together with my good friend Lacy Clark Ellman. Lacy is a spiritual director and blogger who writes around idea of intentionality in life. She also has just returned from a sabbatical. We talk about what sabbaticals are and how everyone could benefit from taking one. Show notes: themeaningmovement.com/episode9

Corbett Barr is an entrepreneur and blogger. He is a cofounder of Fizzle.co — an online community built around business training for entrepreneurs. Corbett's work took a dramatic turn when he left the traditional venture capital startup world to ask the question, what else could he do. I found his thoughtfulness around what he does and why he does it to be very inspiring, and I hope that you will too. Show notes: http://themeaningmovement.com/episode8

If you've listened to the show for any length of time, you know by now that I am a huge fan of Fizzle. Fizzle has literally helped me develop and grow my business from its inception. On today's show, I had the opportunity to interview the CEO of Fizzle, Corbett Barr. Although I've heard his story about how Fizzle was developed several times before, I still had a few questions that I wanted to be answered. Listen as he shares his story, lessons that he has learned from a previously failing business, and how he used those experiences to make Fizzle the fabulous online community that it is today.

Here’s another special episode for you guys! A guest teacher episode featuring the founder and CEO of fizzle.co, Corbett Barr. He has been doing business for quite some time and we really like his perspective when it comes to building businesses. Let Corbett teach us how to launch our first product in 5 steps.

If I'm going to be completely honest, I had no idea what to expect from this conversation. I had (stupidly) labeled John as a certain kind of guy. Someone very different from me.  But, I was totally blown away by our conversation. First of all, labeling people is stupid. Second, I found that we had so much in common it was almost freaky. John is a brilliant guy and we both share a common inability to half-ass something. It's all or nothing. And I love that about him. John is certainly everywhere these days, but I think I can honestly say you haven't heard a conversation like this. Here are some of my favorite bits from the show: On Success and Persistence “Success and happiness is the gradual realization of a worthy ideal. And the keys there are gradual and worthy. So it's not getting to whatever you think that journey end point is. It is the journey itself. But it's not just any ideal like money or fame or fortune, it's of a worthy ideal. So when we can find how to combine those two, things really get better.” “Show me any entrepreneur at a high level who wasn't irresponsible, not only at some point in their journey, but multiple times in their journey. You can't find one. Sometimes you've got to the on the job training.” “My first 50 episodes of Entrepreneur on Fire are horrible. I was really really bad. I had zero experience and it showed in every way, shape and form. But if I had waited until I was good, I never ever would have started because the only way to actually get good at something is to do badly a number of times.” “Give yourself permission to wake up everyday and say, ‘Today, I'm going to do something good.'” “I could have packed it up and walked away many times and right now Entrepreneur on Fire would be a footnote, but instead I persevered. It's going to take persistence and perseverance to get to the point of turning it into a viable business.” On Quitting and Getting Better “So many people quite days or weeks before success.” “If you want to be, do.” “If there's something you really do want to do, you have to do it 1000 times.” “The way I came a better podcaster was to podcast. Just do it over and over and hone your craft.” “One inch wide and one mile deep is so important if you want to be successful.” “I was a really terrible podcaster, but I was the best seven-day-a-week podcaster, because I was the only one.” As always, I had a great time talking to John. Enjoy the show! Show Notes Min 28: The advantage of being all in. Min 35:19: If you wait until you're ready, you've waited too long. Min 45:13: Why perseverance is key to success. Min 57:40: The importance of reading. Min 65:18: Why it's ok to focus one thing. Bits & Bytes Mentioned in the Show TGM02 with Chase Reeves Will Ferrell - Anchorman TGM07 with Corbett Barr

“Everything good that's happened to me over the last five years is the result of starting a blog. Of putting my thoughts and words down on the page.” One of my favorite conversations so far, Corbett Barr (if that's his real name) is the real deal. Corbett and I spoke at length on this topic and it's one of my favorite conversations so far. I've wanted to get Corbett Barr (if that's his real name) on the show for a long time and when we finally made it happen, I didn't want to waste a minute of it. We really covered the gamut in this one, folks. We talked about taking risks and pursuing our dreams, audience building (how to do it and how NOT to do it), product building, entrepreneurship as a lifestyle, what “success” really is and so much more. Corbett is co-founder of Fizzle, a community and video training libraries for people working to become self-employed. He's also one of those guys who just exudes wisdom. It kind of pours our of him like sweat. So get read to get a little Corbett wisdom sweat on you. Here are some of my favorite bits from the show: On Creating Products and Success “There are a million ways to win, you just have to be at the right place at the right time” “You can only do so much to create a really great product and you never what thing is going to take off and what thing isn't and a lot of times the solution is to buy more lottery tickets because each project is essentially a lottery ticket and you can't get better at winning the lottery.” “It may be that your thing just isn't good enough.” On Icky Marketing Tactics “You owe it to yourself to examine every tactic your aware off and pick it apart and follow you're own internal compass.” “It is possible to create a really great product that goes nowhere if you're not willing to promote it at all” “When you say [these tactics] work, the problem is who do they work better on?” For some who is using [these tactics], they might win the short term game of getting more subscribers or whatever, but what they lose is is the influence game, over time.” “You do this sort of stuff long enough and you lose influence with the people that matter.” The Importance of Influence “Most people don't think for themselves. They just look to the clues, the influencers, the reviews, the social proof. So maybe what matters is not reaching each individual person who comes to your site be reaching the people whose opinion matters because that's how you're going to grow an audience anyway.” “Some of the people that are close to me and that I've worked hard to cultivate are worth 100,000 email subscribers.” On Blogging, Career Desperation and Branding “Everything good that's happened to me over the last five years is the result of starting a blog. Of putting my thoughts and words down on the page.” “I find that over time if put constraints on myself in terms of what the topic is, who I'm writing for and what goal it has to achieve, then I end up not enjoying the process so much and that's where friction happens and that's where a great project can sort of get stuck in the muck.” “People can sense desperation in your career.” “There's nothing to be scared of if you commit to living your life in the meantime.” “[Eventually] you learn that any sort of adversity is just another challenge and there's always a way around it.” “There's no reason the an

Ever noticed how other people are running their businesses and wonder - how can I take a note from them and improve my business too? Now I don't mean you look at them and wonder - how I can BE like them. Or - why am I not as good as them? Or why can't MYYY business be THAT successful? No, not envy. I mean - really looking at the things they do every single day, every week, over and over again...and thinking hmmm maybe if I did those things I could improve my business too? Over the last few weeks I've shared some business owners who taught me something about the way I want to run my own life (and business). We looked at Amy Porterfield who shows by example how to be practical, take action, and keep things very simple and straightforward. We featured Corbett Barr who believes in being useful and running a business with integrity at all times. Then - last week we listened to Erika Lyremark who showed me the power of confidence and self-acceptance. This week - we've got one more interview to point you to and that person has a little of all the first three in her. She's been on the show before, but this interview was recorded back when she was taking the leap into the unknown and changing her business. She leads by example always saying you can have the business you want - you get to choose. It's your business, right? I'm talking about Laura Roeder. Check this final #TBT interview out where Laura talks about changing her business model when she first created a program back in July 2012. Is there something in your business you want to change, but aren't really sure if you should? Listen to Laura and how she made her decision to change her own business. In fact, check the show notes below and check out our interview from July 2014 where she talks about yet another venture she's jumped into and succeeded.  Get To Know Laura LKR Social Media blog LKR's on Twitter LKR Social Mediai on Facebook Show Notes Meet Edgar (Laura's latest big business addition)  

  Every day 2 million blog posts are written (enough to fill Time Magazine for 770 years). Thousands of blogs are launched every day. The internet is awash with blogs, but very few of those blogs are blogs that matter. Truth is most bloggers launch to a deathly silence. No traffic, no engagement and no impact. […]

I'm happy to present another podcast episode today with Corbett Barr of The Sparkline (Formerly ThinkTraffic.net) Corbett has been in the online marketing game for a long time. I decided to focus this episode on his story and why he decided to become an online Entrepreneur. Corbett has created courses such as Build A Blog [...] The post Using Relationships To Leverage Traffic Generation With Corbett Barr – Ep. 59 appeared first on Voices Of Marketing.

Caleb Wojcik is one of the three co-founders of Fizzle (along with Corbett Barr and Chase Reeves), an online business training program that I've participated in and talked about a little bit on this blog and on Twitter. Before working on Fizzle and embracing a life of entrepreneurship, Caleb lived amongst the cubicles… working for a large aerospace company. During that time, he actually had the difficult job of creating spreadsheets with names of people to be laid off. (Now he actually helps teach people how to quit your job, which is ironic.) Disenchanted with corporate work, Caleb founded the blog PocketChanged.com (recently re-branded as CalebWojcik.com), which led to working with Corbett Barr, the creator of ThinkTraffic.net. Think Traffic was kind enough to publish my guest post 5 Ways Copying Politicians Can Grow Your Blog earlier this year) In this episode, Caleb and I discuss: how he went from a corporate career to cubicle renegade why Caleb became an entrepreneur instead of continuing to work in the corporate world how you can quit your job to become an entrepreneur even if you have large amounts of debt the importance of connecting with other people online how Caleb was able to turn a side blog into a new job which made him much happier "By the way, it's pronounced “WAH-JICK," rhymes with “LOGIC.”
