I read a great book by Kim Krause Schwalm, its client badassery secrets, I read one of her emails one it said she doesn't write copy out by hand. I heard Dan Kennedy said he use to write copy out by hand. Two great copywriters. Two different styles. The point is don't matter how you get there but strive for greatness. It's Friday so I kept it brief. And I got a party to attend with my favorite 3 year old. Enjoy your weekend.

Every cleaning business owner eventually faces the dreaded moment when they must decide whether to keep struggling with a difficult employee or let them go. This raw, candid conversation dives deep into the realities of employee termination, offering practical wisdom for those agonizing over toxic workplace situations. We have all worked in a toxic environment at one point in our working careers.We also share the precise warning signs that indicate it's time to part ways with staff members – from the employee who consistently gives "underpaid vibes" complaints to those who damage client relationships through poor communication. The unmistakable red flag? There is also a reference to Dan Kennedy, ad copy guru, he has a famous saying for when it's time to part ways with a client's that mis behave. "When you find yourself waking up three mornings in a row thinking about an employee problem. As the saying goes, if they're consuming that much mental space and you're not sleeping together, it's time for them to go."The cornerstone of successful termination is proper documentation. We walk through exactly what this means: starting with verbal warnings (which you must document in your calendar), followed by written documentation, and finally termination if behaviors don't improve. Without this crucial paper trail, you're vulnerable to unemployment claims that can significantly increase your tax burden. Beyond the legal considerations, we explore the human elements of termination – conducting the conversation in a public place rather than your home office, ensuring you have a witness present, providing final payment properly documented as "last and final pay," and maintaining the employee's dignity throughout the process. Your approach during these difficult moments not only protects your business legally but preserves your reputation in the community.Listen for crucial distinctions between handling W-2 employees versus 1099 contractors, state-specific employment laws you must know, and strategies for preventing problem employees from contaminating your entire team culture. Managing staff effectively isn't just about finding great cleaners – it's about creating systems that protect your business when relationships don't work out.This is not the book that mentions the Dan S Kennedy quote, but it is an interesting topic: https://amzn.to/4ld7Owg or here: https://amzn.to/4iKZp1cSend us a text It can be crowed when trying to figure out who you are going to learn from Erica Paynter is the brains behind My Virtual Bookkeeper, a bookkeeping firm for cleaning companies, and the creator of Clean Co.

Long before ClickFunnels was founded, "Young Russell Brunson" was taking the entrepreneurial world by storm, teaching both single moms new to business and Dan Kennedy's elite students the secrets to finding their dream customers, building irresistible offers and making a ton of money very quickly. In part one of the THREE-part episode, Russell Brunson covers a few key areas of his vast expertise: Lead generation strategy and the three types of funnels you MUST have if you want your business to thrive online.

This week, Dan goes back to the basics—because that's where the breakthroughs often live. This might be the single most important episode you listen to, especially if you feel like you've hit a plateau. He lays out the fundamentals of crafting a compelling offer, why most founders avoid doing it, and how your aversion to rejection might be holding you back from growth.

The annual RSA Conference on information security is coming up and it arrives during a very active security market. Analysts Garrett Bekker, Dan Kennedy and research director Scott Crawford return to the podcast to discuss what they expect to see in San Franscisco with host Eric Hanselman. The largest transaction ever in the information security world, Google's acquisition of cloud security unicorn Wiz, has been echoing across capital and technology markets. It's reinforced the importance of cloud security and its nature as a distinct technology segment. Enterprises have become fully hybrid in their infrastructure mix and they're struggling to mitigate cloud risks. Part of the struggle is leading to tool consolidation and platform approaches to security management. It's a situation that's led by the fact that the average enterprise already reports spending a third of their security budgets on a single security operations vendor. Of course, AI will be front and center and this year agentic AI is being examined as a way to scale up security capabilities. AI capabilities have been part of security tools for many years and the challenge has always been building trust in automated actions. It will be some time before autonomous actions are turned on. There's a long history of keeping human review in place as trust is built. It's not that different from previous technology automation transitions, but with security, there's a greater imperative.

Darrell Castle endeavors to give his opinion on the subject of tariffs and what they mean for the United States. Transcription / Notes RESETTING THE ORDER Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 11th day of April in the year of our Lord 2025. It's difficult to leave the subject of war and talk about tariffs but I have been waiting for the wars to pause long enough for me to do it. The wars haven't cooperated, but I have to pause them for this week since the subject of tariffs can no longer be ignored. I don't claim to be an economist but I do know something about economic history so, I will, therefore, endeavor to give an opinion on the subject of tariffs and what they mean for us. I used to study the marketing theory of one of the great marketers in the world today, Dan Kennedy. People would pay handsomely for Dan's advice and they would often ask him, so what should I do, this or that, and his answer was, yes. In other words, he would advise them to implement all those ideas at the same time. President Trump seems to have adopted that shotgun approach to how he deals with the US economy and its relationship with the world. The tariff seems to be the base of Trump's economic program and he has announced the implementation of 10% baseline tariffs on all imports but he has now temporarily paused them for 90 days. My understanding is that all reciprocal tariffs are paused except China which stands at 125%. He said that “yippy” globalists and “queasy” skeptics fueled his decision. I guess that means people were getting nervous and that made him nervous. Tariffs are a tax on the importers of goods and the people who buy the finished products from the imported goods ultimately pay the tax. True, the buyer is free to not buy but in any event the tax money goes to the government and that explains the idea that tariffs will help reduce the deficit and therefore debt. The problem is that if we think about it the flaw in that reasoning is that increased revenue comes at the cost of decreased production thus offsetting any gains. Tariffs tend to slow down production wherever they are imposed. That is a concept proven time and again by history. The Chinese are a little uppity right now so their 125% tariff stays in place. The UN tells us that China now has 31% of world manufacturing and that is expected to increase to 45% by 2030. The idea then is to spur US manufacturing and that is a good thing but only if people have enough income to afford the products.  Trump asserts that this tariff will correct decades of unfair trade practices that have disadvantaged American workers and industries. Quote from the president; “For too long, other nations have taken advantage of our open markets while imposing barriers to our products. Those days are over.” Think about it like this; a banana republic sells bananas to us and we sell them cars. We import twice as many bananas as that country does cars so there is a trade deficit and we put a 100% tariff on bananas so problem solved. The difficulty is that the banana republic now can't afford nearly as many cars so it's self-defeating.  What he is attacking and threatening, then, is the order of the world that has existed since the end of WWll. It's a globalist order in which the United States controls the world's access to money with its reserve currency status while foreigners make stuff and exchange it for US debt and a promise to make interest payments on it. The economic world order alters or changes from time to time as it did with the end of the gold standard in 1971. Things seemed to work well until the first really expensive war collided with the civil rights movement in which millions of additional Americans had to be included in the social fabric of America, its welfare, and its politics. President Johnson talked from time to time about how difficult it was to pay for both at the same time.

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I break down one of the most important lessons I've ever learned in marketing and business: Every company has one funnel that rules them all!  …and the faster you identify and optimize yours, the faster you grow! I share the same framework I taught at Funnel Hacking Live this year, walking through the difference between acquisition funnels (how you acquire customers) and monetization funnels (how you make money from them after). Most people launch 10 funnels hoping one works… but the real secret is knowing which one deserves 90% of your attention, budget, and traffic. We also dive deep into the numbers from my own businesses… Including ClickFunnels, Prime Mover, Dan Kennedy's legacy brands, and more.  And I reveal how each one has a different “one funnel to rule them all” depending on the market and business model. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or spread too thin trying to launch too many offers, this episode will snap everything into focus. Key Highlights: Why “One Funnel to Rule Them All” isn't just a slogan, it's survival!!! The difference between acquisition and monetization funnels (and why you need both) How much time you should be spending on social media vs. paid ads The actual CPA and conversion numbers from our Selling Online funnel What Agora does better than almost anyone in the world, and how to model it How to give yourself a raise every single day This is one of those episodes that separates marketers from business owners. Rewind it. Take notes.

See all episodes or subscribe to the Personal Injury Marketing Minute here: https://optimizemyfirm.com/podcasts/. Transcript: Intro: Lindsey: Welcome to the Personal Injury Marketing Minute, where we quickly cover the hot topics in the legal marketing world. I'm your host, Lindsey Busfield. As a legal SEO agency, the law firms we work with all have a dedicated interest in growing their firms with strategic marketing initiatives. As such, we field a lot of questions regarding which marketing strategies are worth investing in and which are more hype than results. One organization we have been asked about multiple times is PILMMA. Many of the clients we work with are already PILMMA members and they consistently praise the strategic marketing and business management strategies that they receive as a result of their membership. Additionally, I had the opportunity to meet Ken Hardison, the Founder of PILMMA at their annual summit last year. And while I could talk secondhand about the great work that PILMMA does, nobody is going to be able to explain the game-changing resources PILMMA provides as well as Ken can himself. Thank you so much for joining us today. Ken: Oh, thank you, it's my honor. How Did PILMMA Start? Lindsey: Well, let's start with a little bit of information just about you. Can you share a little bit about your journey from becoming a lawyer to a leader in the legal marketing and management industry? Ken: Yeah, so I started practicing in '82 in a little town called Dunn, North Carolina. And I was a partner in another firm from 82 to 96. And I wanted to start marketing because I had went to court one day, I used to do PI, disability and criminal, and one of the partners did estate, real estate and the other one did domestic. And I went to court and this guy came in with crutches and I said, "What happened, Joe?" He said, "Well, I got hit by a semi." I said, "Well, you know, I do PI." He said, "Yeah, but I hired this guy off the TV." And it just hit me. Well, I went and tried the case and we won the case and I drove back to the office and I told my partner, I said, "I wan to have a meeting," I said, "We have got to change with the times," I said, "We need to start marketing." And they said, "No, it's unprofessional. We're not going to do it." So we had a dialogue for about six months. I left, took one associate and three staff and I went out and kind of went out, spent three days with John Morgan, this is in '96. Back then he only had 25 lawyers. I went Ken Nunn up in Indiana, and I shadowed him for two or three days and then I went and got involved with Dan Kennedy and Jay Abraham, and I just learned everything, read everything I could about marketing and then tried it to law firms. And I went out and mortgaged everything I had to my name, half a million dollars at that time and went on TV and started Yellow Pages. And of course the Yellow Pages are dead now. But anyway, in five years we went from two lawyers, three staff to 13 lawyers, 47 staff, and the rest is history. 2010, I just got up one morning and I just wasn't challenged, I wasn't looking forward to going to work, and I said, "I think I'm ready to do something else." And so I sold a law firm and I was going to retire, and I moved down to Myrtle Beach from Raleigh, I was living in Raleigh then, and I fished in golf for about six months,

In today's episode of The Russell Brunson Show, we wrap up the final installment of Day with Dan, where Dan Kennedy and I dive deep into the sales and marketing formula behind market disruption, radical positioning, and how to attract massive attention (whether positive or negative) to dominate your industry. If you've ever asked yourself how industry titans like Steve Jobs, David Ogilvy, and Joe Rogan built unstoppable brands, this episode uncovers the repeatable blueprint behind their success. The reality? Becoming a true authority isn't about playing it safe, it's about challenging the status quo, embracing controversy, and strategically leveraging both support and opposition to your advantage. Key Highlights: Why all market leaders follow a formula - and how you can apply it The critical role of books, media, and controversy in building industry authority How opposition drives traffic and makes you impossible to ignore The real reason most entrepreneurs fail to break through, and how to avoid their mistakes Why staying “neutral” is the fastest path to irrelevance How to strategically use media, podcast guests, and partnerships to amplify your brand The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make?

Remember nurture it, water it and show it lots of attention. You want your money tree to stick around for a long period of time. Poor People talk retirement. We talk about maintaining a money tree.

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I'm bringing you something super special - the first of a four-part series featuring Dan Kennedy from our Day with Dan at Funnel Hacking Live 10 ‘The Last Dance'. If you've ever felt like your business is different, that the usual marketing strategies don't apply to you, or that breaking into a market is harder than it should be, this episode is going to shift your perspective. Dan and I dive into the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make: believing their business is unique when it comes to marketing and sales. The truth? All businesses follow the same core structure… Attracting customers, converting them into buyers, and maximizing revenue.  Those who succeed are the ones who understand this and leverage it to their advantage.

In this thought-provoking episode, Keith Kalfas explores the challenging relationship between empathy and achieving extreme success. He argues that highly successful individuals often have to develop skills akin to a 'personality disorder' to manage their emotions and compartmentalize stressful situations. Through various analogies and insights, the episode delves into the necessity of conscious competence, emotional regulation, and high-level compartmentalization. Keith shares personal experiences, discusses influential figures like Dan Kennedy, and emphasizes the importance of developing oneself to meet a higher calling and achieve long-term success.   "Success isn't just about reaching the top—it's about mastering the delicate balance between empathy and the traits that may seem discordant with it. In the pursuit of greatness, we must learn to compartmentalize, adapt, and evolve, understanding that what appears as disorder may, in fact, be the order required for extraordinary achievement." - Keith Topics Covered: Introduction: Are You an Empath? The Necessity of Developing a Personality Disorder Compartmentalizing Emotions for Success Handling Stress and Maintaining Professionalism The Role of Empathy in Leadership The Importance of Emotional Maturity The Power of the Empathetic Witness Higher Levels of Consciousness The Butterfly Effect of Peace and Love Spiritual Insights and Personal Revelations Final Thoughts and Encouragement Key Takeaways The Complex Reality of Extreme Success: The journey to achieving success is undoubtedly fraught with hurdles that test one's mental fortitude. Successful people encounter stressful situations daily, similar to being in a batting cage with baseballs hurling at them from all angles. Yet, they demonstrate a profound ability to switch gears and remain composed, much like donning various hats seamlessly.   The Art of Compartmentalization: The ability to context switch is not just a survival mechanism—it's an art form that many successful people practice. They can leave a heated discussion or family dispute and shift immediately into a productive business mindset. This skill may appear almost sociopathic, but it is, in essence, a testament to their emotional intelligence and maturity.   Leadership Through Empathy and Understanding: If you're somebody with high empathy, crafting this balance can feel unethical or even inauthentic. Yet, to thrive in today's competitive world, understanding how to control your emotional outputs is crucial. Even though our ancestors relied on tribal support to process their emotional experiences, today's society demands a different strategy—one where emotions are acknowledged but not allowed to disrupt business.   The Role of Perspective and Gratitude: At the core of this practice is a profound sense of gratitude and the recognition that we are all standing on the shoulders of those who came before us. The opportunities we have today are built on the back of countless sacrifices and innovations of our forebears. This awareness can be a powerful motivator, inspiring us to rise above our emotional turbulence and seize the opportunities available to us.     Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:

Here's the revised summary with the name corrected: Podcast Episode #138: "The Big Domino" Host: Damion Lupo In this episode of Financial Underdogs, Damion Lupo explores the concept of the "big domino"—the pivotal choice or action that sets off a chain reaction to transform your life. Reflecting on his own journey, Damion shares practical strategies to identify and leverage your big domino for a more intentional and impactful life. Key Takeaways: Identify Your Big Domino: Recognize the one decision or habit that can trigger profound change. For Damion, giving up alcohol in 2024 was the domino that set his transformation in motion. The Power of a Coach or Mentor: Invest in a world-class coach, mentor, or therapist who provides honest feedback and helps you see blind spots. This is a vital relationship for growth and clarity—potentially more significant than many others in your life. Clean Fuel, Clean Life: Prioritize clean eating and minimize harmful substances like alcohol and processed foods. What you consume impacts your energy, focus, and overall health. Leverage a World-Class Integrator: Hire an executive assistant or integrator to handle tasks and free up your mental energy for strategic thinking. Offloading tasks allows you to focus on vision and creativity rather than logistics. Set Boundaries to Protect Your Time and Energy: Create clear boundaries to guard against "vampires" who drain your time and energy. Value your time as your most prized possession and use it intentionally. Live by Design, Not Default: Be mindful of your choices and surroundings, consciously designing your life rather than reacting to others' agendas. Use tools, systems, and boundaries to stay focused on your goals and priorities. Damion closes the episode by encouraging listeners to embrace simplicity and clarity in 2025. By identifying and focusing on your big domino, you can unlock a domino effect of positive changes.

There is a saying in business that the money is in the list. Building your email list is an important piece to any business. EMAIL EVERY DAY Collecting names and email addresses of your clients and potential clients helps you grow your business in a big way. Your email list allows you communicate and build relationships with your potential clients. My podcast is a big piece of growing my email list. I regularly offer resources on this show that helps the list grow. For example, you can get 21 lead magnet ideas to help grow your email list at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/magnet. I then send an email to my list every day. It's designed to give them value on a regular basis. But it also keeps me top of mind. Even if recipients don't read every email, they at least see my name in their inbox even if it is only to delete the email. By staying top of mind, when they need podcast answers, they think of me. In the book They Ask You Answer by Marcus Sheridan, he shares research about consumer habits. The study shows that consumers have typically finished up to 70% of their research before ever contacting a company. Therefore, if you are waiting until your potential client reaches out before you start building the rapport and relationship, you are waiting too long. They are already close to making the decision. Legendary marketer Dan Kennedy says, "Build the list – sell to the list". I most always include an offer of some sort in my email. OFFERS IN YOUR EMAIL Sometimes my offer is to work with me. Other times I promote partners. There are times when I simply offer more content and other resources. Most every email asks the reader to take action. And it works over time. In my email, I often invite readers to contact me for a podcast strategy session. This is an hour of coaching with me to develop your strategy. You can see those details at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/apply. During the call, we talk about your goals. We figure out where you are now. Then, we build a bridge to reach your goals. On every call, I ask the person how they discovered me. And I get a variety of answers. Rapport takes time. IT TAKES TIME One day, Mary Elaine signed up for a call. When we got on the Zoom call, I started by asking her how she discovered me. Mary Elaine told me she had been on my list for years. She didn't know how she got on the list and couldn't even remember how long it had been. After reading my email for years, she decided now was the time to take action. I helped Mary Elaine launch her podcast. She was also a coaching and production client for years. Katina was another entrepreneur who reached out for a podcast strategy call. The call started by asking her how she discovered me. She told me she had been listening to this podcast for 18 months. It was finally time to get on a call. There have also been clients who signed up after listening to two episodes. Dr. Paul and I got on a strategy call. He told me after listening to a couple episodes he knew he needed to get on a call with me. You never know how long it will take to get a lead to take action. People make decisions at different paces. Some act quickly. Some are slow and methodical. That's the importance of the list. Communicate often. Provide lots of value. Then, make the offer to work with you to go deeper. Build the list. Sell to the list. BUILD YOUR LIST So, how do you build your email list? There are many ways. Today, we talk with Sheila Davis, a Marketing Strategy, Communication, and Content Development Coach. Sheila helps identify your ideal customer and message so you can build a relationship with them and serve them. She has over 30 years of experience in marketing, including serving as the marketing manager of 48 Days To the Work and Life You Love.

Join Doug as he interviews Darcy Juarez, the behind-the-scenes force of major marketing campaigns and co-author of Dan Kennedy's latest book. With over 20 years of experience, Darcy breaks down complex marketing concepts into digestible, actionable steps. She reveals the secrets of effective direct marketing, sharing insights on automation, customer psychology, and building sustainable marketing systems. KEY TAKEAWAYS Darcy emphasises that marketing success relies on understanding three fundamental elements: identifying the right market, crafting the right message, and choosing the right media channels where your audience pays attention. Darcy advocates for implementing just one marketing system per month, allowing businesses to build 12 effective systems over a year without becoming overwhelmed. Through her decades of experience, she has observed that people respond more strongly to pain avoidance than pleasure seeking. This is a crucial insight she uses to shape marketing messages. Marketing success can be broken down into a four-step process: getting the message delivered, opened, read, and responded to - teaching that failure at any step means overall failure. Focus on principles rather than tactics; principles remain constant while tactics evolve with technology. Through her strategic consulting, Darcy helps businesses identify customers who have both the ability and willingness to buy, two distinct qualities she's found must exist together for success. Removing routine tasks frees up mental energy, allowing business owners to focus on growth and strategy rather than repetitive work. Based on her extensive marketing experience, Darcy reveals that providing clear instructions is crucial - she's found that removing assumptions can double business response rates. BEST MOMENTS "We as small business owners can't even spend a fraction of that to try and get in front of everybody. So we're so much better off figuring out exactly who we are for." "You get to decide your business is your business. You get to decide every business does not have to be the same way."

Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with Simon Devlin, a brilliant entrepreneur from Australia who's mastered the art of blending offline and online business strategies. Simon runs a unique cigar business that combines the exclusivity of private clubs with powerful marketing principles. What makes Simon's journey remarkable is how he has applied continuity, ascension models, and direct-response marketing to transform a traditional retail business into a thriving membership-based community. In this episode of the Marketing Secrets podcast, we explored how Simon started with a small cigar shop and grew it into a luxurious experience with tiered memberships, private lounges, and engaging customer interactions. From his early inspiration through Dan Kennedy's teachings to building a systemized return path, Simon shares strategies that any entrepreneur can adapt—whether their business is online or offline. His approach to creating an unforgettable customer experience while driving retention and loyalty offers lessons that are both practical and profound. Key Highlights: Building a “return path” to ensure customers keep coming back, even in traditional retail. Transitioning from offering products to creating membership offers with unique perks. The power of hiring for the “service gene” to deliver exceptional customer experiences. How a cigar business grew continuity with engaging ascension models, from lockers to luxury experiences. Applying these offline strategies to online businesses, including creating personalized “lifetime value calls.” This episode is packed with actionable advice for anyone looking to build a lasting connection with their audience and drive consistent revenue.
