With other people's shows, there's already an audience baked in there ready to go.”"I think the beauty of podcasting is that they can listen to it on their time.”“(Most customers) do all their homework online first.

Join me on the Fast Track to Grant Writer: www.teresahuff.com/vip The Link Between Competition and a Scarcity Mindset Competition is at the heart of every grant application, and a scarcity mindset can come from a position of competition. Many nonprofits work on a very limited budget, so the struggle with a scarcity mindset is common. After all, you wouldn't be applying for grants if you already had the money, right? Nonprofits applying for the same grant are likely providing parallel services to a similar demographic, so the unfortunate reality is that organizations fighting for the same cause are competing with one another for funds and therefore, feeding the sector-wide scarcity mindset.  In today's podcast, retired Army Colonel Dr. Vincent Lindenmeyer helps us think creatively to work collaboratively with otherwise competing organizations so both teams can overcome the scarcity mindset and get more done. What Collaboration and Grant Funding Look Like Together During his 26 years in the US Army, Vince specialized in engineering, logistics management, and strategic studies, so he knows what creative collaboration looks like. He now applies his knowledge and experience to the nonprofit sector. As principal of Beacon 4sight Group, Vince helps women, veterans, minorities, persons with disabilities, and the formerly incarcerated start nonprofits and businesses to create economic growth for equality and justice. Many of Vince's clients begin with little more than a dream, but he helps them get their nonprofit started in 90 days. He knows the power of creative collaboration to overcome scarcity. Like-minded organizations need to share resources, time, and talent to create in-kind partnerships based on trading complimentary skills and backgrounds. 7 Empowering Benefits of Working Collaboratively Wonderful things can happen when organizations work together: Extra personnel Everyone gets more done when you have more hands on deck working toward the same goals. Share tips and tricks Share knowledge to solve problems and work more efficiently. Stronger bottom line Struggling nonprofits become stronger by giving and receiving resources and expertise. Larger network Collaboration breeds collaboration, so when you partner with an organization, you will also get to work with their connections. Stay in your lane Collaboration means sharing complementary skills to boost each other's weaknesses so you can focus on your strengths. Increased visibility and community awareness When you get more done together, both organizations get a piece of the spotlight to bring awareness to both your cause and your brand. Celebrate your wins together Collaboration means having more to celebrate and more people to celebrate with! If we truly want to make things better and improve our mission, then we have to cooperate. It's not about us. It's not about the scarcity. It's so much more. We have to work together. We have to ask ourselves how we can give back to the community and improve each other's mission, whether or not it comes back directly to us.

I'm in the middle of rebranding my business. There are so many things I can do, so many things I want to do, yet I also want my brand positioning to be clear and attractive. I want others to love my brand as much as I do. As I'm working on this, I see a cartoon by Gaping Void that says, “Don't be the best in the world at what you do. Be the only person in the world at what you do.” Seeing that makes everything click. I think, “Yes! That describes my work which is unique in so many ways.” I already kind of am the only person doing what I do. And I really want to highlight that… but I need help. So my husband Mark, who I've grabbed in my excitement, says to me, “We gotta talk to Peter. This is his zone of genius.” That first conversation with Peter changes everything. What he does is revolutionary in so many ways. And I've brought him onto the show today to discuss exactly what it is that he does and how he helps redefine business. If you want to know: What is category design, how does it help you understand your audience better, and what is the most common challenge when people start approaching business with this new way of thinking? How do you use it to attract potential customers or clients? And how did a customer survey company use category design and find itself worth several billion dollars more than competitors like Survey Monkey? Get a pen and your replay button ready because this episode is chock full of priceless lessons you'll want to listen to again and again!  What you will learn in this episode: How to rethink your business positioning and make it unique How POV storytelling in marketing messages differs from conventional marketing How to use category design to spark intrigue in your business Who is Peter? As a graduate of Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, Peter Goldie has spent the past decade as an angel investor and used his knack for creating and launching market-dominating products to advise on business, strategy, and marketing. He honed his marketing expertise while in Brand Management at Procter & Gamble where he built revenue for brands such as Crisco, Pringles, and Ivory. Now his firm advises companies on the emerging concept of category design for business. In addition, Peter founded two startups and has held several operational roles at different companies over the years. He served as GM and SVP at the top digital e-commerce agency Fluid and was the GM and VP at Macromedia where he helped make Flash the most distributed software worldwide. He also took on the position of GM at Alias/Wavefront where he assisted in the creation of the Computer-Aided Industrial Design (CAID) category and the launching of the world's leading 3D animation product, Maya (which won an Oscar for scientific and technical achievement).

Jackie Brennan spent over 30 years building a career in the construction industry. She was dedicated, career focused and ambitious and worked her way up to become a senior leader. But after returning from an overseas contract, she decided to take a rare short break before the next one. Something happened in that time at home that turned her view of her life upside down.  Despite having every intention to return, after her revelation she found that she couldn't bring herself to do it, and that short pause turned into a permanent break from a corporate job. It also forged a new purpose for her, and a complete change in direction. Today, Jackie uses her experience and her skills in complementary therapies to share a new perspective on mental wellbeing.  Through her speaking and coaching she challenges conventional thinking, and sets out a different approach for individuals and organisations. One that will enable them to avoid the traps of burnout and poor mental health and secure all the benefits of sustainable high performance. Enjoy! What you'll discover: How Jackie discovered she was burnt out. The unconscious baggage that we carry that can influence our lives and create our biggest regrets.  Why the conventional way of tackling burnout and mental wellbeing is not working.  The obstacles Jackie is having to overcome in sharing her message? The huge benefits for individuals and organisations in tackling burn out differently. Three big tips for creating a sustainable, high performance culture.

In the conversation, I spoke to Lydia Jones, the founder of Housemates (www.housemates.io); a platform that streamlines the whole process of booking student accommodation for both landlords and students. Having dropped out of school at the age of 15 to recently securing £100,000 in funding for her start-up at just 21, we talk about the process behind this along with other lessons she has learnt on her serial entrepreneur journey starting from selling turkeys in Manchester at age 12.

His wins and fails in his life have shaped him to be the amazing entrepreneur he is today. He is RAW and unfiltered, calls it as it is and in simple, why fit in? when you can stand out! Tune in to this awesome episode. Let's dive in!   The episode provided by: The Rich Life Academy For more information please visit TheRichLifeAcademy.com   Christopher Lochhead is a rockstar in business, an entrepreneur, advisor/investor to over 50 venture-backed startups, is a venture capital limited partner and a former three-time Silicon Valley public company CMO, owns the Legends and Losers Podcast which is one of the top business podcasts in the world right now, and is a “Top 30” rated Podcaster.   He's also a #1 Best Selling Amazon Author, and co-author of two bestsellers: Niche Down: How To Become Legendary By Being Different, and Play Bigger: How Pirates, Dreamers, and Innovators Create and Dominate Markets. He's been called “one of the best minds in marketing” by The Marketing Journal, a “Human Exclamation Point” by Fast Company, a “quasar” by NBA legend Bill Walton and “Off-putting to some” by The Economist. In this episode of Millionaire Mindcast Podcast, a powerful guest, Christopher Lochhead who shares things that he executed in order to reach and live a rich life that you can pick and applies to yours. Christopher grew up in a family where a lack of money was always present. At 17-years-old, he decided to do something meaningful with his life. Inspired by what he called the ‘angel of his life' his Grandfather, who truly believed him, supports, inspires and motivates him that he can do anything and be anything. He decided to be successful, decided to be smart, and really wanted to do legendary things. Chris put himself in those positions to be successful and let himself learned, grew, and took a massive risk. As a result, Chris and his brother Jack started their company with no money, no experience, no education, no relationships of any kind. There's been a lot of losses along the way. His whole career was just about trying to build companies and categories, in some cases loss and some cases win. He had been in those places of humiliation many times, lost money, been fired for so many times, but learned from those losses and moved forward. On the other side, he gained the most important things, the joy, experiences, memories, relationships, and the network. In 10 years, he got a tremendous amount of accomplishment. At 28-years-old, he became a millionaire. He does great things and wins with over $400 billion exits. Now, end up with having a life that's fun, and interesting. He's in the fun part of life that he never really thought about which is helping other people getting their goals and learning at the same time with his podcast. Chris focused on having a good time and hopefully make a very big difference. He's an entrepreneur trying to do something exponentially different as opposed to incrementally better. To Chris, it's important to set goals, it doesn't matter if you achieved them, it's about who you become in the process. He trained himself to be a better person, a person that you can count on, somebody who produce results. He chose to be that guy because we have that option in everything. Also, work hard and believe in yourself. When you fail, get up and try again. Confidence comes from training yourself to produce legendary results. It doesn't come from the people's encouragement but proving to yourself that you can do it.

Whenever you go out and get earned media, you're going to get people's attention in an authentic way unlike the banner ads and pay-per-click ads that are constantly distracting us and disrupting our day around us. We go right to the content.   Welcome to The New Leader Podcast! Today on the show we will be talking about the importance of great PR as leaders with one of the world's top experts in earned media and PR, Adrian Salamunovic. Adrian is the co-founder of CanvasPop and DNA11, as well as the co-author of FREE PR: How to Get Chased by the Press Without Hiring a PR Firm. In this episode we talk about his book, his two tips on how to fast-track your career and personal growth, owned, paid and earned media, hiring a coach versus finding a mentor, empathy and authenticity. I hope you enjoy this episode, and don't forget to subscribe and rate us on iTunes!   Self-awareness I think being self-aware and knowing where your strengths are and where your strengths aren't is probably the biggest barrier for any manager or entrepreneur. In my case, I made the decision early on to bring in a business partner on my last couple of ventures. He had a background, or at least a desire to be a leader as far as managing people. Then we hired a CLO, and then we hired a CFO and so on and so forth. I think being a great leader is knowing where your strengths and weaknesses are, and then finding people to fill in those weaknesses. The Benefits of Earned Media We're in an attention economy, there's no doubt about it. Attention is worth more than it ever has been, and the reason is, there's more noise than ever before. There's information coming at us in every direction. Knowing how to work with earned media gives you a superpower, which allows you to cut through that noise in an authentic way like we're doing right now. You and I are having a conversation, and people who are listening to this podcast have chosen to listen to this podcast. We're not actually having this conversation between you and I; we're having a conversation between us and a few thousand other people. That's powerful. And it's not advertising. Finding a mentor There's two ways to do it. The first one is really fascinating, and a bit of a plug for Clarity.fm. I'm not only a huge user, but I've used the platform to find people whenever I need just a few minutes or half an hour of advice or coaching. No matter what you're looking for, you can find it there. I happen to be one of the top-rated people on that platform today. It has about 75,000 members. You can just go in, and if you need help with SEO, there's an expert for that. If you need HR advice, there's an expert for that. If you need PR advice, there's me. The second way is using LinkedIn. It is a little bit more difficult because whenever you're cold-pitching people, “Will you be my mentor?” That's not going to work. Usually, I will reach out on LinkedIn, establish a relationship with a person, and bring value to them first – whether it's by sharing information I think they should know about, or buying their product and becoming a customer. Instead of asking, giving. It's hard to say no to a LinkedIn request if someone's your client or they're using your product, for example. It's hard to say no to somebody if they're a fan – they really love what you're doing, or if they're referring people to you. And then later you can put them on your podcast, and then they get to know you, and then you an approach them later on. Build value first. LinkedIn and Clarity are the two fastest ways where you can find the right mentor.

One of the most popular pieces of advice in the entrepreneurial world is to hustle, hustle, hustle – what our guest Christopher Lochhead describes as “one of the dumbest pieces of advice of all time” – to reach a place of financial freedom and then coast.   This paradigm, then, is working hard now for the ultimate goal of not working... but I don't think that's really being an entrepreneur. That's just making money.   And Christopher Lochhead – a retired three-time CMO, the co-author of both Play Bigger and Niche Down, and the host of https://legendsandlosers.com/ (Legends & Losers) – knows a thing or two about being an entrepreneur.   Many of the leading “entrepreneurs” will teach us that success is having the freedom to sit on a beach drinking mai tais all day, but the unfortunate reality is that a lot of people are just trading comfort for aliveness.   Now, don't get me wrong. Drinking mai tais on a beach can be a lot of fun (although I'd prefer a whiskey) – but there comes a time when doing nothing, or “trolling around in your net worth,” as Christopher describes it, is just boring.   And on a more existential level, that kind of comfort doesn't come with a purpose or real fulfillment – because “who we are is a direct function of the difference that we make.”   The mistake almost everybody makes is that they get fooled into believing that the pathway to success is fitting in.   When in reality, “it's the people who are different that make the difference” – and that's true in entrepreneurship and in life.   Legendary entrepreneurs are known for the niche that they own, not their product or service. That comes later.   Too many entrepreneurs make the mistake of trying to compete with their product or company, so don't make the same mistake – making the biggest difference comes down to being the most different.   --   Resources: Learn more at https://www.lochhead.com/ (lochhead.com) Listen to Christopher's podcast: https://legendsandlosers.com/ (Legends & Losers) Connect with Christopher: Twitter | LinkedIn Read: Niche Down: How To Become Legendary By Being Different Read: Play Bigger: Play Bigger: How Pirates, Dreamers, and Innovators Create and Dominate Markets   --   We are brought to you by the Lawton Marketing Group, a full-service advertising and design agency serving companies and entrepreneurs at all levels.
