In this episode of Aww Shift Podcast, we have invited Trey Taylor, CEO of Taylor Insurance Services, Managing Director of trinity | blue, Consulting & Founding Partner of Ascend Partners, Keynote Speaker, and Author of the book “A CEO Only Does Three Things: Finding Your Focus in the C-Suite.” Trey believes that most CEO focuses only on leadership—but he says otherwise. Today, Trey talks about the three things CEOs of the modern world should focus on to succeed in their business and life endeavors.  [04:34] Why should we listen to you? You will listen to me because I will ask your questions to find out who you are. I believe that we are all created in three different dimensions – intellectual, emotional, and identity “I AM” dimensions. Those three dimensions are the things I will dissect to see what's within you. [14:38] 1st Focus: Culture Culture is the ethical environment in which you live, work, and play. The amalgamation of agreements between you and your employees makes in governing your interactions with each other. Culture is the values that you share and express with the people. [17:41] Everyone has a culture, whether intentional or not. Most CEOs have their eyebrows raised when I talk to them about this. And often, they would realize how culture is an important factor in their businesses.  [18:50] 2nd Focus: People How do you find the right people, get them on board, and keep them? Sometimes, having the right culture means having a different slate of people, and it becomes a really hard thing for CEOs to do. Ensure that you have a robust recruitment and retention process to keep the right people at your grasp.  [22:34] 3rd Focus: Numbers The job of the CEO is to set the agenda. Ensure what you are tracking and achieving according to the things you are important in the business, achieving them with the right people, and being transparent with them.  [26:50] What promise did God make to the world when He created you? I have a purpose statement of helping people see the greatness of them and live with it together with their families. Key Quotes: [06:29 – 06:39] “Our job as a listen is not to make people feel heard. That is only the byproduct. What we do is having the active work of understanding them as a person and how they fit in the universe.” [19:09 – 19:14] “Sometimes, there's people in your life that maybe you didn't seek out but they are there anyway.”   Learn more about Trey Taylor: Website: Executive Coaching | – TRINITY BLUE (trinity-blue.com) LinkedIn: Trey Taylor, J.D. | LinkedIn Twitter: Trey Taylor (@TreyTaylorCEO) / Twitter Facebook: Trey Taylor - Home | Facebook Instagram: Trey Taylor (@ceotreytaylor) • Instagram photos and videos Buy his book on Amazon: Amazon.com: A CEO Only Does Three Things: Finding Your Focus in the C-Suite eBook: Taylor, Trey: Kindle Store

This Podcast Is Episode Number 447, And It's About Why Getting The Leads And Doing The Work Are Still Not Good Enough There was a time when a contractor put a simple ad in the paper or a line listing in the Yellow Pages, and they would have more leads than they could handle. It was the only way to go, and the contractors who insist on that and "Word of Mouth" do not survive.   Could those contractors have avoided failure?   I believe they could have. This article explores the top reasons construction businesses fail and the three key questions that every contractor like you needs to ask to prevent failure. It would be best to answer these questions to provide a clear path to your continued and future growth and success.    Contractors who did not move from simple ads that had always worked, and evolved a Marketing Plan made the same mistake other failed companies and brands made. They were unable to Innovate, Reinvent, and Evolve by having a deep understanding of what business they were in, who and what they were competing with, and by challenging themselves to understand their actual expertise.   It's important to plan to give your construction business the best chances for success. Planning means anticipating challenges and developing ways to successfully address them, so they don't upend your construction company.  Here are the top reasons why your construction company could still fail: Lack of market demand  You need to have a market to make money. That means there needs to be enough people who need your service and are willing to pay money to hire you. Without that, you won't be able to cover your costs or earn enough to survive. Before you spend your time, money, and energy starting a business, make sure there's a need for it.  Some ways you can identify needs: Look for competition. If no one else is offering the service, there's a chance there's no market for it. That might not initially stop you from moving forward, but if no one already offers your product or service—or anything close to it—you'll have to do more to prove there's a market. Conduct market research. Studies and interviews help determine whether people in your target market agree with you that there is a need for your offering and that they would pay for it.  Lack of expertise Contractors like you might be tempted to partner with or hire their friends or family—people they genuinely like and would work well with. That doesn't always translate to success, however. For your business to be successful, you need specific expertise, and you need people whose skills complement yours.  You also need people who are willing to discuss your decisions with you and make sure there's a business case to be made for each decision you make. Someone with a differing perspective provides a vital way to double-check whether your choices are best in the long-term for your business or whether other options are available.  Ensure you hire people with balanced competencies. If your roofing business involves installing solar panels, you might need a technical expert to ensure the technology runs smoothly. You'll likely also need a financial expert to help you with bookkeeping and possibly a manager to oversee employees. It's OK to hire people you like, but make sure your team also has the skills to attend your business successfully.  Lack of finances You need money to produce your services and ensure all employees are paid. It's not enough to know how much money you need month-to-month; you need to forecast your development cycle, how inventory moves through your supply chain and variations in seasonal income.  If your construction business doesn't earn as much in the first few months as you predicted, you'll need to bring in more money quickly to save your business.  Ask Yourself: What are you offering? New construction, remodeling, or service and repair? Who is your competition? DIY, other contractors, money homeowners for a construction project? What is your real competency? Residential, Commercial, or both? The Truth Is Four Levels Deep! Challenging yourself is the key to answering these questions. Write your answers on paper or computer, sleep on them and then revisit them again and again until you get to the truth. Getting The Leads And Doing The Work Is Only Part Of The Answer Not answering them and acting on the knowledge is one reason why so many construction companies shrivel and die. They focus on the wrong areas to innovate or improve. They focus on the wrong enemy and threat. As a result, they miss what they could be doing to succeed and prosper over time. Define The Type Of Contracting You Offer And Who Is Your Competition It may not be the same form, structure, and category that you operate. For example, Home Depot does not see itself competing in the building supply business but for a share of the home and commercial remodel and repair market. Be that homeowner doing a weekend project, Handyman Contractors, Remodel Contractor, Trade Contractor, and other contractors and House Builders. This approach and behavior across the organization, too, saw themselves as fighting for a share of the building supply market. Final thoughts It is straightforward to get caught up in the short term and what you have today. You measure your share in the particular segment you operate in and obsess about your immediate competition just as contractors who did not market effectively did years ago. But you need to step back and ask yourself the three key questions and make sure you answer them in a way that will define and liberate your construction company at the same time. Also, keep in mind that you can significantly improve your odds of success by planning, being strategic with who you hire, ensuring there's a market for your offerings, and considering alternative funding sources.  P.S.

    Don't get caught going into 2022 flat footed.  Here are 3 tactics to lead you to success. .     Hello and welcome to JP Moery's Association Hustle Podcast. Founder of The Moery Company, JP's mission is to arm today's associations with insight and strategy to thrive and a progressively complex and competitive business landscape. 21st century associations must move forward with a little bit of hustle and revenue development at their core. Here's JP. The first quarter is absolutely foundational to a good year.  How do you close out? How do you tee yourself up? I've got some ideas. First, close up your existing pipeline. Deals need to go up, they need to go out, and they need to get off your plate.  I want as few outstanding deals leaking into next year, because they take up time and they take up energy. Second, I want prospect my ass off through January the first. Prospecting Stages: keep in mind that every sale needs to go through several stages. Awareness: do they know who you are? Familiarity: are they familiar with what you do? What are the services and benefits that you provide? Consideration: are they considering working with you based on their awareness, the familiarity with what you have to offer? Offer: then they move into the offer? Are they going to look at an offer from this company Action/Decision: yes or no? Third, I want to mention planning.  Put together key portions of your 2022 plan.  Scheduled it. Where, when, what the key themes are, etc.  You want to be executing on January 4, not fixing to get ready. Prospect, plan, and close out the pipeline.  These are the best ways to succeed for next year, which are very much dependent on how you end this year. I wish you the very best. Thank you for listening. I can't wait to chat with you again next week on the Association Hustle.   We hope you enjoyed this edition of JP Moery's Association Hustle Podcast.

I'm thrilled to hold the first copies of Hustlers & Seekers in my hands. And guess what? This book is designed to do the *one* thing I've never seen done in the world of personal growth, to help you merge both parts of yourself: The ambitious dreamer, the relentless spirit who shows up and never takes “no” for an answer —going all in on themselves. (We'll use ‘Hustling' to describe this energy.) The insatiable seeker, the person on a quest for meaning, for inquiry, to know what this life is *really* about —and find the truth. (We'll use ‘Seeking' to describe this energy.) In other words: You're meant to be both. You're meant to harness both. You're meant to integrate both.

Vibrational Manifestation Masterclass Read the full blog post here: https://beyondhomosapien.com/vibrational-manifestation/ Join the new LinkedIn Group here: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12587565/ Have you experienced a miraculous vibrational manifestation? These events can change our understanding of reality. Keep reading to learn more about this phenomena that is awakening our world to a new dawn for the species. Vibrational manifestation is the phenomena of creating or attracting physical objects, people, or things (house, car, etc.) through the changing of the vibrational frequency coming from your body. Here's a secret known by the ancient mystery schools of all the ages: There is a vibrational frequency that pulsates from your body and extends in all directions. This auric field encapsulates your physical body and projects a wave that impacts and affects your environment. The pulsation of this wavelength is what assists in the generation of your world by manifesting out what you are experiencing within yourself. Everything you experience is your own consciousness pushed out. When you first learn about this concept, it provokes skepticism. However, as you experience and practice with the idea of reality creation, your skepticism will be replaced with an almost evangelic belief. We are all connected as one being experiencing the world through billions of different perspectives. Although we might view from separate vantage points, there is a source within us that stays connected to the divine whole. When you change or influence the vibrational pulse coming from your body, you altar the manifestation that you experience. This creates changes in your physical reality in accordance with the mental images and instructions you have attached to your vibrational frequency. Vibrational manifestation in a nutshell: you program the vibrational pulse coming from your body to deliver certain results, in accordance with your divine will. By doing so, you create your reality. When you do this, you become the active creator of your life. Although you have always been experiencing life, you have been the passive creator. Life has seemed like a wave of experiences that wash over and leave you always reacting. By awakening to your true nature, you grab the “scepter of power” wrote about in the Kybalion and you ascend into a higher plane of correspondence. By doing so, you become the “cause” in your world instead of always being “affected”. When you realize your full potential and use your willpower to amplify the frequency projected from your body, you become co-creator with the mind of the universe. As said by Manly P. Hall, you begin to “think with the mind of god”. Dangers Of Vibrational Manifestation Vibrational manifestation carries with it a hefty responsibility: you must do no harm and violate no one's consent. If your actions, thoughts, and intentions are evil and self-serving, they will have an evil impact on the world. This mis-use of the vibrational currents will result in a karmic backlash on yourself ten-times that of what you projected to the outside. When you abuse the consent of others, you desecrate the sacred temples and reject yourself from the company of the immortals. To safeguard against accidental harmful (or “left hand”) magick, do the following when you are planning a vibrational manifestation: 1. Ask yourself “are my actions in alignment with the completion of the Great Work?”… In other words, are your actions serving to awaken others to their true potential? Are your actions selfless and in the service of others or are you being self-serving alone? Sometimes, you might be operating in the grey where your actions are in service of others but you are also a benefactor. In these situations, ask yourself if anyone is being harmed or if there is a violation of consent. Are you giving more than you take? Do you lead with action or do you wait on others to serve you? How are you showing up in the grey? This makes all the difference. There is balance in the universe and equilibrium between the poles of good and evil must be maintained. Your intentions are what matter. Your right intent must lead to right action. Do you intend to do good and serve your community? If so, it is fine if you are paid for your work. In fact, you must be paid for your work to ensure an even energetic exchange. When you refuse payment, you cut-off your ability to receive and further amplify your vibrational manifestation. There is room in the grey but you must be careful to ensure you always give more than you take. Do this and you will be on the victorious side of good and triumph over adversity. 2. Will your actions result in the harming of anyone or the violating of anyone's consent? In general, if you are involving other people in your manifestation work, you must have their consent. If you and I were going to engage in a magical ceremony together, you would want to know the details prior to beginning… Consider the same for those involved in your manifestations. Ensure that they are aware of what you are doing, who you are doing it with, and the intent with which you do it. Are you working with an intelligence outside of someone's perception? If you involve this intelligence and the individual both in your manifestation, you must tell them. Consent increases the strength of the manifestation because it allows the flow of energy between individuals to go unrestrained. If consent is violated, it blocks everything like a dam until it is no longer sustainable. If your actions could cause harm, do not continue. In fact, when programming the energy coming from your body, instruct it to do no harm and thank it for keeping everyone safe as it works. By doing so, you give yourself an insurance policy against any accidental harmful magic. One of the best “prayers” is a prayer of thanks. Instead of demanding god and the spiritual forces of the universe do “do your will”, THANK them for already having completed the work necessary for you to continue the Great Work and thank them for doing so in a way that works out for everyone's good and keeps everyone safe. Focusing on gratitude while making this prayer and feeling it fulfilled will change your life. 3. Check in with your higher self. Have you checked in with yourself and made yourself certain that what you are doing is in alignment with the divine will for your life? In other words, ensure that your vibrational manifestation is what you want to happen in your life. For example, if you are working to manifest more money, check-in to ensure that this will help you achieve your goals. Most of us think we know what we want but receive an unpleasant surprise when it arrives. Have you ever heard “be careful what you wish for?” The same is true for manifestation. Before you put your sacred spiritual energy into the manifestation of an endeavor, check in with your higher self and ensure you are in alignment with your own will. Want a guided meditation to connect you with your higher self? Listen to this episode of the Beyond Homo Sapien podcast. You can download this meditation by clicking here and entering your information when prompted. This guided meditation will help you ensure that your manifestation work is in alignment with the divine will and plan for your life. When you are before the image of your higher self, ask it for guidance and pay attention to what pops into your mind. If you follow these three steps, you will avoid any harmful counter-effects of your manifestation. Another tool to increase the power of your vibrational manifestation is the Tarot. Prior to undertaking a manifestation, consult the Tarot cards about what you are working to manifest. By doing so, you can check-in with yourself and bring any feelings about this manifestation to the fore-front. Want to learn more about the Tarot cards? Read this post. Your internal world creates your external world. The vibrational wavelength of energy projecting from your body generates your world in the same way a video game world is created and “loaded” when you plug-in the Xbox and insert Halo into the disc drive. It is a process of creation that corresponds with how our reality is generated through the emanation of source. Our universe is a great mind that extends infinitely through time and space. This mind has been called “god”, “the universe”, Jehovah, Brahma, and a host of different names since the dawn of time. However, all these names serve to make an attempt at defining the same thing: the All. The great being in which we all swim and which composes us in the same way that Tolkien creates Frodo Baggins.

“You're so disciplined, Tommy —if I had that, then I would launch the business, take the bold step, get in the best shape…” Oh, no...while I appreciate the triple scoop Hot Fudge sundae to my ego when you utter those words —here's the truth: Discipline is *easy* when you've amplified your desire: Where it becomes a no brainer. Where it becomes a daily habit. Where it becomes a non-negotiable. In other words: When you want it badly enough. When you want it with every fiber of your being. When you want it more than you want to breathe. Then you'll show up every single day —regardless of thoughts, feelings, moods, emotions and what Cardi B said on Twitter.

This Podcast Is Episode Number 446, And It's About Practical Tips For Encouraging Repeat High-Profit Clients Many data support the idea that it's less costly, easier, and more efficient to encourage repeat customers than bring in new ones. Among the stats Hubspot lists are: that a 5% increase in customer retention is responsible for more than 25% increase in profit; repeat customers are nine times more likely to convert than first-time visitors, and a 2% increase in customer retention has a similar impact to your bottom line as reducing costs by 10%. Understand The High-Profit Client - Most of them have personality traits commonly known as drivers - folks who are accustomed to getting things done quickly and efficiently. They do not mind paying professionals to service, repair, or build new construction projects related to their houses and commercial buildings. Design and develop your internal customized systems and processes when and where it makes sense. As much as possible, when it is cheaper to buy something ready-made for a fraction of what it costs you to do-it-yourself then buy it.  Systems, Systems, Systems - You need systems (a system is simply a collection of processes built upon an understanding of what works and each method has been tried and tested). Without systems or a desire to "wing it" and see what happens will bring out the animal in these people, and they have been known to cause construction business a great deal of harm and financial pain. First, Design External Systems For the money trail (contract amount, deposits, change orders, payments) For project milestones and projected completion dates (when change orders occur, update the completion date) Cause the least amount of grief and interruptions to their lives Ensure they make the fewest possible decisions (they make decisions all day long) To make sure nobody ever tries to "educate" them about construction (they don't care, that's why they hired you!) Then, follow along these four practical tips to encourage your high-profit clients to keep coming back.  1. Build relationships with clients Take time to learn more about your customers. Do they mention family members? Ask about their loved ones. Do they have particular concerns? For instance - too many cable cords around the house and they have small children. Keep track of their issues and be attentive to their needs. Recommend solutions that address their specific problems. Go the extra mile to show your customers they're important to you.  Ask for their input, as well. They'll get to know your products and services and offer insights into what's working and what could be improved. If you engage them--and make changes based on their feedback--you'll develop a loyal customer base. The more special your clients feel, the more likely they are to hire you again. They'll appreciate your thoughtfulness and value your service.  2. Make it personal Your loyal clients deserve communications that are more personal and less formal. Using impersonal emails for your more extensive email list is fine, but use more personal touches with your best customers.  Phone them or suggest an in-person meeting if you want to let them know about an essential business-related matter. Keep track of important dates, as well. You can send gifts or cards to mark important occasions or to reach out.  Make your best customers feel they stand out from the rest by being more personal with them.  3. Share relevant information Still, if you get to know your customers well, you can pass along articles, books, or other information that might interest them, even if it isn't related to your business. Newsletters are a great way to stay in touch with your customers and let them know what you're up to. It shows them you understand and you care.  4. Remember your loyal clients Businesses sometimes focus their attentions exclusively on new customers, forgetting about loyal and repeat customers. You need new customers to keep your business thriving; however, excluding long-term customers creates customer churn.  It's great to offer new customers rewards and incentives, but that leaves existing customers feeling ignored. Offer your long-term customers bonuses for their loyalty.  Final thoughts The Key Here Is To Get In And Get Out Fast - And they will love you for it! The high-profit client has more money than time, so more than most people; their time is worth a lot more to them than you can imagine. Encouraging repeat customers makes solid business sense. To be successful, you need a balance of new and long-term clients. This means building relationships with people, personalizing your attention, sharing relevant information, and remembering your loyal customers.  A great product or service at a reasonable price might bring your customers in, but outstanding customer service that gives them a positive, memorable experience will keep them coming back.  About The Author: Sharie DeHart, QPA, is the co-founder of Business Consulting And Accounting in Lynnwood, Washington.

If You Want to Take Back Control of Your Metabolic Health, You Should: Start monitoring your bodies reaction to foods through a CGM or other methodology Ensure that you are moving your muscles after eating to stabilize your glucose Focus on your dietary patterns and get back to basics to see the results you are searching for   One of the biggest root causes of hormone imbalance facing over 130 million Americans is metabolic dysfunction. Metabolic dysfunction can lead to insulin resistance, inflammation, and a host of other chronic illnesses that you may not even realize are linked to your metabolism. The good news is that with a few mindset and lifestyle changes, you can improve your metabolism, overall health, and long-term longevity.   Take Back Control of Your Metabolic Health Dr. Casey Means is a Stanford-trained physician, Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of the metabolic health company Levels, and Associate Editor of the Internation Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention. Dr. Casey works to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tech-enabled tools. Her philosophy combines smart, personalized, and sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices to help others take their metabolic health back into their own hands.   Looking at Your Metabolism Like Never Before Through her work at Levels, Dr. Casey and her team are able to access nutritional data in a way that has never been seen before. By getting to the bottom of which foods affect you and your glucose on a personal level, you can figure out what is best for you and your body.  Knowledge is power when it comes to a lot of things, especially when it comes to your metabolic and hormonal health. Foods you may think are healthy for you could actually be causing a significant glucose response, which is why it is important to equip yourself with the information to serve your body in the best way possible.   The Key to Longevity Is Your Metabolism As women, we need to be on top of our blood sugar more than anything. Your metabolism can impact everything from how you feel to how you age, which is why it is so crucial to identify your root causes and get them under control in order to increase your overall health and longevity. While your average doctor may not know about the importance of focusing on metabolic health, this episode is your sign to get down to the basics and focus on your daily patterns in order to preserve your health through all stages of life. Are you ready to focus on creating more resilience for your metabolism? Let me know which of Dr. Casey's tips resonated the most with you in the comments section of the episode page.   Quotes: “There is a mismatch between the effort and the outcomes, and I think a lot of that lies in the fact that we are eating these food products that we don't really know what they are doing to our bodies.” (15:01) “It is kind of this magical part of the body that can help you bring down your blood sugar all by itself. And that is why a walk, even though it is gentle, you are moving all these major muscle groups, the quads, the hamstrings, it all has to be activated.” (32:00) “We are flipping the switch from glucose burning to fat burning intentionally, and we are pushing our body to utilize its long-term storage, and we are mobilizing fat. And that is metabolic flexibility.” (35:54) “It is nothing crazy; it is nothing out of control; it is just timing things in a way that is going to optimize all aspects of my blood sugar but isn't taking more than cumulatively an hour during the day.” (41:14) “A lot of these things I think we can feel like it is totally out of our control or we have to go towards hormones or whatever it is to manage these things. So to at least know there is something, a knob we can turn, a lever we can pull, to at least in some way impact these things, I think that's pretty empowering in its own right.” (45:47)   In This Episode Why adopting a routine of monitoring your response to food is key to understanding your body (14:39) Learn about the Coca-Cola experiment and how it can help you blunt a blood sugar response (25:39) The role of muscle movement and strength training when it comes to metabolic health (32:10) How stabilizing your blood sugar levels can impact your hormones and symptoms overall (42:20) Tips for creating swaps for the things that you love that will leave you wanting more (54:12)   Resources Mentioned: Use Promo Code drmariza for 15% Off Your Organifi Order Here Join Levels Here Levels article about common dietary patterns for good health Levels Health Website Levels Health Blog Follow Dr. Casey on Instagram Follow Levels Health on Instagram   Other Resources: Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube Podcast production & marketing support by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes:  Essentially You Episode #236: The Truth About Metabolic Dysfunction and How To Address It Head-On with Dr. Casey Means Essentially You Episode #268: The Number One Hormone Imbalance Connected to Stubborn Weight Gain

In this episode, I talk about some of the myths and misperceptions people have about being on insurance panels. I delve into this topic and let you know what I've learned about it from my insurance-based practice. First, I speak about the stigma around accepting insurance in private practice. If you accept insurance, you are just as valid and can be just as successful as private practice owners who are cash-based. Tune in as talk about the pros and cons of insurance panels, why I chose to be insurance-based, and where to start when you decide to accept insurance. The Stigma Around Accepting Insurance In Private Practice Many people are curious about accepting insurance and if they should or not. There is no correct answer. If you start to delve into your mindset and think about it all, it might just be something that you should consider doing. When you look at all that is out there, there are so many great resources around building a private practice. It seems like most people are encouraging cash-pay. There seems to be a little bit of a stigma against having an insurance-based practice. Many people say that you don't want to be controlled by insurance companies. If therapists don't have a cash-based practice, they're second-class citizens for being an insurance-based practice. I don't agree with that at all! In fact, my success comes from being insurance-based. The Pros and Cons of Being An Insurance-Based Practice There are a lot of pros and cons to being on insurance panels. Certainly, one of the cons of being insurance-based is that you've got to have more systems and processes in place. You've got to do more work on the front end to get prepared for insurance. You need specific systems when you start accepting third-party payors and being reimbursed by insurance companies for your services. The biggest con is that there is some work on the front end of being insurance-based. The pros for being insurance-based are that you've got a built-in referral source by being on insurance panels. I would say at least half the people that we find are from their insurance. In other words, they checked with their insurance provider first to see who would accept their insurance in the area. When making an appointment with us, people ask, how much does it cost? Plus, they ask if we accept insurance. That's why I wanted to be an insurance-based practice. People depend on their insurance, and I want to help those people. Ready To Accept Insurance? What To Do First Where do you start? Research your area to find out which are which insurance panels are the most prevalent. In my area, most people have Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance. Another thing to research is looking at significant employers in the area. Then, check which insurance those companies use. Next, use that data to decide which insurance companies you want to be paneled with. Another thing to note is that when an insurance company offers you a contract, that's negotiable! Make sure to negotiate what rate you will accept. Systems and Processes Around Filing Insurance Claims Figure out your systems and your processes around filing insurance claims. If you're on insurance panels, you need a traditional way to send claims off. The best way I know to do that is through an electronic health record system. TherapyNotes helps my practice with this. It's a few clicks of a button to get your insurance claims sent to the insurance companies to be reimbursed. For the most part, insurance companies have a pretty quick turnaround for electronic health claim submissions. Within a week of sending off the claim, we are getting paid. There's a myth that you have to wait a long time to get paid from insurance companies – that's not true! So, make sure you have a way to submit claims and make it as automated as possible. Cash-Based and Insurance-Based Private Practices If you're not ready to be entirely reliant on insurance, there's a hybrid option! You can have a mix of cash-paying clients and clients that use insurance. Give people a choice on whether or not they want to pay for therapy through a third-party payor. Remember to set your full fee at a reasonable place; your fee needs to be your FULL fee. The insurance company will pay you what they pay you. Then, you write off the difference between the full fee and the contract rate. If they choose not to use insurance, you can offer a sliding scale based on family income. We don't go and check their income; instead, we go on the honor system. Ensure that the lowest rate on your sliding scale fee schedule is in the ballpark of your average reimbursement rate from insurance companies.

Whenever you meet somebody at a cocktail party, how do you introduce yourself and explain what you do in your coaching business? Do you tell people that you're someone who helps “people who are tired of thinking small and guide them into unleashing their fullest potential”? Or do you say you're a management consultant who “helps executives increase stakeholder engagement through increased inter-departmental synergy”? How would you feel if a complete stranger introduced themselves that way to you? Chances are, you'd feel very confused. And confusing people is the last thing coaches would want to do. So reserve those flowery words for your LinkedIn profile or the cover of your book and instead, offer your potential clients your Single Biggest Result.

I reveal critical errors beginner coaches make when they introduce themselves as a coach.

In today's episode, our guest is Simone Knego, author of the best-selling book, The Extraordinary UnOrdinary You, a wife and mother to six children, and an entrepreneur. She details her trial by adopting three of her six daughters, her climb on Mount Kilimanjaro, and all those amusing, frightening, and inspirational tales that have come along the way in her latest best-selling novel, The Extraordinary UnOrdinary You.

There are moments that everybody fights and disagrees, but you cherish the moment you have with them.  The most important part of marriage is the commitment to each other—as a family. [6:40] Splitting time to be successful For a long time, I struggled to get through things. But what I realized is that prioritization makes a difference. And the things that you don't finish today, they'll still be there tomorrow. [7:34] Developing Yourself I struggled for a long-time, seeing value in myself looking at what I was doing. Raising good humans is one of the most important things we can do. I didn't see it like that. I saw it as if I'm not making a difference at all. [10:22] Choices in Life I used to talk about myself negatively. I have a choice to be happy or miserable. I changed how I talk to myself and the things I say to others about myself.  I define success as happiness—it's a choice. [12:52] Experience from adopting kids I focus on not allowing her kids to be “an island.” You need to have open conversations with them about the world around us and let it and ask them to talk about how they feel and experiences they had and find you know their self-esteem being proud of who they are. Ensure that we had this conversation about seeing color—because that's part of who you are. [17:16] Sharing thoughts with kids Get them out there to talk about everything that you need to talk about. It is important to share stories because you can change someone's mind. You can change the world; you can genuinely and positively impact the people around you. [18:57] Triumph as a parent Being friendly and with empathy, our family is built on these aspects. We are all human. It's just the most important thing for me, and I want my children to be decent people and be raised as good people.   Key Quotes [8:10 - 8:14]  “The little things you do every day are to inspire other people.” [10:28 - 10:31]  “I have a choice to be happy, or I have a choice to make myself miserable.” [16:08 - 16:12]  “Seeing the world as a big place and wanting to venture out into the world to see more.” Connect with Simone Knego:  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simone-knego-7965701a3  Website: https://simoneknego.com 

Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Sales Enablement PRO podcast, I'm Shawnna Sumaoang. Sales enablement is a constantly evolving space, and we’re here to help professionals stay up to date on the latest trends and best practices so that they can be more effective in their jobs. Today, I’m excited to have Jeff Fedro from FedEx Office join us. Jeff, I would love for you to introduce yourself, your role, and your organization to our audience. Jeff Fedro: Very good. Well, I’m glad to be on the call. I have been with this great company for almost 29 years. I’ve held various roles. I'll tell you it's gone back to my college days when I was just a part-time cashier with this organization, moving up to where I am now holding roles from operations to learning and development now in sales. I really think that the amount of experience I’ve been able to gain over the years has really allowed me to be able to connect better from a sales enablement perspective and really being able to bring a lot of that experience to life, so I have thoroughly enjoyed the 29 years. I’ve always told them, I’ll always stay on it as long as you keep me, and they’ve held their end of the bargain and I’m holding my end of the bargain. We’re having a great time. SS: I love to hear that. Now, I would also say that the sales landscape has also been evolving, especially in the past two years, and enablement itself has experienced a lot of transformation. How has your approach to sales enablement evolved in recent years? How has this evolution helped drive innovation for your enablement program? JF: Well, I have to tell you, we have several great leaders in our organization, and one of them just the other day said this great statement. It’s been out there for years, but “what got you here, won’t get you there.” We had to really step back and even though the pandemic was the worst of times, it’s allowing us to really have a great vision for what could be the best of times. It has given us a clear line of sight on how we need to move forward from a sales enablement perspective. We really had to step back and say, you know what, we need to look at our channels. With our organization, those are the various levels of sales that we have within our organization. We had to say, whether they’re regional or national or whether they’re strategic or tactical. we had to look at it from a customer perspective. How are we going to be able to get in front of our customer moving forward? Like you said, the landscape has changed. We had to step back and say, let’s re-look at the competencies that we have put out there and for our teams and where are the activities standards now versus the way they were? Then how is that driving a new set of key performance indicators? All those things will start to work together for a complete sales enablement landscape, giving us a readiness score, giving our teams where are they from a readiness perspective to say, how can we continue to move them forward and develop them along the way? Again, they’re learning just like we’re learning because the pandemic has changed the way we go to sales. We have to meet our customers where they are and at the same time, we have to meet our sales team where they are. Keeping all this in mind, if you don’t have a good set of systems to help drive that behavior, you've got to step back and say, how are we going to allow all those items I just said to be built into the system to really know that selling is an art, but we have to bring the science back to support it. SS: I love that approach. I think that’s fantastic. Now, another thing that you focused on is the importance of cross-functional strategies to drive business success. Now, in your experience, how can enablement help build bridges across the organization? JF: Well, I tell you sales enablement is not on an island on their own, and in order to get a full sales organization moving and headed in the same direction, you have got to have business partners bringing in their key level experience of where it’s needed for the plan that you’re putting in place. Sales must feel that alignment. If they feel that you are putting programs out there that no one else across the organization knows or understands, they’re less likely, obviously, to act upon it or have trust in it. You can’t design a program without all the applicable individuals across the organization being aligned in one approach. We as sales enablement teams and you as a sales enabler, you are the director. You are the one that directs and creates that strategy and plan, but you also are the one that is the voice and the advocate of that plan across the organization. No one’s going to be more passionate about that plan than you. If you can express that passion across your business partners, they will align with you to allow you to truly activate that plan to show that all the talents coming together is now putting this one plan in place to help push a sales organization forward and to really support the field sales team. SS: Now, in addition to cross-functional collaboration, sales enablement also must partner with teams across different regions. I know that you do globally as well. What are some of your best practices for scaling your enablement programs across regions? JF: Well, our regions are really broken up into different channel types. As I stated earlier, we had to really step back and say, you know what, it’s not a one size fits all approach. You’ve got to understand your landscape within your organization, and again, now not only are you meeting your customers where they are, you've got to meet your team where they are. We have a group of national sales individuals, we have regional sales individuals, we have tactical individuals versus strategy individuals. How do we make sure that we are conveying our messages and developing the programs that are very elastic in nature, that can expand across many different channels to be able to fit them all? It doesn’t mean you have to customize every single thing for those individuals, but what it does mean is that whatever you’re doing for one group, you need to step back and say, does it align to them, or do I need to tweak it for their absorption? That’s why it’s crucial that you have to step back. Sometimes it's easy. Hey, let’s just develop a program that’s absorbable by everybody and move on and then hope for the best. You just can’t do that. Nowadays times your teams are meeting and delivering in many different ways, and we’ve got to make sure that we are meeting and delivering them in many different ways at the same time. I think it’s crucial that you’ve got to look at your regions as individual customer types, and then how are you going to deliver to them specifically? SS: I really like that approach of looking at them as individual customer types. Now, I’d love to talk about driving consistency across teams, especially as your processes and your programs have been evolving. A lot of sales enablement practitioners will leverage sales plays. They see them as a critical tool for enablement practitioners, but how have you utilized sales plays to improve sales behavior and what has been the impact of doing so? JF: Well, I would tell you that sales plays are a true sales guidance tool. A lot of times when you think of sales plays, you think of a specific product or a specific initiative that maybe you’re putting out there. We look at it as an all-up solution. What is a solution that we can provide our customers at the time of need? We've really started developing the sales plays for that particular purpose. We have found that obviously it gives a central point of reference for our field sales team and allows them to build a solution, not only at the opportunity level, but also at the customer strategy level. We have layered in our sales plays in many different facets to be able to really ignite our sales organization for quicker absorption and allows us to really measure that information quickly. The quicker you can get information absorbed, the quicker you can get them moving forward on a particular solution allows them to build a specific customer communication strategy that allows that sales play to be a key component on how they move forward. We all know how they’re structured. It’s crucial that we always put in front of them, what is it you need to know? What is it you need to say, show and do? If you can keep that same formula, it becomes very predictable and whenever a sales play is in front of them, they’ll know exactly what to look at, how to look at it, and how to activate upon it. It has been a valuable tool that we’ve been able to utilize and really reinforce and getting our teams moving forward. SS: That’s fantastic. Well, while we’re on the topic of business impact, what are some of your strategies for gathering insights on how enablement is impacting performance? JF: Well, I have to tell you, data is key. I’ve really had to step back and say, what type of data do we have? I saw this great illustration the other day on LinkedIn. It was all in Lego format, which was fun, and it was the formation of data. You have all these pieces jumbled up together, and then how do you go about sorting and arranging and presenting that data in a logical manner that allows you to truly create the full story. That illustration showed, like I said, the pieces in one area, then they were sorted by color, they were stacked by color, and then at the end they actually saw house being built by those Legos. It just gives a great illustration for you to know that data can be your friend and can also drive success and gives you a great formula of success of how you move forward. Creating a national enablement program, you’ve got to always start with the end goal in mind, and then how do I then move that goal forward? How do I utilize data to assist me in developing that story and improving the overall health of the sales organization? Again, short term performance is great, you’ve got to have that. You’ve got to have those quick wins and what’s happening and allow the data to say it, but then you also got to step back and go look at making sure that long term sustainability performance is the goal by ensuring that we have sales linearity for a consistent set of results. That is one of the key areas that I have looked at and have found again, going back to the very beginning when I said bringing science to the art of selling, that is true. You hire sales individuals to do what they do best. We as sales enablers bring together and format what they do on a daily basis, and present to them in a story approach to say this is not only what you’re doing, but this is what you can do to even make it better as you continue to move forward. SS: I love that particular point. Jeff, as my last question for you that is a follow on to that, how can enablement practitioners leverage those insights and analytics to continuously improve the enablement programs and increase that business impact? JF: Well, as I stated, you have to have the end goal in mind to create the clear vision. A lot of times we try to hit the ground running with the problem at hand, and yes, we can always fall into that pit, but we’ve got to step back and say, okay, here’s the problem, but why are we having that problem? Let’s start digging in and doing a scientific approach to unraveling and finding out the key “why's” of something that’s occurring so that we can redevelop or develop a new program that may be able to be a better fit. Again, once that occurs, you've got to have sales leadership alignment across the board. Top down and across. If we do not have the full support of sales leadership, again, you can’t get off the ground running. You are the advocate for your sales team. As a sales enabler, you are the one that must sell that program and how it will benefit the individual, but also how it will benefit the organization. That’s where you bring those sales leaders along the way. Again, systems must be orchestrated in a way that they deliver data in a clean, organized manner. They cannot be a jumbled-up pack of Legos. You've got to be able to show the clear story of what the expectation is, and if your systems aren’t able to drive that clear set of data, you've got to step back and say, what is it that I can do to make sure I’m conveying that information in an organized fashion so that my sales team can act accordingly and then deliver it in a good, better, best format? You’ve got to either have that 60:40 or 80:20 rule. I’m either going to be able to deliver 60% of it right now and continue to develop the other 40%, or either 80, 20. From a good, better, best approach, know that you’ve got to get your items out there, your programs out there, and get them activated, but you’re never going to have that nice bow. A lot of times we like to deliver things that are a nice bow, but by the time we get the bow tied, the market has changed, things have moved on. The way that the market is changing today, we’ve got to make sure that they can at least see the ribbon. Here’s the ribbon on how we’re going to tie that bow, and here’s the vision on how we’re going to get there and here’s the steps we’re going to take. Keep them aligned. Keep communication in front of them. Ensure that you are staying and knowing that you’re right there along with them so that at the end, the bow is tied, they can see what the finished product is, and you have not missed a beat as things change along the way. SS: I love that analogy. Jeff, thank you so much for joining us today. JF: Sure. Thank you for having me. It was a great pleasure. SS: To our audience, thanks for listening.

Today Sarah Clark and Brandy Buskow are digging into why gluten matters if you are TTC. I get this question all the time, “should I go gluten-free if I'm trying to conceive”. As you may know, I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency at 28 and had both my kids with donors' eggs. Years later I discovered food sensitivities, gut infections, and chronic stress the cause of my infertility. I had no idea that gluten was a problem for my health until years later. Looking back the symptoms were there – bloating, dark circles under my eyes (an indicator of food sensitivity), acne, dizziness, mood swings, keratosis pilaris (also known as chicken skin on the back of my arms – exfoliation didn't help), and of course infertility. As you may know, we work with complex cases such as low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, and premature ovarian insufficiency/failure. We see a theme of non-celiac gluten sensitivity with food sensitivity tests coming back with gluten off the charts. I'm excited to welcome Brandy Buskow back to the podcast. Brandy is part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is an integral part of our Couples Coaching program - which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception.

Show Notes: [0:00:58] Intro | Timely Topics Jeremy is REALLY excited about this one. [0:02:30] How to Choose a Business Event The Nitty Gritty: Hotel selection, what to eat?  Is there a way to predetermine things about the event you wish to attend? You must determine what you're looking for out of a conference. What are your outcomes? “We live in a magical world…because internet” There's a workshop, virtual and in-person, for everything you can imagine-- technical and rudimentary. [0:09:45] You've Picked out Your Event..What Now? How to prepare to get the most out of our event. What are the talks or discussions you must hear? Search the hashtag and note the attendees, then energize conversations with those people. Knowing who is going to be there can work in your favor. Look at the schedule. Have a plan. Consider arriving early. ...and leaving a little early? Treat your business events and travel like full-on PTO. Ensure your team knows you won't be available. The event is the work. The "all-in-one" event can prevent headaches and uncertainty. Preventing choice paralysis. Take the time to unpack and process AT the event. Talk to your team or write about it, thus making it less likely to forget the important details you want or need to remember. Compare notes with those who attended the same or similar presentations. If you go alone, that's a great excuse to make a friend...if you're extroverted.

Embracing the technological capabilities of the modern-day isn't just a good idea; it's a necessity. On today's episode of The Sales Evangelist, Donald is joined by Peter Kazanjy, the founder of Atrium and Modern Sales Pros (the nation's largest sales, operations and leadership peer-education community.) As an author on early-stage sales excellent (Founding Sales), Peter is a sales expert who knows why you need to become a data-driven sales seller. What does it mean to be a data-driven seller? It's very similar to the innovation we've seen in athletics and high-end professions: someone utilizes every available advantage.  Especially with people working from home, there's an opportunity to use new information to improve rep and team performance. If you don't utilize these new technological innovations to make data-informed decisions, you're going to be in a bad spot. How do you sell embracing technology to managers? There are two historical reasons sales managers are typically blocked from a data-driven perspective: their ability and enablement, or the available tooling. Simple deal inspection is a standard management style, but it's no longer the most effective. Enabling managers to manage metrics and goals is necessary to close the number of deals needed to stay viable.  Transitioning to a data-driven framework, especially as a manager, only benefits the team and brings in more money, making it a practical adjustment when given the proper resources. How can I go about starting if I don't have management support? Start paying attention to the important precursors. There's a conversion rate for the total number of accounts you interact with and the number of opportunities you create. Similarly, there will be a correlation between outreach efforts and movement through a conversion funnel. It's like doing your daily pushups - consistency is key. Even if you don't have the support of those around you, tracking simple metrics yourself will significantly help your own sales goals. What metrics should we tackle first? The further upstream you can get, the better. Ensure you are meeting not just the quantity threshold you need, but one of quantity. Don't email a few people; spread your portfolio. Who are you engaging with? Are you doing a good job, indicated by the response rate and opportunities created? Peter's major takeaway: Understand the importance of data-driven sales management. Whether that's investing in highly specialized software or just keeping track on a whiteboard in your living room, using data to make decisions will provide critical opportunities for growth in your organization. To get in touch with Peter, connect with him on LinkedIn. His company Atrium is offering special deals on various resources (and even coffee mugs) for listeners of The Sales Evangelist, which you can access at atriumhq.com/tse. This episode is brought to you in part by Skipio. Are you sick of crickets? As a salesperson, the pain of reaching out with phone calls or emails and not receiving a response is real. But all text messaging is not created equal. 85% of people prefer text over email and phone calls because they want to engage in a conversation, not listen to bots. Be more like people and start having conversations that end in the conversions you want. Try Skipio at www.Skipio.com.

Tiffany Jo Baker joins us as we're digging into deepening your Christian faith during the fertility journey. Welcome to day #4 of our series on faith and fertility. When we are faced with a fertility diagnosis such as low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency, or diminished ovarian we may feel shocked, hopeless, lost, and overwhelmed. We may even question our body's ability to procreate. Today I'll be discussing how our faith can help us during our fertility journey.

In this episode you'll learn: 1) How to deepen our connection to God during the fertility journey from an Islamic perspective 2) What to do if someone says it's God's plan, or God's revenge during the fertility journey 3) How does scripture help during the stages of grief 4) The rules around the Christian faith and how this can impact us (i.e. may not be able to utilize assisted reproduce technology) 5) How to make churches welcoming to a couple who is trying to conceive as there are many triggers (i.e. families, children, and pregnant bellies) 6) How serving others can help us when we are in the middle of struggle Excited that our LIVE Fertility Diet Challenge is launching on Nov 8th.

Summary: On today's episode, we talk about blockchain technology and how it could impact marketing. First of all, what is blockchain? It's a buzzword, not many understand. Blockchain is a decentralized technology that uses an online financial ledger, validated by the community. It is connected to past transactions using a hash to eliminate any fraud, interceptions, or manipulation. These “blocks” of financial information are all connected to form a blockchain. Translation: it's VERY honest. As an agency, it's vital that you conduct your own research about cryptocurrency and blockchain to improve your understanding of these revolutionary concepts. Ads on TV these days are extremely annoying, and they shouldn't have to be. It's important to be aware that through blockchain, which ads you see, and any incentives, could drastically change. Although technology is helpful, it is simply a tool, and should not define any moral standards. Ensure that you and your agency have a healthy balance of technology in your culture by allowing time without technology, and remembering your double-bottom-line.    Top 3 Curtain Pulls in this episode:  Be intentional about learning about blockchain. Do not write off the potential blockchain has to be as successful as the internet. Don't be the person who said “the internet will never change advertising”. Invest into understanding blockchain and how it works because someday soon, it may be a big part of the agency world. “embrace it. learn about it. Don't say ‘I don't get that'. It's possibly as revolutionary or more revolutionary than the internet”  Ads need to become effective, not annoying. We can all agree that the worst part about live TV is the ads. Although many companies use TV advertisements with limited results, with blockchain, these types of ads could be more effective and appealing by using incentives, or allowing marketers to know your preferred ads. “People really hate ads. But it clearly pays for everything. There's got to be a better way.” Blockchain will impact the world much more than it already has; be ready. Blockchain could revolutionize numerous industries, including your agency's. Do not allow technology to set the standard for or be the enforcer of honesty. You can prepare for the changes ahead by building a healthy balance of technology in your agency's culture and becoming more adaptable. “Anything unbalanced is bad.” For more tips, discussion, and behind the scenes: Follow us on Instagram @AgencyPodcast Join our closed Facebook community for agency leaders   About The Guys:  Bob Hutchins: Founder of BuzzPlant, a digital agency that he ran from from 2000 -2017.

[4:56] Brad talks about a positive experience with Facebook that he had recently.  [7:42] Brad talks about BAT (basic attention token) and introduces today's topic, blockchain [10:13] Ken talks about how, “people really hate ads. But it clearly pays for everything. There's got to be a better way.” [17:30] Bob brainstorms a few ideas about how to make watching ads more effective and less annoying. [17:35] Brad discusses how although a consumer could offer information to marketing companies, these companies often discover things people don't know about themselves through cookies and targeted marketing. “there's things that I don't even know, in my subconscious that probably Facebook actually knows about me. I'm not going to be able to give that to Facebook, because I don't know that about myself.” [18:29] Ken talks about how blockchain can make information gathering be more transparent. [19:33] Bob breaks down what blockchain is. “In a nutshell, what you have is a decentralized system or method of transferring data back and forth that is secure and cannot be intercepted and manipulated.” [20:16] Ken adds that, “blockchain is the technology that coins like Bitcoin and those kinds of things run on. It's decentralized, but it's also a ledger.” [24:07] Bob talks about how blockchain could eliminate the central control centers in countries around the world.   [26:07] Ken discusses the importance of being intentional about learning as much as possible about blockchain. He also talks about the potential areas blockchain could be applied to in the future. “embrace it. learn about it. Don't say ‘I don't get that'. It's possibly as revolutionary or more revolutionary than the internet”  [29:41] Bob relates blockchain to virtual reality in Ready Player One.  [32:03] Brad connects blockchain back to potential marketing strategies and ideas. [32:22] Ken adds on, saying, “you could basically pay people for what their time is worth and how much influence they have… maybe each person has their endorsements.” [34:04] Ken discusses the importance of unplugging to find freedom in life and to live in the moment. [35:19] Ken contemplates the moral issue that arises when humanity relies on technology as the only way to achieve honesty in a business and even personal settings. [37:12] Brad talks about how profit has driven, “our digital world to run on greed and power.” [41:43] Ken discusses the importance of balance in technology and in blockchain. “Anything unbalanced is bad.”

Questions. A mentor, Dr. John Demartini once told me —the quality of the questions you ask will determine the quality of our lives. But there's a problem: when we run our lives on auto-pilot, we aren't aware of the questions we're asking. Which means we ask questions like: How could I ever afford to do that? Why does this always happen to me? Why can't I seem to be further along? Instead, what if you flipped the above and asked: How can I create more value? What's the competitive advantage this gives me? Where can I truly celebrate the blessings I have today? Enter my latest guest, Marc Champagne. Marc believes we're all one question away from a completely different life. He's studied the minds of people like Kobe Bryant, Maya Angelou, Naveen Jain, James Clear, Picasso, Stephen Hawking and created a book called Personal Socrates: Questions That Will Upgrade Your Life from Legends and World-Class Performers. In today's conversation, Marc Champagne and I dive into the power of "mental fitness", what wisdom really means, and how to ask better questions, to gain deeper insights, clarity —and well, results on a daily basis.
