HOW TO SURVIVE THE ENTREPRENEUR ROLLER COASTER Have you ever been on the entrepreneur roller coaster? It is all about the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur. IMPORTANT LINKS Next chance to launch is coming up. See the launch workshop details at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/podcastfast. If you have a podcast and you're ready to grow now, here's your chance. See my next workshop at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/workshop. THE BOOK As I've created this podcast, I've experienced the entrepreneur roller coaster time and time again. One day it is the best thing going. You get a client to enroll and you're on cloud nine. The next day you get the email that a client is not renewing and they are moving on. You're bummed for the next three days. This all comes to life everyday for most of us as entrepreneurs. It is also described in an amazing way in the book The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster by Darren Hardy. Darren currently owns and runs DarrenHardy.com where he and his team help people be exceptional. He is an author, speaker, and advisor. Darren is also the former publisher of Success Magazine. In addition to The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster, Darren Hardy also wrote Living Your Best Year Ever and The Compound Effect. It will prepare you for the wild ride of entrepreneurship. It will warn you of the forthcoming fears, doubts, and the self-defeating conditioning of your upbringing and past. It will inoculate you from the naysayers, dream-stealers, and pains of rejection and failure. And it will guide you safely past the landmines that blow up and cause the failure of 66 percent of all new businesses. MY ENTREPRENEUR ROLLER COASTER 2024 is a perfect example of my own roller coaster. This year started with two of my coaching clients and one of my editing clients not renewing for another year. I loved each of them. It was painful and felt like a breakup. I knew they had amazing potential. Each of them had achieved so much to this point. The progress was fantastic. Over the year, I had a few amazing calls with coaches who didn't sign up for the coaching I felt would help them in such a big way. Each of them had their own reasons. We continue to stay in touch. I believe the time will eventually be right for them. THE FUN PART OF THE RIDE Then there were call like my most recent client who couldn't enroll fast enough. He has been in my world for a few years, and we finally got on a coaching call together. On that call, he signed up and has been knocking it out of the park. It feels so great. Each time I get on a call with my other clients, they tell me of all the great progress they are making and the lives they are changing. I just wrapped up a coaching program helping Neil and Taylere launch their "The Leadership Pause" podcast. They sent me an email that said, "Thank you for everything, Erik! We appreciate all your guidance. This course was terrific." It has happened in my business year after year. A few years ago it was really getting to me to the point I was going to throw in the towel. THE DATA Then one day I looked at the data. I noticed a trend in my business. Listening to my podcast tends to dip in the summer. My workshops are less attended in the summer. Fewer clients sign up in the summer. When August arrives, my downloads increase. I have more speaking opportunities. My workshops have great crowds. And more clients enroll. It's nothing I'm doing. The entrepreneur roller coaster is just the nature of my business. That's when I realized I didn't need to be scared of that first roller coaster drop. It always happens. Then comes the fun of the turns and loops. Once I started understanding the entrepreneur roller coaster is natural, podcasting and business became much more fun. WE ARE ALL ON THE ENTREPRENEUR ROLLER COASTER I was on a summit this week. During a roundtable discussion with the other experts who were speaking, I discovered we all have our own entrepreneur roller coasters. We all have our own journey. Don't compare yourself to others. Enjoy your path. The entrepreneur roller coaster is normal. We are all on it. You need to learn to enjoy the ride. Step back and examine your roller coaster, so you can anticipate the drops. Anticipate the dips, turns and thrills, so you can enjoy the journey. Stop looking at your downloads this week compared to last week. Look at this month compared to the same month last year and the year before. Do you see seasonality in your podcast? Is the roller coaster natural in your business? Start planning the next year with the entrepreneur roller coaster in mind. When you see the dip in the history, plan things to embrace and counter the dip. Create content on your podcast people will consume during the dip. Help them with the challenges that happen in their lives at that time. YOUR NEXT STEPS Next chance to launch is coming up.

Over 50% of CEOs have felt loneliness at some point in their business journey. That's according to one study, but the likely reality is that it affects many more than that.Most people only see the illusion of success, not the hard work, sweat, and tears to get there. But there's a loneliness that comes with being an entrepreneur bubbling underneath, too, and it can happen at any stage of your business.Furthermore, if you let your loneliness linger, it starts impacting you as a wife, mom, friend, and so on. So the question is... how can you recognize these signs of loneliness and combat them?In this episode of Time to Level Up, you'll learn how loneliness can show up for you in the three stages of entrepreneurship. I'll also teach you how to put checks and balances in place so you can combat that loneliness and prevent it from negatively affecting other areas of your life.3:54 - Why surrounding yourself with people who understand you as a business owner is key9:46 - How stage one of loneliness looks and feels like for entrepreneurs11:58 - Why hiring contractors or employees exposes you to loneliness of a different sort14:12 - How success can lead to isolation in the third stage of entrepreneurial loneliness17:00 - Three checks and balances you need to implement to recognize signs of lonelinessMentioned In How to Recognize and Combat Signs of Loneliness In Your BusinessShe Thinks Big Live EventShe Thinks Big by Andrea LiebrossRunway to FreedomDigital Debunking: Has the Motivational Iceberg Poster Been Lying to Us?The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster by Darren HardyAndrea on LinkedIn, Instagram, and FacebookAndrea here with a reminder that you need to be at She Thinks Big Live in Indianapolis on January 19, and time is running out to purchase your ticket.

We plan to interview experts to help you find solutions in what I term “The Business Owner 6 P Formula of running your business:  1. People (Human capital), 2. Productivity (Execution), 3. Promotion (Marketing), 4. Processes (Operations), 5. Pricing (Sales), 6. Profit (Financials).  Our experts will help you solve these business challenges.

My top 5 books of all time: #5 The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster by Darren Hardy #4 Atomic Habits by James Clear #3 Intentional Living by John Maxwell #2 Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill #1 Cultivate Positive Culture: 10 Actions to Faithful Living by Gary Wilbers (Now, you didn't see that coming did you.  I couldn't forget a book I authored.)

Gratitude: Gratitude is the experience of counting one's blessings. It is the feeling that embodies the word “Thank You”. It is the unexpected reward of a kind deed that is magically produced by your brain. A 2003 study by Emmons and McCullough found that keeping a daily gratitude journal leads to not just an increased sense of well-being but also better sleep, willingness to accept change and also help and lower symptoms of physical pain. As it turns out, gratitude could be the ultimate magic pill for happiness. Here's the bottom line: Write a journal every morning and every night it's the closest thing to help you find happiness and peace in life.   Either get a journal and start to process or if you need help here is my recommendation I shared with my clients this year.  It's called “The Five Minute Journal.” You can check it out at fiveminutejournal.com Links  Learn more about Gary's Mastermind group at goascend.biz/mastermind/  

66% of small businesses fail, and it's not for the reasons you think. So why do they fail?  That is what Darren Hardy set out on a mission to discover in The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster. What he found was startling. All the previously reported reasons and assumptions for the failure rate (capital, location, credit, inventory management, and competition) were wrong.Failure was not due to outside factors--they were internal. They weren't economic--they were emotional. The unexpected and terrifying emotional roller coaster an entrepreneur experiences is the greatest factor in why most quit and ultimately fail. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

What does it take to become a business owner? Are you qualified to become one? Do thoughts like “I'm not smart enough” or “I don't have a business degree” keep you from going for it? Well, guess what? There are less qualified people who have taken the step to build a business. They just learn as they go. Mistakes happen even to the most experienced business owners, so stop waiting and start that business! In today's conversation, the coaches will talk about the 3 different areas where common mistakes occur and what you can do to prevent them. Being a business owner is both exciting and challenging. There are people who can guide you through. You just need to be willing to take action!  They also recommend 3 books that every business owner should read to better understand the entrepreneurial world.  https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Revisited-Small-Businesses-About/dp/0887307280 (The E-Myth Revisited) by Michael Gerber https://www.amazon.com/Profit-First-Transform-Cash-Eating-Money-Making-ebook/dp/B01HCGYTH4 (Profit First )by Mike Michalowicz  https://www.amazon.com/Entrepreneur-Roller-Coaster-Your-JoinTheRide/dp/1733513302 (The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster) by Darren Hardy --- Want to go even deeper into the conversation?

What You Will Learn: How Cody's career led him to become a financial advisor and co-founding a business, and what early challenges he faced, and lessons he learned as an entrepreneur How Cody and his teamwork to help small business owners who “happen to be financial advisors” Why the biggest challenge Cody faced as an entrepreneur was learning to let go of responsibility and develop his delegation skills How the process of learning to delegate worked for Cody, and why it's crucial to make sure that the person you're delegating to is able to do the job the way you want it done Why delegating responsibility also means offering accountability, and why Cody had to learn to clearly define expectations How Cody learned to work in the business less and to work on the business through strategic planning and looking to the future Why Cody attributes the growth and success of Advisors Excel to hiring great people and investing in their growth How the leader that manages all of Advisors Excel's digital marketing efforts started with the company as an intern, and why promoting from within has proven a winning strategy Why overhiring for a position is an unexpected pitfall, and why it's crucial that your new hires fit with your company's Culture Why it's usually obvious within a short time if someone isn't a great Culture fit for your organization, and why you need to address it quickly About Cody Foster Cody Foster is one of the co-founders of Advisors Excel. In 2004, after leaving a corporate job to partner with David Callanan to be independent financial advisors, he realized the support system for independent advisors was dramatically insufficient. So, in 2005, along with third partner Derek Thompson, they formed Advisors Excel with a goal of building a world-class support structure for independent financial advisors across the country. Today they have over 650 employees and are responsible for generating over $7 billion in annual sales. Their success in achieving this has led to their story being featured in Success Magazine, Darren Hardy's book “The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster” and Tony Robbins' #1 New York Times bestselling book, “Money, Master the Game.” Cody graduated from Washburn University in 1999 and has made Topeka his home ever since. He is a big believer in the future of the capital city of Kansas – having served as the Chairman of the Greater Topeka Partnership and a leading investor and developer in quality of life initiatives including The Cyrus Hotel, The Pennant, and Iron Rail Brewing. As much as he enjoys business, his real love is family. Cody, and his wife Jennifer, a Topeka native and fellow Washburn graduate, have been married since 2001 and have two children, Dylan and Ella.

Josh Goodman has experienced an incredible roller coaster ride in his entrepreneurial journey. After several years with Cutco/Vector as a rep and manager, Josh embarked on a quest to find his ideal path in business. There were successes and failures, and eventually, a personal experience led him to found his own company, now known as PourMyBeer. His company solves a bottleneck that Josh personally experienced in the hospitality industry with an innovative self-pour technology that allows customers to pour their own drinks and pay by the ounce. After some initial bumps in the road in this business, Josh’s company has doubled in size several times in the last 5 years, as they have installed over 7000 self-pour taps in 270 locations throughout 23 countries. Josh has been featured on CNBC, Entrepreneur Magazine, and Bloomberg, and recently took an investment from Coca-Cola European Partners to expand their presence with non-alcoholic beverages.

Ray and Cooper wrap up season 2 with a discussion on some of the ups and downs as business owners.

Good morning everyone! Thank you for tuning in to Motivated Entrepreneurs. I'm your host, Dean Booty. Today is Saturday, the 10th of October. And today we have a book review and its called, "The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster" by Darren Hardy. Whatever we do in life, there will be ups and downs, times when we are on top, and times when we simply want to give up. This is especially the case for entrepreneurs. When these bad times hit, many people give up – but not those with the right mind-set. They ride the entrepreneurial roller coaster right to the end, until they have made their company a success. Give it a listen!

In this episode, I want to take on the bad advice that I seem to see more and more of in the press. It keeps cropping up as the solution to our troubles—particularly during this season of COVID-19. These aren't my ideas. Millionaires and billionaires like Branson, Buffet, Trump, Dr. Oz, and many others have applied this advice to make their fortunes. Hat tip to Darren Hardy for pointing it out in the Entrepreneur Roller Coaster. If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing and tell others who might benefit from this podcast.

You don't have to go to college to be an entrepreneur. You don't have to go to school at all, but you do have to pay for the tuition. The price can be steep, but in this episode, Darren talks about why it is a price that you should willingly pay, and he shares a tool that can help you make it a little bit more affordable.

Kyle Wilson recently interviewed long-time friend, Darren Hardy, at his beautiful home in San Diego, CA. Darren rolled out the red carpet. This was Darren's first podcast interview he has granted in 3 years (and he explains in the interview). In addition to Darren not doing podcast he also doesn't give endorsements. That's why his endorsement a few years back related to my coaching and marketing meant so much to me. “I guard my endorsements carefully. Regarding Kyle, he is simply a marketing genius! No joke. Kyle was the wizard behind the successful business of my mentor Jim Rohn. Every marketing dilemma I have ever had Kyle has given me the brilliant and elegant solution on the spot. Kyle’s consulting has saved and earned me hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.” - Darren Hardy With that endorsement comes access. So for the benefit of my podcast listeners I wanted to extract as much insight and wisdom as we could in our 2 hours. I told Darren before the interview my ultimate goal is to pull back the curtain. Let people get to know you. What makes you tick. That intimate behind the scenes conversation pulling from our 25 year friendship. I then ask Darren if we could focus on Darren, the entrepreneur and Marketer. He said, yes, ask me anything you want. So many high level golden nuggets were covered. So much that I had to break into 3 parts and still many topics I'm not able to get in 3 episodes. If you want all 2 hours shot me an email to access@kylewilson.com and I will share how to access not just the entire 2 hours, but also the entire interview on video, plus recent interviews with John Assaraf, Denis Waitley, Brian Tracy and over 50 hours of other awesome content. Send an email to access@kylewilson.com to get details. Here are some topics we cover on Part 3 with Darren Hardy: The Importance of Communication and Transmuting How You Feel  Favorite Interviews as Publisher of SUCCESS Magazine Darren's Personal Investment Philosophy Lesson From Warren Buffet Know Your Circle of Competency Darren's Two Hard Lessons Advice About Partnerships The Making of the Jim Rohn Tribute Video Why Jim Rohn's Message is Bigger Today Than It's Ever Been A Tip For People Who Are in The Personal Development World   Darren's Next Project That Will Redefine Everything Has Done The Five Stages of The Hero's Journey Darren's Morning Routine Time Blocking and Focus  And that is just part 3. Make sure and listen to Part 1 and 2 if you haven't. Darren Hardy is a New York Times best-selling author, who wrote The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster, Living Your Best Year Ever and The Compound Effect.  He is a phenomenal speaker and has been awarded the ‘Master of Influence’ designation by the National Speakers Association.  And he is a high level advisor (including some billionaires), and is the former publisher of SUCCESS magazine.  Most important and impressive to me is Darren is an Entrepreneur who has built a highly successful 8 figure a year company by bringing massive value to the marketplace.

Roller coasters are supposed to be fun because you get to climb to the top of the track, look around at everything and then all-of-a-sudden whoosh your diving downward at top speed. Twist, turns and even loops. That's great fun at an amusement park but not when running a business. A metaphorical roller coast ride as an entrepreneur is having an epic high like a new client, big check or other great success but then what goes up must also come back down. Often in business, these highs and lows happen in the same week. That's the roller coaster. So, what do you do? Strive for a more predictable middle. Avoid making decisions when you're at the very top or very bottom. Understand that neither the euphoria of wins or the dread of a loss (taking an "L") is permanent. Predictability is key to a successful business, so go after those highs to balance the lows (it happens to everyone, not just you) but work towards consistency. The roller coaster is a lot of fun, but it's exhausting at the same time. If you want a long, healthy career try staying off the roller coaster or at least try to make it a short ride. Don't think you're bulletproof when you are on top and don't quit just because you came crashing back down. Balance yourself and understand we all take this ride from time to time. Good luck! See you next week. May the forth (5/4/19) be with you.

Iain Grae: Embracing the Entrepreneur Roller Coaster   In this episode, Yvonne and Iain discuss: The illusion of control and how it actually controls you. Being awake, honest, and congruent to your core values and the process of defining your core values. What happens when you step up and take responsibility for every aspect of your life. Routines, rituals, and measuring tools for tracking and making joy your habit. How Evolved Lyfe got started and was built.   Key Takeaways: Practice has the intention. So playing with intention is a practice. Play, create, and thrive occurs inside of community. Errors and mistakes, concerns and doubts, give us access to our greatness and our ability to grow. Joy is the natural state of beings for humans. If you’re experiencing something other, investigate what may be causing the disturbance in the field.   "All emotions are gifts. They are all signals telling me something. They are directing me why I am experiencing this emotion." — Iain Grae   About Iain Grae: Mission: "To usher in Heaven on Earth" Iain has spoken worked in groups as small as six and spoken to groups of over 10,000 people.

Stephen is the CEO of Predictive ROI and the host of the Onward Nation podcast. He is the author of two bestselling books, speaker, trainer, and his digital marketing insights have been featured in SUCCESS, Entrepreneur, The Washington Post, Forbes, Inc. Magazine, and other media. Good Morning Onward Nation…I’m Stephen Woessner and welcome to this week’s solocast…Episode 405. Today I am going to share a lesson about why — and how — you need to “go long” with your Dream 50 — each and every week. But first…I hope 2017 has started off with so much momentum for you that you’re scrambling to hang on to all of the opportunity by your fingernails — and that you are being forcefully pushed to scale your business — that your expertise is in such high-demand that you’re looking for any and all ways to expand what it is you’re offering to your customers — and that your view of your most profitable customers is getting clearer and clearer — giving you the opportunity to serve the customers who value you and your team the most — and in the process — you’re delivering your best work to the customers who appreciate most what you are delivering — and as a result — you are creating very happy customers! If that sounds like you — you are likely building a predictable, scalable, repeatable — and — profitable business. Again, that’s my hope for you in 2017. But — if this is not what is currently happening in your business — and instead you find yourself prospecting and working hard to turn over every stone you can — looking for new sources of revenue — or you’re being forced to work with customers you would rather not take on — you and your team are stressed trying to meet unrealistic demands of clients who abuse your team with insane deadlines and critical feedback — or maybe your prospective clients are sitting on the fence while taunting you with threats that they are continuing to evaluate all you and your competitors. Does any of that sound familiar? Then this week’s solocast is for you, Onward Nation. Of course…we have all been there. Some of us multiple times — being a business owner for any period of time means you have likely experienced the Entrepreneur Roller Coaster — great book by Darren Hardy by the way if you haven’t already read it. We have all experienced the highs and the lows — and sometimes — it can feel like we will never break free from the lows — and that the highs are way too short-lived. If you are feeling like you’re operating your business at the mercy of the market — it is a symptom of two chronic problems. Problem #1: that you have not precisely defined your client avatar. But that is easy to fix. Just go back to Episode 396 and get my complete blueprint for creating your client avatar — the questions you need to ask — the full process — it is there in complete transparency. Again, that’s Episode 396 — just a couple of weeks ago. Problem #2: you haven’t defined your Dream 50 clients — the people who you most want to serve. Your Dream 50 are of course in-line with your avatar — but these 50 prospects — they represent the best of the best. The highest level — the clients you would most like to serve — your ultimate dream clients. Do you have a Dream 50 list prepared, Onward Nation? If not…you need to. Like immediately. In fact, I have our Predictive ROI Dream 50 list hanging on the wall right next to my desk in my office — I can turn to see the list at any point throughout the day — it is a constant reminder. I think about the list — strategize about the list — every day. You need to do the same with your own Dream 50. Please go to back to Episode 308 for deeper insights into the Dream 50 process — it’s a lesson I learned from Darren Hardy. He told me, “Stephen…you need to create your Dream 50 list — and then — you need to develop a strategy for how you are going to show them the love — consistently — so they know that doing business with you would be one of the best decisions they could make.” And one of the best ways to show your Dream 50 the love is to go long — or share valuable long form content — each and every week. As Jay Baer, our outstanding guest in Episode 305 encouraged us… “You need to give away your best content — your secret sauce — for free.” In full transparency, Onward Nation — give it all away. Every step — every detail — each and every piece. So that if they wanted to — they could steal it all from you and do it themselves. I love that. And if you have been listening to this show for a while — you already know that I am firm believer in that philosophy. I give away the strategies my Predictive ROI team applies for our clients every day — I give those to you for free — in full transparency. Let’s look at this solocast so far…I just referred back to the Client Avatar workshop you can find in Episode 396 — at Predictive — we charge clients for that work. But I am giving it to you. Why? Because I hope it serves you — I want you to steal it — I want you to take it — I want you to apply it — I want you to grow your business as a result of applying it. That is my hope for you. And someday — when you are looking for a content marketing and lead gen agency to help you scale your business to that next level — my hope is you will remember my team at Predictive ROI and we will get a call from you. But until that day comes — you’re going to get it all for free in order to help you move onward to that next level. And you need to do the same — in long form — with your Dream 50 — each and every week. Just like I am doing with you right now. Whether you have your own podcast — or maybe you love video and you want to have a remarkable YouTube channel — or you love to write so your blog is going to be the next must-read on the Internet — it doesn’t matter what medium or social media platform you choose — just choose one and begin going long. So, let’s dig deeper in what I mean by going long — or long form. And yes, there is a time and place for short posts — Facebook Live videos — Instagram stories — short content is awesome. And in today’s attention starved society — short can be great. Let’s take something else from Jay Baer and call these short pieces of content…little info snacks. But, no amount of info snacks replaces the meal that long form content provides your audience. It is only through long form that you can share the true depth of your expertise and short info snacks cannot possibly match it. It is through long form that you can really open yourself up to your Dream 50 — show them who you are — where you come from — what you believe — your values — and where you draw inspiration from. Why is this important to your Dream 50? Because as John Jantsch explains in his brilliant book “Ducktape Marketing”…the conversion or decision-making path is all about someone getting to know you — then liking you — then trusting you — then trying you out — then buying from you — then repeating the purchase — and then becoming your brand ambassador by telling the world. So using long form content to help your Dream 50 move along this decision-making path — at their own speed and pace — is one of the best sales and marketing strategies you can implement for your business. Here, let me make this a bit more concrete with a new business development example. Last week…during one of my biz dev calls with a prospective client for Predictive ROI — I was amazed at the immediate rapport we felt at the beginning of our call. It was electric — as if she already knew me — like we were long lost friends — and not that this was our first phone call. During our conversation, I mentioned my family in passing and she jumped on it — and proceeded to tell me how she knew just how important family is to me — how I learned my entrepreneurial lessons from my grandfather and so on. And then she cited several Onward Nation episodes as the source for where she learned all about me. I was blown away and it felt awesome. Impact, Onward Nation. Or, last Friday…on another biz dev call…our prospective client shared with me that he had checked me out — had done his homework — and felt confident he knew me as a person because of the podcast and the quality of people I spend time with — the incredible guests on our show. Rock solid awesome — always great to hear. And earlier today — we received word that the prospective client had agreed to join forces with Predictive ROI so our team will now be in the trenches with their team to launch an incredible podcast so they can share the same long form love with their own Dream 50. Going long with your Dream also helps you build your platform — your profile as a business person — as an expert — as the go-to-person in your industry. Yesterday, at the end of an interview with a guest, he called me the world’s leading authority on business-to-business podcasting. I thanked him for the amazing compliment, then quickly disagreed with him, but it felt awesome to hear something like that. So why did he say something like that to me? Because the Onward Nation podcast has increased my personal brand equity to the point he felt it was an accurate assessment. And because of the show — I get to hang out on a daily basis with some of the top business owners in the country and around the world. Last week, I interviewed Kevin Harrington from Shark Tank and the inventor of the infomercial. Amazing conversation — and when I have let people know about the time I spent with Kevin — I get an eyebrow raise and a high five. Why? Because there is a small transference of Kevin’s credibility over to me — and that helps my personal brand. By the way — we air Kevin’s episode one week from today — and he is off the charts amazing. But here’s a little secret…you can do the same thing. There is nothing unique and special about what we are doing — the only difference between me and the other 98% of business owners is that I stand up and ask — I make the ask to our guests — and then have the guts to do a great interview. That’s it, Onward Nation. You can do the exact same thing. To prove the point…I urge you to go back to Episode 3 and listen to Stacey Alcorn share her story of how 5-years ago she had zero social circles — she didn’t know any movers and shakers but she did have a desire. So she started a blog — ever so slowly — and now — several years later — she is doing wine tasting on a Thursday afternoon with Kevin O’Leary from Shark Tank while they were both in Boston. What??? The difference between Stacey and other real estate brokers in her marketplace — is that Stacey decided to go long — to create a blog — to create excellent long-form content — and then to use it to share the love with her Dream 50 — and — as the ultimate business card to get in front of the key influencers she wanted to meet. Oh, and Stacey just shared some photos of her recent adventure hanging out with Sir Richard Branson on his private island — yes, his private island. Stacey started with nothing — but — she decided she could be more and has used long form content as her strategy to get it. Here are some other thoughts to consider on the topic of long form. By building your personal platform through long-form content, you will also help your core business grow organically. The most content you create — the more expertise you share — the more you give away — the more you stay in the consciousness of your Dream 50 — the more likely your core business will grow as a result. Predictive ROI — my core business — has grown as a result of Onward Nation — and the core businesses of all our clients — have grown as a result of their podcasts and their weekly long-form content, too. In fact, I was catching up with one of our Predictive clients earlier today and he told me that his podcast has already generated $50,000 in new business to his company. $50,000, Onward Nation! As a result of the success of Onward Nation, we are now producing 20 podcasts for the business owners of other professional service firms. These owners saw what we were doing — the synergy between Onward Nation and our core business of Predictive ROI — and wanted to learn more. When they did — they wanted us to help them apply the same long form content strategy into their business — and now they are growing as a result of the love they are sharing consistently with their Dream 50 and giving away their best content for free. But you must be willing to go long. Going long gives you an opportunity to get real and authentic with your audience — to really let them in — just like I let you in, Onward Nation. There have been times when I am with a guest, and the stories are so emotional, that I tear up…or I get goosebumps, and I share with you how I am feeling — and sure that may be too much for some of you…but that is me. I tend to wear my emotions on my sleeve — and generally my view of the world is AWESOME — but the reality is that not everything is rock solid awesome 100 percent of the time…and I think it is okay to let your audience see that…so they know you are human. Your platform also creates a conduit of trust between you and your Dream 50. I share stories about my family — how my grandparents immigrated here from Greece and Turkey — how they struggled as entrepreneurs through the Great Depression — how they gritted it out — and how we as kids learned those same lessons — and how my entrepreneurial DNA was sharpened — oddly — to razor’s edge while I worked on nuclear missiles while in the Air Force. I have shared some of biggest failures — moments that have made me want to run and hide — and yet — I have shared them with you. Why? Because you cannot hide behind the curtain, Onward Nation if you are truly trying to build trust and authenticity with your audience. We cannot love someone in slices…so yes…I have failed…many times…I have made mistakes that have cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars…and each time it happened…I wanted to puke in the nearest trash can. And now I share those stories with you so you can hopefully avoid the same mistakes — and along the way — realize that I have been in that trench, too. And someday, if we are sitting across the dinner table together — you will have all of that context and that creates rapport like nothing else can, Onward Nation. So — please take today’s message — think about what I said — and decide to go long with your Dream 50 at least once a week. Launch a podcast, create a YouTube channel, dominate Medium, be the next Insta king or queen, find the platform that syncs up with your skill set the best — and do it. Don’t wait. Do it. And yes, your content might not win any awards or even recognition at first. But that is part of the process. Want a litmus test? Go and watch Episode 1 of Gary Vaynerchuk’s Wine Library TV. It’s not good — the lighting is bad — the structure is bad — and he is experimenting — and that is what makes it absolutely priceless. He could have never gotten to Episode 1,000 if he had never started at number 1. And that is why I love #1, way more than Episode 1,000 — I respect Gary’s journey, his hard work, and the grit it took to get to 1,000 — and the courage it took to launch # 1. And then recognize you don’t — and maybe you shouldn’t do this — on your own. You will need a support team around you. And I don’t mean you need to hire an agency to do this for you. Instead, recruit several unpaid interns to help you with audio, or design, or content…but begin building out your team…so you can focus on content and taking great care of your Dream 50. Get started, Onward Nation. Go long with your Dream 50 and it will be a game changer for your business in 2017. So with that…I want to say thank you again for taking the time to be here with me today. It is an honor to have you here — thank you for tuning in. I want you to know how much I appreciate you sharing some of your invaluable 86,400 seconds you have in your day with me and the strategies we learn and share each day from today’s top business owners. And please continue to let me know what you think of Onward Nation…good or bad…I always want your feedback. Hit me up on Twitter or LinkedIn — or stop by our Predictive ROI Facebook page — and let us know what you think of the show — thumbs up or thumbs down. Either way — we want to know. Your feedback will help us get better. And remember…you can always email me at stephen@onwardnation.com and I reply to every single message. So please let us know how you think we are doing. I look forward to hearing from you. We will be back tomorrow with an incredible interview with Wes Pinkston — likely one of the most thought-provoking, profound, and counterintuitive conversations we have ever had her at Onward Nation. You will not want to miss Wes’s lesson of how to avoid complexification. Until then, onward with gusto!
