In this episode of the Managing Uncertainty Podcast, Bryghtpath Principal and Chief Executive Bryan Strawser talks through personal, family, and business preparedness for this year's hurricane season. Topics discussed include personal & family preparedness, DHS's Ready Campaign, and actions that businesses should take to ensure they and their teams are prepared for the season ahead of us.

This is Bryan Strawser, principal and chief executive here at Bryghtpath and we are in week one of hurricane season 2020 for the Atlantic Ocean. This hurricane season runs June 1st to November 30th. I want to take some time here on this podcast episode to talk about hurricane season, how you can make sure that your employees are personally prepared, and what some things that you can do to prepare your business as well. You may not know this. I had forgotten this when I was looking at this morning, but there are actually three hurricane seasons. The Eastern Pacific hurricane season started May 15th runs through November 30th. The Atlantic hurricane season starts June 1st and runs through November 30th, and the Central Pacific hurricane season, here. We're talking about like Hawaii for example, that season runs June 1st to November 30th. Of course, most hurricanes that we're typically worried about, the strongest hurricanes in history have been in the Atlantic and then impacting the east coast of the United States from Maine all the way down to the Southernmost tip of Florida. Of course, the US Virgin Islands and other territories in the Caribbean, as we saw with hurricane season just three years ago. I want to divide this conversation into two parts. The part that we want to make sure that individuals are preparing for, and then the things we want to make sure that businesses are preparing for as a part of that. As a business leader that works in business continuity and crisis management and resiliency or related fields, you want to make sure you're doing both because if your team is prepared and their families are safe, then it's easier for you to work with your team to recover your business operations. If they're not prepared personal, family, local, community, then you're going to have challenges getting those folks to come in and help you recover your business operations. In my mind, the best place to send employees to learn about hurricanes is the US Department of Homeland Security's ready campaign website. This is developed with FEMA, which is part of DHS of course. You can find great information on a number of different emergency situations, including hurricanes at ready.gov. I'm going to kind of recap for you some of the personal and family preparedness steps that are on this website at ready.gov/hurricanes. The first is to make sure that your team understands the hurricane risk. That they understand how rain, wind, water could impact them. It's important to point out that this isn't just what we think of as traditional hurricane zones. I'm recording this episode on the 9th of June 2020. I live in Minnesota, just near the twin cities in Minneapolis and St. Paul. We are going to be impacted by tropical storm Cristobal which is currently moving through the Southern United States. So even way up here by Canada where we're at, you can have impact from tropical storms and hurricanes depending upon how they move through the country as they impact the US. So first is to make sure folks understand rain, wind, water. What that impact could look like. The second is to make sure that your employees have an emergency plan. That everyone in their household understands their emergency plan and how that would impact their family, their extended family, their children, their pets. That they have a plan on how they would evacuate and where they would go. The next part of that is to make sure that they have supplies for their household. Medication, cleaning supplies, because we're still in the COVID-19 pandemic, face coverings, masks, pet supplies, food and water for three days. These supplies that might be necessary to sustain yourselves at home until life saving assistance can arrive, or because they need to get somewhere. Maybe the home could be damaged and they need to go live with a relative or get to a relative in another state. The fourth is to make is to think about people with disabilities if there's anyone in their household that has a disability. What other help they may need, and to make sure that they've documented that and made an arrangement for that in their plan. The next is to know their evacuation zone. In a hurricane, you may have to evacuate very quickly. It's important to know what those zones look like. They're all planned in advance and to know the routes. How can they get there? And it's not a bad idea to practice. Can we be ready to go in two hours? Are our supplies bagged and packaged so that we can do it? Next is to make sure that your employees know how to get warnings and alerts. FEMA helps make this easy by using the FEMA app, which will let them get real-time alerts from the National Weather Service for up to five different places in the United States. Then they can also sign up for community alerts and get information from local emergency management and public health and government authorities when things happen. You want your employees to prepare their documentation. That they have insurance documents and personal documents like IDs and they have copies of these and they keep them in a secure, password-protected digital space, but also keep hard copies of this documentation as well. They can strengthen their homes by looking at their drains and gutters and bringing in any outside furniture. In some areas, even hurricane shutters may be appropriate. My parents lived for a long time in Jacksonville, Florida, and had hurricane shutters when they built their home and used them on more than one occasion as hurricanes came through. Employees should make sure they're tech ready by keeping their cell phone charged and perhaps having backup charging devices. There are solar chargers now. There are extra batteries that you can purchase. Even if your cell phone doesn't let you swap batteries, like I'm an Apple user, but I can buy a battery pack and plug that baby in and be able to keep my cell phone charged where I need to. Your employee should also look at how they can help their neighbors. Check-in with their neighbors and senior adults and others who might need additional help. Then lastly for small businesses, which we kind of put in with the family and personal preparedness, to make sure that businesses have a continuity plan that allows them to continue operating when disaster strikes. So again, you can find all this on ready.gov/hurricanes. The most important thing about all of this is when the hurricane begins to approach that folks are listening to emergency information and alerts. That when they are told to evacuate, that they do so immediately. That they evacuate on the timeline provided by local authorities and that they stay informed. They keep an eye on what's going on and make sure they make the right decisions to protect their family, their neighborhood, their local community, and their pets. Certainly, make sure you take your pets with you when you leave. So for personal preparedness, those are some great steps. Again, you can find those at ready.gov/hurricanes. Now I want to shift gears and talk a little bit about business preparedness with hurricane season coming on. I think the most important thing here is to make sure that you're thinking about your preparedness steps now before we have a major hurricane or tropical storm really impact where you're operating. Now is the time to prepare. Not five days out from landfall of the first-named storm of the year, but now is the time to make sure that you have your ducks in a row. That you've got the plans and documentation and exercises, your practice, your drills, that all of that is knocked out in this left of boom stage and our preparedness stage so that when something happens, we're able to respond like clockwork as we go through that. So, there's a lot of things you have to think about planning for when it comes to business as we think about hurricane season. One is to make sure that we have a good understanding of the kind of impacts that your team and your local communities will see from hurricanes. We expect even when areas are not directly impacted, that employees and their families and extended families and even their neighbors can be in harm's way to some extent. Their properties certainly will be. A lot of employees will have questions about as the storm approaches, what our evacuation process will look like. When are we closing the business in time, want to make sure we do that in time for them to evacuate, but they also start thinking about when we can return home and when can I return to work and how much time will I be given to be able to deal with damage or issues with my home or with my extended family's home? How do they keep in touch with you and your business to make sure that they understand what's going on in terms of returning to work? Another challenge through all of this is the lack of available communications. I mean, we can expect because of wind and power problems that cell phones may not be as workable or reliable as they typically are. We can see the normal phone system be flooded or damaged in a way that simply doesn't work. So we're not able to rely upon it. We'll also find our employees have to deal with post-storm or really complex state and federal assistance process in order to get access to emergency funds from both the state and the federal government. So these are all challenges that you may have to work through in the course of responding to a hurricane. Then of course as I said at the start of the podcast, our experience has taught us that personal and family preparedness effort by your employees and supported by you and your efforts really make a huge difference in the individual resiliency of employees. After all, if they're resilient as a family, then they're more likely to return to work quickly and help you get your business back up and running quickly. One of the main things as an employer is to really make sure that you're closing your facilities in time, in advance of the storm in a way that both let you protect your assets, but also let your team protect themselves. That they're able to evacuate and get up the evacuation routes in time. You'll also want to think about your disaster pay and assistance programs with your human resources team. What do you do if your facility has got to be closed and folks who are scheduled to work can't work because you've shut it down? They're depending upon that income. How will you handle that kind of emergency situation there? Will you compensate them? Will you have an emergency fund they can draw from? Will you let them use their sick leave? These are all possibilities and actions that you can do. When it comes to information in terms of free information, there's no better place than the National Hurricane Center, which is part of the National Weather Service and NOAA. You can find that online Just Google National Hurricane Center and that'll take you there. You also want to make sure you're plugged into your state and local emergency management. There's probably some way almost, every state has a way, state and city have ways for you to connect in terms of a public-private partnership program and get access to information. I would look for that within your state. For example, Florida has a very highly active public-private partnership program. They do a great job of coordinating and communicating with the private sector, with businesses large and small across the state. Find ways to plugin. You can also plug into FEMA's National Business Emergency Operations Center. I believe that's fema.gov/NBEOC or just Google FEMA National Business Emergency Operations Center. They're holding calls all the time. They're sharing information. They ask questions. They want to make sure that you as a business leader have the information that you need in order to prepare for a storm and then make plans to respond and recover the business. They're one of the best sources of information and one of the best places to get your questions answered. These are all good examples of strategies that are used by successful companies that are resilient, that work through hurricanes and storms and let them be able to respond and recover and then get right back to business as usual, get their business back up and running very quickly, and get right back into the mix of normal business operations, which is our goal is as we go through hurricane season. So these are some of the factors we see with successful companies as hurricane season comes in. For individuals again, the most important thing is to make sure your vehicle's fueled. You've got things in your vehicle. You got your emergency supplies ready to go like food and water. Whether you've got bottled water or containers for water, along with your luggage and other things. Keep your vehicle fueled, pay close attention to communication from your local emergency management emergency services personnel such as police and fire, emergency management, and others. When they tell you to evacuate, if they tell you to evacuate, don't hesitate. Load and go and make sure that you move on from there. Here at Bryghtpath we have very extensive experience in managing large scale hurricanes, such as the 2017 hurricane season. We do provide a number of services you might find useful. Those include custom monitoring and weather reporting. We use a lot of open source and proprietary resources to give you a full picture of the current threat and impact to your organization. We build specific branded situational updates and executive briefings on the hurricane. These are written situational updates on a regular cadence that you set that consolidate hundreds of pages of information into a tightly written summary of the current on the ground situation that you're facing. We can do these in a way where they're branded for your organization, have custom content. We can integrate your internal data and other updates. We really think of these as the best way to know what's happening in that threatened and impacted area. We also do executive and crisis team briefings that can be delivered via video conference or through online video formats, where you can see us providing an update on the situation, and then it has targeted information for your organization. That can be one way, or it can be a two-way conversation. Lastly, we're just a great trusted crisis management advisor. We perform that role for a number of Fortune 500 organizations lending our decades of crisis management experience and communications during their critical moment. During a hurricane like we've seen in the last few years, we're really customizing our advice to the specific needs of your company. The service commonly includes 24/7 access to our team, participation in your internal calls and meetings, connectivity to key internal and external partners, and most importantly problem solving with your team because we've been through this situation, the hurricane situation, many times. If you're interested in learning more about our hurricane crisis management services as the season continues, you can learn more at bryghtpath.com/hurricanes, or just give us a call at (612) 235-6435. That's it for this edition of the Managing Uncertainty podcast. We'll be back next week with another new episode. Be well.

Free and cheap isn't always good. Free and cheap fitness is always an attractive option, but there's a major downside to it that most people don't often consider. What have you got to lose? We have, somehow, been conditioned to look for the cheapest thing when we're embarking on a fitness journey. The more stuff you'll give us, the bigger the gym, and the lower the price tag - the more we like it. We judge a gym's value on how much we get and how little we can pay. And if you want to "lock us in" to a contract? Forget it. And we find a gym that fits the bill and we think we're up and running! Really, we've set ourselves up for failure...

The list of obstacles never shrinks. If it's not one thing, it's another. Now, it seems, our own brains are working against us in our health & fitness efforts. But how, exactly? And how do we fight back? No, friend - you are mistaken. Health and fitness is always, it seems, harder than it has to be. If it's not one thing working against us, so we believe, it's another. Often times this is merely our perception and not, in fact, the truth. More often than not, the universe is not working against us - we simply feel that it is. We feel that we have an impossibly tall mountain to climb in order to get where we want to be. We feel that despite our best efforts there is simply too much in the way and though we WANT to, we simply cannot achieve our goals. I am here to tell you, friend - you are mistaken. This is simply how we feel, but in the usual course of things it is not a concrete fact. The universe is not working against you - it just feels that way. The stresses and pressures of life can often SEEM insurmountable, but I'm here to tell you, that you can, in fact, overcome it. You're not ENTIRELY wrong, though. While the Universe itself (with a capital "U") is not working against you, there are certain elements that are - and they're much closer to home than the grand idea of the "Universe". Your own brain and body, as a matter of fact, may be working against you in regard to your health and fitness. We discussed this in terms of your body when we talked about "Set-Point Theory" in episode 83 of the podcast. Recently I discovered that your brain does something eerily similar, albeit in a different fashion. It's just trying to help. The human brain is a truly incredible thing. It's incredibly powerful and is capable of so many things - it can even physically influence the body! That said, despite it's many marvels, there is simply a LOT of information to process each and every day. In order to be able to deal with it all and have you and I able to be functioning members of the world, it's developed ways - shortcuts, really - to help it process information. Your brain uses these "shortcuts" to help you make decisions and judgements. This, FitFriends, is where we begin to get into trouble. This is just the tip of the iceberg. This is a very long, involved conversation that requires much more of a deep dive than a blog post is going to be able to go. This topic is one of the many reasons I'm glad I have a podcast - I can discuss in 40 minutes what I can't necessarily blog about. So, please do give a listen to episode 91 of the podcast (linked below) where we do more of a deep dive on these mental shortcuts and how they get us into trouble. We're establishing a base here so we can have further, more specific conversations later. It's all very relevant to your health & fitness efforts, and I hope you'll find yourself able to deal with, and ultimately save yourself from, falling into some of these traps that we don't even realize we're stepping into.

What's in this episode:  We talk procrastination and National Running Day How things have been going lately Friend of the show Ben’s ride in the Great Cycle Challenge And we have a rather in-depth conversation about heuristics, cognitive bias, and how our brain may be inadvertently sabotaging our fitness efforts.

Self-service is important not just for you, but for those around you. Join me in this episode to refresh your mindset in how taking care of yourself is actually helping those in your life. IN THIS EPISODE 0:20 It is awesome to have you here today. Because you're here and because I love you and because I want you to take care of yourself, we're going to talk about self-service. How to nurture your tribe by taking care of yourself first. 0:46 Let me tell you what I mean - so often we are people pleasers. That's our primary concern and we are empathetic. We can tell the emotions of other people and tend to pick those up. You might be on the phone with someone and they aren't saying something, but you know something is wrong. You end up asking them what's going on and then end up offering your gift of time or doing something outside of your zone of genius. You want to help them out so you end up working on something like tech. Samantha Johnston is the one you want to call, not me. But clients have asked me and I end up spending time working with them to help them out, and yes, I can do it, but it pulls us away from what we should have been working on. At the end of the day, while I'm reflecting on my day, I realize it was a disservice to them because I wasn't able to serve myself because I could have helped them in my zone of genius. 3:39 It happens in our life. You have someone in your life who is an energy vampire, you know who it is, and you get off the phone with someone and you realize you missed out on time with your kids because you were trying to help someone. There are those people who will ask you to listen to the same story, they will continue to go through the same cycles and same patterns of negativity. Yes, should be a good friend, but those around you are affected by the decision you make in how you spend your time and giving away your energy. 5:26 If you listen to the last episode I did with Dana Malstaff of the Boss Mom Movement, she mentioned self-service a few times such as her love language, her need for affirmation and how she does things that bring her love. At her retreats, she has karaoke because she wants to be the voice of a Disney character. She also knows that people getting vulnerable together in this way it builds relationships. When you expose yourself, you look to those around you, it releases oxytocin and dopamine by looking for affirmation from those around you it builds community. 7:30 If you are putting yourself first, and I don't mean in a selfish way, tuning into yourself and incorporating those things into your business and connecting with your tribe then it's a good thing. When you feel good about your business, it helps you better help your tribe by feeling good, abundant and joyful in a good way, then you'll attract more people. That's the law of attraction. If you want people to love you for your happiness, you have to start with yourself. You have to discover what fills you up and do them. You have to declutter what it is that no longer serves you in your life. You might need to set new boundaries in your business, dropping something in your business that no longer serve you, creating a time limit on how much time you're going to give the energy vampires in your life. It's super important in every area of your life. 10:21 You know the old saying "if she ain't happy, ain't no one happy", "happy wife, happy life" - if you aren't happy then you can't make those around you happy. If you want to change the world and the lives of those around you, you have to start with you. If you do them on the regular, do the things that you love to do at home and in your business. Find those who like doing what you don't like doing and partner with them. If you're still bootstrapping, maybe batch those things you don't like, then you're only crabby one day. 12:19 I'd love to know what ah hah's you've had, come on over to the Profit Party Facebook group and talk about it. And if you want to get more of that, we're doing so much mindset work in the Profit Party Academy so that we can declutter limiting beliefs and figure out what your clients want so you can feel good about what you're charging in a price exchange. I coach live every week, and if you want to learn more about it, go to the website and you can schedule a 15-minute call with me to see if it's the right fit for you.

Do you believe in coincidences or do you think random things just happen? In this episode, I am talking about coincidences, or in my opinion, the universe talking to you. Join the conversation with me. IN THIS EPISODE 0:17 Do you believe in coincidences? Are the things that happen around us coincidence or is it our inner guidance system telling us we're going to be ok? Or gently nudging us to get back on our path? 0:58 The other day I was having kind of a funky day and I was all in my head. I had a conversation with my husband but at a point, he said he wasn't sure what was happening in my head. I felt better after talking to him, but still a little bit in my head. I decided to submerse myself in cooking dinner and turn on the radio. I turned on Pandora and the song on the radio was Christina Perry's 1,000 Years. My husband looked at me and noticed it. That's the song I played at my stepmother's funeral and I'm choosing to believe that's her saying that you're doing enough. 2:42 I want to know, is it just me that this happens to all the time? Like angel numbers. There are some days when I am in my head and in a funk. So I asked in the Profit Party and got an "oh yeah." It's like someone from the other side who has passed on is saying "I love you." Or it's a sign from the universe, your energy, a hug from a higher being that says "you're okay." 4:59 When you stop believing these things are not coincidences, you start believing that everything has a purpose. It's not just something that happens, it's a sign. It's telling you something and if you tune in and listen, you'll know what that message is. It's always the exact thing you need to hear in that time. 6:04 So I want to know, what is your sign. Is it you seeing a cardinal all those times? Is it a butterfly? Or is it random things that happen when they need to? 6:37 Do you believe that the whole universe is conspiring for you? Hop over to the Profit Party community and let's talk about it. If you know someone who needs to hear this message, forward it over to her. Let her hear that she too is enough and she's doing everything she needs to.

Her goal is to inspire 10,000 people which is what led her to start the Do What You Really Love! summit. 6:59 She says everyone has a passion. You can find your passion. To Nathalie, the definition of the word passion is if you're passionate about something, it means to build a life that you want. You will have a bunch of elements in life and you can follow those to find the true path to purpose. 10:06 Your passions will change throughout life. Think about all the proponents that create your life and write down what you're passionate about. Think about it as "when my life is ideal, I am having __________." You don't want to create something you don't want to live out. 11:30 Intention, attention and no tension. The power of intention and being clear about what you want. Once you find your passion, set the intention and become clear about what you want. Attention - take actions to getting to where you want. No tension - there is a force that will help you get where you want to be. Nathalie says her way of living is to set her attention for what she wants or something better. 16:25 You need to focus on what you really want in life because there is so many distractions in life. Nathalie ranks her passions and uses her top 5 passions which guide her. She uses her passions to filter her life. If choices don't match up with her passions, she won't do things. 19:10 If you have a passion, it's because there's something there that you can build a business around. There is a niche or a market for it. By telling yourself that there is business, you need to not tell yourself that, but go back and set an intention around that business idea. You create what you want to create in your life. 21:42 The Do What You Really Love! has a lot of great people joining Nathalie on her summit. Her criteria for her contributors have gone through very painful things and who have come through them and overcome those to live the dream they want. With their stories, they've built what they want to have. 25:31 We are in the world to make an impact, don't let go of the dream to make an impact. Ask for help. Because we need to be together. The power and energy we have right now on the planet are about co-creation and if we are together, we can move mountains.

Let's talk about getting things done. Are you living a "someday" life? Before we answer that question, I want you to answer this question: When I _________,  then I'll __________. What are the first few things you think of? Hop on in to find out what to do with this. IN THIS EPISODE 0:42 What are you putting off and procrastinating about? What are you freaking out about? What is it that's stopping you from doing what you want? 1:18 I hear all the time when I get more experience, I'll pitch a podcast. Or when I have more time, I'll write that book, I'll plan that retreat. When I do this, I'll do this. 2:41 What are you putting off? What if tomorrow never comes or you don't get that chance with someone? When tomorrow comes and life keeps piling up and you never really get a hold of your calendar. What do you need to do today to make a change that you will be proud of? That one baby step change that will get you to a level 10 on the emotional scale that will make you unstoppable. 5:09 I challenge you to make a commitment to do one thing because making a commitment releases dopamine, the hormone that gives you a rush. Go on Facebook, make a phone call, make the commitment and share it with someone. 6:42 When you tell someone about the commitment, you create a bond and release oxytocin. And then you have an accountability partner. 7:13 What happens when you win? You release more dopamine and when you celebrate together, you release more oxytocin. That's why it's important to take one step. 7:30 We are getting high on these chemicals at this party. That's why it's important to take one step that will get you to the level 10. You can continue to get rushes of feel good feelings and that's how you get it done. It takes the scary out of it and makes it easy and prevents you from living a "someday" life. 9:18 Let's do this together. I'd love to encourage you and be your cheerleader. Come over and share in the Profit Party Facebook group.

Think about something you really want. Are you trying to manifest it and it just does not seem to be working? In this episode, I dig into what you might be doing wrong as you're manifesting and what you CAN do right. IN THIS EPISODE 0:19 Do you feel like you're messing up your manifesting. Maybe you're not specific enough or you're too specific. Do you ever think you're being too much of a diva. 1:19 I've got clients who tell me they're worried they're being too specific and they're starting to turn into a diva. A woman, Nicole, had asked this question in the Facebook group. She's got a picture of a piano on her vision board and shortly after that, she was offered a piano but it was too big and too old. The truth is, you can only ask for what you want if you know what you want. 3:01 Think about it like dating. If you were going to tell your friends that you really want a boyfriend. They all have a boyfriend for you and it's probably not the right one. But if you tell them exactly what you're looking for, then they can keep their eyes open. Manifesting works the same way. You have to flush out what you don't really want so you can get clear on what you do want. 4:38 If the universe sends you something and it wasn't really what you wanted, say no thanks, I'm saving myself for something better. 5:15 When you write things down or put things on a vision board, it helps your mind to focus on what you really want and be really specific. 6:16 Visualize what you want as if it's a daydream. Imagine yourself seeing it, tasting it and touching it. You mind doesn't know the difference between a dream and a reality. And then it sends those vibes into the universe. 7:19 It wasn't too much later after Nicole's first post, that she updated us and posted she got her piano. 7:34 When the universe sends you something you don't want, give yourself grace and don't beat yourself up. Simply say no thank you and tell it what you want with more detail. The whole thing is emotion. If you feel guilty or doubt, then you'll mess up your vibe. Appreciate the universe is doing it's job. Keep doing what you do and it will deliver. 9:48 If you've got a good manifesting story, come over to the Profit Party group and share them with us! [bctt tweet="Manifesting is like dating.

Have you ever wondered what it looks like to have a 4-hour work week? Well, I found out the hard way and I'm here to tell you about a few mindset shifts I had and what I learned in the process. IN THIS EPISODE 2:10 In this time of being away from my business and having to take a break because of illness, this experience made me realize that I've got some emotional blocks around abandoning my tribe. This was something I thought I'd dealt with before and I want to share them with you. 3:29 Thinking and having gratitude for my team was something that was important this week. Not only did they continue to do their jobs, but they did my job too. The way they made me feel loved and cared for floored me. Building a team is not the easiest thing, but when you find those people and take the time to facilitate those relationships is worth the time. 5:37 If time and financial freedom are important to you, who do you have on your team? If you got sick, would they be able to run the business? 6:18 I had to deal with the feeling of not being needed and that goes back to some self-sabotage. We have four needs, we have the need for significance and having that four hour work week made me a little sad that I wasn't able to talk to people. I had to do some mindset work on this feeling. I had to realize that it's not about one person and their value, but the value of the tribe. I got to watch this unravel in my Facebook tribe as others shared stories and advice. 9:41 As a business owner, you want to see your clients walk away with value, even if it's not something they're paying for. This four hour work week has allowed me to step back and see the big picture of what I've created. Wow, it was rewarding. 10:59 If you currently have a team, take time today to thank them, love them, buy them a gift. They're really the bread and butter of what you're creating. Put it in your budget to buy them gifts. If you don't have a team, identify what you want to outsource and start that process. 13:09 What are the things that you're doing in your business that you absolutely love, why do you do what you do? If it's the interaction and the face to face, you're probably going to always want that. If you're building passive income, you still want to have that face to face so you don't lose that thing that light you up and make you happy.

Building an online business means that you need to build trust and credibility. So how do you do that? Well, I'm giving you 10 ways to do that in this episode to give your business a boost! IN THIS EPISODE 0:16 I'm the mother of teen boys and in their world, there's this thing happening called reselling and I'm watching my entrepreneurial boys get into this. They're watching certain companies release 50 or 100 of certain products. You enter into a raffle to buy and then some of them you get to turn around and sell them on sites. 1:31 It's been a very interesting experience as a spectator to watch my sons and their friends go through this process as they've had to learn the hard way that you can't just send someone an item and wait for a check to come in the mail. They don't ask and they trust the first time. 3:00 It's that experience of getting hurt and jaded from the first time when someone doesn't send money. It's our subconscious that is protecting us from experiencing those feelings again. 3:33 You, as an online business owner, take that into consideration. You might have a pretty website with pretty pictures, but how do people know they can trust you. It's about taking the extra time and consideration to build that relationship. 4:20 You can establish an instant report with someone face to face. When there's distance between you, you have to know it's going to take a little bit of time. 5:12 There are 10 things you can do to start to boost your business. I know you have an online business, and you have reasons why you don't want to go out and do networking events. But that doesn't mean you should stay home behind your computer. You should go out to networking events and share your elevator pitch with someone who will find someone who actually thinks of a great client for you. 7:32 Girlfriend, get out there and network. My goal for you is to get out and network at least once a month. 8:20 The next best thing is online virtual coffee chats. It's almost as good as in person. Learn from the person you're talking with and network through them. Aim to have five coffee chats a week. If that's ambitious, aim for one or two. 9:47 Being vulnerable online will also build your credibility. If you come across as perfect, people will start to wonder what you're hiding. If you're open with your weaknesses or failures, people are going to be more drawn to you because you become relatable at that point. You're building a connection. 12:00 Social proof can be thought of as good gossip. People talk about people and you know that gossip is in abundance everywhere. Never say an ill word about people, but instead be that person who always has someone's back. Stand up for others and offer another perspective. It allows people to see you're trustworthy. We want people around us who are trustworthy, especially in the business context. 15:06 Connect people to each other. Take good notes when you're at networking events and you see someone who does something that others need. Be a facilitator and connector. People appreciate that and the law of reciprocity says that we owe someone who does something for us. When you connect others, you'll be seen as someone who is a trustworthy person. 17:00 Have a low-risk offer that someone can buy if they've just found you on the internet. Think about how someone can try you before they buy you. Give them a chance to get to know you. Tripwires and optins don't make sense for every business. Take a step back and ask yourself what people need from you and build up your offer around this for your business. 18:56 Show up. Don't just when you're launching, or when you're promoting something, but be present and easily accessible. 20:42 Add value and inspiration. If your schedule is really hectic, take a few minutes and schedule time to interact and be present then leave. 21:53 Be consistent, which might not always be possible, but the more consistent you can be the better. It goes with showing up, they know where you are. 22:34 Treat your tribe like your BFF. Respond and interact as if someone was right in front of you. The online world has made it easy to take the tone out of things, but I want my personality and tone to come out in my correspondence. If I were in person with you, there would be body language, in the written form you can't always communicate that so I use emojis and exclamation points. I want the people in my world and space to know I care about them. [bctt tweet="Show up online, add value and be consistent in your presence." username="tonyarineer"] KEY TAKEAWAYS When there's distance between you, you have to know it's going to take a little bit of time to establish a relationship. Girlfriend, get out there and network. Think about how you want to show up and how you want others to think of you. Connect others. Show up online, add value and be consistent in your presence. People will not have to look elsewhere for what you offer.
