Get ready for a powerhouse episode as Ted Miller III joins Tyler Jorgenson on BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio! Ted has helped over 25,000 entrepreneurs double their sales, co-built a $100M business with Chet Holmes, and partnered with legends like Tony Robbins, Jay Abraham, and Russell Brunson. But don't let the names fool you—Ted brings humor, heart, and a whole lot of real talk about what it actually takes to grow a business. From blue-collar roots to the boardroom, Ted's story is anything but ordinary.Ted breaks down the real story behind strategic alliances, the truth about JV deals, and why motives matter more than marketing tactics. You'll hear insider tales from the early days with Chet Holmes, the Dream 100 strategy that helped fuel ClickFunnels' explosive growth, and how Ted's unique approach to workshops (not webinars!) leads to unreal conversion rates—think 30%+ sustained over 20 years. If you're chasing “easy riches” via automation and affiliates, Ted's about to hit you with some serious entrepreneurial reality.The episode is packed with gems—from the KPE (Key Points of Execution) framework that helps CEOs stay focused, to the importance of building a board of advisors that's both fun and profitable. Whether you're building your first funnel or scaling your million-dollar empire, this episode will entertain, educate, and fire you up to go do something epic. Ethical bribes, off-roading in the wilderness, and showering in rivers with your kid? Yeah… this one's got it all.Key TakeawaysWebinars are dead—long live workshops! Forget stale presentations and one-way monologues. Connection and heartfelt delivery in small, intentional groups convert better and build lasting impact.You want legendary partnerships? Be legendary first. JV deals and alliances with top-tier players aren't for the faint of heart or skill. Bring unmatched value, and then swing big.Systematize for freedom, not control. Entrepreneurs often resist structure, but focusing on your top three Key Points of Execution (KPEs) creates space, profitability, and the life you started your business to build.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Ted Miller III01:43 The Early Entrepreneurial Spark04:03 First Steps into Business Ownership06:30 The Power of Strategic Alliances12:47 Transitioning from Employee to Business Owner16:54 Webinars and Modern Sales Techniques22:11 Creating a Sales Vortex28:13 Personal Goals and Family Time

Transcript:Hu: A húsvéti szünet volt.En: It was the Easter break.Hu: A nap melegen sütött Budapestre, és a százéves épület homlokzatánál a Természettudományi Múzeum szélesen tárt kapukkal várta a látogatókat.En: The sun shone warmly on Budapest, and the hundred-year-old building façade of the Természettudományi Múzeum welcomed visitors with wide-open gates.Hu: A tavaszi szellő virágillatot hozott az utcán.En: The spring breeze brought the scent of flowers down the street.Hu: Gábor, egy dolgos apa, a legjobb alkalmat találta meg, hogy újra közelebb kerüljön Anna és Tamás gyerekeihez.En: Gábor, a hardworking father, found the best opportunity to reconnect with his children, Anna and Tamás.Hu: Gábor kicsit idegesen állt a múzeum előtt.En: Gábor stood a bit nervously in front of the museum.Hu: Munka miatt sokáig távol volt, és most meg akarta mutatni, hogy választhat fontos dolgokat is a családjával.En: He had been away for a long time due to work, and now he wanted to show that he could choose important things with his family.Hu: Anna, a tizenéves lány, már nagyon izgult.En: Anna, the teenage girl, was very excited.Hu: Szerette a paleontológiát, és minden vágya volt látni a dinoszauruszok csontvázait.En: She loved paleontology, and her greatest wish was to see the dinosaur skeletons.Hu: Tamás, a fiatalabb fiú, tele volt energiával, de gyakran érezte, hogy Anna árnyékában van.En: Tamás, the younger boy, was full of energy but often felt overshadowed by Anna.Hu: Ahogy beléptek a múzeumba, Gábor igyekezett mindkettőjük érdeklődését felkelteni.En: As they entered the museum, Gábor tried to pique both of their interests.Hu: "Anna, nézd, ott van a T-Rex csontváza!En: "Anna, look, there's the T-Rex skeleton!"Hu: ” Anna szeme felcsillant.En: Anna's eyes lit up.Hu: Tamás viszont inkább szaladgálni szeretett volna.En: Tamás, on the other hand, preferred to run around.Hu: A sok különbség miatt feszültség alakult ki közöttük.En: Due to their many differences, tension arose between them.Hu: Gábor próbálta kezelni a helyzetet, és közben azon aggódott, hogy újra elront valamit.En: Gábor tried to manage the situation while worrying that he might mess up again.Hu: Gábor megállt egy pillanatra.En: Gábor paused for a moment.Hu: "Mi lenne, ha versenyeznénk, ki talál több érdekes dolgot a kiállításon?En: "How about a race to see who can find more interesting things in the exhibit?"Hu: " javasolta.En: he suggested.Hu: Tamás ezt izgalmasnak találta, és Annának is tetszett az ötlet.En: Tamás found this exciting, and Anna liked the idea too.Hu: Ahogy továbbsétáltak, Gábor külön-külön hívta fel mindkettőjük figyelmét az érdekes dolgokra.En: As they walked further, Gábor individually pointed out interesting things to each of them.Hu: Amikor a dinoszaurusz kiállításhoz értek, Anna meglátott egy ritka fosszíliát.En: When they reached the dinosaur exhibit, Anna spotted a rare fossil.Hu: Felkiáltott örömében.En: She shouted with joy.Hu: Tamás szokásán kívül megállt, és kíváncsian nézte.En: Tamás, unusually, stopped and looked on curiously.Hu: Gábor ekkor jött rá, hogy az érdeklődésük összefonódhat.En: It was then that Gábor realized their interests could intertwine.Hu: Emlékeztette őket, hogy közösen tanulhatnak valamit.En: He reminded them that they could learn something together.Hu: Anna magyarázni kezdett Tamásnak, aki teljesen belemerült nővére lelkesedésébe.En: Anna began explaining to Tamás, who was completely absorbed in his sister's enthusiasm.Hu: A nap végén a család a múzeum kávézójában ült, süteményt falatoztak és felidézték a látottakat.En: At the end of the day, the family sat in the museum café, nibbling on cake and recalling what they had seen.Hu: Gábor boldogan figyelte gyerekeit, akik most sokkal közelebb kerültek hozzá.En: Gábor happily watched his children, who now felt much closer to him.Hu: Gábor aznap megtanulta, hogy tisztelje és ápolja gyermekeinek egyéni érdeklődését.En: That day, Gábor learned to respect and nurture his children's individual interests.Hu: Anna és Tamás pedig megértették, hogy az apjuk tényleg részese akar lenni az életüknek.En: Anna and Tamás understood that their father truly wanted to be a part of their lives.Hu: A múzeumból kilépve új emlékekkel és szorosabb családi kötelékkel távoztak.En: As they left the museum with new memories and stronger family bonds, they felt transformed.Hu: Ahogy a nap lemenő sugaraiban sétáltak haza, Gábor érezte, hogy életükben egy új fejezet kezdődött.En: As they walked home in the setting sun, Gábor felt that a new chapter had begun in their lives.Hu: Az ősi csontok között, a történelmet idéző falak alatt, aznap valami új született: a család egy újfajta együttléte.En: Among the ancient bones, beneath the history-evoking walls, something new was born that day: a new way of being together as a family.

“I don't know what's more exhausting about parenting: the getting up early or acting like you know what you're doing.” – Jim Gaffigan3 Truths About Parenting:Parenting requires HARD WORK.Genesis 3:16a To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children.Raising children is a person's greatest LABOR but it is also a person's greatest LEGACY.“The purpose of your life might not be something you do but someone you raise.”—Andy StanleyPsalm 127:3-4 Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Likearrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.Parenting requires LEADERSHIP.“The things that impresses me most about America is the way that the parents obey their children.” Edward, Duke of WindsorEphesians 6:4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.Are you LEADING your children or are your children LEADING you?Lead your children into a healthy ROUTINE.Proverbs 22:6 NKJV Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.Routines should not create STRESS, they should REDUCE it.Proverbs 29:17 Discipline your children, and they will give you peace of mind and will make your heart glad.Lead your kids into GENUINE faith.Children don't need a MOTTO to say, they need a MODEL to follow.Deuteronomy 6:4-8 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.  These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.2 Timothy 1:5 I remember yourgenuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you.Lead your children into enjoying FAMILY TIME.Life is not measured in MINUTES, it is measured in MOMENTS.Psalm 39:6a NLT We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. Ecclesiastes 4:6 GN Maybe so, but it is better to have only a little, with peace of mind, than be busy all the time with both hands, trying to catch the wind.Parenting needs GOD'S GRACE.Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.Matthew 11:28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary andcarry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.Romans 8:1-2 So now there isno condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.

volia demostrar que era capaç de muntar aquella taula famosa de la botiga sueca sense instruccions.En: Oriol, practical but stubborn, wanted to prove he was capable of building that famous table from the Swedish store without instructions.Ca: Laia, sempre riallera davant el caos, només volia mantenir la pau.En: Laia, always cheerful amidst chaos, just wanted to keep the peace.Ca: "On són els

davant.En: Oriol sat with the pieces in front of him.Ca: La frustració començava a créixer al seu interior mentre cada membre de la família tenia la seva pròpia teoria sobre com muntar la taula.En: Frustration began to build within him as each family member had their own theory on how to assemble the table.Ca: "Si us plau, a tots, ho tinc controlat", va dir Oriol, més per convèncer-se a ell mateix que als altres.En: "Please, everyone, I've got this under control," said Oriol, more to convince himself than the others.Ca: Laia va intentar suavitzar la situació amb un somriure.En: Laia tried to ease the situation with a smile.Ca: "Potser hauríem d'haver anat directament a Menjar i gaudir d'aquella cassola", va suggerir amb un to alegre.En: "Maybe we should have gone straight to enjoy that casserole," she suggested in a cheerful tone.Ca: La seva intenció era distreure la tensió amb un moment de pau.En: Her intention was to ease the tension with a moment of calm.Ca: Llavors, va passar el que tots temien.En: Then it happened, what everyone feared.Ca: Un moment d'animada discussió sobre on anaven les potes, i la taula va cedir.En: A moment of lively discussion about where the legs went, and the table collapsed.Ca: Les potes es van desmuntar sorollosament, i el silenci va caure a la sala com una ombra.En: The legs came apart noisily, and silence fell over the room like a shadow.Ca: Oriol es va aturar i va respirar profundament.En: Oriol stopped and took a deep breath.Ca: Aquest era el punt de culminació.En: This was the climax.Ca: Estarient les emocions a flor de pell i la mateixa Laia es va adonar que havia de fer alguna cosa.En: Emotions were running high, and even Laia realized she needed to do something.Ca: "Oriol, potser fem una taula única, combinant les idees de tots", va dir amb un to suggeridor.En: "Oriol, maybe we should make a unique table, combining everyone's ideas," she said suggestively.Ca: Després d'un moment de dubte, Oriol va assentir.En: After a moment of hesitation, Oriol nodded.Ca: Així, amb la suma de les opinions i la paciència de Laia, van començar a treballar junts de nou.En: So, with a mix of opinions and Laia's patience, they began to work together again.Ca: Entre les risses i els consells, la taula va prendre forma, encara que d'una manera peculiar.En: Amidst laughter and advice, the table took shape, albeit in a peculiar way.Ca: Les potes, col·locades en angles més creatius dels previstos, van donar una personalitat especial al moble.En: The legs, placed at more creative angles than expected, gave a special personality to the piece of furniture.Ca: Oriol va riure i va aprendre que demanar ajuda i escoltar els altres no és un signe de feblesa, sinó de força.En: Oriol laughed and learned that asking for help and listening to others isn't a sign of weakness but of strength.Ca: Laia va descobrir que, amb humor, podia guiar a la família a través del caos.En: Laia discovered that with humor, she could lead the family through chaos.Ca: Quan finalment van acabar, la taula va ser una obra d'art col·lectiva.En: When they finally finished, the table was a collective work of art.Ca: Familiars van omplir la sala d'aplaudiments.En: Family members filled the room with applause.Ca: Oriol havia conquerit ara no només una taula, sinó el respecte i el caliu d'un moment compartit plenament en família.En: Oriol had not only conquered a table but also the respect and warmth of a moment fully shared with family.Ca: I mentre Laia servia la sopera, sabia que aquell dia, enmig del desordre i les rialles, mai s'oblidaria.En: And as Laia served the stew, she knew that day, amidst the mess and laughter, would never be forgotten.

Sometimes life just ain't fair. Maybe your groundbreaking YouTube Red pilot doesn't get picked up. Or your favorite podcasters opt for your ex's suggestion of a bafflingly long-running blockbuster series to watch instead of yours. On the other hand, maybe you rushed an essay about Grown-Ups 2 and got an inexplicable grade of 135%. It could even be that you edited an episode of Family Time that was recorded a month and a half ago and just forgot to upload it until now, which isn't relevant to life not being fair but did, in fact, happen.Get episodes early and in video on our Substack!
