She is the author of Tiny Business, Big Money for W.W. Norton & Co. (February 15, 2022), a look at how seven-figure businesses with small teams are reinventing the small business landscape, and The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business (Random House), a guide to how solopreneurs are breaking $1 million in revenue in businesses with no employees except the owners. Her work has appeared in FORTUNE, Money, CNBC, Inc., Forbes, Crain's New York Business, and many other business publications. She has contributed to the Economist Intelligence Unit. She is also a ghostwriter/collaborative editor. As a senior editor at FORTUNE Small Business, where she worked for eight years, Elaine was twice nominated for the National Magazine Award for her features and ran the magazine's annual business plan competition. Elaine graduated from Yale University with a BA in English. She lives in New Jersey with her husband and their four children and in her free time enjoys taekwondo, yoga, and kickboxing. Follow Elaine on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter.  Tiny Business, Big Money is a must-read for any entrepreneur who wants to keep their company lean and profitable. This book will help you on your small business journey. Micro-businesses, or one-person businesses with no payroll and very limited overhead, are the ultimate entrepreneurial dream. With minimal start-up costs, low risk, and the ability to scale on your own terms, these small business models are incredibly appealing for entrepreneurs who want to escape traditional corporate ladders or self-employment models that require hiring a team. The problem is that there is very little information out there about how to build one successfully. When you try to Google "one-person business" or "microbusiness," you get results on solo freelancing or microloans—not the kind of advice you need if you want to take your business to $1 million in revenue.

In today's episode, Karim is continuing with his amazing guest,Brad Federmanwho spent really, decades of his life exploring this area of coaching, personal development, communication connection, and how to get the best benefit out of it for individuals and organizations.Every day, people wake up and trudge to work, resentfully working at a company that falls short of its promises and values. This is a problem, one that Brad has dedicated his career to resolving. He is dedicated to helping organizations engage employees and customers, build resilient and bulwark relationships, as well as creating collaborative and agile cultures.  As he puts it, his job is to ‘help organizations discover and live their possible'.  This mission has followed Brad throughout his career as an international author, speaker, coach, and consultant with more than 25 years of corporate experience. As the founder of PerformancePoint, Brad works with organizations and leadership in various industries, including household names such as: Nordstrom, FedEx, Embassy Hilton, Mayo Clinic, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation.Prior to PerformancePoint, Brad was the EVP of Novations Group and has held leadership positions with Accenture and Humana Inc. He is a frequently requested featured speaker at conferences and business meetings worldwide. Some of his literary works include: Employee Engagement: A Roadmap for Creating Profits, Optimizing Performance, and Increasing Loyalty, Cultivating Culture: 101 Ways to Foster Engagement in 15 Minutes or Less, and a contributing author to 101 Ways to Enhance Your Career. Additionally, Brad has also been interviewed for Fox Business News' John Stossel Show and articles in numerous publications such as American Banker, Fortune Small Business, Los Angeles Times and HR Magazine.Brad earned his B.A. degree in communications from University of Maryland and a M.Ed. degree in human resource development from Vanderbilt University. He is also a member of the Forbes Coaches Council and serves on several boards.In today's episode:There are coaches or people who are interested to build a coaching career.Karim's question is very simple. How to use the coaching techniques, this concept of helping others unleash their potential and to help them see things that in the normal days and the busy days, they can see it?How we can use this, to implement a culture or to help an organization builds the culture within their business? Join our Facebook Group:  Go High Ticket: Scale your coaching business to 6 Figures. --------------------------------------------------// O V E R V I E W You need to actually be very self-aware. All too often, coaches are interested in making a breakthrough. Coaches are interested in a process. Don't get caught up in the model, Get caught up in the curiosity. don't make it about you make it about them. If you do that, the rest comes much more naturally. Questions won't come unless you have that mindset.The more you are far from the industry you are coaching in, the more you are going to be successful.When you're coaching you typically are thinking about it from an individual perspective, how do I work with and help this person?We were teaching people how to have stand-ups in their puddles. You are developing the leaders to develop the organization.People don't have a reason to work here.Absenteeism went down, quality went way up, morale went way up, turnover stopped. Because they did the hard work to build a culture instead of trying to pick something up somewhere else, and drop it in.How do you link culture with belonging?I think cultures can create more belonging, and cultures can create less belonging. Culture can do both things. It can exclude, it can beat up, it can destroy, or it can build up, include and make you more profitable.Have a choice in that. And that choice is how you approach it.People succumb to culture. // Resources from this episode:Follow Brad Federman:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradfedermanbfederman@performancepointllc.comhttps://performancepointllc.com/ You can get Brad's Books from the link below:https://www.amazon.com/Brad-Federman/e/B002B1SMJW%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share Join our Facebook Group:  Go High Ticket: Scale your coaching business to 6 Figures.

It's About the Behaviours You're Willing To Accept''.You are as strong as your weakest link. And those weak links show up at difficult moments. That's Culture.Organizations focus on the wrong piece, what I say they focus on profitability, problems, and process when they should be thinking about people.When leadership and management want to discuss something and they want something to happen, they still take one direction, a one-way conversation approach.We value data numbers, practical information a lot. We've become a little bit more open to the whole emotions thing, but you still hear people say, business is business personal is personal, leave your emotions at the door. Leadership is all about removing barriers, being a servant to your people, opening up opportunities, coaching, facilitating.The more we are immersed with the WE, the more we are adding value.// Resources from this episode:Follow Brad Federman:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradfedermanbfederman@performancepointllc.comhttps://performancepointllc.com/ You can get Brad's Books from the link below:https://www.amazon.com/Brad-Federman/e/B002B1SMJW%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share Join our Facebook Group:  Go High Ticket: Scale your coaching business to 6 Figures.

What does it mean to be a leader and how do you become a good leader for your business? In this episode, we talk about leadership and what you need to do when creating teams, how-to guide them, and how to make your company work for your customers. As my guest puts it, you have to engage your employees or your team to better focus on your customers which means looking at the company's culture, the relationships between the teams and their managers, and how that process works for the company overall. What is hanging on the walls of the lobby really needs to come to life, and not be a "fancy mission statement" that nobody lives or breathes in the business. One needs to understand how teams work so you can be agile and faster in creating cohesion and relationships for your team to succeed. As Brad says, "Inspiring others to discover and live their possible." How do you do this?

This episode of The Jake Dunlap Show features David Brier, Chief Gravity Defyer at DBD International. An artist as much as he is an entrepreneur, David has been hailed as a "mad genius" and is a world-renowned designer with a thriving business. David recalls his roots and his first forays into the art spectrum. From visual arts to music, David tried it all in his college days until he zeroed in on design and typography. He founded his first design company soon after college, moved on, and diversified his service with DBD International.Moving to branding felt natural to David. His curiosity with designs he admired translated into the branding success he delivers to his clients. David also experienced the monumental shift in the 90s when design creation moved dramatically from analog to digital.Far from satisfied, David is also a prolific writer and has authored several books, including Defying Gravity & Rising Above the Noise: The 8 Principles for Achieving and Maintaining Brand Elevation. Today, he also comments on the branding trends he has noticed and the value of originality in creating memorable designs.Listen to the full podcast on David Brier's journey in branding and his colorful anecdotes on life as a designer.QUOTES:09:54 "I need to be a designer because I can then, at least, control the outcome and be accountable for the outcome of all the bits and pieces work together. I didn't want to just be what I call a musician in the orchestra."32:02 "I started to do stuff as editorial design, meaning how do I tell a story, how do I use a headline, how do I use all these bits and pieces to work together on a page. It was more of an editorial approach."33:16 "Vanilla is what you put the hot fudge on. Vanilla isn't the star, the hot fudge is. And so I was all about the hot fudge, not the vanilla."40:04 "I can use all these things to create a story, a visual, an entity, a presence, that started out maybe as a little germ of an idea in someone's head some time ago. And so I could bring that to life."47:05 "Are you really that devoid of originality? Truly? Go and take a walk then, go to a museum, go to a gallery, go to some city, walk the streets and look at the windows. Get some inspiration."More about DavidDavid Brier is a brand identity expert, designer with decades of experience, author, and speaker. He has worked with industry legends like Shark Tank investor and FUBU CEO Daymond John who calls David "brilliant with branding." He has been quoted as saying, "cookie cutters are for baking, not branding" and has been featured on Forbes.com and Fortune Small Business. He has hundreds of international recognitions, including a first-place win in the 2013 Shorty Awards, known in the industry as the "Oscars for Social Media."David has worked with Revlon, Estee Lauder, Jim Henson Associates, Rolling Stone Magazine, The New York Times Sunday Magazine, and the Trump Organization. This passionate dedication to his work has earned him more than 300 international and national industry awards. Aside from already being a published writer, David is also a Fast Company author who regularly tackles topics on innovation, advertising, and of course, branding in all its shapes and forms. Find out more about David Brier and connect with him at the following links:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbrier/Website (Rising Above the Noise) - https://risingabovethenoise.com/Author Page (Fast Company) - https://www.fastcompany.com/user/david-brierLearn more about Jake Dunlap and Skaled by visiting the links below:Jake Dunlap:Personal Site - http://jakedunlap.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakedunlap/Twitter - https://twitter.com/JakeTDunlapInstagram - http://instagram.com/jake_dunlap_Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JakeTDunlap/Skaled:Website - https://skaled.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/skaled YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsw_03rSlbGQkeLGMGiDf4Q

Over the last couple of years, many agencies have started reaping the benefits of embedding an account executive in a client’s office. By that I mean someone from the agency team literally has a desk or office in a client’s business for a set amount of time every week. This trend was growing prior to the pandemic and actually held its own during the work from home period of 2020. Now that more agencies and clients have returned to the office, this becomes a very viable option again. In this episode, I want to talk about what this means, how to do it well, and both the risks and value of doing it. As an agency owner, your brain might jump to several potential problems that make you leery of such an arrangement. Truth be told, there are several benefits for your shop and your client. If done well, this can be a huge win for you. It takes a bit of a learning curve, as well as putting the ideal employee with the right client. But, when done correctly, you create a really great hook that makes it nearly impossible for a client to consider taking their business anywhere else. In the process, as the agency owner, you cultivate a better, stronger, more connected relationship with the client organization.

Today on Extraordinary Women Radio, I am thrilled to bring you Elaine Pofeldt - Author of the One Million Dollar, One-Person Business! There was a time in my career, where I had as many as 90 people reporting into me - directly or indirectly. I have always loved teams. Today, however, I have appreciated the simplicity of growing my business with collaborative partners - rather than the complexity of an employee base. No doubt we can't do this alone - AND - I love the freedom that comes in my business to maneuver with the right partners that fit into my model at the right time. Elaine's book was recommended to me when I declared to my own coach that I wanted a high earning, high ROI business with a simple infrastructure. I loved her book. It was so much fun to meet her and hear what she learned after interviewing 30 business owners who had built one million dollar businesses without the complexity of employees. Mind you, this doesn't mean you do it alone -  it means working in partnership with all the right people in your business to serve and do the work you're called to do! In this episode: What sparked Elaine to write the book One Million-Dollar, One-Person Business What types of business are a good fit for this model (and we dig specifically into the  service oriented content creator, coaches and consultants because there are so many of you in my community who are in this sector). What makes a million dollar-one person business work and the factors enabling entrepreneurs to build an ultra-lean business The behind the scenes and collaboration happening beyond the “Seven-Figure, One-Person Business” A teaser on her new book Tiny Business, Big Money, which will address the next level business over one million and with employees From Elaine's book: "According to recent statistics released by the US Census Bureau, in 2015 there were 35,584 “nonemployer” firms—that is, those that do not employ anyone other than the owners—that brought in $ 1 million to $ 2,499,999 in annual revenue. That’s up 5.8% from 2014, 18% from 2013, 21% from 2012 and 33% from 2011. Some elite nonemployer businesses are even exceeding these revenues. In 2015, 2,090 businesses had annual receipts of $ 2.5 million to $ 4.99 million, and 355 businesses brought in $ 5 million or more.” Elaine Pofeldt, a former senior editor at Fortune Small Business Magazine. She is a regular contributor to Fortune, Money, CNBC and, Forbes – and is the author of the book The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business, where she looks at how entrepreneurs are scaling to $1 million in revenue prior to hiring employees. As a senior editor at Fortune Small Business magazine, she was twice nominated for the National Magazine Award for her feature stories. “Every single aspect of a one-person business depends on you. You are the most important resource of the business. And the good thing is there’s no right or wrong. You can tailor it to whatever you feel is right.” —Elaine Pofeldt Discover more about Elaine's works and passion on her website Elaine Pofeldt.

As I thought about this solocast and what I wanted to say to you, I came up with a big list. Year-end planning, appreciate your clients, get your biz dev kicked off for 2021. And then I realized you, like me, are on stress overload already and the last thing I needed to do was to add to your To Do list. Instead, the most helpful thing I can do in this episode is to acknowledge what’s going on, how you’re feeling and offer some support. So that’s what we’re going to do together. You’ve been going full steam ahead at a breakneck speed for almost nine months. You’ve scrambled to replace lost business, get government assistance, shift to working from home and taking care of your team. You’ve had to make some tough choices, have difficult conversations and yet you’ve rallied each and every time. But no one can sustain the pace and stress you’ve been keeping forever. It’s not humanly possible, even for you. Most of your agencies have fared well through the pandemic and financially, you’re in good shape. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need to focus on giving yourself some respite. And that’s what this episode is all about!

What You Will Learn in This Episode: The overarching sentiment of agency owners in 2020 What agency owners can do to move past the exhaustion and heavy emotions of 2020 Why it is important to step back and reflect on the hardships and victories of the last year How agency owners are dealing with stress overload in this fast-paced environment Why agency owners are particularly affected by being “stuck” in the pandemic Why agency owners need to put on their own oxygen masks now so they can help their families, employees, and clients down the road “Whether you have been breaking all records or struggling to keep your head above water, none of this has been easy for anyone.” @DrewMcLellanCLICK TO TWEET“I think it is really hard for us to admit that we cannot possibly keep up the pace and the level of stress we have been dealing with for the past nine months.” @DrewMcLellanCLICK TO TWEET“We as agency owners are not a group of people that likes to feel stuck or have control taken away from us. I think one of the things that dealing with stress overload does is render us completely out of control.” @DrewMcLellanCLICK TO TWEET“Being powerless is not something we are used to—or comfortable with. I believe that we have to take some of that control back.” @DrewMcLellanCLICK TO TWEET“We as agency owners have to find new ways of dealing with stress overload.

Magnify Your Purpose! How to Stay Visible in Troubled Times “If you promise to offer authenticity, you better deliver.” -Lia Dunlap (04:09-04:12) Visibility is not something that everybody is called to do, but as a society, that's how we connect and learn from each other. We all have a story to tell! As you build your visibility, especially during this pandemic, many people can benefit from your story. Let's discuss how you can magnify your purpose and stay visible during troubled times with my guest Jill Lublin. Part One of ‘Magnify Your Purpose! How to Stay Visible in Troubled Times’ With 200+ speaking engagements each year, master publicity strategist and consultant, and bestselling author, Jill Lublin, consistently wows audiences worldwide with her entertaining and interactive keynotes, seminars, and training programs on publicity, networking, and influence marketing. Jill has shared her powerful networking and publicity strategies on the stages of Tony Robbins, T. Harv Eker, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Loral Langemeier, and many others. Additionally, thousands of people have attended her famous "Crash Course in Publicity," which she teaches live several times a month at locations around the U.S. and Canada.   Over the past 25 years, Jill has worked with ABC, NBC, CBS, and other national and international media outlets as highly regarded publicity experts. She has been featured in The New York Times, Women's Day, Fortune Small Business, Entrepreneur, and Inc. magazines. “Keep putting yourselves out there in small ways until attraction marketing happens. Make people want to work with you.” – Jill Lublin (09:34-10:20) Jill is the author of four bestselling books, including Get Noticed… Get Referrals (McGraw-Hill), Networking Magic (Morgan James), and Guerrilla Publicity (Adams Media), which is regarded as the "PR Bible," and her latest book The Profit of Kindness (Career Press), which went #1 in four categories. With four international bestselling books, Jill is acknowledged as the go-to person for building success through influence marketing, networking, and publicity. She helps authors to create book deals with agents and publishers and well as obtain foreign rights deals. In addition to her speaking engagements, Jill trains and consults with executives, sales teams, and marketing departments in Fortune 500 companies and small-to-medium-sized companies. Her innovative influence, marketing, and publicity techniques consistently increase bottom-line results for her clients. Part Two of ‘Magnify Your Purpose! How to Stay Visible in Troubled Times’ I usually ask my guest this question, "How do you find alignment with your purpose and business genius in the work that you're doing today?"  Jill responds that she was a shy person back then, which doesn't seem congruent with who she is now. Now, she calls herself a messenger of messengers because she has a natural ability to see her clients as people who have a valuable message to share whatever their businesses are. And that's where her gift as a great connector helps other people find their message so that publicity can be more natural for them. Thus, they can get the things that every business owner desires, such as prospects, profits, recognition, and credibility. The next question is, how can you stay visible in troubled times? Jill says, it’s all about being aware of what's going on right now and see where you can fit in. It doesn't matter what industry you're in, whether you're an author, speaker, consultant, coach, chiropractor, or real estate agent, being a trusted source is the #1 thing you should focus on to attract new customers.  Jill recommends following reporters who write about your message. This tactic works! Don’t just go follow them and say, “pick me!” You engage with them and provide the right solutions to become the trusted source. “You need to start living an intentional life.” - Lia Dunlap (10:57) Another tactic for visibility is to publish a book. It positions yourself well, too. Lisa has helped people get major book deals with major publishers for over 18 years, including several who have six-figure book deals, which is almost unheard of in today's market. Those are the people who had enormous publicity and influence, but they still sought help to make their goals happen. Jill's perspective is, "Nothing good is done without a team." You need people around you to make things happen.  Make sure that you take everything that Jill says, so you can get clear, get your message out, and share your purpose with the world. A FREE GIFT FROM JILL… Are you someone who wants to write your book someday? Here's some advice from Jill, "Start planting your seeds now. Start creating that visibility factor!"

Today's advertising business would be almost unrecognizable to the Don Drapers of the Mad Men era. Platforms, deliverables, compensation structures and client expectations have all changed dramatically and continue to evolve. Veteran agency owner and consultant Drew McLellan joins host Bill Coppel – Managing Director and Chief Client Growth Officer at First Clearing – to discuss service-based business disruption and the implications for redefining the value of intermediaries.   In the classic ad agency model of the Mad Men era, built-in commissions from media purchases subsidized the services that went into the development of campaigns. However, the rise of digital platforms has flipped that model on its head. In a world where companies can now buy media and creative services directly, agencies must prove their value every day. Sound familiar? In this episode, veteran agency owner and consultant Drew McLellan shares insights he's gained from over 30 years in advertising, and draws parallels with the disruption impacting financial advisors. He explains that success today means becoming deeply involved in clients' lives to learn more about what's important to them so you can redefine your value accordingly.   In this episode you'll hear: Three things service providers should do to succeed in the next decade Why branding your business is more important than ever before How building clients' confidence can help you solve more of their needs Drew has worked in advertising for over 30 years and has spent more than 23 of those years running his own agency, the McLellan Marketing Group. He also owns and operates the Agency Management Institute, a consultancy that's been helping owners of small to medium-sized advertising agencies grow their businesses since the early '90s. He's written two books and been featured in the New York Times, Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, and Fortune Small Business. Drew is also the host of the podcast Build a Better Agency, which helps agency owners and entrepreneurs compete in these disruptive times.   Ways to contact Drew: Podcast: Build a Better Agency Web: agencymanagementinstitute.com
