Welcome back to That Entrepreneur Show! Host Vincent A. Lanci recently had his 7th book release and 2nd as a Co-Author. The publisher behind the release, 10x Author and Founder Authentic Endeavors Publishing, Teresa Velardi, is here! If you enjoy this episode, please rate the show 5 stars and subscribe for future episodes with top-performing entrepreneurs!   Meet our Guest: Change is the one thing we can always count on  (whether we like it or not). All of us, at one time or another, experience change. It is an ongoing process; life itself is a continuous transformation. The last few years are living proof. In addition to being a coach, I am also a potter. The process of making pottery is such a great illustration of transformation. A ball of clay becomes a work of art!I've come to believe that personal and business growth comes from the willingness to do things differently while being open to all possibilities in the transformation process. More often than not, when we think life couldn't get any better or any more uncomfortable, something brings us to the next level of our growth, just like the strengthening of the clay in the fire. Afterward, we realize it all had to unfold exactly how it did to live our most authentic lives. Many of us have to reinvent ourselves in many areas, and I can help you get to where you need to be.  -You can enjoy her most recent episode on Writing with Authors here!-Publisher/ 10x Author/ Editor Teresa Velardi Joins the Writing with Authors-She also had the courage to share her journey on A Mental Health Break -Check us out on social media @ThatEntrepreneurShow on all platforms, and visit www.vincentalanci.com for more show and guest information. -Have a question for the host or guest?

If you want to experience business growth you need a recipe for success. Your business growth strategy is like a recipe for success. When you bake, you have a recipe to follow, and certain ingredients are necessary or the baked good won't turn out the way you want, or taste good. Similarly, when you are growing a business certain ingredients create a road map to success. In keeping with the recipe theme, be sure to read to the end of the post for a special Christmas gift...our family gingerbread men recipe. The ingredients needed for the recipe for success Clarity Confidence Commitment Consistency Community Communication Collaboration Clarity The first ingredient in the recipe for success is clarity. You must be 100% clear on what you do, why you do it, how you do it, why you do it the way you do it, and who you do it for. There is no wiggle room in your measure of clarity. If you aren't clear, your community will not be clear. Clarity creates confidence. When you have clarity you will confidently communicate what you do, why you do it, how you do it, why you do it the way you do it, and who you do it for. 1 Corinthians 14:33 reminds us, "For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord's people." If you are feeling unclear about your business, do this exercise: Make a list of all of your past experiences that have led you to start your business. These may be jobs you've had, volunteer positions you've had, teams you were part of, experiences you've gone through and learned from, or a combination of these. Once you have the list, take it a step further. What about each thing you've done or experienced differentiates you from others who have experienced something similar? What makes you unique? This could be qualifications, what you learned and then implemented to create a positive result, the people you worked with or had the experience to learn from, mistakes you made, the mistakes you saw other people make, and/or the people you've helped along your journey. Then, evaluate the list of people you've already helped and identify the people who are consistently asking you for help or to solve a problem. What are you their go-to for? Is there a consistent problem people ask you to help solve? Are there skills that you have that no one else has? How can your experiences and what you've learned from them help solve a problem for someone else? Who are the people who most likely need help solving this problem or challenge? Read the full show notes and access a plethora of additional resources.  My Christmas gift to you In closing, now that we've reviewed the recipe for success, I want to share a fun recipe with you. Download your copy of our family Gingerbread Men Recipe. You can download it as a PDF or JPEG. Happy baking!

Who do you believe you are? What you believe about yourself determines the decisions you make and the results you achieve. When you believe, you succeed. Who you believe yourself to be is a factor in the amount of success you'll have. If you don't believe in yourself you won't take the steps necessary to grow and become. You must know who you are if you want to succeed. As Christian business owners, Christ empowers you to do big things and to have a big impact. Making decisions like a CEO As small business owners, you are the CEO of your business. The more you believe in yourself, the better your decisions will be. A very significant decision you need to make is what is your best offer for your best client. Many times we as women labor over decisions, questioning the what-ifs. Therefore it's important to learn to evaluate, to think in terms of your best client, and to make decisions without overthinking them. Quite often, indecision is what holds you back. You have to believe in yourself, in God's purpose for you, and in your soulmate clients, that they need you. Indecision is a decision. Don't be double-minded. No is the default for not making a decision. Making a decision is not a one-step process. If you make a decision but then things don't happen fast enough, for example selling a new offer, then you change your mind. Making a decision is a two-part process. The first step is making a choice. Secondly, you must make a commitment to your choice. Three key steps to grow a successful business: Belief in yourself, your purpose, what God can do in your life, and in your soulmate clients Making decisions, sticking to the decisions, not wavering on your decisions when you don't sell quickly Build a foundation for your business, before relying on social media, by differentiating yourself from all others in your niche Evaluate your decisions by mapping them out. Pen to paper is very powerful. Create a strategy for making decisions. But, don't stop there, stay committed to the decisions. Your brain knows so much. Take what's in it and put it on paper so that you can capture and visualize it. When you believe, you succeed. You must believe in who you are and whose you are (a child of God), and you will be more confident in the decisions you make. In addition, your belief in your purpose and your soulmates is important for ultimate growth and success.   Read the full show notes and access all links.  Learn more and connect with Judy Weber: Website for Judy Weber   Friend, if you're tired of unbelief, I'm here to help you grow in your belief in yourself and in Jesus!

This guest sold his business for $50mil to the global company Sigma Alimentos. This company still uses, and used, his recipes to won the 2020 World Championship Cheese Contest with his "flagship cotija cheese."Miguel Leal is widely regarded as the “Godfather of Mexican Cheese” in the United States, Miguel Leal's story humbly began at a cheese factory in his native Mexico as a teenager. When he was invited to travel to the United States as an apprentice, he jumped at the chance. One of six children raised in poverty after the tragic death of his father in an earthquake, Leal arrived in Wisconsin without money and speaking little English. As an illegal immigrant, he had no choice but to make a cardboard bed on the factory's boiler room floor.  He was among the first to recognize that the growing number of Latinx immigrants in the U.S. meant there would be a market for specialty Mexican cheeses, and eventually partnered with a master cheesemaker from Wisconsin to work with the Amish in Ohio to produce and hand-sell 60-pound wheels of cotija cheese in the Chicago metro area.  The skyrocketing demand for his cheese led Leal to establish his own company, Mexican Cheese  Producers, Inc. in 1994. He eventually constructed a state-of- the-art production plant in Darlington,  Wisconsin—a prime location with access to the finest quality milk in the country. There, he continued to perfect recipes for a variety of Mexican cheeses and took out patents for the machines used to produce them.

Adaptability = Survivability = Sustainability.The numbers have always reinforced that the longer you are able to stay in business during certain milestones, the higher the percentage you will be successful in business. No surprise that the longevity of a business's existence runs parallel with the growth and success of that business. But most emerging businesses need to think long-term and work backwards to reengineer their approach for the short-term.Passion. Obsession. Immediate Action. All great and necessary intangibles to get off the ground and liftoff. But certainly, charting out a path to the moon and beyond even before the rocketship is funded and built is part of the process if you want to break through the atmosphere in a mighty way. With the rise of AI/ML, as shown through the fast-adopting movement with Chat-GPT as well as this constantly changing and ever-evolving business/marketing landscape that is impacting both legacy and emerging brands, it is getting more difficult to know which way to go, how to fortify, and how to scale your business long-term.The secret to the longevity of a business, from brand allegiance and authority to maintaining high-level demand upstream and downstream to even being recession-proof, is all dependent on this one X Factor most business leaders easily forget.
