Have you ever been at a large event and struggled to see from a great distance? Perhaps a concert or a sports game. There's an excitement in the air that helps to make up for it though. That was the scene when Jesus entered into Jerusalem the week before his crucifixion. We can discuss their misplaced expectations, but there's still a question for you and I - Are you excited about the Lord Jesus?

Howdy, chum! I am Marc Hershon, your every-other-weekly host for Episode 245 of Succotash Shut-In, the Soundcast Stimulus Package. And this week I come to you semi-immune to the coronavirus, more commonly known as COVID-19. One shot down, one shot to go. I don’t want to seem overly eager to get the next dose over and done with, but my wife and I ARE now starting to plan a getaway to Hawaii just to get the hell outta town for the first time in over a year. Switching gears: In case you missed my awesome co-host for last week’s Epi244, you can still catch Tyson Saner and his lineup of soundcast clips that included Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Humboldt Holding Up, and Behind the Bastards. Find it on Apple or Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, the Laughable app, iHeart Radio, YouTube, or right on our very own homesite, SuccotashShow.com. I have no clips for you this week but, instead, a visit with Michael Rowe, who started out as a standup comedian but who went on to become a comedy writer and producer for TV. Mike’s been nominated for a half dozen Emmy Awards for his work on Futurama and Family Guy – and he even took one home. He also got a WEBBY Award for his own animated series, The Paranormal Action Squad. Mike’s one of those guys with long roots in comedy that I should know – we have tons of friends in common. In fact, I was turned onto Mike by Jon Manfrellotti, a friend and comic who was on Succotash a decade ago – WAY back in Episode 16! Mike has got a new book coming out — a memoir — called It’s A Funny Thing: How the Professional Comedy Business Made me Fat and Bald. This chat was actually recorded a couple of weeks ago and I have now finished It’s A Funny Thing. It’s available at Amazon for sure, BearManer Media, and we have links up at the blog entry for this episode at SuccotashShow.com. Tyson will be with you next week for Episode 246 and I’ll be back the week after that. In the meantime, keep your nose clean, your feel wiped, your teeth brushed, your hands washed, and your faced covered while you socially distance. And, if anyone asked if you’ve heard anything good lately, please do not hesitate to pass the Succotash. — Marc Hershon

Our mind is a meaning-making machine. It always creates thoughts that often breed self-doubt, insecurity, fear, scarcity thoughts, and what have you. When you are full of these, you are likely always to question yourself, and the moment you do so, you're putting things on hold. That is your mind's limiting mechanism not to explore what could potentially be the end of your struggle. You feel so awkward around food, there's nothing but negative thoughts about it. When you look yourself in the mirror, as though you see someone else you dreaded for so long. There's not even a tad bit of appreciation you can hear. Yes, you become mean even to yourself. While making sense of your struggle, you always find yourself hiding in the darkness of your make-believe world of smallness and not making any progress. All you are ever harboring are limiting beliefs that are not in the slightest manner of any help to any of what you want to happen. How do you come out of this dark tunnel you've subjected yourself into? Learn about self-awareness, fully keeping in touch with the deepest of your thoughts and emotions to heal any trauma you might have in your life. There is a way to quiet the many voices in your head that are feeding negativity in you. There is indeed a way to tame it. That is where Hypnosis helps. Just learn to say yes to take action with a coach who can help you unearth what has been there underneath you, bothering you for the longest time. But which you don't have any idea about. It's about time you face it, conquer your fear, fail fast, and you will see your success faster than you could ever imagine yourself getting out of it all alone. You are more than about your thoughts, your weight, and your body. Just learn to trust the program, many have already done, and they've seen tremendous life transformation they would never have experienced had they kept hiding and making excuses.  "When I continue questioning myself, I continue to waste time.I procrastinate. I don't have to make decisions by myself. I'm scared of knowing my value and my worth as a woman, as a human being." - Leslie Thornton  Topics Covered: What am I getting out of questioning myself? What is the cost of always questioning yourself? Quick tips to stop questioning yourself Hypnosis helps slow down the chatter in your head I am not my thoughts; I am not my body, and who am I? Are we acting on what we want to happen in our lives? How long are you going to be unhappy and struggling? What happens when you work with a coach Get to the source of what's happening at the root You can cry What is the fastest access and point to success?

LM241 Laughter Matters-Michael and I Are in the Army Now

S4 Ep 68 The Power of Intent: “Change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change” Wayne Dye, author of ‘The Power of Intentions’. The power of intent lies within our intentions and purpose. Who am I? Think about that question, who am I? Are you able to confidently answer that question? Some people find their selves struggling to answer questions like ‘who am I’ and what ‘is my purpose?’ We’ve all been put here for a reason, we all willed our spirit to be present on this earth, we say things like “I didn’t ask to be here” but yet our energy and spirit was birthed into someone to live in this realm, some for only but a moment and some for a lifetime. While many are still searching for the answers of what their purpose is—in this podcast episode, ‘The Power Of Intent” host Ticia The Diva, shares tips on how to set your intentions—but first things first, in order to properly set you intentions—you must set your intentions on yourself. Your intentions must be set for you and what’s going to go be fulfilling to your life and purpose. We set our intentions on other things and people but when setting your intentions on yourself we must become the very person that we want others to be to us. We have to embody and exude that spirit and confidence of being whole and enough to receive the exact things that we set our intentions on. In this episode, I challenge you to listen with intent and follow the guidelines that I shared with you. I share my own personal stories and even use a Ciara analogy, “What did you pray for sis?” Get yourself a journal and use that as your intentions/manifestations journal. Write out those over the top, wild and crazy ideas with the intent of being specific, write out a time and put a date on it, do you want these things in a week or two, a month or even in a few days, when do you want this to happen? Be specific. Visualize yourself in that position, how do you look, how is it going to make you feel, how is having/doing this going to change your life? I talk about a lot of visualization throughout this podcast and the power of intent and visualization goes hand in hand when manifesting intentions. You must show up as that person in your mind and thoughts but it’s imperative that you get it out on paper in order to make it concrete and physical. What are your intentions for this week? What are your intentions for this month? What are you intentions for the remainder of 2020? Let’s set some intentions and get to work on them! Those desires that we have we must act on them—we can’t keep them bottled up within us because we are then denying ourselves of our intentions and our purpose. The act of intent has been embedded deep within you and you have the power to set forth your intentions right now and conjure up anything in this lifetime that you want, now, let’s go em!

And I know I was gonna screw up this Yeah, you got it right now. But, he gets paid for people that people pay him so that they can get out of their way. And I think for me, in my experience, that's one of the biggest issues in any business. I mean, I was talking with some business partners this morning, actually, just a few minutes ago. He's like, man, I need to do better at updating my stuff every day. And I was like, No, you don't, you need to do find somebody to do that for you. You don't need, you do not need to do that. It's something that I struggle with, honestly, is relinquishing control because I'm a little bit of a control freak, as most entrepreneurs are, they want to be in the mess and doing it but that's not really what they're there 10% of what makes the most money and what their skills are. So I'm excited to have this conversation with you. And go ahead and introduce yourself introduce kind of where you came from, maybe a few stories and how you got into the current business and how you got this reputation of helping people get out of their way.Thank you. I appreciate you having me on I love doing these especially these types of conversations where I get a chance to tell my story a little bit. So, you know, I did four years of Marine Corps got out of that and went straight into straight commission sales and I spent 20 years in the there's a plane going over, sorry about that. America's flying by. I did 20 years straight commission sales and found a lot of success in that I became one of the top sales trainers in the world with an organization called Sandler Training and had a lot of fun, you know, working with companies teaching their salespeople how to, you know, learn how to sell. And during that sales training years, I was I picked up a partner in my firm that I worked with, and was going through the process of buying them out. And we were on about a five-year seven-figure buyout conversation. And I thought that that was kind of my destiny, right that my journey that's where I was meant to be. And being my business partner went out to dinner. And as we sat down for dinner, we're having great conversations about what the future holds and all the things. And you know, as we're talking, I'm seeing myself running this whole company, and I'm excited about, you know, taking on this adventure. And as we're having a couple of cocktails, he looks at me and he goes, Donny, I gotta tell you, I'm grateful that you're my retirement plan. And I had to pause because it took a second for me to wrap my head around what the hell you just said? Andhe realized that the words that came out of his mouth and into his defense, I still love the guy to death. You know, we still have dinner together and drinks whatnot. What he was trying to do is say how grateful he was for everything that I've done for him. I doubled his company a couple of times. And, you know, we've done some amazing things and he was trying to pay me a compliment. But what he did is he Welcome the beast inside me, because it was in that particular moment that I realized that I'd spent 40 years making everybody else rich for years living somebody else's dream. And 15 days later from that conversation, I walked away from everything. I walked away from that partnership, that company that that whole nine yards, stupid thing I did that day was that was also the same day I told my wife I was going to do this. She had no idea I was walking away from all this you know, and at this point that we had bought our dream farm that we still live on. I built a second house in a property for my mother in law we were buying all the animals we're doing some remodeling you know we're doing a little bit of everything and here I'm you know, walking away from security of fantastic paint job, great carrier benefits everything and going out on my own. So I remember that drive home going, you know, drive my house, going What the heck did you just do? I can't believe you just walked away from everything so. But after I get over that initial shock and fear, I had this thought in my head that I'm a damn good sales guy. Everybody in my hometown knows who I am. I'm going to open this business. And this thing's just going to take off and I'm going to sail off to the sunset and be a retired millionaire in less than five years. And yeah, none of that happened. So I got the business up and running. And I realized quickly that I didn't know what the heck I was doing. And I was I didn't have a business model. I was trying to be like, coach, maybe consultant, you know, I didn't know speaker thing and I just said yes, a lot to people when they want to do something. And so, at one point, I found myself doing graphic design work because I needed cash and about 60 months into the business. I had one of the toughest conversations ever had my wife and I walked up to her and I said, Dad, we're about to lose it all. I burned through my nest egg trying every course every book, every coach, every consultant, I mean, I was turning everything to figure out how to run a business. And my wife being the awesome gal, she is said very sweet loving words me and I'll clean it up the version for your show. But she told me to get off my button, go blank and sell something. And so I did. I started scrambling and fighting and started, you know, selling and figuring things out. And I gave a speech at a really big event. And I wasn't the keynote at the event. I was one of the breakout speeches. But after the speech was done, a guy walks up to me, and it says Donnie, I love love your story. I love everything. You've talked about your sales journey. The things you've been to, would you come to tell your show on my podcast? And I said, What the hell is a podcast? And he laughed and explained to me that a podcast, you know, was two people talking on a mic and you know, sharing their stories. And that was April of 2017. noticing the April 2018, excuse me, that that conversation happened. And I went on this show, it aired. After I got off the air or after it aired, one of his listeners reached out to me and said, Hey, I'd like to hire you for some sales training. And I went, wait, I can go on a podcast and find clients, hold my beer and watch this. So in the next 30 days, dude, I reached out to every podcast I could find and I was on 67 shows in 30 days.I just went bananas with it. And it was around the 50th episode that I was on that I was being interviewed, that I happened to go on a really really, really bad show. I mean, it was Horrible. And I love telling the story on stage today. Last but the guy hands me a note with 20 questions. I emailed it to me, and he starts and goes, Okay, question one, and I answer to question one. He then goes, Question two, and I answer to question two. He goes, question three and I went, crap. Any answer question three, he goes question for me being me. I asked him, okay, Tell me your story. What do you do? What do you do? And he goes, question five, no dialogue, no back and forth. It was insane. And I realized quickly, this guy can have any success whatsoever in podcasting. I'm getting into the game. So I launched my show success champions in May of 2018. In three months, it hit the top 200 in the business category five months, the highest ever hit on the charts was 59. And I got the screenshot to sit next to Tim Ferriss. You know, try this geek out over. And you know, that led me to some fun things. I got to speak in Ireland on podcasting and Do some other cool things. But ultimately podcasting saved my business because it taught me business systems and processes I was playing it was interviewing some of the biggest names in the world. So I couldn't look like a rookie when I was bringing on these guests. So I had to build all these automation and process and so in doing that, I'd realized that the reason my company was so bad is that I was running it like a job and not a business. I was doing everything. I was doing all the heavy lifting. And I hadn't shifted my mindset over to that of a business owner. But once I had that kind of epiphany in the business, things started taking off and we launched a Facebook group that right now is 100 small business owners with 90% engagement in it that are rocking and rolling. I've produced a cookbook, a second podcast that's a top 200 in selco. We've launched a magazine of the success champions brand And it's rocking and rolling. And so now, you know, I give back to small business owners and I don't tell them I'm going to make my million dollar business dream thing. I always tell everybody, I'll get you to where I am. I will sit down, I'll put you through masterminds and courses and things that we do. And I'll just get you as far as I've got. I can't get you any further and I am I haven't been there yet. And you know, I walk through people as you know, what kind of conversation should you have with a coach before you hire them? And my number one thing that I always tell people is, you know, ask them who their coaches ask them who they're working with, go with they're going to find is most coaches don't have coaches and there's a lot of scam artists out there as they go through the process, so but now I mean, we're living a fun life. I'm a little over two years into this business multiple six figures and, and having a blast, you know, still learning a lot. I've got a full team that works underneath me and we're just running and gunning and You know, seeing how quickly we can break something to learn from it, you know, so 10,000-foot brother, that's, that's the gist of everything.And I just am blown away honestly, as I'm sure you are blown away of your success as well. It's interesting, I found in my own life, not to say that the growth wasn't intentional or focused on but it's like you put in all this work and a lot of people say, Oh, well you've created this business out of two years. All of the failure before has counted as all the years are taken to build what he's built. Right and it's not a well, you were able there's day one build all that and sometimes people get lucky. And I say lucky that they have the right coach, I think takes action to have the right coach. So I don't know how much luck there is but because they have the right coach they can circumvent a lot of that pain and a lot of that the downsides that You gain that growth. But everybody is going to be a little bit different. And everybody needs to learn lessons as much as you read a lesson in the book. It's not your lesson until it's your lesson.Yes, yeah, you know it and so I love that you said that we could have heard it quite that way. But I remember talking with a mentor of mine not too long ago, and I and I looked at him I said, you know, the stuff I read in the book finally makes sense. You know, it's because as you can read it, it's all theory. You know, it's, it's all somebody else's words until you go through it. And you know, like most people, I'm the person that you said stove is hot, the stove is hot, I'm still going to touch the damn thing to see if it's hot, you know? And that was it for me. And I think kind of my craziest epiphany through all of this along that lines is, as I was going on my journey, I thought I was a hard worker. I thought I put in hours I thought I was always number One Two sales guide every company I have always kind of been that achiever type guy. But when I launched and became a business owner, I realized quickly how lazy I was over my 20-year career being an employee, because I've never worked so hard in my life. I mean, it's wild how, how mentally I've pushed and changed myself along this way to go back to you. I mean, a lot of the things I heard and read in the books now make sense because I've gone through I've gotten punched in the face by life, as I love telling people I'm still here.Yeah, yeah. And what's crazy that maybe doesn't always get focused on is this is coming from somebody who was in the Marines for four years. It's not that he doesn't know how to push his mental toughness it's not that he doesn't know how to work his butt off and get drilled and, and push his body is meant to everything to its breaking point, right? He's already done that. And then he spent 20 years it's so easy for us as humans to revert to and go have this tough stint, but then revert to our childhood rearing and how we were raised rather than continuing on that same vigor, that same intensity to build our future. And as he mentioned, I love that Penny drops like that. I saw the penny drop, right? But like, when you realize, man, I've been building somebody else's life I've been building. Ask yourself that if you're listening to this, whose retirement plan am I? Are you somebody else's retirement plan right now? And if so, is that the way you want it? If that's the way you want it? Look, I'm not. I know that not everybody's an entrepreneur and not everybody wants to be an entrepreneur because it is a lot of risks. It does take being willing to go to Hey, honey, we were out of money. We're broke. It takes being willing to have that conversation and being willing to do the work necessary to get out of that conversation. To be a successful entrepreneur. I understand that But consider whose retirement plan are you? And what are you building for you? Yeah, and I would love that youpulled those phrases. One of the favorite things I love telling people is I had 20 years in sales. And what I learned in sales, training, teaching other salespeople, so a lot of people might be I've got 10 years in sales, 20 years in sales and 30 years in sales. What I found, and I found this a lot in my own life is people didn't have 1020 years in sales, they had year one repeated 10 or 20 times. They never evolve, they never leveled up. And I think, you know, that was a lot of my journey as I went through it is I wasn't involving into a new person myself. I mean, I knew how to show so every conversation was just a different variation of the same conversation, you know, every deal that got done With a different variation of a deal that got done, I never found a second gear. And it wasn't until I started running my own business and there are no excuses. I mean, when you're in your business diverse, there's no one to blame. You know, there's, there's no backup plan. You can't say because Sally didn't do her job, you can't get here, you know, the economy sucks. You know, there's, there's get done, or shut up shop, you know, I mean, that's it. And so when it's all on you, and your back is stacked against it, and you've got to step forward. That's when you start evolving. That's when you start leveling up because you're going to find that mental game that you didn't know you had and that's your hundred percent what happened to me. I mean, you know, the life of an entrepreneur one day you're like, yeah, it's just amazing. I love it. I'm so glad I did the next day, like oh my god, I gotta get the job. You know, and trying to figure this out. It's incredible to really How much you learn about yourself on this journey? And it goes back to you know, the books make sensethat totally. And to kind of bleed into this, this next thing that I just love and want to pull out here, and have you speak about, but for me, so one of them probably, I mean, I have a lot of influential authors and people that have listened to. But one thing that sticks out that shifted my mind, I don't talk about it that often. So I'm glad that we're having this conversation because it just came back to my mind. But the idea of, even if you're an employee, quote, unquote, working for somebody else, Brian Tracy out and remember which book it's in, but he says 500 Yeah, books, but one of the things that he says in one of these books is that you need to treat yourself as a stock, right? And every day you're either adding value or taking away value from your stock. And the reason that shifts shifted the way I treat life from this point on is now I'm no longer just like coasting through life. I'm no longer willing to accept life the same year of life over and over. It's, I'm running a, I run my life. Like I run a business. I'm constantly seeking growth. I'm constantly seeing how can I invest back into me? How can I invest back into these things? What's the benefit of shifting your mindset from your perspective? What's the benefit of shifting your mindset? Because there's a lot of people listen to my podcast who are just fine being moms just fine being dad, sons daughters, and they're necessarily going to go crush it out on business. They might, but my suggestion and this is my belief that they should be applying the same core principles and values, even if that's all they're going to do is just know some life. Build an awesome life. Sospeak to that person. Yeah, no, I love that. I love it. You know, I came to this own theory conclusion that people are living life to plateau. And what I mean by that is, I think people just want to get to that spot in life where they can go, I made it. Here's the problem. That's not a thing. There's never a point in your life that you can get to where you can just go. I made it because what that's called is your comfort zone or complacency, whatever. And when you get to that spot, or you feel like you get to that spot and you stop growth, or you stop the momentum, you start moving forward. What's happening is you're going backward. So to put that into perspective, let's go running a business. If I don't get on podcasts, get on stages do reach out to have a conversation to meet new people every day. And I'm not talking about Monday through Friday employee mindset. I'm talking seven days a week. I am talking, engaging, reaching up. I'm not the 24 seven hustle guy, that's not me. I'm a dude by eight o'clock works done. I'm getting my beauty sleep at 10 right. And probably with a cocktail at my end, you know, but seven days a week. There's gonna be some Sort of activity out there reaching out because if I turn off that business development, my employees don't get paid. Right? So So it's the same thing for the mental game. If you're not every day, cashing those mental checks of investing in yourself, surrounding yourself with the right people getting in bigger conversations, thinking bigger than your family doesn't get paid. Your friends, your close loved ones don't get paid, because all they get is your version of you, versus this lit version of you that should be lighting the world on fire. And I'm not telling you to be an entrepreneur. I think most people shouldn't try this. You know, if I were completely honest, you know, but I'm telling you, if you're going to be a mom, imagine if you're investing in yourself how much more awesome of a mom you can be by investing in your kids. If you're going to be an employee for the rest of your life cool, I have nothing against that. But imagine if you invest in yourself how much better have an employee get? You know, I don't think we were put here to live a mundane life. I think we were put here to go through life lighting other people up by stepping into how awesome we are. And if we look at ourselves as that flame that lights up everybody else's flames, dude, make some bonfires and go big with it. Do you know? It's going back to how are you moving forward? And how are you expanding your knowledge? You know, there's a couple of careers I had, where I wasn't reading any new books, I wasn't going to any conferences. I wasn't getting on any stage or anything. And those lives those years. I can go back and look at my sales numbers from those years. And it's flatlined. make good money, right? But it was a flat line life and those years we didn't take any vacation. We didn't do anything. It was just mundane. I mean, I might as well dress in all gray and just show up to life because that's all I have to do so don't show people that you're sad your life man light up.Yeah, totally. I think that just gave me an awesome idea for recognition in my company. So I'm, I love that idea. Right. But so so another thing that I man, everything that he just said, is pretty much how I live my life. So this is why I get great people on the podcast, partially because I already believe a lot of this stuff. But it sounds better coming from somebody else.But that's all we learned a lot of thingssure. But the other part is its good reminders. I'm there are some things that I've written down here that I've thought about man, I need to do this, but I just haven't. I just haven't done it and so when we meet about the meet and we talk about these things, then I'm able to, to remind Oh, yeah, that's now I have mental space to take care of that I want to take care of that. Speak to this as well, because you mentioned your kind of epiphany you could get into podcasting world as you're on this podcast. So to the guy who's just not successful at it not great at it, and you crush it. Make you feel okay, I can do this. Well, my question would for you to be and maybe talks directly to the audience here. But why is it important to just identify something you're just maybe 10% better at you're not like the best podcast or yet but you know, you know that you can do better than somebody who's serving you already. If you ever feel like a man, I could do better. I could give better service than that person just gave me then you can add value somewhere. Why is that important? And why is it important to recognize those small things?Yeah, no, I love that I'm in here is the interesting thing. I love the pissed-off life. And what I mean by that is when you know one of my friend's Clients came to me one point. And she's like, you know, I'm going to be on big stages. I'm going to do these things and like, Cool, let's go for it. Let's get you on the big stage, let's do the work. And one day, she called me up, and she's almost in tears, just live it. And I'm like, What the hell is going on? And she goes, I just left a conference. And this speaker, who I know got paid $20,000 beyond the stage was one of the worst speakers I've ever seen in my life. And the only thing I could think of the entire time is that should be me. And she's like, I was in this crowd piss the entire time. And I said, Good, let's use that. So I made her take out the picture of that gal that was on stage, not her and put it on a frickin backside of a wall is right behind her monitor. And I'm like, every day that you're baiting, that's what you're going after. And she's now and she hasn't got a $20,000 speech, but she got an $11,000 speech not too long ago. So the massive speech awesome. Yeah. But the trick is Emotion charges everything action takes care of it but it usually takes the emotion to charge it to you know, we have thoughts all day long. But until that thought becomes an emotion behind it we won't typically do anything through it. That's why I like the pissed off motion because you can feel it you don't always feel when you're going into the press side of things. You always feel when you're getting down, but when you're getting pissed off now you're all there. And so what I tell people most times is what do you see in your life that somebody else is doing to your point as you said, that said that literally. You go god why is that person doing it not for me. Because if you find that thing, there's fuel there. And if you go back to the whole idea that we're a flame we're going to light up the people that you find that pissed off a fire that pissed off you and you're going to be amazed at how much light you up. So, for instance, with my podcast, I went and looked at a lot of things. shows and I went and looked at some of the most successful shows in the world. And I missed one and you'll understand what to say I missed one when I was looking at shows. And I found out what they're doing. And what I realized is most of the big shows had been in the game for a while, right? They had a ton of episodes out there, and I'm like, oh, man, they're gonna have a ton of episodes, I gotta catch up. So I launched my podcast as a daily podcast. And I was doing nine interviews every Friday. I was started eight o'clock in the morning, no lunch breaks, barely a bathroom break in would do nine interviews to keep the hopper I was so scared that I wouldn't have enough, you know, content to do a daily show. And we just started putting out content. It was around the 30th episode that I put out that somebody says, Oh, your shows just like John Lee Dumas. And I said, Who the heck is that? And I talked to john a couple of times. And I said, John, this is my story. He goes Well, you say you did your due diligence, but you did not do your due diligence if you had no idea who the heckyeah, like, what? 2500Yeah, at this point, you switched up his podcast. Yeah, he has recently now it's a pay to play type model. But, you know, but it was that thing. And part of what allowed my show to find that early on success was the massive amount of content we were putting out there. And then, you know, we put a lot of moving parts with it. But we learned how to energize the guests to get them to do what we needed them to do to share content and put everything out there. And so we found a lot of cool things to do. And, you know, I became a walking billboard. I literally would go everywhere and wear people out about my podcast, you know, tell them what's on this conversation, but I found ways to sneak in and, and the whole time all I can think was my show is not going to be worse than that, guys. I guarantee my show will never be that bad. So I just kept fighting to make sure it would not get that bad and You know, I was still being tenacious and getting on other shows and everything so it just came to once you get that pissed off, you know, fuel and you use it because it will keep pushing you forward. You can't stay there right you may can't stay there forever. But as damn sure it's like watching the space shuttle that pissed off fuel get you off the platform and halfway up right now turns off the pissed off and start giving back and that'll be the second you know, boost to get you up there. Yeah,I agree. In fact for me and my profession. That's what I like exactly why that's one big reason why I'm in the profession I am and why I'm trying to fulfill the niche that I'm trying to fulfill because there's a lot of people who talk about money and talk about and the energy like if you have a Bob Proctor or that so that's the energy side then you have Dave Ramsey, Tony Robbins. Suze Orman, you have all these people will talk about conceptual money things and then you have the other half the room that the financial advisory field is just, they're just financial advisors like that. They ask you for questions, they, they'll manage your money, but they don't understand the other realm of how the psychological brain works with money. And, and so bringing that understanding with the licenses can really create a powerful combination to actually enable people not just to get the education conceptually, but then to put those strategies that you're helping them identify into place. Yeah, absolutely. And so, I love that because it really is you identify something, it doesn't matter how big that name is, if you think hey, that person is doing it wrong, and I can do it better, more people will like what I'm doing more, I'm gonna have more success, then go chase down the biggest cat in the room, like there's no reason not to. Just go chase them, even if you got half of that guy's successor that woman's success is still gonna be way better than where you're at. doing yourthing. Yeah and what's funny about that is that's how I did my sales career and I didn't even totally recognize it going through my years is every time I went to a new company and I was only in three or four companies, but I would go up to the number one guy and say, Okay, we're number one gal in one case and said, you know, how'd you get here? What did you do? And then I just did everything they did I just did more except for one guy that I can never outsell he's still a jerk in my book but because damn good sales guy but you know when when you got that massive vision of something you want to accomplish and I'm in asked me about goal setting. I think goal setting is an absolute joke and doesn't work. But when you got that massive vision and you can move forward there's very little that can stop you as long as you keep your mindset and emotions in check. Right, Manjeet doesn't check and you can run and gun and literally like this worldwide. Fire.Yeah, absolutely. So what do you think? Like if there was like two or three things, you would say are the biggest kind of mountains that people need to remove, like to get out of their way? Like what are the two biggest things that you see over and over and over and over that are keeping people in their way that they just need to get rid of to ruin them a lot faster?Yeah, it's really easy. The first one fails better. That's it failed that and, you know, what people don't understand is you know, people talked about failures, not a thing, blah, blah, blah, you got a failed away and all that crap, you get thrown around there. Yeah, it's true. It's true. But you got to start planning to fail. And what I mean by that is you got to do things as you know, we're doing our first conference You and I were talking about for him, you know, coming up. And this conference scares the crap out of me because I've never done anything this massive, you know, three days, people coming in from all over the world, multiple speakers. I mean, it just scares the crap out of me to do this thing. But I looked at my team and I said, if we don't scale to the things that we're freak us out, then we're not going to scale the business to the level we're trying to take it. And you know, so they're all along for the ride. And I said, Okay, how do we go on this thing to break? What are we going to break? And so that can become our concept models been for the two years in my company is, what are we going to break today? How do we break it? You know, and how do we go into it knowing it's going to be it's gonna fail, you don't do anything new without failing, right? But knowing is going to fail and just be more prepared for when it does and be okay when it happens. So it's a whole mindset first of literally wrapping your head around, how can I fail better at this, and it works for whatever you're doing in your life for your mom, you know, how can I fail better at teaching my kids something? How can I feel better at trying something new for dinner? You know, if I'm you know, business guy, sales guy, you know, how can I feel better on a sales call? How can I try something new, and that's when you start to get growth because it's never about going through the fear and accomplish it. It's about who you become on the way to conquering that fear. You know, so fail but the second thing and I got to clean this up because the way I say it on stage is a lot more fun is quit giving a damn what anybody thinks about you. You know, because everybody is like walking around with a whiteboard on their chest, handing out freaking magic markers to everybody going Hey, would you please write your words on my chest here. And it's really really, really interesting how much people believe that other people are thinking about them. When in truth, the whole world selfish and nobody's thinking about the other person ever. And you know, so what people do is I won't become an entrepreneur because what will my family say? I won't, you know, go try and get on stage because somebody might laugh at me. I won't have a tough sales conversation or do reach out because they won't like I won't be a financial advisor because there's 50,000 where nobody likes them, you know, and so they're putting all these things out there and waiting for the world to tell them what they're worth. Well, the problem is, is everybody's waiting for the world to tell them what they're worth. If you just the quicker you understand that nobody is thinking about you. It's not that nobody cares about you. It's just we're all selfish and self-centered. That that the quicker you wrap your head around there, and the more you start failing on purpose and failing better, dude, it's a game-changer, because now you can do all that crap you read in the books, where they talk about failing to succeed. That's what they're talking about. And that's where the lack of books makes sense. That's what they're talking about is your faith and you're going into that failure. And it's so much easier when that worried about rejection and everything else. Because you can do anything. You can do lives. You can do podcast interviews you can get on stage is you can go talk to anybody in a room because most times when you meet somebody and they make a response, it's their responsibility. It has nothing to do with who you are. You know, so I mean those are my two biggest things I could add a third one on there has a massive vision you know have something that just gets you out of bed every damn day. And you know, I don't believe that you gotta have a Why? Because I think nobody knows why they don't know why they want to do something. They have theories of why they want to do something but but I will tell you if you have a massive vision like you know where you want to get to like that that freedom number that that place you want to get to manage so much easier to get out of bed every morning going, man I get another shot to go straight at that thing.Yeah, totally. Totally. So when there. I want to shift in because this is I know a big concern of some people I think we've talked about just barely we can talk about in a second. Just stop caring and realize you don't need to care. But one of the things that I wonder, and you kind of alluded to it and feel free to not answer this or choose to answer this as specific as you want, I guess is a better way. But one reason that people are one way that people one reason people will not get into entrepreneurship is financial backing, they just don't understand money enough. They don't understand what creates money. They don't understand. Maybe how much money would take how to finance a transition. What did you do? Because obviously, you left a career you just walked away from something. You had mentioned that you were kind of down to the ropes of like, almost failing, like, what, what did you do in between that time? And how did you understand money to be able to not have that?Yeah, it's a cool question. Um, here's the thing. You don't need money to start a business. You don't have to get financial backing anything to start the caveat If you're going to start a franchise, you better have money to just go she gotta buy the franchise. If you're going to buy a retail store or start a retail store or something like that, you're going to have to have money. But in this day and age in this awesome gig economy that we work and live in, you can start anything. I've got a friend named Bonnie. And I just love time by Bonnie owns four different retail locations right now doing custom shabby chic furniture. Bonnie started that business at her kitchen table making kids clothes. And she had just had the firstborn she was laid off from oil companies were in the oil downturn, and her kids needed more clothes and they did not have the money to buy clothes. So she started making them out of, you know, her husband's old shirts and stuff and so on. And she posted to Facebook, and people are like, Oh, I'd like some of those. So she started making clothes for other people. Well, one day she decided you know that the room she Took some money that she made that and she decided to paint the dresser in her daughter's room. And she just happened to put the picture of the dresser up on Facebook and somebody said oh I'll buy that for like $600 and she's like I bought it for 20 bucks at you know garage sale and I just painted it so look nicer in a room. But if somebody wants 600 bucks, I'll sell it go find another one. So she did. And then somebody else asked Hey, do you have any more those dressers and the next thing you know she turned the converted their entire garage into a furniture store and they were refinishing furniture and that led to they outgrew the garage to our first store that she bought a second store then she bought a third store and they're now at four stores and now they go into houses not only do they sell refurbished furniture, they go in and redo and refinish cabinets inside of houses and she's running crews doing these cabinets. She had no capital whatsoever. She had no money invested in her dancer, they were broke. You know doing it. All she did is just started doing something out of necessity and kept doing it and doing it more and doing it better. And she evolved into an awesome business owner. So So part of the trick is getting the game. Right, the quicker you get in the game, the quicker you start learning things. The second half of that is, is at some point in getting in that game, you're gonna have to switch from employee to business owner, because one of the transitions I made is I was handling all the finances in my business, or my finances sucked. So my business finances, marriage, my finances because I was running in the same way. You know, everything I did in my personal life I was trying to do in my business like that's how you manage money. Well, get out of it. Eventually, you'll get to a point where you bring somebody else in that's their specialty. That's your niche. You never give up your numbers completely. I can tell you every day exactly the amount of revenue comes in my business and what it takes to get there. Right. That's what you do as a business owner. But You've got to bring other people in that geek out on that stuff that you suck at. And let them do their thing.Yeah. Again, this is everything. If you ever read the book, I'm sure you've read it, but the E myth revisited by Michael Gerber. I mean,my 14-year-old move that was my entrepreneur hiccup, which comes from that book. Yeah,no, I mean, it's just a perfect. And that book really, I think, adequately describes the different stages of entrepreneurship and how to make transitions and how to identify what roles are who's and how to how to separate those and hire specifically for roles. I mean, it's just that that book is phenomenal. If you are wanting to go from even a self-employed person to a business owner, they're two separate people and making that distinction. So I'm curious if somebody listened to the show wanted to get a hold of you wanted to either, I don't know if you have free content, obviously, I do. I get all kinds of fun. How would they get ahold of you? Or maybe attend your event happening down in Texas? And how would that happen?To me, I'm pulling up a cheat sheet that I have bear with me two seconds. So if they will send the worddo podcasts for this one. So Phil said the word podcast in a text message 817-318-6030. I'll send them back a five-page workbook. And it's a pretty detailed workbook on how to get work-life balance, you know, and the second line under the title of that book is how do I spend my non-working hours with my family and not working on the business? That was one of the toughest things I had to learn how to do, because it's like, you know, if I don't run this business, I'm out of business. So yeah, literally send the word podcast 817-318-6030 and we'll send that over to you. Another fun way is if you guys are on Facebook at all, and you've ever thought about running business, you're in a business, you're trying to level up and figure it out, go up the Facebook search bar, type in the word success champions, click on groups and come hang out. We have 800 small business owners there. The groups get 90% engagement. We do a ton of things in there. Every Friday, at four o'clock central time, I go live with a glass of Captain Morgan and talk business with all this kind of stuff. We have a lot of fun. We had a ton of people watching the show. So So come hang out with us. It's a good time. Awesome.Yeah, I know. We'll definitely and we'll have links to the various things in the show notes here for you. So this is our last two sections here. They're going to go pretty fast. The second The last one is called legacy on rapid-fire, kind of like a game show. One word, one-sentence answers to these five questions. Are you ready? Go. Good. Perfect. What do you believe is holding you back from reaching the next level of your legacy?Bigger thinking.Awesome. And what do you think the hardest thing you've ever accomplished has beenrunning this business?And what do you think your greatest success to this point in your life isspeaking in Ireland? Speaking in Ireland, what city Do you speak in, by the way, is nine different cities. Oh, he's traveled the world did a whole tour with the podcast. That's awesome. Yeah,I spent six months in Ireland.And I loved every city but Dublin, right? Because of any big city Have you been to Dublin? Yeah, I agree that we enjoyed the countryside.Cool. So what would you say one secret habit, mindset or behavior is what contributes most to your success?Having a routine to start your day every morning.Nice and what are a few books you'd recommend to the fuel your legacy audienceyou know, probably Jensen chero. You're a bad beep beep making money. Phenomenal book. I love that. Automatic Millionaire by David Bach. Phenomenal. Read Millionaire Next Door is another one that's on the financial realms. the business book will go to E myth thinking Grow Rich, it was one of the first books that were ever introduced to. And if you're wanting to run a business a really good one is your high five business workbook.Amen. All of them I've read and they are all fantastic. There's quite a few of them. I've done book reviews on this show and over the last year, so if you want to go see my thoughts on those, go find it there but also go get the book. It's phenomenal. Okay, this is my final question, my favorite question. The whole purpose of this episode, we're going to find out how in alignment you are with your life and your business. So we're going to pretend that you're dead, you died. Okay. And you have the opportunity. Now, I know you don't have any kids. So this is going to be interesting, but we're just going to pretend you do have kids for the feeling of the question, okay. But you can come back and say You're great, great, great, great-grandchildren. So six generations from now, 200 years from now they're sitting around the table discussing your life, your legacy, what you contributed, what do you want them to be saying about you? 200 years from now.He carved the path he took others with them. And he came back to teach the same ways and things he accomplished mean that to me, the hero's journey is my story. You know, it's 100% that that, you know, it took me I tell everybody, I'm a late bloomer to get here. But now, my biggest passion is teaching other people to do what I've done. And I guarantee that generations from now that's where they say is, is he came back and taught us all how to get there.That's, I love it. And I agree that's an if you've listened to this podcast, and you know that that says mission and passion. He didn't have to say it, but I'm glad he did. And we have Well, we're excited. Thank you so much for all of that and a lot those links for guys down in the show notes here so you can get connected with Donnie. Andyeah, let me do one thing for you though just because I love doing this guy if you're listening to the show, do me an honest favor, go leave this guy review.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of The Business of Dance Podcast. Today’s episode is something I am sure all business owners can relate to on some level when you’ve been in the game for a while, which is a plateau. Now, a plateau isn’t always a negative thing. For those who have been in the beginning stages of growing a studio or business may feel relieved that things are flowing finally and there is less “hustle” to be made. Maybe you finally reached your student numbers, and are happy the way things are for the time being which is awesome. When this does happen though, I want others who are wanting to grow their business more to know that it is okay. A plateau is a sign that what you were doing previously worked, but it is now time to step things up a bit and “level up”. Life and business are similar in the sense that we have times where nothing crazy is happening and things are going smoothly after all the hard work we put in. Certain times of the year also play a big factor for signups and overall traffic to your business. That being said, if you are ready to get out of the plateau and take things up a notch in order to skyrocket your business to match the image you have in your mind, this episode is for you. Today I will be talking about how to overcome this plateau and get things moving upward and onward with your business. Let’s dive into the show. Is your business plateauing or are you? There are definitely times in business where things aren't exactly “booming” It can be times of the year or from a variety of circumstances Something to also consider is that everything we feel inward is projected outward (maybe that sounds too woo-woo to some) There will be times as a business owner where you will need to question “Is my business having a plateau, or am I?” Are you feeling like you are having a plateau, or even just a little burnt out? It is never something to feel bad about because the truth is it happens to everyone. Things are finally running smoothly after months or years of sleepless nights and building up your business, that it is natural to want to coast for a little bit But when you are ready to level up again and take things further, it has to start with you Adjusting your mindset to feeling and being ready for the “next big step” is the first step before anything else When you first start to realise you are prepared for the next hurdle and visualise what that looks like to you, then you can dive into the nitty-gritty details of your action plan Again this can take time, so if you are still in that mental plateau don’t stress because it doesn’t last forever Another resource for this is episode 47 which is how to prevent a business owner burnout. You can listen to this episode by going to www.claireosheacoaching.com/ep47 Identify where in your business need to be adjusted or “levelled up” After you adjust your mindset you can look at the business side of things Where do you feel you are plateauing in your business? Is it student number related? Traffic to your website or enquiries? Events or workshops? Where do you feel needs the most attention at the moment? Attracting more excitement & hype about your studio within your community? When we first identify the area that needs to be taken up a notch you can start moving forward into that direction Narrow in on particular issues rather than targeting your whole studio. Sometimes it is an easier fix than we expect, and one area that is tweaked and worked on can be a game changer for the business as a whole. From there you can move forward with what is already working in your business and let go what is not benefiting you or what may be outdated at this time Is it time for an update? The reason a plateau isn’t necessarily a bad thing as mentioned before is that what you were doing got you to where you are today, so in a positive sense, it worked. But is that also the very things keeping you in the same place you are now? If this is not what you want then updating an aspect of your business can be hugely beneficial Things are changing so much in business and technology it is hard to keep up, so in relation to updates, you don’t have to go reinventing everything in your business every time some new invention or strategy is released. The fact is when things are working for you, no matter how old they are there is no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but simply update what is working in order to take things to the next level. This can be as simple as a little website update Adding a new style of dance to your studio the coming term to get others excited for something new Hosting a new workshop or community event to rebuild the hype with your business It doesn’t have to be huge or even a big investment. A little can go a long way at times But when you are ready for something with your business, we have to think about how WE as the business owner will offer or give more (that doesn’t mean for free but of value). What will others get out of the new things we are creating, and how is it different from what we are doing thus far? Build your knowledge My last point is about building your knowledge for how to grow your business in the direction you are wanting to head Once you know where you want to go with your business and overcome your plateau, you can search for more information about how to do just that Chances are that whatever you are currently going through with your business someone else has before you Look into a blog post written about your particular issues, podcast episode or even book Take a course, hire a coach or attend a conference Sometimes we need to step outside of our own circle of knowledge to see things from another perspective, and the best way to do that is to connect with others Ask questions you have on a Dance Community Facebook group (cough cough* Business of dance group) Don’t be afraid to speak up and talk about what you are going through. You never know what kind of information you may stumble upon It doesn’t matter how long you have been in the game, we always have new things to learn Even some of the most successful people have asked for help, hired a coach, enrolled in a program. We can’t know everything, and certainly not right away. Look into your options if you are open to it. But if you are ready to take things to the next level, ask yourself the question of what you are willing to do about it, and the kind of investment, be it time or money.   I really hope you enjoyed this episode and these points inspired you to get out of your plateau. It can take time and isn’t an overnight process. First identify you are in a plateau and to start planning your way out of one is the first step.   The whole reason I started my coaching business as well as this podcast is to help others with the very issues I struggled with. So if you are wanting to take the first step of getting out of the plateau I suggest you take a few minutes to check out my website. I created LOADS of free content, as well as a variety of courses and services. I wanted to make a little something for everyone who is a studio owner wanting to create their dream business. Just seeing what is out there in terms of finding a solution is a great place to start.   I will also take the time to mention my Studio Systems School Special Offer which is unlimited access to the 8-week at-your-own-pace program, a free copy of The Student Signup Strategy ebook, and a free call with me to discuss the direction you want to head with your studio. It is a beyond awesome deal, and am super excited to see everyone reach their goals and highest potential this year!

Jesus asks a lot of questions in our Gospel today. What about you and I? Are we asking questions? This homily covers 2 important questions and the importance of children. God be with you. Fr Zach

As we look at Act 20 we see that we are called to a higher level in following Jesus. We are instructed to know Him fully. We are instructed to serve Him with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength. We are to living a life fully sold out to Jesus. Are you willing to live that way? Are you willing to lean into Him and finish the race He has set for you and I? Are you willing to rely on Him fully to pursue the Great Commission in all you do?
