Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 748 Are your unresolved childhood wounds hijacking your relationships and keeping you stuck in depression or anxiety? Neuro-Rewiring Expert Mike Zeller joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 748, to share how healing your protector parts can transform conflict into deeper connection and trust, why psychedelics can reopen critical social learning periods and give you access to the hidden programming of your mind, and how to move from fear-driven protector parts into authentic flow state. "Our core longing as human beings is connection and love. We think that the wounded, victim, angry self is who we are because that part is in the driver's seat, and we're identified with that feeling. When we do the neuro-rewiring work, we separate that enmeshment. And because of that separation, we can now recognize the patterns and awareness instead of being in it so much that we can't see." - Mike Zeller

Transcript: Intro: Lindsey: Welcome to the Personal Injury Marketing Minute, where we quickly cover the hot topics in the legal marketing world. I'm your host, Lindsey Busfield. As a legal SEO agency, the law firms we work with all have a dedicated interest in growing their firms with strategic marketing initiatives. As such, we field a lot of questions regarding which marketing strategies are worth investing in and which are more hype than results. One organization we have been asked about multiple times is PILMMA. Many of the clients we work with are already PILMMA members and they consistently praise the strategic marketing and business management strategies that they receive as a result of their membership. Additionally, I had the opportunity to meet Ken Hardison, the Founder of PILMMA at their annual summit last year. And while I could talk secondhand about the great work that PILMMA does, nobody is going to be able to explain the game-changing resources PILMMA provides as well as Ken can himself. Thank you so much for joining us today. Ken: Oh, thank you, it's my honor. How Did PILMMA Start? Lindsey: Well, let's start with a little bit of information just about you. Can you share a little bit about your journey from becoming a lawyer to a leader in the legal marketing and management industry? Ken: Yeah, so I started practicing in '82 in a little town called Dunn, North Carolina. And I was a partner in another firm from 82 to 96. And I wanted to start marketing because I had went to court one day, I used to do PI, disability and criminal, and one of the partners did estate, real estate and the other one did domestic. And I went to court and this guy came in with crutches and I said, "What happened, Joe?" He said, "Well, I got hit by a semi." I said, "Well, you know, I do PI." He said, "Yeah, but I hired this guy off the TV." And it just hit me. Well, I went and tried the case and we won the case and I drove back to the office and I told my partner, I said, "I wan to have a meeting," I said, "We have got to change with the times," I said, "We need to start marketing." And they said, "No, it's unprofessional. We're not going to do it." So we had a dialogue for about six months. I left, took one associate and three staff and I went out and kind of went out, spent three days with John Morgan, this is in '96. Back then he only had 25 lawyers. I went Ken Nunn up in Indiana, and I shadowed him for two or three days and then I went and got involved with Dan Kennedy and Jay Abraham, and I just learned everything, read everything I could about marketing and then tried it to law firms. And I went out and mortgaged everything I had to my name, half a million dollars at that time and went on TV and started Yellow Pages. And of course the Yellow Pages are dead now. But anyway, in five years we went from two lawyers, three staff to 13 lawyers, 47 staff, and the rest is history. 2010, I just got up one morning and I just wasn't challenged, I wasn't looking forward to going to work, and I said, "I think I'm ready to do something else." And so I sold a law firm and I was going to retire, and I moved down to Myrtle Beach from Raleigh, I was living in Raleigh then, and I fished in golf for about six months,

And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Ilana Wechsler, the hardest thing in growing a small business is when business owners have to wear many different hats and are not large enough to hire people to alleviate the business owner to do what they are best at1. She mentions that this was a struggle that she found herself in and why her growth was not as significant as it could have been. What's your favourite business book that has helped you the most? Ilana Wechsler's favorite business books include "Buy Back Your Time" by Dan Martell, which highlights the power of delegation to scale effectively, Alex Hormozi's "100M Offers" and "100M Leads", which helped her refine lead generation strategies, and Jay Abraham's "Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got", which shaped her focus on maximizing value for existing customers over solely chasing new ones. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Ilana Wechsler recommends several resources for small business growth, including podcasts and online learning tools. She suggests listening to James Schramko's podcast, as he is a long-time mentor, and the podcast "How I Built This"1. For online learning, she highly recommends using Google Ads, noting that while its effectiveness depends on the business type, it can be very beneficial. Additionally, she advocates starting a YouTube channel as a powerful, long-term strategy for business growth that provides stable and lasting results, offering more sustainability than social media. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Ilana Wechsler recommends several key tools and resources for small business growth, primarily focusing on online strategies. She considers Google Ads to be a top recommendation for its effectiveness in reaching potential customers at the point of search, but also emphasizes starting a YouTube channel for long-term, stable results. Furthermore, she stresses the importance of understanding your key business numbers. She also notes that other effective strategies include podcasting and speaking at events.  What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? If Ilana Wechsler could go back to day one of starting her business, she would tell herself that it's going to be harder than you think and that she was very naive going in. She would also advise herself to focus on enjoying the journey, because once you reach one goal, you'll just move to the next one. She emphasizes you have to enjoy the journey because you'll never reach a point where you don't want to grow anymore.   Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course.

Have you ever wondered how scammers succeed? What tempts people to fall into their traps, and how can we protect ourselves? Today, I’m excited to dive into this topic with my incredible friend, mentor, and business coach, Mike Johnston. This is part one of a very special three-part series on scams—a topic that’s deeply personal for me, because I was scammed. This series was recorded months ago. At the time, I wasn’t even sure I had been scammed. A whirlwind of revelations followed, including legal proceedings involving the individual who scammed me, someone operating under the names Tiffany Black or Tiffany Bentley. Authorities now believe many other victims have yet to come forward. If you think this sounds familiar or know you’ve been affected, please contact the Tweed Heads Police Station in Australia to share your story. Scammers thrive on silence, and by speaking out, we can prevent others from becoming victims. In this episode, Mike and I share our personal experiences with scams, along with valuable insights and strategies for protecting yourself. We’ve also included updates on how to spot common scams and ways to avoid emotional traps. If you have been a victim too, let me remind you: it’s not your fault and you are not alone. Scammers are skilled at making you feel to blame. And to those who may be engaging in harmful practices, I urge you to reconsider, the ripple effects of your actions are far-reaching.

A SUPER DEEP ONE! In this inspiring episode of The Coffee o'clock Podcast, I'm joined by the extraordinary Shiny Burcu Unsal!

The publishing platform Medium's been around for years. But the company has made a few changes recently that might make you reconsider whether or not you should be writing on Medium. Our guest for the 419th episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast is Thomas Smith. I asked Thomas to share some of the reasons Medium has become a place for readers to find great content as well as a place for writers to not just share their thoughts, but also to potentially earn a respectable income stream by posting thoughts there instead of social media or your own blog. Why Thomas? Well, he's earned more than $19,000 for a single post on the platform, and well over six figures over the past couple of years. So he knows a thing of two. And he shared it all on this episode. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript.   Stuff to check out: Thomas's Thrive on Medium Course How to Find Clients 36-page Mini-book The FREE Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground   Full Transcript: Rob Marsh:  It's been said so often that it's almost become a meme… there's this idea that successful millionaires… or maybe its billionaires, I can't quite remember, but successful millionaires have on average seven different streams of income. They may have a salary or income from a business they own, they earn dividends on their investments, maybe they have income from property they own, and so on. And people share this idea with the intention that those of us who hear it will also think about ways to add different potential income streams to our businesses. But as a content writer or a copywriter, you may not have access to investment that pay dividends yet. Or property you can rent out. Or many of the other more traditional ways these very wealthy people earn money. But that doesn't mean that there aren't options for us. In fact, some of these options may be easier for you and me, than for the Jeff Bezos and Elon Musks of the world to capitalize on. Hi I'm Rob Marsh and on today's episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast, I talked with successful Medium writer, Thomas Smith. Thomas has been writing on and making good money with Medium. He recently released a course that shows how he does it. And I wanted to chat with him about the possibilities for content writers and copywriters to use Medium as a potential revenue source—especially for the kinds of writing we might want to do for ourselves instead of our clients. If you write for you… you may want to listen to this episode twice so you pick up on all the ideas Thomas shares about growing an audience and income stream using Medium. Before we get to that though… you hear me tell you about several resources that we've put together to help you build and grow a writing business. I'm going to quickly list a few of them here so you can get the help you need… we have a free facebook group called The Copywriter Club.

Welcome back to Making Bank! Today's episode we have, Jay Abraham, who is a renowned marketing strategist and business consultant known for his innovative approaches to business growth and revenue generation. With decades of experience, he has helped numerous companies achieve remarkable success through strategic insights, creative marketing solutions, and effective business strategies. His expertise in maximizing profits and enhancing business performance has made him a highly sought-after advisor and speaker in the world of entrepreneurship.   (1:40) Background By 18, Jay Abraham had two kids and, by 20, faced responsibilities typically for someone much older. With no formal education, he only found clerical jobs and decided to pursue an entrepreneurial path. He worked on commission-based opportunities, holding three full-time jobs for several years.   (6:59) Business Growth The "Strategy of Preeminence" is relevant to business growth because it focuses on establishing a business as the most trusted advisor in its market. By doing so, it helps companies differentiate themselves from competitors, build stronger customer loyalty, and enhance profitability. This approach leads to sustainable growth by positioning the business as the preferred choice for clients.   (18:47) High Performance The key to accelerating success and achieving higher prosperity is forming strategic alliances. Identify partners who already possess trust, credibility, and access to your target market. This approach goes beyond superficial affiliate programs, fostering strong, impactful relationships that enhance performance and growth.   (24:03) Generating More Sales Optimization means maximizing the use of your time, resources, and market access. Many businesses fail to do this effectively because they follow industry norms, which are often suboptimal. To generate more sales, focus on innovative strategies and broader possibilities rather than conventional approaches.   (29:42) Offering Value If you're not creating goodwill, it means you're not providing enough value. Many businesses rely on referrals for significant revenue but still spend heavily on advertising and trade shows. Instead, focus on formalizing your referral process, which costs nothing if executed well, and prioritize delivering exceptional value to generate more referrals.   (32:13) Increasing Referrals Without referrals, you'll need to invest significantly in research, support, and advertising, which is more costly and less effective. Focusing on enhancing the customer experience can boost referrals and reduce the need for expensive alternatives.   (37:29) Proacting Clearly defining your ideal connections, such as a reliable, professional individual aged 40-50, helps you focus your efforts and achieve results. Proactively framing what you seek and taking strategic action often reveals untapped potential and performance improvements in every area of your work.   Tags: Instagram:@realjayabraham

Curtis shares his insights on achieving financial stability and freedom by prioritizing profit, paying yourself first, and creating a business that generates passive income. Show Notes: Curtis May, a financial advisor and host of the Practical Wealth Show podcast, who shares his approach to mastering cash flow management joins Gary on the podcast. Curtis explains his philosophy on cash flow management, emphasizing the importance of paying yourself first, just as you would your employees, and setting aside money for taxes. He recommends creating a profit-and-loss statement weekly and allocating 15% of gross revenue for owners' pay. Curtis highlights the importance of building a business that generates passive income and assets that produce income without active involvement. He advises business owners to focus on creating a business that can operate independently, rather than relying on active income from their business. Curtis stresses the need for a solid financial foundation before investing and cautions against placing money in a 401(k) or other investment vehicles that may limit liquidity and control. Instead, he recommends investing in cash-flowing assets like real estate or notes that provide a steady income stream. Curtis concludes by recommending Jay Abraham's book, "Business Without Risk," as a resource for business owners looking to grow their revenue without spending money on advertising.

      Pablo's Journey to Business Coaching Pablo shared how he invented the term "business coaching" in 1996 after a significant career change. He had been working as a consultant for large tech companies, but left his job to pursue his life's work after a voice in his head urged him to get busy. His friends suggested he become a coach, which initially didn't interest him, but after realizing he could apply his business experience to help others grow their companies, he started his own coaching business. Over the past 28 years, he has honed his skills to specialize in adding revenues to businesses, avoiding leadership coaching and corporate politics. Maximizing Revenue and Managing Expenses Michael highlighted the importance of managing both revenue and expenses for optimal organizational performance. He emphasized that focusing on revenue generation could lead to cost efficiencies and increased profits, which could also be seen as a form of revenue. He also criticized consultants who delve into too many details, instead advocating for a focused approach to identifying areas of improvement. Pablo agreed with Michael's points, particularly the emphasis on revenue growth. Pursuing Passion for Business Success Pablo and Michael discussed the importance of pursuing one's passion to prevent burnout and achieve business success. Pablo, who transitioned from programming to coaching, emphasized the value of focusing on revenue growth rather than expense-cutting. Michael shared his unsuccessful attempt at becoming a CPA and highlighted the example of John Madden as a successful career changer. They both agreed on the importance of keeping an open mind and being willing to try new things to find one's true calling in life. Furthermore, they touched on the experiences of their family members, discussing the potential of their daughter and cousin becoming coaches. Music, Creativity, and Burnout Prevention Michael and Pablo discussed the significance of music and its ability to evoke different emotions and memories in listeners. Michael shared the story of a friend who created his own successful guitar pedal company, emphasizing the importance of understanding the 'why' behind one's work to prevent burnout. Pablo agreed and shared his personal strategy of incorporating creative activities into his work routine to maintain focus and prevent burnout. Both underscored the importance of enjoying life and pursuing one's passions to prevent burnout and achieve creativity. Connecting With Pablo and Discussing ADHD Pablo, whose website is Lemberg.com, encourages people to connect with him through his blog or contact page. Michael appreciates Pablo's openness and his conversational format that makes listeners feel like they are eavesdropping on a casual chat.  Bio: Paul became an entrepreneur at 27. He sold his first company for just under $9mm and sold his second company to a large German bank. He's published three books, including the business best-seller Be Unreasonable.
