Podcast appearances and mentions of jeremy frandsen

A Review of the Last 6 Years with Kevin Appleby & Graham Arrowsmith After 6 years of podcasting, Graham and Kevin decided to review what they'd achieved in this milestone 300th episode. Prior to the podcast in our way, we agreed to discuss 3 things that have been good for us and 3 things that have not been so good during that time. And not just for the podcast, but for our businesses too. Kevin pays homage to Internet Business Mastery Without both Kevin and I listening to the Internet Business Mastery podcast, we would not have even met, let alone start a podcast. The presenters of this popular show, have both been guests on The Next 100 Days. Here are the links to their shows with us. Jeremy Frandsen - #100 Lifestyle Design Jason Van Orden - #223 Thought Leadership Kevin Blames Internet Business Mastery for Making it Sound Too Easy! Kevin was in determined mood. On his list of didn't go so well, they were at the top of his negative list too! http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Kevin-Internet-Business-Mastery-Podcast.mp4 Kevin relented! Jeremy and Jason brought us together. Kevin also got to know another previous two-time guest - Russell Thackeray too. Additionally, for Kevin, he is also forging a business relationship with Dan Wells in their Grow CFO business. Strengths of The Next 100 Days Podcast Another review point Kevin makes is that our consistency in producing episodes helps us attract guests. Many of our guests introduce themselves to us through the APPLICATION form on this website! Graham pointed out that many of our guests are ex-corporate, probably running their own businesses and like to have fun. They don't take themselves too seriously! http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Strengths-of-The-Next-100-Days-Podcast.mp4 But is The Next 100 Days Podcast TOO GENERAL? Kevin pointed out that we have been a generalist podcast. In this way, has it been both success and failure. Success in that we have brought so many very interesting guests, covering a wide arc of topics. But could we have done better, by being highly focused on one or two markets? We are not niche. If we provide a service for everyone, you are providing a show for no-one. Kevin made the point that his Grow CFO shows grown quickly because it is focused on a small audience. It is relevant to them. Graham made the point that in the next 100 days, in a business context, topics could be virtually anything. It's Difficult to Scale a Podcast http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Kevin-Diffcult-to-Scale-a-Podcast.mp4 The lesson to be learned is be clear about WHY you want to do it and to WHOM will you provide the service to. Accurate Thinking Graham made the case that when the podcast was being first thought of, both Kevin and Graham were probably not displaying Accurate Thinking. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Graham-Accurate-Thinking.mp4 In Renegade Millionaire, Dan Kennedy uses accurate as in "knowing facts you may not want to know". For Graham, delegation has been a negative. Recently, we used a photo without permission and that cost Kevin and Graham. Graham cited a legal agreement that he probably ought not to have entered, and with better accurate thinking he would have avoided. So, with both staffing issues and contracts, accurate thinking - delving into the facts you mat not want to know, a better outcome would have been possible. Fail Fast, Fail Forward Kevin mentions how he has achieved results through people. Especially with his involvement with GrowCFO. Dan Wells and Kevin brought complementary skills. Then they needed mentoring. After that they transformed their website with a person focused on their website. Graham notes he needs to refresh his website, so he wants to get his website updated. Kevin said Finely Fettled's website is purely being used as a lead generation tool. It is.

I love getting success stories and breakthrough stories, even after all these years. Every one of them makes me excited and proud for doing what I do. Success can be just getting yourself started and taking daily action after years of being crippled with doubt. Success goes all the way from taking that first action all the way to the freedom destination you have in mind. It's all the steps you actually take. It's making a huge mistake and then fixing it and continuing on. I want to share with you a success breakthrough that I got and I'll comment after: "Breakthrough! I 'finally' took my Top Strength of 'INPUT' (always collecting information) lol and put it to action with Jeremy Frandsen and Jason's 'Writing and Selling Your First eBook in 30 Days or Less!'. I finished and sold my first eBook yesterday. Action, action, action. Thanks IBM for the push! I sold two copies last night, my first day, and even though it's only 2, I'm celebrating each milestone, because before it was nothing. You can't share what you don't put out. Happy Friday everyone!" Lisa M. --Congrats Lisa! You just hit the Money Milestone and it's a big one. I love to hear about the first dollar made online, 'cause it is what can start a HUGE mindset shift in an entrepreneur's mind. It's that moment when this all becomes real. You realize that YOU can actually make money online. For most people, it's all a dream until that first dollar comes in and then the lightbulb flips on and possibility really kicks in. Congrats on getting over the Info Gathering Stage and moving on to the Implementation Stage. The Implementation Stage is where the money is made, as you just saw! *** Gather just enough info to implement what you've learned BEFORE you gather more info, that's what finally got me to the Money Milestone. If you want to get your hands on the eBook Lisa is talking about, Writing and Selling Your First eBook in 30 Days or Less, it's in the Beginner Action Guides section of the Freedom Club.

Does your business stop you having the life you want? Jeremy Frandsen tells us all about lifestyle design and how to make your business fit your lifestyle and not the other way round. About Jeremy Frandsen Jeremy Frandsen is our special guest to celebrate our 100th episode of The Next 100 Days. We're delighted that Jeremy joins us all the way from Salt Lake City, Utah. Our podcast arose as a result of both of us signing up for a spin-off course and associated Facebook group from the long running show – Internet Business Mastery. Back in 2003, Jeremy was working in a cubicle office, with an hour commute either way. He was unhappy. He didn't understand that he could start a business. A colleague presented him with a book that stimulated him to go start a business. Later, he met up with Jason Van Orden, they went onto create a podcast, to talk about the things that were working for them. That was 2004. Their First Product They were asked about providing a course based on their podcast. They decided to offer one at $2,000. To prove that no-one would want their product! They had their own businesses, and they weren't thinking of the podcast as their own business. And as they were so busy already, they thought let's do the course at an insane price. They put out 35 slots, and it sold out in about 5 minutes! Then they made the course. The podcast helped them to a multi-million-dollar business. They have been all over the world speaking. They have been in business for 13 years. Lifestyle Design 18 months ago, Jason and Jeremy started to discuss how they could pursue their own new paths. They still have Internet Business Mastery… https://www.internetbusinessmastery.com …but they wanted to pursue their own interests. Jason was always more the technical guy and Jeremy the mindset guy. Jason wanted to take his skills to the next level and work with people who already had businesses as opposed to IBM which is all about the beginner, helping them get started and create a freedom business. Jeremy decided his next business would be more about personal development. So, these changes meant that Jason and Jeremy had to figure out how to change the IBM business to suit their desired lifestyles. In effect, the new projects that Jason and Jeremy are following is in effect developing the original lifestyle business, that was Internet Business Mastery. They met Tim Ferris, author of “The 4 Hour Workweek”. https://fourhourworkweek.com Jeremy wanted to stay home and make enough money to stay home. His first business sort of did that, but it took a massive toll on Jeremy. In order to grow it on top of the 12 hour days and 7 day work weeks, he would have to work more. Sound familiar? So, Jeremy DIDN'T have a lifestyle business. So, when Jason and Jeremy got to the point of realising that IBM was a business, they decide it had to be a lifestyle business: That they'd enjoy it. And they could still have their lives – Jason has been a traveller – France, Argentina, Portland, New York. They designed a business around a lifestyle they wanted. Designing a Lifestyle Business A lot of listeners may relate to Jeremy in the cubicle. What are the steps to get out of that position? Design it ahead of time. Their online course helps you design the business ahead of time Around a life that will keep you happy for years? How do you make your business so you are not unhappy in 10 years. Jeremy hated his first business. What made Jeremy dislike his business? He was doing everything. Jeremy was afraid to hire someone. He didn't want a person in his home. He had to make, ship and sell the physical products. But he was sacrificing his life that he was unhappy about. He was lucky the business worked, but was unhappy with it. Given businesses fail regularly, he was pleased he survived. How did they design the IBM lifestyle business? With IBM, they wrote out all the jobs that needed doing.

Welcome back to Season 2 Episode 3. Today I am going to talk about the power of a sabbatical. What I'm already finding just with two and a half months off my business is that I have finally given myself the space to reflect and to look back on all the accomplishments that I've had so far, that maybe, just maybe, I'd forgotten about. If you are a business owner, you totally know what I am talking about. How often do we pat ourselves on our back and congratulate ourselves on how far we've come? Seven years in business, that's how long it's been since I had my business, since I started officially April 2010 and until I took the timeout and time off of my business, I didn't realize all the things that I'd actually managed to do. The reason why that came about is when I had the down time to not be working on stuff, I took a trip down memory lane and thought about the products and services that I've created since I started, all the blog posts that I've written. I had a few people linking to blog posts from like 2011 and I was like, "I wrote that post? This is actually pretty good.” Then I just had a chance to reconnect with clients from years ago, from cleaning stuff up and going back through old folders, I forgot that I've coached these people. I wondered, where are they now and what are they doing? So when I am back online in July, I really want to reconnect with some of my first ever clients and community members. What it's forced me to do on the sabbatical is actually go back to my roots and think about all the things I loved when I first started out. If you think back to your business, what were the things that made you so excited and so happy to be doing what you did that got you up every single morning and kept you up late at night when you were hustling and doing everything you wanted to do on your business? What were those things? The reason I even needed to take a break from my business is I'd forgotten what I loved about it in the first place. So this sabbatical has helped me to gain perspective. It's forced me into slightly darker places where I've been playing the comparison game. Because I've been watching on social media from the sidelines, people doing things and launching. And I just get caught up in that and normally my go to is I'd follow that launch, I emulate it, I take notes from it, improve on it and learn from it. But I don't want any of that in my world! I don't want any distraction. I don't want to know what other people are doing. So I put the Facebook Ad Blocker on. I just want to reconnect with my friends, get back to my roots and get perspective on how far I've come but also how much more I can do & how much more I can offer. I needed to reconnect with what it was that I fell in love with at the very beginning. I just want to have a little insert here from my friend JC Bougle, who actually is recovering from burnout. As I've mentioned before in this podcast, I almost burnout when I first self-published my book, The Suitcase Entrepreneur back in 2013 and I didn't even realize I was so close to it. The problem is when you don't take a sabbatical, a break or holidays from your business and you just go hard out for years, you burnout. Then you are forced into a break that you don't want to be on: where your body can't recover, where your mind is jaded and stuck and where you actually physically aren't able to do much work anymore and I just don't want you to get to that place. This is gold. Here's what he had to say: "What happened to me last year is that I was very close to burnout and no enthusiasm for business, for entrepreneurship and no energy. And I couldn't take a long sabbatical really to disconnect from the business so I took a short sabbatical for a couple of weeks. I really disconnected from anything online and after that which was even more important in my recovery after 2 weeks of disconnection, I really paced myself along with the expectations of what I could achieve and I also set a less ambitious goals for myself and worked a little bit more intensely. This helped me a lot to recover completely from this burnout. Pacing yourself after the sabbatical is as important as taking a real break." And then I had my friend Jesse Krieger of Lifestyle Entrepreneur Press, who posted on Facebook about a month ago about his retreat away from his business for a week. He wrote: "I've just arrived back from a week retreat in the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Peru. Quite honestly, one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. This is the first time I've been offline all year and it was relaxing, reinvigorating and full of insights as I sat deep in meditation in the Peruvian Andes. My host was Javier Regueiro, author of the two books that I'll be publishing in September, "Ayahuasca: Soul Medicine of the Amazon Jungle” and "San Pedro Huachuma: Opening Pathways to the Heart”. It's hard to overstate the importance of taking time just for yourself. Not being beholden into anyone, not needing to have any conversation. People just simply sit and enjoy the surroundings and become aware of whatever thoughts and emotions arise. While deep in meditation, it came to me that my role as a publisher resembles that of a crystal. A crystal such as the quartz is transparent and can be carved in a way that focuses energy, taking diffused light and focusing it on point almost as a laser. In short, I got the insight that I am a crystal and you are the light and that is my new approach to working with authors and publishing and its good to be home.” And now I want to bring back in Jason Van Orden who you heard about on the last podcast, "Firing myself” because he did exactly the same thing with his very successful 7-figure business that he ran with Jeremy Frandsen for years. Here is what Jason had to say: "Truthfully it was really fast for me. I am not saying it was the right thing to do. In hindsight, there's a lot of realizations here. But basically I was so ready to be removed. And that might have been maybe a little too fast to remove myself. We probably needed a little more processes in place, expectations set and measurements. Fast forward several months and it kind of came to this realization that the point of the business is that when I left, when we left or we kind of stepped away, was she was going to be able to maintain it. But we hadn't changed things over in terms of systems and teams and all the other things that kind of needed to be there for a proper exit or removal of ourselves for it to continue growing consistently like it had been before. So we are faced with this choice: do we go back in to start it growing again or do we just say, "Okay it is what it is. It's this nice source of income and for now it's going still but we have no more expectations of this actually becoming any bigger than it already is."” So insightful right? It's really neat to hear from other people who have taken some time out or forced themselves away from their business or literally just shut something down because its not working. I think as entrepreneurs we need to give ourselves that permission to do that more often than we ever think because it is incredibly powerful and you just don't understand how important it is that we recharge our batteries. I also like to think there's a bit of a 7-year itch thing going on here. I appreciate Jason and Jeremy it was well over a decade but a lot of people that I've been speaking to recently have been in business for around 7 years and they are tired. And let's face it, any job that you've been in 7 years is a long time in a job right? These days most people are in jobs for 1, 2 or 3 years in max. It's the norm for millennials to switch jobs incessantly. Where as back in my Dad's/Mum's days, you'll stay in a job for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years plus! And you get a little golden watch at the end of it if you were lucky, a handshake and a thank you very much. But when I was in the corporate world, I'd switch jobs all the time because I would get so bored or I just wanted to change it up. Then I realized I really just needed to be an entrepreneur where I could work on my own projects all the time, change them at a speed of light and work on multiple projects that excited me. The great news is the whole point of this entire episode is that I found more freedom. It's so good! I am filling my days with painting and practicing piano. (I lie on that I haven't actually touched the piano but I am going to today.) And training my puppy which is like a full-time job and I am learning so much. Training myself I should really say not my puppy. In training myself, I am effectively training my dog to be more obedient and awesome. You can find Kayla, the white German Shepherd on Instagram at kaylathemajestic. If you want some joy in your day, go follow her. And you can follow my adventures at nataliesisson or my Facebook page. For me personally, now that I've eased into my sabbatical, I've had all these opportunities come my way to work with other people on their businesses, help them start businesses, be on teams and I am resisting all of these things until I finish my sabbatical. I really want to look at where I am heading because I've got the mojo back, people! I have got the mojo back! And I am very excited to bring this back to my business. Natalie is back! I am super excited to be creating and implementing when I get back into it but until then I am still on a sabbatical. And in the next episode, I am thrilled to bring you daily habits of freedom. Before I went on a sabbatical, I asked my community about their daily habits that they have to give them a little bit more freedom in life and these are going to apply to you personally and professionally, so make sure you tune into the next episode by subscribing in iTunes and Stitcher.

Yup I fired myself. That's what I did. April 1st, 2017 I fired myself from my business and went on a business sabbatical. So you may be wondering what prompted me to take a business sabbatical in the first place. Let me take you back to September 2016. I was in Australia speaking at Problogger and staying in this amazing suite Darren Rowse and the team organized for me as a paid speaker. The view was incredible and the hotel complex was too. I was there to do a Tony Robbins style pump up session in between keynotes and also to run a session track on how to have a lucrative sales funnel that converts. Josh was with me and that made it extra special as it was his first real look into my world and the circles I connected with as well as some of my community who were there. I even managed to get in some videos for a Ten Day Freedom Plan Blog challenge with my fave videographer Mick Russell. After that we had some quality time in Byron Bay and a surf session before heading to San Diego, US where Josh was speaking at a conference in an entirely different area to what I operate in, and then I was speaking at FinCon. Both our events were back to back and we were fortunate to stay in lovely hotels once again with sunshine and swimming pools. The trouble was I was in launch mode for my signature program, The Freedom Plan. Even though I've launched this four times before, and even though I was super systemized this was my first time taking my team through a launch and training them up at the same time. I was working in between time and not doing the normal networking and socializing at conferences that I like to do. In fact I really didn’t feel like it. I was kind of tapped out and feeling a bit jaded and while I was enjoying the relatively new romance with Josh I wasn’t enjoying what I almost always have done, the art of launching and running my business. It all felt heavy. And as much as my team tried to keep up and do their best, I just felt like I was pulling their weight and mine. As a result I was exhausted. I’ve come to realize over the years that for whatever reason, I am incredibly focused and can work at speed on almost any task I set my mind to. Until I worked with around 6 people on my team during a launch I realized this was not normal, and that you have to respect and understand other people's’ working methods. It’s just that during a launch it’s really hard to do this - you NEED to work at pace and everything needs to be timed super well and you do actually need to do things on the fly and change tactics at any point to reflect the nature of how your launch is going, and how people are responding. While this is great and exciting for a Wealth Dynamics Entrepreneurial ‘Star’ Profile like myself, it’s a nightmare for a Lord or Mechanic who have a much more grounded energy and need detailed plans and order to work best. So to them it looked like we were out of control but to me it seems very very much in tuned with exactly how everything should be going along. And slowly but surely deadlines got missed, communications broke down, things didn’t go out on time and it ended up being the worst launch that I’ve ever done. I still made close to $40,000 in the space of a couple of weeks but I spent a lot more on my team. I spent a lot on advertising. And at the end of the day, it just really felt heavy. And it wasn’t a successful launch and I felt like my list and my community just felt tapped out including myself. I remember getting off a live webinar where a thousand people turned up and the energy was fantastic but the results from it were not great. And I sat back at the end of that webinar and I was like, "That's it. I'm done. I just don’t understand why this is not going well and I have had enough. I have run this launch before and it's an amazing program and I made multiple six figures! I know it works and I know it gets people results and I just don’t understand what happened. This was a flop. The ironic thing was I was running a Freedom Lab at the same time and this is where I actually show you real-time, something that I am doing. So I have done one on “Write the Damn Book - how to write a book in three months but the first one was called “How to Launch like a Rockstar. And so people following along my launch live, every tactic we were doing around Facebook advertising, emailing and sales copy and I was sharing it live through videos, through blog posts. Here I was at the end going AND it was a big flop! It might not look like it to you, but transparently doing something live and sharing the real results when they don't come off how they should is embarrassing and at the same time very real. If anything it taught me, our team and everybody else out there a lesson that shit does not always go right. So that is when I decided, I am going to fire myself and it was such a great decision to make, but that was in late September, early October and I did not end up taking my business sabbatical until the first of April. And why was that? A couple of reasons: We were changing over to a brand new design for The Suitcase Entrepreneur which looks amazing. (Thank you Filipe - my team member in Portugal!) We were changing the website over so we were using a new theme and Kasia - WP Rockstar, who has been through my Freedom Plan, she handled all of that. We were changing from Infusionsoft over to ConvertKit for email, Clickfunnels for my sales funnels Leadpages and landing pages. Closing down the Leadpages pages that I had. And shifting over my courses and creating new ones on Teachable. So November and December were massive months. And even though I thought all those changes are beneficial, they actually affected my business for the next two or three months in a bad way. Just because when you change systems and change lots of things - like we took a ton of pages away from my website, we leaned it right out from over a hundred pages and 950 blog posts right down to just several pages! We took a lot of our landing pages and sales funnels over to Clickfunnels and the traffic dropped because we were just cleaning everything up. So what prompted me to think that firing myself was a great idea? I have been on a few digital sabbaticals before when you go completely offline and of course when I was cycling down Africa in 2012, I was pretty much away from my business for a good two months. I remember clearly from that that I forgot about my business, I did not worry about anything because I was so busy cycling up to a 150 km a day. I felt freer than ever while I was cycling down Africa, simply just waking up in the morning, crawling out of my tent, putting out my bike, having breakfast and just hitting the road. At the same time, my business was doing just fine. I was in my early stages, my virtual assistant, that I had hired just before I left, was doing a great job. And it made me appreciate that it had been a long time since I had really left my business behind and handed it over to people I trusted or just trusted in the systems that I had built. I thought for me, as a freedomist who is constantly preaching you need great systems, you need to outsource, you need the right tools and you need great sales funnel, I was like, Well, why not put mine to the test by removing myself as the bottleneck of my business? Around this time I actually chatted to Jason Van Orden, a good friend who used to have Internet Business Mastery with Jeremy Frandsen and he had also gone on a business sabbatical. In fact, they handed over to a CEO to run it, so I had a quick chat to him because I was interested to learn from him: what went well, what did not and why he took that step. Here is the conversation we had about it: Eventually I had to stop and ask myself why there was that waning in motivation. I’m sure partly I was maybe scared a little bit to look at that but what does it mean? What if I ended up figuring out I've got the wrong business or that I am done with this business. One thing that finally helped is when I went on a personal retreat. By then we were living on Paris so I went to Prague for 4 or 5 days. I did a little soul searching, journaling, thinking and I remember coming back from that and just saying to my wife, "I think I need a sabbatical from this business". So I asked Jason, how long did that take you to remove yourself from your business and here is his response. Truthfully it was really fast for me but I am not saying it was the right thing to do. In hindsight, there’s a lot of realizations here but basically I was so ready to be removed and that might have been maybe a little too fast. We probably needed a few more processes in place, expectations and measurements. So as you can see it was really quick for Jason once he made that decision. I have to say for me, I made that decision pretty instantly, the minute that launch finished, that I was going to take a time off. Then I spent the time just gearing up my team to be able to survive without me and to show them it was fully possible that without me in the business, it potentially would go even better! Because as the CEO of your business often, you do end up still doing things, making the shots, calling the shots, having the key relationships and all those things. Usually that is a great thing but sometimes you can just hold on a little too tight. You just need to release and beauty comes into the picture. Things that you'd never even considered before. And I am going to talk about those in Episode 3 for Season 2, so make sure you tune into the next episode by subscribing in iTunes and Stitcher. I would love for you to share in the comments section below: Have you ever taken a business sabbatical? What freaks you out about doing that? Have you thought about firing yourself when you've been a little less motivated in your business recently? Tell me where you are at. I want to know. I am doing this for you so I really want your insights. Stay tuned for the next episode of Season 2 where Jason Van Orden will tell us about what actually happened when he basically took a break from his business. We'll also have some other key guests on here that I think you are going to love with their discoveries on this topic. Want to sell your own online courses (and have a great launch)?

6 People Who Can Help You With Your Podcast – Episode 152   Surround yourself with the best people and success can be had.   Over my years in radio, I learned time and again that I could accomplish so much more by getting help and mentoring from the right people. As I ventured into podcasting, I quickly found the people that could mentor me and help me move forward toward my goals.   Today, I want to share with you a few people I think might be able to help you on your podcasting journey. Some I know personally and work with closely. Some have mentored me from afar through their work and resources.   Whichever method you choose to use, find the people that can help you get to your goals quicker and achieve more than you ever thought possible.     School of Podcasting – Dave Jackson   The first person I want to introduce you to is Dave Jackson at School of Podcasting. If you have listened to my podcast for any length of time, you have heard me mention Dave. He has been my mentor, helping me learn the technical side of podcasting.   Dave's coaching and tutorials have helped me more than anyone I have encountered.   My podcast actually started out as a blog. Back in early 2012, I was writing about the art of podcasting while learning the technical side and preparing to launch my show. Less than four months into it, my writings were being published on the New Media Expo site.   Shortly after I began writing for New Media Expo, Dave saw my stuff and reached out. Dave was already on my radar, because I had discovered his website when I was doing my original research. I simply hadn't considered reaching out to a guy who had been doing it for about 7 years at that point. He was there near the beginning.   Dave's gesture reaching out to me was a fantastic surprise. We had a great conversation that lasted about an hour. Here was a guy that had been podcasting since 2005 that just wanted to get to know more about what I was doing and how we might help each other. That is what I absolutely love about podcasters.   The conversation eventually led to a bit of a partnership. Dave and I kept in touch working on various ideas together. We met up at New Media Expo a few times. Finally, we teamed up when I joined Dave's “Podcast Review Show” podcast. We review podcasters and help them improve.   [You can appear on the Podcast Review Show and get reviewed HERE.]   Prior to that partnership, Dave help me multiple times with my website, podcast, and technical aspects of my show. He has truly been there and done that. Dave knows his stuff.   If you have questions about your feed, website or other technical aspects of your podcast, I highly recommend you use Dave's knowledge and tools. He does some one-on-one coaching. He has resources on his website. You can also get deal on gear through Dave.   [Find information on Dave Jackson and the School of Podcasting HERE.]     Audacity to Podcast – Daniel J. Lewis   Daniel J. Lewis is another podcaster that helps people launch and improve their own podcast. He shares his knowledge of the audio software Audacity and web platform Wordpress. You'll learn all about equipment, software and skills necessary to podcast. His show was named the #1 technology podcast in 2012.   Daniel and I met through Dave Jackson. After following his show for quite some time, Daniel and I finally met at New Media Expo and have since developed a bit of a relationship.   The thing I love most about Daniel and Dave is their honesty and flexibility. They won't push you toward their favorite microphone. They will give you honest reviews and options that fit your needs. For instance, do you want or need a $60 microphone or $360 microphones? They teach you the differences and why.   Daniel has a great lead magnet called “20 Things You Should Do Before Every Podcast Episode.” You learn how to get the room quiet, how to prepare, what tools to gather and more. He calls it his preflight checklist. This will make your recording session so much more efficient.   If you are serious about podcasting, check out Daniel's Podcasters' Society. This is a group of great podcasters together in a learning and sharing environment that can really help you improve your show. Daniel and I are discussing making some of my material available within Podcasters' Society each month. Give it a look.   [Find information on Daniel J. Lewis' material HERE.]       The next few guys are just a few of the guys I have used as a long-distance mentors. The books and material written by these guys have done more for my business and career than anyone I can name.     48 Days to the Work You Love – Dan Miller   Dan Miller and his book 48 Days To The Work You Love is where my journey began. Dan inspired me to pursue the work that I love. I originally discovered Dan and his work by listening to the Dave Ramsey Show.   If you are looking for your purpose, check out Dan's material. He is a true entrepreneur.   The thing I love about Dan is his simplicity. Dan isn't knee-deep in technology, like a lot of online business people. Though he has embraced the digital landscape more recently with the launch of his membership site, he is more about creating simple money-making opportunities that are right in front of us.   Whether is it reselling cars, selling digital content or running a gym, he has done it all. Dan can see a business opportunity anywhere. He has great tools to help you find your passion and the work you love.   Dan's most popular resource is "48 Low or No Cost Business Ideas". These are great. When you read this e-book, you'll say to yourself, "Why didn't I think of that?" Dan has great ideas. The inspiration is a huge bonus.   [Find information on Dan Miller's material HERE.]     Internet Business Mastery – Jeremy Frandsen & Jason Van Orden   Jason Van Orden and Jeremy Frandsen at Internet Business Mastery have great information to help turn your knowledge into a business. I first discovered them during a session at New Media Expo. That presentation turned me onto their podcast.   Internet Business Mastery is not only a great podcast, but a course that has helped me refine my business focus. Both Jeremy & Jason have launched various other businesses. They have been there and done it.   In the Internet Business Mastery Academy, you learn how to develop your ideal freedom lifestyle. That leads into your freedom business blueprint. You learn how to design your single motivating purpose, create your money magnets, develop your list and more.   This has been one of the best investments I have made. The course has really refined my business plan and philosophy. If you are building an online business, this material can help you move you forward.   [Find information on Jeremy, Jason and Internet Business Mastery HERE.]     Platform University – Michael Hyatt   Michael Hyatt and Platform University have helped me organize my message and build my platform.   I like organization. Checklists are my friend. Step-by-step processes that allow me to add some creativity on top of it are tools I enjoy.   Michael Hyatt has a great membership site with Platform University. It is based on his book Platform, which is a must read as you develop your podcast. There is great learning inside the community. He only opens membership a couple times a year for enrollment. I got in early on this one and haven't looked back since.   Inside Platform University, you will find Master Classes where Michael interviews other experts to dive deep into various subjects each month. In the Backstage Pass area, Michael shows you how he operates his platform. There are live member calls each month, member makeovers and so much more.   There is so much information inside Platform University, I don't have enough time to get through all of it each month. I use the great material I find most useful and dip into the other stuff when I find time. When I have questions about specific topics, I can usually find the answer inside Platform University.   [Find information on Michael Hyatt HERE.]         There you have six people who can help you move your podcast and business forward.   Dave Jackson can help you with the technical aspects of your show.   Daniel J. Lewis has tools that can help you with your software, skills and search for your show.   Dan Miller can help inspire you with new ways of thinking about business. Find what you love.   Jeremy Frandsen and Jason Van Orden at Internet Business Mastery can help you lay an amazing foundation for your purpose and business.   Michael Hyatt can help organize your work to help you be more efficient in building your platform.     Do you need help with your podcast?

Jason Van Orden helps influencers and thoughts leaders turn their expertise and ideas into courses, content and automated systems that amplify their income and impact. He has been doing and teaching this since 2005. Knowing his own authentic best self is central to everything he does. Jason and Jeremy Frandsen's Internet Business Mastery course was the reason Kevin Appleby and Graham Arrowsmith got to know each other. Jason and Jeremy created a Facebook Group for course buyers and the rest is history. If you are thinking about making the most out of the new year, then this episode is for you. Listen and find out how to leverage your own authentic best self. 11 years ago, that's 2005, Jason and Jeremy created the first internet business podcast with Internet Business Mastery which has produced over 340 episodes. http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/internet-business-mastery-business-development-and-internet/internet-business-mastery-get-paid-to-live-your-purpose Why Authentic Best Self? Jason has been practising “Authentic Best Self” for some years. The phrase itself is credited to Amy Cuddy from her new book “Presence, Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges”. (Amazon UK http://amzn.to/2hmJKu4 and Amazon USA http://amzn.to/2gi39aJ Jason sees Authentic Best Self as a continual self-awareness and understanding of the factors and strengths that contribute to YOU performing at your peak. Leading to you creating maximum value in the world, and enjoying maximum fulfilment and having maximum energy all from the work that you do. Amy Cuddy advises that when you need to show up as your best self, if you PRECEDE that by referring to some information about your values and your strengths, and you remind yourself of that regularly, the science shows that you perform at a higher level with less stress. Hence your creativity is better and your output is better. Authentic Best Self is an understanding and leveraging information that you are continually discovering about yourself that leads to peak performance that leads to impact in the world. So, how does Authentic Best Self work in practice? For Jason, it is literally a DropBox folder of stuff, of assessments that he has taken, of journal entries he has made, feedback letters from people. How does Jason use this information? When he is faced with a business opportunity, this self-insight, acts as a sort of compass. As entrepreneurs, you are faced with lots of ideas and opportunities than you can pursue, with your limited resources – time, energy, money – than you can apply yourself to with any form of efficacy. Jason uses these materials to remind himself that he performs best when he allows himself to work in a particular way. He can quickly assess whether the opportunity will lead to him being over-extended or stressed. It is a FILTER and a COMPASS. One of Jason's strengths is research. He takes in a lot of information. He looks carefully at existing systems. This is the root of his success. Alternatively, his wife is kind of the opposite. Jason builds into his business people who will avoid him taking too long. Whether that is his wife or having a business partner who is more of a quick start person. How would Jason advise listeners to create their ABOUT YOU understanding material? Ask your close friends and colleagues Reach out to 5, 6 or 7 people who know you well enough and whose input you trust. It might be in a conversation, sending an email or writing them a letter. Ask them “What are the things that you value in me most?”, “What are the times that you see me as the most passionate, or most effective?”, “What are the things that you can depend on me for?”.Why do this? Often, we discount our strengths. Because these things come naturally to us, so we assume doesn't everybody operate that way? That's why it is important for others to affirm your strengths. You can then OWN the commonalities and themes,

First of all I have to say that your English podcasts are by far the best. I've never seen such magnificent podcasts. Well, I'd like you to teach me vocabulary about marketing issues because I'm doing a degree in marketing and market research and I want to get more vocabulary skills. That's all folks! Thanks in advance for being as you are. Maite "Marketing is the study and management of exchange relationships." - wikipedia Does marketing have good or bad connotations? Marketing is activities of a company associated with buying and selling a product or service. People who work in marketing try to get the attention of target audiences by using slogans, packaging design, celebrity endorsements and general media exposure. Marketing is everything a company does to acquire customers and maintain a relationship with them. Is this necessarily a bad thing? Even the small tasks like writing thank-you letters, returning phone calls and emails promptly and meeting with a past client for coffee can be thought of as marketing. The ultimate goal of marketing is to match a company's products and services to the people who need and want them, thereby ensuring profitability.

Reza strongly objects to any public money being spent by councils or government on advertisements merely reminding you how good they (supposedly) are. What are your feelings on this? Is sponsorship of major events really necessary, or just purely self-interested marketing for the sponsor?

En este episodio charlamos con Joan Boluda, que lleva emprendiendo en el mundo online desde finales de los noventa y ahora lleva el podcast Marketing online, imprescindible para todo aquel que quiera montar un negocio en la web. La primera conversación Joan nos cuenta cómo empezo a crear el podcast y por qué. En el podcasting no hay normas. La gente es genuina. Me captivó. Por qué Joan crea podcasts diarios (más o menos). La importancia de conocer al oyente y cómo guía la frecuencia. Cómo su podcast le ha servido para incrementar el número de clientes. El podcast como herramienta de marketing. Los cursos de marketing online y la tendencia en España. La formación profesional está cambiando... Tras responder a la pregunta semanal de Trini, Joan nos cuenta cómo ha crecido su academia online, dónde también dan cursos otros profesionales. Joan recomienda: Luis Peris Proyecto Mackintosh  y otros de Emil Car Fans Fiction (como veis, elegimos bien nuestros invitados, podeis escuchar a María de FansFIction en nuestro episodio 3).   Post-interview discussion Pilar: Joan’s podcast has really helped him to get more clients for his consultancy business. Joan really puts the listener first. He structures his podcast (length, frequency etc) so that it’s very easy for the listener to include his podcast in their daily routine. Like John Lee Dumas ( http://www.eofire.com/ ), Joan also has an avatar, a representation/description of a typical listener of his podcast. Craig: Joan regularly gives presents to his listeners; maybe a Wordpress theme download or an app that they can use. Pilar: Joan likes the freedom of podcasting. There are no barriers or restrictions to creativity. Joan prices his courses very affordably. However, it’s quite common, especially in the US, for content creators to price their content very high, justifying this by saying that they need a high income in order to continually provide content of superior quality. Craig: Pricing is very market-centric. For example CPM (cost per thousand) for podcast advertisers in the US is around $25-$30. It’s doubtful that advertisers would pay this amount in Spain or Latin America. Joan’s subscription model is very attractive for course creators and content consumers. You need a steady group of subscribers in order to generate a good monthly income and you need to constantly be creating and publishing good content in order to keep people subscribed. Pilar: Joan makes good use of his network by publishing 3rd party courses created by experts in various fields. Joan’s podcasts are the perfect advertising vehicle for his online courses.

John Kenney – From Disney to Dueling Pianos John is an Entrepreneur. John quoted Jeremy Frandsen, from the Internet Business Mastery Podcast, the longest running internet business show. Jeremy advises “the only way to FAIL is to quit”. John started his first business “Dueling Piano School”. He created a podcast and a membership academy to teach the basic of duelling pianos. The academy provided video courses on jazz piano lessons. He found that the niche was not large enough. It was not validated. Another venture was as a lifestyle coach and as a writer. Jeremy Frandsen wanted to visit DisneyWorld. John was working at Disney and he created a programme – how to negotiate Disneyworld. Avoiding the queues. For example, after the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom, the park stays open a couple more hours – when the queues are low. John created Cast Member Secrets. John's offer was a $17 ebook called “Cast Member Guides to Walt DisneyWorld” a list of should and shouldn't do to get the most out of your trip to Disneyland in Florida. John did not overly plan his business, after a few attempts at blogging, he attended New Media Expo and came back with an idea for the 5 day a week podcast 10-15 minutes in length. Soon he had 50-100,000 downloads per month. That was AMAZING! It was very challenging for John. What went wrong. John couldn't see a way to scale it. The information he was getting lagged actual changes at Disneyland. This made previous podcasts and ebooks going out of date. John attracted a lot of haters. They were being very judgmental. Pat Flynn, another top podcaster says that just means you are doing something right. After trying to sell the ebook for several months he'd netted $200 in 3 months and decided to call that business done. At the same time, his passion for dueling pianos came up. Even with lots of encouragement, John was cautious. He didn't want to continually in bars, where dueling pianos are chiefly heard. Somebody asked them to do a wedding. John branched out into weddings and conferences. He played and got paid a month's salary in one night. Slowly overtime he and his partner got gig and gig. He hired a business coach and help from Jason Van Orden and in the 100 days leading up to John quitting his job he now knows: What he is doing with his leads He knows exactly where they are coming from He knows how much they cost him He knows what kind of systems to have in place so when they come in he can easily convert them John is going all-in on this business. He plans to hire a virtual assistant. Leads are coming in more rapidly. He comments about his website (does yours do the same thing?) People are finding him and loving what they do His website makes sense to whoever is coming to it It gets them excited about hiring duelling pianos Where price is not so much a barrier to hiring him because they are seeing the value he is able to give his customers The first step in his sales process is getting people to love duelling pianos: Especially for a wedding My fiancé and I met at a duelling piano bar It starts with the guys in bars creating love for duelling pianos. And that might not be John himself, he is leveraging the work of others! Most of his leads come from Google Plus Gigmaster.com and GigSalad.com – where people are looking for events Some from Facebook – he promotes his page by promoting with articles. He promotes every 3 months. If he pops up every 3 months, as opposed continuously (which didn't work as well) Google ads land on his website The first thing most visitors do is WATCH A CLEAR VIDEO ABOUT HIS SERVICES – people want to see him in action Based on that video they can request a client He has testimonials He is getting organic searches from Google because he is No 1 in the Orlando area. How else does John attract business? He performs live. He nurtures introducers – photographers,
