A positive entrepreneurial mindset can often be the difference between finding success and failing. Most entrepreneurs know that running a business isn’t easy. It requires hard work, sacrifice, positivity, and knowing what you want. Do you know what drives you? Do you understand what is required of you to reach your goals? Joel Bower joins Kevin in this episode of Maximizing Ecommerce to talk about the mindsets that will drive you towards success. Joel knew from a young age that he wanted to own his own business someday. He had the drive and ambition necessary to dive in and figure out the direction he wanted to take. He’s working in many niches, including tech, travel and even door-to-door sales before landing on marketing. He’s passionate about helping other entrepreneurs learn how to reach their goals. Listen to this episode for his process! Outline of This Episode [1:35] All about mindset [3:35] Where Joel got his start [7:15] What drives someone? [9:15] What separates the success from the failures? [12:30] How do you figure out what you want? [16:55] How do you know if you’re on the right path [19:45] The difference between purpose and passion [29:55] How to find the broken pieces in your process [38:45] What things could you offload now? [43:05] Exercise: Vision for the future [45:50] Action steps to figure out what you want [49:30] Connect with Joel How do you figure out what you want?  Joel points out that new entrepreneurs tend to do things in two phases. The first phase is following the trail that’s been blazed for you—doing what has worked for everyone else. It’s easy to learn the business when you can pattern what you do after successful people. But you need to take that, and turn it into a business that works for the life that you want.  There is no perfect answer and the right path is constantly changing.  Joel believes the best way to decide your path for the future is by choosing something that lights you up. What brings you joy? Where do you see your business going? Read about successful entrepreneurs, get enmeshed in entrepreneurial communities, and surround yourself with like-minded people to help you get in the right mindset.  Constantly move in the direction of your dreams, even if it means taking a path that isn’t linear.  There is a difference between purpose and passion Joel noted that people often confuse passion and purpose. They’re stuck in this belief that whatever you’re passionate about is what your purpose is supposed to be. They’re wrong. Your purpose is being who you are—your character, your personality. Passion is something that excites you, but passion is fleeting.  Happiness and passion are constantly changing and in flex. Often, people find that when they pursue a goal and finally reach it, they realize they found more happiness in the journey. It is the progress, the challenge, the growth that leads to happiness and fulfillment. That is part of the joy of being an entrepreneur.  Joel helps others find their passions by means so simple that it’s astounding more people don’t realize it. Do your job. Entrench yourself in the day-to-day of your business and learn the ins and outs. You find out what makes you miserable and therefore narrow down what you enjoy.  Maximizing the entrepreneurial mindset: learn to let go When your business is your “baby” and you’ve been working in it for so long, it’s hard to take a step back. But you can only do everything for so long and eventually you will need to share some responsibility. Find someone to come alongside you and begin to take over the things that you despise (or don’t excel at).  As you begin to build a team of competent people, you have to learn to let go. They may only work at 80% of the expertise level that you’ve attained. You may feel as if you’re the glue holding everything together. Joel advises leaving for a few days and going on a vacation. Those few days will show you the broken pieces in your system. You’ll learn what needs to be changed or what systems/processes need to be in place.  Kevin and Joel talk more about building the right team, how to interview and hire, and what tasks you can offload to someone else. Don’t miss it! Action steps to find a vision for your future Joel has a fun exercise that he likes to run through with entrepreneurs. You sit down for 15-20 minutes and write down a plan for the future of your business. What do you want it to look like in one year? How do you want the business to perform? What do you want your staff and employees to learn? You then take this lengthy list and look at what is possible to obtain in one year.  This process allows you to begin to lay out the skills, tools, and systems needed to get to where your vision for the future is. You can add reasonable time limits to obtain goals. Rate each item on your list with the level of excitement you have about it (on a scale from 1-10). Then break it down into the THREE things that light you up inside.  Shift your focus to what you can implement immediately to begin reaching those goals. It changes your mindset and allows you to think positively about the future of your business.  Resources & People Mentioned Tony Robbins Unleash the Power Within The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss The E-myth Revisited by Michael Gerber Clockwork by Mike Michalowicz Connect with Joel Bower LinkedIn Twitter Instagram Support(at)theamazingseller.com Connect With Kevin Sanderson www.YouTube.com/maximizingecommerce www.Facebook.com/maximizingecommerce www.Twitter.com/maxecom

Do you ever find yourself struggling to build momentum with your ecommerce business? If so - you aren’t alone! Many sellers go to events or masterminds only to struggle with implementing new strategies once they get home. On this episode of The Amazing Seller, you’ll hear from Scott and Joel as they explain how sellers like you can get the most out of events, what makes Brand Accelerator Live so unique, how to break out of the norm and take action, and much more. This episode is designed to encourage sellers like you - don’t miss it! Brand Accelerator LIVE Update Scott’s got some great news to share regarding the TAS Brand Accelerator Live event! As you know - Scott has been hard at work, making sure sellers like you get a unique and rewarding experience at the upcoming Brand Accelerator Live event. Part of making it a great event is getting the right person to MC and make sure the whole experience goes smoothly. Here’s the good news - the MC will be a familiar voice - Joel Bower has agreed to fill this vital role, and he is READY for it. Tune into this episode of The Amazing Seller as Scott and Joel give more updates on this fast approaching event! An event created for sellers like YOU! Scott and the crew planning the Brand Accelerator Live event get it - they know that these type of events can feel pretty cookie-cutter. If you’ve been to one marketing or ecommerce event - it feels like you’ve been to them all, right? What does it take to stand out from the rest of the pack? How will Brand Accelerator Live be any different? The TAS crew wants this event to be the ONE event you go to this year. With that approach in mind, they promise that they won’t waste your time. Scott and his team know what it means to come up with the cash to attend an event like this and want to make it a good return on your investment. Hear more about how they’ve crafted this event with sellers like you in mind by listening to this episode! Get the most out of attending events. Truthfully - you really only get out of events and masterminds what you plan on contributing. Yes, these are events that you attend and absorb, BUT there are things you can do to set yourself up for success! According to Joel and Scott, it all comes down to application and follow through. These guys get it - when you attend events it can feel like you are drinking out of a fire hydrant - that’s normal! What you need to do is create a sperate sheet or document during the event and make a list of action steps. When the event is over, and you are on the airplane heading back home - pick two action steps that that whole list you created. When you focus on JUST two action steps, you increase the likelihood of actually following through! You’ve got to get out of the house! From time to time - Scott gets push back from TAS followers like you who argue that attending an event is a waste of time. Do you find yourself falling for that line of thinking? There are two key reasons why you should attend an event like Brand Accelerator Live. Attending an event gets you out of your house and out of your regular routine. Don’t ignore or gloss over this point! Sometimes a little break from the same old - same old can make a HUGE difference. You never know who you will meet and how that connection can change the course of your business. Scott has made some many great connections over the years by simply showing up to an event and taking the time to get to know fellow sellers. What are you waiting for? Do you really think you can get those amazing benefits sitting at home? Try something new and see if you can get some helpful insights that will help you take your business to the next level of growth! OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF THE AMAZING SELLER [0:03] Scott’s introduction to this episode of the podcast! [2:15] Why you should attend live events or masterminds. [12:00] How to get the most out of an event. What is the action you want to take? [17:20] Why the TAS crowd is the BEST. [23:40] Special Announcement about Brand Accelerator LIVE.

Do you ever struggle with staying on task and achieving your personal and professional goals? Have you tried to find solutions only to end up frustrated and at the end of your rope? If so, you aren’t alone! On this episode of The Amazing Seller, you’ll hear from Scott as he sits down with Joel Bower. In his conversation with Scott, Joel talks about the practices that have helped him be more productive, challenges he has faced along the way, how to avoid burnout, and much more. Have pen and paper ready; you don’t want to miss a minute of this helpful episode! Do you know your “Why?” What is the number one reason you are building your ecommerce business? Do you want to spend more time with your family? Are you trying to get out of that dead-end job you hate? Whatever the reason is, you’ve got to have it front and center in your mind, and it’s got to be something that will sustain you when things get tough - because they will! To hear more about identifying your “Why” and making sure you stay laser-focused on it, make sure to listen to this episode of The Amazing Seller with Scott and Joel! Start racking up the wins. Let’s face it; no one likes incremental change - especially when they’ve decided that where they are is no longer a good place to be. When the house is burning, it doesn’t feel like progress to go from the kitchen to the living room; it only feels like progress when you are out of the burning building! The truth is, if you want to make big changes in your life, you’ve got to be willing to make small changes that add up. You can’t go from no business to a thriving business overnight; it takes work and a ton of small steps. What small wins are you celebrating this week? Chime in and let the TAS crew know by visiting the link in the resources section at the end of this post! How to avoid burnout. Building something from scratch is no small feat - from business to buildings, slow and steady wins the race. Part of the process of building something from nothing is learning along the way, pausing to get advice, and taking time to evaluate your direction. If business leaders just ploughed through and built whatever they wanted to build without pausing for rest and reflection, the result would be something that collapses before too long. Don’t let that happen to you and your business! You can avoid burnout by taking the time to zero in on your “Why,” reflecting on your progress, and surrounding yourself with people who are rooting for you. Are you part of the TAS community on Facebook? Have you booked your ticket to Brand Accelerator Live? What are you waiting for?

Let’s face it, everyone has their own story filled with the highs and lows that life brings along. Some people have more tragedy and pain in their life than others but at the end of the day, it all comes down to how you choose to move forward. Will you stay stuck and defeated by your pain or will you move forward and rise above it? The choices you make today can have the power to shape your life for years to come! Make sure to listen to this episode of The Amazing Seller as Scott sits down with Joel Bower and opens up about his childhood, the pain his mother struggled with, how that’s impacted him today, and more. Why it’s helpful to understand how the past shapes us. Did you know that there is one on earth who is a self-made individual? It’s true! While the term often refers to someone who’s worked hard to build their wealth or fame with their talent and hard work it can be misleading. People are a product of their surroundings, for good and for bad. The more you buy the lie that your past doesn’t matter, the more you cut yourself off from growth. What lessons can you learn from looking back at your past? What healing could occur? Learn from Scott’s story and how he’s been able to embrace and come to terms with his past to plot a more hopeful future by listening to this episode of The Amazing Seller. Pain is part of the story, you choose what power it holds. Hearing Scott open up about the pain that filled his childhood from the tension in his parent's relationship to financial struggles, alcoholism, and an eventual divorce seems like too much for any one person to bear. While it would have been understandable for Scott to succumb too much of the pain in his life, he chose a different path. He didn’t want his story to be dominated by the pain in his past, he wanted to use it as fuel for a brighter future. You can do that too! You don’t have to let the narratives of past hurt or failure to define your future. Hear more about Scott’s journey by listening to this powerful episode of The Amazing Seller. If the pain is too much to bear, please get help. One of the toughest aspects of Scott’s story is hearing the long-term impact of substance abuse and isolation. As she struggled with the pain of her own past, Scott’s mother sought relief by depending on alcohol and prescription drugs to relieve the pain. Thankfully, he was able to witness his mother find freedom through sobriety before her death. During a particularly difficult time in his life, Scott had mentioned taking the route of committing suicide. Looking back, he doesn’t think he really would have followed through with the threat, he was just trying to elicit a response from his mother. Both of these aspects of Scott story serve as a reminder that life can pull you in directions you would never have imagined if it gets to be too much to bear, get help. Don’t struggle and suffer alone, a healthy and fulfilling life is worth fighting for! Believe in yourself and pursue what makes you happy! At the end of the day, Scott wants his story to serve as an example that you can rise above your pain and pursue a life of joy and happiness. While it is not helpful to ignore your pain, the key is to find a way to focus on what you can do with your life in the here and now. Embrace a future where you can pursue what makes you happy. Believe in yourself and your ability to go out there a succeed. If you need encouragement and motivation, look to what Scott has done. No, he’s not perfect but he wants his story to help leaders like you who are wondering if they have anything to offer the world - you do!
