Scaling up is a dream for many entrepreneurs - Yet, research shows only 4% businesses scale-up successfully. Every business has two sides - 'what's inside' and 'what others see'. When we move 'what others see' into 'what Prospects see', magic happens; it paves the way for Scaling-up! That's about positioning - choosing 'where to play'. When you set up your business to appeal to everyone, it ends up appealing to no one, says Laurel Staples. That's true. We need to set up our business in a way that appeals to our Prospects – what our Prospects see. Choosing 'where to play'  -  in terms of market segment, geography, price point, ticket size… That's in a way choosing our play arena  -  narrowing down the market we intend to serve, ie. the population of Prospects, so that we become relevant, we serve better, and we serve more of them. That's scaling up! When 'Prospects' start seeing us, the 'pull' also happens in due course, alongside the push. Scaling-up is a possibility for every business  -  and choosing 'where to play' is an important part of that process. My name is PK Narayanan, wishing you the best!

In today's episode I'm sharing with you a list of my favorite podcasts that I subscribe to and listen to every week. In episode 103, I talked about discovering new podcasts and focused on how to discover new podcasts in iTunes but most people listen to new podcasts because their friends recommended it to them. I want to share with you all the podcasts I listen to so you can get to know me better and so I can share the big lessons learned from these shows. All of the podcasts are linked to their iTunes page so click through, listen and let me know which of these podcasts you start listening to!   1.  RED - The Marketing Podcast for influencers The number one lesson I get from this podcast is consistency. David Hooper is the host and when the podcast started (he's over 200 episodes in now) he had a co-host, Laurel Staples, his now wife. She started focuses more on other business ventures but that wasn't the end of the show. David kind of refocused the show and kept it going mostly as a solo show with some interviews. This podcast teaches me a couple lessons: Number 1- David grabs your attention with the topic of the episode before the intro song starts Number 2- He KNOWS his target audience and he tells you who the podcast is for every single episode. Number 3- His is BIG on actionable content and big lessons but I believe places entertainment value over that. In one series he talked all about the IRS phone scam and even though he didn't see a clear business lesson come out of the first episode in that series, he continued. I subscribed because I was so entertained. 2.  LadyGang This is a guilty pleasure show for me. It's hosted by 3 women in Hollywood: Becca Tobin, actress most known for her role on Glee, Jac Vanak, CEO of clothing line Jac Vanak and Keltie Knight, an entertainment news reporter Each week they interview a female celebrity in Hollywood about what it's really like to be in ‘the business' They have total girl talk on air and are NOT lady like at all; they are snacking while they're recording and they share super embarrassing moments like having an itchy butt after a wax or pooping your pants (I think those were both from actress, Becca Tobin). I am in their private facebook group for fans of the show and the biggest thing I learn fro this podcast is how they also know exactly who their listeners are and their listeners are HUGE FANS. Their listeners can't WAIT for Tuesday; they end each episode with “See you next Tuesday”. Most importantly, they have fun recording. You can tell the three co-hosts look forward to their time together each week and listeners do too. 3.  Congressional Dish In my last episode of Rhodes to Success, I interviewed the host of Congressional Dish, Jennifer Briney so you'll hear in that episode exactly why I like this show so much! The biggest lesson you can take away from this podcast and from Jennifer is: She did almost no marketing for several years and has over 10,000 listeners an episode. How much time do you spend promoting and marketing your show vs. creating a quality episode? As a guest, I agree with Jason Swenk, who I interviewed for a client feature video. Jason said 80% of the work is promotion, 20% is the interview. If you are the HOST, I believe 80% of the work is creating a high quality show, 20% is the interview. The more time you spend on creating a high quality show, THE MOST people will share it organically! And that is what happened with Jen. Listen and learn! 4.  Sounds of the Trail A podcast about the ups, downs and switchbacks of trail life. This podcast is an audio journal of lots of people who hike trails for long periods of time. Host, Gizmo (that's her trail name) runs the podcast, but she has correspondents, listeners of the show who now take part by recording their story while they are hiking and send it to Gizmo to use in the podcast. Have you ever considered having correspondents on your podcast? What a creative way to include your listeners and create more content. 5.  Respectful Parenting Oh what would I do without my virtual parenting coach, Janet Lansbury! Each week Janet answers a listener question about a parenting struggle for those with babies, toddlers and 3-4 year olds. The episodes are short and to the point but because they're actual questions from real parents, you can relate to them. The marketing lesson: without fail, at the beginning and end of every show, Janet reminds you that both her books are available on audible.com, apple.com and Amazon. It's smart that she's only telling you about the audio books because as podcast listeners we are MOST likely to want an audio book; we are auditory learners! 6.  The Biz Chix podcast Natalie has allowed her podcast to change and evolve over the years as her business has grown and evolved. She didn't get locked into a format or consistency that didn't work for her and because of her focus on her target audience her downloads have grown dramatically.   Below are the podcasts I recommend you check out, but not podcasts that I talked about in detail on today's episode: The Messengers Reply All Science Vs. The Way I Heard It The Feed: The Official Libsyn Podcast Homeschooling IRL On Air With Ella She Podcasts Mostly Mom with Tia Mowry Profit Boss Radio School of Podcasting Happier with Gretchen Rubin Serial Podcast Movement Sessions Start Up Podcast The Walking Dead ‘Cast The Ask Gary Vee Show ParentCast Glambition Radio with Ali Brown Slate's Working Slate's Mom and Dad are Fighting    My other podcasts: The Parenting Rhodes The Podcast Producers   Join me for my live webinar!

We don't hear from Laurel Staples much any more... She co-hosted the first 150 episodes of RED Podcast with me, but now she's  focusing on helping coaches at Pro Coach Academy. Laurel and I both work from home and, since we live together, that means the same house. Lots of people ask us about that, amazed that we can get anything done.  This episode of RED Podcast is about how we do it and, if you're working from home, how you can get more done yourself... What You’ll Learn: The best type of house for people who work from home Why you're not able to get work done (even if you work alone and have no interruptions from other people) The "Hanky Code" (not this one, pervert) Should you set office hours when you work from home? How to let people know that you actually work for a living (even when you work from home) Why people expect more of you when you work from home (and how to set expectations so they don't expect too much) Two reasons why you should start important tasks early in the day Living with somebody? This will help you get more done (regardless of whether the other person also works from home) We'll call this a "Jedi Mind Trick." You'll feel like you're doing less, but you're actually doing more Laurel's "woo woo" idea that will help you get more done Links To Things We Talk About: Pro Coach Academy Help Your Friends Get More Done...

NMX / NAB 2015 David Hooper interviews Giselle Roman, Director, Producer and Writer, Laurel Staples, Jeffrey Powers, Host of Geekazine.com, Stacy Miller, Jared Easley in the first hour from 12pm - 1pm, April 15, 2015

Laurel first went from an engineer who designed printers to a retail store owner.  After discovering she loved the entrepreneur side of things, just not owning the retail store, she moved to health coaching.   After building her coaching business quickly, and helping others do the same, she discovered a passion in business coaching.   Now Laurel continues to help others build their dreams through their businesses, and she has also dabbled in the Kickstarter world with a skin care product.  We talk the entrepreneur journey, what's been crucial to her continued success, and lessons learned as an entrepreneur. Be sure to join us over at http://www.thestartersclub.com

Laurel Staples joins us to teach us how to forget the American dream and talk about her journey becoming an entrepreneur. Start living our own dreams on our own terms. In 2007 Laurel quit her job as a mechanical engineer to launch her popular blog, Go Fire Yourself.  In January she will publish her book about how to quit your day job and run your own business.  She is also a business coach and a photographer. Like many of us, Laurel followed the prescribed path, leave high school, go to college, get a job.  She worked for Lex Mark designing laser printers.  And she hated it.  She knew she would hate it buy hey, that’s what you do in America.  Fork out a fortune for college and slave away in a job you hate. She has always been interested in things like health and the environment and planned to open an eco-friendly clothing store. After spending about a year planning it, she quit her job and opened the store in December 2007. Unfortunately around the same time the economy crashed. After all the blood, sweat and tears, Laurel soon found herself in the same 9-5 grind she had been trying to leave. She closed the shop and started working as first a health coach and then a business coach.  That change is what finally put Laurel where she wanted to be. When coaching clients Laurel emphasized planning and doing things the right way.  But there comes a point when you just have to make the leap, otherwise you’ll be stuck forever.  There is no set amount of money you should have before quitting your job. Laurel has seen people make it work with very little saved and people fail with thousands saved.  In fact, the people with less may succeed more often because they don’t have the option of failing.  Don’t have a Plan B because if you do, you won’t work as hard on Plan A. It’s a scary thing but Laurel advises us to trust our instincts and to remember, you don’t have to make “forever decisions.”  She didn’t like the retail world so she moved on to something different.  Working with a coach or mentor can help keep you on track or show you new ways of doing things. It is important to get your side business set up while still working.  There is a learning curve to being and entrepreneur and it’s easier to learn while a paycheck is still coming in.  This is especially important if you have a family. You need to discuss your decision with them. Perhaps you can cut back enough to survive on one salary while the business is getting off the ground.  If not, you will need to really ramp your side business up before jumping and show your partner that you are bringing some money in. When deciding to jump, put things into three columns, “must have,” “nice to have,” and “don’t need.”  This will show where you can trim expenses before money starts coming in.  Try want Andres is going to do, before you decide anything, try a thirty day challenge to live as minimally as possible.  Chances are, it won’t be as hard as you imagine.  When you make it through the month, you’ll see what life will be like until your venture starts succeeding. We all hear and read about people who quit a job they hated and created their own life and wonder what they have that we don’t.  The biggest difference between them and us, is that they took the leap.

You’ve tried the straight-and-narrow path already. You went to school. You got a job. You done the “responsible thing.” And it was good… for a while. Now “the responsible thing” kind of sucks. You’ve been lead astray and your life is mediocre. What happened to all those dreams you used to have? Sure, you can try to fill the void with nice stuff – a new car, a big television, or a cool place to live. And you can take a few days off, if you have permission, to try to get away from it all… But nice stuff and a few days off won’t fix the feelings of helpless, hopeless, and frustration inside you. And neither will drinking too much, a profile on Match.com, or “job benefits” like a 401k. Forget that stuff. What you need is a real cure and that starts today with the Do Over Guy's discussion with xxxx expert, Laurel Staples. ------------- Subscribe to this podcast at YourDoOver.com
