Wat als niet de situatie, maar jouw mindset bepaalt wat er gebeurt?In deze aflevering deel ik twee persoonlijke momenten waarin mijn perspectief allesbepalend was: een bokstraining met een pijnlijke misstap en een weekend dat ik besloot te benaderen als minivakantie.Ik laat je zien hoe mindset niet alleen iets is voor op je vision board, maar de motor is achter jouw acties en je affiliate resultaten.Je hoort hoe je woorden, overtuigingen en denkpatronen je kunnen tegenhouden of juist kracht geven. Want ja, ook jouw affiliate fundament rust op verwachtingen, doelen én... jouw mindset.We hebben het o.a. over:Waarom je woorden bepalen hoe je handeltHoe perfectionisme en tijdgebrek vaak vermomde mindsetblokkades zijnWaarom veerkracht belangrijker is dan positiviteitHoe je met een simpele mindsetshift meer ontspanning én resultaat ervaartWelke zinnen jij jezelf vertelt en hoe je ze krachtiger kunt maken

Today we're going to talk about something that can change the way you grow your brand — how you follow up. So many people focus on getting new followers, but the real gold lies in the people you've already talked to. It's easy to lose track of warm leads, superfans, and partners when your messages are buried in your DMs and emails, which is why organizing your contacts and creating a system for follow up is so important. When you have a personal CRM, you stop leaving money and relationships on the table and start to stay top of mind. You also are able to turn connections into real growth for your brand and business.My recommended tool from this episode: KondoLearn More: Buy Digital Threads: https://nealschaffer.com/digitalthreadsamazon Buy Maximizing LinkedIn for Business Growth: https://nealschaffer.com/maximizinglinkedinamazon Join My Digital First Mastermind: https://nealschaffer.com/membership/ Learn about My Fractional CMO Consulting Services: https://nealschaffer.com/cmo Download My Free Ebooks Here: https://nealschaffer.com/books/ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/nealschaffer All My Podcast Show Notes: https://podcast.nealschaffer.com

227: Pt. 2 Reset Your Marketing Mindset | Dr. Dave JonesInThis part two Dr. Dave, the hockey-player-turned-high-performance-coach, shares his proven strategy to rock your marketing…and your business & life.Be sure to catch his story in part one if you missed it.We dove into everything from mindsets to marketing to miracles, and I came out with my hair blown back (in the best way). Dr. Dave dropped his powerful R7 Framework, a game-changing process for success. Vision, strategy, branding—it's all there.Our convo was rich, real, and ridiculously practical. Whether you're launching a business, a ministry, or just trying to make sense of your next move—grab a pen, and let's go!BIO RECAP:Dave is a sports consultant who coaches CEOs, executives, professional athletes to help achieve their vision, by executing and developing mental skills training, and enhancing thought blocking techniques.He works with organization leaders on their strategy, execution and communication, and managing the gaps between employees and management.As a thought leader and highly motivated individualDave engages executive teams by consulting on analytics, oversight of talent initiatives, and one-on-one coaching. He helps leaders improve the effectiveness of their organizations, by utilizing practices such as strategic planning, mental skills training, organizational assessment, and team interventions.HIGHLIGHTS:1.Growth mindset = God's setup for breakthroughDr. Dave breaks it down: if you're not open to learning and growing, you're basically blocking the upgrade God wants to give you. A growth mindset says, “There's more!” A fixed mindset says, “I've arrived.” Spoiler alert: God loves working with people who still think there's more to discover.2. Reset your people, reset your pathThis one hits deep—if you don't like where you're headed, it might be time to check your circle. You're the average of your top three friends. Want to level up? Surround yourself with folks who are spiritually and financially rich, who think bigger and dream Kingdom-sized dreams.3. R7 is the roadmap for real resultsDr. Dave's “R7” framework isn't just a snappy name—it's a powerhouse process that includes steps like Reset, Destiny, Vision, Strategy, Brand, Communication, Prayer, and Action. It's doing the work of digging that ends up with a rock-solid foundation for your life and business.4. Biblical principles are baked into the blueprintProverbs 15:10, “In the multitude of counsel there is wisdom,” isn't just good advice—it's part of the strategy. Dr. Dave works with Christian leaders and makes sure God's Word is woven into the work. Pride is out, humility and wise counsel are in.5. Don't Skip the Strategy—Creative Alone Won't Cut ItJumping straight into branding and creative assets without first locking in your vision and strategy is like lighting a match in a windstorm. It flares up fast... and burns out just as quick. Want long-term impact? Slow burn with a solid strategy.6. Want to Cut Through the Noise? Use Hero vs. VillainWe're swimming in 17,000+ impressions a day (yikes), and our attention span is toast. To break through, create a clear narrative. People connect emotionally when there's a hero and a villain. Bonus tip: the hero doesn't need to be perfect, but the villain better be memorable.7. Your Brand Isn't What You Say—It's What They FeelYour brand isn't just your logo or color palette. It's every touchpoint—email, website, tone of voice—all rolled into one emotional experience. People either feel a connection... or they don't. The goal? Be intentional, or your brand will still say something, just maybe not what you want.8. Make Them the Hero—You're the GuideMajor mindset shift: You are not the hero of your brand story. Your audience is. Whether it's a customer, donor, or guest—they need to feel like the center of the journey. Your job? Be their guide. Think Yoda, not Luke. Be the Obi-Wan of your niche.9. Pray, Think, and Taste-Test Your VisionDon't just slap your mission, vision, and brand together and call it done. Like chili, it might look good in the pot, but does it taste right? Take a step back, pray over it, reflect, and ask, “Lord, is this really what You want me to cook up?” (Bonus: Ask yourself—should I start, stop, or continue?)10. God Might Pull the Plug—and That's OkayEven after investing time and money, sometimes God just says “Nope.” Dr. Dave reminds us: that's not failure—it's divine redirection. You're not alone if a seemingly great opportunity gets shut down. It happens to the best of us.11. Ask the Big 5-Year QuestionBefore jumping in, ask God: “Is this what I'm supposed to be doing for the next 5 years?” This isn't just a weekend project. If you're going to commit, make sure heaven's backing it.12. Don't Just Dream—Test It OutA/B testing isn't just for marketers. Send your ideas into the wild—get feedback, observe reactions, tweak and repeat. Whether it's formal surveys or just gauging real responses, testing brings clarity.13. Take Action (But Not First!)Action is step 7, not step 1. Don't jump the gun. Lay the foundation first, then move. Faith isn't passive—yes, you've got to move—but not without preparation. God can move a parked car, but He'd rather you turn the ignition.LINKS for DR.
