In his message, Pastor Mark Butler continues the Word Faith series by teaching how faith can grow, strengthen, and be developed over time. Drawing from Romans 12 and Mark 11, he explains that God gives every believer a measure of faith, but it's our responsibility to feed it, use it, and increase it through the Word. Pastor Mark outlines the difference between head faith and heart faith, encouraging believers to locate where they are in their faith walk and build from there. He challenges the church to examine whether they are acting on their faith, standing in it consistently, and allowing it to produce results—especially in areas like healing, provision, and spiritual breakthrough.

Why Follow-Up Is a Leadership Practice with Doug C. Brown Let's face it—“follow-up” doesn't always have the best reputation. It can feel pushy, annoying, or just like one more thing on your to-do list. But what if follow-up wasn't about pestering people… and instead became one of the most powerful tools you have to show care, build trust, and lead with integrity? In this episode, Dr. Mike Patterson sits down with renowned sales expert Doug C. Brown to reframe everything you think you know about follow-up. Doug shares why this essential practice is about more than just closing a deal—it's about strengthening relationships, delivering value, and showing others that they matter. About the Episode: Doug C. Brown, CEO of CEO Sales Strategies, brings over 40 years of sales leadership to the table. He's worked with brands like Tony Robbins, CBS, and Procter & Gamble, built 35 businesses, and helped generate over $900 million in sales. But at the heart of his success is a simple principle: effective, personalized follow-up builds relationships—and relationships drive results. In this conversation, Doug explains why follow-up should be part of every leader's toolkit. Whether you're managing a team, building a business, or simply aiming to serve others better, consistent and thoughtful follow-up creates connection, increases retention, and unlocks new opportunities. You'll hear real-world stories about how follow-up has led to massive referrals, strengthened loyalty, and even closed six-figure deals. Doug also shares how poor follow-up costs companies thousands (if not millions) and reveals how you can avoid those losses with just a few intentional habits. Key Takeaways: Follow-Up = Leadership: It's not about pestering—it's about showing respect, accountability, and care. ABR: Always Be Building Relationships: Forget the old ABCs of sales—lasting relationships are what lead to lasting results. Why People Don't Buy Immediately: Emotional, logistical, and trust-related factors often delay purchases—follow-up bridges the gap. Multimodal Matters: Effective follow-up isn't just about phone calls—it's texts, emails, handwritten notes, and more. Three-a-Day Rule: Want to change your business? Follow up with just three people a day. That's 1,000+ meaningful connections a year. Whether you're a business leader, a coach, or a team builder—this episode will challenge you to rethink how you engage the people around you. If you want to build stronger relationships, increase trust, and lead with more integrity, it starts with simple, consistent follow-up.

Send us a textBonus episode #89: A powerful accountability framework can be the difference between another year of unfulfilled potential and remarkable achievement in your finance career. Whether you're aiming for the CFO chair or seeking to level up your leadership skills, this episode unveils the three critical components of a personal accountability strategy that actually works.We begin by examining the mindset shift required for genuine accountability. As finance professionals, we're excellent at holding others accountable through metrics and performance reviews, but often struggle with personal accountability. I explore why 99% of failures stem from excuse-making and how developing a no-quit attitude creates the persistence needed to overcome inevitable obstacles.Beyond mindset, effective accountability requires a structured methodology. The SMART framework (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) provides the architectural blueprint for transforming vague aspirations into concrete achievements. But even the best-designed goals require tactical implementation tools—the practical mechanisms that keep you on track daily.

"Strategic planning is creating certainty in an uncertain world." – Tim Fulton Strategic planning is essential for success in any business, yet many companies either overlook or struggle with the process. In this episode, Trace Blackmore welcomes back Tim Fulton, President of Small Business Matters, to explore the fundamentals of strategic planning and how businesses can chart their course for success.   Tim shares insights on why strategic planning matters, how to involve the right people, and how to create a plan that actually works. Whether you're a business owner, manager, or part of a team, this episode provides valuable takeaways to help you navigate uncertainty, set clear objectives, and execute effectively. Why Strategic Planning is Critical Strategic planning helps businesses stay focused in an unpredictable world. By analyzing past performance, assessing the present, and setting future goals, companies can adapt to changing markets, industry trends, and emerging technologies like AI. Who Should Be Involved in Strategic Planning? Successful planning requires input from leaders and key employees at different levels. Involving the right people fosters collaboration, avoids blind spots, and ensures that the plan is practical and actionable, rather than created in isolation. The SWOT Analysis: A Tool for Understanding Your Business A SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) helps businesses understand their position. Identifying strengths and weaknesses within the company, along with external opportunities and threats, provides a clearer strategy for growth and risk management. Executing the Plan & Measuring Success A strategic plan is only effective if it's executed properly. Setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) ensures clarity, while quarterly reviews and color-coded tracking (Green, Yellow, Red) help teams monitor progress. Methods like the 12-Week Year and OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) keep businesses on track and accountable. Why Having a Third-Party Facilitator Can Make a Difference An outside facilitator brings an objective perspective, helping businesses stay focused and engaged during planning. Leaders who try to both facilitate and participate often struggle to balance these roles. Involving an expert improves discussions and strengthens team buy-in. Common Mistakes in Strategic Planning & How to Avoid Them Many businesses fail in strategic planning due to poor communication, lack of follow-through, and ignoring potential risks. A strong plan must be actively maintained throughout the year to ensure long-term success. Tim Fulton joined Trace Blackmore to deliver essential insights into strategic planning, emphasizing clarity, involvement, accountability, and the power of facilitation.

What if the comfortable goals you've been setting are actually holding you back from your greatest achievements? In this inaugural episode of The After Show, I challenge the conventional wisdom of SMART goal-setting by proposing a powerful shift: replacing "Realistic" with "Hard" to create SMAHT goals (Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Hard (or Heaven must help!), Time-based).When we set merely realistic goals, we stay in our comfort zones. But hard goals—those that make us squirm a little in our seats, that require new skills and outside help—these are the goals that transform us and the world around us. Consider Jesus commissioning his disciples to reach "all nations," not just a few—an impossibly hard goal at the time, yet one that changed history.I share my own struggle with perfectionism in launching this very podcast, waiting too long for everything to be "just right" before pushing record. As Chris Tucker's character in Rush Hour might say, sometimes you just need to "push the damn button" and get started. Hard goals require us to overcome these mental barriers and move forward despite imperfection.The path to achieving hard goals isn't mysterious. Write them down (increasing your chances of success by 80%), create a scorecard to track progress, and share your goals with someone who'll hold you accountable. I'm applying these principles to my own ambitious goal of reaching one million podcast downloads by the decade's end—not for personal glory, but because of the impact those million connections could create.Ready to choose your hard? As the poem says, "Life will never be easy. It will always be hard, but we can choose our hard." What impossible goal will you set today?Thanks for listening in to the Uncommon Leader Podcast.

This week, our host Brandi Starr is joined by Mehak Chowdhary, a dynamic leader in marketing, growth, and brand strategy. With 15 years of experience under her belt, Mehak has successfully scaled businesses across diverse sectors like sports, climate tech, SaaS, and E-commerce, working internationally from Europe to Asia.  In this episode of Revenue Rehab, Brandi and Mehak dive deep into the transformative journey of turning a chaotic lead process into a high-converting, automated pipeline. They explore the intricacies of Mehak's "route to qualified lead" framework, which originated from a landscape of mismanaged lead flow and evolved into a streamlined system of efficiency and precision.  Join the discussion as they explore what it takes to transform a dysfunctional pipeline, why ICPs should be more than a static list, and how the right alignment between sales and marketing can speed up change. If you're tired of sorting through unqualified leads and want a pipeline that delivers real results, this episode is for you!  Episode Type: Case Study  Revenue leaders who've been in the trenches share how they tackled real challenges—what worked, what didn't, and what you can apply to your own strategy. These episodes go beyond theory, breaking down real-world implementation stories with concrete examples, step-by-step insights, and measurable outcomes.  Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers:  Topic #1 Breaking Down the CRM Transformation [07:02] Mehak Chowdhary delves into the problem of visibility of who's where in an actual funnel. She recalls receiving an Excel sheet when she asked for data, highlighting the chaos and inefficiency. Mehak refers to this as the "copy paste monster," emphasizing the lack of data traceability and qualification. This moment is pivotal in transforming the process into a structured CRM framework.  Topic #2 Evolving the Ideal Customer Profile [09:34] Mehak Chowdhary shares the importance of starting with the basics and evolving the ICP over time. She explains, "first up was that, if, is there a way to take this ICP and put it into the CRM system in a way that you're able to understand who they are," highlighting a step-by-step enhancement of understanding customer behavior. Brandi Starr affirms this by acknowledging the gradual ticking away at the ICP to gain a clear understanding of customer data.  Topic #3 Navigating Sales and Marketing Alignment [29:48] Reflecting on overcoming challenges, Mehak Chowdhary highlights, "the fact that the teams could align and work together, the point that you were alluding to, that sales and marketing come together, that's really a game changer for companies if done well." This alignment is crucial for seamless operation, demonstrating how bridging departmental divides was a decisive factor in their success.  What's One Thing They Would Do Differently   Mehak's ‘One Thing' is to invest in implementing CRM and automation right from the start. "Please invest the time and the money in a CRM and some good people. If you could think in terms of technology, you'll also build a lot of clarity and question yourself on how the whole process is going." This involves thinking strategically about your customer profiles and translating them into actionable data within your CRM system, allowing for the creation of well-planned systems and continuous optimization in your revenue processes.  Buzzword Banishment  Buzzword Banishment: Mehak's Buzzword to Banish is the phrase 'secret sauce.' Mehak dislikes this term because she feels it suggests there is some sort of proprietary magic formula behind success, which undermines the hard work marketers put into learning about the industry and optimizing the marketing funnel. It implies that success comes from a mysterious trick rather than well-planned systems and continuous optimization.  Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mehakchowdhary/   Subscribe, listen, and rate/review Revenue Rehab Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts , Amazon Music, or iHeart Radio and find more episodes on our website RevenueRehab.live

I'm a big fan of setting big-ass goals. Dreaming BIG is my natural state - which is why S.M.A.R.T. goals are not all that smart. S.M.A.R.T. stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-Bound. While it may seem like a good plan, I can't wrap my head around not setting goals because they don't seem achievable or realistic. Excuse me? When did big goals seem achievable and realistic?   If that were true, you would already be doing them. Anytime you are moving from dreaming into doing, you will be living in the land of crazy and scary. If you hold yourself to what is achievable and realistic, you might as well keep doing what you're doing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

FOUNDATIONS: Day Five: Wealth, Health And Happiness Challenge - Being SMART On today's episode of Join Up Dots, we're diving into Day 5 of our journey toward wealth, health, and happiness. Yesterday, we tackled the art of building confidence—learning how to silence that inner critic, embrace our strengths, and celebrate even the smallest victories. Confidence is what fuels our actions, and today, we're putting that momentum to work by turning dreams into actionable, goal-oriented plans. A dream without a plan is just a wish, but with SMART goals—goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—you can create a roadmap for success. Whether you're aiming to write your first book, grow your career, or start a business, the clarity of SMART goals can turn those big, daunting dreams into achievable steps. We'll share real-life stories of people like Sarah, who transformed her fitness journey one small milestone at a time; Jake, who broke through career stagnation with a clear plan; and Maria, who turned her creative passion into a thriving side hustle. You'll also hear strategies to overcome common challenges like procrastination, fear of failure, and overwhelm, so you can stay on track no matter what life throws your way. So, what's your first SMART goal? Grab a notebook, write it down, and start breaking it into manageable steps.
