Podcast appearances and mentions of michael gebben

Life doesn't have a one size fits all solution, and neither does your business! Join me for today's show with my friend Michael Gebben as we explore his massive success, and some failures as well, in his business journey. Michael breaks down the invisible brick wall that we all face - procrastination. There are some shifts in your mindset that can greatly help you overcome the things that continuously nag at your effectiveness.  Michael also dives into some interesting brain science that can help you find out how your brain works so that you can leverage your brain-activating activities and stop making yourself miserable by doing things that you hate. Truly understanding yourself can be the key to making the most out of this life and lead to true fulfillment!  Key Takeaways Find the right path forward that works for YOU. Don't fight to make yourself fit into someone else's formula. Taking action that is quick, but sometimes imperfect, will help you overcome procrastination and achieve actual results. Don't focus on avoiding what you don't want, focus on pursuing what you do want and you will find more of it. Sometimes you need to slow down and reevaluate in order to speed up.

There are plenty of questions that people ask themselves before they take the leap and start doing what they love. How do I find my voice? How do I know if this is something I am good at? What if it doesn't work out? Trusting the process requires you to be in a 'flow state' and have an abundance mentality. This means being open with your limitations and acknowledging that, yes, you will fail, but you need to allow yourself to fail so that you can learn from it.   Join the conversation with your host Michael Gebben as I share the secret keys to finding your passion. Doing what we love helps us live a better life in various ways. It makes us feel more alive and connected.

How To Build A Profitable And Fulfilling Business Around Your Passion Our hearts are constantly seeking for fulfillment, and without doing what you love, you will always feel the gap. Sometimes we seek money as a default for satisfaction but earning more money, getting promotions, or moving to the next level will not fill this void. Getting your hands dirty and doing what you want will stand the test of time. A job that you love will always motivate you to meet your goals consistently, and when you do, you make genuine accomplishments. The best opportunity for you is the one that you follow through and show up consistently. You don't have to know all the answers to succeed. Knowing the next step will help you reduce the gap, cultivate a positive momentum, and show up consistently. Join the conversation with your host Michael Gebben and be inspired to stand up, be bold, and put yourself out there so that people can find you. The world needs more of you, and you can't make an impact while doing nothing. During this episode, you will learn about; [02:30] The controversy between promotions in self-employment and employment [06:50] Identifying and doing things that you love to build your satisfaction [15:46] The power of aligning with what is right for you as an entrepreneur [17:30] Differentiating between facts and fiction in your life [24:44] # Seeking accountability to get motivation [27:14] Building your business in a way that you can eliminate or delegate tasks that you're not passionate about [33:42] # Strategies that can help to stop overthinking [33:54] How expectation can hijack your mind and opinions [38:28] The massive imperfect action [39:27] Mike's journey from Gebbs Juice Podcast, Jumpstart Session to Mind Tuneup Time Podcast [44:07] Creating a positive mental momentum [52:52] Focusing and practicing right to get where you want to be [01:10:10] Coaching Session with Margret [01:10:26] Margret story and how Mike inspired her to recreate her story [01:17:08] Cultivating your momentum, taking action, and making progress [01:21:05] The concept of ‘creation and connection' and ‘creation and isolation.' [01:29:53] Knowing who you're, avoiding triggers, and trying to fit in [01:35:40] Margret's new experience and transformation [01:36:33] Breaking from the negative, hearing the positive, and receiving it [01:51:54] Defining your self-worth and creating a sustainable cashflow [02:26:27] Being proactive, reaching out, and connecting to people to get clients [02:33:17] Focusing on where you're going Notable Quotes -If you're forcing yourself to fit in what is seen as the norm, you live frustrated versus living fulfilled (05:57) -Life is not a plugin and play; what works for them might not work for you (17:21) -Expectations are a maker breaker in a lot of things in life (33:54) -We will see and get our lives where we're focused on and what we're giving our attention to (44:07) -Don't predict your future based on your past (49:55) -The deeper you judge others, the more you're worried about being judged, and this will give you a -hard time putting yourself out there (01:33:37) -When you start telling a different story, you show up differently (01:42:42) -You may have little bumps, and you may have little backward, but that's not the point of the big picture.

How To Create The Dream Life You Really Want We need to become observers of what we speak to ourselves. If our language is disempowering, that is what we become. Our fates rely on what we focus our minds towards. Train your brains to consistently interpret things in new ways rather than clinging to past experiences. Don't allow your mind to hold you back from moving toward exciting possibilities. Start to practice believing that you can achieve it. Build your confidence by building your competence in what you love, and start making progress towards your goal. To be successful, you don't need a big dream or a million-dollar investment. All you need is the right tools. Join me, Michael Gebben, in this power-packed episode as I take you through the top ingredients that guarantee success at any stage in your life.

Michael Gebben spent seven years building a video company that was the envy of everyone in his field, until one day he woke up to the realization that he’d built a cage of his own making and given up so much of his life in the name of something that didn’t really mean a whole lot. So he hit reset and, over the last three years, rebuilt his life and his career around what matters and even launched a new inspirational YouTube channel. He has profoundly changed his metrics and evaluated the truth about success. Michael’s current company, Jumpstarters, helps creative entrepreneurs to get over the same hurdles that he was able to conquer, allowing him to work with individuals such as Tim Ferris, Tony Robbins and Richard Branson. Michael is a big believer in massive impact action rather than getting stuck in the minutia and never moving forward. Ready to unlock life-long financial confidence and become unstoppable?

Michael Gebbens is a videographer, motivational speaker, and business coach. Here Michael shares about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, the truth about money and business (and his own story of near bankruptcy), and how to do what you love even when what you love isn’t what you’ve been taught to do. Some things we talk about: • how to know what’s good advice, what isn’t, and the exact questions to ask to figure out the difference • what to do if you’re doing what you love but still not making money • the exact steps Michael used to pull himself out of near bankruptcy • the two ways to sell and • how to figure out the “right” path to pursue (and when to quit the “wrong” one)

This week's guest is easily one of the most passionate we've had on the show. In this episode, Michael holds nothing back as we chat about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, and how he went from being a wedding videographer, to filming for big names like Tony Robbins, Tim Ferriss & Richard Branson.  Through his journey, Michael discovered that the secret to finding success (AKA the crossroads of achievement and fulfillment, a la Tony Robbins) is to avoid the "shoulds" at all cost, and never stop taking action. Massive Imperfect Action, to be specific.  Be it his career as a film & video expert, or as a coach for creatives, Michael has held his ground when it comes to chasing every new trend, and following the advice of everyone else in the industry. Sometimes, the best way to build your business, is to do what lights you up.  One thing that Michael has done so well is persist in his attempts to connect with top influencers. And based on his portfolio, it's served him well.  “I have nothing to lose by reaching out; I have everything to gain." Tenacity (and admittedly, naiveté) have paid off in his pursuits of big name gigs. His advice: always show up with energy, and invest in the long game. Michael says, “For me, a non-response just means they didn't see it."  THE BOLD LIFE MOVEMENT SUBSCRIBE: iTunes | Stitcher Radio | YouTube   FOLLOW MICHAEL: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Linkedin | Youtube SOME QUESTIONS I ASK: What was his transition moment? Why take Massive Imperfection Action? Where did the Jumpstart analogy come from for his in-person events? IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:  How he was able to work with Tony Robbins, Tim Ferriss, Brendon Burchard, & Richard Branson.  How he got started as an entrepreneur.  What product put him on the map. How he went from scared to speak in front of the class, to teaching large groups of people and crushing it on video.  The one thing you have to have to be able to pitch big names your product or service.  The two most important things to consider when reaching out to an influencer. What's wrong with a lot of courses out there now, and why people aren't getting results.  Why the in-person trainings are more effective than virtual teaching.  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Jumpstarters Experience - http://jumpstarters.net/ Zen Habits - https://zenhabits.net/ 4 Hour Work Week - https://fourhourworkweek.com/ Charlie Hoehn - https://charliehoehn.com/ Disc Assessment - https://discprofile.com/what-is-disc/overview/

Welcome to Episode 57 of the No Quit Living Podcast. NQL is a personal development podcast designed to help listeners achieve their goals and desires. Through hearing the inspiring stories and tips from the greats, we will all find it easier to stay motivated and never quit. Our amazing guest today, Michael Gebben jam packed today's episode with tons of positivity, value and incredible insight on one of our favorite topics: taking action. Michael is a videographer turned entrepreneur. He's dabbled in a little bit of everything, wearing many hats until ultimately he realized that what he excelled in is building relationships. He's worked with two of his biggest inspirations, Tim Ferris and Tony Robbins simply by reaching out and offering his skill set. Michael talks about how he used to sit at a computer, edit videos and film weddings but ultimately found passion in utilizing his skills as a "people's person." When he discovered this for himself, he reconstructed his team and found people who loved the moving parts of his business that he didn't. In doing so, he was able to put 100% of his focus in the aspects that he did love and the rest fell into place. Website: http://www.takemia.com

Michael “Gebbs” Gebben joins Charlie on today’s episode. Michael founded Gebbs TV only to realize he was building something that was making him miserable. After reconfiguring his business to work for him, he realized that he had a major problem: his use of credit cards disguised his understanding of the success of his business and led to debt. The conversation today centers on the prisons we make for ourselves, how easy it is to build these prisons, and how hard it is to break free of them. Key Takeaways: [2:35] - Growing up, Gebbs had always had an entrepreneurial streak, and combined with his background in filmmaking, he got a job making slideshows for funeral homes. This sparked the idea for Gebbs Total Production. As the company began to grow, he realized that the filmmaking aspect was more his dad’s dream and he wasn’t really into it. He found himself low on time, low on money, and very behind in delivering product to his clients. [7:15] - He decided to narrow his focus and took a stand on the way he wanted to do things, and that’s when things started to happen. By not agreeing to do everything (just because you can), and doing the things you’re best at, people will honor that. This exposes your ability to make a decision, your ability to be a pro, and your ability to be the best in your local world. [10:50] - These days, the product is not usually the most important thing. The differentiation starts to be the person behind the product. Gebbs shares his example of people paying more or bringing him on location for a video, versus someone local, because they like the substance that he himself brings to the job. You can’t win on pixels - or whatever medium your product delivers - but you can win on process, experience, and expertise. [17:25] – Gebbs and Charlie talk about the importance of taking action - it brings clarity and confidence. Getting your product out into the world allows you to receive feedback from consumers. Finishing allows for mastery as well as income. [20:05] – When Gebbs found the sweet spot with Gebbs Total Video, he found success, freedom, and time to do the things he loved. The process of becoming self-aware allowed him to break out of the prison he had made for himself by taking on projects that he wasn’t excited about, resulting in mediocre product. Identifying the root problem allowed him to prevent the same surface problems from showing up. [25:40] – There is a lot of hard work that goes into running your own business. Oftentimes, when people start their own businesses, they start as an expert in their trade wanting to do more. Starting your own business adds many other factors in addition to the trade, sometimes leaving only a small amount of time to actually do your trade. Being self-aware of what works for you is important to figure out what option will let you flourish doing what you love. [31:20] – Personal development is more like a corkscrew, rather than a circle. We might encounter similar problems throughout the different stages of our lives. Each time we come back to them they are at different and deeper levels. Problems and challenges will always arise, and you will continue to be challenged and tested by similar things, though maybe in different ways. Accepting and embracing this is important to overcoming those challenges and being ready to face them any time they arise. [35:50] - How you deal with challenges is totally different when you’re aware of them. Being self aware also allows you to help and encourage others when they encounter similar difficulties. When you find the sweet spot, you get more time and freedom to spend your energy on the things that matter. [42:00] - When you become aware of your patterns and blind spots, you can build life support structures around those things, so they are not always crippling. If you want to change these patterns in your life, you have to ask yourself how you are actively participating in those scenarios, and which ways you are showing up in those scenarios. This allows for greater self-reflection about the root of the problem. [47:40] - Gebbs talks about how he found himself in a large amount of debt, and how he is now working to overcome it. He was charging everything on credit, and needed more money than he was making to pay all his bills. As he figured out a way to work to pay off the debt, he recognized a deeper problem and has been able to make changes to avoid finding himself in a similar situation down the road. [55:55] - Being able to talk about this has allowed Gebbs to feel a new sense of freedom. Talking about it - without being judged - allows for ideas to be shared and to find people who have encountered and overcome these problems. Financial intelligence is especially important for entrepreneurs. [1:00:40] - Scripted formulas and frameworks are not the simple solutions to the challenges we are going to face. Success takes hard work, not just in your business, but also in taking ownership of ourselves and our habits, and identifying the root problems. It is takes awhile, and that’s okay. [1:08:20] - Gebbs’ challenge for listeners: If there’s something that you’re afraid of doing, just take the first step. Once you do that and experience that release, it gets easier and easier each time. Mentioned in This Episode: Productive Flourishing Michael “Gebbs” Gebben GEBBS TV Leave a Review

What's Up Creative Hustlers! Steven & Melissa Here. Today we'll be talking with Michael Gebben who hit the reset button after building a wildly successful video company for 7 years. Today, his company Jumpstarters helps creative entrepreneurs get over the same hurdles that he was able to conquer, allowing him to work with top creative hustlers like Tim Ferriss, Tony Robbins and Richard Branson. ----- [00:00] You NEED this branding secret! [00:59] What's Up Gebbs. Ready to get hustling? [02:19] What makes Michael Gebben a #CreativeHustler. [03:25] Michael decided to make movies for funeral homes, on top of the paper route. [03:30] Gebbs Total Video came about by filming a wedding as a senior in high school. [04:35] Michael asked his parents to give him 1 year to prove his business instead of going to college. [04:50] 300 weddings, and introduced Same-Day Edits to his business early on. [05:30] $8,000 for a wedding DVD?!? [05:45] Same-Day Edits changed people's perspective on their investment. [06:09] By 2010, Michael was doing too much. Professionally booming, but personal life was a mess. [06:48] That was the point that Michael decided 20% of his effort made him 80% of his income. [07:30] Michael's My Way Decision: Shoot, Edit, Speak, Dress with whatever lights me up. [08:28] Michael wasn't making the money to equal the time. [09:28] Don't care about getting the job, care about what lights you up. [09:55] Michael has worked with Richard Branson, Tim Ferris and Tony Robbins because of his one decision. [10:20] Now Michael gets $10,000 or more for a project. [10:50] Everyone is at different levels, some people won't talk to you unless your rates are higher. [11:30] No one teaches you the mental process in high school and college. [11:59] It's the wizard, not the wand. Doesn't matter the tech if you can't use it. [12:20] Often it isn't about the work, but about where your mind is offline. [12:50] Michael's sweet spot is offline business, shared online, to create offline work. [13:16] People need to find out what's right for THEM! [13:37] Sometimes people just put on a persona online. [14:06] #CreativeHustler motto: Our are daily actions and core values in alignment? [14:50] Your personal brand and your personality make up who you are. [15:15] The Creative Hustler wants to connect with people on a personal level in all aspects. [15:38] ALIGNMENT is the word of the month for Michael. [16:05] 2010 was when Michael put his video into alignment. [16:30] Michael learned to say NO! His advice and reasoning behind it: Learn to say No, and double your rates. [17:50] See life through a different lens, and a different filter. [18:29] Recognize that you need to take action, but also realize what works and what WORKS for YOU! [18:50] Michael never thought he would be a public speaker and motivator now. [19:15] You won't know what you LIKE until you take the action. [19:40] More about what Michael is currently doing with Jumpstarters after his entrepreneurial burnout. [20:28] Michael was always thinking of passive revenue streams, but kept being distracted. [20:38] How Tim Ferriss's 4 Hour Work Week fucked up Michael's life. [21:30] From 2012 to 2016, Michael let other people guide and influence him instead of doing it himself. [22:08] Here's where YOU are, and here's where you SHOULD be, and the large gap that makes you buy into someone's project. [22:39] In 2010, Michael offered people to spend a day with him for $1000. [23:10] Someone came to Michael and said, I want to get into video, and by the end of the day she was crying. [23:50] Being shoved into a box by people SUCKS! [24:10] Low self-worth and self-value will hinder your success. [24:35] Michael isn't being hired for video anymore, they are hiring him for his personality. [25:05] When people interact with Michael, that's what makes the difference from other video editors. [25:30] In 2012, Michael got confidence as a videographer, but had to start over as a motivational speaker. [26:07] Michael walks with his grandpa at the mall. [26:24] Sometimes people need that KICK - that's the Jumpstart. [26:50] If it's not non-stop balls to the wall, it doesn't count as a hustle. [27:10] Michael hosts workshops and private one-on-one days because those are more successful than a month of video calls. [27:40] Michael's words are SECOND to his energy, mood, and personality. [28:20] Michael's energy is completely natural. [28:35] Steven's 2nd agency was Constant Motion Creative Media, because the only constant in the universe is energy. [28:55] Steven came from a Stand-Up Comedy background. [29:05] We are all trying to be a one of a kind. [29:44] Where does all of Michael's energy come from? [30:15] Michael is only completely energized when he is actively interested in the topic. [30:55] Energy can be a blessing and a curse, but Michael looks on the blessings side. [31:55] Sometimes TALKING doesn't serve everyone.Sometimes you need to learn to LISTEN. [33:04] Coaches need coaches. We can't see in yourself what we see in others. [33:29] The agencies most important client is the agency. [33:55] Melissa had a 4th of July Hangover Breakdown (but not from drinking..) [34:44] It is important to take inventory of yourself, and bring yourself back into alignment. [35:20] It becomes REAL when you WRITE it down. [35:45] Again we say, Your daily activities and core values HAVE TO align. [36:15] The more open you are, the less weight you have on you. It can make a HUGE difference in your business and life. [26:46] With the internet, people see others succeeding easily, they think their struggles are uncommon. [37:35] Entrepreneurs tend to self-sabotage when their path becomes easy. [38:12] Michael has been doing hardcore self analysis and personal development to succeed. [38:55] What Michael does to get himself out of a FUNK! [39:50] Things that irritate the SHIT out of you - REMOVE it from your life. [40:15] Don't let others have controlling influence on you. [41:13] We have control over our MINDS and our actions and who we surround ourselves with. [41:50] People get off on the martyr mindset. [42:25] The balance between helping and being a know-it-all. [42:38] You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. [43:33] The biggest challenge for Michael's #CreativeHustler lifestyle. [44:25] So many people shut down their businesses, to work in their sweet spot in someone else's business. [45:30] Ask yourself: If you did not NEED money, what would you DO? [46:15] Great story about finding your passion, and changing your mindset. [47:45] Low Self-Worth can hinder your GROWTH. [48:40] Michael is still following HIS WAY, and it has proven insanely successful. He highly recommends staying in your ZONE OF GENIUS. It's effortless, easy, and fun. The “MY WAY” thing. [49:35] If something goes wrong, it doesn't mean that you should NEVER do it again. [49:55] We sometimes see others the way we see ourselves. [50:23] Don't go down the Shiny Object rabbit hole. [51:15] There will always be things that come up, but last year Michael thought that credit cards was the only way to live. [52:20] Michael had over 100,000 in debt, and his two pieces of advice: Ignore them, or file bankruptcy. [53:20] Michael has made the money he needed since age 19, but he had so many bills to pay which made life more expensive. [54:20] You need to solve the problem first - but you need to get to the core before the surface. [55:35] The issue is always: Where the hell does our MONEY go? [56:05] Michael's choice for #CreativeHustler coffee meet-up: Clint Eastwood. [57:02] Even the celebrities are just human, and have the same struggles but hide it much better. [57:40] You can fail at what you DON'T want to do, so you should give what you WANT a try. [58:35] Find the people who can help you find your SWEET SPOT. [59:05] all these experiences will help you be successful in the future [59:30] Where to find Michael on the internet.
