✨ Chancen anziehen Shownotes In dieser Episode von TomsTalkTime.com geht es darum, wie du Chancen anziehen kannst, statt ihnen ständig hinterherzulaufen. Denn wahre Anziehung entsteht nicht durch Anstrengung, sondern durch Energie, Bewusstsein und Klarheit. Tom zeigt, wie du aufhörst zu kämpfen, wie du deine innere Haltung veränderst und warum erfolgreiche Unternehmer ihr Umfeld und ihre Energie bewusst gestalten, um Chancen magnetisch anzuziehen. Im ersten Teil erklärt Tom, dass Erfolg weniger mit Tun und mehr mit Sein zu tun hat. Viele glauben, sie müssten härter arbeiten, um mehr zu erreichen. Doch das Gegenteil ist wahr: Je mehr Druck du machst, desto mehr blockierst du den natürlichen Fluss. Chancen anziehen bedeutet, dich so auszurichten, dass dein Umfeld auf deine Energie reagiert. Wenn du ruhig, klar und fokussiert bist, spüren Menschen Vertrauen – und Vertrauen zieht neue Möglichkeiten an. Ein entscheidender Punkt ist die Verschiebung vom „Tun" zum „Sein". Energie ist mächtiger als Aktion. Dein Zustand formt deine Wirkung. Wenn du gestresst oder unsicher bist, spüren andere das. Wenn du in Ruhe und Präsenz arbeitest, verändert sich deine Ausstrahlung – und mit ihr die Resonanz deines Umfelds. Erfolg entsteht dann nicht aus Zwang, sondern aus natürlicher Anziehungskraft. Chancen anziehen bedeutet: Du arbeitest mit dem Leben, nicht gegen es. Tom beschreibt, wie erfolgreiche Unternehmer ihre Energie bewusst pflegen. Sie achten auf ihren mentalen Zustand, bevor sie handeln. Sie wissen, dass Worte, Haltung und Emotionen Frequenzen sind, die Resonanz erzeugen. Deshalb beginnen sie den Tag klar – mit Ritualen, Pausen und Momenten der Stille. Sie wissen: Wer sich gut fühlt, wirkt gut. Und wer gut wirkt, zieht gute Chancen an. Im zweiten Teil geht es um das Resonanzprinzip. Gleiches zieht Gleiches an. Wenn du dich auf Mangel fokussierst, ziehst du Mangel an. Wenn du dich auf Fülle konzentrierst, ziehst du Möglichkeiten an. Chancen anziehen bedeutet, dich innerlich auf Fülle zu programmieren – mit Dankbarkeit, Vertrauen und Offenheit. So änderst du nicht nur dein Denken, sondern auch das, was du wahrnimmst. Tom erklärt, dass dein Selbstwert wie ein Magnet wirkt. Wer sich selbst gering schätzt, sendet Unsicherheit – und Unsicherheit stößt ab. Wer sich selbst vertraut, zieht Resonanz an. Erfolg beginnt also im Innen, nicht im Außen. Deine Ausstrahlung ist das Echo deines Selbstwerts. Je stabiler dein Vertrauen in dich, desto stärker deine Fähigkeit, Chancen anzuziehen. Zum Schluss spricht Tom über die Kraft innerer Ruhe. In einer lauten Welt ist Gelassenheit der neue Wettbewerbsvorteil. Ruhe signalisiert Souveränität. Menschen vertrauen dir schneller, wenn du präsent und ausgeglichen bist. Innere Ruhe macht dich magnetisch – ganz ohne Kampf.

If you've been stuck in that "what am I doing wrong?" phase of growing your online coaching business, where it feels like you're doing everything and still not seeing results —> this is the episode you didn't know you needed.    In this unfiltered chapter of my journey, I take you behind the scenes to the moment where I nearly quit. I wanted to burn it all down.
I was frustrated and convinced I might've made a huge mistake trying to start an online business.  But what I didn't know at the time… was that I was on the verge of my first real momentum.    This episode is for the entrepreneurs in the messy middle. The women building a business with no team, no roadmap, and no fallback plan. The coaches who are showing up online every day and still feel invisible. If that's you? I see you, and I've been exactly where you are.    RESOURCES MENTIONED:    BIGGEST BLACK FRIDAY SALE EVER: Join the famous ProjectME Posse Business & Money Coaching Membership HERE    LAST CHANCE to work with me at this level: My Exclusive 2-Month Private Business Coaching Program APPLY HERE (*serious applicants only please)    Connect with Tiff:  Tiffany on Instagram @projectme_with_tiffany   Tiffany on TikTok @projectme_with_tiffany  Tiffany on YouTube: ProjectME TV  Tiffany's FREE Abundance Email Community: JOIN HERE > The Secret Posse     In this chapter, I'm sharing:  > The rock-bottom moment that almost made me walk away from my dream  > What shifted right after I reached my breaking point  > How to recognize if your breakdown is actually a sign of a breakthrough  > The mindset and strategy that finally moved me from stuck… to sales  > Why burnout, confusion, and fear are often symptoms of a quantum leap on the way  > What it truly looks like to build an online business without an audience, without connections, and without a clue how the tech works 

Ever feel like you're hustling nonstop but still wondering, “Why isn't this moving faster?” Or maybe you've hit that invisible wall where the business is growing… yet somehow you're not growing with it? In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm jammin' with David Guttman, a serial entrepreneur, executive leader, and business strategist with over 35 years of building, scaling, and exiting multiple eight and nine-figure companies. This dude is a three-time Inc. 500 entrepreneur, has an undergrad in Computer Science from Brown University, an MBA from Wharton, and has led teams of hundreds while growing companies from near-bankruptcy to blockbuster exits. He's lived the startup grind, the CEO pressure-cooker, the investor negotiations, the due diligence marathons — all of it.But what makes David so special isn't the titles. He's lived real adversity, made real money, lost real sleep, and came out with clarity, humility, and wisdom worth borrowing.In this episode, we dive into everything from raising capital to avoiding the trap of traditional education… from avoiding burnout to leveraging AI… from building healthier relationships to firing your worst customers. The breadth of knowledge he brings is crazy, but the heart behind it is even better.David breaks down the single biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when trying to raise money or prepare for an exit, failing to budget and forecast. He explains why “dollar cost average into Bitcoin” may be smarter than chasing shiny objects, why AI will replace those who don't use it, and why authenticity beats any degree, credential, or fancy LinkedIn headline.Here are a few key takeaways from the episode:Your business is blind without a budget. If you're not forecasting, tracking, and adjusting, you're not running a company — you're gambling. A real financial model acts like a crystal ball and boosts your valuation instantly.Mentorship beats an MBA every time. David explains why working for a powerhouse leader (even for free) will fast-track your growth more than any traditional education ever could.Fire your worst customers. They drain 80% of your energy and slow your growth. Raise your price until they leave — or until they become worth it.AI is the new calculator — ignore it and get left behind. Spend a couple hours a week learning and applying it, and you'll leapfrog the competition. Avoid it, and you'll get replaced.Authenticity wins the long game. The world is noisy. People trust people — not institutions. Build a personal brand rooted in truth, service, and value.David also breaks down the real reason businesses stall during acquisitions, how to build the right board of advisors, why fast “no's” are better than slow “maybe's,” and why success feels empty unless your relationships, health, and integrity stay intact along the way.This episode is for every entrepreneur who wants to scale without losing themselves. For every hustler who wants to work smarter, earn more, and still be present for the people who matter. And for every dreamer who knows there's more in the tank, more impact, more purpose, more joy.If you're ready to level up how you build, how you lead, and how you live, then you've gotta tune into this full conversation. David drops tactical wisdom, real-world stories, and mindset shifts you'll want to revisit again and again.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you? David says it's like, if you can enjoy the journey, then what's it all for?

Before anyone hires you, partners with you, or invests in you, they look you up. That search either builds trust or kills it. Your personal brand is no longer optional. It is your digital resume, your virtual business card, and your competitive edge. In a world where attention is currency, how you show up online determines the opportunities that show up in your life. In this episode, we break down how sharing your story can open doors you do not even see yet. One post can reach the right person at the right moment. Credibility online leads to real conversations, real partnerships, and real wealth. We also walk you through the exact tools and workflows we use to create and distribute content consistently while running multiple businesses. From recording and editing, to organizing your content pipeline, to converting followers into community and clients, we show you how to build a system that works even when you are offline. This is not about going viral. It is about becoming impossible to ignore to the right people. If you know you are doing meaningful work and want more people to feel it, see it, and believe in it, this conversation gives you the blueprint. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

Most people overthink the first step. They think they need more money, more experience, or the perfect timing. But our entire real estate journey started with one simple decision: we were willing to live differently than everyone around us. We didn't jump into big deals or come from family money. We started small by reducing our living expenses, renting out extra space, and learning how to manage people and problems in real time. That first property didn't change our bank account overnight, but it changed who we were. And that shift in identity is what made everything else possible. In this episode, we walk through how that one uncomfortable step slowly compounded into a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio. We share how one property led to the next, how we transitioned from side-hustle landlords into operators, and how our confidence grew deal by deal. It wasn't luck. It wasn't shortcuts. It was stacking simple plays with patience and discipline.The real hack isn't real estate. The real hack is being willing to live differently for a few years so you can live the rest of your life on your terms. If you feel stuck at the starting line or you know you're meant for more but don't know where to begin, this episode will give you the blueprint. Your first deal won't make you rich. But it will make you dangerous. And that changes everything. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

I've been a fan of Ben's since his first book, Schott's Original Miscellany came out in 2002, a collection of quirky facts and insights into subcultures; his 13 (!) subsequent books expanded on the theme and have sold more than 2.5 million copies, in multiple languages, to date. Ben also wrote two of the best "homage" books in the style of PG Wodehouse, which, if you're a Wodehouse fan, I urge you to read. His newest book, Schott's Significa, delves into the worlds of hidden languages and subcultures: open-outcry stock trading hand signals, the unspoken languages of the servers of Eleven Madison Park, and the very-much-spoken insider slang of everyone from the diamond dealers of midtown Manhattan to world-famous cocktail bars like Tres Monos and Overstory. We had a very pleasant and - as you might expect - wide-ranging chat about everything, enjoy!Ben on IG: https://www.instagram.com/benschott/Ben on X / Twitter: https://x.com/benschott?s=21&t=kTsTPMPK0kgHLvK8ldrFXQBen's website: https://www.benschott.com/Buy Ben's books (and support independent bookshops): https://bookshop.org/beta-search?keywords=ben+schott Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we're only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.

What if a single introduction from a stranger you never saw again could change your entire life? In this episode, Theresa Bassett, CEO of The Diamond Group and sales and marketing expert with over $550M in transactions, shares the remarkable story of how a mystery connector named Isabelle introduced her to Kelly Bassett at a running training group and then vanished forever. That one serendipitous moment transformed not only Theresa's personal life but her entire professional trajectory, leading her from Fortune 500 corporate sales to building a thriving 28-year-old family business that now employs a team of 20 and serves small businesses across the nation. Theresa reveals how she "went in kicking and screaming" to entrepreneurship, initially unable to envision herself as a CEO, but discovered her true calling: equipping and empowering small business owners to triple their revenue, build legacy wealth, and create ripple effects that impact entire families and communities. From tripling a home builder's revenue in 18 months to helping a solo orthodontist open five offices and build generational wealth, Theresa's story is a masterclass in the power of partnership, resilience, and saying "yes" even when you can't see the full picture.   [00:05:29] What Theresa Does: Serving Small Business America CEO of The Diamond Group: A sales and marketing growth revenue agency for small businesses Why Small Business? Small businesses provide 86% of jobs in America Theresa counts it as one of her greatest privileges to employ a team of 20 people Every time a team member buys a car, house, or takes a vacation, it feels like a personal victory [00:07:43] The Backstory: From Corporate to Coaching to CEO Trained as a sales professional working for major home builders Merchandised new home neighborhoods for the biggest builders in the world Coached business owners on sales and marketing one-on-one Believed in the power of personalized consulting to elevate brands [00:08:55] The Life-Changing Introduction Both showed up at a running training group Neither could run "a lick"—couldn't even run to the corner A woman named Isabelle was at the front gate Isabelle: "Oh, you're new. There's this other new guy here too. His name's Kelly. I should have you meet." [00:11:40] The Partnership Begins: Joining The Diamond Group Started an agency in San Francisco, California Left the radio industry as a producer to produce radio ads independently Known as "Crash Bassett" in the radio world (crashed his truck into a brick wall on the way to work) When radio consolidated, he pivoted to more video production [00:13:13] Going "In Kicking and Screaming" A marketing agency had never been on her radar "Okay God, what are you up to? Seriously, whatcha up to?" Admits: "I had some selfish motives" [00:16:34] Kelly's Remarkable Pivot Not easy to welcome a new partner into your business Not easy to move yourself from chief/presidency to welcome a CEO alongside you Kelly allowed Theresa's vision to come up alongside his Eventually, her vision became the vision they were calibrating to [00:17:47] Results That Create Ripple Effects Rebranded a couple times along the journey Name reflects the resiliency and strength they build in strong businesses Goal: Build strong, sustainable sales and marketing systems so businesses don't run owners into the ground [00:18:58] Marketing Is About More Than New Customers The Recruiting Connection: "People think of marketing as new clients, customers, and patients, but marketing is also about new team members. Recruiting is a marketing and sales activity. If you want to attract great talent to your team, you gotta have a magnetic brand." [00:21:10] The Power Team Approach Theresa couldn't do this work alone When a client comes in, they get a "power team": essentially a sales and marketing department down the hall Experts rally around the business, create a strategic plan, and execute It's a co-creative collaborative process [00:22:58] Synergy: 1 + 1 = 3 (or 500!) One plus one equals three The ripple effect of exponential partnering impact Her relationship with Kelly is a prime example: "That was a one plus one equals 500 synergistic relationship" [00:24:21] Impact on Employees: Opening Doors Diamond Group hires and recruits a lot of young professionals Marketing is an industry of youth and talent (especially with AI changing everything) Watching employees soar is "a little bit like watching your kids move up and out of the nest" [00:28:10] Racehorses Run Faster Together Put the blinders on so all they can see is forward But they're getting momentum from running right alongside others "I love running with other racehorses" Iron sharpens iron We're all here to help each other— none of us can do it alone   KEY QUOTES "My mission on the planet is to equip and encourage and embolden leaders and their teams." - Theresa Bassett "Sometimes it's just your door that you open to them is the door that unlocks another door. None of that would've been possible if it weren't for Kelly. Him opening his door to me allowed me to open my door to so many others." - Theresa Bassett  "If you want to attract great talent to your team, you gotta have a magnetic brand." - Theresa Bassett "Racehorses are likely to run at least 10% faster when they're next to other racehorses." - Theresa Bassett CONNECT WITH THERESA BASSETT

„Immer mehr Menschen und auch Unternehmen haben die politische Lage in den letzten Jahren noch etwas entspannter gesehen und merken jetzt, dass sie etwas verändern wollen. Das ist grundsätzlich der Ansatz. Es ist ganz wichtig, nicht nur den Zielort im Auge zu haben. Es ist wichtig, dass Sie mit dem Finanzamt und Co. im Reinen sind und Steuerberater das supporten”, sagt Marcel Verschaeren. Der CEO der Schweizer Verschaeren AG weiter: „Meistens fängt es ohne Wohnsitzwechsel an. Es ist erst einmal so eine Art Stufenübergang. Die meisten sind am Anfang noch in Deutschland oder Österreich und entscheiden sich dann, langfristig den Wechsel anzutreten. Aber sie wollen heute schon prüfen, was überhaupt möglich ist. Es ist ein Irrglaube, dass man Milliardär oder Multimillionär sein muss. Es ist auch für Unternehmen, die vielleicht 80.000 oder 100.000 Euro Gewinn im Jahr machen oder auch Privatpersonen, die vielleicht 300.000 Euro oder etwas mehr haben."

What happens when success leaves you feeling empty?In this Bite-sized Screw It Just DO It episode, I revisit my conversation with Dan Murray-Serter, co-founder of Heights and host of Secret Leaders. Dan shares the exact moment he realised his business, Gravel, was winning awards but draining his purpose.Rather than chase growth for the sake of it, Dan and his co-founder made a bold call, to shut the company down, return investor money, and start from zero. Out of that decision came Heights, a brain-care brand built on science, transparency, and genuine wellbeing.This short episode is about the courage to stop, reassess, and rebuild with intention. It's a must-listen for founders feeling stuck, burned out, or questioning their direction.Key TakeawaysBurnout can be a signal, not a setback. When your work drains you, it's often a sign to change direction.Success without purpose feels empty. Dan learned that achievements mean little without alignment to your values.Resetting isn't failure. Ending a company can open space for something far stronger.Build around authenticity. Heights grew from being transparent, not perfect.Courage comes from clarity. Once Dan recognised what felt wrong, the decision to start again became obvious.

Here's a question that'll keep you up at night: How do you take a company from $300K in annual revenue to $1.5 million in 18 months, then scale to $3-5 million within five years? That's the challenge facing Greg Hirschi from Colorado. He's the new executive leader of an 18-year-old company selling ethics assessment services to professional licensing boards. They've expanded from an entrepreneurial model to a small team with one salesperson and one customer service person. The goal is aggressive growth, and Greg needs to know where to focus his limited resources to get the biggest bang for his buck. If you're nodding your head right now because you're in a similar situation, pay attention. Because the mistakes you make at $300K will haunt you at $3 million. The Resource Reality Check Let's be brutally honest about what a $300K revenue company means: You have no money. You have a razor-thin budget. You have one salesperson and one leader trying to do everything. At this stage, you have exactly one priority: REVENUE. You don't have the luxury of fixing operations, perfecting your tech stack, or building elaborate systems. You need to sell. Period. But here's where most small companies screw this up. They think selling means taking anything with a pulse. If it can fog a mirror, they'll do business with it. That's a death spiral disguised as growth. The Operator's Dilemma Greg comes from an operations background. He's analytical, process-driven, and systematic. Those traits are incredible assets for building a business, especially when the goal is to scale fast. But they can also be a liability when managing salespeople. Here's what happens: Operators think in systems and logic. Salespeople think in relationships and emotion. Operators want everything organized and predictable. Salespeople throw deals on the table that are messy and unpredictable. If you're an operator trying to lead sales, you need to understand this fundamental tension. Your salesperson is out there getting hammered with objections every single day, building narratives in their head about why people won't buy. You're thinking, "Just brush it off and do it again. What's wrong with you?" They're thinking, "You have no idea what it's like out here." This is why reading New Sales Simplified by Mike Weinberg is non-negotiable if you're an operator managing sales. You need to learn how salespeople think, how they operate, and how to lead them effectively without losing your mind. Start With Your ICP or Die Trying The single most important thing Greg needs to do right now to scale is get laser-focused on his Ideal Customer Profile. Not kind of focused. Not "we have a general idea." I mean obsessively, precisely, ridiculously dialed in on exactly who they should be selling to. Here's why this matters so much at $300K: Greg's salesperson has a $600K pipeline and will close 50% of it. Sounds great, right? But if half those customers churn because they're the wrong fit, requiring constant re-education and hand-holding, Greg's salesperson will get stuck in account management mode. They'll stop prospecting for new business because they're too busy re-selling existing accounts. That's how you stay stuck at $300K forever. Your ICP drives everything. It determines your messaging, your marketing, your presentation materials, and which stakeholders you need to reach inside target organizations. It helps you build relevant social proof stories. It allows you to coach your salesperson on handling specific objections instead of generic brush-offs. Most importantly, it gives you guardrails. You can ask your salesperson in pipeline reviews: "Tell me the strategic reason why we should chase this account. How does it fit our ICP? Why is this worth our limited resources when our singular goal right now is growth?" When you're running a $300K company with one salesperson and one leader, you cannot afford to chase every deal.

In this episode of the Orthopreneurs Podcast, Dr. Jordan Lamberton shares his journey into orthodontics, influenced by his family's legacy in dentistry. He discusses the transition from traditional brackets to aligners, the challenges of adopting new technologies, and the importance of digital workflows in modern practices. Jordan also explores his entrepreneurial ventures, including car flipping and real estate investments, and his involvement with OrthoBerry, a tech startup aimed at enhancing practice management. Additionally, he shares insights on owning a pediatric dental practice and the value of consulting in navigating this field. The conversation emphasizes the need for unity and open dialogue within the orthodontic community.QUOTES"My practice went from 10% to 80% aligners in six months. Once I committed, I went all in." — Dr. Jordan Lamberton"I bought a house for $700K and sold it for $1.6M in three years. But it wasn't about the money—it was about giving my wife a project she loved." — Dr. Jordan LambertonKey Takeaways00:00 Introduction to Jordan Lamberton02:56 Jordan's Journey into Orthodontics06:03 Transitioning from Brackets to Aligners08:43 Challenges in Technology Adoption12:02 The Importance of Digital Workflow15:08 Exploring Side Hustles: Car Flipping and Real Estate17:59 Investing in OrthoBerry20:44 Owning a Pediatric Practice24:04 Consulting and Support in Pediatric Dentistry26:56 The Future of Orthodontics and Professional UnityAdditional ResourcesIf you've ever felt like you're stuck in a cycle of burnout, indecision, or just too many “what ifs,” this episode is for you.

In this episode, Jimmy sits down with his close friend Taylor Palmer, founder of Rope Swing Moab—the crew behind the massive canyon rope swings that have become a rite of passage for We Are The They. Taylor shares how a desert hobby among buddies turned into a fully permitted operation, why Moab's arches and canyons make these swings possible, and how rigorous safety (redundant systems, load cells, and 10x margins) transforms a terrifying idea into a life-changing experience.Beyond the adrenaline, Taylor explains the deeper side of the jump: intention, breakthrough, and brotherhood. From the hard lessons of earning permits with the BLM, to stories of people leaving addictions and grief on the cliff, to his own journey from welding grind to dream job—and even a quick surf trip with his daughter—this conversation is about courage, community, and building a life that actually fits. 00:00 Introduction01:45 From Desert Hobby to Epic Canyon Swings04:00 Safety, Rigging, and the Road to Becoming Permitted10:00 Facing Fear and Finding Deeper Meaning in the Jump18:00 We Are The They Moments & Personal Breakthroughs26:00 Brotherhood, Feedback, and Growth33:00 Balancing Ambition, Family, and Fulfillment41:00 From Welding Work to Purpose and Freedom49:00 Reflections on Courage, Purpose & Next Adventures50:28 Outro

Founders often talk about an acquisition as the ultimate business goal. But Gwen Whiting knows M&A isn't always the fairytale it's made out to be. Gwen cofounded The Laundress, grew it into a cleaning empire, and sold the company to Unilever for a reported $100 million. But then... the product recall happened. Gwen tells Nicole about the scrappy days of launching and scaling The Laundress without investor capital, and the cautionary tales from the Unilever deal. Gwen talks about how she's approaching her new venture The Fill differently— and why she's not building it to sell. Then, Gwen opens up about her experience as one of the survivors of sexual assault by Dr. Robert Hadden, and what talking with other survivors taught her the power of collective action. Learn more about The Fill Unilever's response to the product recall Gwen's piece about learning her OBGYN was a predator
