This is episode #57 on “Taking Initiative, Your Brain and Change and Leveraging Mentors”Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast, my name is Andrea Samadi, I’m a former educator whose been fascinated with understanding the science behind high performance strategies in schools, sports and the workplace for the past 20 years. Since you are listening to this podcast, I’m sure you are like me, and love to learn, grow, challenge yourself and always are looking for that competitive edge, these days more so than usual, I’m sure. This weekend I had a phone call from Marissa Leinert from Parent Led Academy[i] an organization helping parents to improve their skills at being better parents using social and emotional learning resources. She contacted me via LinkedIn and asked if she could brainstorm some ideas with me on the direction of her business, since she is just starting out this field. I told her to call me and sent her my number because when people take the initiative to reach out, asking for help, I think it’s important to lend a hand, share ideas, contacts and resources if you have them, and collaborate.When we finally connected, we chatted about where she was with her company and I thought back to 20 years ago when I first wrote down the idea that turned into Achieveit360’s programs and services for schools and the workplace, and eventually this podcast. I remembered all of the people who helped me to get to where I am today and thought of a quote by Robin Sharma who said that “Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then in reality.”  If you are like Marissa, and have been thinking about an idea that you want to pursue, maybe a new direction for your career, a new product that you want to create, or something and you just aren’t sure of even where to begin, this episode is for you.  This episode will focus on some key starting points so you can follow the steps and get moving with something new. Whatever idea you have, that you might be thinking about, start with writing it out, and then expand on your vision by writing down some ideas and see where you can begin to take action. I was lucky enough to have met some of the top leaders in the country who shared their secrets with me over 20 years ago when I first started and I felt that since I had this opportunity, that I had an obligation to take action with the strategies and tips they shared with me. Now that I am being asked more often, how did you get started with this idea, I thought I would share with you the process that I used and hope you find these ideas helpful.Step 1: “Know Your Why” Which Also Can Be Seen as “Know Your Values”Simon Sinek[ii] built his career from this idea and before starting anything new, I always suggest revisiting Simon’s “Golden Circle”[iii] where he talks about the importance of knowing your “Why, Your Purpose, What You Believe.” If everyone in your organization knows this for themselves, then it will be easy to motivate each person towards the common organizational goal.  Before any pivot you make, go back and look at your purpose and make sure the new direction aligns to this your why, purpose or values.  The “How” or your process will come easy once you’ve identified your “Why” and the “What” you do, or end result will naturally follow. What you believe can also be seen as your values. Once you know the values that are important to you and your organization, everything else becomes crystal clear.For me, I know that we believe that well-being equals achievement and productivity, (with physical and mental health being my #1 value).  Everything we create/market/sell/produce must help improve well-being that will lead to an increase of productivity, achievement and results.  What are your highest values? Go back and listen to episode 2 “Self-Awareness: Know Thyself”[iv] where we dive deeper into uncovering your values or what’s important in your personal and professional life to ensure happiness.  Remember: To “know thyself” is the most substantial achievement we can have in our lifetime.” Jim Rohn, an American author, speaker and entrepreneur reminds us that “The major value in life is not what you get. It’s what you become.” Step 2: Recognize the “Change Barrier” and the Need for Safety in Your BrainThis topic is something that we aren’t taught in school so many of us when faced with trying something new, or pivoting to a new direction, are hit with what I write about in the Level Up[v] book (lesson 7) called “The Change Barrier.” It’s the fear that hits us from a subconscious level when we begin a new idea. Whenever there is a major shift in your life, you will find yourself face-to-face with this “Change Barrier” that’s like a brick wall and wants to keep you safe, in your old world. When you are making a decision and you start to feel that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, recognize this as hitting the “Change Barrier.” Your entire central nervous system goes off as you think about the new thought or idea in your conscious mind, that challenges you to do something you have never done before.  You might have some automatic negative thoughts that cross your mind that say things like “who are you to try something new, don’t waste your time, this idea didn’t work the last time you tried it” or something like that. You will need to have strategies in place to help you to move past this stage in the direction of your goals, instead of quitting, that will happen if you don’t properly prepare.Remember that the panic you feel is real. What’s actually happening, is the amygdala (in your limbic/emotional brain) begins to fire when it’s recognizing that something is an actual or perceived threat. The amygdala acts like a thermostat and fires as stress and anxiety rise. High levels of stress hormone cortisol flood your body and it tries to get you to stop taking the actions that are causing the anxiety and go back to safety or your old world.  You can either keep going and move beyond the fear or go back to safety and comfort. That feeling doesn’t go away until with time and practice we have infused the new idea into our brain, creating the new neural pathway of this new idea, and we finally get to that place of freedom, where we no longer feel uncomfortable with the new idea. We have bypassed fear and anxiety and stepped forward, to growth.This one takes some self-awareness as well, as years into your new role, it is common to have doubts and fears around this new position. I remember speaking to a very successful CEO of a large company, and he shared with me that there are many days he sits at his desk and marvels at how someone with his background could have reached the heights of success that he was living on a daily basis. It’s important to remember to integrate your success into your new life. Celebrate your small and large wins, so that they sink in at the non-conscious level in your brain. On those few days that you experience self-doubt, take a break and do something that you enjoy. Be kind to yourself and remember that you do deserve everything that you have earned.Step 3: Find Your MentorsI was lucky enough to have crossed paths with some powerful thinkers in my late 20s who got me started on this journey of creating, developing and launching new ideas.  Speaking with Marissa this weekend, reminded me that at this point in many of our lives, we are thinking of new ways of conducting business. If we were used to doing live trainings in the past, many of us have adapted to online training.  If we have never done this before, we will want to look for mentors to help us to gain the confidence we need with our new business models. With confidence, we build competence with our new skills and eventually they become second nature.If you say “well, I don’t know any powerful leaders to ask for their advice” don’t quit just yet. Keep looking and as you might have heard before, “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”Stay 4: Keep an Open Mind In 2014 when I was looking to take my programs and services online, like many people are doing now, I found a mentor to show me everything I needed to know and he was unlike anyone I had ever worked with in the past. His name is Austin Walsh[vi], and at the time, he was a high school student living in Chicago. I had to wait for him to finish classes to return my calls, as he worked with me over Skype on creating the membership area of my website where all of our content is hosted. He had worked with some of the speakers I knew (Les Brown and Mark Victor Hansen from the Chicken Soup for the Soul books) so he came highly recommended and I’m still amazed at how this then-16-year-old knew so much about the online world. I learned so much from him and would still say he’s one of my most memorable mentors.Step 5: Manage Your Relationships In my late 20s, I was fortunate to have met many world leaders when I worked in the motivational speaking industry. Always stay in contact with people you meet as you never know who will continue to impact you in your future.One powerful influencer I met in 2001 was Greg Link, who partnered with Stephen Covey to form CoveyLink.org and co-author “Smart Trust: The Defining Skill That Transforms Managers into Leaders.”[vii] He saw my interest in youth development while he was very busy building the Covey empire and taking the “7 Habits of Highly Effective People[viii]” book to impact millions of people worldwide, but I kept in touch with him over the years. He always was there with ideas, business model suggestions for my programs for the school market, and just plain inspiration to keep going. It’s been a few years since I have seen Greg, but as I was writing the outline for this episode this past weekend, I heard from Greg via Linkedin and it made me realize the importance of keeping in touch with your connections and then helping others (like Marissa) who need your help. See Greg’s testimonial of our work 7 years ago.[ix]Step 6: Be Open to Ongoing Learning When you surround yourself with others who put value on learning/growth, you will inherit new ideas that you can implement for your own business growth. There is always someone who has done what you are looking to do, and with success, so keep learning, attending conferences (when they are back up and running) and networking with those people you see leading in your field.Before I launched the Level Up [x]program for the school market, I attended a class called the “Make, Market and Launch It[xi]” based on the book by Pam Hendrickson and Mike Koenigs.  If you are looking to launch a product, I highly recommend this book that you can get right away on Amazon. You will learn the 7 most important steps to making or creating your product, and then launching it to the market of your choice.Always think about the problem that you are looking to solve which is Shark Tank’s Robert Herjavec’s #1 tip for entrepreneurs.[xii] He suggests that the best businesses are ones that “find a problem and then solve it.”Once you have created your product (whether it’s a book, online course) or whatever it might be, then get feedback from your audience. Don’t ask your sister or your Mom for their feedback—they will lie. Be prepared for someone to tell you it’s awful, ugly, the worst idea ever, and listen to what they say. Take that feedback to improve what you have created I hope you have found these 6 tips useful. I would love to hear what you think. Send me a message through LinkedIn, or Twitter, and I look forward to seeing you on the next episode with an exciting new guest from Australia. See you soon.REFERENCES:[i] Parent Led Academy an SEL  Resource to Help Parents Improve Their Skills https://parentledacademy.org/[ii] Simon Sinek https://simonsinek.com/commit/start-with-why/[iii] https://www.freshworks.com/freshsales-crm/resources/summary-of-start-with-why-blog/[iv] Neuroscience Meets SEL Podcast EPISODE #2 “Self-Awareness: Know Thyself” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-awareness-know-thyself/id1469683141?i=1000443474075[v] Level Up: A Brain-Based Strategy to Skyrocket Student Success and Achievement by Andrea Samadi (Wheatmark, 2015) https://www.amazon.com/Level-Up-Brain-Based-Skyrocket-Achievement/dp/1627872647[vi] Austin William Walsh  https://www.facebook.com/pg/walsh.austin/posts/[vii] Smart Trust: The Defining Skill That Transforms Managers into Leaders by Stephen Covey and Greg Link https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Trust-Defining-Transforms-Managers/dp/1451652178[viii] 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_7_Habits_of_Highly_Effective_People[ix] Greg Link Testimonial of Achieveit360 and Andrea Samadi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_z_d6iBdfw[x]  Level Up Online by Andrea Samadi https://www.achieveit360.com/level-up-online/[xi] Make, Market Launch It by Pam Hendrickson and Mike Koenigs (2013) https://www.amazon.com/Make-Market-Launch-Ultimate-Creation-ebook/dp/B00B9JKODO[xii] Shark Tank’s Robert Herjavec’s Top 5 Business Tips for Entrepreneurs (May 16, 2019) by Abby Narishkin and Jack Houston  https://www.businessinsider.com/shark-tank-robert-herjavec-top-business-tips-entrepreneurs-2019-5

Show Notes This is one of those episodes where the subject matter is divided between my guest's journey to launch and build a successful business with something powerful they achieved at the same time.  In this case, it's landing a TEDx Talk. If you're an entrepreneur you want to maximize every minute of every day and that means multi-tasking when we can. Including our meal times. I read morning prayer as I eat breakfast and I watch videos while I eat lunch. They range from faith-centered messages by Melvin Pillay, success-centered messages from Jack Canfield, how-to messages from Pam Hendrickson, MOZ, and others to the many fascinating messages from TED talks. Maybe somewhere in the back of your mind you've thought you'd love to deliver one. You have a big message that the world needs to hear. And you love the idea of having your message go viral like Brene Brown's or Mel Robbins or any of the other top TED presenters. But how do you do that? Well one way is to start with a TEDx talk. TED talks of course are those powerful presentations that are 18 minutes or less that educate, inform, and inspire. TEDx talks are local conferences that are formatted similarly to the big TED conference. So how do you get to present at one? Well that's part of what today's guest is going to share with us. Robert James Collier is the founder of Entrepreneur's Dinner. These are exclusive networking experiences built around the idea that breaking bread with someone is a powerful relationship building experience like few other things. Rob has built his business entirely by word of mouth often spread by social media. He's going to talk a little about his business and how he developed the idea but he's also going to talk about his experience applying for, being selected to deliver, and then presenting a TED talk at TEDx Buffalo. Listen in as Robert explains: The common need we've experienced that inspired him to host his first dinner and what led him to believe this could become a business. What makes your average networking dinner so bad and the key element that can elevate it to something powerful   The concept of Psychological Intimacy and how it helps us build strong teams, strong networks, and can lead to strong client relationships as well. How he landed his TEDx Talk. As always be sure to listen all the way to the end where I'll share your cocktail exercise and action step for this episode.

Learn how this small group can support you as you work to achieve your goals. I'll keep you posted on when the next group opens up for enrollment and how you can apply to join.  

As marketers, we talk a lot about about how to attract new customers. But what we don’t talk about is the opposite—how to fire a customer. Trust me, I understand the desire to want to hang onto each and every one of your customers. When I first started out in private coaching, I would work with anyone who would have me. But what I’ve learned is that sometimes it’s necessary to let someone go who isn’t a good fit for your business. It’s for their own good—and for the good of your brand and your community. If you’re as lucky […] The post 9 Signs That It’s Time to Fire a Customer appeared first on Pam Hendrickson.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Video content is one of the fastest ways to connect authentically with your audience. But if you’re not comfortable in front of the lens, it’s not going to work for you. But what if you could be the Steph Curry of video marketing? You don’t get to be “the greatest shooter in NBA history” by accident. The Golden State Warriors guard doesn’t just walk out onto the basketball court and crush it. Curry has a specific warmup routine. He dribbles two basketballs at once, takes over 100 shots, practices one-on-one drills […] The post Get More Comfortable on Camera Now with These Video Content Filming Tips appeared first on Pam Hendrickson.

A recent study from Marketing Sherpa proved that people spend 100% more time on pages with videos on them. Translation? You need to be filming videos. I get it. Video doesn’t come naturally to everyone. Being in front of the camera can be awkward. I wrestle with all kinds of emotions and uncertainty every. single. time. I. film. But here’s what can make it a whole lot easier . . . A good teleprompter setup. I’ll show you my 7 best secrets this week so you can start filming more videos—and better videos—and grabbing more mind share from your audience.

Sometimes, we just need a little push to know that we’re making the right decision, whether it’s buying a new piece of furniture, investing in a new piece of technology, or choosing what school our children should go to—and the same goes for our customers. We may strongly believe that our product or service will help our customers and make a difference in their lives, but they may need an extra “oomph” to feel confident enough to buy. You may have had customers who stayed until the end of your webinar, talked with you at length on the phone and […] The post The Power of a Guarantee appeared first on Pam Hendrickson.

There’s nothing more welcoming than walking into a home and taking in the scent of freshly baked cookies, as any child—or realtor—will tell you. When preparing homes for a showing, realtors will do everything possible to make a good first impression, like repainting the front door, replacing the light fixtures or, yes, baking cookies. Some even go so far as to hire a string quartet to play in the living room or host a barbecue in the backyard! What these realtors understand is that first impressions are powerful, and details like scents and lighting can heavily influence a sale. And […] The post 5 Elements of Your Brand Impression appeared first on Pam Hendrickson.

I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my business, but when I look back, there’s one truly terrible screw up that stands out in my mind. I was working on a special promotion at Tony Robbins Companies, and although I had painstakingly planned everything out, there was one crucial detail that I had overlooked—and as a result, the entire campaign was about to be ruined. Worst of all, the customers weren’t going to get the products they ordered. I felt AWFUL. But instead of having a meltdown and giving up (which I was so close to doing), I came up […] The post 5 Steps for Dealing with Mistakes appeared first on Pam Hendrickson.

I hate to admit it, but I had my first job before the Internet was even around. We used to communicate with other departments in the company through something called an “interoffice envelope”—those old gold colored envelopes that you’d put your printed memo in, write down the name of the person and department you wanted to send it to, and then give to the mail person to deliver. To this day, I still have some “old school” habits in my business (as the Millennials on my team love to point out!). What I’ve discovered recently, however, is that sometimes going […] The post 3 Old School Strategies to Know and Serve Your Customer Well appeared first on Pam Hendrickson.

Which would you rather live without: your toothbrush or . . . your smartphone? If you had to think it over for a second, I get it! I often have to remind myself that I once survived without an iPhone! Clearly, we are so plugged in these days, constantly checking our email, reading articles and scrolling through our Facebook feeds. And as business owners, this provides us with a huge opportunity: to develop a relationship with potential customers through content. Content can either engage your audience and motivate them to invest in your products and services—or it can plummet to […] The post Have An Outcome! appeared first on Pam Hendrickson.

In the age of selfies and FOMO, one thing is clear: we crave experiences. We’ll shell out good money for airline and concert tickets, we’ll wait for over an hour to eat at the best new restaurant in town, and we’ll sleep in a freezing room on an ice bed for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. (Okay, so maybe that last one isn’t so common—but ice hotels ARE a thing!) These memorable experiences are what everyone is looking for today—and this includes your audience online. Engaging your customers and connecting with them on a meaningful level is the best way to create […] The post Engagement and Experience appeared first on Pam Hendrickson.

She is actually the person who interviewed me for my position with Tony Robbins, and was my first "big boss." Pam and I have spent many hours working and traveling together. We joke that we spent more time together during certain seasons than we did with our husbands! Pam worked for Tony Robbins for close to 20 years before going out on her own. Considering her experience with Robbins, she thought launching her first products would be easy, but she was wrong. In spite of the fact that the products were great, she made very few sales. The turning point for her was when she learned how to give her customers what they want, and in this episode, we dive in deep about how to do that. In this episode, here’s what we’ll cover: A key success principle for business What will cause your business to fail even if you have the best content in the world The necessary foundation for great marketing Common mistakes when defining a target market Tools for understanding your target market How to cultivate relationships Why technology will never replace face-to-face interactions And so much more! Key Takeaways A key to success in business is not being afraid to make mistakes Great content alone isn't enough. If it isn't want your customers need and want, it won't be successful. The foundation of our marketing comes from understanding who our target audience is, and creating all of products and services based around that. Ideal customer exercises are great, but they don't go deep enough. It's important to go beyond who and really dive deep into their pain points. Product creation and marketing are easy when you truly understand your audience. There are three primary areas to focus on: Tactical Relationships Emotional connection Tactical focuses on learning more about your audience. This is an ongoing process. In order to learn this information, you can conduct surveys, look at what your competition does to see what's working for them, and conduct market research using tools such as Keyword Spy and Ispionage. Relationships focuses on really getting to know your audience, and enable you to go deeper when it comes to truly understanding them and therefore really knowing how to meet their needs. A great example that Pam gave was that if you went to the gym and someone had you  fill out a survey, they would have a certain level of understanding about your needs. In contrast, if you went to the gym and spent time talking with the person exercising next to you, you would have a much deeper understanding. Emotional connection is when you really begin to FEEL what your audience feels. It goes deeper than having an intellectual understanding of their needs, and enables you to basically put yourself in their shoes so that you better understand them on an emotional level. This is the opposite of the tactical side of things because it focuses on feelings rather than facts. Action Steps For a week or two, spend ten minutes per day researching your target market using tools such as Keyword Spy, Eyespionage  and Pew Research. To help you build relationships with your audience, pick one or two live events to attend. The goal is to have an opportunity to connect face-to-face with your target audience. Set aside 20-30 minutes to get quiet and FEEL the problems and pains of your customers.
