POPULARITY
By Farnoosh Brock. I am Farnoosh Brock, the founder and president of Prolific Living, a company I started in 2011 after a long corporate career at a Fortune 100. I quit my job at Cisco when I realized that my contribution to the world lies in other gifts that I've been able to express through coaching, speaking, writing, and training. Together with my husband, Andy, we left the employee mindset behind and became full-time entrepreneurs and have never once looked back! I'm the author of 4 traditionally published books, 3 blogs, 1 podcast (The Daily Interaction Show), ebooks, and several programs on career advancement, mindset, and self-empowerment. I'm also a crazy avid yogi and a proud Intermittent Faster! On my foray into fasting: I've been extremely gifted with amazing health all my life, and maybe that's why I am obsessed with the idea of health, vitality, longevity, and fitness. I was big into juices & smoothies & healing drinks for years but as I entered my 40s, my body stopped responding to the old 'health tools' and my relationship with food became a love-hate and I felt so confused about how to stay vigilant & feel great. Fasting has truly healed all of that and more. Farnoosh. How to connect with Farnoosh.

Selling is draining. Selling is egocentric. Selling is manipulative. Many people have these negative associations with selling, and yet, they feel that it’s nonetheless an integral component to being successful, whether it is advancing themselves in their career or growing their business. But what if you didn’t need to sell to achieve your version of success? In this episode of Rise Regardless, Farnoosh Brock makes us privy to succeeding by eliminating the selling mindset. Instead? Adopt the serving mindset. Having felt compelled to leave her successful engineering career at a top tech company to pursue her greater purpose of helping others raise their impact, influence and income, Farnoosh made the audacious move knowing that she would accept only half the income she and her husband once had. In doing so, Farnoosh pursed purpose over paycheck and embraced the serving mindset along the way. More about Farnoosh: Farnoosh went from electrical engineer and rising leader at a Fortune 100 company to business coach, trainer, and speaker at Google, Fidelity Investments and others. She has helped many individuals and businesses adopt the mindset of serving over selling to build deep trust, meaningful customer relationships as well as sustainable profits. In addition to her latest book, The Serving Mindset: Stop Selling and Grow Your Business, she is the author of the author of three health books as well as the creator of Crack the Code to Get Promoted - a leadership & career advancement course for corporate professionals.

What can I say? It kind of felt like I had my kindred spirit on the podcast, or my name twin at the very least. Farnoosh Brock, author of The Serving Mindset: Stop Selling and Grow Your Business, is on the show today sharing some deep insightful revelations about what it means to lead a fulfilling life as an entrepreneur. Farnoosh left a career, a successful career in engineering to pursue a path in entrepreneurship. It wasn’t one that was met with a lot of support at the beginning, but she made it work. And how she made it work is truly, truly inspiring. Farnoosh lives by the mantra: "Serving is your competitive advantage," and she believes that if entrepreneurs focus on serving, instead of selling, they can learn how to feel good about the whole selling process and even ask for more money from their clients and customers. If you’re somebody who is looking at a start a business, or even a side hustle...and you want to be able to make the big bucks, Farnoosh has some really honest authentic advice.

We talk with Farnoosh Brock about how to focus on genuine serving, to go from your own agenda to a priority on trust and relationships, and to create the outcomes you desire for your small business or company. Farnoosh Brock went from electrical engineer and project manager at a Fortune 100 to business coach, entrepreneur and CEO of Prolific Living Inc. She shows business owners and leaders why and how to choose serving over selling to build profitable sustainable businesses. In addition to The Serving Mindset: Stop Selling and Grow Your Business (2018), she’s also the author of The Healthy Juicer's Bible (2013) and The Healthy Smoothie Bible (2014), as well as The Big Book of Healing Drinks (2019).

Diva Tech Talk hosted engineer, tech expert, author and leadership coach, Farnoosh Brock, who shared lessons in personal development and career pivots. Having completed her master’s degree in electrical engineering at Clemson University (www.clemson.edu) , Farnoosh first worked as a design engineer at Atmel Corporation (http://www.atmel.com/), before joining Cisco (www.cisco.com), where she worked for 11 years. In addition to engineering, “I had the opportunity to move around, in other roles, such as sales operations, project management, program management. I got a lot of experience and am really grateful for that.” Eight years into building her Cisco career, Farnoosh began to feel restless. “I stumbled on my passion for writing,” she said. That led to blogging and to podcasting. The light bulb went off when she attended a blogging conference in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2010. “That changed everything.” Coming home, she decided “to take my hobby seriously, and turn it into a ‘side hustle’ with no impact to my career.” She started her first newsletter; and she immersed herself into studying how to run a business, which was “something I absolutely fell in love with.” After that, “there was no looking back. Eventually she consolidated her writing and coaching under Prolific Living. Much of the material is meant to inspire entrepreneurship, empower startups, and stretch human potential. Farnoosh emphasized that “if you feel you have an itch to do something, that has nothing to do with your career, and it is a strong urge, I recommend you follow that.” She said that a key to being successful in starting a new endeavor is to “have one person in your life who believes in you, unconditionally, other than yourself.” To select a coach, Farnoosh said ask yourself “how do I learn best” and ascertain what you need in terms of your strategy, your current weaknesses/strengths and the style that will help you grow, and reach your next level. Farnoosh centers much of her coaching around “positioning yourself powerfully” with some simple tips: “You are not selling; you are serving.” “Connect the dots from your work to the bottom line effect.” “Create a circle of influence around you.” Ensure that you begin with a positive picture of yourself and your strong contributions to your work and mission. “Know your ‘blind spots.’ When necessary, make the right adjustments.” Above all: “Cultivate trust, every day. The more trust you have the more powerful your position will be as a colleague, as a leader.” The universal conundrum is that “Most of us already do a good job,” Farnoosh said. “But, how do we tell our boss, and others, where we want to go?” By being able to position ourselves powerfully, she asserted, we smooth our own journeys, and accrue the strength to forge our own unique paths. Discussing gender inequality in the technical field, Farnoosh also shared that sometimes “you see it where it may not exist.” Her counsel, for women, is “be curious, not defensive.” She firmly believes that “trust is one of the main foundations” of successful careers, and women can be agents of change if they can learn to simply keep open, curious attitudes when encountering perceived discrimination. Farnoosh recommends the audio version of widely-acclaimed Dr. Stephen Covey’s timeless Seven Habits of Highly Effective People as highly useful for our audience. In closing her last words of wisdom included “slow down; take care of your body; don’t sacrifice family or personal relationships for career.” And finally, “trust yourself more. You do have the answers. You know the right decisions. Use both your heart and mind. Trust that it will all work out.” For the full blog write up, make sure to check us out on online at www.divatechtalk.com, on Twitter @divatechtalks, and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/divatechtalk.

Farnoosh Brock started her own company, Prolific Living Inc., to fulfill her diverse entrepreneurial passions. As an author, speaker and business coach, she helps business owners and executives achieve new heights of leadership and success. In her spare time, Farnoosh loves traveling extensively with her husband and business partner, Andy Brock and stays devoted to her daily Ashtanga yoga practice.Farnoosh on Clarity:Farnoosh believes that the first step to starting anew is CLARITY.''If you are clear on what it is that you need to create for yourself and WHY, then few things can get in your way.''While clarity is paramount, she recognizes that it is not easy to find it. Here is an exercise she recommends to get clear on your personal vision:Make a list of all the things in your life you don't want and why you don't want them. Aim for 30 items on your list.Then rank them in order of how badly you want to get rid of them. You will start to see the top few things that are non-negotiable. For Farnoosh, she realized that she didn't want to have a boss and it was non-negotiable for her.What is your non-negotiable?She further clarifies that while lack of confidence sometimes hinders our progress, what often holds us back from starting something new is not knowing what we want or how to get there.''Lack of confidence doesn't hold us back so much, I think its lack of clarity.''Speaking of clarity, download your FREE Self-Awareness toolkit to help you get clear on who you are and what you want in life.Farnoosh on Fear of being Judged:I am fascinated with the psychology of confidence (recommend The Code of Confidence ) and the more I read and observe, the more I realize that women in general battle with self-confidence more so than men. I will go into more details in another post but I wanted to know Farnoosh's take on it. As a woman, she has sympathy for our kind, for our fear of being judged. She suggests that whenever we are feeling the grip of fear of failure or fear of being judged, we just stop! We allow ourselves time to stop and think about what is the worst that could happen. Once we embrace our fears, they don't hold us back anymore. She admits however that this issue and its solution is not so black and white.

Freedom in your career and freedom in your health. Freedom in a sustainable, lasting and true to your essence kinda way.
Today I am talking to Farnoosh Brock. I've been following her online since few tears already. Farnoosh is an inspiring online entrepreneur. She quit her 6 figure job and now is the passionate founder and president of Prolific Living. She has also been published by a major publishing house - twice! Farnoosh Brock's Story Farnoosh had a long 11+ years corporate career. She had everything you could imagine for a perfect dream corporate job. But she wasn't happy. She was looking for something that would fulfill her. She was looking for distractions to keep her busy - so Farnoosh started blogging. And blogging took off for her. Maybe that's because Farnoosh was passionate writer. For several years Farnoosh's blog was a hobby, but it grew with the time and more it grew more she was interested in blogging and less interested in her corporate job. In 2010 Farnoosh attended the bloggers conference the Blogworld event in Las Vegas. At that conference I saw people, who have turned their online blog into a full time business. She came back home from there and started looking at her blog as business. She started her newsletter, thought about launching her first product and write her first book - Writing Manifesto. She gave it away to her readers, but it did not do well because they were coming to her blog for personal development. At that point Farnoosh was assigned a project she did not want to work on. She also felt so unhappy at work. That is why Farnoosh resigned. 2 years after that she even hired her husband to come on board and together they are running their online business now. The Entrepreneurial Journey Farnoosh told: "My company was my identity – my corporate job. Not a minute of this three years I have regretted my decision. Have I missed anything – anything at all. I’ve almost forgotten that I was part of that corporation. This is so the right thing for me. There has never been that looking back and thinking that I should have staid – ever! There’s leaving where you’ve been miserable and there’s arriving to that next place. And that has been very difficult. Even before the publishing deal came, I was self-publishing my own books and creating my own products. There have been products which did not do well. In fact the very first product I was in love with myself it didn’t do well at all and it was too hard to come to terms with that. And it’s so necessary – it has to happen. You have to fail and to deal with it. And to learn from it and to see that it’s part of the process. You just don’t quit something and jump to a series of success. It does not happen that way to anyone. Everyone that you admire has had struggles. It was a shift to being very much on your own. It is a lonely journey – so you have to create opportunity to connect. You have to be part of mastermind, support communities, etc that will help you. The one thing that helped me get me through was the support of my husband. When you see online entrepreneurs, writers, bloggers – the people who are really successful, they get help. They hire mentors, they hire coaches. They invest in themselves, they put money on the table. Be willing to invest in yourself. There is no secret formula. You just have to follow the road. If this is your road you have to take it." How did Faroosh get traditional publishing deal Farnoosh said: "At first I published 5 self-published non-fiction books on Kindle. Most successful book on Kindle store was the green juicing guide. It was selling 100s of copies a month at $9.99. You plan your entrepreneurship journey and something completely different happens. So that success was quite unexpected. That book was actually how traditional publishers found us. They contacted us. At first they refused. When they came and persisted and we agreed to write a new book. It was…. And I had only 6 weeks to write that book, which by now have sold around 30k copies. Self-publishing opens doors of opportunities. When you publish on Kindle store and get natural readers and good reviews publishers come to you. Being traditionally published was not about money – it was about the credibility, which still comes when you have a traditionally published book. If you have not published take your opportunity to publish using self-publishing. Otherwise you are wasting your time. Your book has to come out today for your readers. If you are writing to be read as opposed to be published by fancy publisher then you have to publish." Self-publishing vs Traditional publishing Farnoosh told: "For us both – self publishing route and the traditional publishing route have been successful. The reason we had the 2nd deal from the traditional publisher was because we worked with them as equal partners. When the book was handed over for editing I started working on the marketing to help them sell the book. I used my platform online to promote my book. The distribution power of the traditional publishers is so much bigger. Many people who otherwise would never see your book otherwise. It can be a lead generation for you. Self publishing has given us the opportunity – it has opened a door. For every book it’s different, for every person it’s different. The first door you can have absolute control on is the Kindle door. If you don’t have a literary agent or traditional publisher then self publish on Amazon and do your best to promote the book." Book Marketing Ideas Farnoosh implemented We decided to do a book trailer and put that up on a page and linked to all the places the book was selling at. We worked together with the publicist. I was offered free copies. I tapped into my network and send individual e-mails. They said yes, we sent out the books and I followed up. And we got media coverage. Barnes and Nobles had us make smoothies in the bookstores. They let me sell my books there. I put together a media kit for the book. Making super easy for people who were willing to promote the book. (you can access the media kit Farnoosh created by clicking here). Using non-standard creative approach Advise from Farnoosh to all those who want to succeed A year from now you will wish you had started today! Just start now! Whatever you focus on – grows! Focus on 1 thing but don’t give up on all other dreams and work them in at some point later. Deadlines are great motivators. Set deadlines and get accountability partners. Practice daily writing.

Juicing Simplified w/Farnoosh Brock & We’re Taking You On Vacation! Be sure to subscribe in iTunes and leave a review in the iTunes store! It helps others find the show! Thanks! Dan and Vanessa Topic: Just a Few Travel Tips From The Road....Literally! Well, if the show sounds a bit different it’s because we’re on the road. That’s right, we’re taking you on vacation! It’s actually a “working trip” for us. We’ve never recorded on the road (we literally recorded our segment in the car). The sound quality is just a bit off from our normal audio but not bad considering the circumstances! The interview however is excellent! Just sayin.... Anyhoos...typically when we have a guest interview we do a combined topic. Since we want you to enjoy the entire interview, we decided to do a shorter segment for our topic. Additionally, when we know we are going to be out of town for a week, we try to record an episode in advance. Well, we ended up having such a busy week with clients leading up to our trip, that we simply ran short of time to prepare two episodes in only 3 days! It may not seem like a lot of work but each episode takes at least 16 hours to prep, record, edit in post-productions, post show notes, post in iTunes, etc. We are still on our journey to simplify this process...believe us we are! Thankfully it is a labor of love...truly!!!! So, speaking of simplifying and in keeping with our philosophy on most things in life...we decided to keep our segment...well, you know...simple. And since we're on a road trip we decided to share a few travel tips with you. Here are the things we discussed: How we were able to pack 9 days of clothes for 3 people in just one piece of luggage. How we make sure we never run out of outlets to charge our ever so precious gadgets by using a Belkin Mini Surge Protector with USB Charger. How to easily travel with electronics using the Grid-It system by Cocoon. How to ensure you'll actually get to listen to your podcasts even when the 4G network gets 'patchy.' How bringing our little Apple TV replaced old school slide projectors to enjoy family slideshows and videos! Interview with Farnoosh Brock of Prolific Living and her newly released book, The Healthy Juicer's Bible. We've mentioned on the show before that we like to juice. We started juicing a little over a year ago in December of 2011 after Dan was completely and totally inspired by Joe Cross’s film, Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead (this is an Amazon affiliate link but the movie is available for free on Netflix if you're a member) which he saw on Netflix over 20 times since. Dan decided to try juicing and Vanessa decided to jump on board too and we've been hooked ever since. So, we thought it would be great to invite Farnoosh Brock (a friend we met at the World Domination Summit in 2011) who just published and released her new book, The Healthy Juicer's Bible. It was released by Skyhorse Publishing and is selling out everywhere! Farnoosh is amazing, talented and a such a delight to talk with. We think you'll really love the interview! Here are some of the questions we asked! 1. So Farnoosh, who are you and how do you make people's lives simpler? 2. Do you remember your first fresh juice? If you can, tell us where and when that was, and what went through your mind before you drank it? 3. When we talk about juicing, one of the first questions we're asked is what's the difference between juices and smoothies, or juicing and blending. How would you answer that? 4. So Farnoosh, what would you list as some of the benefits of juicing? 5. How do you recommend people get started with juicing? 6. Dan's been a member of your Green Juicing Clinic for almost a year now…since the start...and I love it! Tell us how you came up with that concept and a bit about the clinic. 7. That leads us to your brand new and beautiful book "The Healthy Juicer's Bible." We love this little book!
