In this episode, I share something that's been unfolding for a long time beneath the surface… and is now ready to be spoken out loud. What started as a subtle shift in my energy became a complete rewrite of how I approach my work, how I create clients, and how I relate to the people in my field. I tell the story of a vision that was spoken over me by my friend Lisa Vandenberg—one that completely changed how I see relationships, service, and sacred timing. From that moment, I knew I could no longer operate from funnels or pipelines. What emerged instead was what I now call The Cart Relationship Map. I also share a powerful moment when I invited my Higher Self to speak directly to my dear friend Ray Edwards. What came through was not rehearsed. It wasn't polished. It was raw, real, and full of truth. A transmission, not a performance. And finally, I share something that surprised even me: a song. It's called “This Is Not A Business—This Is Devotion.” It poured through in the stillness that followed everything I had spoken. It's not content. It's a prayer. If you've ever felt called to stop striving, to stop contorting yourself to fit into what the world expects, and instead build your business from presence, from remembrance, and from the deepest truth within you… This episode is for you.

How many times have you gotten to the meeting but your pitch fell flat? You went in guns blazing, thinking the hard part was over and you'd land the deal—but instead you face-planted. It's not your product or your pricing. It's your messaging that's failing you—and blocking you from a sale. A Framework to Tap Into Your Prospect's Pain So what's missing?  A framework that actually speaks to your prospect's pain, builds urgency, and moves them toward a ‘yes.'  As The Sales Gravy Podcast guest Mike Malloy points out, the PASTOR messaging method can solve that disconnect. You tap into your customer's pain points and you close. The PASTOR Method Created by renowned copywriter Ray Edwards, the word “PASTOR' is about guiding your prospect through the process with messaging that grabs attention and prompts action. As a salesperson, you lead your potential client toward a solution. True sales relationships aren't forced—it's natural and authentic. You're not stereotypically pushy or desperate. You have the magic answer to a customer's problem. Think of it like leading a prospect down a sales path where they see the problem clearly, understand the solution, and feel confident saying ‘YES' to a deal. P - Problem & Pain An eventual ‘Yes' stems from pain—pain from stalled business, lost revenue, or missed quotas. Until you unearth the problem, there's no need for you or your solution. Translation: No sale. Your job is to identify the pain point and get your prospect to acknowledge that, yeah, it's ruining their business, too. Don't gloss over the pain—lean into it. Show you understand. Your understanding will connect with the customer and start building your relationship—a relationship that leads to closing. A - Amplify the Consequences Don't be afraid to twist the knife. This isn't just a little problem. It's debilitating. It's costing the customer time and money. It's a huge pain point. What will the prospect's life be next quarter, next year, if they don't solve it this minute? How much worse will it get? Fear of loss is a powerful motivator. Prospects need to feel the urgency to fix the problem now. S - Story, Solution, System This is where you offer the solution—but don't just drop a pitch. Tell a story.  Give your prospect an example that they can hold on to and that helps them connect.  Tom's sales team was floundering. They couldn't make quota. Then they found our [your service]. Jill's company needed a new distributor. Her current distributor was often late, goods were damaged and it was hurting her bottom line. Then she learned about [your service]. Make it clear that hiring you isn't just smart—it's the game-changer they've been looking for. Show them you get it. Lay out a clear, systematic solution that wipes out their pain—once they see you've got the answer, the deal's as good as closed. T - Transformation & Testimony And what does it look like when all that pain goes away? Paint the picture. You highlighted all the real and future pain not hiring you would cause. Now, tell your prospect what life will be like after they embrace your solution. People don't buy products—they buy results. They need to see exactly how they'll save time, make money, and come out ahead. Show them the win, and they'll say yes. This is also where you leverage testimonials to build credibility. Personal accounts from past customers who can bolster your position. When they believe others have succeeded, they'll trust they can too. They'll be signing with you before you know it. O - Offer Your offer isn't just about price—it's about making the value so clear that saying 'no' feels like a mistake. Remove any friction to the deal by emphasizing the ease of transition and fast onboarding. Your offer needs to entice with solid, actionable steps to cutting out their pain points. There's no room for waffling here. Outline the ROI clearly and make it simple, easy,

I've known this week's guest for many years...Long enough to have seen her go from financial struggle, to now having a day's revenue that surpasses what used to be her annual income. How did she do it? One of the big "secrets" involves a struggle that I see in nearly every class I teach, or mastermind I participate in: Facing the fear of "high-ticket offers". Most people seem to have settled on an arbitrary number that defines the value of their product or service as they see it. Any significant amount above that number seems impossible. They'll sell products for less than a hundred bucks with the hopes of maybe selling something special for $500 (or whatever arbitrary number they have chosen). Anything higher than their magic number causes panic. I can almost hear the objections: "But Ray, I don't have anything that I could offer for more than $500. That's a primo price for me." That's what you have decided, but Anita has some ideas that may change your mind. Key Insights When a medical emergency put the primary earner out of commission, Anita had to make a change​ Understand the value ladder, prioritize high ticket offers, and focus on delivering results to attract high ticket clients and build a successful business (pretty much the inverse of what most people are doing) Hard work isn't the key to making more (thank God...we only have so many hours in a day) Understand the 4 levels of wealth Focus on level three and level four activities for wealth creation, create high ticket offers, have fun in business, and understand terminology in online communities to maximize success and avoid financial issues Focus on serving your past self, acknowledge progress, invest in self-education, surround yourself with high-level thinkers for personal and business growth Learn how to target millionaires, create high ticket offers, and attract the right buyers to build a successful business and attract clients with higher expectations.

In this episode, we celebrate the 200th episode of the podcast/show. Initially, the host had planned on offering live coaching sessions but unfortunately, no one signed up. This leads the host to reflect on what this lack of sign-ups means and how he can self-coach himself through this situation. He recognizes that berating himself or blaming others won't solve the problem and instead focuses on shifting his thoughts and approaching the situation with intentionality. Throughout the episode, the host shares his disappointment but also emphasizes the importance of learning from setbacks. The host ponders why no one signed up for the coaching and expresses a desire to improve and overcome such challenges in the future. The host starts by reflecting on why he hasn't been able to capture people's attention and mentions that he is currently listening to Robert Cialdini's book "Influence" to learn about ethical influence. He admits feeling disappointed and acknowledges that he let himself down by not learning the necessary lessons to attract people. Despite this setback, he remains determined to offer live coaching sessions in the future, approximately every 10 episodes. To process his feelings of being let down, the host decides to do a thought download. He explores the circumstance of nobody signing up for coaching and acknowledges that this thought might mean he needs to improve his communication skills or that he may not be a good coach. He also realizes the need to improve his advertising on Facebook and start promoting earlier to generate more trust from potential clients. The host understands the importance of learning from mistakes and generating more thoughts to gain a better understanding of his emotions. The host then moves on to using a model to process his thoughts and emotions. He explains the model and how it can be applied to any circumstance. The circumstance he chooses is that nobody showed up for coaching. The next step is to choose one thought to focus on, such as "I am not a good marketer," and examine the feeling that thought generates. The host introduces an app called "How We Feel" that helps break down emotions into four quadrants. The host realizes that the emotion that resonates with him the most is frustration. He discusses how frustration can lead to negative actions, such as wanting to quit or engaging in negative self-talk. The host emphasizes that engaging in negative self-talk or quitting won't lead to success in his business. He acknowledges that the problem lies in his thoughts and beliefs and the need to change them to gain control over his emotions and direction in life. He encourages embracing emotions, sitting with them, and fully experiencing them instead of avoiding them. Through exploring his frustration, the host describes how it feels in his body and acknowledges that emotions only last for a short time. He stresses the importance of questioning the truth and usefulness of thoughts and choosing better ones. For example, reframing the thought "I'm not a good marketer" as "I am an inexperienced marketer" and focusing on learning and growth. The host shares his desire to become a successful marketer and mentions a podcast by Ray Edwards that he highly recommends. He expresses his resolve to take action and start coaching others, using this podcast as a way to coach listeners. While no one has signed up for coaching yet, the host believes it will happen and he will become a great marketer through practice and learning. He discusses the importance of selling ideas and effective communication, particularly in relationships, and reflects on his experiences in coaching both men and women. The host also mentions the importance of finding the balance between promoting and overwhelming the audience and acknowledges the need for improvement in his marketing strategies. The host concludes the episode by expressing gratitude to the listeners for tuning in to the special 200th episode. He encourages them to leave comments on the website and share their thoughts. He emphasizes that his purpose is to help listeners overcome challenges and improve themselves as men. The host reminds listeners to take intentional steps towards having better relationships and offers his coaching services in the future. He reassures listeners that even as a coach, he still has emotional reactions but chooses not to respond to them. He believes that true freedom and joy can be found through intentional thoughts and navigating life's highs and lows. The episode concludes with the host expressing his gratitude once again and his hope to see listeners in 10 weeks for more coaching.

"What can I do today that my future self will thank me for 20 years from now?"— Ray Edwards In this episode of "Come Rain or Shine," I have an incredible conversation with Ray Edwards, a renowned copywriter and author. Ray opens up about his journey that has been filled with both success and setbacks. His resilience in the face of adversity is truly inspiring. Throughout our conversation, Ray shares about his career successes, lifechanging medical news, his latest book, and the valuable lessons he has learned along the way. Ray's passion for radio broadcasting began at a young age and ultimately led him to a successful career spanning over 30 years. However, he made a pivotal decision to transition into the world of copywriting online. With the ability to harness the power of words and persuasion, Ray became highly sought after and worked with influential figures like Tony Robbins and Jack Canfield. In 2011, Ray received a life-altering diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Initially keeping it hidden, he eventually had to face the reality and challenges it presented. As his health declined rapidly during the pandemic, Ray found himself in a dark place, questioning his beliefs and struggling to find solace in the methods that had once motivated him. It was during this low point that Ray made a profound decision to change his perspective and take ownership of his circumstances. He realized that reality couldn't be altered, but his response to it could. Drawing on his expertise as a copywriter, he wrote a sales letter to himself titled, "Read this or die a failure." This powerful letter became a catalyst for Ray's personal transformation. Throughout our conversation, Ray emphasized the importance of reevaluating our beliefs and finding better ones when faced with adversity. He challenged the conventional sources of motivation that had failed him and encouraged listeners to seek meaningful change within themselves. Ray notes that true transformation occurs when we change our response to circumstances rather than trying to change the circumstances themselves. Ray Edward's story is one of resilience, introspection, and personal growth. His ability to turn his darkest moments into opportunities for self-reflection and change is truly remarkable. His latest book, "Read this or Die," encapsulates his journey and serves as an inspiring call-to-action for those facing their own trials.

"Often it's up to you to make the decision that changes your own life." Ray Edwards was a copywriter and marketer at the top of his game. But in 2011, his life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. As the disease progressed, he found himself in constant pain, unable to walk, and even contemplating suicide. Despite trying various treatments, nothing seemed to work. After much reflection he found himself considering that key to living well, even with his circumstances, was to change his mindset. He realized that he had the power within himself to change his mindset and live a fulfilling life despite his diagnosis. Drawing upon his skills as a persuader, Ray crafted a raw, compelling sales letter to himself, outlining the reasons to live and the purpose he could find in his life. The letter was the catalyst for him to undergo a transformative brain surgery called Deep Brain Stimulation. The surgery improved his symptoms significantly, and he was able to once again enjoy life. Ray's story serves as a powerful testament to the importance of living with intention and finding purpose in even the most challenging situations. Intentional living can transform even the most challenging situations. Take a listen to our conversation to get a glimpse into how he guides others on their own journey to live a meaningful life aligned with their values.

Welcome back to another powerful episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show. In this episode, I had the great privilege of sitting down with my dear friend, Ray Edwards, to discuss his newest book, "Read This Or Die." Ray's book, as the title might suggest, is not just an ordinary read – it's a life-changing guide that alters how you perceive your world. This is a book about revolutionizing your life by harnessing the power of words, and making use of the transformative tools already at your disposal. Ray's belief is simple yet profound: Everything you need to transform your life is available to you right now. The catch is, few people can make these changes, not due to a lack of desire, but because of a lack of understanding. In his book, Ray opens up about how to initiate these changes, and how you can convince yourself of the need to change. Ray also opened up about his fight with Parkinson's, his belief in a better future, and how, paradoxically, this belief was holding him back from living his life fully in the present moment. In our conversation, we delved deep into Ray's journey, discussing the time when he had hit rock bottom, even contemplating ending his life. We talked about how he wrestled with an increasingly worsening condition, his frustrations, and the intense pain he felt. It's heart-wrenching, but crucial to understanding the wisdom he shares in his book. One of the most exciting parts of our discussion centered on a miraculous turnaround that happened in Ray's life – an event that took place four months after he finished the manuscript for his book. I won't spoil the surprise for you here. You'll have to tune into the episode to hear this remarkable story. Ray's book offers profound insights that will help you let go of your old beliefs, embrace change, and navigate the journey to a better life. The real transformation begins when we face the beliefs that created our present reality, and Ray's book provides the roadmap for this. I can't stress enough how impactful "Read This Or Die" is. If you're ready to write a new chapter in your life, this book is your guide. I encourage you to grab a copy at http://ReadThisOrDieBook.com. I'm excited for you to listen to this episode and start your own journey of transformation. As always, thank you for tuning into The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.

In this deeply insightful podcast episode, my best friend Ray Edwards and I explore the life-changing principles found in Don Miguel Ruiz's book, "The Four Agreements." We share our personal experiences with these powerful agreements, discussing how they have impacted our lives, especially during challenging moments. We dive into each of the Four Agreements, sharing anecdotes and perspectives on how to be impeccable with our word, not take things personally, not make assumptions, and always do our best. We also cover a "Fifth Agreement," emphasizing the importance of being skeptical while also listening with an open mind. These agreements have had a profound and positive impact on both our lives, helping us navigate the complexities of the world around us. Throughout the episode, we discuss the importance of recognizing our own belief systems and understanding the collective dream of society. We explore how we can break free from the limiting beliefs and agreements we have made with ourselves to create a more fulfilling and authentic life. This engaging conversation is a testament to the transformative power of the Four Agreements. We hope that you will be inspired to apply these principles to your own life, opening the door to personal growth and a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. Note: At the very end of this episode, I added a very personal update about my own journey of spiritual growth and how my beliefs have evolved over the past three and a half years. After reading the Autobiography of a Yogi in 2020, I felt compelled to explore various spiritual paths and have spent countless hours learning from Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, Muslim, Shaman, Druid and many other ancient teachings. I still consider myself a follower of Christ, yet I do understand that my evolving beliefs may cause some listeners to unsubscribe or distance themselves from me, but I want you to know that I don't judge or take it personally. In fact, I respect those who follow their own path in alignment with their beliefs. I've felt a nudge in my heart to authentically share my journey with you, particularly if you're also seeking a broader understanding of God and spirituality, as it relates to your personal and professional growth, what you want to create in this world, and ultimately living the life you feel most called to live. As a result of my spiritual growth, my coaching practice has become more diverse, with clients from various religious backgrounds, including fundamentalist Christians (my background for the first 47 years of my life), Orthodox Jews, Buddhists, and even atheists. In all instances, I've witnessed true miracles take place and I've been able to incorporate tools and techniques that are respectful of each client's beliefs without there being any need to deconstruct their personal beliefs about God. I want to invite you to connect with me further, whether it's through one-on-one coaching, the Next Level Mastermind, an online course, or attending the Free the Dream Workshop. Head over to my website to explore these opportunities, and let's continue our personal and professional growth journeys together, with a strong emphasis on mindset development. Please note that in this season of my professional life, I work mostly with full-time self-employed business owners, entrepreneurs, coaches, authors, speakers, digital creators, and those who are wanting to create this self-employed and/or business ownership lifestyle. As we work together on your personal and business growth, if you're interested in discussing our spiritual lives, I am more than happy to do so. I can either work within your current system of beliefs or we can explore and expand our beliefs together, but only if desired. The choice is yours, and I'm here to support you in whichever path you choose. Are you looking to drive growth and increase the visibility of your business?

Harnessing Equanimity to Conquer Borderline Business Burnout Business burnout is an all-too-common occurrence for many entrepreneurs and business owners. It's a state of exhaustion, stress, and frustration that can lead to decreased productivity and the inability to stay focused and motivated. If not dealt with, physical and mental health problems can manifest.​ I know what it feels like to experience business burnout. I've been there, done that, and have almost died from it. It's a crushing feeling knowing that you've put in every ounce of time, effort and energy that you have to offer into something, only to feel like you are spinning your wheels and not getting very far.​ My two week trip to the hospital, in January 2009, was a wake-up call for me to realize that taking on too much and pushing yourself too hard can have severe consequences.​ As I look back on my life, I realize that I didn't need to work harder, I simply needed a better state of mind to work from. We all have moments when we feel overwhelmed and it can be hard to find a way out of it. Stress can be a powerful force that can be difficult to break out of. When we're stuck in a cycle of stress and anxiety, it can seem logical to just keep pushing and trying to work harder, rather than taking the time to step back and reset our state of mind. The Power of Equanimity​ I hosted a live stream with my great friend, Ray Edwards, where we had a deep conversation about "the power of equanimity." Equanimity is the ability to remain calm, composed, and balanced in the face of life's challenges. It's an essential quality to cultivate, especially in times of uncertainty and difficulty. In our conversation, Ray and I discussed the difference between our knee-jerk emotional reactions and our rational responses to the issues that we face.​ If we master the skill of equanimity, we will have what it takes to navigate the tumultuous waters of life and business with grace and wisdom.​ This podcast episode contains this powerful conversation. The day after this podcast episode was published, the following email came in: Hi Cliff & RayJust wanting to genuinely thank you both for sharing the truly inspiring conversation you had in episode 692 of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.I woke up at 4 am (a bit disrupted sleep schedule while battling through covid) and listened to your conversation and reflected upon my own life.The nuggets of refined wisdom you both distilled in that conversation are pure gold.I stopped the episode, got up from my bed, made a cup of coffee and started manually transcribing each and every word you said in that episode.I am now looking at these notes and am amazed how dense they are and much insight I am getting for my own life.I sense that I've only started and will go over these notes many times in the days to come.Anyway, a honest thank you to you both for having and sharing that inspiring conversation!BestYours trulyName Removed If you've ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and stuck in the cycle of business burnout, I urge you to listen to this episode today.
