Culture Is What You TolerateIn this episode of BusinessIsGood, I give full credit to Keith Cunningham, author of The Road Less Stupid, for one of the clearest insights I've ever heard about culture:“Culture is what you tolerate.”It's not about nap rooms, Red Bull in the fridge, or inspirational posters. Culture is shaped by what we allow, what we ignore, and how we interact with each other—especially when things get uncomfortable.Here's what I cover:Why most companies unintentionally build a culture of mediocrityHow to tell if your “rules” are just suggestionsThe real drivers of culture: accountability, clarity, consistencyWhy culture is built one relationship at a time—not between people and “the business”What to do about that top performer who's killing your cultureThis episode will help you reframe what culture actually is—and give you the tools to rebuild it from the inside out.Connect with Chris Cooper:Website - https://businessisgood.com/

There are times when you run out of time. When the time crunch hits, how do you consistently publish your podcast each week? I RAN OUT OF TIME My calendar got tight this week. Recording and publishing this episode became a challenge. I typically record my podcast on Saturdays. On Tuesday we have our Podcast Profits Accelerator calls. Most of my coaching calls are on Thursdays. This week, we suddenly had visitors coming to town. Then, I had some last minute travel come up. Next thing I know, I'm running out of time to get everything done. It takes creativity when you run out of time. We moved the Podcast Profits Accelerator call to Thursday. My mastermind changed to Saturday. Luckily, one of my clients moved a couple days as well. Those moves freed up time time to get business done. But what happens with the podcast episode? I still need to publish that. When you run out of time, there are a few ways to still publish an episode. WHO CAN HELP The first thing you can do is find someone who can help you. I recently read The Road Less Stupid by Keith J. Cunningham. In the book, Cunningham talks about being more productive by doing only the things in your circle of genius. Delegate everything else. YOUR PRESENTATIONS To create an episode, what content can you repurpose? Presentations you've given to other groups can make good content. Gary Vaynerchuk often uses his keynote speeches for podcast episodes. Alex Hormozi will use recordings of his q&a sessions for episodes. I've done "ask me anything" sessions on Facebook and used those as podcast episodes. SUMMIT INTERVIEWS When you run out of time, summit interviews make great podcast content. I hold two summits each year. During that summit, I interview 23 different experts. Those interviews become podcast episodes. People can attend the summit and get all of the content plus ask questions. Or they can wait while the content drips out over time. With nearly two dozen interviews, I have almost half a year of content to use as necessary. PLAN AHEAD Planning ahead helps you avoid running out of time. Work a week ahead. When you run out of time, you already have the episode recorded for this week. Get ahead of the game. You can also record an emergency episode. This is an evergreen episode you use in case you have nothing else. GUEST HOST One solution few consider when they run out of time is a guest host. Find another expert in your niche who complements what you do. Ask them to host your episode this week. You can also share an episode from other podcast to expose their show to your audience. You would simply record an intro and explain. OTHER INTERVIEWS Have you been interviewed on other podcasts? You can use those interviews when you run out of time. You've shared great content with other hosts. Surely your audience would benefit from those conversations. Use one of those interviews as an episode of your show. PICK ONE Those are six solutions you can use when you run out of time and can't find room in the schedule to record a new episode.   If you don't have a mentor who can take your hand and walk you every step of the way, go to www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/apply, click the button and apply to have a chat with me. We will develop your plan and see how I can help and support you to achieve your podcast goals.

In this episode, Robin shares the importance of strategic partnerships, focusing on marketing assets with long-term impact, and prioritizing health and meaningful work. His insights on pricing strategies—such as raising rates dramatically to attract better clients—are eye-opening and actionable for any business leader.

On this 240th episode of my Monday Morning Pep Talk, I will dive into the power of scheduling time with yourself to think. Keith Cunningham brought "Thinking Sessions" to the forefront for me in his 2018 book "The Road Less Stupid". They have since been an incredibly important part of my daily weekly routines since I first read the book in 2021. On this episode, I'll share with you how you can use thinking sessions to solve the biggest challenges you face in your life and in your business.

In this episode, Dan and Ian discuss the credible and reliable ways to build wealth through your business, based on the work of author Keith Cunningham. The conversation emphasizes building a financially sound foundation for your business by understanding and applying financial principles, planning effectively, managing risks, and maintaining financial discipline. As Cunningham says, "Building a business without mastering the financial statements is like building a house on the beach. It's not if the tide will come in, it's when. And the tide always comes in." Enjoy this week's episode as you consider how to build a durable business for long-term success!

Laura tells us how she worked hard to achieve her dreams even when she got really sick. She explains "Wonder Hell" as the feeling you get when you've succeeded but also feel scared and unsure about what comes next. Laura's story shows that facing big challenges and still going after what you want can lead to exciting changes and growth.Laura and Alex also discuss the importance of having positive people around you and being okay with feeling uncomfortable sometimes.

This talk is like a guide for anyone trying to figure out how to deal with their own "Wonder Hell" moments, reminding us that it's normal to feel scared but also that these moments can push us to do great things.Wisdom NuggetsEmbracing the Ambiguity of Success: It's crucial to understand that achieving one's goals often leads to a mix of emotions, including both triumph and fear. This duality, known as "Wonder Hell," is a natural part of the journey towards greatness. Accepting and navigating through this complex emotional landscape is key to personal growth and continuous achievement.Cultivating Resilience Through Challenges: Overcoming obstacles, especially those as daunting as serious health issues or personal setbacks, teaches invaluable lessons in resilience. These experiences underscore the importance of pushing forward, even when the path seems unclear, reinforcing the belief that action beats stagnation every time.The Power of Positive Influence: Surrounding oneself with supportive, ambitious, and positive individuals can significantly impact one's ability to pursue and achieve ambitious goals. This network serves as a foundation for encouragement and inspiration, especially when navigating through one's own Wonder Hell.Learning to Thrive in Discomfort: The journey through Wonder Hell is marked by moments of uncertainty and discomfort. However, these moments are also opportunities for growth. By getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, individuals can unlock new levels of potential and embrace the journey of continuous improvement.Harnessing the Potential Within: Wonder Hell invites a reevaluation of personal potential and ambition.

Too many of us get caught up in the doing of our business instead of thinking about our business. So for this 376th episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast, we are flashing back to another one of our best interviews... this one from business strategist Jereshia Hawk who went deep on selling to high ticket clients as well as what it takes to truly grow your business. She calls it super thinking. We call it CEO time. Whatever you call it, you definitely want to hear what Jereshia has to say about it. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript. Things we mentioned to check out: The Road Less Stupid by Keith Cunningham The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground Transcript: Rob Marsh:  Welcome to the New Year. Whether you're back at your desk today or still taking a few days to ramp back up for 2024, this interview is just what you need… or at least, it is just what I needed to hear to kick off the new year. It is the perfect compliment to last week's throwback episode with Seth Godin. Because Jereshia is another expert that I love to learn from. When we interviewed her a little over three years ago, she shared a ton of great information about selling to clients with money… what is often referred to as high-ticket sales. And that's what we focused the title and promotion of that interview on. But we also covered the idea of super-thinking. That is the idea that we need to be creating space for coming up with new ideas and insights and not just reacting to what's going on. And quite honestly, a lot of us spent the past year reacting to economic issues, artificial intelligence and a lot of other stuff that impacted the way we work. So I think you're going to like the throwback interview with business coach Jereshia Hawk. Before we get to that, if you want this year to be better than last year, better clients, better projects, and better opportunities, you absolutely need to visit thecopywriterunderground.com and check out the resources waiting for you there. That's thecopywriterunderground.com. Now let's get to our interview with Jereshia… Kira Hug: All right, Jereshia, welcome. We want to kick this off with your story. How did you end up as a high ticket sales coach? Jereshia Hawk:   Well, I kind of stumbled my way here. I was an engineer by trade before even knowing this whole online world existed. And I started doing some of my videos, started getting into coaching, just people asking me to give advice or insight on how I was able to navigate my corporate career and how I was able to position myself for upward mobility opportunities in a nontraditional way or in a way that just wasn't the same beat and path of how you're supposed to excel in corporate. And one thing I started recognizing during my coaching calls at the very, very beginning, when I was charging $60 for a month of coaching, less than what you would pay for a fitness class, and the biggest thing that I noticed was the transferrable skills that I had acquired in corporate America. I was a lead engineer of a $400 million pipeline project, I was responsible for managing our money on a day-to-day basis, making decisions based off of input and output, and so I understood how money moved from a corporates perspective, but then I also understood kind of a gap that I noticed in the industry, or that I noticed just from people that I was discussing on, how do you effectively articulate your value in a way that whoever is in the other position, the buying decision or the position of authority to make a decision, how do you articulate your value in a way where they get it and that it also correlates to how it impacts the bottom line or impacts the thing that's most important to them, and how do you position yourself to be able to do that repeatedly. And once I started to recognize that those three things were really my sweet spot and as I started growing in the coaching business,

Navigating the Evolving Recruitment Landscape with Tricia Tamkin Part 1 Signup for future emails from The Elite Recruiter Podcast: https://eliterecruiterpodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribe In this episode of "The Elite Recruiter Podcast" host Benjamin welcomes special guest Tricia Tamkin, a seasoned recruiter and coach, to discuss how recruiters can increase their success through writing effective job postings and providing impactful coaching services. Tricia shares valuable insights, personal experiences, and practical tips for recruiters who want to optimize their recruitment strategies. Tricia opens the conversation by highlighting success stories, such as a client who increased their billing from $150,000 to $600,000 within a year. This achievement is not mere luck but a result of strategic guidance and support. Tricia shares how they assisted clients in launching new business units that generate significant revenue outside of recruiting, demonstrating their ability to provide diverse business solutions. One notable case study involves helping a corporate client transition from being an employee to owning their own business. Tricia guides listeners through the process of assisting with resignation, launching the business, and acquiring new clients. They stress that the fee structure for this particular client differed due to their unique circumstances and reputation. Tricia's expertise in crafting job postings is evident as they delve into the power of search engine optimization (SEO) in attracting the right candidates. Tricia shares personal recommendations for books that have influenced their approach as a recruiter and coach. While initially mentioning "The Road Less Stupid" by Keith Cunningham, they ultimately recommend "The Four Hour Work Week" by Tim Ferriss. This book challenged their thinking and helped them make significant changes to their business, such as firing employees and outsourcing various functions. The result was becoming more effective in closing deals and focusing on high-value activities that drive success. Moving beyond job postings and coaching, Tricia delves into the importance of securing meetings in the business development process. They emphasize the need to focus solely on securing the meeting, rather than trying to sell the value proposition or process outright. They contrast this approach with the traditional "dialing for dollars" method, highlighting the industry's shift towards more efficient and targeted strategies.

In today's episode, I'm sharing something from 2020 that I recently revisited and found very relevant to what's going on in the market today. Keith Cunningham's book, The Road Less Stupid is one of the best business books of all time, and when the pandemic hit, he wrote a very insightful piece about Business Oxygen. It applies to what we're seeing today, so I'm going to share those insights with you.     In real estate and the industries around, many agents and businesses are hurting. When things are on the decline in our businesses, so many things require our attention, but there's one thing, without which, we just can't survive. For human beings, oxygen is the key to staying alive. For businesses, it's cash and cash flow, if there's no cash flow, the business dies and in light of the current economic turmoil, it's critical for us to pay granular attention to it.    CTA ​​Please leave us a review at https://ratethispodcast.com/nla
