When you're a small, service-based business, you are selling yourself and your ideas. I call this marketing when the brand is YOU.  Most service businesses brand with what we call the story archetypes. You can read more about story archetypes here at this link. I've interviewed several Role Model archetypes. On this episode we get a rare look at an Educator archetype.  Role Models have the message, "This is what I did. If I can do it, you can too. I'm just like you." They share a lot of personal information. On the other hand, Educators share the message, "I have knowledge of what works. I want to share that knowledge with you. If you use my knowledge, you will be successful." Robert Middleton has been a business coach for many years, working with small businesses and solopreneurs. He is the quintessential Educator archetype. On this episode, you will learn... ...how Robert built his business as an Educator ...how Educators use stories (and the kinds of stories Robert tells in his business) ...why an Educator is also an experimenter and a learner  ...how good Educators have in-depth understanding of processes ...the importance of learning one-on-one from a coach as compared to a book or video ...how Educators study the process of training (and what kind he feels will work best) ...how Educators study what doesn't work as well as what works  ...the importance of making an idea a business reality ("making it happen") instead of overthinking, delaying and seeking perfection...how Robert is still an Educator in his new role as a podcaster ...the most important component of success in business (and it's not book learning) Stay to the end and you'll get Robert's analogy with cooking!  You can learn more about Robert and his new venture at his website actionplan.club. Go to his site and get his guide to ChatGPT--free. You'll be added to his list (but he's no longer selling!).  If you'd like to learn even more about the story archetypes, and using then to brand your small business, be sure to read my next book, coming out soon on Amazon.

(Bonus) Duck and Cover is a 1952 American civil defense animated live-action social guidance film[1] that is often mischaracterized[2][3] as propaganda.[4] It has similar themes to the more adult-oriented civil defense training films. It was widely distributed to United States schoolchildren in the 1950s, and teaches students what to do in the event of a nuclear explosion.[5] The film was funded by the US Federal Civil Defense Administration and released in January 1952.[citation needed] At the time, the Soviet Union was engaged in nuclear testing and the US was in the midst of the Korean War.[citation needed] It was written by Raymond J. Mauer, directed by Anthony Rizzo of Archer Productions, narrated by actor Robert Middleton, and made with help from schoolchildren from New York City and Astoria, New York.[citation needed]

2pm ET / 1pm CT / 12pm MT / 11am PT (Outside US: Dial 00 + 1 + 714-464-4891) Viki Winterton interviews Steve Hayes!  British born Ivan Hayes first arrived in Hollywood in 1949 and moved there permanently in 1950. An actor for ten years, he worked in movies at MGM, Warner Bros., Paramount, Columbia, RKO, Universal Studios and the Samuel Goldwyn Studios as well as in early network television and radio. While he was under contract at 20th Century Fox, the studio insisted Ivan find a more American-sounding name. He chose Steve, after the name of his friend Steve Reeves, a former Mr. Universe who later became world-famous as "Hercules." When not acting or writing books and screenplays, Steve helped support himself by working in restaurants and parking cars at Hollywood's glamorous Sunset Strip nightspots like the Mocambo, Ciro's, Villa Nova, and The Players. He also did detective work for the Fred Otash Detective Agency and painted movie stars' homes and famous places like the Garden of Allah. Then, in 1954, he became night manager of Googie's, a popular coffee shop next to Schwab's Drugstore that was made famous by James Dean, John Saxon, Natalie Wood, Rod Steiger, James Garner, Jayne Mansfield and other celebrities like western writer Louis L'Amour and Hollywood gossip columnist Sidney Skolsky. During that time Steve befriended numerous movie stars like Errol Flynn, Tyrone Power, Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Clark Gable, Alan Ladd, Lana Turner, Sterling Hayden and Robert Middleton, all of whom influenced his life and gave him material for his recently published two-volume memoirs, Googie's: Coffee Shop to the Stars. Steve still writes novels and screenplays and presently lives at the beach in Huntington Beach, California, with his lovely wife of twenty-five years, Robbin.

Robert Middleton drove down to the airport hotel from his home in the Santa Cruz mountains on Saturday to ask the National Speakers Association of Northern California if there was anyone in the room whose friends and acquaintances could answer three simple questions about our businesses: Who is our ideal client? What is the main problem we solve for our clients? What outcome do we deliver to our clients? No one in the room had confidence that our own friends knew what we did well enough to answer these questions. No one in the room therefore had solved the fundamental marketing problem: that people just plain don't know what we do or see in the value in what we offer. Middleton took us through the solutions to the four biggest marketing problems: how to get people's attention; deliver the information they need; provide an experience of the solutions we offer and, finally, submit a proposal asking for business. It's critical that we can articulate these messages according the correct marketing syntax. Syntax honors the order in which information is presented. Most small businesses (and many large ones) mix up the syntax and unknowingly communicate a different meaning. The letters that spell A-R-T are mixed up to spell R-A-T. A rat first tells people all about their solutions without communicating basic information about who they work with, the challenges customers face, what outcomes delivered and what action steps people can take to engage with us. The artful know what to say first. The beauty of Middleton's methodology is that these principles can be learned and applied to the way we discuss our business when we first meet people (engaging them conversationally rather than delivering a stilted 'elevator pitch') as well as to our website design, written proposals, sales letters or even - Lordy sakes! - to the way a local Chapter of a Speakers Association might recruit new members. Now there's an idea. I caught up with Robert after lunch and asked him to explain how his methods are used by communications professionals. To hear what he told me, click on the podcast icon below.
