This week, I’m joined on the podcast with 2 business coaches/mentors of mine Ryan & Ben, who are co-owners of The Consulting Guys and Affluent Attraction. They help financial service businesses attract high net worth clients through automated marketing systems & organic marketing.What they’re more well-known for in the twitter world and otherwise is for their business coaching groups, the Church of Clientology and the one I am part of called the Client Acquisition Immersion Program or CAIP.I credit being a part of this program for a lot of mindset shifts that I’ve experienced this past year in regards to starting and growing my own business, my relationship with money, learning about sales, systems & much more.Ryan & Ben are always providing an insane amount of value, even in their free groups - with live zoom calls, course modules, AMA’s with experts, accountability challenges & more. Now, I’m not saying joining groups like this is the only way to start and grow a successful business, far from it actually. But, if you’re looking to build an actual business and not just be a freelancer or have a side hustle, coaching and mentorship are a great route to explore.There’s nothing more motivating than seeing other like-minded entrepreneurs go from struggling to define what their services or target market are to posting screenshots of closing massive 5-6 figure deals through some of the things they’ve learned in the program.In this episode, we talk about their journey, the power of mindset, sales, starting and scaling business and so much more. I encourage you to follow Ryan & Ben on social media, I’ve included the links below in the description.Also, don’t forget to subscribe to the It’s Not That Deep Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen and it would mean a lot to me if you left a rating and review.This podcast is produced by Deep Digital Media.

A: Honestly, while I have a few projects percolating in my noggin, I'm just gonna take it easy for a few months, do a few little low key improv shows and basically recharge my creative batteries. Whatever my next project is, I want to do it right and taking a break and just chilling out until I get that uncontrollable urge to create and produce again. I'm not sitting back and waiting for inspiration, I'm taking a step back until I have the wherewithal to properly follow through on previous inspirations. As always, thanks for listening. -Sammy
