Everything in life seems to be moving along smoothly. Then, BAM! You get a punch to the gut; the way you understand life is flipped. As humans, we've all been there before. Whether it happens in the pursuit of an athletic endeavor or just while navigating life, we must be able to dig out of the moments when our souls get crushed. . Did you have Olympic Trials Qualification dreams? How about dealing with hip impingement instead. Were you trying to find some fitness and balance in life? How about being dished a chronic illness diagnosis. These are just a few examples of times that it would be easy to lose all hope. . Topics covered in this episode: 1) The evolution of coaching athletes 2) Confronting mindset after losing hope 3) An attitude of gratitude 4) Strengthening the body and mind for running 5) Lateral shifting in thought 6) Operating around and through fear . Take a listen and reach out with any feedback or questions. . ***Listener's note: there was a little bit of audio drift between the two files from this conversation. As a result, you'll hear a little overlap; truthfully, I figure it to be the interference of Ryan McGrath, but there's nothing I can (ever) do about that ;)
Ryan McGrath has a unique approach to copywriting - ferociousness. In this episode, you'll learn what makes high performing copywriters stand out, and how they look at the world (and copywriting) differently as Ryan and I discuss his new book, The Ferocious Copywriter Manifesto.
Today we’ve got another Report from the Field, and our special guest, our returning champion, is Joe Schriefer from Agora Financial. Joe, thanks for coming back! So here’s what we’re going to talk about today: Few people will ever get the chance to grow an eight-figure company into a nine-figure company. And far fewer still will ever do this with a company that’s 100% driven by direct response copy, as Agora Financial is. I’ve had the privilege of watching up-close, and maybe adding a little fuel to the bonfire. But mainly, I am in so much awe of the growth of this company. And our special guest today, Joe, is the guy in charge of the company. He doesn’t like titles so we’ll just call him Joe. That’s his name, anyway Frankly, I didn’t know if Joe would agree to talk about his philosophy of growth. He was reasonably concerned that it would not be of that much interest to that many listeners on the Copywriters Podcast. But I suggested that it would be of great interest, and tremendous value, because at the heart of it, Agora Financial is just a grown-up version of what so many copywriters and small info-marketers are doing with their own businesses. That is, coming up with valuable products, keeping the target customer in mind, and promoting those products using direct response copy. So here we are! Before we dive in, here are some words of wisdom for you: Copy is powerful. You’re responsible for how you use what you hear on this podcast. Most of the time, common sense is all you need. But if you make extreme claims… and/or if you’re writing copy for offers in highly regulated industries like health, finance, and business opportunity… you may want to get a legal review after you write and before you start using your copy. My larger clients do this all the time. By the way, and this is the first time I’ve said this on the show, Agora Financial is one of the clients who gets a legal review before they publish their copy. So if you’ve been wondering if I just made that part up – no I didn’t. But let’s talk about something more exciting than getting an opinion on what’s safe to include in your copy and what’s not. Joe, first, thanks for coming back and welcome back to the podcast! 1. So Joe, I’d like to mention that when we met in the fall of 2014 for the first time, you and Ryan McGrath and I had dinner, and you told me you’d be pretty happy if the company doubled in revenues. But it has grown to five times the size in three-and-one-half years. What’s that been like? 2. What’s the right mindset for growth, from your own experience? 3. I remember when I first met you, you were basically doing three leadership jobs, and you were in the process of training others so you could delegate to them. How important do you think it is for the person who’s ultimately responsible for the business to know every aspect of it inside-out, which I think it is fair to say you do? 4. As I understand it, Agora Financial started out in one niche, financial publishing, and now has expanded into other niches, including health, spy and survival stuff, and even Internet marketing. Could you talk about how you’ve approached this kind of diversification and what lessons you’ve learned? 5. When it comes to growing a company, what should the priorities be? What are mistakes to avoid? 6. Direct response businesses are different in some ways than other, more conventional businesses. I’m not even sure what a conventional business is anymore, but, could you talk about how someone should look at growing a direct-response-based business and what might be different from growing a different kind of business? 7. Finally, since this a podcast about copywriting, I would be derelict in my duties if I didn’t talk about copywriters, specifically. You have helped a lot of copywriters grow in their careers, and with their incomes. Could you tell me, what are the qualities that you’ve found make for success with a copywriter? 8. And once again, in case there are any job openings in the future at Agora Financial, how would you like people to apply for a job there?Download.

Featuring Joe Schriefer We’ve talked about the Big Idea on the show before, but we have a report from the field today with the best expert I know or know of on this topic, Joe Schriefer. Just on the slight chance you’ve never heard of him, Joe heads up Agora Financial in Baltimore, which consists of five publishing companies, or “imprints,” as they prefer to call them. When you put them all together, in my opinion, Agora Financial as a whole makes up the biggest, and most profitable, Big Idea production studio in the world. Joe is a humble man, so I can see you recoiling from your microphone in Baltimore, Joe, as I’m saying this. I do need to disclose that Joe is a friend and client, so you’ll understand the relationship as we continue this podcast. I have my habitual advisory, and then we’ll jump right into it. Here’s the advisory: Copy is powerful. You’re responsible for how you use what you hear on this podcast. Most of the time, common sense is all you need. But if you make extreme claims… and/or if you’re writing copy for offers in highly regulated industries like health, finance, and business opportunity… you may want to get a legal review after you write and before you start using your copy. My larger clients do this all the time. Joe, thanks so much for taking time to be here! And welcome to the show. 1. So let’s talk about the Big Idea. I know Ryan McGrath has this great three-step process you’ve talked about before. Could you share it here? 2. Could you talk about copywriters working at AF who have really mastered the art of coming up with the Big Idea, and how they did it? 3. You have an amazing eye for what will work, I’ve noticed. Let me tell you what I’ve figured out, but I’d like you to tell me if I’m right or wrong, and what else you’ve done and you do to keep your eyes and ears sharp. I figure a lot of it comes from a combination of experience of things that have worked, and things that haven’t. Another big piece I imagine that contributes to your ability to “call ’em” is that you read so much copy and keep track of the market all the time. Then, I suppose, it’s really knowing the target customer well. Am I right? And, right or not, what am I missing? 4. So, now that we have a sense of how you’ve learned what works as a Big Idea and how you stay in touch with what’s going on in the market, can you give us a sense of what goes through your mind when you evaluate a Big Idea a copywriter is pitching you? 5. Could you go through the training folks at AF get for generating Big Ideas? 6. Maybe we should have covered this earlier, but I wanted people to get some idea of what a big deal the Big Idea really is. Could you walk us through a few of your favorites, and explain why you like them? 7. For our listeners who would like to get better at creating Big Ideas themselves, what would you recommend?Download.
