 Welcome to the Vitality Feed. It is such a pleasure to introduce Jillian Flodstrom, a seven figure entrepreneur who has created, launched and built five different businesses in three different industries. She is the founder of FND Insurance and Financial Services, LLC. Her current business is one of the elite few, right that was chosen in all of the state of Washington to be a preferred provider by the Washington health benefit exchange and has been featured regularly in the media. From a forensic biologist to a health insurance broker and entrepreneur to international business owner, Jillian specializes in helping her clients migrate the feelings of overwhelm, chaos and confusion when it comes to leading and growing your business. She also is the host of the podcast Scale Your Small Business, and frequently does presentations for small business organizations. Jillian is relentlessly passionate about efficiency, organization and strategic planning. She has dedicated her time and her business to help inspire small business owners to becoming more productive, more aligned and more in control of their future. She also was a help to me when I was trying to incorporate numerous things into my business, especially the organization of my calendar, through the use of Calendly. She not only handheld me through every step of the way, but she actually showed me what my clients sees and shot me back some screenshots, which was just over the top and awesome  and I think our every single time I see that Calendly open.   I greatly appreciate her and appreciate all the things that she has shown me to make my daily operations move on a little smoother. Please welcome Jillian Flodstrom. It is so awesome to have you here today. I'm so excited to be here with you.  You're just so inspiring , you just don't meet people every day that can juggle what you can.  I can't even hardly do this one business and you're just got all these. It totally blows my mind how you've built and scaled multiple businesses at the same time. Just tell us a little bit about your story and maybe highlight an obstacle . Well, I will tell you, I had a turning point in my business when I was in a fender bender car accident. And at the time it wasn't that big of a deal. I really didn't think it was that, that big of a thing, but it turned into a huge thing. And I got diagnosed with a severe concussion and it changed my life because I went from working, you know, 16, 18 hours a day. I mean, my business is my life. I love it. Like, I love to work like that is. That's what I love to do. And so when the concussion happened, I had to relearn how to talk and I could only, only had enough brain power to work on my business for one hour a day. And that is really where scale your small business came from was because I realized that I cannot do it all. I don't have enough brain power. I physically cannot do it. And normally I'm one of those people that are, I'm like, listen, walk it off. You got this, you can do it power through and adjust. My brain was like, no, we're not going to do that. So that was a huge turning point in my business in my life. But I feel like it's always one of those things when you look back and you're like, that was a defining moment. That is when things changed for the better. And when I was in the thick of it, it was absolutely miserable. But now looking back on it, I'm like, it was the right thing. It changed my path into the best decisions that have ever come about. And I think sometimes we get so focused on looking at those negative things that happened, that we don't see the open doors. If you just turned your head a little bit and, you know, had faith that you were going to be walking through the right door, you just had to get over this, you know, one horrible thing. And then there was going to be so much more, so much more waiting for you. It's just, it's been an amazing experience, but it is something that, that changed my life. And I really share with people to not wait. Don't wait until there is a serious health event. Something happens that prevents you from working on your business, get someone to help you. I think delegation is key in any business that I meet with so many entrepreneurs that are like, I don't have the money. I don't, I don't know how to do it, all these different things that prevent us from moving forward. And really those are just mind blocks in our own minds. There are so many talented, amazing people that would love to help you in your business. And quite honestly can do the things that you do every day so much better and will love your business. You know, maybe not as much as you do, but with a lot. A lot of tenacity, we'll love your business and we'll take you to, higher levels than you ever thought possible. So that's definitely a turning point in my business, for sure. I understand that cause I was very pig headed about things years ago and I had a few surgeries, literally like having to ask my daughters to help get my panties on, you know what I mean? And absolutely. You, you get a humbling experience. Yes it is. And there's nothing like learning that lesson. But I think when you look back on it, you're like, okay, I was Tony Robbins says you don't create your mess into your message. If you hadn't gone through that, you wouldn't grow and be where you are today. Even though at the time it's like, whoa. Totally, absolutely. You're right about that for sure. Yeah. What would you say is, one of the number one key factors to your success? I never give up. Like when someone says, no, I don't even hear like when most people hear, no, they hear it a certain way to me. I don't even hear it as a, no, I hear it as a, not right now. So I think me continuing to never give up, keep moving forward. It doesn't matter what your trying to achieve. You just have to keep going. And if you want to do something with someone and they're like, no, I'm not available. That can come back to you. It's we never write anything off and be like, oh, that's never going to work out. It's just, it's not right now. So keeping being mindful of that, making sure that you know, that it will happen. It's just not right now. And that's okay. It's just not meant to be. That's funny because one of my latest mantras is Never Say Never! You know , you think one way, and this is the way I'm going to be and then life throws these curve balls at you and, all of a sudden you have a whole different perspective. And the next thing you know, you're like, Wow. I'm thinking in a whole different way. Yeah, absolutely. It's kind of refreshing . I'm starting to really embrace uncertainty. And I think with that comes those trials that if you just, like you say, you push your way through, I love that relentless mindset.  I tell people there's no plan B for me. So people too, I'm like, they're like, what do you want to do with the rest of your life? And I always say world domination and they laugh and it's funny and we giggle about it, but I'm like, no, for reals, like, I want people to know that there is a way out of this entrepreneurial thing that you're going, like, you can bring the joy back to this business of why you started this business. It is possible to get out of the minutia and do the things that you love to do and why we became entrepreneurs in the first place. I so agree. That's one of the things that I do love about Russell Brunson is he's a firm believer in,  entrepreneurs can change the world. We don't need to depend on government. We don't need to depend on politicians. We don't need to depend on corporations. There's enough people with enough buying power and drive out there. That it's it's doable today, especially now. I think that's one of the cool things about the pandemic is that it, I was from the event industry, it showed lots of people, hey, you really don't need to all collectively get together in this one space, you can do it from the comfort of your home.  And companies are going yahoo because it's a lot less expensive. I think it's shown us a whole new place and you just have to embrace change cause you just never know. Right? And working together with each other too. I think that that's shown us all, you know, for a lot of us as entrepreneurs, we only really saw each other when we went to an event where we were physically together and now it's like reaching out to each other during what we've just went through and been like, what can I do to help you? Something that is very small to me. Like you mentioned earlier early about your Calendly. That's not a big deal for me. I'm pretty good at it, so I helped you, and it's like, what you're going to do the same thing for the next person. And pretty soon that ripple effect is going to help all of us entrepreneurs and we all can succeed together. There's enough business out there for each of us. We don't have to battle each other and cut each other's heads off to get the business. We all can win together. And I think making sure that we help each other and say, listen, oh, you're struggling with that. Let me help you. It'll take like 10 minutes. Let's just knock it out so you can move your business forward. It's just, it's awesome when we can come together and just take care of each other because the world meet needs more of that. For sure. I couldn't agree more. That was so powerful. And I loved every word of that because that's. So how I think as well. In fact, I heard recently on a podcast, this lady she's a business coach and  she dedicates about an hour of her week to helping somebody who's behind her in, in the steps of business. And I'm like, that's a really, I didn't that didn't Dawn on me until you can do, but you did the exact same thing for me with Calendly. And I plan on doing the same thing, but the next person, and I tell you, the people sitting at my table for this summit that I'm doing, have been instrumental in that. And I've been so blessed and all of the giving attitudes that I've been surrounded with. And I so agree that there's enough for everybody.  We can have that mindset of goodness. And, helping each other. It feels good. You know? Absolutely, I don't think it does it, it has more of a benefit for me than the other person, because it's just, it, it fills my tank. Like it makes me feel good that somebody is one step closer to accomplishing something, if I was able to help with that, like I just, that's such a good feeling that I enjoy. I love that and I live for things like that. It's one of the reasons why  I like this is because you get to talk to people and share these great tidbits of wisdom. And this is if everybody did that, it's kinda like, you know, you buy somebody's coffee and then the person it's the same, same exact principle. Um, so what do you think has been one of the most invaluable lessons that you've learned maybe that would help the next person in, in their struggles that entrepreneurs go through. I think the first thing that came to mind was that no is a complete sentence. So I just did a whole podcast on this because I think that it's tough for us. As you know, a lot of times we, as entrepreneurs are wearing multiple hats, whether that's family spouse, multiple businesses, whatever that is, we all have a ton of stuff going on and it's really easy to get in the habit of saying yes, and I'll do that for you. I'll take that on, you know, and so mate, reminding yourself that it's okay to say no, and you don't have to give a reason why, you know, you can, you know, come up with a little something, you know, oh, I can't dedicate the amount of time that. That task requires. I wouldn't want to let you down by not doing an appropriate job, whatever you want to say. But I think the most important thing to remember is that it's okay to say, no, you don't have to do everything because sometimes your plate gets so full that you're doing a disservice to yourself, because then that here comes the stress and the I've got too much on my plate. Now I'm overwhelmed. And you know, all the things that come along with having too much. You know, I, I know, I know you like lists like I do.  So I have a funny list that, that fits perfectly with this analogy and it's called the Not To Do List, you put things on there that you purposely do not want to do and I think delegation, as you're going to speak up with the summit. That is something that can also be put on there. Stop doing the things that you can let somebody else do. It can be a game changer. So tell me about a little about your daily lists. Like, how do you decipher your top priorities. I have so many lists. I love, I love a good list may. So I, I have a couple of different things that I do that kind of our overall. So I plan in 90 day chunks. So I follow if you've ever read the book 12 Week Year, I love it. Like I sing its praises , whoever will look at me and I can talk about it. I love it. But we plan in those 90 day chunks. And so what we do is we look at our list of tasks from those projects, we put those onto our calendar that we schedule block. And then we really just figure out what's less than two minutes. What can we delegate to somebody else? I think the delegation is key. That is so huge. And being able to trust someone else to get those tasks off your list, but it just propels you that much farther, faster, because it's not only you working on the team towards that goal. It's multiple people. And so I think that's something that is. So huge. I mean, I feel like sometimes entrepreneurs are, you know, I'm doing this all by myself and look at how awesome I am. Cause I do everything and that's just not the right way to be because it just leads to burnout and overwhelm and exhaustion. And I don't know about you, but those. Traits come out in my body in the way of hives and you know, all these horrible things that, you know, it's not good illness. Yeah. All those things. Warren Buffett, he also is a list-maker, but I think this is very interesting. Supposedly he makes the list and put everything on there and then just literally takes the top three and throws the rest out, throws it in the garbage doesn't even save for tomorrow, throws the rest of it away. I think because they changes. And then tomorrow's list is going to be different. And that's true. That's very freeing. When you think about that, you just put the thing on the day and your task, that hand. You know what somebody told me, they said that whenever they go on vacation, so they set up their out of office, you know, thing that we do on our email. Right. But they said when they get back from vacation, they delete everything. They don't even read it. They just delete that box that I was like, that's giving me heart palpitations. And they're like, cause you know what, whatever emails come in,  if it's something important, right. That person's going to send another email. And say, Hey, I going to follow up with you on this. And I was just like, that is a very interesting idea. I have not got the courage to do it yet, but I love that. Oh my gosh. That takes chutzpah. Yes, that is true. Wow. Okay. What do you think your secret sauce is for being such a master at efficiency? I think it's just never never given up that, no matter what, whether it's over the box around the box, under the box, through the box, there's always a way to get something accomplished that whatever it is, no matter how big, crazy audacious that goal is, or always, there's always a way. And there's always people that can help you get to that goal. And so just reaching out, telling people about that goal, never giving up on it, maybe adjusting it if you need to, but never giving up. I think that's, that's something that a lot of people are like, oh, I could never do that. And I'm like, why??? Are you familiar with the marshmallow test?  So they put kids in a room and they put two marshmallows on their plate and there, they told them that you can have one marshmallow now, but the other one you have to wait or you can have the second one if you wait, but, or something to that effect. But basically it's like a delayed gratification. So they tracked these kids and the ones who waited were so much more successful in life.  So if you get the, no, you can't have that marshmallow, right this second, but  you can figure out a way to get it. That delayed gratification. You just have to be a little more creative and think about it a different way or find the right person. So I agree with that. Um, what software or apps you use to help you keep on track of all these businesses that you run. I love Asana. So Asana is where we manage everything. So every single thing that we do in the business, it's all done in Asana. All of us have access to it. We all have multiple boards that we collaborate on, but we also have multiple boards that are our own. So I think, a general place to organize everything. And this is another thing that I talk about too, is that having what I call an idea notebook. So when you first start your business, you've got all these things rattling around in your head, write them all down, put them in a notebook, but make sure it's somewhere where you save it. Because I made that mistake and I was like, oh man, if I could go back a couple of years, To all those amazing ideas that were, you know, not the right time. And now they are like, it would be incredible to have that. And so I have lots of notebooks, but I also scan them into Evernote. So that way they live forever and an electronic place. And you can also search for them. Um, rather than I was like, oh, I don't need this notebook anymore. I'll just shred it. I love Evernote and I agree with you about the searchability because sometimes as much as it feels good to write things out, when you have like a book, a year's worth of notes, where was that? That note I had, but I agree with you because sometimes you look back and you're like, that would have been so perfect then, you know, or now, for now. And the fact that we can't remember a lot of stuff, like just the other day somebody asked me something and I was like, oh, was that last week? And they're like, it's six years ago. I'm like, there's no, like, you've got to have some sort of like cataloging system, right. Go back and look at that stuff because you will need it eventually. So get those systems created in the beginning. So that way it's just, you know, by the end of the day, you're turning off the lights, you're taking a picture of your planner for the day. It goes and lives in Evernote and you can move on with your life. That is invaluable information. I, I love the idea of getting it right from the start too. It's hard when, when you're just in that learning phase to try to get in on the right page of things, literally.  But Evernote, I used to use that like a feign but I haven't since I've started my business, which is kind of sad, but I have so many notes in there. Oh my word. But I, I do like the ability to search. That's why I tend to do  like Excel because things are searchable rather than just journaling. Although I just started journaling yesterday.   But you know, you can search with your journaling, like your handwritten notes. It can still search your handwriting. Ah, ah, you have to upgrade to the pro version, but it's totally worth the money. Which is huge because like all in one of my businesses and somebody will be like, well,  I don't remember what day I called, but you can search by their name and then boom up pops. The date that you wrote, like your scribbles in stuff. That's just so efficient. Oh my gosh, what a time saver that is. Oh yeah, because we can't keep it all in our head. So we gotta make sure that it's in someplace safe that, you know, no matter what happens, it's always going to be there. I agree with you. It's a freeing feeling right. Well, Today everything's so much more complicated too, that you literally can't keep it all in your head. There's just no way to decipher it all. Um, and I, I love, I'm trying to embrace the notion of imperfect action. I've come from the events industry, where everything was you know, customer service to the upteen for level, always perfect and do whatever they want.  So imperfect action and just being one step ahead of people and it's all you need to be, but it's very hard to go from that, those are two bipolar opposite concepts that I'm trying to embrace it, it's really been very difficult, but I'm trying Can you give us an example of how you've helped a small business owner? Trying to think there's so many? I think that. Being able to reach out to people. And I think a lot of times, you know, when we go to these events, we talk about like, oh, how's business. Oh, I'm killing it. And we don't really talk about, you know, Hey, I'm struggling today. Hey, I'm having a hard time with this. I think that we as entrepreneurs, we don't want to be perceived as having a weakness. And so. But by sharing that with people, like how you shared your struggles with Calendly. And I was like, oh, I got you. Like, I know how to do that. Like imagine if we all did that with all of our weaknesses, like we would be so much further ahead, so much stronger just because we helped each other. So reaching out to those small business owners and saying. Listen, I have been through this. I have been in the trenches. My businesses are all completely different. None of them are similar. So I really have this grasp of like, you know, you got to Bob and weave, you know, it's Dodge ball every day. And so being able to sit down with a business owner and say, I get it, I've been there. Let me tell you how I fixed it. And then you can take that or a portion of that and build it into your system, into your life and see if it will work for you. That's an important distinction to make, and I think that's more on along the lines of authentic communication, real being real. And it's so smart because then you're like, okay. The other person's giving you information, makes them feel good, but you're also solving something for you that gets you in a better way and then if you have employees, it's also helping them too. So it's like really like a triple win, but yet we still don't do it. For some reason we don't want to be, we don't want to, I don't know if it's being perceived as having a weakness or not wanting to be collaborative because, you know, we think in order to win, the other person has to lose. And I. And very much in the camp of we all can win there's enough business out there for all of us, even, you know, some of my quote unquote competitors, I'm very close with. Like we're very dear friends. And I think that that enables us to help each other again. So, you know, in my insurance brokerage, if for some reason we can't insure someone, I will call one of my four girlfriends that are in the same business as me. And that person can be helped by one of them, because not only is it helping the client, but it's also helping me because I have a resource to give them. So I'm not just like, well, good luck to ya. You know, we're actually solving that person's problem and saying, unfortunately, I can't help you, but I know for other people that can, who are freaking incredible human beings, that I call friends . And , it's a win-win for everybody. Um, so Brunson calls that like a syndicate where you kind of have like a customer that you can each can utilize or what you can pass along to somebody else that they can work with. I think that's super smart and I love that, that idea of sharing the customer because it helps them and I think that totally comes back to you. Right? You did the right thing and that person's been served regardless. You have so many great hacks that people can add to their business frameworks. This has been so awesome, Jillian, and it's been such an honor to speak with you today, and I really appreciate your time. Tell everybody where they can find you on social media. So you can find me everywhere @jillianfloodstrom.com and my website,  hijillian.com or at the Scale  Your Small Business podcast. Awesome. So my last deep question here, my signature question. If you could eliminate one thing in this world forever, what would it be and why? So this is going to be a little controversial. So hang onto your hats, but eliminate. Daylight savings time. I just said it Yay for you because my daughter's in Hawaii and they don't do that. So I have to remember, is it five hours, six hours. Right. And you accidentally call them at the wrong time when they're sleeping and you know, then Arizona's over there and they don't even have daylight savings just, yeah, I so agree. Let's all get on the same page.  Again, it's all about simplicity. yeah, I'm a fan. Cause it just makes another thing more confusing, right? Yeah, absolutely. And we've, we've talked about time changes and zone changes and trends on a global basis. And that's just one less thing to think about. So kudos my friend, I think it was a great idea. And thank you again. And all you vitality seekers. Remember life has no remote... get up and change it yourself.

2 years. 6 continents. 108 episodes. 162 countries. 207,000+ downloads.and this is just the beginning… Today’s episode honors the two year anniversary of the podcast with some celebration and my tips for starting and growing a successful podcast. The Brainy Business podcast launched with its first three episodes on Friday, July 6, 2018. We have had an episode every single week since then and never missed a Friday release or newsletter in those 2 years. Hooray! That first month had 844 downloads, which I was incredibly excited about at that time! As you’ll learn in this episode, my show actually hit the average podcast download numbers in that first month...and since then things have gone up and up. It took 483 days to hit the first 100,000 download milestone and less than half that time (only 237) to get the next hundred thousand. If pace stays the same we will be passing the quarter million mark around October, which is amazing as well! There have been listeners on every continent (minus Antarctica) and 162 countries. Shout out to the top downloaders! Not surprisingly, the US tops the list, followed by the UK, then Canada, Australia, India, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Israel, and Spain rounds out the top 10. Coming in at 11 we have the Netherlands, followed by South Africa, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, New Zealand, Switzerland, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, and France rounding out the top 20. Shout out to my friends in Canada! The top Canadian provinces by downloads are Ontario, followed by British Columbia and Alberta. And to those in the states, we still have a lot of the same top 10 with a fairly similar order: California has the most downloads followed by Washington, Texas, New York, Illinois, Florida, Georgia, Virginia and North Carolina. What has made the podcast successful, and what can you learn from my first two years in podcasting?  That’s what this episode is all about. I’ll answer questions like: How long does it take to run a successful podcast? Do you really need to be weekly? How many downloads does the average podcast get? Do most podcasts make money? How should you strategically think about your cover art and podcast name? What the heck is podfade, and should you be concerned about it? All this and more covered in this week's episode…[PLUS my awesome Podcast Episode Best Practices Checklist is now available for preorder!] Show Notes: [00:46] This week is the two year anniversary of The Brainy Business podcast, which launched with its first three episodes on Friday, July 6, 2018. [01:38] There have been listeners in 162 countries. [04:04] I appreciate each and every one of you who has ever interacted or connected with The Brainy Business. [06:10] Podcasting is a growing medium, and just like any exciting new format it can feel like “everyone” has a podcast and that you “must” be there to be successful in business. [07:24] If it isn’t worth your time to be there and build it the right way, it probably isn’t worth doing. [09:39] Sure, I could spend less time preparing for each episode, but all those things are what make The Brainy Business successful. [11:41] I did the research and invested in good audio from the beginning. [13:45] Why is a podcast a good fit for your business model and how will it support the work you do? [14:28] One other reason I started the show was to help people understand what behavioral economics even is and how it can apply to business. [16:36] Knowing your goals before you jump in and create a podcast is incredibly important and should be used to determine how you set up the structure of your show.  [19:03] Clear, concise, targeted content can often take more time to create than something longer.   [20:35] Most podcasts don’t get past episode seven.   [21:27] Podcast stats aren’t as detailed as we would all like them to be. [22:35] Most podcasts do not make money, and actually cost money. [24:05] Podcast downloads are not a perfect science and the numbers look at the average after an episode has been live for 30 days. [26:54] According to Libsyn, the hosting platform I and many other podcasters use, the average podcast episode has 141 downloads after 30 days. (As you saw in the intro, The Brainy Business was above this from the first month of launching the show, even though I didn’t have a big list - the tips in this episode are a big reason why.) Preorder Your Podcast Episode Best Practices Checklist NOW [28:22] Think about how you will stand out from competitors. [28:56] Knowing which areas are searchable is important in helping people find you. [30:45] Searchability and clear alignment to the topic was most important. [32:43] The name and art should draw their eye and make them want to click to get to the next step of reading your full title and description and decide if they want to listen to an episode. [33:38] If you are going to be investing in a podcast, it should be a main driver of business for you. [36:06] In my opinion, it is almost not worth doing if you aren’t going weekly. [38:12] Start with your first three episodes and go live with them on the first day. This allows people to begin that binge listening and start forming that habit. [39:46] It is more important to pick a day that works with your schedule so you can release great content on time every time than it is to be on the “perfect’ day. [41:12] For each episode, I come up with the topic and determine if it will be a guest or a solo episode. After I determine my topic I start doing my research and write the full script.  [41:51] After all the preparation, I then record using my ATR2100 mic into a system called Audacity. Then I submit to the team for editing and creating social media graphics and worksheets for the episode (using Canva).   [42:43] I listen to every single episode and review and edit the show notes before approving. [43:26] I also create audiograms (using Headliner), set up the newsletter (Active Campaign) and write the social copy for all platforms.   [45:11] Spend an hour making a list of every topic you could possibly do an episode or post about. Break them up into smaller pieces, combine some together, list as many as you can.  [46:09] Write down ideas in bulk when you don’t need them right away. It is much easier to come up with a bunch of topics when you don’t need them. When it is for next week’s show it is a lot harder to create a topic from scratch.
