Content Warning: On How I Made It In Marketing, we delve beneath the buzzwords of our industry to uncover the biggest lessons from successful careers. Our guests share detailed, hard-fought, in-the-trenches stories of how they learned these lessons and put them into practice.Today's guest has spent a significant part of her career selling condoms. As a result, our in-depth conversation may involve frank discussions about sexual topics. If you are uncomfortable with this subject matter, you should not listen to this episode. You can explore our 107 other episodes [https://www.marketingsherpa.com/podcast].Marketing can be perceived as a devious force, tricking people into buying things they don't need and using services that exploit them. Ouch. I don't want my life's work to be that.In a society of choice, marketing can also connect people with things that bring them utility and joy. That's a better place to be.Even better, I believe the highest and best use of marketing is to nudge people towards choices that benefit them in the long term, even if they're less appealing in the short term, like healthy eating and exercise.Our next guest markets a product that helps reduce health risks, even though it's often more fun not to use it. Adding to the challenge, it's a taboo topic. The product is condoms.To hear lessons and stories from her experience marketing this product, I talked to Milla Impola, Director of Marketing & Communications, Global Protection Corporation [https://globalprotection.com/].Global Protection Corporation is owned by Karex Berhad. Karex is a publicly traded company on Bursa Malaysia. It reported 532 million Malaysian Ringgit in revenue in 2023, equal to approximately $117 million Impola manages a marketing team of 10 along with 50 contractors.Here are some lessons from Impola that emerged in our discussion:Force yourself to practice public speakingThe best way to learn your customers is to talk to themDon't just think outside the box.

At 48, Mark Livingston found himself divorced with very little money to his name and nothing saved up for his kids. It was a wake-up call that he couldn't rely on traditional savings vehicles and Wall Street to prepare him for retirement and secure a good life for his family. Instead of letting his setbacks define him, Mark used his 35 years of experience as a corporate executive and CPA to turn his life around.After investing in land flipping and realizing that it takes too much of his time, he founded Match Real Assets - an investment management company that helps investors find lucrative passive and high-performing real asset investment deals. He's creating opportunities for others that he previously needed himself.His latest project involves extracting helium from natural gas by purchasing an operational natural gas field and adding value through the use of advanced helium-extracting technology. With his extensive knowledge of financial regulations and a strategic, long-term approach to investing, Mark has proven that it's never too late to start building a better future.Adversities Mark had to overcome:DivorceLow net worthNothing saved up for his kids or his retirementTried to buy a business, but lost the dealWorking too muchAbundance Mark created:Rediscovered love and remarriedBuying and selling parcels of landScaling his land investing businessStarting an investment management companyLessons from Mark's adversitiesSeek out entrepreneurs and learn from themDon't live in a box someone else created for you, explore what you want to exploreCoaching can change your life and help you discover what you're meant to doTune in as James and Mark Livingston talk about:(00:00) Financial reality check(05:52) Juggling a business and a corporate career(09:41) Nothing saved for his kids at 48(14:15) Investing beyond wall street and multiple streams of income(18:50) Land flipping and failing at buying a business(24:23) Realizing what he actually wants to do(26:55) How to find a business partners(28:06) When partnerships go south…(31:09) Balancing family and work(37:02) Offsetting his W2 income and reinventing himself(41:29) How he structures his business deals(45:42) How accredited passive investors can work with Mark(56:37) Rapid-fire questionsLinks To invest with Mark Livingston, shoot an email to: abundance@matchrealassetpartners.comWealth Without WallstreetThe Land Geek Mark PodolskyHow Financial Collapse Allowed Mark Podolsky to Create a Healthy View of Self-Worth and the Game of Making MoneyBooks and Resources Multiple Streams of Income by Robert AllenRich Dad, Poor DadConnect with Mark Livingston:WEBSITE: https://marklivingston.me/LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markalivingston/CONTACT: abundance@matchrealassetpartners.comFollow Labrador LendingWEBSITE: https://labradorlending.com/LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/company/71512077/FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/labradorlendingINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/labradorlendingllc/YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChYrpCUlqFYLy4HngRrmU9QConnect with Jamie:LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-bateman-5359a811/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/batemanjamesINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/batemanjames11/Investment OpportunityAre you an accredited investor interested in monthly cash flow from an investment backed by physical real estate?Our income fund -- which is uncorrelated to publicly traded stocks and bonds -- invests in first-lien mortgage notes diversified by geography, property value and borrower type.

They discuss the metaphorical ‘athleticism' required to be a successful leader of a high-growth sales organization, gained through self-improvement and practice.

Practical Prepping Podcast Episode # 84 "Failures In Preparedness, and Specific Prepping Catagories" Please share this episode with friends. Here is the direct link: https://practicalpreppingpodcast.buzzsprout.comThere are times that, if we are not careful, we set ourselves up for failure. We must avoid preparedness failures as we prepare to survive whatever may come.In this episode we look at a number of prepping failures we need to avoid:Not having a plan...Ben Franklin - "Failing to plan is planning to fail!"Not having a preparedness plan is planning to fail at prepping.Lack of organization...Taking a shotgun approach, and not having a plan.A lack of organization makes preparedness much more difficult and leaves holes in your prepping. Murphy's Law says you will find out about those holes at the most inopportune time.General catagories for prepping...Food/waterShelter FireSecurity and DefenseCommunicationsLighting Personal financeSkillsBuying gimmicky, low quality gear...Buying someone else's idea of "must have" prepper gear, or buying low quality gear based solely on price often leads to disappointment, and is a prepping fail.Thinking that buying food, water, and gear is enough...Nothing could be further from the truth. We need some skills, and we need a plan. To do otherwise can lead to a prepping fail.Not practicing with their gear...Having it and not knowing how to use it leads to failure. Practice your skills often!Getting overwhelmed...When we start out, we all realize we are not where we want to be. We all feel overwhelmed at times. We end up trying to do too much at once. Make a plan. Break things down into manageable tasks. Sets some goals, and work your plan. This will help you avoid becoming overwhelmed.Not being consistent...Many got started after covid, but stopped prepping when they felt the crisis had passed. Another crisis will come.Procrastination...Listen to episode # 77 "dealing with procrastination"Caused by lack of self discipline, lack of priority, or just choosing to do something else, we MUST get started and we must be consistent if we are going to succeed.To avoid preparedness failures:Make a plan and work your planDon't get overwhelmedTake it one step at a timeBe consistentSpend wiselyLearn skills and practice themDon't get discouragedPlease consider supporting the podcast by buying us a cup of coffee.

For they are all recorded in your book of remembrance.” (Psalm 56:8)“Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim.” -Vicki Harrison*Loving Kindness Mediation*Grief DefinedThe normal and natural reaction to a loss of any kindConflicting feelings caused by the change in a familiar pattern of behaviors (can be non-death losses- lay-off, divorce, loss of safety, etc) Grief is very unique to the individual ReactionsWe can normalize the symptoms of grief -physical, emotional, mentalFatigueCan be a range- Helpless, hopeless, lonely, even relief. None are bad. Coping Practice self-care & creative expressionYou feel how you feel- don’t try to get yourself over anything HALT- hungry, angry, lonely, tiredTake a moment to get in tune with your body. Journal, exercise, run- ask a friend to check in with you. Support If you’re supporting someone in grief, the HUSH acronym is helpful when choosing your words… Is what I’m about to say… Helpful, Useful, Sincere, Honoring Do’s & Don’ts- Do- share your sentiments, your desire to be there for themDon’t- use phrases that could incite shame or guilt cycles Meaning “Some things cannot be fixed; they can only be carried. Grief like yours, love like yours, can only be carried.…” (Megan Devine- It's OK That You're Not OK)Making meaning VERSUS Creating Meaning Not trying to make sense or comprehend an existential lesson from the loss, but rather cultivating something positive to honor the loss as your move forward. Psalm 23:4- “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me...”“Those who walk the fields to sow, casting their seed in tears, will one day tread those same long rows, amazed by what’s appeared.” Psalm 126:5 The Voice Support the show (https://tithe.ly/give_new/www/#/tithely/give-one-time/678206?giving_to=Woven%20In%20Truth%20Podcast)

In this episode, we are talking about chakras and choices. I'm going to take you through a really fun exercise that my guides downloaded to me all about how to make very clear choices using our chakras.So many of us are waiting until our life changes to make a move. We wait until we have the money, the job, the relationship, or even the health to move forward. But we can always be moving forward in some way! We can always make a choice that is driving us through a period of feeling stuck into a feeling of movement. This is very important, especially now as we end 2020.I can't tell you how many times I've worked with students or clients, who are waiting for something magical to happen before they start living their life. I don't want that for you. I want you to make powerful choices in every moment. So come along with me, and let's get clear. In this episode you'll learn about: -How to get super clear about what you want and why it's important-The meaning of each chakra and how you can work with themDon’t forget new episodes come out every Thursday!If you like this episode, rate it, share it and subscribe!02:22 - Why I'm talking about chakras03:42 - Thinking about moving10:00 - What my guides have to say about it12:41 - Teaching how to focus on what you want18:05 - First Chakra - the root23:37 - Second Chakra - creativity26:24 - Third Chakra - intuition30:57 - Fourth Chakra - heart, empathic, truth33:56 - Fifth Chakra - throat, speaking truth to yourself40:54 - Sixth Chakra - 3rd Eye, visualization43:27 - Seventh Chakra - higher selfIf you have any questions for me, email info@whocanitbenowpodcast.comGet your Guide at marilynalauria.com/guide

“Your goals and prizes should be tangible” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)Very few people understand the the risk/reward bias in human brains, and how it can hold you back from achieving what you want to achieve.Many people have an inaccurate understanding of the amount of pain, or work, that it will take for them to achieve their goals, as compared to the amount of happiness it will bring them when they finally do achieve those goals.This is why humans procrastinate.If they really understood the value, to them, of achieving what they were striving for in all its detail, they would not procrastinate but would be motivated to do the amount of work necessary to achieve that goal.This episode shows you how you can change that subs-conscious misunderstanding in your own life, to help you overcome the instinct to procrastinate, and rather get down to work creating the life of your dreams!Also, make sure to checkout the Tai Lopez Flash Briefing on Alexa!“Change your perception of the reward/pain ratio, and understand how worth it the pain is” - Tai Lopez(click to tweet)Points to Keep In MindYour goals and prizes should be tangibleThe best way to avoid procrastination is to stop thinking about the work, and start thinking about the thing you wantPeople’s tendency to procrastinate comes from a misunderstanding of the pain to reward ratioFind a way to really see, and keep constantly on your mind, your goals and the reason why you are working hard to achieve themDon’t make things too complicated with different theories, ideas and techniques. Just focus on the end gameChange your perception of the reward/pain ratio, and understand how worth it the pain isBuild associations with rewards for the work that you doDon’t focus as much on the process as compared with getting down to real, hard work
For real estate team leaders, juggling work-life balance can be a real challenge. How does schedule setting, waking up early, and hiring the right people give us more freedom in our business? How does leverage increase our production? How can we avoid burnout? On this episode, broker and owner of Healthy Realty, Mikki Ramey, shares insights and tips on how we can crush it at home and at work. There’s a direct correlation between getting really specific with your schedule and increasing your production. -Mikki Ramey Three Things We Learned From This Episode Hire for attitude, train for skillSometimes the best real estate talent comes from outside our industry. We need to pay attention to people in our sphere who are already good at what they do. They could possibly be good matches for real estate. How to avoid overworking yourself As team leaders, we often have guilt when we spend any time our way from our business, but we can’t have a great family life if we’re answering every question. Our clients will be happy getting help and questions answered by other agents on the team. If you want to leverage people you have to trust themDon’t micromanage people, empower them. Give them the room to learn and to fail in their role. We won’t allow them to grow, and we’ll never be able to find out their superpower. Trust is important in being able to gain more freedom. No amount of success at work can make up for failure at home. When we don’t work to have work-life balance, our families and our own health suffer. Leverage is one way we can start getting back our freedom. The benefits of getting a team aren’t just for the team leader, they are for everyone on the team because it means no one will be spread too thin. The more deliberate and structured we are in what we’re doing, the more success you’ll have. Guest Bio Mikki is the broker/owner of Healthy Realty.

Seven Simple ways you can get better at your job.Show up on time When you show up on time, you begin to cultivate a reputation of being dependableIf you are regularly late, people will filter what you say through their perception of you. This usually frustrates people. The good news, however, is that you can easily avoid this problem all together by showing up on time.Choose to grow in your discipline. Set alerts on your computer, phone, watch, shoes, whatever has notifications on it. Don’t book back to back meetings if you struggle with being on time. Leave padding between meetings.Communicate if you are going to be late.A proactive “sorry, I’m running late” lessens the frustration.2. Be preparedCome to meetings having done workStay focused on the agendaUnderstand the counter arguments and be prepared to address themDon’t make up answers. If you don’t know, say that you will find the answer and do it ASAP.Think about what those listening care about. What information do they need to know in order to make a good decision? Some care about budget. Some theology. Some data. Don’t judge what they want to know, provide answers. 3. Be a multilayered thinkerSweat the details when you are presentingAnticipate the next question, and have an answer for itTie what is happening to the objective What are you trying to accomplish, and how does it help move the mission forward? 4. Put in more effort Try three things before asking for helpTry to find the answer on your ownPay attention to what you tried before Projects seem to take way more or way less time than we think they should. Don’t lose your due diligence just because this project is taking longer. 5. Ask clarifying questionsIf you don’t understand something, ask for clarificationThere is nothing shameful about needing more clarification Projects I’ve been on that lack clarity usually lack success as well 6. Stop giving upDon’t stop with your assessment of a “no”Share what brought you to that conclusion, and let others speak into itThe hurdles you see might not be as big as you thinkThe project might be more important than you realize7. Respect the time of others.Before you walk into a meeting or a conversation, have a clear plan of attack. Seek the information you need, and be ready to move on. Consider the time you are taking from others. Don’t demand more time than you need. Free them up to continue to pursue the ministry they have been called to. Bottom line:More often than not, the difference between success and failure is found in our willingness to work hard at the little things.

I grew up with some pretty bad habits. Partying, smoking, not sleeping well and eating all the wrong things. It showed. I was over 200lbs until my early 20's when I finally did something about it. It wasn't until I moved to California when I was 36 that my life really shifted. I found better social influences, I tried new sports, and I pushed myself out of my comfort zone, time and time again. That was the catalyst that I needed to go from party girl to sporty-spice. According to James Clear: Environment is the invisible hand that shapes human behavior. We tend to believe our habits are a product of our motivation, talent, and effort. Certainly, these qualities matter. But the surprising thing is, especially over a long time period, your personal characteristics tend to get overpowered by your environment. Bottom line, if you want to create a better environment for yourself, you have to make good behaviors more convenient, make bad behaviors less convenient and be consistent enough to make the good behaviors, habitual. Here are some ideas to consider with your own environmental setup. What can you do to make your good behaviors more accessible and the bad ones, more inconvenient?Get your groceries shipped to you by amazon fresh or similar. You'll be less tempted to buy crap.Autoship things like supplements, meal replacement shakes etc. You'll know if you're slacking if theystart to pile up and you won't let that happen.Create a home gym (can do in a very small space)Make going to bed inviting. Wash your face and brush your teeth before you get too tired. Have aGREAT book on hand. Invest in the best bedding you can find.Sleep in your workout clothesMEAL PREP!!!!Have smoothies in the AMHard boil all the eggsAlways have a quest bar on handDon't keep wine in the house - buy bottles as you need themDon't center your vacations around loafing around and eating food. Center them around hiking, or exploring a new city or a spaWear workout clothes as much as possible - invest in cute stuffHave rules - no food on the couch, no carbs before noon, etc.Have a pair of walking shoes at your desk at work (and use them)Want more great tips on living a fit life?
