This week, we've got a special episode of The Unstoppable CEO™ Podcast. Normally, I'm the one doing the interviewing, but not this week…My buddy and client John Curry “hijacked” one of our recent Roundtable calls for subscribers to The Unstoppable CEO Confidential, and put ME on the hotseat.I think you're really going to like this…Inside I share the 7 principles that guide all of our marketing and every piece of marketing we help our clients build.Listen to this and you'll have a “checklist” for every marketing and sales effort in your business.
In today's episode, I chat with Steve Gordon, the Talahassee-based Founder of Unstoppable CEO Press, an organization supporting abundance-minded entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals with packaging their best ideas and using them to attract meaningful clients. Steve's also a prolific net-worker. We were introduced through a mutual contact, and it quickly became clear that our lives had several parallels. We each had stories regarding the transition from corporate executive to entrepreneur. We each believe in the power of thought leadership in building your brand. And we bonded over a shared bias for action. Steve's passionate about writing books, and he helps leaders and entrepreneurs alike go from idea to publishing in 90 days. As someone who's been thinking a lot lately about writing a book myself, Steve was able to dispel some tired myths for me. Writing books is hard. It takes forever, And you'll need to spend weeks, if not months, promoting your title if it's to get any attention in a crowded marketplace. Steve took apart each of these arguments and certainly gave me a needed nudge towards starting the process of beginning to consider writing a book. Baby steps, folks. Jokes aside, I had a fun time connecting with Steve and hope you enjoy our conversation. Steve GordonSteve Gordon is a 2-time entrepreneur, bestselling author, marketing strategist, consultant, and speaker. He's interviewed 183 of the top entrepreneurs in the world as the host of The Unstoppable CEO Podcast and his books have helped thousands of business owners attract better clients and get paid more.

What You'll Learn From This Episode: Difference of selling advice in selling your product How focusing your referrals is the foundation of all of your marketing Getting a system that drives referrals Related Links and Resources: If you go to www.unstoppableceo.net/sbs, they can go there and download the book, a short book, about 45-minute read, combine using a book and using a podcast to exponentially and continually expand your referrals Summary: Steve Gordon is the author of five books, including the Amazon Business #1 bestseller Unstoppable Referrals: 10x Referrals, Half the Effort, and Podcast Prospecting: How to Land High-Ticket Clients with a Podcast. He's the host of The Unstoppable CEO™ Podcast and has appeared on over 100 podcasts. His firm helps digital agencies, consultants, and expertise-based businesses systematically attract more clients Here are the highlights of this episode: 1:25 Steve's ideal Client: Our ideal client is any business where you're hired for your expertise; consultants or sometimes consulting firms. Anyone who is really delivering their advice and their expertise as their product. 1:53Problem Steve helps solve: The big problem that they have is that selling your advice is very different in selling a product, because 'you' are the product. You have to be the salesperson typically and then run into a phone booth and put up your superman suit, come back out and save the day for your client. It can be very hard to make that transition from salesperson to trusted advisor. And so, what we do is we help our clients build systems that pre-sale their prospects so that when they arrive, have a sales conversation and they have already decided that you're their guy, they made the important choice and all you got to do at that point is work out the charms of the deal. 2:50Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Steve: If you're lying awake at night at 2 o'clock in the morning in the dark with a little cold sweat beating off out of your body and you're worried because you don't know where the next deal is coming from, then we maybe should talk. That's usually when it kicks in for people. 3:33What are some of the common mistakes that folks make before finding Steve and his solution: The biggest is what I call 'dabbling'. When it comes to marketing and business development, people tend to hear about the latest and greatest thing, right now TikTok is on the rage, and before that it was Instagram, Snapchat or LinkedIn, you name it. Today there are more options for you that there have ever been in the history to promote your business. Your biggest risk is that you have an abundance of choice. What we see happen too often is that businesses get caught dabbling in a little bit of this and that, or a little bit of the other thing, and they never really master any those channels for business development. Most of the companies we worked with, they're landing very high-ticket engagements, they don't need a thousand or 10,000 clients in a year, they need the right dozen, two dozen or three dozen. And solving that problem is very different than trying to get that thousand or 10,000, so you can do that very effectively by focusing and mastering one or maybe two channels. 4:58Steve's Valuable Free Action (VFA): The best place to start is to focus on your referrals; that is to me the foundation for all of your marketing. And before you try to go and do anything more elaborate than that, get a system in place that drives referrals. And the one thing that you can do today is sit down and think about the types of information that you need to convey to a potential client to get them to a point that they want to meet with you or somebody on your sales team. These are things that you likely already have around. Compile that together or what we like to say 'package it' into what we called a referral kit. You might put that in a form of a short book, a webinar or some other form,

Something's been really bothering me lately and until just a few weeks ago I couldn't put my finger on it… I work with a wide range of business owners. Some with businesses in the multi-tens of millions of dollars in revenue. Others just starting and over the $100,000 mark. Some grow really fast, almost effortlessly. Others take what can be a painfully slow road. And that bugs me. I've been trying to figure out what makes the difference. A famous old Wall Street Journal ad claimed that the difference was a subscription to the Journal, but I'm skeptical… So I dug deeper. And I did find it. The difference? Confidence. The successful ones have it in spades. And they manufacture more and more of it every day, allowing them to grow faster and faster. The unsuccessful…they have some. But they're often riddled with doubt. And they look outside to build their confidence (and are often disappointed). Confidence is the “killer app” for entrepreneurs… Fascinating. And what's most interesting…the really simple way the highly successful manufacture their own confidence. It's all inside today's episode of The Unstoppable CEO Podcast. Listen now...
Have you ever seen that wooden wall that Marines must climb as they race through the obstacle course in basic training? It's 30-feet high, straight up. In business, we like to construct walls just like that and plant them right between ourselves and our goals. We do it unconsciously…even as a protection…and often we don't even realize we've put up the wall we're staring at. My guest on this week's Unstoppable CEO Podcast is a master at helping entrepreneurs see the walls they've built, and cut holes in them (so you can walk through, instead of climb over), His name is MJ Fitzpatrick, and in this 30-minute interview, he'll help you discover… The right way to approach work/life balance – it's not what you think Why you shouldn't try to be “right” – and what to do instead The power of language to self-sabotage or put you in the mindset for achievement How to shine a light on the blind spots that are holding you back from success The importance of leaving comfort behind to experience real growth How you can find joy in your business – and leave stress out of the equation Listen now...

One of my business mantras is “Cash ain't cash unless it's cash...” I heard that from the late Red Scott. He was the CEO of Snapper Lawnmower and the CEO of Vistage Florida. His point is simple... Receivables “ain't” cash. Your line of credit “ain't” cash. Your brand “ain't” cash. Cash is cash. Sometimes it's easy to believe otherwise in business... In this week's episode of The Unstoppable CEO™ Podcast, I talk with Justin Krane, author of Money: You Got This. It's the best guide to controlling your money, specifically written for entrepreneurs. In this episode, you'll hear... The importance of “return on life” as a metric. Why the old work for 50-years, then retire model is broken. How to understand both sides of the money equation and why focusing only on cutting back is short-sighted. The vital importance of paying yourself first in your business, and how to do it. How to create a plan for the money in your business. Avoiding cash flow problems...'cause cash ain't cash unless it's cash! This is a subject that isn't talked about very often in business, but it's an important conversation. I know you'll enjoy it! Timeline 00:12 Steve introduces Justin Krane. 01:38 Justin tells us how he started off in business, from working on Wall Street to the effect 9/11 had on him to the inspirational talk he heard from a blind Olympic weightlifter 04:39 Justin's philosophy “ Return on Life” is what he considers makes him unstoppable.

I'm fortunate to get to hang around successful professionals and the side conversation that's always going on is this... “How can I create income without trading hours for dollars?” and... “How can I take the profits from my practice and diversify my wealth?” If you've had some success, these are critical questions to answer. The professional services business can be a great place to create profits—done right, the margins are huge—but if you're not “billing” you're not making money. Paul Chase--one of our Unstoppable CEO Elite members has found one way to take some profits off the table, and put them to work for you, without a lot of complication. In this episode of The Unstoppable CEO Podcast, I interview Paul about his unique (and very accessible) method for creating consistent passive income with the profits from his main real estate practice. Timeline 00:12 Steve introduces Paul Chase. 01:36 Paul tells us how he turned around his business model from a realtor to a private money lender and what exactly is a private money lender. 02:29 In private money lending there are a lot of rules and regulations that have to be navigated. Paul talks us through how he managed this. 05:26 Paul credits Steve's book (The Unstoppable CEO) in teaching him to get to know preferential potential clients - Entrepreneurs. 08:02 Paul didn't lump himself all the work. He tells us how and why he called in the experts to help him. 09:24 When Paul had money to invest in real estate but didn't want to deal with the 3 T's (Tenants, Toilets & Trash), it was an email from a friend that lead him getting checks in the post. 11:05 Paul gives us a quick breakdown of the first couple of deals that started off his business. 17:33 Paul takes about the pressure of finding the next deal as a realtor has been replaced by the deals coming to him. 20:55 Paul tells us about the books he's reading now and how he's looking into AI.

If you've got more than you in your organization, you've got to deal with a team and get them motivated to do what you need to be done. I've believed for a long time that you really can't motivate people. They're all self-motivated. They just might not be motivated to do what you need them to do. In this week's episode of The Unstoppable CEO™ Podcast, I sit down with Robert Michon to discover his unique approach to aligning the roles you need with the natural motivations of your people. Robert shares the tools he uses to assess motivation, and how you can use them to align your team. Oh, and Robert shares his “Thought Tracking” technique for clearing out disruptive negative thinking so you can get focused on the great work you're doing. This little tip (at 10:13 into the interview) will help you get and stay at the top of your mental game. Timeline 00:13 Steve introduces Robert Michon. 01:26 Robert starts off by telling us how he learned he didn't want to be a doctor, or work for somebody and how it lead to where he is now. 04:41 Robert tells us what he has learned over the years that has to lead to his success- ask for help, but not from your friends and Thought Blogs. 10:13 Robert discusses the effects of his Thought Blogs has on his clients and just how quickly they work. 13:16 Robert tells us why what got you to where you are won't get you much further and what can push you past 7 figure earnings. 16:34 Robert talks about coaching entrepreneurs, the issues he has collaborating with virtual teams and how he realized to solve those issues. 19:20 “People are already motivated, it's just a question of what they are motivated to do” 22:56 Robert tells us that turnover is expensive and he explains to us why we should try to motivate all employees and gives a real-life example. 30:17 The way you solve a problem, your “how” differs from other people. Robert tells us not to care about how you get there, just that you do indeed end up there. 34:00 Robert gives us two books to read that can help you if you're in a funk and one that he is currently reading.
