Tune in as I weigh the pros and cons of each and share a few tips on deciding which medium is right for you.&nbsp;I also share some interesting facts on why both mediums are worth jumping on, what you can do to get used to being in front of the camera and so much more. If you are still on the fence about whether you should be a podcaster or a vlogger, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.Essential learning points from this episode:By 2022, online videos will make up more than 82% of all consumer internet traffic.The key is to just keep shooting videos to get yourself more accustomed to it.Podcasting has a different appeal from vlogging because it creates an intimate atmosphere between you and your listener.&nbsp;54% of podcast listeners are more likely to consider buying an advertised product which is great for when you are ready to start monetizing your audience.Much, much more!Important links &amp; mentions from this episode:Vlogging vs. Podcasting: What’s Right for YouPick up Chris’ first bestselling book, Virtual FreedomJoin the Youpreneur Incubator waitlist!Browse the Youpreneur FM Podcast ArchiveGet tickets to this year’s Youpreneur SummitPick up Chris’ second bestselling book, Rise of the YoupreneurDownload your FREE copy of the Personal Branding RoadmapCheck out our FREE video course on YouTube!Thank you for tuning in!There are a lot of podcasts you could be tuning into today, but you chose ours, and we’re grateful for that.

Becoming a published author is a goal that many people want to conquer - maybe more than you think. According to a survey, 81% of Americans want to write a book. But even with the desire to write one, I can easily say that the actual process of writing and editing a book is a completely different ball game.&nbsp;In this episode, I share a few guidelines you can use while writing your book including how you can get started with writing your book, what you can do to keep up that writing momentum and why it’s crucial to have a fresh pair of eyes go over your work to help you with the editing process.I also cover the second part of the book process which is marketing it and why you don’t need to wait until your book is finished to get started on it. Whether you choose the self-publishing or traditional publishing route, either way, means that you have to make book marketing your full-time job.&nbsp;There’s a lot of hard work that goes into becoming a published author, but I’m a big believer that everyone has a book in them. I hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast, so grab some coffee, your notepad and get to work!Essential learning points from this episode:You need to layout your reason to help you get through those days and remind you of why you started in the first place.Having an overview of how your book is going to unfold can often guide you back on the right path.Even while you are in the process of writing your book, it’s never too early to start thinking about marketing it.&nbsp;Think about how you can add even more value to your readers to thank them for buying your book.Much, much more!Important links &amp; mentions from this episode:YOU183 - Marketing Your Book All the Way to the Bestseller Lists, with Jay BaerYOU359 - Launching an Online Product or ServiceCreate SpaceJoin the Youpreneur Incubator waitlist!Browse the Youpreneur FM Podcast ArchiveGet tickets to this year’s Youpreneur SummitPick up Chris’ second bestselling book, Rise of the YoupreneurDownload your FREE copy of the Personal Branding RoadmapCheck out our FREE video course on YouTube!Thank you for tuning in!There are a lot of podcasts you could be tuning into today, but you chose ours, and we’re grateful for that.

Content Marketing is the pillar of how I’ve built my business over the last few years, but I must confess: it hasn’t always been the streamlined process it is today. In fact, it was only a few years ago when my team and I felt like we were constantly chasing deadlines and churning out content left and right with no real direction. Fortunately, we got to the point where we decided it was high time to lay out a proper content strategy and the rest is history.What’s important to remember is that coming up with your own content marketing strategy doesn’t have to be a complicated multi-step process for it to work. You just need to always remember who you are creating content for and what kind of content can serve them best then work from there.In this episode, I share a few tips on creating your own content marketing strategy such as thinking in groups of 12 when it comes to creating content, content repurposing and setting up workflows with your team to lighten the load.I also talk about the importance of deep diving into your numbers regularly to see how your strategy is working so far and why you want to be sure that you’re making decisions on firm data, not responding to the latest algorithm update. This podcast is chock full of handy tips you can apply to your strategy so don’t forget your notebook and a pen, you’re going to need it!Essential learning points from this episode:Make sure every piece of content you create either educates, entertains or inspires your audience.&nbsp;People enjoy consuming content in different formats, so don’t be afraid to explore what’s out there and see what your audience prefers more.When repurposing content, make sure that the new piece of content is just as high quality as the original.Deep diving into your numbers helps you see how your strategy is working so far and what changes it might need to reach more people.Much, much more!Important links &amp; mentions from this episode:Content10XHow to Increase Your Traffic with Keyword Research [BLOG POST]YOU304 - How Personal Assistance Has Evolved with Emma MillsPick up Chris’ first bestselling book, Virtual FreedomJoin the Youpreneur Incubator waitlist!Browse the Youpreneur FM Podcast ArchiveGet tickets to this year’s Youpreneur SummitPick up Chris’ second bestselling book, Rise of the YoupreneurDownload your FREE copy of the Personal Branding RoadmapCheck out our FREE video course on YouTube!Thank you for tuning in!There are a lot of podcasts you could be tuning into today, but you chose ours, and we’re grateful for that.

In the Youpreneur world, we’re all about building connections whether they’re on or offline. This is why I’m a big believer in live events. There really is nothing like creating real moments and in-person connections between members.&nbsp;Different communities mean different approaches. You always have to make sure you anticipate what kind of event your audience needs before putting on your event-organizer hat. What works for one group - like a large-scale conference - might not work for a group that is looking for a more intimate setting. In this episode, I go through the different kinds of live events you can put on when building a vibrant tribe to help you decide.Also, stay tuned as I make a special announcement about the launch of our own brand new mastermind group, the Youpreneur Incubator. The team and I have been gathering all your feedback on how we can serve you better and we can’t wait to get this started in the new year.&nbsp;I talk about how it will be focusing on diversifying revenue, increasing profits and developing world-class relationships plus a few bits and pieces on how the mastermind will work and what you can expect!Essential learning points from this episode:The beauty of community meet-ups is that it can be as structured or as free as you want it to be.&nbsp;Encouraging your community members to have their own mini-meetups can be a great way to keep your tribe building those connections.Live events are an amazing way to help forge stronger bonds with your community and get the word out to reach a new audience.Having a core group of peers to give you that nudge in the right direction can make such a difference in how you run your business.Much, much more!Important links &amp; mentions from this episode:Youpreneur IncubatorYOU318 - My Biggest Takeaways from the Youpreneur SummitYOU222 - The Power of Attending and Running Live Events with Pat FlynnPick up Chris’ first bestselling book, Virtual FreedomJoin the Youpreneur Incubator waitlist!Browse the Youpreneur FM Podcast ArchiveGet tickets to this year’s Youpreneur SummitPick up Chris’ second bestselling book, Rise of the YoupreneurDownload your FREE copy of the Personal Branding RoadmapCheck out our FREE video course on YouTube!Thank you for tuning in!There are a lot of podcasts you could be tuning into today, but you chose ours, and we’re grateful for that.

To monetize or not to monetize? That is the question I get asked a LOT. I&nbsp;know so many entrepreneurs that are on the fence when it comes to monetizing their communities because they are worried they might end up alienating them.So where do you start? What should you be giving out for free and what can you offer as paid content for your audience? In this episode, I dive into four different ways you can monetize your online community: blogging, podcasting, webinars and affiliate marketing plus a few of my favorite online tools that I like to use to make it happen.As Walt Disney once said, “We don’t make movies to make money, we make movies to make more movies.” and that’s the kind of mindset you want to have when it comes to monetizing your community. It’s never about “taking” from your audience.&nbsp;It’s all about being able to truly create more value for your community.&nbsp;Essential takeaways from this episode:The success of your blog depends on how deep you are willing to dive into your blog topic and how long you are willing to stick to it.The real monetization of your blog lies in your email list and turning casual readers into true fans.&nbsp;When it comes to podcast sponsorships, it needs to be a win-win-win situation for everyone.&nbsp;Paid webinars allow you to take the pressure off when it comes to selling to a live audience.&nbsp;The golden rule when it comes to affiliate marketing and how you should approach it.Much, much more!Important links and mentions from this episode:&nbsp;DemioGotoWebinarZoomPick up Chris' first bestselling book, Virtual FreedomJoin the Youpreneur Incubator waitlist!Browse the Youpreneur FM Podcast ArchiveGet tickets to this year's Youpreneur SummitPick up Chris' second bestselling book, Rise of the YoupreneurDownload your FREE copy of the Personal Branding RoadmapCheck out our FREE video course on YouTube!Thank you for tuning in!There are a lot of podcasts you could be tuning into today, but you chose ours, and we're grateful for that.

We’ve all come across articles making the bold statement that email marketing is dead. Fact is that email is here to stay, but it’s adapted to modern times. According to Forbes, 59% of B2B marketers report that email marketing is their most effective channel for generating revenue.One of the biggest mistakes I see online entrepreneurs make is not putting a premium on building their email lists. They would much rather be focusing on building their subscriber numbers or followers on social media.&nbsp;The problem with that though is those communication channels aren’t really controlled by you and your marketing strategy could be extremely effective one minute and obsolete the next. This is why having an email list is so important to making sure you get your message across to your audience.&nbsp;&nbsp;Tune in as I dive into a few list building rules you need to keep in mind when growing your email list and how you can go from zero to a hundred subscribers in this episode of Youpreneur FM.Essential learning points from this episode:When it comes to email marketing is that you don’t just want to grow an email list,&nbsp;you want to grow a list of highly engaged, good quality email subscribers.&nbsp;How segmentation can help you deliver a good quality and engaged list.&nbsp;The List Building Challenge: what quick email list building strategies you can use to get started today.The importance of paying attention to GDPR, treating people’s data with respect and not sending them marketing materials they don’t want.&nbsp;&nbsp;Much, much more!Important links &amp; mentions from this episode:Amy PorterfieldConvertKitYoupreneurFM Episode 298 with Suzanne DibbleYoupreneurFM Episode 335Pick up Chris’ first bestselling book, Virtual FreedomJoin the Youpreneur Incubator waitlist!Browse the Youpreneur FM Podcast ArchiveGet tickets to this year’s Youpreneur SummitPick up Chris’ second bestselling book, Rise of the YoupreneurDownload your FREE copy of the Personal Branding RoadmapCheck out our FREE video course on YouTube!Thank you for tuning in!There are a lot of podcasts you could be tuning into today, but you chose ours, and we’re grateful for that.

It’s never been easier to build a personal brand business and there’s really nothing to stop you from becoming a successful entrepreneur. However, thousands of “entrepreneurs” who set off to build their empires from the ground up quit before it gains any real momentum.&nbsp;&nbsp;The problem with the entrepreneurial world these days is the fact that the barrier to entry is so low, anyone can just step over it and assume they can “make it” by doing the bare minimum.&nbsp;The good news for the rest of us is that the people&nbsp;like this,&nbsp;who don’t have the experience and lack the personality needed to grow a successful personal brand business,&nbsp;won’t be around for very long. People can spot&nbsp;a&nbsp;lack of authenticity a mile away and nobody wants to do business with a shell of an entrepreneur.&nbsp;With so much noise, you’ve got to be dedicated in your craft to serve the people you really care about.

As entrepreneurs, something that we all need to be inherently good at (to some degree) is communicating with our customers and potential prospects. Entrepreneurs are innovative leaders bursting with ideas, creativity and passion. Yet, the one thing I continue to see entrepreneurs struggle with is selling.  So, what’s the problem? What has all of these entrepreneurs biting their lips, reluctant to sell their products or services? Well, the most common reason is because they’re afraid of rejection within their own entrepreneurial ecosystem. However, what a lot of entrepreneurs don’t realize is that you don’t always have to directly ask for the sale. If you’re willing to put the hard work into it, you can close a sale without ever having to ask the customer to part with their cash. To help you understand this concept further, I’ve invited Phil Jones onto the show, who is an expert in this area. Listen in to discover how tiny tweaks and changes in the way you say certain things can lead to massive differences when it comes to your sales projection. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Knowledge doesn’t always lead to power, sometimes it leads to you making the decision to not do it  If you’re not convinced what you’re selling is worth the price, you won’t convince anyone else either  Every entrepreneur is in the business of influencing change through other people’s minds  The ability to repurpose after you’ve shot and missed is often where the value is  You will not get paid more money than you ask for  Actively choose the people you want to be around and learn from them  Much, much more!  Build a support network and you’ll have someone or something to fall back on in your time of need. #Youpreneur Important Links & Mentions From this Episode:  Exactly What to Say  Phil M Jones’ Website  Phil’s Instagram   Phil’s Facebook Page  Follow Phil on Twitter  Subscribe to Phil’s YouTube Channel  Connect with Phil on LinkedIn  Get early tickets to the Youpreneur Summit 2019  Rise of the Youpreneur  Personal Branding Roadmap  Sign-up for the FREE Youpreneur Launchpad Training Course  Join the Youpreneur Community and Build Your Business FAST!  Thank You for Tuning In!

Is it time for leaders to ditch the rulebook in favor of a fresh take on conventional leadership approaches? My guest and good friend, Kevin Kruse, certainly thinks so.

Kevin’s concept of a life without rules applies beyond the office and will inspire you to focus on what matters the most in other areas of your life too.

Whenever we mention ‘email marketing funnels’ on the podcast, we’re swamped with questions and queries about them. What is an email marketing funnel? And, what should or shouldn’t go into one? An effective email marketing funnel turns prospects into paying customers using a series of emails crafted to sell a service or product. But, it’s not about sending one sales pitch after the other. Your emails must provide value through educational content that also helps nurture a budding relationship between you and your subscriber. On this solo episode of Youpreneur FM, I dive into how an email marketing funnel works and share the perfect recipe to cook up your first really simple, but effective, email marketing funnel. So, if you want to learn how your emails can turn subscribers into paying customers, this episode is for you! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: You need a marketing automation process that nurtures your audience, eventually turning them into paying customers Almost half of leads will never be ready to buy from you A welcome email should tell your audience what they can expect from you Your lead magnet should be relevant to the intent your audience will have to ultimately end up buying your product Remember to use emails to connect with subscribers after they’ve become paying customers Engage with non-buyers and ask them why they didn’t buy from you Much, much more!

Sometimes in life, you’re fortunate enough to meet a few wonderful people who are making a real difference in the world. One such individual is my special guest on this episode of Youpreneur FM, Jon Vroman. Jon is a dad, speaker, author and founder of Front Row Foundation and Front Row Dads. Front Row Foundation and its volunteers strongly believe in the healing powers of the mind and its ability to nourish the human spirit. They help to provide life-changing moments for people facing critical health issues by giving them a front-row experience they’ll never forget. Helping people in need create lifelong memories with those closest to them is priceless. Jon has also founded Front Row Dads, which is a growth centered brotherhood that brings dads together and focuses on vibrant health, emotional mastery, thriving relationships and intentional parenting. He strives to align dads with the concept of being a family man with a business, and not a businessman with a family. In this episode of the podcast, Jon and I talk about his charities and business, exploring how he has managed to mix profit and purpose to create a well-rounded life and business that empowers others to give back to people that deserve it the most. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Mixing profit and purpose can have a powerful impact on an entrepreneur’s life You don’t need to know all the answers, you just have to be curious People go to events and join communities because they want to learn with people You have to believe that your work is critical enough to change the world People support what they help to create, which can lead to lots of great referrals Much, much more!

I appreciate every single guest that I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing on the show. But, I’ve got to say, having Tom Ziglar sit down for a chat with me on Youpreneur FM is just a dream come true. You may not know this, but Tom’s father was my virtual mentor since I was 15 years old. I’ve followed his journey through the years, and his legacy continues to inspire me to this day. If you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know who Tom Ziglar is, let me enlighten you. Tom is a fierce entrepreneur and the CEO of Ziglar Inc. The business has been going strong since 1926 and Tom strives to keep the Ziglar legacy alive, carrying his father’s simple but powerful philosophy, “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” In this episode, Tom and I talk about the mindset shifts we need to make to sincerely choose to win at what Tom calls, the “wheel of life.” It’s an inspirational and eye-opening chat, so I suggest grabbing a notebook for this one! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: You can’t control the circumstances in your life, but you can control your choices The fastest way to success is to replace bad habits with good habits You need three things to make your dream happen – the right mindset, the right strategy, and the right action What you feed your mind determines your appetite The first step in your journey of choosing to win is to identify the why and the ropes that are holding you down Much, much more!

If I could give you one piece of advice, I’d tell you that you should never underestimate the power of being original. There’re millions of copycats in the world, but there’s only one of you in existence. So, don’t worry about what other people are doing. Let them copy your font or mimic your latest blog post all they want, because who wants a watered-down version of the original? Nobody. On this solo episode of Youpreneur FM, I talk about the power of being an original. We do business in an extremely crowded space. Almost every business idea under the sun has been thought about already, but that doesn’t mean you can’t bring something new, fresh and original to the table. If you want to find out why originality in business is so important and discover how a simple self-awareness test can help you get there, tune into this episode today! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Being original can help boost your business faster than anything else The truth is that our personal brand is what people say about us when we’re not around If you’re truly original, your business persona can’t be copied because it’s all about you Keep doing what you do really well and delegate the things you aren’t good at There’s nothing more relatable to your market than you To create a future-proof business, you’ve got to understand the power of being an original Much, much more!

Did you know that everyone has a secret alter ego buried deep down inside of themselves?

He helps them to discover their alter ego and teaches them how to be more resilient, more creative and more courageous. If you want to find out the secret of tapping into your potential, this is the episode for you! We dive into what it takes to truly transform your life by utilising the power of our own secret identities. It’s a mind-boggling conversation, so be prepared to be inspired! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: No matter what age you are, your creative imagination is your greatest superpower Imposter Syndrome is the massive dismissal of your achievements and an insidious way of demeaning yourself The number one thing people are buying from you is confidence and certainty Don’t be afraid to do what it takes to step into your distinguished self Everyone has an alter ego, but not everyone knows how to unlock this other version of themselves Your alter ego isn’t about being fake, it’s about using your imagination to discover the hero inside and overcome negative feelings of self-doubt and insecurity Much, much more!

Wouldn’t it be great if you could design a business that runs and grows without you having to be present every single day? That’s the dream that most Youpreneurs share. But, for many, it never quite makes the transition from an idea into a profitable reality. I wanted to change that, which is why I invited Mike Michalowicz back onto the show to talk us through the process of designing a business that runs like clockwork. It’s a fantastic episode that I know you’re going to love, especially if you want to design your business to run itself. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Consistently putting your true self ‘out there’ is the secret sauce to success When your business can run for four weeks without any of your active input. It’s positioned to continue on its own Delegation isn’t the assignment of tasks, it’s the assignment of outcomes Every business must be doing or supporting an activity that derives a benefit to the customer When leaders control all of the decision making, they stifle the growth of their business Much, much more!

A video can do a whole lot more than deliver information to your tribe. If done right, video has the power to tell a story that moves, inspires, motivates and captivates the viewer. But, creating episodic video content that people can’t wait to consume takes a lot of time, energy and often times, a great deal of frustration. In this episode of Youpreneur FM, I’m joined by my good friend and founder of Social Media Examiner, Mike Stelzner. One thing you need to know about Mike is that he’s probably one of the most transparent entrepreneurs doing business in the online world. He never holds back. Amazingly, he’s managed to rebrand himself over the last 18 months with his weekly video show, The Journey. Mike and I discuss his show in more detail covering why he launched it and how he was able to use the numbers and data behind his own content marketing to help him discover how his show was (or wasn’t) being consumed. Using this information, Mike was able to make some ridiculously drastic changes to completely transform the show and reach an even bigger audience. Find out how he did it by tuning in to the episode! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: People love stories that have unexpected twists In a day where we struggle to get attention, story is the thing that cuts through Sharing your struggles helps to make you more authentic, relatable and likable Building your personal brand is key to growing your business Use analytics to ‘crunch the numbers’ and make decisions based on your findings Nobody watches videos longer than a minute on Facebook.

This is a proud moment for me as I welcome a key member of my inner circle, Kelly Baader, onto the podcast. Kelly is a member of my Mastermind group, The Round Table, which is made up of ten entrepreneurs that I work with to help shape and develop their personal brand business.Kelly was one of the speakers that graced the stage at last year’s Youpreneur Summit at the Queen Elizabeth Convention Centre in London. Her talk was on the power of her ‘One Framework’ strategy, but it was so much more than that. Many people in the audience were moved to tears (including myself) after hearing all about Kelly’s inspiring journey that led to where she is today.It was such a powerful message that I knew I had to invite her onto the show to dive into the topic of one framework even further and to share with all of you. So, grab your headphones and get comfortable, you’re in for a treat!Essential Learning Points From This Episode:The outline of ‘one framework’ is thinking about your number one outcome that you can deliver to your number one client, with your one solution and with the best current version of YOUThe only way that you can stand out is by knowing your ideal client better than they know themselvesA transaction can only happen if the customer believes that you can solve their problemNo matter what you sell, the transformative outcome everyone wants when they buy from you is to become a better version of themselvesFocus on what you can offer right now and what audience you can serve the bestThe moment we compare ourselves to others, we lose our peace and delude our resultsMuch, much more!Important Links &amp; Mentions From this Episode:Kelly’s website&nbsp;Grab Kelly’s FREE business tips guide(s)&nbsp;Listen to Kelly’s Christian CEO Podcast&nbsp;Sign-Up for Acceleration Mastermind with Kelly Baader&nbsp;Follow Kelly on TwitterRise of the Youpreneur&nbsp;Personal Branding Roadmap&nbsp;Sign-up for the FREE Youpreneur Launchpad Training CourseJoin the Youpreneur Academy and Build Your Business FAST!Thank You for Tuning In!There are a lot of podcasts you could be tuning into today, but you chose mine, and I’m grateful for that.

In episode 324, I reveal an insight into Chapter Three of my book, where I talk about how setting up your website properly is essential to building your online presence and captivating your ideal audience. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Setting up your website correctly is the true start of building your online brand If your website doesn’t reflect the “look and feel” of you, your business niche and your perfect customer, you could create a disconnect between your message and your prospect or client Understanding who you are is the first step in becoming a successful Youpreneur It’s important to make sure your website reflects YOU – quirks and all! Everything on your site (including images and color schemes) should appeal directly to your perfect customer To communicate market domination and achievement, use bold colors and strong, dense fonts You have six seconds to grab somebody’s attention when they come to your website for the first time, so make those seconds count! Your tagline should answer the question, “What do you do?” and that answer must be benefit-driven The best way to communicate with your ideal customer is by creating content that entertains, educates or inspires your audience Listening to your market will almost always produce the best and correct answers All great online homes start with highly valuable blog content Much, much more!

Your personal brand building strategy shouldn’t remain the same year after year. It’s something that continues to develop as your business, and your audience grows. If you want to build a business based around you and your personal brand, I highly recommend you listen to this episode of the podcast featuring the one and only, Gary Vaynerchuk. Gary is a serial entrepreneur, a highly sought-after public speaker and the chairman of VaynerX. He’s made the New York Times bestseller list not once, but five times in his career and he’s the host of The GaryVee Audio Experience, a top 100 global podcast. Gary joins me on this episode of Youpreneur FM to talk about why the time is now to start thinking about building a personal brand business that’s going to take you into the 21st century. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: When you’re an anomaly, you play by different rules Personal brand business owners are making far more in today’s market than ever before The difference between people on top of the personal brand space and those at the bottom is that those on top have reinvested profits back into their business If you want to make a real change, you’ve got to make a “religious decision” to do it instead of having tactical thoughts For a personal brand to work, you’ve got to be okay with the notion that even though you’re giving out free content, it may lead to zero monitorization on a micro level, but not in a macro environment You’ve got to focus on being yourself if you want to create consistency in your business Self-awareness is critical in finding success as an entrepreneur Much, much more!

Thinking about planning your content marketing strategy for 2019? If you want to build your personal brand and business, you’ve got to set yourself up for success by learning the value of planning, marketing and publishing content on a consistent basis. I’ve invited Janet Murray onto this episode of the show to talk about how you can implement a content marketing strategy that will spread your message as far and wide as it can go. Janet is a member of our Round Table Mastermind group and well-known for audience building and content marketing. She’s a self-proclaimed “unorganized entrepreneur,” which makes her that much more fascinating. After all, how can someone who has always struggled to stay organized managed to turn it around and provide consistent, high-quality content? And what’s more, how has she managed to impact hundreds of people’s lives? We explore all of this and more on the podcast. So, if you want to know how to maximize the reach of your content in 2019 and attract the right type of people into your ecosystem, grab your headphones and tune in! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Planning your content helps to increase productivity When planning your content calendar, start annually and then break it down into a quarterly, weekly and daily plan As a business owner, you need to know the key things that will be happening in the upcoming months in order to effectively plan your content strategy It’s better to create one high-quality piece of content per week and repurpose it than to create lots of new mediocre content Think about the questions your clients ask you the most and come up with content ideas that answer those questions Repurposing is about using what you’ve got to get more of what you want Create one piece of cornerstone content each week and get the most out of it by repurposing it into a variety of different formats Get a buzz going about your content on social media by asking your audience simple questions It’s not just about sharing your content. It’s about thinking about how to get people to engage with your content The future of small business marketing is thinking like a media company and not just like a small company Much, much more!

We’ve recently wrapped up our annual Youpreneur Summit in London, and it was an incredible event. Over 30 countries were represented with a jam-packed house of 350+ entrepreneurs. It was heart-warming to see so many friendly faces! I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended the event this year. I’m privileged to have met so many of you, and I hope you walked away having learned a lot and with the focus, inspiration and drive to use what you’ve learned to help grow your business and develop your personal brand even further. In light of all this, I wanted to do something a little different for this episode of the podcast. So, I decided to repurpose one piece of content to serve another piece of content!

We’re living in a world with a population of 7.53 billion people, and although technology has transformed us into a more connected society, we’ve never been more disconnected. We all know that we need food, water and shelter to survive but what many of us fail to realize is that we also depend on human interaction to live happy and fulfilled lives. We need to build meaningful connections with other people to help support both our physical health and mental well-being. This is something that has always fascinated me, and I wanted to dive into this topic further and really explore the value of human connections, not just with how it relates to our personal lives, but also in terms of our businesses. On this mind-blowing episode, I had the pleasure of chatting to a good friend of mine and NY Time’s bestselling author, Dan Schawbel. We talk all about his new book, Back to Human: How Great Leaders Create Connection in the Age of Isolation, and he reveals why the whole “work/life balance” theory is nothing but a myth. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Technology can be used as a bridge to human interaction, not a barrier If you misuse and overuse technology, it can trap and trick you into thinking you’ve got a lot of friends when that may not be true Our humanity is our biggest differentiator, and we need human connection to survive Don’t be fooled into thinking movement automatically means progress – moving forward in society isn’t always the best thing for us Leaders who make everyone feel supported in taking risks, without fear of punishment always result in the highest performing teams Creating a healthy workplace culture benefits almost all areas of your life, both inside and outside of work There’s a cost to working remotely because you’re not fulfilling your human need to connect with other people If you work remotely, try and do more video conferences to connect with your team Flexibility is the number one employee benefit worldwide One face-to-face interaction is more successful than 34 emails exchanged back and forth 73% of the global workforce doesn’t have enough time for personal-related activities You should hire people based on personality and then train for skill because establishing good relationships with your employees makes them more likely to stay The best places to work are the ones that make you feel like you are part of a “work family” Every candidate that applies to work with your company are either going to become an advocate for your company or a subtractor Work/Life balance requires the accountability to construct your day in a way that allows you to fulfill both of your needs Much, much more!

As you may know, I recently took up vlogging. I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical at first. But since I started this vlogging journey, I’ve realized that not only do I love it. You guys love it too! I couldn’t be more grateful for all the incredible support I’ve received, and as a special thank you gift, I’m bringing you Amy Landino’s keynote from last year’s Youpreneur Summit. Amy’s a good friend of mine and a highly respected influencer in the video and vlogging world. In Amy’s keynote, she talks about how you can launch and grow a super successful vlog that can help to market and grow your business online. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: You can make a video with one person in mind, and that same video has the power to affect the many The three main types of content to ensure the sustainability of your YouTube channel is hub, hero and help content Hub is the regularly scheduled push content that gets your current subscribers engaged (60% of your content) Hero content is your “go big” moment that’s designed to raise awareness (10% of your content) Help content is the “pull content” that targets your audience and answers their questions (30% of your content) If you want people to trust your message, you’ve got to share your experiences To achieve a sustainable YouTube channel, you must understand the purpose of your video including who it’s for and where they are right now in regard to their relationship with you You should aim to post on Instagram Stories once every 24 hours, Twitter every 24 hours, Facebook every 24 to 72 hours and on YouTube at least once a week Instead of planning, recording and editing a video each week, work in batches and save yourself time while developing a consistent upload routine You need to consider the culture of the channel you want to post your video to and cater your content for that channel Don’t think of the camera lens as a piece of technology. Think of it as the person you want to serve and try to make them feel like you’re creating the video exclusively for them Much, much more!

As the second annual Youpreneur Summit draws closer, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on last year’s event that attracted hundreds of entrepreneurs from around the globe. We had some fantastic speakers and so, I decided to rummage through last year’s keynote vault to bring you something a little different for this podcast episode. It’s actually a live recording of Carrie Green rocking the stage with her keynote titled “How to Condition Yourself for Success”. Carrie shares some inspirational stories, talking about how she envisioned herself up on the Youpreneur Summit stage and what she did to make sure it happened. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Our thoughts and feelings determine the decisions we make, which in turn, determines the actions that govern our lives The only driving force that’s going to get you to where you want to be in your professional or personal life is you You can build a wildly successful business from anywhere – even from a messy bedroom! You need to evaluate your life as it stands now, think about where you want to be in ten years’ time and create the path for yourself If you’re serious about achieving your goals, you need to get intentional about your success Success is not an accident. You become successful on purpose Your brain can’t tell the difference between when you visualise something and when you actually do it, which means you can train your brain for success by visualising your success! Taking time out for personal development can help expand your mind When you get focused and condition yourself for success intentionally, incredible things can happen. You just have to get out of your own way Much, much more! Important Links & Mentions From this Episode: Get on the waitlist for next year’s Youpreneur Summit Michael E.

By the end of 2019 online video will command over 80% of all internet traffic. Putting myself in front of the camera (vlogger style) is something that I’ve avoided for many years, but it’s hard to just ignore hearing statistics like that that. However, a light has switched on, and I’ve finally decided to embrace vlogging and start to capitalize on it to help take my P2P (person to person) philosophy to the next level. But before we get into the good stuff, let me drop a few shocking statistics that really made me think seriously about starting this vlogging journey: 62% of all Google searches now include video results 65% of humans are more visual learners than anything else 82% of mobile video viewers are more likely to share video content on their phones Viewers subconsciously retain 95% of the message within our videos It’s clear as day that video content is not only shaping the way we interact with each other, but it’s molding the way we do business online. If I’ve peaked your interest, have a listen to episode 314 of the podcast where I reveal the top five reasons that convinced me to finally start taking video seriously. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: You can capitalize on video to get your message out there and build your business Vlogging gives you the opportunity to connect with your audience in a way you’ve never connected with them before Repurposing content into different mediums allows you to engage with new audiences and expand your reach online Producing more visual content (i.e. video) lets you connect with visual learners Vlogging is one of the best mediums to tell your story and share more about your personal life with your tribe If you want to hold yourself accountable to your own promises, vlogging is your answer Video is the future of marketing your business online – by the end of 2019, 80% of all internet traffic will be video!

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again…every youpreneur should have their personal brand running side-by-side their main business structure. Why, you might ask? Well, when you shift your focus and concentrate on putting more fuel into your personal brand, it builds trust. Trust in you. Trust in your brand. And, perhaps more importantly, trust in your business. But the real question I want to dig into and explore in more detail is one I get asked time and time again…how much does your personal brand really influence the overall success of your business. This has been a hot topic over recent years and so I wanted to really get into it with my guest on this podcast episode, Pete Matthew from Meaningful Money. We talk all about his journey and how he’s used his personal brand to grow his business, further his professional career and realise his dream of becoming a published author. It’s a fantastic conversation filled with one value bomb after the other. So, grab a notebook and hold onto your hats, it’s a wild ride! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Understand that it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg to get your message out, you can do it for free The importance of continually putting yourself in situations where you can learn new things and actually take action based on what you’ve learned By 2020, over 80% of all content online will be in video format, which means now is the time to start leveraging the power of video to build a profitable business Don’t give up on podcasting. It’s the one medium that’s likely to keep growing and gaining momentum If you want more clients, you’ve got to put yourself “out there” consistently and don’t be afraid to share more of yourself online When recording a podcast episode, remember that you’ve got to give listeners a reason to visit your website Injecting your personality into your content helps to increase likeability and trust in your business Understanding that when you produce so much content for so long, it really helps to distill and refine your thoughts on the subject Much, much more!

How powerful is word of mouth in business? As it turns out, word of mouth influences 90% of all purchases. The only real issue with this is the fact that most business owners don’t have a tangible strategy in motion to leverage customer conversations in a way that will help them to get more customers…for free! So, I thought who better to talk about all this than the guy (or one of the guys) who wrote an entire book on the subject. Who is this mystery guest of mine, you might ask? Well, it’s none other than Jay Baer, a good friend of mine and somewhat of a regular on the show. In this podcast episode, we talk about how entrepreneurs can use something he likes to call, ‘talk triggers’ to help attract more customers using the power and influence of word of mouth. As you can expect, Jay reveals tons of value bombs throughout the episode. So, find somewhere comfy where you can listen in, take notes and start thinking about your own ‘talk triggers’ that will help grow your business. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: The best way to grow any business is for your customers to become volunteer marketers and grow it for you 50% of your money is driven by word of mouth, in B2B that number rises to 90% Being good at your job doesn’t create chatter, you’ve got to be memorable Recommendations are all about storytelling, so you’ve got to give your customers something to talk about A talk trigger is a strategic, purposeful operational differentiator that compels word of mouth Every business should implement a talk trigger strategy to get people talking and generate more customers The best way to come up with a talk trigger is to map out each touch point between you and the customer, interview customers about their expectations at each touch point and from this, you’ll have a recipe for how to do what they don’t expect A talk trigger is an operational choice, not a marketing campaign Everyone in the business must be behind the talk trigger to make it work Much, much more!

Exciting things are happening on YouTube. It’s the second most popular website in the world (right after Google) and has more than 1.5 billion users. Video is a powerful way to communicate your personal brand to your audience, because people can get a real sense of who you are. In this podcast episode, I invite YouTube sensation, Sunny Lenarduzzi, onto the show. Sunny is an entrepreneur and an award-winning video, social media and brand strategist. She’s blowing up on YouTube, so who better to talk to about how you can utilize video in your online marketing strategy to help build your personal brand business? Sunny drops tons of value bombs, so grab your pen and notebook because you’re going to want to remember everything she has to say! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: If you don’t know where to start, take a look at your most frequently asked questions and create video content answering those questions Research before you record because searchable content will build your momentum Check up on your competition and do a deep dive into their content to see what videos are getting the most views If a video has a lot more views than subscribers, it shows that there’s an audience searching for that topic Keep an eye on trending topics in your industry and create content that’s going to get a surge of traffic The fastest way to grow on YouTube is to include the right keywords in your title, description, and tags The winning formula for coming up with YouTube topics is: Search Volume Vs. Search Pool Vs. Views and Philosophy If you’re a new channel, focus on topics that have between 100 and 1,000 searches per month and keep the search pool (competition) as small as possible Keep your videos concise using the “Hot script formula” (hook, outcome, testimonial) Always end your video by prompting your audience to convert and become members of your community Focusing on the quality of your content is more important than the set behind you Film in small sections instead of shooting one long take Watch time and retention is two of the most important KPI’s that YouTube uses to decide whether your content will rise to the top of search results or sink to the bottom The best way for a Youpreneur to make money on YouTube is to drive traffic to your product or services Much, much more!

We also get into why graphic design is more important today than ever before in the history of personal brand entrepreneurship. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Everything on your website must be designed cohesively and align with your brand and marketing funnel To build the brand of you, you’ve got to have complete control of your website – you can’t build your home on rented land There are 1.3 billion websites, which means your site has got to be more than an online brochure Nobody is going to buy from you if they don’t trust you, so building trust should be your number one goal Eliminate the need for cold calls by leading with value first Offer prospects lead magnets that give value in exchange for an email address Include a second offer on the thank you page, and educate prospects on the next step of your funnel Increase your authority by displaying social proof of your expertise on your website such as credentials, case studies, and video testimonials, etc. Invest in a professional copywriter to craft compelling content and achieve true clarity If you’re sending paid traffic to your website, don’t send it to your homepage, send it to a top-notch landing page!

As an entrepreneur, your website plays a crucial role in portraying yourself and your business. If you want to entice customers and sell online, you’ve got to make sure your website is giving customers the right impression and motivation to engage more with your business. However, a mistake that a lot of business owners make is to assume that their website will ever be done, because I can guarantee that it won’t! In this episode, I talk with website strategist and founder of Melt Design, Matt Eldridge. We discuss reasons why your website will never be a done deal and why it’s something you need to work on continually. He also lets you in on a few secrets of the trade, including what you can do to make sure your website stays ahead of the curve. It’s an interesting discussion packed with tons of practical tips you can implement today, so I know you’re going to love it! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Your website will never be a “done deal,” it’s an ever-evolving and ever-growing entity If your website doesn’t load in 4 seconds, you could lose 40% of your potential audience Your website is more than an online brochure. It’s a full-blown sales and marketing system Make sure your website is always up-to-date and aligned with your current business processes If done right, automation can make a massive difference to your bottom line Sales funnels must build relationships with customers to increase conversion rates Implement relevant auto-response systems to help discourage people from unsubscribing Utilise live chatbots to communicate with your customers quickly and efficiently Save time by linking your billing through your website, so that it can automate to your account system If you let your contacts expire or elapse over six months, they’re dead contacts Talk to your customers straight away with an engaging welcome email If you can get back to someone in five minutes, they’re 56% more likely to convert as a customer You’ve got to provide a clear call-to-action for each of your services Put heat maps on your most important pages to track your bounce rate and help to visualize where your visitors click on your site etc. Much, much more!

Our formal education (such as school or college etc.) may have ended, but that doesn’t mean we should stop learning. After all, the most successful people in the world read an average of 2 to 3 hours every day. If you stop learning, you, and your business, stops growing. In this solo podcast episode, I talk about the power of continuous learning in our craft as business owners and personal brand influencers. But I also break down the pitfalls of not doing so and reveal the best strategies you can adapt to ensure you’re always feeding your mind with knowledge. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Continued education adds to our national income We create new opportunities for ourselves, our staff and our customers Entrepreneurs indirectly attribute and fuel social change by supporting freedom and dependence in those we come into contact with If you want to continue to lead, you must continue to learn Learning helps you to grow as a person and develop your knowledge base Your tribe will benefit from a knock-on effect through the new things that you learn If you stop learning, you’ll stagnate and start to move backwards as your competitors continue to move forward When you learn something new, your self-esteem improves, and you begin to aspire to new and greater things Continually learning builds self-confidence, which is vital for leadership Read more, and if you don’t like to read, listen to an audio book Consider taking some online courses to learn new skills and shift your mindset You never want to be the smartest person in the room, so network more often and meet new people Go to as many industry events as possible because entrepreneurship is a never-ending and always developing career path Much, much more!

But I’m here to remind you of your indisputable importance in this ever-changing universe of ours. Your entrepreneurial dreams matter, and the world needs to hear from you. This is something that my best buddy, Pat Flynn, discussed in his thunderous closing keynote speech at last year’s Youpreneur Summit. That’s right, I’ve snatched his fantastic speech from the keynote archives to treat your ears to his potentially life-changing words. Pat’s keynote speech earned him a standing ovation. And I’m convinced that by the time you’ve finished listening to this podcast, you’ll be tempted to stand up and applaud him from your living room sofa, on the commute to work, or wherever you happen to be listening to this podcast! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: The secret to what makes business work is understanding it’s not about you, it’s about who you serve Not every drawback is a failure, sometimes it’s an opportunity for something greater Your defining moment in life is when you finally choose to commit to your new path Success won’t happen unless you believe in yourself and your ability to achieve your goals You can’t control everything in life, but you can control how you react and the actions you take Make sure your audience feels like they’re in the right place with the right people Take time out of your busy schedule to talk to your customers and build real relationships If you can define the problem better than your target customer, they’ll automatically assume you’ve got the solution Show your audience that you’re interested in their problems and go out of your way to make them feel included When you bring your community together, it elevates your brand and makes it much stronger Offer small surprises to your audience because when you give attention, you get attention If you want to change someone’s life, start by changing their day You can sell and serve at the same time – selling doesn’t take away anything from anyone, it gives them something purposeful Much, much more!

Most entrepreneurs are reluctant to call themselves a salesperson. But the truth is, if you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, you’re selling (or trying to sell) something. Whether that’s a physical product or service, your role of salesperson plays a crucial part towards selling that winning idea of yours. In this podcast episode, I welcome sales coach and business strategist, Jessica Lorimer, onto the show. Jessica helps coaches and entrepreneurs create simple sales funnels that convert potential customers into paying clients. We talk about the sales process and how it’s evolved. More importantly, we break down the best tips and practical strategies for you to make more sales and grow a successful business. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: You’re always replaceable unless you’re the one doing the hiring You have to bet on yourself because nobody else is going to do it for you Show people your human side and don’t paint yourself as a “perfect human being” because people don’t buy from perfect people, they buy from real people Don’t give your audience constant value without selling anything because it can lead to what Jessica likes to call, “baby bird syndrome” Always carry out key market research to make sure you have an audience of potential buyers before selling something new An aspirational seller is someone who has already achieved the end goal that the aspirational buyer wants An emotional seller is someone who uses a personal experience or trauma to sell something to others (such as the learning outcomes) Make your sales process as simple as possible for your customers – leave out the jargon and get straight to the point! Do your market research in advance and discover as much as possible about your ideal customer When it comes to customer objections, you must show empathy before confirming whether or not the objection is valid You should embrace objections because they help you to improve yourself, your business and your sales Don’t let your customers walk away from the sale indecisive about their decision to purchase Put a follow-up strategy in place and learn how to handle an objection without taking it personally Much, much more!

Delegation should be on the very top of your list as an entrepreneur if you want to increase your productivity and grow your businesses. In this podcast episode, I speak with Emma Mills from Mi PA, one of the most successful virtual PA companies in the UK. Emma is an award-winning business owner who has had an incredible journey growing her own ‘youpreneurial’ world. But before she opened her own delegation floodgates, Emma ran her business entirely solo. It’s safe to say that she had her fair share of struggles regarding productivity, but that all changed when she discovered the power of delegation. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Virtual PA companies leverage business owner’s time, so you can focus less on completing repetitive tasks and spend more time growing your business Before you do anything, ask yourself if it’s worth your time and if it’s not, delegate it There’s no manual to running a successful business, so don’t be afraid to take risks! Engaging with your audience and revealing snippets of your life with them helps inject that “human touch” to your business and allows your customers to identify with you Be consistent with your email marketing and consider doing more story-based emails to maintain your business’ authenticity Delegating and outsourcing gives you more flexibility You can’t scale your business without developing relationships with your customers Much, much more!

If you’re a personal brand entrepreneur, I’m willing to bet you’ve had at least one “ah-ha” moment in your career. As entrepreneurs, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and adrenaline rush of a new idea. But before you take a major gamble and put all of your time, resources and money on the line, you need to validate your idea. After all, if you’re not sure whether anybody wants or even cares about your new idea, you risk launching something that’s destined to flop. This is why I’ve invited my good friend, Yaro Starak, onto the show to talk about how you can validate your ideas before releasing them to the public. Yaro recently launched a new business completely unrelated to his personal brand and it’s been a complete success! So, if you want to find out how he did it and how you can follow in his footsteps, pop your earphones in and have a listen! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: An existing audience will make the launch of any new business venture much more successful If you spend most of your day replying to emails, you’ve become a victim of your own success – it’s time to outsource! If you can’t reply to an email in three sentences or less, pick up the phone for a longer conversation Introduce a beta test run of your new idea by reaching out to your email list with a blog post and selecting a few “test clients” who are interested in participating A beta test gives you an insight into how much potential traction surrounds your idea Use case studies from your test clients to help increase validation and social proof in the beginning stages of launching your new business Building trust is about sharing personal insights with your audience Outsourcing your emails allows you to establish both a reactive and proactive emailing system so a potential new client never falls through your fingers Much, much more!

Having the right marketing funnels in place can have an astronomical effect on the success of your business. But, developing a marketing funnel that moves people through the journey to conversion takes time and strategy. So, who better to discuss marketing funnels than the expert, John Lee Dumas. John is the founder and host of the award-winning podcast, Entrepreneurs On Fire, where he delivers inspirational strategies to help fellow entrepreneurs live the life they’ve always dreamed of having. John was the opening keynote speaker at last year’s Youpreneur Summit, where he inspired the audience to create profitable funnels for their business. His speech was so good that I thought… you know what? it would be a shame if that were the last time anyone ever heard it. So… this podcast episode is a little bit different. I’ve pulled the audio directly from last year’s keynote archives to share John’s fantastic keynote speech with you all. In John’s speech, he shares everything you need to know about building a highly profitable marketing funnel that could lead to a multi-million-dollar business. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Your defining moment in life is the instant that motivates you to stand up, take action and discover your “true purpose” If you don’t learn how to “funnel up” before “funneling down”, your marketing funnel will never work A funnel is the journey that your avatar takes from the moment they first discover your brand until they become a client, customer or an evangelist Build the initial momentum and get things going by niching down Your “avatar” is your ideal customer – so make sure you know them inside and out! You must have a content creation system in place to make sure you create content on a consistent level If you created a great piece of content, get the most out of it by repurposing it Don’t underestimate the power of a one-to-one conversation to grow your audience Host live training sessions because sales happen on live webinars Never hesitate to let people know about your offer because as an entrepreneur, you’re obligated to generate revenue Much, much more!

Many entrepreneurs assume that implementing automated systems and funnels in your business takes away the human connection that we all want and need with our customers, but that’s rarely the case. In this episode, I interview a good friend of mine and fellow entrepreneur, Greg Hickman. Greg is the founder and CEO of System.ly, where he helps entrepreneurs come up with systemized business growth plans using proven marketing systems and automated funnels. I’ve used his services in the past to build funnels for my own business, and the work he did back then continues to help my business grow today. So, trust me when I tell you that building systems into your business can not only make you more money right now but continue to grow your business for years to come! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Automating certain parts of your business won’t de-humanize it, but establish a more streamlined and systemized growth plan Before you can implement an idea, you have to implement a systemized game plan using the right tools and technology Most businesses can get to seven figures with one funnel by keeping it simple and not overcomplicating it The level of sophistication required for you to make a sale will dictate the best conversion method When designing your first funnel, design one that allows you to sell over the phone because one-to-one conversations are more likely to convert Always consider the lifetime and the annual value of a client before paying for leads If you want to get on the phone with the right people, you need a process that filters your most qualified prospects from weaker leads Focus less on the features of your services and more on the benefits and results that your service provides Use a simple 4-step approach to get the right people on the phone - Lead Magnet, Video, Application and then get them on call and close the deal! Perfection will starve you from your own success because it’s just another form of procrastination The fastest way for a business to grow its profit margin is to focus on one type of avatar (client), one offer, one conversion method (funnel) and one traffic source Much, much more!

In a noisy world where small businesses are forced to compete against more recognized brands for consumers attention, it can be tough to keep your business above water. Let’s face it…if we don’t have the attention of our prospects, customers, fans, followers, subscribers and so on, we’re done. On this podcast episode, I talk with Neen James about why attention is vital for businesses and how to get more of it. Neen is a good friend of mine and honestly, one of my most favorite people on the planet. She is a member of the League of Heroic Public Speakers and offers practical strategies to her audiences. Neen is also an accomplished author of “Folding Time” and her latest book, “Attention Pays.” Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Attention is the evolution of productivity, and when we learn how to grab and keep people’s attention, we make more money, and we get more done Attention drives productivity, profitability, and accountability We pay attention in three ways: personal, professional and global Personal attention is about being thoughtful and thinking about who deserves our attention Professional attention is about what deserves our attention and being productive Global attention is about being responsible with focus on how we pay attention in the world Don’t underestimate the power of a handwritten note to add a personal touch and show your appreciation Try to invest 15-minutes a day and identify your top 3 non-negotiable activities that will move you closer to achieving your goals Multi-tasking isn’t always the answer – each time you change tasks, your brain takes 23 minutes to regain focus Public accountability drives private accountability, and when we tell someone else what we intend to do, we’re more likely to follow through with it You should outsource things that are not your strengths, so you can focus on what’s most important to you and your business If we pay attention to our clients and listen to what they don’t tell us, we’ll be able to accommodate them better Ask more targeted questions to your clients to get to the heart of what’s really going on and find out what they need from you and your business Much, much more!

I am sure that you’ve heard about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which it came into effect on May 25th, 2018. It’s basically a stronger set of rules on EU data protection, which changes how businesses handle their customers' personal information and as a result, people have more control over their personal data. But what does it mean for your online business? When GDPR came into effect, everyone was freaking out about it because nobody really understood what it meant. So, to ease everyone’s fears and clear up some of the confusion, I invited data law protection expert, Suzanne Dibble, onto the show. Suzanne used to work as a business lawyer at the largest law firm in the world – literally. In 2010, she switched her focus from keeping household names and huge multi-nationals out of trouble to helping small business owners protect and scale their business. She’s a natural entrepreneur at heart and always provides practical and relevant advice to each of her clients. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: GDPR is a supercharged data protection law that replaces the previous 1995 Data Protection Directive Data is the world’s most valuable asset – so it’s important to protect it The maximum fine for a GDPR data breach is €20m or 4% of your global turnover in the last 12 months You must have a lawful ground for processing data which includes consent, contractual, legal and legitimate interests You don’t necessarily need to get an “opt-in consent” from existing customers to continue to market to them Your privacy notice must clearly state that people can object to the processing on the grounds of legitimate interests Use this opportunity to clean up your email list and sort out the subscribers who engage with you from those who never open your emails GDPR has amplified the standard of consent. There must be an affirmative action by the individual that signifies their consent It’s not mandatory that you need to have a double opt-in, but you may need it when dealing with special category data or sensitive data (such as health information) Don’t bundle all of your consent boxes together - you need to give people real choice and control Controllers can only use processors and virtual assistants outside the EU if they are GDPR compliant Much, much more!

Public speaking can be a really daunting prospect for many of us. The fear that we’ll humiliate ourselves in front of a live audience is enough to make anyone sweat buckets before a live event! But if you can just make them laugh, you’ll immediately ease the tension in the room and boost your own self-confidence so that you can give a world-class talk without choking on stage. On this podcast episode, I speak with David Nihill about how to be funnier in your public speaking, presentations, live broadcasts, YouTube videos and even on your podcast! David is an author, producer, entrepreneur and funny man from Dublin, Ireland. He is the best-selling author of “Do You Talk Funny?” and the founder of the FunnyBizz Conference. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: The value of humor is that it can be used to grab and hold people’s attention You may not be able to overcome your fear of public speaking, but you can learn how to manage it Create a “happy journal” and fill it with funny content ideas that you can look back on Inject short personal stories into your presentation and follow up it with, “I told you that story because…” to really grab people’s attention Always try and put the punchline of your story at the very end of the sentence to facilitate time for laughter If you’re worried that a joke will fall flat, avoid telling jokes and tell a funny story instead Acknowledging a fail is the easiest way to overcome awkwardness and make the audience laugh Focus on content over delivery until you get paid to speak Link the start of your speech to the end and try to leave them with three key learning elements If you’re showing slides and images during your presentation, you need to set it up and use it alongside (or instead of) your punchline Much, much more!

There’s nothing quite like the thrill and excitement of attending a live event or conference. As an entrepreneur, you can benefit massively from attending a live event, especially if you want to network and build relationships with like-minded people who just “get it”. After hosting the first ever, wonderfully successful Youpreneur Summit conference in November in London last year, I’ve decided to do it all over again this year! We had 375 people flood into the Queen Elizabeth Convention Centre in London last November, and 37 countries were represented by entrepreneurs from all over the world. It was an incredible experience and tickets flew off the shelf! So, I hope to see you all again and maybe a few new faces at the Youpreneur Summit this November. You can grab your tickets now by hopping over here - move quickly for early-bird ticket prices! On this podcast episode, I talk about live events and how you can get the most out of them. I truly believe that for all business builders it’s so important to attend live events on a regular basis. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: You MUST turn up with the right mindset to get the most out of the event Your attitude can either make or break the event for you – a positive outlook will give you a positive experience Always try and find out the event schedule in advance so you can plan your time as efficiently as possible Make a “hot list” of the important people you want to meet Following the event hashtag prior to the event taking place will help you to meet the right people Don’t throw business cards at someone you’ve just met – you don’t want to be that person at a live business conference! Collect your notes from the event and organize them in a way that’s easy to follow Interact with people you meet with a friendly follow-up via the social media channel in which they are most active You can build your business FASTER if you surround yourself with people who truly understand what it means to be an entrepreneur Much, much more!

Building your personal brand takes a lot of hard work and dedication. It’s about you, your personality and passions but more importantly, it’s about what you can do and how you can serve others. I’ve had a lot of young people on the show lately and this week’s guest is just 21 (but she doesn’t talk like a 21-year-old!). Lauren got in touch with me after she picked up my book, “Rise of the Youpreneur” and reached out to me. Lauren is a professional health and fitness coach with over 120,000 followers on Instagram. She’s doing an incredible job utilising the platform to help build her brand and she has a real fresh outlook on entrepreneurship and business. Lauren struggled with weight issues as a teen until one day she decided enough was enough. She discovered weight lifting and how to lose weight healthily and launched an Instagram account to track her fitness journey. She realized that people were interested in what she was doing and what she had to say, especially when she gave value to her audience. It wasn’t long before her followers wanted to buy her products and so, Lauren made the difficult decision to drop out of university, quit her job, and embark on her personal brand journey – and she couldn’t be happier! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Remember that your online presence can have a massive impact on your reputation AND your brand You can take your own experiences and personal trials to offer support to others Don’t let anyone else in your life stop you from going after what you want Branching out of your industry is possible if you know how to do it RIGHT Providing valuable content to your target audience is the key to building and maintaining a successful brand and a loyal following Staying focused on your message and keeping it aligned with your business model will help attract the right people to your business It’s worth taking risks when you’re young because you’ve got time to recuperate if it doesn’t go as planned If you start thinking less about failing and more about succeeding, you’re more likely to do great things with your life Much, much more!  Important Links & Mentions From this Episode: Lauren Tickner’s website Lauren’s Instagram Account  Lauren’s Fitness E-Book Guides  Lauren’s Impact Through Influence Course Rise of the Youpreneur Personal Branding Roadmap  Sign-up for the FREE Youpreneur Launchpad Training Course  Join the Youpreneur Community and Build Your Business FAST!    For more information and to listen to previous episodes click here.

Goals aren’t exclusively for the start of the new year, and you should always revisit and re-evaluate your goals as the year progresses. A comment I saw on the private Youpreneur community forums, where members of the Youpreneur Mastermind Community receive real-time advice, encouragement, and accountability to help them reach their goals, inspired this podcast episode. The comment that caught my eye was from a Youpreneur member who said she wanted to become a higher paid speaker by the end of the year.  The problem with her goal was the fact that it was far too vague. She needed to get down to the nitty-gritty details such as how much she wanted to get paid, how she was going to do it and when. Asking her these questions forced her to go back to the drawing board and start reverse-engineering her big goal into a set of smaller, more manageable targets that she could actually achieve. This podcast episode is all about how to break down your big goals, because if you do…trust me…you’ll achieve so much more! Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Breaking down bigger goals into smaller goals can help you achieve MORE Create a timeline of attainable tasks with realistic deadlines Avoid setting yourself up for failure by giving yourself enough time to achieve your smaller goals Reverse-engineering your big goal into smaller steps will keep your mind focused and prevent you from giving up Revisiting your goals each month helps to keep yourself on track Much, much more!

Nowadays, business owners face a relentless workload of pressing tasks and impossible deadlines. More often than not, it can feel like a cascading avalanche is about to come crashing down on you. A lot of people in a situation like this one, find themselves asking “How can I manage all of this on my own?” In this episode, my good friend Jess Ostroff joins the show to talk about her growth as a personal brand entrepreneur, building her business ‘Don’t Panic Management’ and how virtual assistants are making a HUGE difference. This is a first for Youpreneur FM and for me personally, having been known as the ‘go to’ person for all things virtual team building and virtual assistants for a long time I’ve never interviewed someone on one of my specialist subjects! Jess identifies herself as an ‘anti-rule follower’ and has always strived to help people get out of their own way so that they can discover their true potential. She launched ‘Don’t Panic Management’ in 2011 and it has quickly become one of the most successful virtual assistant businesses online today. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Think of a virtual assistant as a ‘thoughtful partner’ and someone who you can trust and rely on to help grow your business Even self-proclaimed ‘workaholics’ need to find the balance between work and family life because working 24/7 is not sustainable We are only as good as our bodies, so put your health FIRST and your business SECOND If you aren’t doing a certain task yourself that doesn’t make you a failure Spend time creating systems and processes that other people can follow Writing a book is the easiest way to position yourself as a thought leader Half of the US workforce will be virtual by 2020 Hiring somebody regardless of their location is one of the biggest barriers employers have to overcome if they want to grow their business without restrictions You don’t have to be located in the ‘big cities’ to make a difference Much, much more!

In this episode, I share the origin story of my latest book Rise of the Youpreneur, how the initial idea wasn't meant for a book and what was the catalyst to turn it into the book it is today. I also talk about how we developed the Youpreneur Roadmap, the difference in my working process between my two books and so much more. I hope this episode shows that it doesn't take moving mountains to get a book out there and hopefully, it might even light a fire under you to get started on your own book as well!

It’s not very often I speak to television ‘celebrities’ on the podcast, so this episode is a little bit different. Join me as I speak with Joseph Valente, 2015 winner of the BBC television program The Apprentice. Joseph has a very interesting story to share – from becoming Lord Sugar’s business partner to later buying him out, to his current personal branding mission. After ending his partnership with Lord Sugar, Joseph no longer wanted to be known as ‘Alan Sugar’s business partner’, or ‘The Apprentice winner’, he wanted to break free and build his personal brand. The first step he took towards building his personal brand was writing a book. Today he creates a lot of online content. In the episode Joseph and I talk about creating the right content to connect with your target audience. I had a really fascinating conversation with Joseph. He talked about developing a hunger and fire in his belly at the age 4 (which led to him to winning The Apprentice), which is still very much within him. However, he is now more educated and experienced, and has really developed as a business man. He wants to help and mentor others and is launching the The Joseph Valente Academy later this year. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: Business partnerships do not need to last forever and it’s important to regularly assess if you have a shared vision Only you can take control of your personal brand – don’t let it be defined by others Why it’s important to test your content on different channels to find your tribe When it comes to social media, focus on being where you are happiest How to work out what content to create by looking at what is trending and where you can add value Much, much more!
