Mistakes Smart People Make, 4 Stages of Learning, Get Rid of Your Head Trash, and More With Noah St. John [PODCAST 89]

Do you know why some people’s success seems to be so effortless? Isn’t it interesting that some people’s success seems to be automatic and others really struggle to get by. Why does this happen? First, you need to know that there is no correlation between being good and getting paid, according to Joe Polish. And it’s true because some people have success habits and rituals, while others also have failure rituals and habits that keep them stuck or flatlining. Today’s episode is with my friend Noah St. John. Noah is a NY Times best-selling author, coach, adviser, and expert at helping people understand what the most successful people do without even thinking about it. You could call them “success habits,” the things that generate automatic success for them. Even smart people can miss the real success breakthroughs they deserve because they are limited by what Noah calls “head trash,” - the things you believe that hold you back. On this episode Noah and I dive into so many concepts that will help you get more clarity, certainty, and confidence so you can have a greater impact, significance, and growth. If you will apply the things Noah has to teach you, you’ll find your success becoming more and more automatic all the time. And don’t miss out on Noah’s generous gift - a free e-copy of his book, “Get Rid of Your Head Trash.” Here’s a deeper look of what you’ll learn from Noah St John in this show: Welcome and what you will learn today; [0:32] Who is Noah St John? [2:54] What you can learn from Ben Franklin and why you can fill your purse when you fix your head; [4:05] What’s missing in modern success literature; [5:37] How you can get 10 times your normal results; [10:20] The things highly successful people do that they are unaware of doing; [13:24] How a zipline experience can show you how to break free from limitations; [16:08] The first huge mistake people make surrounding money; [20:59] Why most people don’t give themselves permission to succeed; [28:50] “Get Rid of Your Head Trash”; [31:55] The thanks Noah gives to his wife for her support on his journey; [34:20] Noah’s final words and encouragement to you; [38:42] And more...

Create An Effective Exit Strategy For Your Business, Work IN, Not ON Your Business, And How To Begin With The End In Mind with Randy Long [PODCAST 75]

An exit strategy is something you need to be thinking about from the first days of building your business. It sounds strange to say but if you’re not beginning with the end in mind, you won’t build your business to be sellable when and if the time comes. Today’s guest, Randy Long, is a Certified Financial Planner, Exit Strategist, and has recently written a book about what it takes to successfully sell a business, “The Braveheart Exit.” Randy and I talk about the biggest mistakes business owners and entrepreneurs make when selling their business, why you need to build your business TO sell even if you don’t think you’ll be exiting it soon, and much more... Build your business with an exit strategy from the beginning, even if you never think you’ll sell it. Why? It’s pretty simple. First off, you don’t know that you won’t need to sell your business someday. It’s better to be prepared than unprepared. But second, and maybe more importantly, you want to structure your business in ways that give you maximum freedom. That means you’ll create systems and add team members that enable you to get OUT of the processes of your business. That way you’re experiencing the lifestyle freedom you want AND your business is ready to be sold and handed over to someone else should that time come. This episode is about the long view - and it’s a view that adds greater value to your life, the life of your team members, and the world.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: Welcome and introduction to “The Braveheart Exit” with Randy Long; [0:31] Imagine you’ve created a great business and sell it for a big profit; [0:47] Who is Randy Long? ; [1:50] The biggest mistakes people have when selling a business; [3:19] The one asset most bootstrapped businesses misunderstand; [6:08] What is EBITA?

The Most Important Thing You Can Do to Position Your Business for Maximum Exponential Growth [PODCAST 73]

Would you like to know what I’d build into my business model if I had to start all over? That’s what a listener asked me in an email this past week. It’s not very complicated. In fact, it’s really very simple. But you’ve got to take action and get it done if you want to be ready for the kind of growth you desire. On this episode I tell you the 3 things I’d build into my business model if I were starting all over. I also help you brainstorm the possibilities in each of those areas so you can get a clear picture of what I’m talking about. There are 3 steps you need to take to put your business in a place where it can experience its greatest growth. The first has to do with understanding yourself and your business. You’ve got to attain an absolute level of clarity about who you are and what you are providing. I call this “finding your magic.” It’s that special thing you do that clients or customers can’t get anyplace else. The second step is a mindset shift. You’ve got to come to an acceptance of the fact that the marketing landscape has changed. Gone are the days of one well placed ad exploding your business. Instead, you’ve got to take a new approach to marketing, which I unpack for you on this episode. Finally, you need to adjust your thinking about only focusing on profit and personal success and start thinking about the transformational experiences you can provide your customers or clients. When you learn what it is you do and how you do it in a unique and life changing way, you’ve got something people will beat down your door to get. That’s it, 3 simple steps. But you’ve got to take action in order to see the growth that you want. Listen to this episode to find out how you can get my free resource package to help you get started.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: Dan’s welcome to you and the introduction to today’s show; [0:33] First, define your magic. Ask the question, “What do I do in my business better than anyone else?” [2:40] What are the 3 things you deliver that clients can’t get anywhere else? [3:22] Second, understand that traditional marketing is dead and what to do instead; [8:12] Consider creating a content model; [10:31] Third, focus on transformational experiences for your ideal client; [14:57] Take action: get your special resource package today; [19:14]   Resources mentioned on this episode: Call 602-246-3389 or Go to www.GrowthToFreedom.com/Mastery   ********************* This show brought to you by Done for You Solutions.

Turn Frustrations Into Opportunities, Identify and Destroy the Obstacles to Your Success, and Learn How to Use The Commitment Mindset Maximizer from Strategic Coach [PODCAST 72]

Would you like to transform your biggest frustrations into your best opportunities? You can. I know it’s possible because I am doing that very thing right now. This past week I attended my quarterly session at Strategic Coach. Strategic Coach is an organization that helps me and many other entrepreneurs and business leaders sharpen our focus and stay on track to accomplish our goals. One of the tools the Strategic Coach team uses is called the Commitment Mindset Maximizer. It’s a simple tool that uses a few carefully worded questions to dig into the areas where you need to make changes. But more importantly, it helps you put a strategy in place so you can actually make those changes. On this episode I walk you through the basic questions the Strategic Coach team uses - because I want YOU to be able to turn your biggest frustrations into your greatest opportunities. I want you to increase your productivity and success in every area of your life. It’s not easy but it’s simple, and today’s episode is going to give you a road map so that you can do it. What would it be like if you could improve just 10% in each of these key areas: Mentally, Physically, Socially, Spiritually, Emotionally, Financially? If you will set aside the time to work through the questions I highlight in this episode, you can chart the course to do it. Listen carefully as I unpack these ideas so that you not only understand what I’m talking about, but so that you can apply it directly to your situation. Knowledge without application is empty, so take action on what you hear today. If you do what I’m showing you, you’ll be able to identify the things that give you energy and increases your momentum. You’ll be able to pinpoint what happens inside you when you experience that kind of energy. You’re going to locate the things that you need to say, “No” to so that you can get them off your plate. And you’ll be able to clearly see the obstacles that are holding you back and develop a strategy to turn those into opportunities. This is one of the most practical episodes of Growth to Freedom yet, so roll up your sleeves, grab a pen and paper, and write down the action steps you need to take to turn your frustrations into opportunities.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: Dan’s welcome to you and the introduction to today’s show; [0:32] What Strategic Coach does for me; [2:13] Getting out of those obligations that have no commitment to them; [3:06] Why entrepreneurship is simply adding value; [4:29] How the commitment mindset maximizer helps you get real about your frustrations and strains; [10:16] What are the things that give you energy and momentum?

Mortgaging the Pain, the Myth of No Pain, No Gain and Living Your Best Life Now [PODCAST 70]

What if I told you that you don’t have to endure lots of pain and hardship in order to get to the place you want to be? How would that change your attitude about today, tomorrow, and the weeks ahead? On today’s show, I’m chatting with my friend Dr Cristy Lopez about the myth we’ve all been told, that you can’t get the things you really want in life unless you go through pain to get there. To be blunt: I don’t buy it. Why do I have to wait to experience joy and happiness in life simply because I haven’t reached the pinnacle of success that I’m shooting for? And why does the climb to that pinnacle have to be done in pain? It doesn’t! …And on this episode Dr. Lopez and I are going to walk you through why that train of thought is a lie. We’ll introduce you to a 3 step framework (3 questions) that can help you identify the key components you need in order to live your best life now. Who are you? What do you want? What do you stand for? Those three questions form the foundation of the 3 part framework Dr. Lopez and I unpack on this episode. They are the questions Dr. Lopez confronted me with years ago that opened the door to me experiencing more joy and happiness regularly.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: Welcome you and the introduction to today’s show; [0:31] Why this topic is so important; [1:23] Who is Dr. Cristy Lopez? [2:30] What research shows about delayed gratification; [2:53] The myth that pain has to precede gain; [5:00] The problem with “mortgaging the pain?” [7:46] What Dr. Lopez has discovered about “And VS Or”; [9:58] The 3 step framework; [14:10] Who am I?

How To Double or Triple Your Sales and The ELF Sales Method [PODCAST 69]

What would happen if you could double the amount of sales you made - with the same number of leads? What would that mean to you, your family, and your company? More importantly, what would that mean for your customers? I used to think that sales was difficult. At times I thought to be successful at sales, I’d have to be pushy or overbearing. However, once I began studying the true nature of sales and understanding that it’s about helping people and adding value to their lives, sales has become something I love to do. You can improve your ability to influence, persuade and sell - and today I’m going to show you how. Truth be told, I didn’t invent any of this. This episode features insights from the study and trial and error over the last 22 years. In this episode I reveal a relatively simple multi-step process you can put in place to consistently generate more sales. You’ve got to understand the sales process before you can be good at it. Every sales presentation is made up of a number of “sections or steps.” What are those sections? The introduction, The Why, The Walk Through, The Price, The Guarantee, Testimonials, and The Ask.

Playing Full Out VS Hiding Out, Discovering What’s Holding You Back, and What You Do VS How You Do It [PODCAST 68]

Are you playing full out or are you hiding out? Playing full out is confidence in who you are and what unique contribution you bring to your industry and the world. It doesn’t matter if you’re providing the same type of things to your niche as others, what matters is YOUR unique approach or spin on the subject. When you get clear on that, you’re able to play full out, with abandon, and make your maximum contribution. It’s your magic that makes it work… “You can still the idea, but you can’t still the magic”. -Walt Disney On the other hand, hiding out is what many of us do when we’re afraid, discouraged, or in a down state. What are we afraid of? Many times it’s dealing with doubt around: “What if I’m not good enough? What if I fail? What if the resources I have are not adequate?” When we allow those questions to saddle us with fear we play small, we hide out, and miss the opportunity to contribute at our very best! This episode is aimed to help you ask the questions that can help you identify where you’re at - whether you’re hiding out or playing full out, and what to do to move yourself forward in confidence, certainty, and clarity. The main thing holding you back is: YOU and The first progress starts by telling the truth. - Anonymous   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: Introduction to today’s show - playing full out versus hiding out [0:32] Taking full advantage of capitalism.

Mindfulness, Living in the Present, and Acceptance VS Settling. Change Your Mindset and Change Your Future with Dr Cristy Lopez [PODCAST 67]

What would it be worth to you if you could conquer the voices of doubt… or the voice that may tell you you’re not good enough? My guest on today’s episode is Dr. Cristy Lopez and she’s going to share the P.E.A.C.E. process to mindfulness and living in the present - and what that means for you is more growth, significance, and impact. Too often we spend the bulk of our energy focusing on things that are external to us, things that are outside our control. Things like other people, situations, worries and fears. When we do that we’re using our most precious commodities, time and energy, to lead ourselves down a path that is not only unhelpful, but also destructive. Today Dr. Cristy Lopez shows us what we can do to get our mind off the things that we can’t control by learning to live mindfully in the present moment, even if that moment is something we’d define as “bad.” It is what it is. That’s not such a bad way of looking at life. She does that by sharing her “P.E.A.C.E.” approach to mindfulness. Those letters stand for - Physiology, emotions, actions, cognition, and extrasensory - and she walks us through each of those areas, explaining what it means and it’s vital that you learn how to put them into practice to help set you free from negative or limiting thought patterns and also to set you up for greater things in the future.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: Acceptance VS Settling, Mindfulness and more (Introduction); [0:33] Why I feel this is a very important distinction to make in your life; [1:07] What do I mean, acceptance VS settling? [2:07] How perfectionism or “I’m not good enough” holds you back; [3:50] Using gratitude to battle mediocrity and perfectionism; [6:10] What IS mindfulness? [8:48] Why “It is what it is” - is a great mindset (acceptance); [10:56] Practices to stay more in the present and in a place of acceptance; [12:28] Why Dr. Lopez recommends using meditation to be more present; [13:36] Using the PEACE process of mindfulness: Physiology, emotions, actions, cognition, and extrasensory; [14:30] Practices I use each day to remain present and mindful; [17:51] How you can receive my free gift to you; [20:05]   Get in touch with Dr. Cristy Lopez Website: www.CristyLopezPhd.com Phone: 602-323-7824 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CristyLopezPhD Twitter: https://twitter.com/CristyLopezPhD LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drcristylopez Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+Cristylopezphd Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvdzg1Nhezc-yy3lAyKZ2Hw   Resources mentioned on this episode: www.GrowthToFreedom.com/66 - last episode about detachment www.GrowthToFreedom.com/58 - with Dr. Lopez www.GrowthToFreedom.com/59 - with Dr. Lopez Headspace App ********************* This show brought to you by Done for You Solutions.

Detachment versus Disconnection, Living in the Present, and more with Dr Cristy Lopez [PODCAST 66]

What would happen if you were able to emotionally detach from the outcomes of any situation? What’s the difference between detachment and disconnection? Think about it. How often are you invested personally in the response someone gives you (personally or professionally)? Or how often have you been attached to the outcome of a sales presentation or meeting? Here’s the truth… If you’re too focused on the outcomes you’ll find yourself jump-frogging from one thing to another in a vain effort to gain false self acceptance and recognition. Today’s episode is a conversation I had with my friend, Dr. Cristy Lopez about the importance of detachment. Frankly, it’s something I’ve had a hard time with over the years and with a shift in focus, you will get greater confidence, peace, and clarity and what that means is you can stay more in the present moment - enjoying the things that matter! This can help you in powerful ways if you apply it, so I invite you to listen, take notes, and take action on what you learn. If you put your focus on personal growth and contribution, things change dramatically. What if you were able to focus on being your BEST YOU? What would happen if you focused on contribution in everything you do with your family, community, church, and work? Dr. Cristy Lopez says that when you can make that mindset shift you’ll find yourself living a more centered, present life in the moments of every day and your stress and anxiety levels will diminish. That’s because you’ll be working on the things that you can change rather than investing your emotional energy and focus in things that you can’t change.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: Intro to the show - Dr Cristy Lopez; [0:33] Why life is a game of adjustments, just like sports; [2:20] What is a healthy way to think of “detachment?” [3:20] What it means to be detached from that perfect outcome; [4:10] How to detach from outcomes properly when focusing on goals; [5:30] Why it’s poison to live by a checklist of performance; [7:48] Better ways to trigger the right responses; [9:45] The importance of progress and contribution in becoming detached from outcomes; [11:10] Why you need to understand the difference from detachment and disconnection; [15:00] How people can use adversity to drive them forward; [17:09] The role anger can sometimes play in fueling positive progress; [17:45] Action steps to take; [19:44]   Get in touch with Dr. Cristy Lopez Website: www.CristyLopezPhd.com Phone: 602-323-7824 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CristyLopezPhD Twitter: https://twitter.com/CristyLopezPhD LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drcristylopez Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+Cristylopezphd Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvdzg1Nhezc-yy3lAyKZ2Hw   ********************* This show brought to you by Done for You Solutions.

Influence, Insecurity, and Clarity on Who You Are with Jordan Harbinger [PODCAST 65]

What would happen for you if you had greater clarity, confidence, and “Charm”? Would you get more business deals? Would you have greater opportunities to find that special someone? Would you be sought out, more successful, or even happier? Today we dive into the strategies Jordan teaches including identifying the 4 main personality archetypes he’s seen in his studies and how each of them impacts a person’s quality of living, their relationships, and their career. Intrigued? I think you’ll want to hear this one. Here’s a simple, actionable thing you can do right now to improve the way others perceive you. One of the intriguing things Jordan has discovered is that every person assesses every other person the moment they walk into the room. In nanoseconds their minds are evaluating, making judgments, and coming to conclusions about this person they haven’t even met yet. You might be disturbed by that fact, but you’d be better off learning how to use it to your advantage. On this episode Jordan Harbinger shares some of his best tips regarding what you can do the moment you enter a room to get people to assess you more positively, think better of you, and make conclusions that are to your advantage rather than to your disadvantage. It’s only one of the many lessons Jordan shares with us on this episode. I invite you to listen, learn, and apply what Jordan will show you.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: What would happen if you had more clarity on WHO you are? [1:00] The 4 personality archetypes for greater confidence, clarity, and direction; [2:23] Why Jordan began his work with “The Art of Charm.” [13:31] What Jordan considers to be his “superpower.” [20:10] The benefits Jordan received from growing up in the Midwest; [22:15] The future; [24:04] The biggest challenge most people face (when building charm); [25:57] How you can get in touch with Jordan; [33:51] The things Jordan is working on now; [35:27] What Jordan wants to be known for; [37:30] And more...   Get in touch with Jordan Harbinger Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JordanHarbinger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanharbinger/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanharbinger      ********************* This show brought to you by Done for You Solutions.

Tony Grebmeier on the Power of Community, Accountability on Personal Reinvention and Leading a Successful Inc. 500 Business [PODCAST 64]

What could happen in your future if you could make your past work for you? It’s an incredible thought, isn’t it? Today’s guest, Tony Grebmeier has lived that story and continues to live it day by day as he seeks to add blessings and benefit to the lives of those he meets. On this episode of Growth to Freedom, Tony shares his powerful story of personal failure, addiction and the road back to wholeness. It’s a story that traverses many highs and lows and ends with a man on fire to bring help to those who are ready to help themselves. This is one of those inspiring stories that could turn someone’s life around, so make sure you not only listen to it yourself, but share it with others as well. Everything I have is a byproduct of me admitting that I need help ~ Tony Grebmeier Tony recognizes that his fast track to the bottom was precipitated by his unwillingness to allow others into his life. The way he says it is that he “spent a lifetime pushing people away.” But once he came to the realization that he needed the help of others and that many people had been placed into his life to BE that help, he began to make the long climb upward. Now he is at a place few entrepreneurs reach: co-founder of an Inc. 500 company (Ship Offers) and fiercely focused on adding value and blessing to the lives of everyone he meets. Tony’s story is an example of what can happen when you begin connecting with people on deep levels and allowing those who care about you to speak truth into your life. Be sure to pass this story along to others. As much as any conversation you’ve heard on Growth to Freedom, this one has the potential to truly change the lives of those who might need it most right now, and you can be an instrument of that change through sharing it. Thanks for caring.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: Dan’s welcome to you and the introduction to today’s show; [0:31] Who is Tony G?; [0:39] What Tony considers to be his greatest superpower; [2:56] The lowest point Tony experienced and what he’s learned from it; [5:23] How an event and the relationships there began a change; [10:00] Why it doesn’t matter where you’ve been but only where you’re going; [13:11] The power of community and support in Tony’s recovery; [14:07] How making amends for things has enabled a rebirth; [16:00] What would happen if you told yourself the truth?; [20:10] Why Tony believes you need to be wise about who you get advice from; [21:30] The benefit of true community and accountability; [23:10] The business success Tony has enjoyed after losing it all; [24:48] The power of newfound commitment and gratitude; [28:00] Tony’s advice to those who want to go it alone; [29:46] The importance of being available to help others; [35:00]   Get in touch with Tony Grebmeier Website: www.TheTonyGShow.com or www.ShipOffers.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tonygrebmeier Twitter: https://twitter.com/tonygrebmeier Google+: https://plus.google.com/103751651894691821569 Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonygrebmeier Email: info(at)thetonygshow(dot)com   Resources mentioned on this episode: BOOK: Delivering Happiness   ********************* This show brought to you by Done for You Solutions.

Passive Income VS Scaling, Productizing Underutilized Assets, and the Power of Community with David Shriner-Cahn [PODCAST 62]

What if I told you that almost everything you’ve learned about passive income models isn’t true? And what if I were to show you why and how to fix it? On today’s show my guest, David Shriner-Cahn shares the observations around passive income models and why they may not be everything they’re cracked up to be.

What’s the 1 Thing? (The Power of Coaching & Questions) [PODCAST 61]

Would you like to know the powerful question my coach asked me this week? It was a question that changed the way I look at my life overall and the efforts I’m making in business. Here’s what he asked me… “What are you REALLY committed to?” Think about that word, commitment. It’s nothing more than deciding what you want and taking action that ensure you will get it. It’s that simple. His question made me realize that in some areas of my life I had not defined what I wanted clearly enough… and it’s time to take action! The difference between a dream and a commitment is the action you take. We’ve all had dreams at one time or another, and dreams are wonderful things to have. Dreams without action are nothing more than wishes that will never come true. It takes the commitment to take action to bring dreams into reality. Your dreams are not going to fall into your lap from the sky. They aren’t going to just happen. You’ve got to make them happen by committing yourself to a course of action that will result in those dreams materializing in your life. And it all begins with a question: What are you REALLY committed to? That question answered, will help you define the things that you believe are truly WORTH your commitment, time, effort, and energy. It’s the first step toward seeing great accomplishments happen in your life.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: Dan’s welcome to you and the introduction to today’s show; [0:33] A key question for you to ask yourself; [0:56] How I realized that I was going to do something different; [3:46] What are things you started but didn’t finish?

Busy VS Productive, What Makes a For True Productivity, and How To Choose the Most Productive Thing in Every Moment with Dr. Cristy Lopez [PODCAST 59]

What would happen in your life, business, and relationships if you could be your most productive self? Imagine it - every interaction, every transaction, and every conversation filled with the very best you have to give. No distractions. No divided attention. No half-hearted measures. The goal of today’s conversation is to give you some tools to help you eliminate the distractions that each of us face on a day to day basis. Today’s guest, Dr. Cristy Lopez, visited me in studio to share the tools that enable you to keep things simple, make better life choices, and maintain powerful focus. It’s all on this episode of Growth to Freedom. Do you know the difference between being busy and being productive? Most people don’t. Being busy can give you the feeling that you are being productive but it’s really an illusion. It’s often the case that busy people are spinning their wheels, not really getting anywhere. Dr. Cristy Lopez is an expert in helping people recognize the patterns and habits that hold them back from maximizing their productivity in life, relationships, and business - and on this episode she shares the first steps toward recapturing your productive spark. One of the first things you’ve got to determine is how you are going to deal with interruptions. Notice I didn’t say, “How you’re going to avoid interruptions,” because that’s not possible. You will always have people knocking on your door, calling you, emailing, interrupting - but what are you going to do to minimize the impact those inevitable interruptions have on your productivity? Dr. Lopez says that it takes anywhere from 20 to 25 minutes for the average person to get back into a state of true productivity once they’ve been interrupted. That means it’s crucial that you know how to quickly deal with the distractions that come your way and get back into your productive state sooner. And productivity is not just about business, it’s also needed in relationships. When you are with your spouse or children, is your mind wandering or focused on things other than the precious time you have together in that moment? Don’t underestimate the importance of those relationships.. Dr. Lopez highlights some things you can do to help keep your mind undistracted during family time, on this episode, so be sure you take the time to listen.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll discover in this show: The power of Productivity - introduction; [0:31] What would happen if you could be your most productive self? [0:43] Productive versus busy - what’s the difference? [2:23] Serial interruptions and the challenge of productivity [7:56] How disruptions detract from productivity and performance [9:20] Productivity in your relationships [10:58] How to do the most productive thing at any given moment [15:12] Put a framework into place that helps you be productive. [17:45] Your main concern should be who you are and how you want to live your life [18:38] And more...   Get in touch with Dr. Cristy Lopez Website: www.CristyLopezPhd.com Phone: 602-323-7824 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CristyLopezPhD Twitter: https://twitter.com/CristyLopezPhD LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drcristylopez Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+Cristylopezphd Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvdzg1Nhezc-yy3lAyKZ2Hw   Resources mentioned on this episode: www.GrowthToFreedom.com/58 - The episode with Dr. Lopez: Boundaries versus Barriers BOOK: So Good They Can’t Ignore You   ********************* This show brought to you by Done for You Solutions.

Boundaries and Barriers, Personal Power in Relationships, Overcoming Relational Barriers with Dr. Cristy Lopez [PODCAST 58]

If it were possible to decrease the stress levels you experience in relationships by applying one principle, would you want to know what it was? What if you could increase the amount of personal power you feel in your interactions and overcome barriers between you and the significant people in your life? On today’s episode of Growth to Freedom I’m talking with my good friend Dr. Cristy Lopez about healthy boundaries. Cristy is a clinical psychologist who has been helping people become more successful in their own lives, relationships, and businesses for over 20 years. In Cristy’s work with individuals she often sees her clients break through barriers and limitations, eliminate unhealthy ineffective patterns of thinking and behavior, and get on the path to a more successful and healthy life. Many times those changes come through the understanding and implementation of effective personal boundaries. On this episode Cristy and I chat about the difference between barriers and boundaries, why knowing the difference is vital to healthy relationships, how you can set yourself up to win in relationships, why peace and safety are a direct result of healthy boundaries, overcoming the tendency to be a people pleaser, and so much more. Toward the end of the show I issue a challenge to you, asking you to take the bold steps needed to develop even better relationship habits so that YOU can experience the peace, safety, and settledness of mind you deserve.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll walk away with from this interview: Boundaries versus Barriers [0:32] Who is Dr. Cristy Lopez?

The Simple, 15 Minute Process That Will Generate More Leads, More Sales, and More Profits. [PODCAST 55]

Would you like to know how to package and present yourself or your offer to generate more leads, more sales, and more profits? On this episode of Growth to Freedom that’s exactly what I’m going to show you. Once you see how simple it is, you’re going to be surprised that more people, including you, haven’t been doing this all along. It’s not a difficult process - it only takes 15 minutes of brainstorming with a pencil and paper - but it will yield long term results if you take it seriously and do the work. The process I’m going to describe today begins with a series of simple questions that reveal the danger, needs, and desires of your ideal client. These questions are designed to get you inside the head of that ideal client, the one who needs exactly what it is you have to offer. When you’re able to understand what they think about the problems, pains, and passions that drive them toward a solution like the one you offer, you’ll begin to see exactly what you need to say, how you need to approach them, and what you need to offer to generate the sale. Today’s show will give you a road map that shows you the steps: How to position yourself and your product or service, how to communicate the value you offer, how to phrase your call to action, how to overcome objections, and how to ask for and get the sale. It’s amazing what a few pointed questions can do, but you’re only going to see the results I’m promising if you take the time to actually do what I’m sharing with you: Get your pencil and paper, sit down, and walk yourself through these questions.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll get in this segment: [0:31] How to get to the core of your clients desires; [3:00] Dan Sullivan’s framework: The problem is not the problem, it’s how you think about the problem; [3:20] The questions you need to ask yourself (and I didn’t come up with these) - for greater clarity, productivity, and conversions; [4:15] Rethinking what you offer? (HINT: It’s not what you think it is); [5:22] How to create Exponential Outcomes: What is it going to do for your clients overall? [6:43] How to read your clients minds (market research); [9:08] Identify your ideal client’s top 3 desires (and how you can uniquely fulfill it); [10:15] What are the biggest reasons why your ideal client wants a solution? [11:22] How to anticipate your client’s reason(s) for not buying - and convert more sales; [13:00] Why a percentage of the people listening will not take action; [14:00] How to craft your presentation in a compelling way; [16:29] Why you need to come up with a “step” approach to your solution; [17:23] The importance of a great call to action; [19:08] If you do nothing, you’ll get nothing. How to get people to take action!

Lead and Grow Rich, Become a State Inducer, and Leading Yourself and Your Company to Greater Success [PODCAST 54]

What if I told you that I’ve got a guaranteed way for you to lead and grow rich? That’s the kind of statement that makes your skeptic radar go on full alert, doesn’t it? I’m going to tell you how to do exactly that in this episode. It’s not hype. It’s not wishful thinking. It’s not the typical goal-setting and productivity approach that you normally hear. It’s all about “state”. It’s about knowing how to determine and regulate your own internal state of being and how to be a “state inducer” for others. Even if you only take one of the principles covered in this episode, you’re going to see a way to have a bigger impact, significance, and contribution. What do I mean by determining your “state?” We all have an internal state of being, a default attitude or mindset. It’s what dictates the way we live, the things we do, and how we handle the situations and challenges that life throws at us. And The great news is that no one gets to determine what that inner state is. You get to be the CEO of you. You get to decide how you are going to think about and approach life. Your past impacts it for sure but it doesn’t have to be the deciding factor. You can take steps to overcome the limitations of your past and set a new course that will change the destiny of your life and increase the impact you can have in the world. In this episode, you’ll discover how to develop your peak state and how to stay on track - even when it’s not easy from now on… and how you can Lead and Grow Rich. Make sure to listen until the end, because on this episode of Growth to Freedom, there’s a very practical framework I provide and give you that you can install in your life - starting today.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: [0:33] The reason to lead; [1:00] How to lead and grow rich; [2:20] Success depends on state...your inner state; [3:40] Getting clear on what you want - what state are you in right now? [5:00] How to overcome failure; [7:00] Does failure derail you or set you up for success? (The choice is yours); [10:25] What would have to happen for you to be the best leader you can be? [13:30] The definition of leadership; [16:54] What is a state inducer; [20:00] An exercise for you to determine your non-negotiable leadership qualities; And more...   Resources mentioned on this episode: Get access to a selection of Business Growth Resources today: Call 602-246-3389 or go to www.GrowthToFreedom.com/mastery Previous interview with Brian Tracy BOOK: Me, Inc.

Building a Secondary Income, Fundraising for Schools, and Changing the Future with Matt Miller [PODCAST 53]

How could your life change if you had a secondary passive income coming in every month? What would it mean to you if you could make enough money through your business efforts to make a real difference in the world? Today’s guest, Matt Miller, has built his business on the idea that everyone needs a side income stream that enables them to move their life to the next level. He’s the owner and leader behind School Spirit Vending, a vending company that has created the dream life Matt has always wanted and is also bringing about powerful change in the educational system in the US...by empowering schools to effectively raise funds for much needed resources, materials, and programs. Matt’s a down to earth guy who’s got a great opportunity to share with you, so be sure you listen to this episode of Growth to Freedom. Leaving the Air Force and blazing a new trail, Matt Miller wasn’t sure what he would do. But he knew that he didn’t want to be in another situation where someone was always telling him what to do. Deep inside was a desire for freedom, a desire to chart his own course and live a life of freedom and independence. After selling products online through eBay and Amazon for years, Matt believed that there had to be a better way. When a friend at church mentioned vending machines, Matt was all ears. He figured the machines did most of the selling once they were in place, and that was all it took to peak his interest. The rest is history. Matt has now built his own company, School Spirit Vending, centered around the idea of passive income providing security, flexibility, and wealth, coupled with a belief that he has been placed on the planet to make a difference. And more than all of that, Matt is excited that his business model is transferable, which means that he’s able to help other families find the lifestyle of freedom and impact that he’s found through vending opportunities. On this episode of Growth to Freedom Matt shares how a vending business could be the exact source of income many families are looking for, and provides a way for you to get a free copy of his book, “Live Your Dreams” that outlines the opportunity and impact a vending business can provide.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: [0:31] Who is Matt Miller? [3:11] How to move from here to there; [6:50] Some of the best leadership traits Matt learned in the military; [13:01] Why Matt didn’t take the typical path of becoming an airline pilot after the air force; [16:48] Matt’s biggest frustration with the entrepreneurial journey; [19:16] The insight from Warren Buffett: Delayed Gratification; [20:51] Boundaries and systems for maximum productivity; [25:40] How to create a blueprint to hit and achieve your goals; [31:55] What Matt was known as in High School; [32:30] The power of Gratitude; [33:40] The key strategies Matt wants to share with his children; And much more...   Get in touch with Matt Miller Website: www.SchoolSpiritVending.com OR www.SSVBusiness.com for your free book, “Live Your Dreams.” Email: Matt (at) SSVBusiness.com   Resources mentioned on this episode: Dan’s episode celebrating the military: www.GrowthToFreedom.com/38 www.TotalBodyConstruction.com - online personal trainer.

The Power of Lifebook, How to Maximize the 12 Key Categories of Your Life, and 4 Key Questions for Transformation [PODCAST 49]

What would you be like at your very best? What would happen for you if you had complete certainty around your beliefs, vision, purpose, and strategy in the 12 key areas of your life? Lifebook is a transformational life development system (founded by Jon and Missy Butcher). Imagine being able to get crystal clear on what you REALLY want in 12 key areas of your life: Love Relationship, Parenting, Family, Social, Intellectual, Health, Career, Financial, Spiritual, Emotional, and more… Imagine being able to know the contribution and impact you're making in the world (is real)… or defining the connection and love you want in your relationships… or the significance, meaning, and purpose you’re having in your career and financial life… or having complete certainty about what your love life and what that looks like for you… And then imagine having a blueprint to follow that helps you get rid of the limiting beliefs… replace those with more powerful beliefs, followed by your purpose and your reasons why, combined with a compelling vision of what you really want… and then being able to back that up with strategy. My experience was facilitated by Sandra Garest who is a great example of being an amazing “guide from the side” as she led us through the series of exercises… and incredible discussions. Considering I’ve attended over 100 personal development events since 1992, this was one of the most powerful and profound personal development programs I had ever experienced. Never before had I taken a deep dive into the 12 -key categories this way and I walked out with my personalized blueprint, vision, and purpose. I’d highly recommend this to you if you’re looking for greater confidence, clarity, and direction in building your bigger future. Today’s episode is just a glimpse into how this process has impacted me. I hope it will do the same for you. Grab a pen and paper and enjoy the journey…   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: [0:31] Dan’s introduction to Lifebook; [6:34] How the LifeBook benefits you; [8:37] The 4 key focuses for personal transformation; [10:23] Case Study Revealed: Dan’s “vision” for his marriage (an example); [12:40] The importance of identifying limiting beliefs. [14:55] How you can transform your marriage; [16:07] Finding purpose in your relationships; [17:18] How to write a compelling vision for your relationships; [18:00] The power of questions as part of your strategy for life; [19:38] What might happen if you define these 4 key areas of your life? And much more….   You can get started by taking your own LifeBook assessment today. It takes you through 12 key categories that make up your life; Health and Fitness, your Intellectual Life, your Emotional Life, your Character, your Spiritual Life, your Love Relationships, Parenting, Social Life, Financial, Career, Quality of Life, and Life Vision. The goal is to assess each of those key categories in light of these 4 questions: What is your premise in this area? (your beliefs, good and bad) What is your vision for this area?

The Future is Now: A.I., Robotics, the Abundance Mindset, Peter Diamandis, Abundance 360 and more [PODCAST 48]

How will your life and business be impacted by A.I., Virtual Reality, Robotics, 3D Printing, Drone Technology, BlockChain, and Crowdsourcing? Today’s episode is about today, tomorrow, and the future… and the Future is closer than you think! And what this means for you is that if you are positioned properly and prepared to implement these tools, you’ll be poised ahead of your competition (and not be left behind). And I want to share a few ideas on how you can take advantage and be ready for these emerging technologies and opportunities… Having spent 4 days at “Abundance 360,” (hosted by futurist, Genius Network Member, and co-founder of XPrize and Singularity University, Peter Diamandis) it was inspirational and certainly opened up my eyes to all kinds of opportunities for the future… It was a cross between Star Trek, Back to the Future, and I-Robot (the movie).... Here are some of the highlights you can use and apply today: Mindset: We talk a lot about the importance of mindset on the Growth to Freedom show, and in particular how to develop an “abundance mindset.” If you’re going to make the most of the powerful changes in technology, you’ve got to be able to foster and feed an abundant mindset. Exponential technology: Embracing the changes that are coming to the tech space can enable you to be on the cutting edge of the changes that impact your industry and your life. You’ve got to learn to think beyond what’s possible today to see what might be possible in the very near future so that you can position your business for its greatest success. The crowd: Many companies are already tapping into the resources of the crowd, other people who have ideas, skills, and expertise that helps them move their business and ideas forward. How are you going to act when it comes to accessing the wisdom and insights of the crowd? Experimentation: What are you willing to fail at in order to develop and grow? Larry Page of Google is well known for saying that he counts the number of experiments and failures they’ve iterated as part of the success of Google, and you can see the benefits of doing so. What role does experimentation need to play in your product development, marketing efforts, and advances in your field of expertise. The wave is not coming. The future is now!   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: [0:32] Abundance 360, Peter Diamandis, and your Future [1:54] The future is closer than you think. [3:17] How to tap into opportunities with 3D printing. [4:19] Leadership: Extending the conversation about advancing technologies. [8:24] What can happen as your mindset leans toward abundance. [9:45] The cost of NOT having an abundance mindset. [10:00] What are you willing to fail at for the sake of growth? [13:09] What is the correlation between mindset and technology? [15:57] How experimentation fits into your life and business growth. [19:10] How to stimulate your thinking to get your ideas moving toward reality.   Resources mentioned on this episode: The IBM Watson - www.IBM.com/Watson www.Freelancer.com www.VentureScanner.com BlockChain   ********************* This show brought to you by Done for You Solutions.

Wealth without Wall Street, The Big Short, and Creating Financial Freedom with Little Known Real Estate Strategies with Robert San Luis [PODCAST 46]

What if traditional investment strategy’s were really setup to make the big investors money, yet give you and I as the little guy just enough to stay in the game, but rarely win? Think it’s possible? Instead of playing into speculation, volatility, and uncertainty, there is a better way to create cash flow and passive income sources so that you can set things up to enjoy retirement and get the piece of freedom you deserve. Today’s guest is Robert San Luis. He is an advisor, coach, and best-selling author of “Wealth Without Wall Street: Seven Keys To An Early Retirement.” Robert has spent most of his life trying to learn a better way to invest that provides true time freedom to average people. He’s been an active investment advisor (and gave that side of his business up due to the unethical and unfair way the industry works), a real estate broker and investor, and now he teaches people what’s really going on in the investment world, and how you can create passive streams of income - while creating cash flow at the same time. It’s unique and different, and even Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has taken advantage of this little known strategy. The sad but true reality is that the stock market and the typical investment strategies are stacked against the average person. The big corporations and financial institutions have leveraged their influence to create systems that give them a massive advantage in terms of inside information AND technologies that allow them to make trades before you even get the chance. Robert San Luis has studied the investment industry at length and has discovered proven methods of getting your money OUT of the speculative, risky realm of Wall Street, and into investments that cash flow monthly and provide you the recession proof security you want and deserve.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: [0:31] What to expect in this great episode with Dan’s guest Robert San Luis. [2:15] Why “What’s your number?” is the absolutely wrong question. [4:52] How the stock market and investments are rigged so that YOU are not the winner. [6:10] How to examine your strategy for retirement. [8:10] Who is Robert San Luis? Why did he get into this specializes sort of knowledge? [10:50] What Robert was known for in High School. [13:30] How can the average person compete against the Wall Street Machine? [18:18] What can listeners do to move themselves forward wisely in the investment realm? [20:06] How Robert became interested in helping people with financial issues. [23:55] What would it be like to find low-risk cash flow opportunities that were recession proof. [29:21] Getting started investing in commercial mobile home parks and properties. [32:15] The lowest point Robert’s business career and what he learned from it.

How to make your message an Amazon Bestseller, the Entrepreneurial Lifestyle, and Balancing Business and Family, with my kids Kira and Kyler, and Ric and Liz Thompson [PODCAST 43]

Do you believe that you have a story to tell or a message to deliver to the world? Even more importantly, do you believe that you can get that message out as a bestselling book? It’s possible. Not only is it possible, today I’m going to introduce you to two people who can show you the exact way you can make it happen. My 4 guests on this episode are people I dearly love and care about - My two children, Kira and Kyler, and Rick and Liz Thompson, co-founders of Done For You Solutions and Next Best Sellers. That may sound like an unusual combination of people to have on one show, but if you take the time to listen it will make perfect sense to you because this edition of Growth to Freedom is not only about getting a bestselling Amazon book published, it’s also about balancing your business and entrepreneurial drive with the need for your family to be healthy and strong. Ric and Liz are experienced entrepreneurs and run a company that enables people just like you to get their story into book form and onto the Amazon bestseller charts. They’ve done it with over 100 books so far, and can do it with yours. Ric and Liz are also dedicated to their family and are very skilled at living out the entrepreneurial life and lifestyle with their family in tow. They are the first to admit that there are struggles and challenges when it comes to mixing entrepreneurism and family life, but they’ve been able to do it so far with great success and are eager to share that not only should that be the case for every entrepreneur, but that it CAN happen as well. In this conversation I chat with my kids about what it’s like to live in my home, which as you can imagine, is very much impacted by the world of business and entrepreneurism, and I ask Ric and Liz to pipe in with their insights regarding the struggles involved in doing both business and family as well. My kids are able to share their dreams for the future and Liz and Ric are able to share their great advice about communication, understanding, patience, and hard work that go into making the home/business balance a reality that actually works. And mixed in with all of that is Ric and Liz’ advice about how you can get the ideas and experience that is inside of you, out, and onto the pages of a book, and get it to the top of the Amazon bestseller list. That may sound like a pipe dream, or like something you’re not skilled enough to do, but I think by the end of this conversation, you’ll be a believer in what Ric and Liz can do for you, just like I am.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: [0:33] Dan’s introduction to today’s show and guests: Kyler and Kira, his children - AND Ric and Liz Thompson, founders of Done For You Solutions!

Where are you today compared to where you were 5 years ago? What would you say if I could GUARANTEE you 10X the results over the next 5 years? In today’s episode of Growth to Freedom I’m on a solo rant of sorts. Why am I ranting? Because I’m lovingly, with all the passion I can muster, trying to communicate some very important concepts that could literally TRANSFORM your life. Honestly, these things are that important. If you could just grasp them, embrace them, and apply them to your life, you’d see some unbelievable changes over the next months and years of your life I want you to get this. I want you to see the transformative effects of the things I’m talking about today. And here’s the amazing thing about them… Getting 10X growth is not as hard as you’ve been led to believe. People seem to think that in order to truly grow you’ve got to get some kind of expensive, specialized education or go to some high dollar seminar taught by a guru. But I’m here to tell you that it’s not the case. In fact, on this episode I’m going to tell you exactly, step by step, how you can integrate a few, very small habits into your life that will make a compounding difference in you as a person, and your business and relationships as a result. There are 5 basic skills you need - and I’m going to tell you what they are in this episode. But I’m going to go in depth on a few of them to show you in practical terms what I mean. Here they are: One question to help you assess and recalibrate your direction and focus. My 10X10X10 morning ritual for you to adapt and use. Beyond those two things, I’m also giving you two hands-on tools that you can use to get yourself going. I originally created these tools for myself, so that I could begin implementing these things in my own life, but now I see that was just a step in the process that allows me to provide them for you. In the resources section of this page you can find my Monday Focus Maximizer and my Friday Focus Maximizer. Listen to the episode to hear what they are then download them and start using them. This is a very serious episode because it’s about making the future better than the past, it’s about seeing changes happen in yourself for the sake of your family, your business, and seriously - for the sake of the world around you.

Recalibrating Your Money Mindset, Thinking Like Millionaires Think, and Why You SHOULD Become Wealthy, With T. Harv Eker [PODCAST 41]

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to struggle with money – day to day, stressed over bills, paycheck to paycheck…while others seem to have the money game figured out? What is it that separates the two people? Is it that they were smarter, had a better upbringing or born under a lucky star? The answers just might shock you. Whatever your dreams, todays guest is uniquely qualified to show you how to win the money game. T Harv Eker is uniquely qualified to show you how to win the money game. Harv went from zero to millionaire in less than 3 years, lost his fortune, and then realized that his own money mindset was flawed. He did the work of understanding and reprogramming his own thinking surrounding money to enable him to regain his fortune, build on it, and keep it. Harv made his discoveries about his own faulty beliefs about money through his own struggles. He realized that his "inner-money thermostat" was set for a specific amount of financial success, and that everyone else had a financial set point too. His most profound discovery was that this money blueprint could be changed. During his years of struggle, Harv made himself a promise: should he ever get rich, he would help others do the same. He’s kept that promise, helping over 1.5 million people move closer to the goal of financial freedom. Everyone has a specific way, a specific blueprint to the way that they think about money. That means you do too. If you don’t know what yours is, you need to watch and listen to this episode. And if you do, I guarantee you that Harv will share something in our conversation that will make you rethink your mindset and make adjustments so that you can reach even higher levels of success. On this episode Harv and I talk about his story, why it’s necessary to undo false beliefs surrounding money, the two kinds of habits that impact people every day, the fundamental differences between rich people and poor people (and it’s not the money), and why your real job is to play a much bigger game, no matter what you do for a living. This is a loaded episode and I’m glad you’re here.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll discover on this show: [0:31] Dan’s welcome and introduction to this episode with guest T. Harv Eker! [2:37] The things that motivated T. Harv to strive toward being a millionaire. [4:04] 14 jobs and 12 businesses, and lots of failure before he renovated the way he thought about money. [6:39] What is a millionaire mind? [8:22] How to reset your money mindset in short order. [13:42] Why people are either exactly LIKE their parents or exactly OPPOSITE their parents when it comes to money. [17:26] The absolute necessity of undoing the false beliefs we have surrounding money. [20:38] Two kinds of habits and how they impact you every day. [22:20] What does it mean that attitude determines success more than anything? [24:40] Who would you be at your very best? [25:21] Rich people play the money game to win. [28:13] Why your job is to play much bigger, no matter what you’re doing. [31:30] The good reasons to become rich. [34:09] Harv’s final words of advice. [35:18] Are you playing the big game or the small game? Are you on mission? [37:10] Your action blueprint.   Connect with Harv: www.HarvEcker.com Get Harv’s book: Secrets of the Millionaire Mind   ********************* This show brought to you by Done for You Solutions.

Mark Winters on Friction Free Business Relationships, Visionary & Integrator Leadership Types, and the Power of the Right Business Combinations [PODCAST 39]

As a leader in your family or business, have you found that at times there can be friction in the way you, your partner, or stakeholder(s) operate? One type of Leader is the Visionary. The other is the Integrator. When these two leadership types come together the right way, you get more growth, direction, and impact. On the other hand, when it doesn’t gel, the ride can be incredibly bumpy and in some cases a mess. Today’s conversation centers around his most recent book which he co-authored with Gino Wickman, “RocketFuel: The One Essential Combination That Will Get Your More of What You Want from Your Business.” This focuses on the main point of the book, that business leaders typically fall into one of two categories: Visionary or Integrator. By finding which one you are and pairing yourself with a business leader with the opposite set of gifts and skills, your business can accelerate at full momentum. Mark C. Winters is a seasoned entrepreneur whose business career spans over 25 years. His experience ranges from multi-billion dollar global enterprises like Procter & Gamble and British Petroleum, to startup ventures originally conceived on a napkin over coffee. It’s a background like this that enables him to identify patterns of success as he sees them and apply them to virtually any business scenarios. In this interview with Dan Kuschell, you’ll discover Mark’s passion for helping entrepreneurs get unstuck. Mark has a talent for introducing just the right combination of perspective and process that sparks teams to start moving in the proper direction with clarity or move faster.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show: [0:31] Dan’s welcome and introduction to this episode with guest Mark Winters. [2:18] Who is Mark Winters? Here’s Dan’s introduction… [4:44] Mark’s personal “lowest point” - when he failed the biggest but learned the most. [5:54] Overcoming the drive to do it all yourself. [7:05] What causes entrepreneurs to keep too much on their own plate? [8:10] Why waiting to get the business finances in order is a big mistake. [9:10] The problem of teams reacting too slowly to changes that come up. [10:98] The “V.I.” combination - what is it and how does it work? [14:05] Dan’s “Integrator” score from using the assessment in Mark’s book and how Mark interprets his results. [16:49] Dan’s “visionary” score and Mark’s insights into it. [18:11] A snapshot of a “visionary” person or leader. [20:02] How does this “visionary” aspect apply to you? Or are you an “integrator?” [21:02] Characteristics and roles the “integrator” personality may assert. [23:58] Why the opportunity for “integrators” to reach great levels of success is bigger than ever. [25:24] What happens when two visionaries are together in the leadership? [26:29] On overview of the tools available in Mark’s book. [27:80] How you can connect with Mark and get his book. [28:16] The things that get Mark fired up and give him vision right now. [28:19] Creating a platform to bring together visionaries and integrators:Mark’s private group. [30:45] Imagine the difference that could happen in your business if you could find the complementary fit for your style? [31:25] Can a person be both visionary and integrator? [34:44] Why Mark wants you to take his assessments and totally be honest with yourself. [35:46] How understanding your type can impact your family relationships.

What if this was ONLY half the story? Because it’s one thing to have your why and be passionate about what you’re doing, however if you don’t have a plan or a blueprint, you’ll end up like a boat without a rudder, floating aimlessly or ending up on the rocks. Today you’re going to discover how to build your legend, the power of combining your why with your way, modeling, what you can do to start building your media platform for impact, growth, and freedom with Greg Rollett. Greg Rollett started his first business at 16 years old in the entertainment field, has been a rapper, and performer touring the country.

Get back up.” How to Build Your Legend, improve your positioning, authority and credibility to further your impact, reach, and mission: Identify and use the key stories and events in your life to leverage; Tell these stories in the media; “What are the moments in time you can create stories around -- that are stories worth telling-- and tell them in the media (blogs, shows, podcasts, radio, emails, newsletters, newspapers, tv, and more)?” Two-Types of Media to extend Your Impact and Reach: Mass Media and Direct Media; Create your own media platform to create buzz and momentum today: Email, Podcasts, newsletters, blogs, and more to tell your story; (HINT: If you would have started doing these just one time per week for the last 5 years, what type of compounding impact would that have for you? Start with that first posting); “It’s a lot easier to sell your products and services to followers, fans and Super Fans. Start today by adding value with your own media platform”; Opinion(s) of Authority: You want someone to have a strong opinion of YOUR authority, credibility, and expertise; -Sally Hoggshead Plant the seeds for Opinion(s) of Authority with your Media Platform to get people to do what you want them to do, believe what you want them to believe, to have them take the behavior you want them to take; A Key to Being a Great Communicator: Help people get their story out by asking great questions and being a great listener; Modeling: If he did it, I can do it too, then reverse engineer how he did it. Model by Reverse Engineering other people who have success in what you’re looking to do by asking: who did they meet, what steps they took, what are the jobs they got, how did they do it?; The Powerful Challenge Question from Peter Diamandis to Transform Your Life and Business for Mastery, Growth, and Freedom; What needs to happen to 10X what you’re currently doing? “The things that got you here are not the things that get you there --if you want to grow 10X”; “If you shoot for the moon and miss, you still wind up off the earth and doing some incredible things”; And much, much, more…   Greg Rollett is a serial entrepreneur, media contributor and expert, and can help entrepreneurs and business owners like you tell your story, leverage it, and expand your reach.

“Success is being a servant leader and paying attention to the details”. - Aaron Walker Have you ever found yourself waking up in the morning and feeling like you don’t have a sense of purpose?

Today you’re going to discover 3 words to transform the quality of your life, the power of trusted advisors, dealing with guilt and tragedy, unpacking your past, planning your future, and much more with Aaron Walker. He’s a serial entrepreneur, having run 9-companies -- founder of View from the Top, the Iron Sharpens Iron Online Coaching Program, a husband (married for 36 years), a dad, a coach, and regular media expert having worked with Dave Ramsey (Author, Radio and TV Host) since 1995. Here’s a glance of the strategies you’ll walk away with today: How a divine appointment at a Chamber of Commerce meeting changed the direction of his life, business, and career; How an irresistible offer with a Free week of advertising turned into a lifelong client, friends, and a personal mastermind opportunity with one of the leading media experts in North America; The Power of Masterminding and tapping into a team of Trusted Advisors on a weekly basis (with Dan Miller, Ken Abraham, Dave Ramsey and more); How to turn tragedy into transformation for greater purpose, meaning, and significance (Aaron sold his first company at 27 to a Fortune 500 Company and an accident that changed Aaron’s perspective forever); Why Selling a Company can sometimes lead to boredom, lack of purpose, and meaning – and what you can do to avoid slipping into this empty-stage; “If you don’t have meaning in your life, not moving the needle, or accomplishing something, retirement wears off quickly.” “If you’re working every day to retire and sell your business to go home and sit on the couch and watch reruns of Andy Griffith, get a different purpose because there is more to life going on than that. It is not going to last long playing golf every day and fishing.” The Catastrophe and Tragedy that stopped Aaron’s life on August 1st, 2001- and how you can learn to transform any experience for good; “Do life together.” – Aaron Walker Why Significance is More Important than Chasing Success; The Power of Being the Wings Beneath Their Wings: How an outward focus, empowerment, encouragement, and lifting up others turned a construction company building one or two homes per year turned into the #1 builder for 3 consecutive years in Middle Tennessee (and how you can apply it today); The Power of Asking the Question: What Do I Want? What Aaron taught his 2 daughters (when they were little) in dealing with being afraid, fear, and turning adversity into transformation; “Failure is in not trying, not in not succeeding.” - Aaron Walker “I couldn’t lay in bed at night think would that have worked? That would have killed me, laying there saying could I have done that? Probably. But I will never know, because I was afraid that I would fall down”. “Fear missing an opportunity more than you fear failure.” “Do the thing you fear most, embrace it, and then go for it.” “Use Fear to stay in the center of the road”. “I’m glad Thomas Edison didn’t quit the first several thousand times it didn’t work in creating the incandescent light.” “Failure is not failure, it’s a pivot. It’s one way you’ve learned not to do it. And once that’s out of the way, now what can you do?” “Trusted Advisors that are non-biased provide a different lens of experience and can keep you from failing”; How to Navigate Guilt: If it happened 5-minutes ago, I can’t do one thing about it – apologize, forgive yourself, confess it, deal with it, address it, go forward and move ahead of it; “The Windshield is so big and the rearview mirror is so small because we need to spend more time looking forward than looking backwards”; “I can control what’s ahead of me, I have no control over what’s behind me.” Forgiveness is an incredible gift to give ourselves and others – and strategies you can use in dealing with mistakes; What Aaron learned from his dad about the importance of relationships and relationship capital – and it’s not how much you earn or the material things, but how much you contribute in relationship; “Relationships are what you bring, not what you take”; Developing great relationships is about engaging them in their eye, caring about what someone is saying, caring genuinely, and what I can bring to make your life different and enriching someone’s life; How to Intentionally Build Relationship Capital; “You’re not invincible. Be careful as you’re climbing that ladder. The people you pass going up, if you fail, are the same you pass going down. Be careful in how you treat people”. Pay attention to the details – in your marriage and your business – for greater success; Why thinking we can get away with it will bite you in the future; One of Aaron’s Favorite Productivity Tools: BellionDesign.com – 31,000 Graphic Designers to help you grow your business; “Happiness is a trait – not a choice.” And much, much, more…   Aaron Walker is a serial entrepreneur, servant leader, and can help business owners grow their business for impact, significance, and purpose.

7 Steps to Emotional Fitness, Emotional Mastery and Creating What You Want - Growth To Freedom With Dan Kuschell [PODCAST 21]

7 Steps to Emotional Fitness, Emotional Mastery and Creating What You Want | Dr. Cristy Lopez & Dan Kuschell How often are you in a peak state of joy and fulfillment? On the other hand, how often do you find yourself dealing with stress, anxiety, and worry? Emotional Mastery can provide you greater freedom, peace, confidence, significance, growth, contribution, adventure, and love if you learn how to put its power to use for you. Today’s guest expert is Dr. Cristy Lopez, a psychologist, Coach, and has been an expert on TV shows like Dr. Phil, Downsized, and more. She helps people in transition create the life they want - in their career, business, life, and relationships. She is uniquely qualified to help you achieve greater Emotionally Mastery starting today:   Here’s a glimpse of the strategies you’ll receive today: The childhood experience and simple verse from Luke (12:25-27) that Dan learned in his teens from an article in Sports Illustrated that was a catalyst for his journey into personal development (and how it can apply to you if you find yourself in a state of worry, anxiety, or stress); How to be more controlling and directing of your emotions for greater freedom and peace; Why the traits of ADD, ADHD, Addiction, and more are showing up more often today than just a decade ago; The first step towards Emotional Mastery: Awareness; Check in questions to be asking daily: How am I feeling today? What are the positive emotions/feelings I feel regularly? What are the negative emotions/feelings I feel regularly? (most people can’t express 10 feelings – so if you want to improve your emotional fitness, expand the language around your emotions); The Framework for Maximum Performance: (W.A.A.A) Identify what do I want? Take Action. Assess the results from my actions. Adapt and adjust based on the results and outcome. “Your Emotional State is really a Physiological State. Feeling is the cognitive word you’re putting on it. You need language for your emotional states. Become aware of what’s going on with you, your body and physical states”; If you want greater emotional mastery, learn to master how you use your body better (Hint: you can make a simple adjustment in your body posture or even a move with your face and immediately adjust your body chemistry to create a better emotional state); Dr. Cristy Lopez’s method for greater emotional mastery: Increase your awareness around the language you use (related to emotions). “It’s like a box of crayons. If you have 8 crayons versus 152 crayons, you’ll be limited in the amount of colors (emotion and feeling) you can use.” Transform from negative emotions to positive emotions with a simple adjustment in your body language (The Wonder Woman and Superman Pose can set you free); “Lift your tail feathers for greater emotional fitness”: (Example: when a dog is sad, its tail is tucked between its legs. Lift its tail up. The physiological move adjusts the emotions. The same applies to you); Body Language and Facial Shifts like smiling can transform your feelings and emotions – “…it’s hard to be in a state of sadness and depression when your muscles are physically doing something else. You have control.” Dan’s simple strategy to create an immediate state shift towards happiness: “If you’re happy, it’s simple, tell your face”; The simple technique you can use right now for greater joy and happiness: Look up. (HINT: Try it now. In fact, look up and try not to smile. Reports show it’s almost impossible. Let us know the result); Checking in for greater emotional fitness: “Do a Gut check to get in check”; Triggers- what sets you off? Internal cues, external cues, environmental cues, and/or smells have an impact. “Triggers come from the inside out”; What to do if you (or your partner) have a hard time expressing your emotion(s) and feelings (HINT: identify the underlying core need); “If our core needs are unmet, we act out”; Core Needs: Certainty, Uncertainty, Purpose, Love, Connection, Growth, Contribution (adapted from Tony Robbins 6 Core Human Needs); The power of language: How are you perceiving it and labeling it (cognitively)? You have the physiological state, then cognitively, what are you calling it (the feeling)? And what language are you using around it”? An immediate method to transform your emotions: Shift your posture & language; Why our biggest breakthroughs can come from a time of discomfort and unhappiness (HINT: there is a way for you to control your emotions so you don’t have to be in a state of unhappiness to get your breakthroughs); Emotional Reasoning: labeling what it seems to be – doesn’t make it so (absolutely true). “Just because I feel something, doesn’t make it so. Just because I feel like I’m a bad person (at that moment), doesn’t mean I AM a bad person”; The power of meaning and more accurate language; Learn how to be with your feelings - “Negative feelings can be a healthy place to visit, not a great place to live or stay. You have a choice”; Positive Rituals you can model today for greater peace and freedom: taking a walk, exercise, meditation, sleep, reading, writing, and more… “Your Quality of Life is determined by Your Ability to Navigate Your Emotions”; And much much more…   Dr. Cristy Lopez can help you transform your life, career, marriage, and relationships. Whether you’re a busy executive or in a career transition, she will show you how to build your success from the inside out.

Answer: The Champion’s Blueprint Process. Dr. Jeff Spencer has been a peak performer having been an Olympic Cyclist, and working with executives and world class athletes like Bono, Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, and more as the ‘Conerman’ to help capitalize on the 3 to 5 defining moments for peak performance -- in your life, business, and relationships.   Discover things like: Why Will, Talent, Technique, and Technology are NOT the KEYS to peak performance or success; How Jeff’s Mentor focused him on being ICONIC – and why that distinction sets you up for transformational results; Why your pedigree doesn’t matter for sustainable success; How to create a repeatable process to get to the top of your game and stay there; Why Fear Based Nature may be holding you back from your true potential and how to transform that thinking to the Champion’s Nature; Fear Based Decisions and Playing Not to Lose leads to a second rate life, mediocrity, and one act wonders; The hardcore learning lesson that had Jeff’s mentor taught him when he ‘needed a helping hand’; 3 Core Strategies for Champion’s: A Team, Blueprint, and Advisors/Cornerman; The Definition of a Cornerman and why it’s different than a coach, mentor, or advisor; The 4-Part Champion’s MO – Where are you? Is there danger here? What are the things that have to happen to carry momentum forward? AND, What do we need to know about what’s around the corner so it doesn’t take us out? How a cornerman creates readiness to make pivotal decisions and actions in those moments in for an extraordinary compared to ordinary life, career, and relationships; The “5-Potholes that Knock You Off Track” and what you can do to WIN (starting today); Why sleep, napping, and rest extends career longevity, accelerates growth, and instills greater vision (and how lack of sleep is the fastest way to throw away your career); The outcome of a distracted, clouded, battle fatigued and foggy mind and how it limits you from being able to see around the corner; Why Pacing and Confidence helps you become a prolific peak performer; The First Steps to Greater Success: Leadership, Team, Financing, and Health; The MYTH that if you “Build It and they Will Come” and How this actually hinders your personal and business success; The Homework Principle: If you do the homework, the test is easy – and how this applies today more than ever with a busy world; Why Hitting the Top isn’t the end game – and how Mastery and Becoming Your Own Champion is far more important for sustainable success; Why some of the top executives and athletes blow out with “Success Intoxication” and how a cornerman helps you see around the corner before you get there (predictably); and much, much more…   Dr. Jeff Spencer can show you how to get to the top of your game and stay there while creating a life of meaning, purpose, and contribution to live a lifestyle you deserve as well as a set of tools and resources to make your life what it can be by creaeting exponential value and leave what he describes as the “Immortal Footprint” (exponential legacy).

One of the hot topics this week was direct from the Pitch at the Palace with the Duke of York. Being able to sell yourself is one of the greatest skills you can learn. Here in the states, we can see it on “The Shark Tank”, however at the Pitch at the Palace, the Duke of York was there to watch, listen, learn, and judge some of the top entrepreneurs in the UK. What can you learn from this? Here’s a simple formula: Address a common BIG PROBLEM that creates agreement; Make a BIG Promise (that you are on a mission to deliver). Provide your BIG focus/vision and how it solves a greater problem. If you want to build a billion dollar company, solve a $10 billion dollar problem. Speak about your vision of how you see the problem and how what you have will solve the problem. Next, show and explain why you are committed to solve this problem – and how it relates/impacts them. Show the competitive advantage of why this is different than anyone else who may be pursuing a similar mission or purpose. Get commitments and be direct in your action steps and request;   A sample version of how you can lead in could be: Do you know how (fill in the blank with the BIG problem)…? Or Have you ever been (fill in the blank with the big problem)? What we do is (fill in the blank with your BIG PROMISE) We are THE CHOICE because… (Share a compelling story. The best businesses like Apple, Starbucks, etc…) are built on great stories. Stories Sell and facts tell_. Give specific Action steps (Be clear on what you want from the presentation: What we’re looking for is and here’s what it’s going to be used for, and here’s why it can work for you); Study the process for Ted Talks or access information on Genius Network and the 10 Minute Talk ™ Process at: http://www.GeniusNetworkMastermind.com Get more clarity, capabilities, and confidence and join us for a new show at http://www.growthtofreedom.com   =================== ABOUT DAN KUSCHELL: =================== Dan Kuschell is a success driven business growth strategist, a media contributor, and thought leader.
