HOUR 96: What To Do When You Feel Lost (Brendon Burchard)

HOUR 96: The Charged Life with Brendon Burchard - Episode date 24/11/16: What To Do When You Feel Lost. 

Has a recent situation made you do some soul searching? There can be many reason for feeling lost, and when this happens you need to take action ASAP to overcome this feeling. 

Today I was joined by my wife Christine Franklin and together we’re sharing one takeaway point each. You’ll need to listen to the podcast to hear more. 

Takeaway one: When you feel lost you need to engage with positive friends, family members, a mentor or a coach. The natural reaction is to disengage when you feel lost, but you need to reach out to people you know and talk about your concerns, regardless of what caused this feeling. 

Takeaway two: Reading inspirational books will always help, especially reading classics from Zig Ziglar and Og Mandino. If you don’t have a favourite author to turn to, ask a positive friend or family member to recommend one for you.

Hour 95: Mr Goodlife (Farokh Sarmad) Stop Overthinking INSTAGRAM

HOUR 95: Freedom FastTrack Podcast with Chris Duncan - EP 2: Mr. Goodlife (Farokh Sarmad)  - STOP OVERTHINKING. 

Todays Takeaway Points: 

Stop overthinking if you should or should not have an Instagram account….The answer is simple, YOU SHOULD. 

Unlike Newspapers, Radio and Television advertising, Instagram gives you the chance to show your customers inside your business, something other advertising mediums cannot do. And best of all it can be done fast. 

And if think your customers are too old for Instagram…Think again, because while you’re thinking you’re customers are sitting at home reading the newspaper, they’re sending Emoji poo’s to their friends, so yes, they are on social media.

If you don’t know how to use Instagram, find a course or workshop that will show you how to set it up and use it properly. 

HOUR 94: How To Rock Your Personal Brand On Linkedin

HOUR 94: Duct Tape Marketing Podcast with John Jantsch - podcast date 16/11/16 How To Rock Your Personal Brand On Linkedin with Viveka von Rosen. 

Viveka is also the author of a book titled 101 Ways To Rock Your Personal Brand, on Linkedin. 

It’s important to note that most Linkedin profiles will appear when someone ‘Googles You’, so you want to make sure you’re making a good first impression. 

If you use Linkedin or want to use it more professionally, I recommend listening to this podcast and also obtaining a copy of Viveka’s book. 

Here are my takeaway points:

1. Make sure your banner reflects you and your personal brand. 
2. Make sure the image of you is clear and professional
3. Make sure you only use your first name and last name in the correct areas. 
4. Use the summary section to tell people about who you are, your experience and why people should work for you. Don’t use it as a big SALES PITCH. Also you can add a testimonial in the summary area (cool idea)
5. Add good content and articles, because a lot of content added on Linkedin is rubbish. Plus you can repurpose an article used on Linkedin without Google punishing you. 
6. Advertising can be effective if you’re targeting specific focused groups of 1000+, using location, age, industry etc. Great for promoting a book or an event. Can be very expensive if you want to reach everyone or large numbers of people. 

There is a lot more information in the podcast and I’m looking forward to reading the Viveka’s book.

HOUR 93 - Self Awareness (Ask Gary Vee Show)

HOUR 93: The Ask Gary Fee Show / podcast - dated 18/11/16 Self Awareness (Chapter 17 from his Audiobook) 

Gary is fully self-aware that his comments and opinions attract a lot of people, however he is aware that those same comments and opinion also repel some people, however he honestly believes that by being himself he helps far more people than the ones he repels.

Takeaway One: Be yourself, however be aware of who you are. 

A good technique to learn more about who you are is to privately ask five or ten people, that know you really well, to give you honest feedback about who they think you are, both positive and negative, but do it individually, not in a group setting. Tell them you want honest feedback, no matter how brutal it is. 

A lady asked Gary how should she give a presentation, sales pitch, to a company and Gary said this was a perfect example of someone not knowing who they are or having any self-awareness of their best communication skills. 

Some  people can do a power point presentation really well, whereas others suck at it, so maybe an audio or video presentation would be best. Gary himself prefers talking unscripted. If you give him a script to follow and read, he loses part of who he is, but let him answer questions off the cuff, and he totally dominates, and he knows this. This is true self-awareness. 

Takeaway Two: We all need to work harder at becoming more self-aware in all aspects of our life…especially around communication.

Hour 92: BEE Happy (and escape the 9 - 5 rut)

HOUR 92: MOUNTAIN MANTRAS Podcast - Wellness and Life Lessons with Kathryn Kemp Guylay. Episode 32 - BEE Happy (and escape the 9 - 5 rut) with Amy Hager. 

Amy Hagar is a beekeeper, nutritionalist, author and business coach and the first tip I wanted to share was a simple nutritional tip. 

When you go to eat something (eg Fruit versus Chips) ask yourself, “Is this going to help me, or is it going to harm me”. The logic behind this questions is very simple. 

She then discussed three tips for busy entrepreneurs:

Tip One: No matter how busy you get try to maintain a health routine in regards to your diet and exercise, becasue it’s so easy to overlook their importance. 

Tip Two: Set boundaries in regards to your work and non-work life. It very easy to check emails at 10pm or take your laptop on holidays, becasue you can, but once again it’s not healthy for you. You need to switch off and you can only do this by setting boundaries. 

Tip Three: Stay socially connected. When you’re busy it’s very easy to stop attending networking events, and other gatherings with friends and family, because you’re busy, but isolating yourself is not the healthy answer. You need to stay connected with people.

Hour 91: TAKE RISKS (Persistence Podcast)

HOUR 91: Persistence Podcast with Robyn Hartung, interviewing Zoe Stathis-Sandor of Zoe’s Dog Training, Episode 3: - TAKE RISKS

This particular podcast had plenty of twists and turns, which made the interview really exciting. Before I get to my takeaway points I’d like to share something Robyn said at the start of the interview. 

A business owner working 80 hours per week for themselves, instead of 40 hour per week for someone else, still feels like they have FREEDOM…and I couldn’t agree more. 

Takeaway point one: When you take on the risk of starting your own business, you need to understand that your partner is also taking on the same risk, and this can cause problems in your relationship, especially if this is not what they signed up for, so you need to be aware of this. 

Takeaway point two: The word RISK has such a negative vibe surrounding it, whereas it shouldn’t be this way, instead the word risk should give you the feeling of excitement. Risk is a good thing. 

I didn’t mention this on the video, but I thought it was worth sharing. 

Zoe and her husband both have their own businesses and each month they put their heads together and focus in on one of their businesses, whichever one needs the most attention and this concentrated focus, from both of them, pays huge dividends.

HOUR 90: Awaken The Entrepreneur Within with Michael E Gerber

Hour 90: BOND APPETITE podcast with Ronsley Vaz - Episode 184: Awaken The Entrepreneur Within with The E-Myth Legend Michael E Gerber. 

WOW, what an amazing guy and at 80 years of age he has more energy than the average 20 something. 

Here’s my first takeaway: Ronsley asked him what’s his definition of an entrepreneur? He said that an entrepreneur is actually made up of four different people, within the one person, and each plays their part in the entrepreneurial journey. 

1. The Dreamer has the dream
2. The Thinker has the vision
3. The Storyteller has the purpose 
4. The Leader has the mission. 

My second takeaway point: He discussed the importance of systems and documenting everything you do. Define what it is you do and then test and validate it. Implement and validate again. Once you have everything documented and all your processes are working perfectly, then you can employ someone else… and only then. 

He used Chiropractic as an example. Often a Chiropractor will employ another Chiropractor too early in their business development, and since there are no systems in place, the employed Chiropractor will start doing things their own way. 

Over time you end up with two Chiropractors running their own business, their own way, under the one business banner. 

Eventually the employed Chiropractor will leave, take their patients, and work for themselves.   

Michael E Gerber’s new book is called BEYOND THE E-MYTH. I think the release date is the 7th of December 2016.
