Hour 219 - The Essential Question with James Altucher & Ryan Holiday

HOUR 219: (Osaka, Japan) The James Altucher Show, Episode 222 - The Essential Question: How To Live A Good Life with Ryan Holiday. 

This podcast episode goes for an hour and a half so I’ve decided to split it into two parts. Today is PART ONE. 

Today’s Takeaway:

When you find something you love to do, make sure your success doesn’t distract you from it long-term. For example, if you’re a success writer and you LOVE TO WRITE, don’t be distracted by the allure of more money by running seminars, courses, workshops and speaking gigs. 

Yes the money may sound great, but if it takes you away from what you really love to do is it really worth it????????? Think about it. 

Other points not shared on the video, but definitely worth sharing:

• Really great work is never appreciated in the beginning. Even Jesus would agree with that. 
• There’s so much noise today you have to do more, more often, to be noticed. You can’t write one book and live off of it anymore. 
• All careers today are based around having good communication skills. 
• Stoic people are not surprised by unfairness, and the world will break your heart if you think life is supposed to be fair.

Hour 218 - The Fastest Way To Improve Your Path To Success

HOUR 218: (Osaka, Japan) The Morning Mindfulness podcast with Jin, Episode 473: Mastermind: The Fastest Way To Improve Your Path To Success. 

Today’s Takeaways:

It’s okay to not be great at everything, and this is why being part of a mastermind group is such a good idea. You can openly share your ideas, concerns and fears with a group of like minded people who may have skills in areas you do not have. 

Mastermind groups can be a physical group or a virtual group you meet with online, but the meetings must be regular. 

Napoleon Hill discusses masterminding in his book Think and Grow Rich, so it’s not a new concept, but it will definitely speed up your path to success.

Hour 217 - Self Publish The Best Seller Inside Of You - Part 2

HOUR 217: (OSAKA, Japan) - Optimal Startup Daily with Lee Rankinen and Justin Malik, Episode 85: Self-Publish The Bestseller Inside You - Part Two.  

(Information in this podcast episode are based on tips from acclaimed author James Altucher) 

#1: Money - you can make more money self publishing, because you can direct your own career. You can take it where ‘you’ want it to go. 

#2: Marketing - you have control of how and where your book is marketed.

#3: You can redefine what a book is - As far as publisher is concerned if you’re not writing 40,000+ words they’re not interested, but some of the most successful self published books have only been 7000 words. Also you can write about anything you want (eg: family history)

#4: Self publish, then publish - Publishers often look at self publishers like the minor leagues, and they are always scouting the market. This is exactly how 50 Shades of Grey became so popular. 

Bonus tips not on video:

#5: No Stereotyping - As a self published author you can write a finance book and your next book can be about cooking. A publisher would never let you do this. 

#6: A book is really just a very big business card, and it’s great for business.

Hour 216 - Self Publish The Best Seller Inside You - Part 1

HOUR 216 (OSAKA, Japan) - Optimal Startup Daily with Lee Rankinen and Justin Malik, Episode 84: Self-Publish The Bestseller Inside You - Part One. 

(Information in this podcast episode are based on tips from acclaimed author James Altucher) 

In part one they share reasons why self-publishing is better than traditional publishing, and why it’s a myth to think that people only self publish because they cannot get a traditional publishing deal. 

#1: Speed - you can self publish a book much faster, usually within 3 to 6 months, compared to 1 to 2 years with a traditional publisher. 

#2: Control - you have totally control over cover design, layout, the editing process and marketing. And most importantly where, when and how it is marketed. 

#3: Permission & Ideas - you don’t need anyones permission to begin writing and if you have an idea, no matter how bizarre it may be, you can write about it. The market will determine if it’s any good or relevant. Ideas have NO LIMITS.

Todays Takeaway Points:

#1: Why do you have a Youtube channel? If you don’t understand why, you’re going to find it difficult to built subscribers. 

#2: The best Youtube channels are the ones that never run out of material. Most having nothing to say after 6 - 8 episodes. 

#3: To stay inspired, stop focusing on what your don’t have, instead focus on what you do have.

Hour 214: Manage Your Energy

HOUR 214: Lewis Howes School of Greatness, Episode 462 - Manage Your Energy. 

Todays takeaway points:

#1: Managing your energy is more about managing your thinking than managing anything else, and if you don’t manage your energy levels you’re going to feel really flat. 

#2: You need to visualise how your mind and body will react when you achieve certain goals.

Hour 213 - Branding

HOUR 213: Glambition Radio with Ali Brown, Episode date 12/1/16 - Dorie Clark, Branding Expert and author of Stand Out. 

Today’s Takeaway: 

It’s hard to tell what is going to appeal to the masses, so before you put all your effort and money into one grand idea, you should first test the market. A good way to do this is by blogging about your idea, via multiple channels, and seeing what captures peoples interest and seeing what comments and shares you receive. This could give you some insight into how the market is thinking. 

A big concern people have is if they share their idea too early someone may try and steal it, and you’re probably right they will, however if you blast your idea constantly, you will be known as the person who created it first and the other people will be seen as copy. 

Bonus Idea (not on video) - Sometimes people will invest 2 years into developing a course without even mentioning it in a blog. So blog first and see if there’s any interest before you invest too much time into developing it. This could save you a lot of time and give you the ability to pivot.
