Hour 183 - Guest Blogging

HOUR 183: Interview Connections podcast with Jessica Rhodes, Episode 127: Guest Blogging with Maggie Patterson. This podcast series was previously called Rhodes To Success and I discussed Jessica’s rebranding decision in Hour 167. 

This episode is all about guest blogging, and if you want to be a guest blogger you’ll get a lot out of listening to this, however my takeaway points have got more to do with getting feedback and using it to become a better writer. 

1. When you approach an organisation or individual to be a guest blogger, expect rejection, especially if you have not yet built credibility as a blogger or writer in your space. 
2. When someone does say yes, you may also be asked to re-write your blogs. This doesn’t mean you’re a bad writer, but you may need to adjust your style of writing to suit their audience. So expect criticism and feedback and take it on board to become better. 

When I first started shooting my videos, Greg Buckley gave me a few tips on where my eyes should be looking, and this valuable piece of advice has definitely helped me engage more with the audience.

Hour 182 - Better Questions For Better Answers - PART 2

HOUR 182: In Top From podcast with Dave Frees, Alex Frees and Somnath Sikdar, Episode 2: Better Questions For Better Answers & Results For Your Business - Part 2. 

There is no way I can do justice to this episode, you need to listen to it fully, but here are a few takeaway points. 

1. Ask yourself this question on a regular basis: What would have to happen for you to change your mind? This question makes you open your mind in advance to change. 
2. Some people say that change causes them stress, but this is not true. It’s the resistance to change that causes stress. Therefore embrace change and decrease stress. 
3. If you’re living with regret you’re living in the past. If your living with anxiety you’re living in the future, but if you’re living with happiness you’re living in the present. 
4. When you consciously think about your breathing…like right now, you’re living in the present.

Hour 181- Better Questions For Better Answers - PART 1

HOUR 181: In Top From podcast with Dave Frees, Alex Frees and Somnath Sikdar, Episode 1: Better Questions For Better Answers & Results For Your Business - Part 1. 

Here are todays takeaway points:

1. When you go to an event tell your RAS beforehand that you’re going to get at least one great takeaway point by attending, even if the event starts poorly.  
2. Use TIME BLOCKING and allow time for deep thought. As an entrepreneur you sometimes feel you need to always be doing something…BUT  remember ‘Action Drives Out Thought’. 
3. If someone comes to you with a problem, make sure they also come to you with at least three solutions. Dave said four or five solutions are even better.

Hour 180: How to Generate Revenue Through Writing

HOUR 180: EOFIRE Podcast with John Lee Dumas, Episode 1583: How To Generate Revenue Through Writing with Kathryn Trudeau from Parent Co

Todays takeaways are not about writing. Kathryn is an author and regular contributor to parenting publications, and she shares two very cool tips. 

1. There’s a big difference between Discipline and Punishment. Discipline is derived from the word disciple, meaning to teach. So when you’re disciplining a child, a co-worker or an employee, your role is to teach them, not to punish them. 
2. To get more done during the day you must focus on doing the things that NEED to be done FIRST, and when they’re all done you can move onto the things you WANT to do. Get this right and you’ll get more done.

Hour 179: Secrets to Getting Podcast Sponsorship

HOUR 179: Should I Start A Podcast with Ronsley Vaz, Episode 68: Secrets To Getting Your Podcast Sponsored with Aaron Fifield. 

If you don’t have a podcast…THAT’S FINE, listen anyway as there are some good tips here. 

1. Guests: When Aaron invited guests for his own podcast, Chat With Traders, some would say yes, even though there was no direct benefit for them, but they did it becasue they were paying it forward, whereas others would say no, becasue they didn’t want to share their secrets. (Tools) 
2. Aaron will always try and engage with people who have reached out and contacted him. He mentioned some podcasters act a bit too ‘Hollywood’ and think they are overly important. (Also Tools)
3. Why sponsors are important: When you do a podcast it often takes a lot of time and planning and therefore it costs you money to produce. Podcasts are free for the listener, but not for the podcaster. Sponsorship helps offset some of these costs. 

But with all sponsorship there must be value for the sponsor. Sponsorship without value is just a donation.

Hour 178 - How To Get Smart

HOUR 178: Three Month Vacation podcast with Sean D’Souza, Episode 127: How To Get Smart (& Stay Smart)

Three tips / takeaways:

1. Learn all you can in your own field. It’s impossible to learn everything, but you must stay on a continual path of learning. Learning is non-negotiable. 
2. Learn in areas you have no expertise and never will. This will open your mind to new ideas, give you more confidence and make you more creative, which will help you in your main profession. Being smart means knowing the world around you. 
3. How do you find time to learn more in your own expertise and also learn more about areas not in your expertise? It’s simple, put limits on your schedule and on your time. You become smarter by putting limits on the world you live in.

Hour 177: Execution is Everything with Maude Leger

HOUR 177: Open Roll with Jurgen Rudolph, the weekly podcast for the business artist. Taking you from a white belt to a black belt. 

Episode # 77: Execution is Everything with Maude Leger, from Sold Right Away, which is a real estate marketing business. 

The episode title sums up the main takeaway point from the podcast:

Execution is everything. You can have a lot of great ideas, but if they just sit there doing nothing and you never take action, or even attempt to execute them in some way…they’re worthless. 

An unexecuted idea is as powerful as no idea at all. 

Also if you want to learn more about using drones in your marketing, you’ll enjoy this episode. i just wished the interview went a little longer.
