Podcast 8: Thinking vs Awareness

Positive thinking vs fearless awareness. My one-on-one coaching expertise taught me that changing your life is about more than just “changing your thinking.” Your thoughts are the product of your awareness. Trying to change them without changing your awareness is like trying to change the direction of a river. Change your awareness, and you’ll change everything.

Podcast 9: Finding Your Focus

Are you wondering how to stay focused as an entrepreneur? It’s not about self-discipline. If you don’t have that already, you should find a job. The real question is, what is your “One Thing?” What could you become so good at, and/or so well known for, that people on the other side would bring up your name (or your brand) if they were talking about it?

Podcast 10: Bad Money Mindsets

A negative money mindset is the most common cause of self-sabotage for an entrepreneur. But, did you know that you can have a negative money mindset without even knowing it? Most people assume that it’s a matter of whether you have a “poverty consciousness.” There are three ways your beliefs about money can devastate your entrepreneurial goals.

Podcast 11: Marketing Psychology

Marketing Psychology is only one half of the marketing equation. The other half is mathematical probability. I’ve seen hundreds of entrepreneurs struggle with consistency because they don’t understand how to leverage mathematical probability in the tactical approach to their marketing campaigns, or when managing their expectations and assumptions.

Podcast 12: Faith and Wisdom

What’s the link between entrepreneurship and the Christian Faith? It starts with debunking the #1 misconception about faith as defined by Jesus in the New Testament. The misconception is that “religious” faith is “blind;” that it’s something you have in spite of there being no evidence. This isn’t consistent with anything I’ve ever heard any Christian profess to believe.

Podcast 13: Principles vs Methods

Principles vs Methods. What’s the difference, and why does it matter when it comes to bottom-line business results? In my experience, the difference is vast, highly impactful, and scarcely understood by most aspiring entrepreneurs. Principles link effects to causes through the working of natural laws. Methods are simply the means of aligning our actions with these principles.

Podcast 14: Emerson’s Oversoul

This is my Analysis of a selection from “The Oversoul” by Ralph Waldo Emerson. This passage is featured in the final chapter of another one of my favorite personal growth books, The Science of Being Great, by Wallace Wattles. You’ll also find this concept in the works on the Hermetic Philosophy, The Hindu Upanishads, The Dhammapada, and many other wisdom writings.

Podcast 15: The Principle of Rhythm

What is the Principle of Rhythm and why is it important for entrepreneurs? First, there’s a rhythm to attracting clients to making money. Dan S Kennedy talks about this in his book The No-BS Guide to Wealth Attraction in the New Economy. If you’ve been an entrepreneur or if you’ve worked in sales for more than a few months, you know what I’m talking about.

Podcast 16: Getting Paid Well

New freelance writers often ask me how to find high-paying freelance writing jobs. As if that’s all there is to it. The truth is, if you want to be paid what you’re worth, you have to stop thinking about high-paying jobs and start thinking about the kind of clients you want to work with. How well a client pays you has little to do with how much money they have.

Podcast 17: The Law of Rejection

When you reject someone’s first offer in order to get a better one, you’re applying the law of rejection. The term “law of rejection” is something I started using in 2008 and it’s an invaluable strategy in sales and in marketing. In marketing the law of rejection states that the better you get at attracting high-value customers, the better you’ll get at repelling high-drama customers.

Podcast 18: Plans vs Procrastination

Do you know how to escape mediocrity as an entrepreneur? It starts with knowing when to stop planning and when to start taking action, risking failure, and being willing to learn from your mistakes. I started out making zero dollars a month and grew to a full-time income. I know from experience that there’s one secret to escaping mediocrity, and to breaking income plateaus.

Podcast 19: On Cause and Effect

In this podcast, I talk about the Principle of Cause and Effect in business, particularly for entrepreneurs and commission only sales people. This is one of those topics that seems too simple to be worth discussing. But, in my experience, the Principle of Cause and Effect is how you deal with the persistent challenge, and the fear of, of economic uncertainty.

Podcast 20: Opportunity is Delicate

There’s a quote about opportunity often attributed to Thomas Edison…”Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” This is true. But I want to talk about another less known and rarely recognized reason opportunity sometimes comes and goes without warning. Have you ever had an opportunity that seemed perfect, but that…

Podcast 21: Dealing With Despair

Edmund Burke said “Never despair, but if you do, work on in despair.” But, what if you don’t have the energy do keep working? What if you’re out of hope and feeling like there’s no point in putting any effort into achieving your goals? What if you feel like everything you do is failing, and it won’t whether you work hard, or just tread water?

Podcast 22: Energy Management

Personal Energy Management is smarter than time management, goal setting or positive thinking. Are your winning streaks followed by dramatic slumps that wipe out almost all your wins? Do you have short bursts of productivity and self-confidence, followed by periods of procrastination and indecision? Do opportunities come into your life, then disappear without…

Podcast 23: Faith, or Skepticism?

Faith and Skepticism are both essential to your success as an entrepreneur. Faith for reasons I’ve talked about in past podcasts on the Principle of Faith.  Skepticism because it guards your mind from the truckloads of BS found in so many books on business success. It also protects you from being led astray by the shiny objects that come across your path.

Podcast 24: When to Quit

Is quitting ever a good idea? Persistence is the key ingredient for success, in business and in life. But, where does smart persistence end and blockheaded stubbornness begin? First, remember that success often comes just after the moment when you almost decided to quit. So, if you’re in the habit of quitting too early, you’ll miss out on the best things your life has to offer.

Podcast 25: Poverty and Laziness

Few people talk about the link between poverty and entrepreneurship. But, the fact is there are more poor and struggling entrepreneurs than there are rich and prosperous entrepreneurs. This is why most new businesses fail after 5 years. How do you get on the right side of this statistic? It starts with understand the link between poverty and entrepreneurship.

Podcast 26: New Year’s Resolutions

Do you know why New Year’s Resolutions don’t work? It’s not because people are lazy, or unmotivated, or uncommitted, or too hard on themselves. It’s because New Year’s Resolutions are based on a superstitious assumption…that people are more likely to change their lives simply because the calendar is changing. Self-Discipline is the bedrock of all personal achievement.

Podcast 27: Humility and Gratitude

For entrepreneurs, humility and gratitude go hand in hand. This is because gratitude is a tangible strategy for creating sustainable business or sales success. I know this sounds a little “woo-woo.” I used to think it was. But I’ve discovered a surprising link between Gratitude and Ambition that every entrepreneur should know about. Like most entrepreneurs, I’m…

Podcast 28: Beating Bad Decisions

How to overcome writing anxiety and bad decision making. Some states of mind are so negative, or anxious, you should ignore even your own advice, your own reasoning and your own interpretations of circumstances while in this state. Too many times, we get anxious, angry or depressed, and our left brain looks for reasons, and these reasons aren’t always valid.
