Arisen Podcast

Can you imagine my table on the streets of Michel Camp, Tema with my cooking groove on frying indomie and eggs for customers?

That would be very funny, huh?

If you know me so well, you'll know I'm a geek at turning ideas into a profitable business. I analyze businesses for a hobby and I obsess about startups and how people should rather run their businesses. (I know, I'm a geek. Proudly!)

An indomie seller just opened right behind my house and I just couldn't help my naughty, nosy brain to think through what she should do in her business to skyrocket her success. 

So all I did was to put myself in the shoes (this case, long colored socks and slippers) of this indomie seller and imagine what I'd do if I were her.

And then this happened!

I realized what I'd do in her business would be the exact same formula if I were to build a software business or in information-based business or any form of business.

In this episode, find out what I'd do instead and how you can deploy this formula in your business.

We all have plans and the reason we set them is so that we can accomplish them. 

But, if plans don't as you'd wanted them, what do you do?

Do you sit and cry your lungs over? Or do you have a positive mindset to rebound again.?

Regardless of whatever you do, your attitude towards your failure is a lesson on its own.

We can't avoid failed plans. That's a fact. But we can work on our attitude and mindset towards it so we can get the most out of our failures. 

Bill Gates once said, "Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose." 

Bill Gates being one of the richest men on the surface of the earth definitely knows a thing or two in what failed plans are and what successful plans look like. What can we learn from our failed plans because they're inevitable?

In this week's episode, we dive deep into what we need to do when our plans fail... and as always, don't forget to stay Arisen!!!

If you're looking to start a business, never ever do it without this checklist?

Bold statement to make, huh? 

After consulting with several startups, successful businesses and entrepreneurs, I've realized between an idea that sees the daylight in the marketplace versus the one that doesn't do so well is the research phase!

You've been told to do lots of critical research work before launching your idea, right?

But the big question is this...

What should you research on?

You've done your competitive analysis, market-product match, survey, and all that they tell you to do. But is it really enough?

Do you think those ideas that fail don't do that?

You see, the proven and fail-proof way of conducting research is nothing you can find in most books or events. I've gathered a few metrics most of my successful mentors use and I shared everything inside this week's episode on the Arisen Podcast.

Is Stress  Good Or Bad?

Regardless of what we do, stress is always going to be part of our lives. 

The stress to impress someone...

The stress to accomplish tasks...

The stress of not hitting your deadlines...

I was obsessed with taking my stress away because I felt it was eating me up and couldn't live to my full potential. 

Then, I watched a video where Tony Robbins, the motivational speaker talked on an interview on how he still goes through several forms of stress even after his years of experience as a life coach.

However, there's something he does about it that makes him exceptional till this day. 

On this week's episode on the Arisen podcast, I go in-depth on the hacks the gurus use to counter stress in their lives.

What does it take to be a millionaire?

This question is a popular one in the space of people who are looking to make money. If you're someone like me, making money is a good thing because that way, you can help a lot more people who are in need. Think Bill Gates?

You see, we all know being an entrepreneur is by far the shortest way to earn a millionaire status but the problem is, there are lots of information all over the place that, we don't know who to listen to.

But this week, I brought in one of my mentors, Akbar Sheikh, who's gone from nothing to now helping businesses ridiculously flourish. He knows a lot than myself and it is an honor to have him share;

Sit back and listen as he showers you with all his best-kept secrets to making it in life.

The baby boomers are wrong!

How many times have you cringed upon hearing how young people are messing things up and blamed for every bad thing happening in the world right now from social vices to unemployment to relationship issues?

I read an article recently on why millennials - (i.e. people born within 1980-1996) suck at everything - the reason, they say, is because we're focused on social media and that has affected how we communicate, and how we live our lives...

As much as I agree to an extent to this, I believe we all have a responsibility as humans regardless of our ages to see how best to solve this issue of social media craze. Because, whether we like it or not, it's going to be part of our lives for good.

When automobiles weren't a thing, cars were strange for that new generation at the time and all sorts of bad omen were prophesied against the invention but here we are now... UBER? Can't wait for public jets or excursion to Mars

The question remains, how can we effectively reduce the adverse effect of social media and turn them into positives so we can make the world a better place?

One of my mentors taught me a principle he calls, "producer vs consumer." 

In this week's episode, I talk about how to use this principle and concept to give you the ability to live an Arisen life.

One guru in the space of entrepreneurship I respect a lot is John Lee Dumas with Entrepreneurs On Fire. 

Note: I have a interview schedule with him which will be going live in a few weeks.

This guy knows what he's doing and one thing I admire a lot from him is his level of transparency. On his site, he posts how much his company makes every month for all his followers to visualize on what's possible for them and their ventures as well. 

One thing I'm also learning to do is to hack that level of transparency and do it sparingly inside whatever we're doing.

That's why I'm sharing this week's episode. I go in and talk behind-the-scenes of what happened before, during and after Emerge Secrets Workshop

I talked about what;

The reason I'm sharing these behind-the-curtain outlook of how we did it is to empower you so you have a blueprint on how to pull of an event in case you also want to - (which I recommend everyone who follows Arisen Nation should!)

 Is this you?

"One minute you have brilliant business idea you're planning to execute... 2 minutes later, you're watching nonsense on people's statuses..."

Microsoft did a study not too long ago and it revealed what the attention span of humans have drastically reduced to about 8 seconds... yes! 

Lesser than that of a goldfish - shocking, right?

Others have also proven beyond reasonable doubts that humans have always been naturally this way. 

Either way, there's a problem that needs fixing. Because, if you're looking to stay Arisen by living life on your terms, or trying to achieve something in your life, you've also fallen into the trap of scattered attention. 

I suffered from this drastically and I couldn't help myself but ask, "how are these high-performers and high-achievers staying so focused in their game and doing enough than the ordinary?"

Then I had my aha-moment when I was having a conversation with one of my mentors who has made lots of money offline and online in his business and clearly has mastered this game...

Just couple days ago, a buddy of mine reached out and was asking how I deal with the issue of lack of focus so he can get lots done in a day. All I did was to go back in time to revisit the advice my mentor gave me when I was struggling on this topic.

On this week's episode, you're going to cheat your way into learning these hacks that are frankly obvious and can get you to be laser-focused on your thing so you can also be a high-achiever.

Growing up, my parents always made sure simple etiquette like saying "sorry" when you offend someone or saying "thank you" when you're grateful was a part of me.

They go to the extent of rewarding and punishing us (my brother and I) when we use those words in the right context at the right time. But, little did I know they were impacting something huge into our lives.

Couple months ago, I had the opportunity to see behind the scenes of a multi-million advertising agency that run campaigns for large corporations and entities and I saw them use these magical two-worded phrase to bring tons of business to their clients.

Up until then, I didn't know how powerful those words could be!

Some weeks ago, I realized how even more powerful these two word phrase as I was on the receiving end of this strategy and I thought to myself...

 "What if I consciously use this strategy in my business as well..."

Join me this week as I share what these two-worded phrase that's turning businesses around and how to effectively implement it in your business and your life.

Listen here, and as always, don't forget to stay Arisen!!!

 If you have a product or service and you sat down to think about where your customers are, you doomed!

There are few times where I wondered why people weren't patronizing my ideas and I was frustrated and almost gave up. Then something happened!

One of my mentors on a coaching call revealed this concept inside the 1st 5 minutes in the conversation... 

then everything changed

This concept he shared with me has not only exponentially and geometrically impacted my business into the greens but has also given me a lot of upper hand in life as a whole. 

I've been able to reach out, network, with high-status people because of this concept... 

I've been able to make more money because of this concept... 

I've been able to touch other people's lives because of this concept...
