Business Lunch

What are you holding onto, that’s actually holding you back? Today Roland tells a story that demonstrates a timeless principle in business and life. If you want to move forward faster in your personal or business life, this episode will certainly help you do just that.

"The only way to fix dependence on a crutch is to let go and start walking without it." Roland Frasier

Often the 'Crutch' that you lean on will become a leash that holds you back or hurts you or your business. If this rings true for you, listen in today for Roland's Step by Step plan for throwing away YOUR crutches and leashes. Be sure to hit SUBSCRIBE on Apple Podcasts and share this episode with your business-minded friends.

5 Steps To Free Yourself From Your Crutch (And Leash) Step 1, Enquire • What things are you doing in your life and business that you don't want to do?

• Identify the tasks that you hate, that you loathe?

• What are you doing that's not earning you the money you need to live the life that you want to lead?

• Who is someone you work for, or with, that no longer brings joy or value to your personal life or business?

• Is there anyone in your business or life that you don't see eye-to-eye with on moral or ethical issues? Who has values that don't match your own, and they're not likely to any time soon?

Make a list of all of the above.

Step 2, Identify Make a list of things to stop doing and relationships to end, based on your answers to the questions above. When you've done this, you now have a list of all of the crutches that have become leashes.

Step 3, Visualize If you are going to take these necessary actions, you're going to need some help getting motivated.

Take a moment to imagine life in a year, when you've eliminated each crutch/leash on your list. Picture how much more profitable, peaceful, joyful, your life will be. Behavioral Scientists call this ‘future pacing’. Now hold onto this visualization as you move on to step 4.

Step 4, Prepare As humans, we are all conditioned to avoid pain and seek pleasure. The reason these crutches are hard to let go of is that at some point, they helped. At some point, they were beneficial. Ending a relationship, whether with drugs, alcohol, a person, or a crutch, is one of the hardest things we as humans may have to do.

Prepare yourself for this. For each item or person, you need to let go of, write out what you want to say ...Even if you have to play devil's advocate with Yourself and do some self-talk! Listen to the episode for Roland's examples.

Step 5, Act, Throw, And Cut. Accelerate your happiness and success by using this process and take some giant leaps forward, on your own two feet. Lean on the work you've done and do what you need to do.

Now that you're thinking consciously and intentionally about recognizing these crutch and leash situations, you will be able to move forward faster into the life you want to live.

One of the scariest things about being in business for yourself is the risk of losing your home or other personal assets if your business fails. Many creditors insist on personal guarantees, but if you want to avoid this risk and calm those fears, listen in today.

Roland practiced business, tax, and securities law for over 12 years and is now an active investor who drives growth and scale in his portfolio companies. He is co-founder and/or principal of three current Inc. Magazine fastest-growing companies and he has founded, scaled, or sold 24 different 7 to 9 figure businesses ranging from consumer products to industrial machine manufacturing companies with adjusted sales ranging from $3 million to $337 million. Roland currently advises over 150 companies on digitally centric customer acquisition, activation, referral, retention, revenue strategies, and plan implementation.

If you're enjoying the podcast, make sure you're subscribed and share this episode with your business leading friends. It will be entrepreneurs that help our world recover from these tough economic conditions!

So, How do you negotiate your way around giving personal guarantees? Step 1 is to structure your business as a Limited Liability entity. This is 101. But, beyond that, Roland rolls out his top 17 strategies (in order of preference) as an alternative to offering a personal guarantee.

"First off, just say No. Many times the bank or Lender is asking as a matter of course, it's just a box they need to check, and they don't actually care. They will move on. But, when creditors insist, you need some additional tools." Roland Frasier

Roland's Top 7 Strategies Listen for 10 more smart and creative ways to avoid personal risk but move forward with your entrepreneurial ventures. Click to find us on Apple Podcasts and other podcast players. 🎧 It might just save you your home!

Provide the Lender with weekly financial statements. This will often ease the creditors' concerns because they can continue to assess the health of your business and ensure that they won't be blindsided if things take a turn for the worse. This is particularly helpful if it's a revolving credit line.

Provide them read-only logins to your financial accounting programs. This is less favorable for you because it puts the creditor more up in your business, but it provides the creditor with all the benefits of #1.

Make weekly, instead of monthly payments. More frequent payments reveal financial challenges more quickly than monthly and therefore reduce your lenders' risks.

Purchase credit insurance on your customers to ensure the quality of critical liquid assets like accounts receivable or purchase orders.

Provide a Fidelity certificate. This triggers a personal guarantee only if you commit fraud as defined in your purchase or loan agreement. This protects the Lender against fraud risk but not against general business risk. It gives you a kind of hybrid liability, so unless you're going to lie, cheat, and steal, you'll be okay with that.

Use specific asset security pledges. Give the Lender a priority lean on particular assets such as Domain names or Accounts receivables or equipment, etc. That way, they have reduced risk, but they still don't get your Personal guarantee.

You can Pledge liability for other assets, such as a domain name that you own, your wine collection, a boat, a watch, or your rental property. This gives them a cross collateral offset that doesn't touch your home.

Have you already established your business on TikTok? Major brands are now hitting TikTok. It's the fastest growing platform on the planet.

The time is now to experiment with it to see how you can best use it in your business. Roland is, as always, on top of it, and has a great snackable episode today. Here's a sound strategy based on a case study of Ralph Laurens' massively successful TikTok account.

If you're enjoying the podcast, make sure you're subscribed on ApplePodcasts and share this episode with your business-minded friends.

9 Actionable Steps To Build Your TikTok Campaign 1. Contract with an existing influencer. You could pay your new partner in cash OR send them product for free. Ideally, get an influencer who has an audience that matches your target market, and have them create videos that tie into your product.

2. Choose a major event that appeals to your target market that already has a significant following of its own - on its own TikTok Hashtag. Look for a Hashtag with at least a few million views.

3. Post your videos to TikTok.

4. Create your own unique Hashtag to promote your videos on Tiktok. Find steps to do that here.

"Note, You don't have to have a ton of views to get your hashtag to go viral." Roland Frasier

5. Make sure you add your unique hashtags to your influencer videos.

6. Create your hashtag challenge. Ralph Lauren did just that with this copy:

"Are you winning at real life? 🏆 Tell us how with #WinningRL and we'll pick 3 champs". #Challenge

7. Reward your winners with something cool, be it recognition, a product, or a prize. You can stop here, and keep your costs lower or continue to step 8 and 9.

8. Pay for a Paid-Ad option (The Sponsored # Challenge), to gain additional exposure.

When you do this, do what Ralph Lauren did, in tying your influencer, your main event, your #challenge all together to point toward your Hashtag.

9. Use the Hashtag Challenge PLUS Paid-Ad option. This recent addition allows people to purchase products directly inside the app. It's a game-changer!

"That's where everything is really heading now with TikTok, that's why you want to be here not, even if you're not able to afford everything they're offering, this is a game-changer - the ability to purchase in App." Roland Frasier

Check out the Ralph Lauren TikTok account for inspiration and examples. They're definitely doing something right with somewhere north of a Billion users per month.

"I think, as Entrepreneurs, we can lead an industry, not just lead the consumer… there's room for all of us, and if I can not only help consumers to find the right things but also lead companies to do the right thing, that's massive." Kara Godin.

Listen Today For,

• The 'Made In America' Advantage that's opening doors in this new economy.

• A simple phone call that Godin is making to her distributors that delivers solutions - and ensures sales in these tough economic times.

• Why she's never been afraid of Coke or Pepsi coming in and wiping out her business.

"More and more, consumers look for brands that are authentic, where there's someone behind the brand…this is partly because of the media, but people want to know the story behind the brands." Kara Goldin.

• The role of your personal brand in propping up your company.

• An opportunity that Entrepreneurs have to change the status quo and make a difference.

"As an entrepreneur with a mission to help people enjoy great-tasting clean water, I felt that it was my civil responsibility to go to my local Congress to try to bring federal guidelines to clean water throughout the US." Kara Godin.

Plus, 4 Takeaways You Can Learn From Godin's Success

1) When you recognize a problem that you think you have a great solution for, don't assume that someone else has thought about that same problem.

2) Can you get out of your own way? Sometimes you need to commit and embark on a journey before you can get all your ducks in a row.

"Every day I'm thinking, what did I learn from that experience?" Kara Godin.

3) Take the time to stop and think about what you would do differently if you knew what you know now.

4) Be wary of being too reliant on one distributor, one partner, or one channel.
