4 Business Lessons from the Podcast:

1. Content-Based Networking - James Carbary - https://iamceo.co/list/james-carbary/

Generate leads with your podcast using content-based networking.

Don’t minimize the networking opportunity to reach out to other people within the network/podcast.

Profit first coaching. The first step act. Take a step back in your process to understand where there might be potential opportunities. Start thinking creatively about other revenue opportunities by taking a step back.

Building your own media company thru Podcasting

1. Having a Goal - to let your audience know, what to expect in your episodes. Constructing the flow of the podcast with guided questions in a form of conversation.

2. Batching - consistently do the podcast, by setting a time and day and batch them. It will set your energy and increase your level of expertise.

3. Authority Positioning - not as the bread and butter but to support your main business that can create a funnel of potential clients.

In this episode, Gresh asked the question himself,

“What can we do to be more scaleable?”

More focused on the strategic equation:

Visibility + Resources x Connections = Success

In this episode on Deliberate Freelancer podcast, Gresham shares lessons he has learned along the way towards his six-figure goal and the power of focus. He encourages business owners to follow their passions and not relent in their course of action.

One of the lessons Gresham learned along the way—as he headed toward his six-figure goal—was that he could not do everything at the same time. Brimming with ideas, he realized he needed to focus on what could make the most impact on his business.

Gresham also learned that it’s important to be able to quickly pivot and adjust to situations, like the pandemic, to be a successful business owner. It’s helpful as a business owner to be comfortable trying new things, changing up your business, taking risks. Being resilient and having an entrepreneurial mindset is important during times of change and challenges.

Gresham struggles with one of the things he loves the most: being able to focus, when he has a lot of ideas and things he wants to develop. He handles that by taking a new big idea and breaking it down into a smaller idea that is more doable with the time and energy he has.

Gresham talks about not having a support system around him as he began to think about starting an entrepreneurial business. Sometimes loved ones won’t support your decision, and that can affect your confidence and self-worth. Connecting with an entrepreneurial community helped him realize his ideas and goals were possible.

Gresham was featured on This Might Get Uncomfortable podcast where he talked about his personal experience and also share his insights on how he got to that aha moment despite the motionless growth circumstance.

People are considered the most adaptable creatures that they can acclimate to various degrees. We were once in the "discovering yourself" stage but it seems we cannot go out of our prized comfort zones. Almost always you hear people saying that they are growing and yet, they are lost in the stagnant space. Sitting down in conversation with Whitney Lauritsen and Jason Wrobel, Gresham Harkless Jr., Founder of CEO Blog Nation, imparts his insights and personal experience he used to get that aha moment despite the motionless growth circumstance. It's not always the case that if you're comfortable and satisfied, you're developing. Listen in and learn the points we can try to improve on.
