Encouraging the Encouragers

Wow gang!  I recently had Robert Rouwenhorst, PhD present to my mastermind for coaches and speakers.  Rob is a long-time friend. He's a brilliant researcher and successful professor at the University of Iowa.  His first academic/research love was business... and specifically... understanding consumer's choices and loyalty.  But recently... he's developed a second love.  So he's been diving DEEP on the subject of using habits to optimize your life.  He'll tell you... he wants to see the world living their best life!  In fact, he's started a life design class at the UofI and students pack the house.  It's standing room only as Rob walks students through the idea of designing their lives and establishing the best habits (and... specifically... habit stacking) to help them achieve it.

Well... I had Rob come in to speak to my coaches and speakers so they could first... apply these concepts in their own lives.  But then... second... be able to teach others (their clients and audiences) about these concepts too.

Rob blew my mastermind away with a number of different strategies and tools... but a BIG one was the 3 questions he asks himself every morning!

Now... in full transparency... you've probably heard question 1 before.  In fact, I hope you already use it.

And there's a chance you've heard question 3.  I best selling book was written on this question alone.  So you know it's a good one!

But question 2 is the one that blew people's minds and blessed their ever-lovin' socks off!

That's why I want to share this with you!  IT's sooooooooo freeegin' powerful... and I think you're going to love it.

BTW... I recorded this while I was walking my pup... Hiro.  So enjoy some of the fall leaves and signing birds in the background!

Hi. I'm Mitch Matthews... and I'm a Recovering Perfectionist.

It's true.  I've had to choose to overcome my perfectionist tendencies in order to build a coaching and speaking business I love and to help the people I feel called to encourage.

Plus, as I've been able to walk alongside so many other life coaches and speakers as they're building their own businesses... we've needed to identify and beat back perfectionism... so they could finally get content out and become successful.  Heck... I'd say that perfectionism is the silent killer of so many encouragers and a major roadblock that keeps a lot of people from becoming Well-Paid Encouragers.

In short... perfectionism sucks.

And... if I'm being honest... it almost killed THIS podcast before it even got started.  Because I KNEW I wanted to Encourage the Encouragers... (that's YOU!)... in new ways!  And I wanted to record these episodes from the journey... sharing tips and strategies... as they come in!  

Plus, I wanted to make this work in a way that I could deliver 365 episodes in a year!!!! 

So... that meant I had to do these from the road... as opposed to waiting until I got back to my nice studio and good mics, etc.  

BUT... I used some of the strategies we'll talk about in this short episode to push through.

And that's what I want for YOU too.

YOU are enough.

And... although... THAT THING (that blog post, that podcast episode, that piece of copy, that website, that photo... etc. etc. etc.) is perfect... it's good enough!

Get it out.

Hit send.

Push publish.

Carry on.

Don't wait for perfection.

Focus on progress!

And let's do this!

Remember... you're just one encouragement away from a breakthrough!

Episode 002 is recorded from my truck so the sound is a little rough!  BUT... we dig into some key stuff and some fun stories... so I hope you find it's worth it! :)

In this episode... we explore some of the various roads you can take to become a "Well-Paid Encourager." 

For me... it started as an "On-the-Side" Coach.  We were living the S.I.T.C.O.M. life... (single income, two children & oppressive mortgage... LOL), so that was the only way I could make it work.  BUT... I started.  (Spoiler alert: That's what I want for YOU too!  The starting... not the SITCOM life! HA!)

Then... I somewhat reluctantly added motivational speaking and workshops... although my first gig was VERY humbling and a little stinky too.  (You'll have to listen to know what I'm talking about there.

Next... I added events.  Although... in complete transparency... our first event was an act of total and utter desperation!  But it worked out and lead to some amazing things!

I'm wildly-grateful to say that even though each of these roads started in very humble ways... by the grace of God and some hard work (and strategies I'm going to be sharing with you in upcoming episodes) each has produced seven-figures in revenue!  It's crazy to say... but it's true.  And that's what I want for YOU too!

I want you to impact the people you feel called to help... AND I want you to become a Well-Paid Encourager as you do!

So... start.  Take that first step.

And if you've already started... keep moving forward.  Keep taking those small but significant steps forward!

The world needs encouragement.

The world needs YOU!

And hey... I believe... you're just one encouragement away from breakthrough!

So let's do this!

From a “bad-fit” job to being a “Well-Paid Encourager.”

Mitch Matthews went from being a frustrated pharmaceuticals sales rep to having a top-rated podcast and selling seven figures in life coaching and motivational speaking.

If you’re a mentor, coach, speaker or content creator AND you have a heart for encouraging others to live their best life and walk out their God-given potential… first off... that means you're awesome!

Secondly... Mitch wants to keep YOU encouraged and help you to become the “Well-Paid Encourager” you deserve to be!

With this first episode and each after THAT... he’s going to be sharing updates and strategies from his journey of building a successful coaching and speaking business... and has he's helping other coaches and speaker to hit 6-figures and beyond!

And don't sweat it. He’ll be shooting straight with you and teaching from the wins AND the losses!  He'll be talking about what works and what doesn't... in real time!  That way… you can grow faster, help more people, get paid well and avoid the pitfalls that stop a lot of coaches and speakers in their tracks!

Now... he breaks his rule and goes over the 10 minute mark... but "most" future episodes will be 10 or less!  But each will provide a useful business-building strategies as well as real-world and raw stories that will keep you encouraged, keep you on track and help you to become the “Well-Paid Encourager” you deserve to be!
