Jaime Masters: Welcome to Eventual Millionaire. I am Jaime Masters and I am ridiculously excited to have my very good friend, Joe Sanok, on the show. He runs Practice of the Practice. He teaches different therapists and psychotherapists how to actually start and grow their practice. Thank you so much for coming on the shoe today.

Joe Sanok: Jaime, I am so excited to be here.

Jaime: When we were giggling, or I was giggling, you were probably laughing like a man beforehand.

Joe: I can giggle. I have two daughters. I can giggle every once in a while.

Jaime: Because we have been friends for such a long time, so it’s so amazing to have you on the show. Explain to everybody what exactly Practice of the Practice does.

Joe: We help healthcare professionals, mostly counselors in private practice, chiropractors, massage therapists, to start, scale, and grow their private practices with really innovative ideas. So, things that we typically don’t learn in grad school.

Jaime: And that’s the funny thing. No offense, but when you look at the service professional side, what they’re learning on the skillset side is amazing. What they’re learning on the business side, like literally people will come to me and be like, oh, I’m supposed to get my business cards and hand them out at networking events, right? And that’s sort of the old-school way. Don’t get me wrong. That stuff can actually work too. But you actually go over a lot more ideas. So, what do you say “innovative” is?

Joe: I think a lot of those traditional ways still really work in the private practice space.

For well over a decade we have seen how speaking is the fastest way to grow a business or organization – we see so many people with important messages getting frustrated with other channels. Each marketing channel has a purpose (and we now do use more than just speaking ourselves), however when you want to connect with your audience in a more personal way – speaking is the way to go.

And it’s not just about speaking in person OR booking large national stages (though there are benefits to both). Digital stages (including podcasts) and even the local stages in your backyard are goldmines of possibility for people with a message to share.

We believe Stages are one of the fastest ways to build your business, and they both started their businesses by getting on stages. Did you know that there are 40 different online stages and 40 different offline stages that you can be on? To see your business explode, you only need to know how to get on a select few of them.

In this session, Pete Vargas will teach you the step-by-step system that he and his team have used to FIND & BOOK over 25,000 stages across the world (including Mindshare, the White House & Oprah).

Learning Objectives for this Session:

Find out who controls stages and how to win them over

The Business Model of Speaking: all the Offline and Online Stages you can get on

Gold mining: How to find the right stages for you (this is one of the biggest challenges people face)

Learn our step-by-step marketing campaign that’s been responsible for winning over 25,000 stages!

Bold Promise: Start winning stages within the Next Week!

Jaime: Welcome to “Eventual Millionaire.” I’m Jaime Masters, and I finally have on the show today Pete Vargas III, who has no middle name. Funny I just found that out. You can find him at advanceyourreach.com, and he is really amazing at helping people in business be on the stage, and actually be good at it and sell more.

Thanks so much for coming on the show today.

Pete: Yeah, I’m excited to be here. I feel like I have known you for a long time. We have so many common friends, and we’re finally connecting.

Jaime: I know, I really do feel like I already know you, especially now that I know you have no middle name, where we’re actually connected. But Pat Flynn was the one that was like, “Oh, Pete Vargas, blah blah blah.” And your name was dropped everywhere. I thought I knew all the people, but I didn’t know you yet. So tell me a little bit about how you came into being, so that way – not into actually being, but you know what I mean.

Pete: Yes, let’s got there. Well, mom and dad – no, I’m just joking. Yeah, Pat, I love Pat, so I hope the blah blah blah was good blah blah blah.

Amazing, good. No, I – yeah, I grew up in Texas, and I went to school in Texas, and thought I was going to go into the corporate world,

I invited amazing business owner Dr. John Berardi on the show, not only to hear about how he grew to over 50 employees, but to give us the research on how we can be smarter, better business owners.

Our health, and mental state affects our business, and I wanted to know the simple changes we needed to make to get into a peak state. You won’t want to miss this!

Jaime: Are you ready for something different today? I've been doing research, over a hundred millionaires that I've been interviewing, especially for this book coming up. One thing that I noticed that I thought was really interesting is less than ten percent of them are either overweight or obese. I thought that was interesting especially because you hear the reports that over fifty percent of America is overweight or obese. I was trying to find out more information on this, especially because personally I know that I work better when I eat better. Since you guys are all business owners, self-employed, entrepreneurs, I wanted to bring you some more information on maybe what we can be doing to make ourselves better. Right? Better, faster, stronger, superhuman. So I actually brought Dr. John Berardi on the show. He's going to be talking all about that. Not only the nutrition side of things which is a little bit different, he also talks about how he grew a huge nutritional business, in a huge multi-million dollars, and he's amazing at that too. I got to ask him a ton of questions about that. It's packed with information, with small tweaks and changes you can be doing in your personal life or in your business to make a big difference. So it's a little different, and I hope you like it. Take care.

Jaime: Welcome to Eventual Millionaire. I'm Jaime Tardy, and today I'm really excited to have Dr. John Berardi on the show. He owns a company called Precision Nutrition, and as I was writing my book, I was trying to find out more information, especially research driven scientific information on how to be better business owners by what we eat and how we exercise. He was highly recommended by many, many people. He actually was named one of the twenty smartest fitness coaches by Livestrong dot com. The other thing is, apparently he also helped train UFC fighters, one specifically George St. Pierre who I adore. You guys know that. We're really excited to have him on the show today. Thanks so much for coming on, John.

John: Thank you for having me. This is a real honor to be part of this. I just appreciate you reaching out and giving me the forum to share some great information with all of viewers and listeners.

Jaime: Awesome. What I'm going to do and we're going to do this a little bit differently than I normally do. Normally we only talk about business, but at first we're going to talk about business with John because he has a ridiculousl...

Jason has had 4 businesses that were all a million or more in revenue. He gives hardcore advice and tactics to get you more revenue, AND tells us how to know if we have a great business idea.

His newest startup is WPEngine (my hosting company that I LOVE!) and he describes in detail how he knew that this would be a million dollar plus business before he started.

Check out WPEngine.com for more info!

He also has an amazing blog at ASmartBear.com

Thanks so much for listening!

Transcript:

Jaime: I’m so lucky to have Jason Cohen on the show today. He is a serial entrepreneur who has started over four businesses that have all done revenue of over $1 million – way over on some of them – so he is the guy to listen to. Today he goes through, step-by-step, exactly how he recently created WP Engine, which is a hosting company that I use, and he has got it over $1 million already, even though it’s still a baby. He talks about how to validate your idea – what he went through, the step-by-step process that he went through to figure out whether it was a good idea or not. It’s not just people saying ‘Yes, that’s a good idea.’ That’s not it. He also talks about how to increase and double your revenue – he’s all about doubling. I hope you get a ton out of this interview – I know I did.

Announcer: Welcome to the Eventual Millionaire podcast with your host, Jaime Tardy. Real talk and real advice from real millionaires, with a sharp focus on you – the eventual millionaire.

Jaime: Welcome to Eventual Millionaire. I’m Jaime Tardy and today on the show we have Jaosn Cohen. Jason is super cool,I met him in Austin, Texas, and he is the founder of WP Engine which I actually just switched over to, about two or three weeks ago, for my hosting company. So far I love them, they’ve been wonderful – which is what he wants he hear! HE doesn’t want to hear me say they suck! One of the things that I’ve found really interesting about his background is that he’s started over four companies, all with over $1 million in revenue, all profitable, which is also huge, and he hasa ton of experience, so I’m super excited to have him on the show today. Thanks so much for coming on, Jason.

Jason: Thanks for having me.

Jaime: You have an incredible track record. The first thing I want to ask is did you always know you wanted to be an entrepreneur?

Jason: I always knew that I needed to do things my own way and the really nice way to say that and hopefully make some money is to become an entrepreneur instead of just a disgruntled employee which, I have no doubt, I would have done if I hadn’t been lucky enough to find this path instead.

Jaime: Fired over and over again, right?

Jason: I think you’re either built to need to do your own thing and start your own company or not. Hopefully that can be channeled in a positive way and you’ll also be successful and stay on that path. Some people watch movies like the Facebook movie and say ‘That sounds fun, I want to do that,’ and they won’tsucceed because it’s not in their DNA. I think they just have it.

I bring you THE Seth Godin. He usually doesn’t like talking about money specifically because it’s not part of his mission. He wants people to create their art, regardless of the money. But I had to ask, what if the money doesn’t come?

Welcome to Eventual Millionaire. I’m Jaime Tardy and today I am lucky to have Seth Godin on the show. I am super excited. He has written a new book called The Icarus Deception. It was all through kick starter. Did an amazing job on that and I am really excited. Thank you so much for coming on, Seth.

SETH GODIN: Thanks for having me and thanks for the generosity in the work you do.

JAIME TARDY: Thank you. That’s the first time someone has ever thanked me, as I’ve had them show. Thank you very much. Tell me first a little bit about Icarus Deception, because I know my friend Natalie Sisson took pictures of it, because I don’t have it yet. She took pictures of it so I could read and get a gist more about what I wanted. Go ahead and tell us a little bit more about it.

SETH GODIN: I don’t know if I can give you a gist, but I can give you a rant.

JAIME TARDY: Please.

SETH GODIN: We all grew up and our parents grew up and our grandparents grew up with an industrial mindset. Industrialists make a lot of money. They made us all rich. Industrialism is about polishing the systems that exist to make them a little faster, a little cheaper and a little bit more reliable. Black Friday and buying a lot of stuff for Christmas and getting a raise and getting a good parking space and going to a famous college and making yes a million dollars, those are all industrial outputs and we’ve been doing it for so long we think it’s normal.

I wrote this rant for several reasons. The first is it’s not normal. It has only been going on for 100 years. Second it’s ending. It’s ending really in quite a crash the way all old eras end and there is a new revolution right here, our revolution, that has nothing to do with calmly and repeatedly churning out a little bit more of what we used to do and everything to do about connection and art and making a ruckus and making a difference and mattering and doing work that we’re proud of and so what drives me every day and has for a long time is what sort of impact do we have the privilege to make.

JAIME TARDY: Tell me what is this new revolution? How can we know what this next trend is so we can be a part of it?

SETH GODIN: Matt Ridley has a great riff. This is a computer mouse and he points out that there is no one on earth who knows how to make one; no one. If it weren’t for the organized efforts of 50,000 people, you could not make a mouse. Between getting the metal, creating the plastic, understanding the software, understanding the hardware, understanding the operations and then shipping it to your house, this is the work of a team of people and that team of people coordinated everything with nothing but this.

When we think about how rich and detailed our interactions are now compared t...

David Allen is the godfather of productivity. If you haven’t read his books yet, you must. But it’s one thing to read a great productivity system, and it’s very different to implement it and sustain those tactics in your everyday life. In this episode I grill David to find out how to make daily overwhelm disappear, and how to organize everything in business and life. (and keep it organized!!)

You don’t want to miss this!

Here is a quick visual of the GTD workflow so you can understand how to implement pieces into your life today.

Jaime: Have you ever felt overwhelmed? Have you ever said “I wish I had enough time,” or “I don’t have enough time for that?” That’s something that entrepreneurs say over and over and over again. Today’s episode I feature the godfather of productivity, David Allen, from the book Getting Things Done. Now if you haven’t heard of it yet, you need to go out and get it, or watch this episode because he does a whole recap on exactly what that is. He doesn’t think you should have anything, anything in your head. No to-do’s, no remembering the milk, no, none of that stuff. All of it should be out in a system that you can trust. Now I’ve learned all about Getting Things Done, and I thought it was really difficult to implement at first until I did this interview with him. Listen in because he sort of scolds me on exactly what I should be doing, and it’s helped tremendously. I did this interview a few weeks ago, and I just wanted to do the intro after I had done a few weeks of it. Let me just say it has really changed all of my productivity. Thank you so much, David Allen, from me, and I hope you enjoy listening to it. David is a riot. Take care.

Jaime: Welcome to Eventual Millionaire. I’m Jaime Tardy, and I’m really excited today to have David Allen. He wrote the amazing book called Getting Things Done. I’m sure you’ve heard of it before. If you haven’t, you might have been living under a rock. We like to call him the godfather of productivity. I’m so excited he said yes to come on the show today. Thanks so much for coming on, David.

David: Sure thing, Jaime. I’m happy to be here.

Jaime: So just so you know the people that are listening to this either want to be entrepreneurs or are entrepreneurs. What I would love to know because you’ve been doing this for a very long time, do you have any tips, like one or two quick tips on what entrepreneurs can do to really get their schedule better? If you know, people that are entrepreneurs have a thousand ideas and not a lot of productivity habits that we stick with. So do you have any one or two things that we might be able to do?

David: You know, overall, especially for people who are kind of running their own show and wearing a lot of different hats, it becomes particularly critical that you get the appropria...
