August 15, 2023EPS05:32 [Maria Tan] Algo-Proof Your Business
Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Christine Campbell Rapin
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.

My very special guest today is Maria Tan ...

Maria Tan, THE Business Coach for Misfits, empowers non-conformists globally in entrepreneurship. With a background as a cross-cultural consultant, she has coached over 1000 professionals and gained recognition in renowned publications. Maria's website, www.maria-tan.com, showcases her work. Starting her entrepreneurial journey from selling trinkets, she transitioned into coaching, emphasizing self-awareness and avoiding external validation.
Maria's business success comes from testing messaging and adapting to different markets. She stresses the need for a consistent message tailored to the target audience. Maria offers a free ebook on overcoming bad business habits in 2023 to aid entrepreneurs' growth.
Key Moments:
Know yourself before you can present yourself to others. Your value comes from within, not externally.

When faced with adversity or haters, allow yourself to feel your emotions but don't react immediately. Ground yourself before responding.

Don't see adversity as a sign that you're wrong. Frame it as an opportunity for change.

Focus on what you want to achieve, not on proving yourself to others. Others will never fully see your vision.

Test, evaluate, and get feedback to ensure you're creating value and delivering results.

The message should stay the same, but the way you package it depends on your target market.

Be honest with your own capacity and that of your team. Manage your expectations.

You don't need to change who you are, but you may need to change how you package and deliver your message.

Habits are everything. Good business habits can propel your success.

Walking your talk and owning your authentic value helps you stand out.

August 14, 2023EPS07:024 [Mark Rosenfeld] Unique Experience: Create Your Business
Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Richard Wray
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.

My very special guest today is Mark Rosenfeld ...

Mark overcame shyness, became a stripper, and observed how men behave around women. Women sought his advice, leading him to teach dating skills. His videos and book gained popularity. Mark advises entrepreneurs to take sales jobs early and capture their audience quickly. He helps clients transform their lives through deep work and fosters healthy conflict resolution.
Mark founded Make Him Yours in 2015, empowering women in their dating lives. He is Australia's top dating and relationship coach with millions of video views and a bestselling book.
Key Moments:
Facing your fears and discomfort is necessary to overcome shyness and grow confidence. Mark overcame his shyness by forcing himself to attend social events that scared him the most.

Identifying patterns in people's behaviors and results can provide insights to help them. Mark noticed patterns in the women he talked to that helped him understand why they attracted certain types of men.

Conflict and conflict resolution skills are important for relationships and businesses to succeed. Avoiding conflict leads to resentment and fragility.

You have to earn confidence through action, not wait until you feel confident. Confidence comes from doing things when you're not confident yet.

As an entrepreneur, you have to try things and act confident even if imperfect, to iterate and learn what the market wants.

Helping clients heal wounds from their past, resolve issues, and gain realizations can transform their lives.

Women gaining the confidence to trust men and finesse relationships, instead of forcing things, can be rewarding.

Think carefully about pursuing education, only do it if you're sure of the career path. Consider gaining real-world experience instead.

Gain sales experience early in life, even if uncomfortable, as it's a crucial entrepreneurial skill.

Capture your audience early by providing value and an entry-level offer, to build a loyal customer base from the start.

August 12, 2023EPS07:023 [Allen Gregory] Walk Away Wealthy
Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Richard Wray
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.

My very special guest today is Allen Gregory ...

Allen helps business owners plan their exit and succession, preserving their legacy and enabling retirement. He emphasizes the need for proper documentation and planning to ensure a smooth transition. Allen focuses on enhancing intangible capitals and recommends a 12-36 month collaboration to maximize exit value. The key advice: a business's value lies in its successful transferability.
Key Moments:
Having standard operating procedures in place is crucial for businesses to be transferable and valuable. Most businesses lack proper SOPs.

Succession planning and having a management layer in place is important for businesses to transition smoothly when the owner steps away.

Proper financial records and at least 3 years of financial data is needed to accurately value a business. Many businesses lack this.

The four intangible capitals - human, customer, structural and social capital - need to be in place to make a business more valuable and transferable.

It typically takes at least 12-36 months of work to properly prepare a business for exit or succession. Many owners wait too long.

Even thinking about retiring can subconsciously degrade a business, lowering its value by the time the owner is ready to sell.

Setting things up from the start to be transferable is important for business longevity and value.

Having standard operating procedures in place is attractive to potential buyers.

Buyers prefer businesses that will take care of existing employees and preserve the legacy of the owner.

Creating value, not just generating income, is important for business success and transferability.

August 11, 2023EPS06:28 [Leks Vucko] Five Lethal Mistakes
Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Mechelle McDonald
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.

My very special guest today is Leks Vucko ...
Leks has a unique background in sports, fitness, and nutrition, which she combines with mental and emotional techniques to make her clients unstoppable. She has successfully owned and operated a high-6-figure fitness studio, serving a diverse range of clients.
In her podcast, Leks discusses five lethal mistakes that entrepreneurs make online, including lack of sleep, poor nutrition, not taking time off, suboptimal environment, and overcommitment. Proper sleep, nutrition, time off, and a supportive environment are essential for entrepreneurs to perform at their best.
Key Moments:
Lack of proper sleep can be detrimental to business owners. Getting at least 6-8 hours of deep sleep per night is crucial for mental and physical health.

Nutrition and hydration are important for brain function and productivity. Business owners often neglect these basics.

Taking proper time off, even daily breaks, is essential for recharging and peak performance. Scheduling time off in advance helps ensure it happens.

Creating an environment that supports your goals and values is key. This includes things like where you work, who you surround yourself with, and what you expose yourself to.

Scheduling and planning ahead, even for the week, helps avoid wasting time and energy deciding what to do each day.

Developing second and third order thinking helps make better decisions by considering potential consequences and trade-offs.

Clarifying your values helps determine what to prioritize and say no to things that don't align.

Saying "let me get back to you" can buy time to properly consider commitments instead of automatically saying yes.

Focusing on your health and wellbeing actually allows you to be better for your family and business, not the other way around.

Making small changes over time can have a big impact, but consistency is key.

August 10, 2023EPS05:31 [Ian Westmoreland] Living Your Best Life
Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Christine Campbell Rapin
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.

My very special guest today is Ian Westmoreland ...

Ian Westmoreland left a successful IT career to establish two charities, Mentoring Men and Kintsugi Heroes, aimed at helping men overcome adversity through mentoring and inspiring stories. His strong "why" and focus on positive impact drive his persistence. Ian aspires for his charities to become global centers of excellence, providing hope and inspiration through relatable narratives. His passion and adaptability have enabled him to acquire necessary skills and overcome challenges. Ian's journey exemplifies the power of authenticity and reclaiming control of one's life.
Key Moments:
Ian left a lucrative IT career to devote himself full-time to volunteer work and charity.

Ian started a charity called Kintsugi Heroes which shares stories of people who have overcome adversity to inspire others facing challenges.

The name Kintsugi refers to the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, highlighting the damage instead of hiding it.

Ian underestimated how much work was involved in starting and running the charities. He works harder now than when he had a corporate job.

Many people have ideas and passions but don't act on them. Ian commits and persists despite challenges.

Ian measures success of his charities in terms of growth, impact, and number of people helped. The budget has grown from him funding it to over $1 million now.

Ian lacks skills in many areas needed to run the charities but finds people to help fill those gaps.

Ian wants his charities to have a global impact and help as many people as possible long after he's gone.

Ian wants Kintsugi Heroes to cover more themes of adversity and trauma to help more people.

Ian's charities and resources are all free to help make the world a better place.

August 09, 2023EPS06:27 [Amber Griffiths] Experience that Grows with You!
Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Mechelle McDonald
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.

My very special guest today is Amber Griffiths ...

Amber Griffiths, a Maker of Legends and Brand Strategist, helps coaches, authors, and business owners leverage their brand to become legendary. She works with clients who aim to create meaningful connections and deliver unforgettable experiences. Amber emphasizes the importance of intentional marketing and a brand-aligned presence to increase profits and impact lives.
She encourages entrepreneurs to show up authentically and let people feel their passion and inspiration. Amber's book, "Brand Like You Are Meant For More," inspires readers to let their brand reflect their true potential. The true alignment with one's brand is evident when talking about it ignites excitement and energy.
Key Moments:
Building a community and making clients feel like legends from the start can increase profits and impact lives by creating higher impact connections in a brand-aligned manner.

Legends are not made alone; they create something greater than themselves through the people and communities they impact.

An unforgettable experience comes from showing up authentically and letting clients feel you, be moved, and see things differently.

Allowing your brand to grow with you as you grow and change over time is important.

Connecting with clients on a human level through sharing your feelings and experiences builds trust and relationships.

Focusing on the emotional and experiential aspects of your business and clients is more impactful than just providing information.

Knowing your "why not" - what you cannot not do - can be a more powerful motivator than just your "why."

When you are truly aligned with your brand, you light up and get excited when talking about it.

Being the same authentic self on and off stage helps clients connect with you on a human level.

Showing vulnerability and letting clients see the real you helps them feel seen and builds a sense of community.

August 08, 2023EPS05:30 [Brian Sachetta] Navigating Law For Publishing Success
Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Christine Campbell Rapin
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.

My very special guest today is Brian Sachetta ...

Brian overcame mental health challenges and wrote books on anxiety and depression. Legal issues arose when a book with the same title emerged, leading to removal from Amazon. Brian learned to protect his intellectual property and diversify marketing channels. His revised book aims to help more people and cover legal costs. Brian's ultimate goal is improving lives, even if it means facing challenges. He owns the brand Get Out of Your Head® and has two books, a blog, and podcast appearances dedicated to supporting sufferers.
Key Moments:
Brian started writing books as a way to combine his entrepreneurial spirit and passion for mental health to help others struggling with anxiety and depression.

Brian learned the hard way about the importance of intellectual property protection when another publisher released a book with the same title as his.

Business owners need to be aware that platforms like Amazon can remove their products at any time, so they should diversify their distribution channels.

Brian now owns the trademark for his book series title to better protect his brand and intellectual property.

Building an email list and controlling the conversation around your brand are important ways for business owners to maintain control.

Brian's goal is to help as many people as possible with mental health issues through his books.

The most meaningful parts of Brian's journey have been when readers tell him his book helped prevent them from harming themselves.

Brian is revising his first book to make it stronger and hopes that will help grow his business and reach more people.

Brian focuses his social media presence on Instagram to avoid spreading himself too thin across multiple platforms.

Persevering through challenges and adversity is important for business owners to achieve success.

Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Richard Wray
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.

My very special guest today is Rod Williams ...

Rod Williams helps small businesses and startups improve their marketing and research strategies. He believes changing your mindset is key to success. Labels can limit us, so he helps people create new, empowering labels for themselves. Rod shares the story of how he went from smoking and drinking heavily to becoming a marathon runner. He advises entrepreneurs to not listen to other people's doubts but live their lives to the fullest. Rod invites listeners to join his Facebook group on interculturalism to make a difference in the world.
Key Moments:
Rod helps businesses and startups with marketing and research strategies, advising them to allocate 50% of their resources to these areas.

Rod describes himself as an interculturalist, meaning he believes cultures should teach and learn from each other to break down barriers.

Rod volunteers at an intercultural center where he first learned about interculturalism.

Rod believes changing your mindset is the first step to achieving success, not just gaining knowledge.

Rod helps people identify and let go of unhelpful labels that limit their potential.

Rod runs a 7 day mindset coaching challenge to help people transform their thinking.

Rod advises people to ignore the opinions of others ("goop") and live their lives to the fullest.

Speed and taking action quickly is important according to Rod, citing the example of his friend who got a promotion within 3 months.

Rod runs a Facebook group called Interculturalism to help spread his message.

Rod wants to help ensure the world is a better place for future generations.

August 05, 2023EPS07:021 [Mark Herschberg] The Future Of Content Engagement
Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Richard Wray
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.

My very special guest today is Mark Herschberg ...

Mark's diverse career spans startups, academia, and authorship. He emphasizes the importance of soft skills alongside hard skills. His Brain Bump app aids content retention. Mark notes a shift to personalized content access. While AI tools like GPT-3 have benefits, he warns against overwhelming users. Mark shares a transformative networking mindset shift.
With multiple patents and teaching experience, he is a recognized expert. Mark holds degrees in physics and electrical engineering & computer science from MIT and has contributed to finance education at Harvard Business School. He also supports non-profits, including Plant A Million Corals.
Key Moments:
Soft skills like communication, leadership, and networking are as important as hard skills and technical knowledge to effectively apply and communicate ideas.

Shifting one's mindset and perspective on a skill can unlock potential and make it easier to implement.

Content should be provided when and where it is most relevant to the user through pull media rather than push media.

Bite-sized content and spaced repetition can help people better retain information.

AI tools like GPT-3 can be useful, but may also lower standards and create an overwhelming amount of information.

Networking should be viewed as relationship building rather than just collecting contacts.

Quantitative skills and STEM fields are important, but soft skills give a multiplier effect on one's overall capability.

The Career Toolkit book and Brain Bump app aim to provide relevant content and tips through spaced repetition.

Context is important to effectively provide and consume content.

Having a supportive and nurturing family background that fosters a love of learning can provide a good foundation for success.

August 04, 2023EPS06:26 [Shauna Van Mourik] Comprehensive Solutions
Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Mechelle McDonald
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.

My very special guest today is Shauna Van Mourik ...

Shauna has evolved her business over the past decade, offering services such as blog writing, conversion copywriting, brand messaging, and organic content marketing. She aims to provide comprehensive solutions to her clients. Through her entrepreneurial journey, Shauna has prioritized personal development and strives to be her best self.
As an advocate for positive impact, she helps ambitious women lead confidently and inspire change in their communities. Shauna specializes in assisting female entrepreneurs in finding aligned clients through custom organic content marketing. She emphasizes the importance of marketing confidence and believes in using kindness and alignment to serve clients and promote equality. Shauna encourages women to speak up, lead authentically, and let go of contrived notions of professionalism.
Key Moments:
Alignment is important for business success. Being aligned with your goals, vision, and ideal clients helps you attract the right people and feel fulfilled.

Having boundaries and policies in your business is important for protecting yourself and serving clients better. You can frame boundaries as "business policies" to make them easier to enforce.

Marketing yourself authentically and in a way that feels good to you and your ideal clients is key. You're always marketing yourself in everything you do.

Stepping into your authentic power and leading with kindness allows you to raise your voice and make an impact in the world.

The concept of "professional" is subjective. What matters is being knowledgeable in your field and able to execute.

Giving yourself permission to shine in your own unique way and not conforming to others' expectations can unleash your best self.

Focusing on female entrepreneurs and helping them elevate their voices is empowering and can propel positive change.

Using metaphors like "getting out of the box" can help foster a growth mindset.

Retaining your humanity and kindness in business allows you to better serve clients and relate to them.

Art can provide inspiration for growth and thinking outside the box.
