Future Prompt with Eben Pagan

One of the hottest trends today is online education. And one of the fastest ways to “Get Ahead” is to take your knowledge and expertise and turn it into an online course people WANT to buy. 

In today’s episode, I talk with Greg Smith - the Founder of Thinkific - a platform that helps people create, market, and sell their online courses. In fact, before Thinkific, Greg started his own journey by creating an online course! 

Listen in as he reveals the secrets that took him from part-time entrepreneur … to owning one of the dominant platforms today in the online course space. 

In today’s episode:

• One thing every entrepreneur and course-creator needs to do … DAILY 
• How to set a proper deadline for building your course and stick to it (this is the KEY piece of advice Greg got from his brother) … 
• What entrepreneurial “balance” REALLY looks like (it’s not what you think) … 
• The kind of mindset you want to have if you’re really going to succeed with creating a course and life in general … 
• The concept of “giving away your Legos” and how it can help you scale your business FAST … 
• How a “wall of failures” can actually set you up to WIN - a lot more often … 
• And much more ...

If you’re going to dream ... dream BIG. It’s a shame, but so many people don’t allow themselves to go after what they really want. So they keep their dreams small and “realistic.” That’s why I’ve brought on today’s special guest - Christian Mickelsen. Starting from humble beginnings, he’s now the CEO of a multimillion-dollar coaching business. It’s won Inc. 5,000’s fastest growing companies in America for 4 years in a row! Listen in, as Christian shares key insights that can help you dream big again and achieve whatever level of success you want. 

In today’s episode:

• The one thing that’s better than willpower and motivation (this is what took Christian to a whole new level of success) … 
• What “no man’s land” is - and why it’s a dangerous place to be in if you want to achieve your dreams …
• How to create the “power” you need to transform your life … 
• One skill that everyone needs to practice (and can help you “organize” your thinking) … 
• Why Christian believes THIS is responsible for more than 90% of your success …
• A “secret formula” that everyone can apply to achieve BIG dreams … 
• A simple-but-powerful habit you can get into -  starting immediately - that can dramatically accelerate your achievement … 
• And much more ...

As achievers, it’s so easy for us to set goals. But sometimes the hard part is deciding whether we should be going after those goals in the first place. Today’s guest - Ashley Stahl - shares how to never settle and keep going after what’s right for you … so you avoid becoming an “achiever on autopilot.”

In today’s episode:

• What landing a job at the CIA taught Ashley about success and achievement…
• Why the common advice of “follow your passion” or “do what you love” is terrible advice and will get you nowhere … 
• The two different kinds of “gas” you can run on (and which will make your journey a heck of a lot more FUN) …

• What to do if you feel you’re “behind” right now in your life, your job, or your career as an entrepreneur …
• How to “pivot” on success (especially if you’ve been achieving the WRONG goals) ...
• And much more ...
