April 03, 2024Q1 Unwrapped: A Fresh Look at 2024's Start
It's the end of the quarter, but instead of feeling relieved, you feel swamped.
Despite having a to-do list you can handle, new things keep getting added - you're working overtime, dealing with unexpected problems, and feeling like you're always falling behind.
But what if you looked at this differently?
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos wraps up the first quarter with The Diamond Life Mentor Podcast's 88,000 unique listeners and 160,000 all-time downloads, along with the updates in the past 90 days of 2024 as a mentor and business owner.

Even in the high-ticket business, he, too, faces obstacles and negativity as he lives the same human experience. You need to understand this equality and appreciate that things will turn again in a different direction.

He also recommends resetting, reflecting, and detaching from the timeline. Think about how you've handled similar situations in the past. That identity is how you learned and grew from those experiences. Once you are grateful for your progress, it will give you the energy and motivation to keep going.

Did you finish a big project or learn a new skill? These achievements might seem small, but they're proof of your growth.

Track your numbers, especially each quarter, and use those data (whether in sales, expenses, investments, productivity, health, or nutrition) to compare and tweak your performance every time.

Feeling overwhelmed is normal. By taking breaks and consistently implementing what works for your identity, you will be stronger and more capable of new surprises in the future.

"You are relentlessly pursuing a better version of yourself. And if that's true for you, smile, and give yourself grace because you deserve that." - Balazs W Kardos

Listen to the full episode to make the most of your quarter check-in, not just with numbers, but with your well-being and growth.

March 20, 2024DLM Uncut: Leaning into Faith + Knowing When to Scale
There's no such thing as "the one perfect ad."
Even though a fellow entrepreneur has been bragging about crazy sales with peanuts for ad spend, and it feels like they're winning the game, leaving you stuck with your "meh" ad.
Fear creeps in because you don't get leads and sales yet, but guess what? You don't have to focus on one ad and treat it as your best buddy. It's just a tool in your marketing toolbox.
Remember what you've done on that first ad and its performance, but don't let it hold you back. Try new things, and create ads that resonate even deeper with your audience. With more other ads, you can tweak each one and talk directly to a different type of customer, in their own words, about the problems they care about.

In this episode of Diamond Life Mentor Uncut, Balazs W Kardos digs deep into ads and talks about fear, managing ad spending, return on ad spend (ROAS), front-end sales, cost per acquisition, and commissions with Csilla Deak, one of his students in the mentorship program.

Balazs tells her that the ad spend isn't a waste. The money she spends finding customers (ad spend) should flow back to her with interest (commissions). It's an investment because she's putting money into finding customers and hopefully getting more in return.

His advice? Keep A/B testing, set timelines, and diversify using different styles of photos and videos addressing people's problems. And that's how she will reach more people and make more sales, especially in direct response and network marketing.

"The most important number is how many front-end sales to make to get it back in an Enagic sale. Now, typically, this is about 30%. Some people have 50%, 60%, or 70%, which is even better. That means that ads, marketing, branding, and funnel are congruent to what they get when they pay." - Balazs W Kardos

Catch this episode to learn the "shotgun approach" to crush your ad game, test new ads, and skyrocket your sales.

Key Diamond Nuggets In This Episode:
How can you face fear when diversifying ads for your audience?
Why shift from having fear to gratitude in advertising?
How can your front-end commissions cover your ad spend in direct response marketing?
Why view your ads as an investment rather than an expense?
Why should you focus on the ad spend and the return on the ad spend ROAS)?

March 13, 2024Diamond Life Mentor Uncut: Coaching Client Transformation
You've been telling yourself a story, maybe one filled with doubts and negativity.
But sometimes, all it takes is a simple shift in perspective. Instead of believing those negative thoughts, you can say, "Hold on a minute, I don't believe that about myself. I am enough, and I deserve to feel good."
It might seem small, but it's a significant first step. By changing that inner voice, you can start to let go of the pain from the past and embrace the truth: you are worthy.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos dives deep into applying the power of personal transformation with one of his mentees in another Diamond Life Uncut call last February, as he answers Felipe's questions about overcoming limiting beliefs, building a connection with his audience, and tweaking his top and bottom sales funnel to achieve his goals.
Felipe thought he was doing great at his sales calls and advertisements by being pleasant and accommodating. Then he realized he wasn't making sales because despite showing them what they liked, he wasn't making a deep connection with them.

While the truth hurts, Balazs tells Felipe it is part of the process. What matters now is he will be more authentic to his leads by sharing his story, wins, and challenges, and make sure he also practices daily gratitude, visualization, and meditation for his personal development.

"By sharing our defining moments, we create deeper connections and understanding of ourselves, the world, and others. It's how we become authentic in a leveraged way." - Balazs W Kardos

Listen to this episode to discover how honesty, vulnerability, and connecting with your audience can take your business to a new level.

Key Diamond Nuggets In This Episode:
What is the difference between being nice and authentic in sales calls that hinder sales?
How can you overcome limiting beliefs to achieve goals?
Why should you build deeper connections with your leads?

How do the top and bottom sales funnel get disconnected when closing leads?

March 06, 202411 Year Anniversary + 1 Year Anniversary of Podcast
Many people romanticize success.
You see stories of dream lifestyles, sales figures, homes, cars, traveling the world, etc. It can be inspiring, but there is also the dark side of discouragement.
And it is where the "It Doesn't Matter How" mindset becomes crucial - an approach that isn't about dismissing the achievements of others but about shifting your focus from the "how" of success (the specific numbers, strategies, or timelines) to the "what": consistent, focused action.
That is because these successful people reach their goals through hard work, and believing you can do that is more important than thinking it is impossible to achieve those numbers.

Imagine that happening after eleven years as Balazs W Kardos celebrates his double anniversary in Enagic and The Diamond Life Mentor podcast!

From starting with 80 sales in the first year, he increased it to 46,000 in five years, joined the ranks, bought his dream home, and crossed the exponential growth curve because of the sequence of leadership, sales team, and overall collective effort that he established. In February 2024, he made 270,785 high-ticket product sales in the Global Prosperity Movement, 1,446 people in his community ranked 6A, 78k unique listeners, and 128k podcast downloads.

His secret was to focus on the data and not how long it took him. That is why his vision finally happened and continued to grow because everybody was duplicating - he did not celebrate success alone because he helped more people create expansion. And that is what makes the Diamond Life happen.

"There is no ceiling on your potential. The growth never stops. So even though we always think like when we’re here, we’re done, no. You're there, but you get to go to the next part of the journey." - Balazs W Kardos

Tune into this episode to focus on taking action, learning from mistakes, and not letting the gap between you and those success stories hold you back.

Key Diamond Nuggets In This Episode:
Why does your income grow with skill development?
Why should you focus on data and not time?
What makes a great leader when celebrating success?
How can you set measurable goals?
Why should you invest your time and energy in personal growth?

February 28, 2024DL Mentor Uncut: Client Success Interview w/ Carlos Gonzales
Do you know that even having a professional background in your chosen career or business doesn't mean you shouldn't seek help from someone else?
Imagine being a nutritionist and owning a wellness clinic and a gym - it's a whole health and fitness package, right? Everything was working successfully, but suddenly between 2009-2011, the business faced its biggest challenges. As an entrepreneur, you realized that despite the experience, you lacked something crucial - salesmanship and personal development.
Face-to-face contact with clients does not guarantee you have the skills to close deals, nurture, and sustain them, especially if you're not using the right technology, are inconsistent, and are not visualizing your goals every single day.
Balazs W Kardos shares Carlos Gonzales' journey in today's Diamond Life Mentor Uncut Success Interview when he discovered Enagic through someone who became his mentor by telling his transformation and the power of water behind it.

Without this person approaching him, sharing his story and how the business works, he would not have believed what success it brings by just buying this special water for the gym.
Ultimately, clarity brought him closer to learning more about the high-ticket business.

When Carlos outgrew his first mentor, he needed to reset and did a 7-year sabbatical to realign his vision. That's when he joined the convention and discovered the Diamond Life Mentorship Program in October 2020. Carlos learned more about showing up consistently, personal development, started daily routines for his morning and night rituals, practiced visualization and gratitude, and became a better leader for his community. Now, he hits his $20k weekly income goals, ranks 6A2-3, and aims to earn $83k-100k monthly by the end of 2024.

"You possess the most valuable skill - being coachable and putting your ego aside. Many young people lack this skill. And then a coach and a mentor's goal, even in myself in my business, and my coaching business, is I want people to outshine the master. You did it before, and that is the biggest compliment for me." - Balazs W Kardos

Don't miss this episode to discover how having a mentor's support, sharing your story, personal growth, powerful practices, and taking bold steps can help scale your business.

Key Diamond Nuggets In This Episode:
Why should you invest in a mentorship program?
How do you practice daily morning or evening routines effectively?
Why take a sabbatical to focus on business?
Why is personal development crucial for success?
What was Carlos Gonzales' secret to hitting a $20k weekly income goal that outgrew his mentor?

February 21, 2024Momentum Mastermind Guest Speaker
When you appreciate what you have, it turns obstacles into opportunities. Failures become lessons that build resilience.
Gratitude is your way of looking at setbacks, not as roadblocks but as stepping stones on your journey to success. And that makes you stronger to try and test again, start a new business, and continue moving forward.
In the same way, Balazs W Kardos accepted opportunities and faced challenges from selling low-ticket networking marketing products like slimming coffee and shakes promoting a business opportunity on health and fitness to high-ticket sales.
Though he succeeded in selling these low-ticket products, he did not settle for less to provide his family and himself with the lifestyle and freedom they deserved.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos speaks from his experience as a guest in Momentum Mastermind last January 30. Balazs highlighted how Enagic, like water, has the potential to bring life to both personal and business aspects. With $168 million in sales revenue and 80 product sales in 2023, $100 million went to his community and changed many lives.

He chose Enagic because of leverage - how its business model can transform lives using the essence of water. That is when he recognized having the right timing as a business owner, looking at favorable moments, and taking action despite having yet to have sales for 21 days in January 2014.

By fearlessly focusing on a single product, not letting rejection discourage him, and strategically working on generating leads through invitations and tracking numbers, he and his team achieved outstanding results and exponential growth. That, for him, shows a delicate balance between gut feelings, market trends, and calculated risk-taking.

"Forgive yourself for any procrastination you've been doing. I want you to forgive yourself for any fear holding you back from any habits you should be practicing, but you're not currently forgiving yourself on this momentum." - Balazs W Kardos

Join Balazs W Kardos to learn about his Enagic journey and how it can help you build connections, strengthen relationships, and embrace gratitude.

Key Diamond Nuggets In This Episode:
Why are gratitude and perseverance essential for success?
Why is Enagic a great product and business model for helping people?
What is the transformative power of water in business and personal life?

February 14, 2024DL Mentor Uncut: Client Success Interview w/ Dale Mohney and Hannah Borchardt
Have you ever been 100% committed to something after facing multiple challenges?
It is what starting a business looks like. Going all in means more than just testing the waters because you are diving in with everything you've got. You have to take risks.
It may involve launching something new, entering a new market, testing new strategies, or joining a mentorship program to get feedback, scale, and reach your goals.
In another Diamond Life Uncut Success Story Interview, Balazs W Kardos shares Dale Mohney and Hannah Borchardt's story of living the Diamond Life after moving to Tampa, Florida, to live together, travel more, and grow their business full-time without the 9 to 5.
After being in a long-distance relationship, joining online businesses, getting scammed for over $2,500, and having separate jobs, investing in the Diamond Life Mentorship Program changed how they handle business and personal life.
Within 12 weeks of being in the mentorship, they consistently earned five-figure months like no other job or income source. It began with a mindset shift to step out of their comfort zone. They aimed to earn sales, acquire leads, and qualify them to ensure they align and get value. They continued asking for feedback and identifying areas of improvement to change their strategy for the better.
This year, Dale and Hannah target to rank 6A by June, reach 50 product sales, and help 40 people earn $3k-5k monthly with $30-50k in commissions.

"It's like preparing their mindset to see it. They need to see it to receive the information the way it is. Because if you look at something with the wrong mindset, you see the almost like the opposite." - Balazs W Kardos

Catch this episode to explore new horizons, take calculated risks, and know the importance of joining a mentorship program to scale your business.

Why do you need to qualify your leads before making a sale?

February 07, 2024My Daily Method of Operation In My First Year
Every entrepreneur faces challenges, especially in the first year in business, transitioning from having a job to investing in a venture without guaranteed sales or return on investment.
But this is also where excitement, resilience, creativity, and determination come into play as you face rejection, failure, and judgment from other people in the process.
That is why there should be a "daily method of operation" to overcome these obstacles as soon as the initial year.
One of Balazs W Kardos' mentees asked about his daily method of operation in one of their Diamond Life Mentorship calls, which led him to share how he went from the bottom to the top and his community ranking first for four months in a row in a global contest after ten years in business.
Balazs suggests that the key to reaching your goals and dreams is taking action without avoiding fear and rejection. He stayed determined and saw setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow.
And Balazs didn't just talk about his goals. He also asked for advice from others to improve his strategies and balanced his work with his personal life, understanding that both were important for long-term success.

He also recommends that whatever you learn, you have to do it and teach it. Balazs' success shows that when you share your journey with others, you gain more knowledge and can help others. If you persevere, have sales skills, and are a leader, anything is possible.

By the end of 2024, he expects to reach $250 million in sales and see a 30% increase in monthly downloads.

"I wasn't attached to what people would say. And, to me, it was a numbers game where I had to feel like I didn't waste a day. That was the level of urgency that I operated with, that became my daily method of operation." - Balazs W Kardos

Tune into this episode to explore the nuances of entrepreneurship and learn how to navigate fear, failure, and judgment during the first year in business.

Key Diamond Nuggets In This Episode:
How do you balance work and personal life when transitioning into business?
How can you transfer your current skill set to leverage in entrepreneurship?
Why prioritize learning, doing, and teaching daily to be successful?

January 31, 2024The Key to Optimizing Life and Business Results
In life and business, getting things right often means keeping a close eye on what you're doing. It's like having a personal guide to show you the way.
And the thing is, results do not always indicate growth because it's a numbers game - you'll know if you're doing something right once you see the data around your routines.
For your health, it means keeping track of things like how much you walk, what you eat, and how well you sleep; in business, understanding the numbers behind sales, leads, and cost per lead is crucial.
In this episode, Balazs W Kardos wants you to determine your ratio of success by tracking and measuring your goals and paying attention to business and health goals as he celebrates the Diamond Life Mentor Podcast's 50th episode milestone.

He wants you to ensure that regardless of making sales, you should understand your base amount to spend in business to remain profitable. The key is to put an arbitrary amount for each lead, know how many leads you get and the sales they generate, and how those same leads continue to buy your products and services over time.

But you cannot be productive in sales if you are not healthy enough to operate the business. That is why, aside from staying on track with sales and leads, Balazs shares his secrets to preventing a plateau in fitness by meal planning, eating a balanced diet, checking his macros, sleep levels, and his goals around them.

Lastly, use apps or tools that simplify the process and remind you to get moving. And from there, you're one step closer to your growth because of commitment and daily dedication.

"Track your progress to achieve your goal, whether it's body weight, body fat, income, or any metric. Use this data to teach others and succeed in your work."- Balazs W Kardos

Listen to this episode to simplify success and optimize your life by tracking your habits, health, and business metrics.

Key Diamond Nuggets In This Episode:
Why is tracking and measuring habits a must for personal and business growth?
How is your physical health and energy relevant to your business improvement?
Why should you start meal planning for your fitness goals?
What tools can you use to optimize your habit-tracking?
How can you maintain a healthy personal and business life to achieve the Diamond Life?
