It is very easy to curate content and publish it. Be careful not to believe. Be vigilant on those people who want to look successful and those that are successful. It's far better to be successful and blur in the background while helping clients achieve their goals than trying to look successful.

The first thing that a business mastermind will do is we'll get you to your result way faster than if you try  to do it yourself. Being in a mastermind is an opportunity to work "on" your business as oppose to "in" your business. The group accountability within the mastermind allows you to observe others on the same journey or those who've been on the journey a bit farther than you, or those behind you. The connections made in the mastermind is life changing.

The real fear is success. It can hinder your growth as a business because you're not comfortable with what you perceive might happen if you become successful. Step out of your comfort zone of being the odd one out.  Be comfortable with being different. Once you acknowledge the fear or discomfort of success, it's amazing what can start to shift after.

The primary goal of running a business is to make a profit with the least amount of effort. If you genuinely offer an incredible service then you should be fairly renumerated.  Now is a great time to be reviewing your pricing making sure to explain why to avoid assumptions. Working hard to become successful is a myth. Instead, you need to be smart to become successful.  Self-worth is what it really comes down to.

Can you run your week more effectively? You can manage your time better with a default diary. The bare essence of a default diary is creating themed days for every day of the working week. Create a day for growth which is for learning and implementation as well as a business development day intended for sales. Also, you need to get a system, be organized, be clear on what needs to be done and make sure to implement in order to achieve great outcomes.

When was the last time you genuinely took some time off? As a business leader, you need to optimize your health and performance. If you don't take time off, you're doing a disservice to your clients and your business and sometimes may lead you to make bad decisions. Having some time off gives you an opportunity to get creative again. It's hard to do this if it's only you in your business. Having a team for support and creating your own systems is critically important. Take a moment, breathe deeply, and be kind to yourself.

The number one obstacle in growing a business is belief systems around what is possible, what you're capable of, and your ceilings. What makes it most challenging is acknowledging that you have it but then embracing the discomfort of the growth required to break it. You have to embrace the discomfort of growth. If you're not uncomfortable, you're not going to grow. The more uncomfortable you are, the more likely you are to follow through and make it work. Mindset is everything.

As a video production company, it's very easy to get burned out. Remove yourself from being the first point of contact and being the bottleneck of your own business. Create a system for how you deal and communicate with clients. Protecting your time and energy levels allows you to create a meaningful change in people's lives and their businesses.

How to be more effective with the time you have? As a creative, managing all of your thoughts can be overwhelming. You need to have different days for different themes so your brain can clearly engage in what's happening on a given day. Creating a default diary and having a team as your support can help take away some of the work that you shouldn't be focusing on as a business owner.  It's far better to do things a little often than doing it all at once. The secret to productivity is consistency.

• Dear listener,

Den interviews a young whippersnapper coaching client named Josh Langmade whose video production company has skyrocketed to success in just a few short years. How'd he do it? Can you steal some of his secrets? Are there insider secrets to building a profitable video production business in record time?

All great questions...and all are answered inside this episode.

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear:

• The "R' word that is the backbone behind every service business that has a horde of happy and loyal clients and customers. - 0:30
• How the "good old boy's club" in Josh's hometown has unwittingly helped Josh grow his business. - 1:30
• How to turn your breakfast time into the most profitable and valuable time of your day. - 2:45
• An eye-opening look inside the heads of successful entrepreneurs. (There is a huge belief dichotomy that's driving almost every highly successful entrepreneur. Here's what this... - 4:00)
• The "Bust Arse" business philosophy. - 5:40
• How to use an ancient Chinese philosophy to hire the best people for your business. - 10:00
• The dangers of never having your business decisions questioned or challenged. (The truth is, most business owners never have their business ideas or strategies questioned or challenged, and it's probably why 50% of small businesses are on life support by their fifth year and almost 90% of all start-ups fail. - 15:40)
• A totally counterintuitive (but very effective) mindset to achieving more in business with less effort. - 20:00
• A laughably simple piece of business advice (often taught to kindergarten students, believe it or not) even experienced business people overlook. - 21:00)
