IMPACT Driven

Today I want to walk you through 5 of the top tools every entrepreneur should be using:

• Website
• Lead capture funnel
• CRM
• Communication tools
• Customer relations

Check out the Teen Catalyst camping event and workshop happening June 24-26.

Groove.cm is my #1 recommended software for 3 of the 5 tools I mentioned above.

I've been a lawyer for over 12 years. Spent most of my career working in personal injury, but after starting my own business, started spending a lot of time working to reduce my own taxes. Eventually, I realized most other business owners couldn't or didn't figure out what I had, and so started my new business.

I'm a father to two daughters and a son and a husband. I'm currently living in the North Dallas Suburbs, but am hoping to get out onto 5-10 acres in North Texas before the end of 2023.

Here's some of what we discuss:

• Why are you the “agorist tax advisor?”
• What is a “Tax Advisor”?
• How is it different than a tax attorney or an accountant?
• What’s the big deal with saving taxes- is saving 1-2% such a big deal?
• Are there any advantages to having a tax advisor who is an attorney instead of an accountant?
• Any advantages to having an accountant instead?
• What sorts of mistakes to you see people making on their taxes?

Quote of the day:

― Geneen Roth, Women, Food and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything

My answer to last week's question of the week:

I’m a “C/D” personality type, I overanalyze, then get tired of things taking too long, and charge ahead, sometimes leaving a wake of destruction….or half done things….behind me.

Stories from real life/what I’m doing to create more liberty in my life:

Prepping for Teen Catalyst event

Setting hens with different personalities

News/personal development article highlight/book review:

I’ve deviated from my reading list that I set for myself at the start of the year. I haven’t given up on it, but I’ve inserted a couple other books that struck me. One is called ‘The Purpose Driven Youth Ministry, the other one is the ‘The Case for IBC’.

IBC is the infinite banking concept, the idea of becoming your own banker.I don’t fully understand it, but I’m highly interested and excited about the potential I see in it to build generational wealth, and I’m trying to get someone on the podcast to talk about it.

Social media spotlight/podcast episode recommendation:

Check out the Fireside Freedom Podcast, a collaboration effort with fellow podcasters,a discussion on how to create MORE freedom in your life. 

Also, go listen to A Farmish Kind of Life, episode 205. I had the pleasure of chatting with Amy Dingman all about personalities. It was a fantastic chat.

Main topic:

Set out to do a thing, and we over analyze it.

We allow other people’s fears to control us

We have a first instinct for the thing but end up listening to the voices inside our head or from other people telling us we can’t do the thing, we don’t have what it takes

Then before we even have a chance to get started and suck at whatever it was, before we have a chance to learn the lesson that getting started would teach us, we get derailed and quit.

If you go back to when you were a child, most likely you LOVED new experiences. 

You LOVED the zoo, and all the crazy looking animals. 

You LOVED going to the beach and picking up all the strange looking creatures and seeing how far out you could swim.

You climbed as high as you could up the tree.

You met and played with new people.

You LOVED trying new food….wait….what? No you didn’t. No kid likes trying new food.

You explored new places and tried new things every chance you got.

The fears you experienced came from the people around you. If your mom or dad was the fearful type, you too became fearful. If they were afraid of you being kidnapped, you too became afraid of every new person you saw.

Teen Catalyst father/son camping workshop takes place in June. Get your tickets while they're still discounted.

Main topic: How personality affects goal setting

If you do not have a desired outcome for your life, you will become a wanderer, like a balloon when it is filled with air and then let go, you will fly aimless in every direction without purpose just using up energy and time.

A Dream is a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person’s mind. Everyone has a Dream, but most dreams are buried deep down inside every person until they are brought to the “surface” they might as well be Dead Dreams.

A Vision on the other hand, is the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom (or alternative - a mental image of what the future will or could be like).

As a "D" type, you want to know the WHAT. You seek the big idea or picture. You are direct and to the point. Your goals center around accomplishments, money, and results. You want it done the fastest way. Yesterday, if possible.

As an "I" type, you want to know WHO - else is setting goals. You seek exciting and fun goals. Your goals are centered around YOU being a star, being admired, and getting recognition. You want it done the fun way.

As an "S" type, you want to know HOW - to easily set goals. Your goals center around security, relationships, and teamwork. You like setting group goals, and prefer getting things done the traditional way.

As a "C" type, you want to know WHY - so you can correctly set your goals. You like credibility, so you do your homework. Your goals center around correctness, value, and being right. You want things done the proper way, according to the plan, and you set goals accordingly.

Main topic: Personal Development

At the top of Maslow's hierarchy of needs is self-actualization, or what I call PURPOSE.

Areas Of Life And Self In Consideration Of Self-Improvement

• Mental/Psychological
• Emotional
• Social/Relationships
• Professional/Work
• Spiritual
• Recreational
• Physical
• Lifestyle
• Spiritual Development

Once you have a clear picture of where you want to be you can start planning on how you will

get there. This can go in your personal development plan and while it isn't essential a

personal development plan makes it all feel more real.

Use The Model Of S.M.A.R.T. Goals In Your Planning

• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Relevant
• Time-Bound

Examples Of Methods To Engage In Self-Improvement

• Therapy
• Support Groups
• Life Coaches
• Read About What You Want To Improve
• Find A Mentor
• Create A Practice Routine
• Stay Consistent In Your Endeavors And Plan
• Be Honest With Yourself
• Journal
• Find Like Minded People With Same Goals

Methods to Track Your Progress

• Journal your journey. Make notes on your key developmental points so you can reflect on them often.
• Notice positive changes in your life as a result of your work
• Check in with yourself regularly as to the issue you are working on
• Stay accountable share your progress with a friend or therapist

11 Rules Of Personal Development

1. It is never too late to take active steps towards personal development.
2. You don't have to need it to benefit from personal development.
3. You don't have to be unhappy or unfulfilled to benefit from personal development.
4. There is no single way to do personal development right.
5. Your personal development journey is your own and it won't look the same as anyone else's. So, what works for your friend might not work for you and vice versa.
6. Not all personal development resources are created equally.
7. Just because you experience failure does not mean you should stop, you just have to find something else that works for you.
8. Personal development doesn't end, once you reach one goal, you set another. It's a process that will last your lifetime.
9. Personal development can be uncomfortable and it takes time, effort, and maybe even some blood, sweat, and tears.
10. Personal development isn't going to turn you into a different person, it isn't about drastic change, it's about incremental change that helps you fulfill your potential.
11. The key to positive personal development is consistency. You might not get it right the first time…and that's okay!
