Inspiring Innovation is celebrating its 100th episode!!!
I cannot thank you enough for the support and the love you've shown me and the show throughout the last two years.
I think the best way to celebrate two years of this podcast, is by celebrating YOU, the audience. After all - without you this podcast would not exist. Without you I'm just a guy talking to some friends on Skype.
As I'm sure you've noticed, every guest I ever had on the show talked about the power of masterminds. So it's no surprise that I've been getting more and more emails recently asking about masterminds:
Getting all these questions, and the pending Inspiring Innovation anniversary, gave my an idea.
As you may recall, on the first anniversary of the show, coach David Taylor Klaus held a live coaching session on the show for two wonderful people - Rachel, and Patrick.
Today, we're surprising Rachel with a special follow-up call. We are going to put her on the hot seat of a very real mastermind!
This is your chance to listen to a real-life mastermind, and get a better idea of how it works, how it feels, and what it can do for you.
Many people ask me: "How advanced do I need to be in my entrepreneurial journey before I can join or form a mastermind?" I always answer:
The best time to join a mastermind - is yesterday, and the second best time – is right now.
Many of you listening today are in the same place like Rachel - still struggling with finding "the right path" and deciding on your business model.
If you are one of those people, you will see for yourself just how powerful a mastermind can be. You'll hear how we helped Rachel get kick some fears aside, and turn clutter into newfound focus on the most effective next step she needs to take.
If you're in a more advanced place than Rachel is, just imagine the amazing input and advice you could get from participating in a call like this one on a consistent basis.
Imagine how much easier things would be if you could get all the answers and support you need, when you need it, to handle any challenge on your path to success.
So now, let me introduce my partners in today's mastermind:
Jon Nastor is a Canadian entrepreneur. Co-founder of VelocityPage and the host of blockbuster podcast show, Hack The Entrepreneur.
Nastor has built multiple software-as-a-service businesses that allowed him to create the freedom lifestyle he craved for. Now Jonny's focus is helping others achieve their own success as entrepreneurs.
You can learn more about Jonny on episode #60 of the show
Online business prodigy from Austria. Jakob is a sought-after branding & sales optimization expert who's been involved in highly prolific projects.
You can get his full story in episode 75 of the podcast
Founder of WomanEnriched, Amy is helping mom-preneurs break free of debt, take control of their finances, and bring wealth into their lives and their family's lives.
I'm humbled to say that she was my podcasting student a few months ago, and am thrilled by the change she's making in this world and in the lives of her community and audience.
Click play to listen to the unedited version of the surprise mastermind call that Amy, Jakob, Jonny and I had with Rachel.
The beauty of masterminds is that every meeting is different. Sometimes it's high-level strategy. Sometimes it's incredibly detailed marketing and sales tactics. Sometimes it's about clarity, and other times about product pricing.
But it's always the best place to get the answers you need and ongoing support - no matter where you are in your journey.
After several people asked me for help with finding a mastermind to join, I decided to put an Inspiring Innovation mastermind together.
We will meet on a video call once a month, and help everyone in the group turn their dream business into reality. I am only making 7 spots available.
If you're serious about succeeding with your business this year, and want to take the biggest step forward possible, then you should fill in the form at iipodcast.com/mastermind and I will be in touch.
I'm taking the page down next week, so you have 7 days to take action.

That's all for this episode, folks :) Happy 100th episode, Inspiring Innovation family!
I'm so excited we got this far, and can't wait for another year of inspiring and actionable business and life advice.
On our next episode, Christal Earle and I will discuss how the stories we tell ourselves shape our destiny, and how we can change our lives by changing our story.
Be amazing,
Meron
In this episode you will learn how to use Amazon for much more than "just selling books"!
Amazon. The shop of everything, including 6.5 million Kindle books. During the lifetime of the Inspiring Innovation show, we covered Kindle publishing more than once from the passive income angle.
What we have never done, until today, is take a look at the mind blowing power that Amazon lends you as a FREE tool to build your list, authority and reach in your niche.
People are now building their email lists by the hundreds, thousands and tens of thousands using the strategies you'll learn in this episode.
From building a list to building trust and respect, there's a lot to be said about the power of book and how they can help any entrepreneur grow. Which is why I've asked the wonderful John TIghe, author of Crush It With Kindle, to join us today.

Forget everything you've learned about making passive income online. Forget about guest posting, link building, and social media. Let's go back to the basics. To the core of what being an entrepreneur means: becoming a successful business owner.
Click play now.
"Personal branding" is the biggest hype right now. Many are obsessed with turning themselves into "the product" that people buy. This is no little due to many gurus giving advice like:
"There is no one like you in the world. That's why your unique selling proposition should be YOU! Then, no one can copy it!"
This advice is hard to follow and extremely time-consuming. But more than that, by definition – it's not scalable!
Think about it. Say you go ahead, and build a successful personal brand. Well done! Your coaching, your books, your courses, your DVDs, and your membership sites are selling well. That's amazing!
But… hold on one second…
The entire sales and marking process is based on people buying "you"! Congratulations, you've just cemented yourself into your own business. Is that a bad thing? Only if you ever want to enjoy the money you're making – without the business crashing while you're away!
This is why in today's episode, my guest and I go back to "business 101":
This is exactly, to the dot, how Chad Mureta built his app empire. And it's also how today's guest, Ryan Moran, built in 18 months a business that's making over $250,000 a month.
I also seen Ryan mentor a good friend of mine recently. That friend went on to building his business from zero to 5-figure monthly income – in just a couple of months!
No matter where you are in your entrepreneurial journey, you'll want to scroll to the top of this post, and click play right now! Don't miss the information on today's episode!
BTW, if you enjoyed this episode, please leave Ryan a comment below, or Tweet him (@RyanMoran) to let him know :)

Are you ready to finally build the relationships that will make your success a reality?
I used to hate getting into rooms full of people I didn't know.
I used to think I'm pretty good with people… but when you'd put me in a room full of strangers… all that confidence evaporated.
Have you ever felt the same?
Every entrepreneur worth his salt attributes a large portion of their success to the people around them. In fact, they met most of those people first at a party, or some conference or meetup.
When I think about it, I met 95% of the core of my professional network in 3 events!
Everyone I interviewed on the show, I reached through this core network. Every person on my masterminds, I met through this core network. Every joint-venture I was involved in, came from this core network.
3 events. That's all it took.
Well, 3 events, and working the room to actually make those events count!
Two months ago John Corcoran shared with us the 10 Steps To Becoming A Business Networking Superhero. After than interview, John introduced me to Susan Roane.
John referred to Susan's book, 'How To Work A Room', as "the bible of networking". And today, she will show you how you can put your best foot forward next time you enter any room.

In this episode you will discover how to plan, set up, and present a money-making webinar… with ease!
On our previous episode, Amy Porterfield and I discussed the power of webinars. We talked about using Facebook ads combined with webinars to turn any business into a money-making machine.
Even in 2015, webinars are still among the best ways to drive online sales and create a sustainable income. This is true whether you're an entrepreneur, freelancer, or even a brick and mortar business owner.
But how do you create a webinar that sells, without being overly salesey? How much of your content should you be sharing? How should you structure the webinar? What tools and systems should you use to set it up? All great questions!
That's why I asked the world-leading webinars expert, Steven Essa, to join us today!
In the last 7 years Steven has helped hundreds of people make tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars through webinars.
If you're interested in driving more customers and sales to your business, whether it's an online or not – this episode is for you.
