Have you ever considered why some businesses appear regularly in the media and others don't, even though they're in the same industry and just as qualified to have an opinion? 

The answer is simple, they don't wait for media outlets to contact them; instead, they're submitting media releases and editorials regularly, and always provide quality content, so they become the go-to business in the industry. 

This information is covered in Chapter 25 of It's No Secret There's Money in Podiatry and Chapter 27 of It's No Secret There's Money in Small Business, both available from my website.

7 Marketing Myths

If you enjoy listening to this podcast, it will put a big smile on my face if you left a review on iTunes, or wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

Today I talk with Southern New Jersey Lawyer Steve Richardson from Richardson Law Offices about dealing with debt, personal finance and how people get themselves into financial strife, and what steps they should take when things financially go south. Bankruptcy is not the end of the world.  

Steve has also been a guest speaker on the topic of "The Accountant's Role in Bankruptcy Proceedings", and has represented individuals and businesses throughout Southern New Jersey for over 20 years.

We also discuss:

• When you have a boss you don't get to choose the type of work you do, but when you have your own business you do have the choice, so make it. 
• Niching his law office 
• Bankruptcy is nothing to fear - sometimes things are out of your control, and it's okay to permit yourself to give up
• Fear of failure
• Asset millionaires versus income millionaires 
• Financial stress advice 
• Steve hosts the Financial Freedom Podcast 
• FREE BOOK - First Three Steps to Financial Freedom

Monday Morning Tip

If you have financial stress, you need to know your numbers, meaning what does it cost you to live? Only once you know where all your money goes (every dollar), only then you can you make cuts.

Ep 152: Investing In Your Financial Future with Andy Wang

If you enjoy listening to this podcast, it will put a big smile on my face if you left a review on iTunes, or wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

Wilson Lawrence is a Performance, Personal Development and English Communications Coach focusing on Self and Time Management. He studied at the South West London College For Higher Business Studies and currently lives in Germany.

I first heard Wilson on the Operation Self Reset podcast series with Jacob Nawrocki, and since then we have become good friends, and I am so pleased to breathe life back into this podcast episode because the content is so good. 

Yes, this is a REBROADCAST of Episode #3. 

• Why watching television can influence your mood and emotions throughout the day.
• Start your day in silence: Most people wake up and check their social media accounts and immediately put their brains into reactive mode and become part of someone else’s agenda.
• Developing affirmations and writing them down. Do it the right way, and you will feel and create the emotions in your mind.
• Asking a focusing question (The One Thing) – What is the one thing that I can do right now, such by doing it, it will make everything else easier or unnecessary?
• The brain functions best first thing in the morning and after having recovery breaks during the day. This is why you must do the most important work first and not waste your mental energy checking emails. (Prefrontal Cortex)
• Distractions will occur if you don’t do the most important things first.
• When people say they’ve had a stressful day, what they’re saying is they’ve had a busy day. Busy does not mean productive, and quantity does not equal quality.
• Pareto Principle: The 80:20 Rule. If you delay important tasks (20%), distractions (80%) will prevent you from getting them down.
• To-Do Lists: Focus on the most important task first, then worry about the rest if they’re still necessary. Don’t do the most fun task first (distraction).
• When you add value, the value will come back to you, and to give value, you must first be more interested than interesting, and focus on quality over quantity.
• No such thing as weaknesses, they’re areas of opportunity, and when you combine this with your focusing question, it can be very powerful.
• Social Media winners and losers. When you analyse your own social media posts, what are you saying about yourself?
• Having an opinion is excellent, as long as you can back it up with your reasoning, or evidence.
• The Bandwagon Effect: When everyone joins a cause or movement because it’s become fashionable and popular to do so. People fear by not jumping onboard they may get left behind. This applies to how some people market their business.
• Show gratitude to those that have helped you succeed.
• The Morning Routine: It’s an investment, not a chore.

This episode with David M Frees is a REBROADCAST and it was chosen because the content is so friggin good. It is also the most downloaded episode on It's No Secret with Dr T.

If you missed it the first time you'll be glad I'm rebroadcasting and if you did hear this episode the first time you'll be happy as well. 

David M. Frees is a Trust, Estate and Wealth Preservation Lawyer from Phoenixville Pennsylvania. He is an expert when it comes to persuasion and communication, and on a personal note, Dave is one of the best communicators I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

I think you’ll go back and listen to this episode numerous times because there are so many takeaway points.

• The first and most powerful key to being an excellent communicator, great negotiator and person of influence, is to master the art of listening to the other person.
• You need to quiet the demons in your head and not be thinking about what you want to say next.
• When you meet someone, always be looking for something to compliment him or her on, but make it genuine. “Wow, that is a smashing tie”.
• It takes enormous practice to listen and not automatically respond or jump into the conversation.
• Everyone you meet is smarter than you at something, and thinking this way sets you up in a very positive mindset right from the start. The other person will sense your positive body language and attitude towards them.
• You can build trust by confessing something very early in the conversation. If you’re selling a product, you may point out a flaw in certain situations, or if it’s a personal conversation, you may make an admission that may be slightly odd or embarrassing. Just don’t do it in the first 30 seconds.
• Some people will say that using these techniques is just manipulation, and they are correct; however, all human communication is manipulative in some way, but you need to give up the idea that it’s a bad thing. It’s your INTENT for the outcome that matters. You can manipulate negatively or positively.
• Where is the best place to learn more about this subject? 
• The language we use, when communicating, can be very powerful and influential. Saying to a child, ‘don’t spill the milk’…puts that image in their head and increases the chance of them spilling the milk. But if you say, ‘keep the milk in the cup’, that’s the image they will see. We see words as images.
• The tonality of your voice, the speed of your voice and your body language are far more important than the words you use. This is why Barry White was so popular with his female audience.
• Learning to vary the speed and tone of your voice can be very useful in certain situations. If you want to hurry people up, or slow people down use your voice.
• It’s essential to go back and re-listen to mentors, previous podcasts and reread books because you’ll have a different mindset year to year and you’ll pick up new things each time.
• When you make a deal with yourself that you’re going to do something, no matter what, you need to stick to it, but don’t stay with it if it’s not working.
• Sometimes it is advisable to quit.
• Persuasion and influence are different. Persuasion is very hard to do because it relies upon you changing someone else’s mind, but over time and by building trust, it is possible; however, influence is where to want to be.
• Persuasion is part of a bigger goal, and that is to become an influencer.

After nearly 20 years in the corporate HR space, climbing to the C-suite, Nick Goblirsch was laid off just before Christmas, which SUCKS, but this sudden life-changing moment prompted him to work for himself.

• The price of leadership 

“Get good at doing things other people don’t want to do.”

• The gig economy
• Leadership is a Friggin lonely place, but everyone wants a leadership job because it pays more, gives you a lot of freedom and authority.
• Being an entrepreneur, you’re not alone
• Fulfilling your needs

"You can't think that you need approval from your spouse or family because they are always going to look at it through their lens. You were so good at what you did".
