    According to a survey by the

    International Coach Federation, 70% of entrepreneurs who engage in personal
    development activities reported an improvement in their business performance.
    This includes increased revenue, customer satisfaction, and employee retention.
    All of us are born with heroic hearts and dreams of achieving greatness. I
    enjoy discussing topics such as creating, inventing, and overcoming obstacles,
    as well as the internal and external resources required to achieve success.
    Additionally, I like to discuss the practical paradigms of product development,
    navigating cash flow issues, and building a skilled team to achieve goals. My
    objective is to inspire and motivate people, as often we do not require
    information, but rather the inspiration to take action. David Ask is a
    prominent figure in the world of entrepreneurship and product development. He
    is the driving force behind StatGuardPlus.com, a product that can be found in
    over 3,000 retail giants such as The Home Depot and Lowe's. He also leads two

    David is passionate about personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and finding
    one's unique purpose. He is the lead coach for Dr. Andy Garrett's True North

  • Bringing a Global Approach to Digital Marketing and Small Business with: Aziz Musa,

  • Be Empowered to Transform the World with: Angela Burgess

    As an American

    public I want to a pose an intriguing question for you to consider. How much do
    you really know about the function of Non-profits and the value they add to
    society?  The first comprehensive
    poll published by the Associated Press and The Indiana University Lilly
    Family Foundation philanthropy to measure public attitudes on
    foundations and nonprofits offers signs that charitable organizations are more
    trusted than other institutions, such as businesses, governments, and the news
    media. But it shows many warning signs for nonprofits, given how little
    Americans know about charities and the pessimism they have about the ability of
    charities to make a positive difference in the world.

    Two especially disturbing findings: 48% think that nonprofits are

    on the wrong track, and only a third believe charities contribute a lot to
    society.

    Perhaps most surprising is that only 5% of Americans think they or

    someone in their immediate family has been helped by a nonprofit, even though one in 11 work
    for a charitable organization and a big share of people are served by colleges,
    hospitals, cultural organizations, or religious congregations or participate in
    advocacy drives by environmental, civil rights, and other nonprofits.

     

    Meanwhile, the Washington Post reports

    Over the past 15 years, nonprofit
    employment has grown 33 percent, dwarfing the 9 percent job growth enjoyed by
    the for-profit private sector over that time. Nonprofits have passed local
    government to become the second-largest source of employment in the country,
    behind the for-profit sector.

    The top five states for nonprofit employment are all in the

    Northeast, with Vermont leading a New England sweep of the podium, along with
    Maine and Massachusetts. Pennsylvania and Rhode Island round out the top five.
    (D.C., that inveterate outlier, would beat out every state for first place —
    but it may not be fair to compare a dense urban core that is also the nation’s
    capital with the sprawl of your average American state.)

    Angela Burgess empowers others to transform the

    world. She is the bestselling author of “Are You on the Right Bus? Navigating
    Change on the Road to Success” and the President and CEO of Broad Oaks
    Consulting. There she serves as a trusted advisor to nonprofit organizations on
    strategic planning, revenue generation, and investment development. She
    volunteers with foster children, participates in a prison ministry, and is on
    the International Committee of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Angela is
    happily married and when she’s not trying to make the world a better place, she
    enjoys working out, cooking (and eating), and travel. She joined me this
    week to tell me more.

  • Igniting Transformation Through Mindset Mastery with: Cameron Race

    Our choices have a significant impact on

    our ability to contribute meaningfully to the notion of progress. They
    determine our favor and fortune. However, the good thing about life is that we
    all have the power to direct the course of our life's story. It is an
    individual undertaking that requires immediate and continuous attention. But if
    you persevere and determine the answers of favor, you'll have a chance to live
    a prosperous life, even if your story includes some sort of redemption and
    stumbles along the way.

     

    Cameron Race, a personal development

    coach, is igniting transformation through mindset mastery and relentless
    action. Formerly stuck in the cycle of delayed starts and broken self-promises,
    Cameron found that the key to unlocking potential lies in mindset
    recalibration. From fitness and nutrition to conquering vices, he has walked
    the path of change. Now, he's here to share his story and be the catalyst for
    others to do the same. It's not about waiting for the 'perfect' time; it's
    about forging your own path today. Shatter self-limiting beliefs, embrace
    discomfort, and sculpt the best version of yourself, then share with others. He
    joined me this week to tell me more. You can find him on Instagram at

  • Surfing Towards Success with: Jeremy Ryan

    A diversified set of talents, experiences, and expertise can

    lead to business diversification and a broader audience reach. Your passion and
    purpose often determine the direction your life takes, and if you believe in
    this notion, then sustained success is within reach. Meet Jeremy Ryan, a former
    professional surfer who turned entrepreneur. He was born in Venice, California,
    and moved to Ventura when he was ten years old. It was in Ventura County,
    located close to the beach and some of the best waves in California, where he
    began to surf. At nineteen, he won a national surf title, which initiated his
    professional surfing career. He had the opportunity to travel all over the
    world, surfing in some of the most beautiful locations and competing in the
    World Surf League.

     

    As he grew older, he realized that he couldn't be a

    professional surfer indefinitely and needed a plan B. However, working a
    traditional 9-5 job didn't appeal to him. He was searching for a profession
    that would give him an outlet for his creativity. So, he went back to school
    and studied web and graphic design with the goal of starting his own design
    agency. After starting his design business, he also created a clothing company,
    Ruett, with a close friend. Both professions have provided an avenue for his creativity
    while giving him the flexibility to continue surfing and competing. However,
    his true passion has always been surfing. Spending time in the water is a form
    of meditation for him, which provides immense joy and solace in his life.

     

    He wanted to provide that same experience to others, so he

    started teaching surf lessons in 2019. His surf school, SPF Surf, has taken
    off, with students as young as five years old and professional surfers
    competing on the world or local stage. He has created a fulfilling life for
    himself, where he is busy with his design business, Subtide, his clothing line,
    Ruett, and his surf school, SPF Surf. All three businesses tap into different
    parts of who he is and have given him the flexibility to work on his own hours
    and be his own boss. This week, he joined me to tell me more. For more

  • Empowering Entrepreneurs to Build Revenue and Live Prosperous Lives with: Leigh Woolard

    Entrepreneurs have a strong desire to

    create an influential moment of difference and establish their vision for a
    successful business. However, they often sacrifice their happiness to work long
    hours. It's important to ask yourself how you can be more efficiently
    productive instead of working yourself to burnout. Studies show that 75% of
    entrepreneurs experience burnout, with the average age being 40 years old.
    Depression is also a common issue among entrepreneurs, often caused by stress
    or burnout, according to Gallup.

     

    Leigh Woolard is a life and business

    coach who has been helping entrepreneurs and business owners transform their
    businesses online since 2006. Overcoming bone cancer has taught him the power
    of thoughts in creating a better life. He has a framework for knowing what he
    wants and loves to guide others in creating a compelling vision for their
    businesses and lives.

  • Your Health Should Be Your Top Priority with: Elliot Hasoon

    Let's be honest with each other: the

    most practical way to preserve your health is by valuing the positive impact it
    has on your overall life. Unfortunately, globally, one in four women and one in
    three men do not get enough physical activity to maintain an active lifestyle,
    according to the World Health Organization. Additionally, a Centers for Disease
    Control and Prevention study found that only 28% of Americans are meeting
    physical activity guidelines, and that the amount of exercise varies widely by
    location.

     

    Elliot Hasoon is a body transformation

    coach who was once an overweight teenager. He was bullied in the PE changing
    rooms and decided to make a change. After researching online, he worked hard
    over the summer to transform his body and returned to school as a new person.
    This experience changed his life and he has been passionate about health and
    fitness ever since. Elliot is now a sought-after personal trainer, who runs an
    online health and fitness coaching business. His goal is to help people achieve
    their best shape and sustain their results. He uses a holistic approach,
    integrating mindset tactics, habit-building, and personal development
    practices, and focuses on the mental health of his clients. If you want to know

  • Helping Small Businesses Find Money After Economic and Natural Disasters with Chase Henderson

    According to a report by the Conference Board and the PR

    Newswire, 61% of US companies have increased their philanthropic giving for
    natural disasters in recent years and expect this trend to continue. However,
    despite increased spending, less than half of these companies prepare for
    natural disasters by conducting planning exercises or routinely evaluating the
    impact of their efforts. Additionally, only 28% of companies collaborate with
    other peer companies in their natural disaster efforts.

     

    The report also indicates that employees have the broadest

    influence in shaping corporate disaster response efforts, surpassing even the
    CEO and C-Suite, influencing the response at 93% of firms. Companies predict
    that employees will exert an even more significant influence in the years
    ahead.

     

    Chase (Adler) Pisaris Henderson is an entrepreneur who helps

    small and medium-sized businesses find funding in times of economic and natural
    disasters. He has equipped businesses with more than $10 million worth of funds
    to assist in their recoveries.

     

    Before becoming an entrepreneur, Henderson worked as a

    personal trainer, online fitness coach, and fitness influencer, and he has a
    background in Exercise Science from Florida State University. The devastating
    impact of Hurricane Ian on Southwest Florida led him to co-found NURO is, the
    Economic Recovery Center, and the BluWater Group with his father. Their vision
    was to support local businesses in the aftermath of the hurricane and other
    natural and economic disasters.

     

    Henderson also hosts "The Young Healthy and

    Wealthy" podcast, where he connects with remarkable individuals and shares
    valuable insights with a broader audience. He joined me this week to tell me
    more.
