Market YOU First!

 "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle."

This quote by James Keller is something I'd love you to interalize today!

Here on the Market YOU First Podcast - we encourage people to do precisely what the name implies.  While doing so, you don't have to focus on yourself alone.  Be sure to give credit and kudos when due!

Sometimes people need to know that the things they're doing make a difference.  Don't confuse that with recognition.  Think of it as an echo.  If you yelled into a well or valley and didn't hear an echo back - you wouldn't keep yelling to hear one.   

I was having a video conversation a few days ago with a marketer and let them know a training they'd done a while back was great.  They seemed surprised that I was aware of it - and the next day they started promoting it again.  How cool is that?

Did I lose anything from giving them this compliment?  NOPE!  I'd even argue that instead of taking away anything, it actually made BOTH of us feel good!

On a completely different angle, credit and kudos provided at the right time just might be the thing someone desparately needed to hear.  In a world where people rant and rave about what they don't like - be someone that raises people up and points out the things that are awesome!

Have a DYNAMITE 🧨 day!

A couple of months ago - some issues I was experiencing caused me to do a 180 with my diet and exercise routine.  A better way to explain it would be - I realized if I didn't start on my way to being healthy, I might not be around.

We've all heard the saying, "Garbage In, Garbage Out," for our diets.  But we may not have heard the saying: "If You're Not Moving, You're Dying," for our bodies.  

When you're lethargic and sedimentary - your body loses.  This is just a small list of the things that can occur when you choose to stop moving:

• Inflammation.
• Increased chances of high cholesterol and/or blood pressure, diabetes, certain cancers, poor blood circulation, strokes, and heart attacks. 
• Lower metabolism.
• You'll experience fewer calories burnt.  Couple this with a poor diet, and weight gain - even obesity - is likely to follow.
• Loss of endurance and strength.
• Weak Bones.
• Compromised immune system.
• And much more!

Try to implement a few or all of these simple steps:

• Try to stand and stretch at least once every hour.
• Work exercise into your daily routine.
• Limit the amount of sitting you do.
• Don't take the easy way out.  Take stairs as opposed to elevators.  Park further away as opposed to looking for the closest spot.  
• Pay attention to what you're putting into your body.  Eat for fuel - not fun.

The idea of retiring sounds fun to someone who dislikes their job.  But, when you think about how many people take a turn for the worst after retiring - it doesn't seem as appealing.  Instead - find something you love to do and keep moving!

Have you ever heard someone say - "We don't have enough money to have kids.", "It's not the right time to buy a house.",  or "I'll go back to school next year."?

Spoiler Alert - for an overwhelming percentage of people, waiting for the 'right' time is code, for it will never happen.

I preach about working within a 'New YOU Day' rather than the concept of resolutions on New Year's Day.  Why?  First - it puts YOU in front.  Second - it allows for an INSTANT reset if you foul up. 

Another Spoiler Alert - you're gonna foul up!

Do yourself a favor and realize something right this moment.  Someday isn't a day of the week.  If you want to change your life, you must act RIGHT NOW!  NOT tomorrow, Monday, after the holidays, or whatever other roadblock you throw in front of your goals.  RIGHT NOW is the only option!

Last Spoiler Alert - STOP thinking you're going to get a tomorrow!  We're not promised the next second, let alone the next day.  Why would you risk putting off something you want or need to start? 

I know you have something you've wanted to start!  START IT!  Break free of whatever is holding you back - and DO IT!  You got this!

Have a DYNAMITE 🧨 day!

Several years ago - PetaPixel had an article based on a picture of a crowd that went viral.  The reason it went viral was almost everyone in the shot had mobile phones in their hands except one older lady.  She seemed perfectly content simply enjoying the moment and living in the now - rather than attempting to digitally capture the moment.   I've included a link to the post in the Episode Description if you'd like to see it.

PetaPixel | Woman Spotted Without Phone Camera Out, Is Now an Internet Sensation

Every couple of years - we visit Hocking Hills State Park.  As the name implies - it's a very hilly area of Ohio and cell coverage can be spotty at best.  If you're looking to get off the grid and relax for a few days - it's an ideal place to stay because it forces you to live in the now without all the gadgets.

I bring all this up because something out of the ordinary happened to me yesterday.  I arrived at the gym and realized I didn't have my watch.  This isn't important because of time (I DO know how to read a clock) - but because I wasn't going to be able to track my workout.  After all - if you don't track it, it didn't happen.  Right?  In case you didn't catch it - I'm absolutely being sarcastic.  However,  I DID entertain the idea of turning around and getting it.  Then I come to my senses and realized I'm working on ME - not a log of workouts.  Sure - my steps and circles wouldn't be closed for the day, but I'd still have the satisfaction of knowing I'd put in the work.

I scratch my head when I see people doing something nice and documenting it.  Primarily because A LOT of them are staged, but mainly because it takes away from why you're doing it in the first place.  And although recording and posting workouts aren't the same - they both straddle the "LOOK AT ME!" line.

Keeping the "Market YOU First" concept in mind - don't be afraid to live in the now and do things that only you know about.  Believe me - there's NO lack of information being logged in out there.  If you miss a moment on the grid - the world WILL continue to spin!

John D. Rockefeller said, "I would rather earn 1% off 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts."

In a world of Unemployment Benefits, Stimulus Checks, and Loan Paybacks - wouldn't you prefer to create your OWN wealth? You CAN do it!

Something you know and/or are passionate about can be made into a product. And you can get affiliates to market it FOR you!

In Network Marketing - everyone you share your product or service with that goes out and does the same - makes you money.

In insurance and real estate - when you add people to your team, you benefit from every deal they write.

And the examples go on and on and on!

Don't listen to the news and naysayers! We live in a country of HUGE opportunity! You just gotta hustle to make it happen!

Backbone beats Wishbone 8 days a week!

At this time of year - everyone's putting up pictures of their children's first day of school or college.  In addition - pics from the past are popping up across social media platforms.

You look at these pics and ask yourself, "Where does the time go?!?"

Without going into a bunch of details (Much of which you'd be completely uninterested in) - I've been CRAZY busy!   In this rush of craziness - I noticed it had been over a month since I'd done a new podcast.

Again, I ask myself, "Where does the time go?!?"

One thing that has been holding my time is getting used to a new health routine.  Not only am I not allowed to have my beloved dark friend - the coffee bean, but I'm also on a very restrictive diet.  And as with most health routines - I'm also introducing more physical conditioning into the mix. 

Creating new routines, finding the time to do them, and most importantly, doing them can be quite a task!  Whether it's a new health routine or getting out regular podcast episodes - you have to make the time and follow through!

Benjamin Franklin is one of my favorite people to quote.  He said,

“If You Fail to Plan, You Are Planning to Fail”
 
Here's the deal.   Time is going to pass regardless of whether you have a plan or not.  Wouldn't you prefer to be on the winning side of time?  I know I do!

Have you ever heard the following sayings?

"Birds Of A Feather Flock Together."

"You Can't Soar Like An Eagle When You Surround Yourself With Turkeys."

"If You're The Smartest Person In The Room - You Need To Find A Different Room!"

 What "Birds Of A Feather" means is that usually those with the same characteristics or attributes are usually found in the same groups.

I've recently observed a couple of groups containing people I know providing over-the-top support and kudos to the leaders and heads of those groups.    

Is your group or mastermind full of pleasers and "yes-men" or people that will hold you accountable and help you grow?

If you answered yes to the first portion of that question - you're probably among turkeys and need to find a new room.  If you're among the second portion - then you're probably an eagle looking to sharpen its talons and get after it!

Life is simply too short to surround yourself with those unable to help you grow.  

Stretch your wings and SOAR!!!

The very first episode of Market YOU First was entitled,  "Are You A Brandnomer?"

To refresh your memory - a Brandnomer is where a brand name becomes synonymous with a product type.  Examples of this would be Uber - which is actually just a car service, Jell-O - which is gelatin, and Q-Tips - which are cotton swabs.  But since they've become Brandnomers - you'll rarely hear people call them that.  Selling your authentic self and making that your product/service above all else will keep you in business no matter what it is you're attaching it to.

But there's more to branding than just being synonymous with a product type.   It also includes (But, isn't limited to...) colors, logo, jingles, fonts, and slogans.  In essence - the things that people immediately recognize as your brand.

I just mentioned fonts.  Have you ever seen words arranged the same way as a logo you're familiar with or with the same fonts?  It immediately gets your brain working towards where you know it from.  And THAT'S successful branding!

Branding is a lot like operating an old water pump.  You have to pump really hard to get it started - but if you keep pumping, the water flows much easier.  With branding, if you put in the work to make your brand recognized - you can stay top of mind by just staying in front of people.  One of the differences between pumping water and gaining brand recognition is as follows.  When you stop pumping water, the water stops flowing - but when you gain true brand recognition, it will stick in people's minds long after the product or service isn't advertised or goes away.  That's why you tend to remember jingles and commercials from when you were a kid.  Someone did a GREAT job in branding!

On our podcast today, I have a call to action for most of you listening - including yours truly!

Are you putting the YOU in your hustle?

REALLY step back and think about this one for a bit.  I'm not hinting that you or I aren't working hard.  What I'm referring to is, who benefits the most from your hustle?  Is it you?  Or are you busting your butt to build someone else's dream?  If it's the first option - BRAVO!  If it's the second - we have A LOT of work to do!

Regardless of what you have to do to free up time and work on your own hustle - DO IT!   

Does that mean you drop the Softball, Bowling, or Fantasy Sports Leagues?  Do you stop binge-watching Netflix?  Do you give up partying or playing poker on the weekends?  Or do you quit sleeping in?  It depends.  Do you want to win?  Or do you want to watch your boss or competition keep winning?

There's an awesome African Proverb that's extremely fitting for this podcast.

 “Every morning in Africa, an antelope wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion, or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest antelope, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re the lion or an antelope – when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

Don't wait until you're backed into a corner to take action.  Make your actions benefit YOU!

If you read the book, "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson - you'll know that if you string together more slight disciplines over slight errors in judgment - you'll be on your way to success!  And compounded by time - those disciplines will make all the difference in the world!  But you have to start making them!

And guess what?  You can do it!

Have a DYNAMITE 🧨 day!

Usually, I write the Episode Description first, and then I do a recording of myself reading it.  But for this episode - I took action on my episode idea and recorded it without a description to read from. 

So today, I'll just let you know the episode and message is all about taking action.
