Next Level Business Podcast

This week's episode is different than what we typically do. It's about hard loss. While we were traveling in Florida, I got a call that our 13-year old golden retriever, Brandy, wasn't doing so well. Long story short, I had to make the hardest decision I've ever made on a phone call, to put her down. This episode was recorded the first day we were back home since losing her. This episode is about grief and a reminder that we all have moments of hard loss. 

Guess what? Success and failure are really just patterns. Understanding what your success pattern and failure pattern is can be an incredibly useful tool going forward. I'm going to tell you exactly how to find your own patterns and use them in your life. 

Disclaimer: FAILURE is not a problem - there is only one true failure and that's giving up. 

This week's episode is my simple formula to making six figures this year. This is based on what I have ACTUALLY done myself and with my clients. You'll be surprised at how simple and effective it really is. If you're an entrepreneur ready to make six figures, this episode is for you. Grab something to write with and let's get to work. 

LAST challenge of our 5-minute challenge series in March is all about problems. Problems only become a problem based on your perception. The biggest problem we have as entrepreneurs is we think we shouldn't have problems. Great entrepreneurs are problem-solvers. What do you currently need to solve in your business? What problems do your target clients have that YOU can address through your work? I'll tell you what to do with this information in today's episode. 

Have you ever had a great idea following someone else's success with all the steps in front of you, but for some reason, you're not doing it? Have you ever known exactly what would bring your desired result and are still just unable to do it? This is called execution paralysis. Execution is one of the biggest things I help my clients through, it's not just about strategy. Let's talk about why this happens and how to finally execute. 

Coming at you with another 5-minute challenge. We've all heard of fight or flight, but I'm going to tell you the THIRD option in between the two that we don't realize. We actually spend the majority of our time in this middle ground between fight or flight, let's talk about it. 

I'm giving you another 5-minute challenge in today's episode. We're focusing on patterns. Patterns are simple shortcuts we have created to get a desired result. Patterns keep us safe and comfortable. We need to learn to disrupt a pattern because sometimes they're not serving us the way we want them to.  I explain exactly how to disrupt any pattern in this episode.

All I need in today's episode is 5 minutes of your time. I'm giving you 5-minute challenges all month long. Today's challenge is about success vs. goals and how to separate the two, and WHY you need to separate the two. Goals should be hard and success should be easy. 

This episode is about one of the most impactful things I've learned. It's from "The 5 Things We Cannot Change" by David Richo.  It's going to be quick and direct because everyone needs to know the 5 givens of life. At the end of the episode, I'll give you a trick to use with any of these rules. 

I'm a recovering niche-aholic. I spent four years blaming my niche for my lack of success. Sound familiar? This episode is for you. Inspired by a webinar we recently put together all about niche. F*ck your niche is about why it's time to stop blaming your niche. Unless you have the three things I go over in this episode, don't even think about blaming your niche.  Niches are required, but they may not be required in the way you think they are.
