In this episode, I share the struggle of not jumping to rescue anyone today. I must stay in my lane, keep my head down, focus on my recovery and don’t venture outside of my hula-hoop. Historically, I feel the need to rescue and set myself up in codependent relationships. That stops today. I must change my dance move.

In this episode, I share about acquiring, converting and retaining clients. The focus needs to be for us right now the retention piece of this formula.

In this episode, I share about my research into Big T’s and little t’s. The path to discovery into not just my Big T’s but also labeling my little T’s as well helps so much. Once I see what happened, then I can put a name on those feelings and decide not to go back there the next time the scene starts to play out again. I can try to work on healing that wounded inner child.

In this episode, I share my thoughts following a recent Gary Vee podcast. Gary this morning shared about how I need to change my thinking. We need to all think of our businesses like a media company instead of trying to sell people stuff or trying to creat advertisement videos or sales pieces. He said to focus on becoming like 20/20, Inside Edition, Fox News or CNN, instead of like an infomercial. That really resonated with me and is something that I need to focus on more. Also, sharing all aspects of Matt Warren in my blogs and blog podcasts instead of just “Matt the gardener”, “Matt the guy in recovery”, or just the Business Development guy for XYZ com. What makes me unique and special is ALL areas of my life. Matt is all of these areas.

In this episode, I share what “Bottom Lines” are and give a few examples of ones that I have in place. “No obvious sugars”, “no social media stalking”, “no intriguing”...just to name a few. Staying away from these types of self set bottom line behaviors allow you to focus on top line behaviors.
