If you don’t try something, how do you even know if you’re afraid? What are afraid of? Starting? Or the something? Perhaps it’s failure or being judged. Just get on with it and try! Whether it’s a podcast, a talk in front of an audience, dancing, or anything else that scares you, remember how short life is and make sure you don’t leave anything behind. No unfinished business or desires that you were afraid to tackle. Avoid regret and get over your fears. You might suck, and that’s just fine. Recently my son lost in hockey 50-4 in 4 games up in Toronto. He was mad, but mostly scared of the bigger, more skilled players he was up against. My advice to him…”Score once! That’s a win son!” He scored 3 of the 4 after that. He just stopped being afraid. Today we’ll discuss this and more on Radio Ignite Live!

We are entrepreneurs and we must think on our feet. Challenges come in at us in all directions, constantly, and without warning. But we navigate the waters better than most, because we are true entrepreneurs. If this sentence is unsettling, it is likely you are not an entrepreneur. Or, you are an entrepreneur in training. But fear, is not something we generally have. We just do it. Because at the end of the day, we want to write our own ticket, achieve the best success, fix something, build something, achieve great fortune in life and in our bank accounts. At least, that’s how I see it.

So you buy a plane ticket for $100. What a deal. But wait, then you have to pay for your seat, another $69. Then it’s $49 for a checked bag or $55 for a carry on. You can spend another $50 to board early and you can upgrade to a seat that is actually sized for an average human for another $50. Food cost $12. Drinks are free. Cocktails are still pretty cheap too. Did I mention you need to get to most airports 2 hours early these days just to get through security? What a mess. We’ll discuss today on Radio Ignite Live.

Sometimes, we have to just be who we are. I’m a bit of a techie, and I’m not afraid to admit it. I’ll geek out today on Radio Ignite Live and talk about my favorite gadgets and tech. I mean seriously, a self heating mug? You wouldn’t believe how much I love this thing. So does the wife. And Sonos…oh my. Music everywhere, voice controlled (sort of), and Alexa, you know the name. But there will be a few other surprises too! Be sure to tune in or catch the recording on just about any platform out there!

Tax season is over; time to work ON your business. Let’s start with customer service and support. How many times have you contacted support or customer service and the response is “Oh, well, that is not available here…” or “No, it must be something on your end…” or “That sounds great, but it’s not something we can help you with.” It’s infuriating. Zapier is one great example of a company that DOES NOT do this. They always reply with, “Hey Eric, let me make sure I understand your question. So what you are asking or trying to do is…” and after I reply I usually get something with this tone, “Hmmm, I’m not sure if we can but I’m definitely sure we can try. Let’s work together on this and see what we can come up with.” Refreshing right? But why is this not the norm? Why do we often feel as if the company we pay for service is doubting us and immediately determining what we are asking is not in fact valid or possible? Why do companies behave this way? Simple…management and owners allow it. In fact, they create it. The attitude of the owner is always found in the response of its support team. This needs to change, but more importantly, we, as service providers, must never allow it to happen in our organizations. We’ll discuss this in detail on today’s Radio Ignite Live.

You hear them when you call the airlines, or Apple, or just about any large company today. They’re getting better and we hate them less. Websites use them; I use them on all my sites. What the heck is this madness? What is a bot? What does it do? How can it help me? Are bots a good thing? I’ll answer all these questions and more in today’s Radio Ignite Live. Or maybe 74D2 my bot will, who knows. P.S. It’s not what you think it is. Bots aren’t taking over the world. They’re just extensions and automations of…well…us.

Website hosting may seem like it’s just a commodity but a great web host can make the difference between lost data, downtime, lost sales due to performance issues, and the ability to drive traffic to your site depends on all of these things. Maintenance, backup, and support are truly important and the difference in cost between a decent web host and a great web host is nominal. We’ll talk all about it on today’s Radio Ignite Live.

When you go to bed, do you feel like you have a clear picture of where you are with your tasks for the day, what remains to be done, and what you accomplished? Would your clients agree? Do you sleep well knowing you have a system in place that works and you literally have “helicopter vision” of your entire practice, business, or life? Can you see it all from above, clearly and confidently so when you wake up tomorrow you will hit the ground running with a plan for the day? Today on Radio Ignite Live we’ll discuss organization and what you need to do to get things done, keep track of what has been accomplished, what needs to be, and for which clients or family member. We’ll discuss how each day you spend a certain defined amount of time doing nothing but organizing tasks, lists, your office, your kitchen, your mind, and your life. Organization brings it all together, and it brings happier clients, better sleep, and a happier, richer life.
