A light day today and an important message for all hard workers!

Sometimes all it takes is a lost pen to totally derail your motivation, productivity and maybe your entire project.

Have you ever been scared to ask for help, especially from people you admire, who are further ahead or have the results you want?

KNOWING how to ask for help will give you confidence but it's also integral to building, scaling, and getting to that next level.

"You've got to do it by yourself, but you can't do it alone."

Tune in and let's look at the mindset and thinking behind HOW to ask for help and not look like an energy-sucking vampire.

WHAT I WILL COVER HERE:

-What a business model is and it maps the road for you to find your problems

-What it means to truly ask for help 

-How to PREPARE to ask for help [SUPER IMPORTANT - DO THIS FIRST]

-Why investing in yourself also reaps rewards for your bank account

When it comes to running Facebook or any digital ads it is all a test!

You've got to run it and cut the losers quickly to allow your budget to work more for you with the right audience.

Here is what I do with my ads and what I am looking to do when it comes to selling the courses I have made.

Have you ever wanted to be early in a market, capitalize on a new trend [before it's popular] or spot what will be NEXT?

From 2010 when I created my first online course [early adoption] to streaming online starting in 2015 [early adoption] I want to outline the PRO and CON to understanding the risk and reward of acting this way.

If Google tried to launch in 1983 alongside Apple's Lisa - it wouldn't have worked.

Apple wasn't ready for the iPod in 1990. The market is likely UNLIKELY to be receptive to Apple Glasses right now [this of course can change]

But a TRILLION dollar company does not mean that customers are ready for just whatever they make - it has to be MASS adopted.

Likewise, if you're only following trends because everyone else is doing it you are in a position of weakness because you're constantly falling into the overcrowded, oversaturated markets.

You can still grow this way but you need to get creative about the new trends, the new ways, and new tech that can help separate yourself.

Even if the tech can be created - the MARKET and AUDIENCE and CONSUMERS need to also be ready for it.

There is a sweet spot that you want to train your brain to find.

When it comes to your market, your course, what you sell, it could be as common as coffee or tea but there can be new horizons to find.

WHAT I WILL DISCUSS HERE...

-How I used the basics of email marketing and sales between 2008-2010 to sell millions of dollars of real estate easily and why most Real Estate agents EVEN TODAY have HUGE opportunities being late r in adoption

-How the first YouTube videos I made in 2010 took 6 YEARS to make an impact in my market and for me to see any return from it - this is why you want to play the LONG game 

-The [world] first mass-streaming in our market we did in 2015 was so early it's only in 2020 that every man and their dog are now doing it

-How you can position yourself to be early and get attention by knowing what to look for

-How to know if you're too late and need to find the new spot/position/horizon to open up into using the "Grandma" rule

-Why home 3D custom printers could be world-changing but why they aren't right now and how that related to your ideas

-Plus my takeaways for you to gain your own insights to be ahead of the curve [NOT that curve] I mean the mass adoption curve

NOTE TO FUTURE SELF IN 2058: Most of these VR/AR predictions will NOT age well. LOL

Want to win? Simple. Ask your FUTURE-SELF what you want to have happened and then reverse engineer that to start building.

Everything you and I are doing each day is building towards our older self. Society is obsessed with freezing age and keeping young.

But you are getting older and you're going to want to make sure your life is kick-ass all the way through. 

However, there is a cost to being able to win and succeed at the level you decide. 

It cannot happen by manifestation or thought alone. Nor skipping from one idea to the next.

If you ask me what the #1 most important trait for personal growth and winning is, it's investing in yourself.

What have you done today to help your future self tomorrow?

What will you do tomorrow to help you grow?

Let me share a story of how I "borrowed" $10,000 from one of my other businesses to start a new business without telling my wife. EEKKK.

Imagine that reaction if I bombed! 

Was the risk of utter failure worth it? What would I have to answer for if it didn't work out?!

I will break down the very specifics, thinking, and strategy behind creating success in this new venture from day 1.

I will also share my failures and learning from this along the way and what it means to help you as you build your ideas, courses, or processes!

Within this special #10 episode is probably one of my most IMPORTANT LESSONS: IT IS ALL A TEST.

Your philosophy of failure is far more important than your definition of success for you'll never get the latter without the former.

Enjoy this insight to what I specifically did to help build out one of my ideas and how it related to what you can do now.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN...

-How the Value Ladder [Episode 7] gave me the confidence to launch a new business within 2 weeks and make over $75,000 in 10 months

-Why FREE matters but you need to be strategic 

-How opt-in pages, sales, email follow-ups and automation can do for you!

-What I thought about the 15 new FB ads I setup today and what to know about marketing online

-The FOUNDATIONAL marketing method has been working for decades offline and online to help you build an email list and make sales

I really hope this episode inspires you, if so please leave a good review.

You don't wait for the perfect time - you make it. [My example inside]

You don't hope great outcomes - you create them. 

Every single day you have so much white space and black spots in your diary that if you're smart enough to use can be where you build your idea, write your book, create your business, edit your content, create ads, brainstorm and the list goes on.

How many times have you put something off only to find yourself never doing the work?

You and I do not get 25-hours in a day. Nor can we work every single hour of a day. Why would you want that anyway?

It's about lifestyle! Where you work and how you work have seriously changed over the years.

Now our job is to leverage time and resources so we can create more, grow income, and serve more people WITHOUT having to kill our souls in the process.

The main difference between producing consistent work over a period of time is more than just scheduling it in your diary [then missing it and feeling bad.]

Discipline and willpower are important but there's actually a stunning amount of free time in between day-to-day activities you can successfully use.

Let me break down how I use "white space" and "black spots" in my day to get astounding amounts of important work done.

Personally, I don't use a diary outside of client appointments, family activities, and important events as I've figured out my own system.

You may need to be very time conscious in the beginning and block every 15-minutes of your day others may simply need to do what I outline in this episode.

WHAT YOU CAN TAKEAWAY FROM THIS EPISODE...

-Ideas on when you can work on your business, side-hustle, idea creation, projects on the go

-How you have way more time than you think to learn, upskill, implement

-What I did today is living proof of how I run a lot of my business

-It is not about how much time you have free it is how you best use the little time you do have

Don't be fooled by vanity metrics. A customer of mine put us in his estate will leaving a 5-figure amount to be spent by his other half after he passes on. IMPACT OVER INCOME is the name of the game.

Does he engage on our social media? NO. Does he like, share, comment, NO. Does he love what we do? YES.

IT'S CRAZY...YOU NEVER KNOW WHO IS WATCHING AND WHAT OPPORTUNITIES YOU'RE CREATING FOR YOUR FUTURE.

The initial pain of setting everything up and the steep learning curve is SO worth it if you just stay the course.

Oh, and do it poorly, terribly, and horribly at the beginning because it may be your best work lol.

How you use the Organic traffic side of your business REALLY matters. 

It can be so disheartening and frustrating when you think that ONE post you put your heart and soul into get 0 comments, 0 likes, 0 shares, 0 up/down/reactions!

BUT if you understand how the Organic reach side of your business works for the LONG-TERM you will not really care as much.

A VERY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IS IF PEOPLE WOULD BE SO ANGRY THEY WOULD PETITION, KNOCK-DOWN YOUR DOOR AND BEG YOU TO REMAIN DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING - So how do we get there?

Service. Caring. Impact!

You need to then create sales and make profit to be able to keep serving and so later we will talk about Paid advertising and sales to help the scaling effort for you and I!

Here is how I mind map and create new customers from strangers to buying up to $25,000 programs.

First of all...You've GOT to be a giver not a taker in business.

Next, and this is what this episode is geared around, you have to know your customer's end result they want and retroactively build out a suite of products, courses or programs that provide 3 THINGS [TUNE IN TO FILL THE BLANKS]

1. R.......

2. A......

3. E......

Without these three things, you're dead in the water before you begin. 

Unfortunately, most people spend all their time creating content that doesn't serve people, doesn't help move people to where they want to go and waste a lot of time spending money on things that don't matter.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE...

-What a value ladder is and why you should create one FIRST before doing anything else

-How I like to serve my audiences

-The mindset you want around creating ideas and making cool content

-What your job actually is about and why you need to care

-What organic and paid traffic helps to do [more on that next episode]

What I did today to move me towards my goals.

Never in a million years if you had told me I would be painting my house that I would have believed that. But here I am. On a roof, painting it like a poor-man Sistine chapel.  There is a point to this and it has to do with DIY and course creation with skill development. YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO THINGS BUT NOT LIMIT YOUR POTENTIAL BASED ON PAST EXPERIENCE. Don't buy into the fantasy marketing that you only need this tool or that software and you'll make it to fame and fortune. It's a perpetuated lie that top performers can rightfully scoff at. Imagine telling Kelly Slater [World Champion Surfer] that he only needed to learn to surf just a few days per week and he'd be world champion. Or that you can outsource your song-making and become the next Eminem.  Absolutely not, the skills you LACK are your opportunity. The skills you HAVE have to be honed, refined, and sharpened.  I spent over 3,000 hours between 2010-2011 learning how to create online courses. Since then I have self-taught videoing, video editing, sound design, graphic design, advertising, marketing, sales, copy writing, negotiation, and SO much more. HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT... -Why your skills you don't have are your opportunity for success -How the skills you do have are not enough for the next level and what to do about it -What unfolds when you begin a brand new task, project, or idea -What basics across any discipline require your attention and ultimate mastery ======= BIO & HIGHLIGHTS OF VAUGHAN -Multi-award-winning and qualified coach -4-Time World Professional 10-Dance Representative  -Pioneered first online DanceSport 2011 -Founding investor in Startup with multi-million dollar valuation -Founded three six-figure businesses -81,000 online students and millions of views  -Seriously good at recovering from missed opportunities, failure, rejection with the ability to teach you how to do the same!
