1. They don’t act their income. People say money doesn’t buy happiness yet they spend to feel good. Broke people have cars and the latest iPhones. Because of this need to appear rich, they remain broke.

2. They don't increase their income. The only reason poor people don’t get paid more because the value they provide is limited. Anybody can flip burgers but not everybody can think like a CEO. They don’t focus on improving their skills and value.

3. They have a victim mindset. When I write about money, I get many hate comments. Most of them say “You live in Norway” “You had it better”. But with this digital age, your country is not an excuse. The difference between poor and rich people is the later doesn’t make excuses.

4. They fixate on one solution. People think their promotion or a new business idea will make them rich. Not true. You also need to save and invest. Most people are trying to solve the money puzzle with one piece alone.

5. They have broke friends. When your friends always want you to spend money, it's hard to resist. Because Nobody wants to be called “cheap”. But this peer-pressure makes people waste their hard-earned money. They don’t understand that these friends won’t pay their future bills.

6. They don’t spend on improving. People hesitate when it comes to buying books, courses and coaches. But it’s the worst way to save. Good mentors can help you skip failures and earn more. I have spent thousands on coaches. That’s why I run a six-figure business at age 25.

7. They don't invest young, compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world.

In this episode, I share with you how successful people manage their time!

Go to https://www.erafael.com/ if you want my help, coaching or mentorship :) 

1.Plan One Day Ahead – If you’re not intentional about what you’re doing tomorrow, someone else’s intention or agenda will overtake yours.

2. Fix the Root Cause – Constantly putting out fires? Find out what’s causing them and solve that problem instead.

3. Hourglass Method – Your input determines your output, know the result you want and pour your time into the activity that creates them.

4. Circle of Focus – If you focus on 1 thing with your agenda you’ll make way more progress than by trying to do 37 different things.

5. Be a Leader – There’s a limit to how much a single human can do, but with the right squad supporting us we can make a huge impact.

In this episode, I share with how overstimulation is ruining your life and how you can correct it!

Go to https://www.erafael.com/ if you want my help, coaching or mentorship :) 

1. Chasing Happiness — “When I make this amount of money”, “When I am in a relationship”, then I’ll be happy. Happiness can’t exist in the future but present. If you aren’t happy now, you don’t be happy then.

2. Kill Negative Beliefs — Thinking doesn’t make it true. People thought the earth was far, didn’t make it true. When you think you can’t make money online or get healthy, don’t accept it as truth.

3. Modern News — Read about death, rape, and war. And see how hopeful they make you about your future. The media is always biased towards the negative because the positive doesn’t sell. Don’t fall into their trap.

4. Pleasure Eating — Do you eat for nutrition or pleasure? If it’s the latter, you will always end up overeating junk. Change your perspective on food. It’s about fuel not taste.

5. Garbage Excuses — “I can’t make it because of my parents, my past, or the economy”. You can make it. It’s that your mind doesn’t want you to give up comfort. Override your mind.

6. People Pleasing — Say ‘NO’ to the texts or favours from people you don’t like. Otherwise, you will waste your life for people who don’t care.

7. Quick Results — If you take action and wait for results, they won’t come. Results come to keep taking action. Waiting for results only stops you from taking action.

In this episode, I share with you how you can have more confidence.

Go to https://www.erafael.com/ if you want my help, coaching or mentorship :) 

1. Be willing to make a fool of yourself — then you can take real action.

2. Do what is true to you — don’t make decisions based on getting people’s approval, get your own approval.

3. Have boundaries — If you don’t like someone’s company then don’t spend time with them.

4. Manage your body language — look people in the eye, straighten your posture, be certain in what you say.

5. Develop self-trust with your self-talk — “I can do this”, “I am capable”, “I will try my best”.

6. Don’t promise and not deliver — only promise, to others and yourself what you are willing to act on.

7. Do the right thing — self-confidence is easy when you are honourable.

8. Practice a lot — being bold is a skill, don’t expect to get better without practicing.

In this episode, I share how much money a podcast can make with 300,000 downloads.

Go to https://www.erafael.com/ if you want my help, coaching or mentorship :) 

How much money does a podcast with over 300,000 downloads make? Now actually closer to 400,000 downloads!

But I also want to share the greatest lessons I learned along the way of growing a podcast and hopefully they can be helpful to you on your journey!

For context: I’m in the self-improvement and entrepreneurship niche, so that’s how my podcast is positioned.

The three main stages I’ll be covering:

1. Optimizing Your Podcast

2. Growing an Audience

3. Monetizing With Offers

STAGE 1: PODCAST SEO AND RANKING YOUR PODCAST

I assume you have a business or niche you can talk about. But among 1.5 Million Podcasts, how will people find yours?

Podcast Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is one of the answers.

When a person searches for a topic, a search engine will decide whether your podcast shows up or not.

Different podcast platforms (Spotify, Apple) have their own search engines. They are like Google but much simpler. They track two things; Keywords and Reviews.

To optimize your podcast for keywords, set-up these three keys:

Podcast Name: The name of your Podcast should be specific. Something like “Rafael’s Talk Show” is too generic. Plus, it’s better to add a popular keyword from your industry. For example, “Marketing With Rafael” is more specific and it uses a trending keyword. Be creative. Don’t stress too much on this. You can always change the name later on.

Episode Titles: People will rarely find you through your name. Most people search for a specific question when they look for podcasts. You have to write a title that answers their question. Example: “Guided Meditation For Boosting Your Confidence”. It’s a good title for someone who was asking “How to become confident?”. Like the name, be sure to add trending keywords from your topic into the episode title.

Description: When someone finds your episode, they will read your description. Before pressing play, they will see if your episode covers what they want to hear. I follow the same rules as Youtube for a description. A short summary that tells people and the search engine what the episode will be about.

STAGE 2: GROWING AN AUDIENCE

So you hear all these crazy stats about total downloads and might start wondering "how'd you get those numbers, Rafa?"

The answer is collaborations and interviews. You need to get into podcasts of people who already have the listeners you want. And it’s actually not that difficult.

Like you, everybody has to create content. Bringing in a good guest eases that burden.

But, you have to show your credibility in the industry. If you are a marketing agency, then showcase clients served or years in business.

Plus, start posting episodes. Even if they get zero-listens. The more you post, the more credible and committed you will appear.

When looking for podcasts to get featured on, look for the ones that are within your reach.

Someone with 2k-5k followers is more approachable than the 100k one. Make a list and reach out to one a day.

In this episode, I share with you how I changed my mindset towards money and how doing so helped me to be a wealth magnet.

Go to https://www.erafael.com/ if you want my help, coaching or mentorship :) 

I remember applying to every job in my town and everyone turning me down. In fact they just never called back.

But I went from that to helping clients scale their businesses to past 100k per month

Even at 19 years old I was already making a killing doing what I loved most!

If I could do it so can you- today I’ll show you exactly how.

Make sure you stick around to the end so you don’t miss the surrender method, it’s really powerful stuff.

P1:

-Expectations vs reality, the dissonance (lack of harmony) 

-Weird looping thoughts, wishing for things to be different.

-Uncertainty and not having clarity

P2:

-Value is perceived by others, exchange happens when it exceeds the price (even at a job)

-Find out what your ideal buyer values (what’s the result?) – I’ll share mine with you.

P3:

-The surrender method - resistance perpetuates scarcity.

-Let go of your old identity and wanting money. WANT to give exceeding value!

This is exactly how you can forever put a stop to being needy and start effortlessly attracting what you want.

Full disclaimer though. Make sure you stick around to the end of this to for the full solution, doing parts of it will not work.

First of all, understand why being needy drives everything you want away from you:

It subconsciously communicates that you are unworthy of what you want.

You start living a self fulfilling prophecy of acting as if you won’t get it.

It puts what you ‘need’ on an unreachable pedestal and weakens your self-image further, which makes you more needy.

Here’s how to fix it!

A) Visualize the Ideal Outcome:Relax and let go by imagining what it’ll be like when you get what you want.

B) Act As If You Already Got It:How would you behave if you already had it? Try that feeling on for size.

C) Release All Expectations:If you can simply let go of depending on the outcome for your happiness, you can focus on the actual process of making it more likely to get what you want.

D) Flip the Script:When you’re trapped in the need of something, your mind is too busy to actually help you get it.

If you flip this around and focus on what the other person/people might want or need, you are able to shift into a position of power!

In this podcast, I share with you how you can reset your mind for success!
