#67: How to Beat Burnout and Become a Crowdfunding Rock Star with Khierstyn Ross

Hello, epic wells and beauties and welcome to another episode of the Art of Epic Wellness. Well, we are still deep into season 2, digging into what makes our foundation great, what keeps it all together and our rituals and habits.

Today, I have a very inspiring guest. He is the founder of the world famous nonprofit 1Life Fully Lived – which was featured on Forbes magazine – and is one of the founders of the adventure travel mastermind Gobundance. He is none other than the awesome Tim Rhode.

Tim Rhode is a “late bloomer” that barely graduated high school, retired financially free at 40 and now helps others to “dream, plan, and live” their best lives. Tim lives with his wife Tina in Portola, California, and his 3 grown children live in nearby Reno, Nevada.

Listen and be inspired:

Here are a few of my favorite parts:

Loved it when Tim shared about how his dad would always say he only had $12 until the end of the month – perhaps this was what inspired him to push through and succeed

Tim talks to me about his past jobs just to make ends meet. You wouldn’t believe what he went through! Listen up!

He gave a tip on how to spend money. Hint: don’t spend as you make it.

“I put the kids right on my schedule!” Adorable and so inspiring!

Tim gave an overview of what he does to help people at his nonprofit, 1Life Fully Lived!

Special info on the upcoming East Coast conference (where I will be doing a Breakout session! Woohoo!)

It moved me when he said it was always good to be childlike sometimes. “There’s nothing like the sound of an adult giggling.” Right on, brotha!

What the heck is ryking? Find out!

Of course, he tells me about his mantra, how he deals with overwhelm, and his 80/20! So pumped right now!

Hello, epic wells and beauties! We’ve come to our final Tropical Think Tank stop!

On this episode of the podcast, I talk about the third and final day at the amazing conference Chris Ducker and his team have set up for all of us – 50 entrepreneurs from all over the world, hungry to learn from the best and brightest in the field. I feel so blessed to be part of this group, and I can truly say that I’ve finally found my tribe.

It’s been one heck of a ride since a started this podcast, and during this conference – especially during this final day – I was struck with so much emotion. I broke open. And now, I feel more fired up and inspired as ever!

Listen in to my epic takeaways from the last three speakers of Tropical Think Tank – plus a pretty hilarious story about what happened to me last night! Hint: it involves organic wine and old closets!

Day 3 Speakers

Lou Mongello

www.loumongello.com

Lou is all about the love, the connection, the relationships you maintain with your audience. He started out with the Walt Disney World podcast and grown so much since. He was the one who had a very different message from everyone else. What made me totally connect with him is that he emphasized so much on creating those strong connections between you (as an entrepreneur) and your fans or audience.

When he was starting out, he built his brand via in-person meetups! Yes, he really went out there and reached out. How cool is that! I’ve always said that I’m more of the “in-person” type of girl, and I work great with people – more in real life than when I just hang out with them online. I believe his message and speech relates deeply to the core of the Art of Epic Wellness because here, in this community, we value true in-person connection.

I’ll always be grateful to Lou for opening doors for me to switch up how I will approach my community. Since I love meeting people more in person, then I guess it would be a great way to actually see and spend time with my audience.

Jadah Sellner

www.simplegreensmoothies.com

www.jadahsellner.com

Okay.. this amazing, inspiring lady has been incredibly successful with her brand and business. I’ve been a fan of her for a long time now, and it was such an honor to be in the same room as she was speaking in! She totally brought the house down with all her value bombs.

She’s made Simple Green Smoothies big with her 30-day challenges! It’s something that I would definitely love to try and pattern after here at the Art of Epic Wellness, so that’s one great takeaway right there!

Jadah tells us to just love your audience! When you give love, you get love back! So true! And we’re all about giving and receiving LOVE at the Epic Wellness community, aren’t we?

I got so emotional toward the end of her speech. Jadah seriously just opened the floodgates for me. She talks about how it’s okay to be a glowstick. Sometimes, we have to break in order to shine. WOW! That totally did it for me. So inspiring!

Hal Elrod

www.miraclemorning.com

www.halelrod.com

If you’ve been listening to the podcast since the beginning, then you know that I’ve been in coaching with Hal. I’ve seen him grow exponentially over the time I’ve known him, and I couldn’t be any more proud!

Hal is the brain behind the epic Miracle Morning book, which has helped so many people in their lives – including myself. At the conference, Hal talked about emotional intelligence and how to create a mindset of “can’t change it.” What is it? Well,

Hello, epic wells and beauties! How have you all been doing?

I’m back with the second installment of my three-part series on I’m still honestly super hungover from all the information I learned during that three-day event, and I’m still organizing all my notes and action plans. I hope you guys find what I share with you helpful in your own journey!

So without further ado, here are my epic takeaways from Day 2!

Day 2 Speakers

Jordan Harbinger

www.theartofcharm.com

He’s all about networking and becoming a charming human being!

I learned so much from Jordan’s speech? Why? Because I resonated so much with his purpose. I mean, here at the Art of Epic Wellness, I’m all about connection. Connection, as I said, is what makes us human. During his talk, Jordan emphasized the importance of networking – and he even demonstrated his expertise in the field. So impressive!

If you feel like you’re not good at connecting, worry not! Jordan reminds us to constantly work out that networking muscle over and over again – eventually, you will get better at it! Right on, brother!

Epic points:

Creating deep, meaningful, and intentional connections are very important

Your network is your security blanket

Networking is a currency that’s more effective money

There are two sides to networking: you want to be giving and receiving

Asking for things keeps the flow going

We often stop the flow of abundance by doing too much of one thing

Your network is your GOAL. Remember that!

Epic quote: “Generosity is the currency of networking.”

Nathan Chan

www.foundrmag.com

This dude is young – but don’t let his youth blind you! He’s an epic entrepreneur. What makes him so? Well, for one, he had Richard Branson on the cover of his digital magazine, Foundr. I mean, who does that! Well.. I got the answer: it’s Nathan Chan.

He’s such a driven individual that just hearing him speak sends you into a motivated overdrive state! Nathan reminds us all to put our best foot forward – all the time! He totally blew me away with his wit and what’s great about him is that he takes note of how important DESIGN is in business. Yes! And you all know I am for design and beauty and art!

Epic points:

Design speaks louder than words. Right you are, my friend!

Design is the expression and extension of you

Always put your best out there!

Epic quote: “ You earn your reputation by doing hard things well.”

Matthew Kimberley

www.matthewkimberley.com

His tagline? “How to sell without selling out!” Wow, makes you really wanna jump into his site, huh?

Matthew is the speaker who got voted to come back this year from Tropical Think Tank 2015. He’s that great at what he does! During his speech, he totally owned the stage. He was using his voice, his hands, his gestures, his entire body to get his message across – and I have to say it was quite impressive and effective! He reminds everyone to become better at what they do – how do you do that? You become a specialist. Be THE ONE people go to for help.

Epic points:

His 16 different sales tactics! Amazing!

He tells us that when you can sell, you don’t have to create things!

Study copywriting if you want to become a better salesperson

BECOME A SPECIALIST

Epic quote: “We’re not afraid of selling; we’re afraid of changing the nature of the relationship.”

So, my dearies, ask yourself this question: where can you play full out and give tru...

Hello, epic wells and beauties! I’m back with a bang! I missed you all so much! No, seriously.. I do! It’s been crazy the past month – I’ve been traveling a lot and learning a ton too!

 

So yes, I just got back from the amazing event hosted by the one and only Chris Ducker – Tropical Think Tank 2016! It’s my second time this year, and I gotta say I’m still blown away and super impressed by how every single detail was taken care of! I flew all the way to the Philippines, in Southeast Asia, to partake in this event – and it was well worth it! I learned so much from these pro speakers – and the beautiful tropical paradise we were in was a bonus!

I met so many wonderful people from last year that I decided to go back. And guess what! 40% of last year’s attendees came back! Last year, I was so curious and new; this year, I felt a bit more seasoned, relaxed, open, and aware. So I made this year as the year that I deepened relationships! It’s been an awesome experience!

Epic points:

“You gotta find the one that doesn’t feel like work for you.”

On social media, hang out and connect. That’s where the magic happens – when you engage!

“The power of visual storytelling is so magical.”

“Have content that drives emotion.”

Brian Clark is the Babe Ruth of Internet content creation and marketing! He taught us how to do market research, how to create engaging content, and the importance digging into forums and reviews! I was left in awe with all the value and information I’ve learned!

Epic points:

“You achieve goals by helping others achieve theirs.”

How to do market research and get tons of information on forums and reviews

 

So what do all these points have to do with wellness? You can bet your bottom dollar that it does! Connection. Without connection, we have nothing. Connection is what makes us human. Creation is vitally important – as is being able to express what we’re creating!
