The Bacon Podcast with Brian Basilico | CURE Your Sales & Marketing with Ideas That Make It SIZZLE!

After surviving a fatal car accident when he was 7 years old, Dan received what he calls “a warning shot,” life’s second chance. Inspired by his near death accident, he began to see the world differently and understand people at a deeper level recognizing that at the end of each day we must ask ourselves “Did I love, Did I laugh, Did I learn, Did I serve?” Since then, he plotted a path for a life full of risk-taking, facing adversities head-on and stepping into uncertainty with confidence, dedicated to helping others do the same.

Dan LeFave is the co-author of Award Winning "Stepping Stones to Success" and specializes in using the power of our minds to get the things we love and want most in life. We are either using our minds in a way that prospers our lives or poisoning our minds and suffering in our lives. The solution to all our problems is closer than we think, it's in our minds.

Last week, I taught a class at Aurora University this week (actually two) for a masters degree program. They were both trying to create a campaign for a luxury travel company that provides experiences. What I did is outline the keys to success. By the time I was done, they started to understand how to create a strategic plan that would help them communicate to their perfect audience and start to build communities.

In this episode, I will outline the five steps that I taught them on how to start building a tribe and how to get them to know, like, and trust you.

Even if you find this podcast mid-year, these are still tips you can use at any time.

* Review Your Numbers

* Update Your Website

* Create Your Marketing Calendar

* Revisit Your Email Marketing

In this episode, we will dig into the what, how, and why you should review your marketing tools and efforts.

One of my favorite recent questions I was asked in my Bacon Weekly Mastermind was - "How do I get more people to visit my website?". That answer is both easy and complex... "Buy It or Earn It!".

It really depends on your business and if you can get a return on investment on advertising. If you can spend $1 and make $2, or $5, then you advertise. Most small to mid-sized businesses have a hard time seeing a return on investment with many advertising options. So the best option is to earn it through content marketing. You have to know who you are marketing to, and what questions or problems they need answers about!

In this episode, we will explore these options and what makes the most sense for you and your business!

I don't know about you, but I sometimes lose sleep over my business. It's complex and ever changing. I have dreams about procedures, systems, customers, and more. We own businesses because we want to control our destiny, but that comes with the burden of owning and controlling that destiny with our actions and decisions.

* Generate More Sales

* Cash Flow

* Controlling Expenses

* Expanding Customer Base

* Competition

In this episode, we will dig into each of the above in a little more detail. Once you get control of these 5 things, you can control your business, rather than your business controlling you!

I was listening to a Podcast by Michael O’Neal call the Solopreneur Hour when he asked the question? "Do you know how easy it is to earn $100,000? All you have to do is get 200 people to spend $500 with you in a year!". That got me thinking... What does it take to make $1,000,000? Obvious 1,000,000 people paying you a dollar or 1 person to give you $1,000,000, but are either of those realistic?

In this episode, I will explore the Million Dollar Marketing Mindset and what it takes...

* Learn - Invest in yourself through education

* Implement - Take action on the ideas you have learned

* Analyze - Collect data and learn to read beyond the basics.

Finally, I will give you the secret sauce that I believe can take you over the top to that Million Dollar Marketing Mindset.
