Today, Den talks about ways in which you can hack yourself and your daily habits so you can make maximum money in minimum time.

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear:

• Den's two eye-opening observations of his best performing Video Accelerator members. -1:20
• The "pant shitting" topic that almost always stops flakes, tire kickers, and time-wasters in their tracks. (If you ever feel like a prospective client is wasting your time, just bring up this topic and watch them scamper off like a cockroach seeking a place to hide. -  1:50)
• Why only drooling idiots ask "What's the key to success?" - 2:15
• A startling statistic taken from Den's mastermind group that'll make you want to join right quick. You may not believe your ears when Den first gives this statistic at 3:00
• The “two-word” secret for cranking up your focus, ratcheting up your creative juices, and unleashing a flood of creativity to solve big business (and life) problems you may have right now. (Not to be too negative, but know this: this is not a sexy or glamorous secret, but make no mistake, it works like crazy for those who are not afraid of a bit of discomfort and put this into action. - 4:40)
• A little-known business book you'd be silly not to read. - 6:50
• Why the only thing that should dirty a business owner's hands is money! - 9:20
• A dead giveaway that a freelance video guy is clueless about how to scale a business. (HINT: it's something they say when the topic of marketing comes up. Den said that if he got a nickel for every time he heard a freelancer say this he would put all those nickels in a sock and beat the next person who said it. - 10:10)
• The little-talked-about marketing "lag". - 11:05
• What a "trust-building" funnel is, and why you should have one if you haven't already. - 18:00
• Why you should actively seek to get rid of clients! - 19:20
• Are you chasing rabbits or elephants? Hear this client-getting lesson at 20:00
• The “CA” secret to accelerating your business growth and maximizing your business’s profits in minimum time. (This one is more mental than practical and can take a bit of discipline, but I'm sure you won't mind when you start seeing the results!  - 21:00)

Today, Den reveals 21 hard-won lessons from 12-years in business.

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear:

• Den's honest-to-God thoughts about vision boards. - 3:00
• A certain character trait EVERY highly successful business owner or entrepreneur has in spades. (Without this critical trait, well... your chances of success are about as slim as Kate Moss on a juice-only diet. - 4:45)
• Quite possible the ultimate motivation for any freelancer/business owner or entrepreneur who feels like giving up. (Next time you feel like throwing in the towel, just think of what's mentioned at 5:14 and this proverbial "stick" will give you that pep in your step to keep on keepin' on.)
• A little-known reading "hack" that will allow even folks who are slow readers to quickly consume content as much 2, 3, or even 5 times faster than you do now. - 6:15
• Perhaps the single most important tip Den shares in this entire episode. But don't get too excited, now. It's incredibly dull and unsexy. That said, if you embrace it and heed the advice, you'll set yourself up for great success. - 7:20
• Den's clever phone “trick” for never having to listen to people's long-winded voice messages or any voice messages, for that matter. (But… doesn't he miss out on important business matters? Nope. Here' why... 8:20)
• A BIG risk almost every freelancer takes that can be avoided. - 14:30
• The very first hire you should make for your freelance business. Forget everything else until you have this key person in place. - 18:50
• What's best: renting or buying equipment? Well, it depends. Hear Den's advice at 21:30
• A tempting business option to take that nearly always ends in tears, and that’s putting it mildly. - 23:00
• Hard-nosed insider advice on forming a business partnership. - 23:10
• Are you considering forming a business partnership with a friend? Then you should listen carefully at 24:00
• Why Den recently knocked back a lucrative gig from Sony. -27:00
• Why ideas (even great ideas) are totally overrated. - 29:00
• The secret to becoming a force of nature in business. This is the big secret behind every truly successful business person. (If you can make what's mentioned at 29:30 a habit in your daily business life, then you will start to appear superhuman to others while they struggle to keep up, and... wonder what your secret is.)

Today, Den interviews his pal Ryan Koral from Detroit Michigan. Ryan owns a successful video production company called Tell Studios and runs one of the most popular video podcasts on the planet. Den and Ryan talk all things video production and give up some of their most hard-won and battle-tested secrets to growing bigger and more profitable video business.

But first...

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear:

• Ryan stomps all over Den's intro leaving Den to pick up all the pieces. - 0:07
• Hear about Ryan's attitude towards business that's about as rare a rocking horse shit. - 4:45
• How to create win/win/win deals. That's right, there is a certain way to do business that goes one step further than your usual win/win deals. (But you must be willing to put your ego aside. Full details at 6:00)
• Why "collaboration" often gives "competition" a good ol' fashioned beatdown, especially in the business world. - 8:30
• Ryan's "Be okay with some prospects thinking you're not okay" lesson. Hear this liberating message at 9:35
• How to deliver your video production service with open hands and a big heart instead of a clenched fist and black heart. Easier said than done? Of course, but hearing what Ryan shares at 12:00 will certainly help.
• The life-changing decision Ryan made after his second child was born and while living in a bungalow the size of a London telephone booth. - 16:10
• A grizzly (and unnerving) thought that almost all freelance videographers have but are too scared to deal with. Yup, instead of facing it head-on, they just push it down into the basements of their soul and pretend it's not there. - 17:05
• Wanna know what would be every videographers' wet dream? It's landing a client like this... - 18:55
• 3 dead giveaways that a client will end up being a complete pain in the arse. - 22:10
• How some videographers are no different from a sugar daddy when choosing what clients they work with. - 26:00
• How embracing the word "NO" can save your business and your peace of mind. - 29:00

• Is marketing getting harder or easier? Hear Den's opinion at 5:15
