Knowing What Makes YOU Tick is at Least Half the Battle

Knowing what makes you tick as an entrepreneur or solopreneur is at least half the battle. This is especially true when you come to a place where you just don’t know what to do next. Knowing who you really are and knowing what you really want completes the picture, doesn’t it?

If we look back at what some people refer to as your “origin story,” you can see that your initial journey into self-discovery happened or played out naturally during your formative years. Once you become an adult, it’s easy to lose yourself in data, societal pressures, peer pressure to conform, and so on.

If you’ve lost that inner connection with the “true you” over the years, why not take a little bit of time to rediscover yourself? The impact this will have on your business (and personal) life can often be nothing short of transformational!

That and more in today’s podcast.

In today’s podcast, I want to talk about scaling your business by creating higher-priced, problem-solving, training products. Thankfully, you can scale an only business much easier today than you could in the past. Unless you’ve been in suspended animation for the past few years, you’ve watched the world change right before your eyes.

We can officially say, “Times have changed!”

Buying habits have also changed. So have the mindsets (for the most part) of the people we do business with. Is this bad news? It doesn’t have to be!

Today, if you’re looking to scale your income to the next level without increasing the cost of your overhead exponentially, you have very attractive options.

One of the best ways to do this, while keeping everyone happy, is by offering premium training and guidance-based products for the DIY (do-it-yourself) crowds. DIY’ers occupy every market you can think of.

In fact, I now believe the numbers of DIY’ers in most markets will increase exponentially as we enter the New Year. Why? Simply because the cost of done-for-you services will be out of reach for many businesses for multiple reasons.

That’s where you come in. If you’re looking to scale your income without doubling your overhead in the process, you’ll be able to do so with problem-solving, high-ticket products (or training). That and more in today’s episode!

I’m not what you’d call a productivity guru by any stretch of the imagination. I’ve also wasted my fair share of time as most people do. Even so, I’m more aware of time and how it affects the business world (as well as our place in it) today than I’ve been in the past.

Time is a funny thing. Sometimes it feels like you have plenty of it to do whatever it is that you really want to do. And then suddenly… you don’t.

When you look back, you begin to recognize just how quickly the days, weeks, months, and years are passing.

The point I’m trying to make is, we don’t have all the time in the world to build anything, let alone a successful business. You can’t stay in a place of indecisiveness indefinitely. Ultimately, time will make the decisions for you that you refuse to make.

In today’s podcast episode, I want to talk about completing and launching the very best version of your business ideas or projects over the next few months. That may very well mean, getting the help you need to finally get the job done

For the last several years, I’ve been hearing people in the digital marketing world stressing the fact that we’ve moved into an “Attention-Based, Attention-Driven Economy.”

Is it true? Well, it’s tough to argue. The playing field is much larger than it used to be, that’s for sure. The distractions have multiplied, there’s no doubt about that.

In today’s podcast, I want to talk about building a personal platform in a time when attention spans are falling to an all-time low. If finding a better marketing strategy is something you’d like to know more about, you’ll enjoy today’s episode!

It was tough coming up with a title for today’s episode. That’s because I shared an ongoing stream of thought on being an entrepreneur in general… and more specifically, the challenges faced by many solopreneurs. That includes, of course, scaling your business without adding more employees into the mix. I don’t have anything against working with a team of people, but it’s not something most people enjoy doing on a regular basis.

Teams have issues because people have issues. People get bored. People like moving on to other things. People are often inconsistent. And, of course, people often make their problems your problems.

So why build something (if you don’t have to) that will expose you to all the above? If scaling while keeping things smaller and more manageable sounds appealing to you, you’ll enjoy today’s episode!

I know a lot of people very find it difficult to focus on choosing or finding a niche in their market. They find it difficult to get complete clarity on what it is that makes them valuable to a certain subset of the marketplace.

In today’s podcast, I’d like to talk about creating a passive, automated sales system. A friend of mine shared this system with me, and his system uses elements within it that you’re all probably familiar with. It’s easy to dismiss things you think you already know a lot about, but I encourage you to keep an open mind with this.

Let me explain my thinking on this. If you’re struggling, you probably believe that the biggest breakthrough for your business will come from something new. Meaning, new information. Or, new software. Something you don’t already know about or have access to.

Oftentimes, however, the biggest breakthroughs happen when you learn to use what you already have or what you already know, in a different way. That’s the key. It’s like using familiar ingredients, but with a different recipe. Using the same ingredients, but with a different amount.

Another way would be to say, same numbers, just a different combination.

Or, using the same building materials with a different blueprint.

If setting up an automated, passive sales system sounds good to you – you’ll enjoy today’s episode.

People come in all shapes and sizes. The outward appearance, as we all know, can vary greatly from one person to the next. Beneath it all, of course, is the skeletal framework that’s (size and bone density aside) basically identical.

In other words, skeletons look-alike – all other things being equal.

There’s an analogy here that we can apply to the business world. Especially, the online business world. I would say that 90% of successful online businesses today (regardless of size) follow the same pattern.

The businesses may be different, but the inner workings are very similar. You

In today’s podcast, I’ll be sharing three simple activities that can transform your online business to the point where, if you follow through, you may not even recognize it six months from now.
