In this week’s episode, I address some issues that came from an article on the 3 types of people that read personal development and the response a guy shared on what he considered a 4th type, the kind that think it’s stupid, a waste of time, and doesn’t work! Today’s show shares what to do when personal development doesn’t work and you’re ready to quit and how to create this change in your life!

When you’re ready to quit and you feel all your efforts of “trying to change” have been for nothing, you feel defeated and upset. This is a common issue when trying to go through a massive change in your life. There are various issues that you have to deal with when walking into the world of personal development because you encounter a lot of pain and frustration when things don’t turn out the way you want.

Information Outlined in Today’s Show:

Emotions Backed of Response to Quit (Where They’ve Come From)

* Frustration: You’ve Tried

* Anger: Don’t have the results you want yet

* Fear: If I tried again, what would happen?

* More Anger: You still feel the same; Nothing’s Changed

* Hope: You want things to Change

* Confusion: Don’t know how to make things change

2 Things to Consider to Envoke a Change:

* Realize Where & Who You Are: This is the root of confusion, frustration, and anger due to not knowing where to start.

* Who is going to help you?

The HOW:

* Write it all down – NO TYPE IT (Purpose: Get it ALL out!) Let loose & write unedited

* What on this paper stands out to you the most? (What’s the most painful? Circle 3 things max.

* Of the 3 things you circled, these are the things you address FIRST.

In today’s show, I was glad to get a chance to share in some of the commonalities of some important characteristics I see new entrepreneurs mess over when sharing their business online. They try to be someone they’re not and miss great opportunities to connect by just being themselves. So, today I cover 5 crucial points when sharing your brand, i.e. YOU online!

 

5 Points Covered in Today’s Show:

 

1.) It attracts more people to you when you show your AUTHENTICITY! 

Do you want people to think you are always in a good mood, never have a bad moment or don’t step in a puddle in the rain on accident? lol (I hate wet socks lol). You have to show people who you are and share your different quirks about yourself for people to really connect with you.

 

2.) Are you being ROBOTIC or REAL? Do people have to wonder if they’re getting the real YOU or just the “business you”?

Can people clearly tell you’re just putting on aires to appear this great business leader all the time or can they see you “life”? It’s not about putting ALL YOU BUSINESS on front street, but sharing some of yourself with who you want to know you and do business with you.

You had to take time out to get to know your audience, what they like, what they don’t like and they will expect the same from you.

With 28 years of age coming around the corner I have the special opportunity to reflect on how I’ve grown over the last 6 years of going a favored book fair every year. For the first time, I left a book fair with feeling that special ZING I usually feel. Trying to figure this out I FINALLY realized that what I wanted, was looking for and was currently needed wasn’t in abundance. Comparing where I was at my very first book fair visit compared to now and the 6 major factors that I learned in life to create massive change, that EVERY Entrepreneur should know!

No matter where you are in your business, these lessons are important to know and internalize!

Today is the FIRST OFFICIAL EPISODE of the Passion to Business Podcast!

In today’s episode, I shared a heartfelt message of some of the challenges that can be experienced when taking on the charge of Entrepreneurship and my perspective on those I’ve experienced.

Sometimes it can be difficult to press on day after day with the same enthusiasm.

This is one of the reasons why I love the quote by Jim Rohn, “The winds of life blow on us all, but it’s how you set your sail.” It truly is how we set our sail that determines our course.

Even when going through health challenges, loss, fear of all sorts of things we learn to push through when we don’t want to. If we don’t have a focus on our goals, truly ingrained in our being with a passion and purpose for what we’re doing, it’s easy for things to be left uncompleted.

In anything you do, stay focused, stay passionate, and stay on purpose!

In today’s show, I focus on the Top 5 Personal Credit Tips that can help you manage and properly evaluate your credit report. A lot of focus is put on your overall credit score, but that is NOT the main focus, it’s the report! The report is what determines the score and today we go over what to look for on your report and understand what you’re looking at. For an Entrepreneur, credit is two-fold, business credit & personal credit, and before you look to develop business credit, look at your personal report. [Blooper Alert: I said Insurance instead of Interest lol]
