The Wade Alters Show

So I've been coaching my girlfriend, Dana, on how to make friends lately.

She recently started a new job, and with the move to LA, she's had to re-adjust her social circle and start meeting new people.

It's giving me flashbacks to my old coaching days, where we'll be out at an event, and I'll tell her to go approach someone and how to start a conversation LOL.

It's easy for some and harder for others, depending upon how social or "popular" you were growing up.

The funny thing is, even though those grade-school days are long behind us, we still carry a lot of baggage into our identity today.

It can do some serious damage to our self-esteem, thinking that we deserve less than ideal behaviours from others.

We put 'glass-ceilings' on to what we think we're worthy of.

One thing that I always keep coming back to, and hammer home is:

"It's never your identity, it's always your strategy"

Part of that strategy is interrupting negative thoughts.

Like "never being the cool kid" or thinking "these people are better than me".

Anything that leads to unproductive behaviour.

So you'll need some mindfulness to interrupt those thoughts and stop them in their tracks.

But to actually fix these problems, it's important to start building social momentum!

It's not going to fall into your lap organically.

We don't have classrooms where it's easy to socialize with friends and create important shared experiences anymore.

And you know, we're the average of our 5 closest friends.

The quality of our relationships plays a big role in our overall quality of life.

SO if you want to learn the keys to levelling up your social circle, making new friends, and hanging out with people you've always wanted to…

Check out this week's podcast on the social dynamics of making friends, create long lasting relationships and become the best, most successful version of yourself with the right people surrounding and influencing you to reach your potential & have a lot of fun doing it too.

And as always,

Enjoy!

If you're curious about how to use these dynamics to network more effectively and level up your business career, download Elite Level Networking and inject everything I know directly into your brain.

50X your networking skills and meet those mentors and highly successful professionals in your field and have them captivated to know who you are!

When you need a good slap in the face for motivation and get your butt to work, read "The 10X Rule" from Grant Cardone.

But… It misses a key part of what it takes to reach those "top of the mountain" type of goals (that I've gone through, and many of my clients).

(For anyone who isn't familiar with The 10X Rule by Grant Cardone, it basically comes down to:

Whatever goal you're trying to achieve, your going to need to do 10X the amount of work to truly achieve that goal. It's going to be 10X harder than you think it is.)

It doesn't just come down to doing 10X the work.

Because you can't "10X" your work output…

If you don't know WHAT to do in order to become successful.

You don't know what you don't know...

It's not as simple as going from A → B and B → C.

When I was coaching guys with dating women, they wanted the "lines" and "openers".

They thought these were the keys to get women.

So I gave it to them.

And it worked.

… For one minute until it ran out and they didn't know what to say after.

They could have tried 'The 10X Rule' with approaching 10X more women with those same lines and openers.

It wouldn't have made a difference.

They would have found themselves in the same situation right after:

Stumbling over their words and nervously trying to make conversation.

It's not just one strategy like "The 10X Rule" that will make the difference…

Because if you apply the 10X Rule incorrectly, you're toast.

You're going to hit walls and obstacles, and continually running into the same problems over and over again if you don't try from different angles.

Check out this week's podcast on the missing piece from "The 10X Rule" so you don't keep smashing into the same obstacle over and over again - with NO results!!

And as always,

Enjoy!

As you might know, I consult with influencers and help them monetize their brand with authentic product launches.

And these guys are absolutely killing it with the content they're putting out.

They're coming to me because they've built up massive fanbases, but don't know how to turn it into a business.

But something I've noticed working with them is that they'll have a scarcity mindset when it comes to giving out their BEST stuff!

If only I could grab them by the collar and smack some sense into them…!

Because they're holding themselves BACK from even more success.

If you think in scarcity, that's what your gonna get in reality.

These influencers think that if they put out their "best stuff", people will steal it OR they feel like they should be paid for it.

But you're taking away the chance to connect on an even deeper with your audience.

When you're deeply fascinated in your content, you'll find all sorts of new information from the weirdest places.

(In the podcast, you'll see how I related picking up girls to surfing).

Your followers are coming to you because you provide that unique knowledge they can't find anywhere else and can rely on you for the best stuff.

The more you can do that, and the more value you can give - the more they will trust you and listen to you when you make them an offer (like launching a course or product).

So check out this week's podcast on Content Scarcity and learn why releasing everything is your best formula for massive success.

And as always…

Enjoy!

So you might not know this…

But as a kid, I was actually kind of an idiot!

Get this:

Growing up, I didn't know you were supposed to sleep with your eyes closed 😐

Nobody ever told me you were supposed to close your eyes when you go to sleep lol…

Also, I never used soap until I was 18 or 19, because I didn't know you were supposed to.

Man... the things my parents should've taught me but didn't…

So why does this matter?

Well, even though I grew up completely oblivious to SO MANY things that were common sense, I actually ended up doing OK in life!

You figure for someone who was dumb growing up, they'd end up picking beans for a living or under disability care or something.

But right now, I live in the most beautiful city in the world just a few blocks from the beach…

With my awesome girlfriend who I've been with for 6 years...

And run a business that allows me to reach my full potential and work in my zone of genius everyday.

So even though my parents didn't "raise" me in the best way possible... they did give me the ONE thing that's led to all my success.

One thing that's let me live a life of greatness, which I couldn't have done without them.

So, check out this week's podcast to see what that "Thing" is, and how you can cultivate it to achieve whatever you want in life!

And as always…

Enjoy!

Manipulation gets a bad reputation… but if you want to be successful, you have to do whatever it takes to get your clients to take action.

After all, I'm getting paid THOUSANDS of dollars to get results for my clients. And I've found that manipulating them is the only way to get them to move forward.

It's usually the PERSON, not the obstacle, that holds people back from achieving their goals.

I studied under one of the top leaders of Neuro Linguistic Programming and Hypnosis, Barbara Stepp, for 3 years to deeply understand what persuades and motivates us.

And what persuasion really comes down to is being effective communicator.

I speak to a lot of entrepreneurs, coaches and consultants who have great businesses that can do so much for the customers they want to serve.

But struggle to communicate the end result of what their customers TRULY want…

So they never get the sales calls or leads they're dying for.

So if you want to learn how to be a more effective communicator, you need to check out this week's podcast.

I'm showing you how to tap into subconscious desires and attract others to what you have to offer.

And using Persuasion at whatever costs necessary!!

Muahahaha… ;)

Building a successful business is like crafting a sculpture. You're probably not gonna make the perfect sculpture on your first try.

You need patience, focus and vision to create your masterpiece. You gonna make mistakes and you have to keep practicing until you get better.

It's the same with building a business. Finding the right angle, testing, getting feedback, and continual refinement until you've made a masterpiece.

But it's not for everyone though... Just like how some people aren't artistic and creative, not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur either.

With all the Gary Vee's, Tai Lopez's and Pat Flynn's talking about how you should be your own boss, at the end of the day, not everyone can do it.

What I've found working with my Chosen 20 Clients (high-level, minimum 6-figure entrepreneurs) is there's a certain "lifecycle" that each entrepreneur goes through in his journey to success.

It tests your ability to handle and overcome problems and find solutions to make it work.

When I screen potential clients for coaching, I meet a lot of people that think they have "The Perfect Idea".

Let me tell you right now...

The perfect idea doesn't exist.

There's a process that successful entrepreneurs overcome called "The 3 Year Slog".

It's about trimming the fat from your business and seeing if you have the ambition to make things happen, handle uncertainty, take risks and believe in yourself.

Check out this week's podcast episode on the "3 Year Slog" and see how you can come out the other end with a successful, high-level business that delivers massive value for your customers.

Whatup! Wade here, and I just finished recording a podcast with one of my friends, AJ, whose built a 7-figure business from his podcast.

I'm not quite there yet (still working my way up from 6-figures…)

So I had to ask him: How did he do it?

Long gone are the days of leaving business cards in men's bathroom stalls to promote his brand!

But he said that if you want to have a successful podcast, you have to focus on 3 key things.

Wanna know what they are?

It doesn't just apply to podcasting, but if you're making ANY content, it will help you stand out against your competition.

Check out this week's episode of The Wade Alters Show where we break down these 3 key things and how you can use them to stand out from what everyone else is putting out there.

I also got AJ to reveal how he monetized his podcast, without realizing he was sitting on a treasure chest all along.

Give it a listen and it'll instantly boost your content game.

And as always,

Enjoy!

People follow Influencers that they want to become.

Think about it.

How do you see me?

And any other influencers you follow closely?

That's the law of attraction working some of its magic.

Everyday new Instagram Influencers (who I've never heard of before) are popping up that have 100,000+ followers, build amazing communities of fans who are interested in the same things they are.

It's amazing. I hope they're poppin' champagne and celebrating because that's one of the hardest things to do!

The thing that sucks though is that when you go behind the scenes (and I know a lot of these people, especially since I started living out in LA), is that they're struggling to get by.

Most of these influencers suck at selling.

They come off all weird and incongruent, pick products that are totally crap to promote to their audience, and try too hard to be sales-y.

There's a fine line between promoting products nobody cares about (and doing it in a way that pisses off your audience) and coming up with something that your audience will love.

So in this week's podcast, I break down why 2019 is the year of the Personal Brand, why consumers are moving towards this direction, and the subtle art of 'seducing' your audience with products that they'll love:

• Why having a Personal Brand creates massive trust with your followers and defeats skepticism in your offer (leading to more engaged prospects & sales)
• How the art of copywriting has become subtle and changed from hype-y to more authentic & congruent (and how to promote your offer without pissing off your audience)
• My 'Sales Seduction' methodology that has helped my clients build 6-7 figure businesses for their Personal Brands!

Lemme know what you think.

And as always…

Enjoy!

PS:

If you haven't heard yet, I'm breaking down the 3 tactics of 'Sales Seduction' and how to build a Personal Brand that sells in an upcoming webinar.

If you have a personal brand or if you wanna increase your sales online, this is the best place to do it.

It's going to be free and LIVE on Wednesday, March 13th!

You can ask me any questions you want as we'll have a Q&A at the end.

Here's the link to check it out.

Everytime I meet a high-level entrepreneur, it makes me realize it's true that your network = your net-worth.

My newest friend (and connection), Hooman, is one of the biggest YouTube stars and is the #1 prankster with over 5.7 Million Subscribers.

We talked and I learned how he went from having NOTHING (he immigrated to the U.S. at 14 years old and couldn't even speak English) to having one of the largest brands on YouTube.

92% of people will make all the excuses in the world as to why they can't do something, or victimize themselves when they're challenged with an obstacle.

So when I hear Hooman's story, it's inspiring because you realize when you have no excuses, anything is possible.

And it's why I thought he'd be a great fit to come onto the show.

So check out this week's episode to see how he went from nothing to becoming massive influencer in only a handful of years! Here's what you'll learn:

• The most cutting edge social media strategy to becoming an influencer and which platform is best to build a relationship with your fans.
• How to create viral videos and becoming a reliable source in your viewer's head so they keep coming back to you.
• The science behind building creating an online persona that others are attracted to.
• Why being obsessed with successful influencers can create overwhelm and sabotage your confidence to become one yourself (and how to avoid this trap).

Click here to learn how Hooman's mindsets lead him to 5.7M YouTube Subs + insane wealth (and what you can learn from them too).

Yo whatup!

Lately I've been reading a biography on the best copywriter of our era (and one of my mentors), Dan Kennedy.

So there's this funny part in his book where Donald Trump recommends Dan read the 'The Productive Narcissist'.

I heard Trump doesn't read anything at all... And apparently he won't listen to anything that doesn't have his name in it lol.

But this book actually explains a lot about Trump… and his insane level of narcissism (as well as his success).

The book is written by a psychoanalyst who won a Harvard Business Review award for his research on narcissism, Michael Maccoby.  

And it shows that narcissism is a key trait with the world's most successful leaders because being a narcissist allows you to deeply believe in your own vision and view of the world.

Steve Jobs… Oprah… Bill Gates… Jack Welch...

All of them believed that they could accomplish what no one else could.

Now I'm not trying to say you should become closed-minded and think that you're right about everything and that the world should be the way you think it is… That would be ignorant.

But if you truly believe that you can change the world, or that your idea, product or service can... then maybe you have a hidden potential inside that's going to waste because you're not using this principle effectively!

We're living in the era of the Personal Brand, where anyone with a voice, expertise and the right marketing knowledge can influence others. [http://bit.ly/wadealterswebinar]

And like the old pickup principle I taught back in the day…

"The person with the strongest frame, wins"

So if you want to impact the world through the vision of how you believe we can evolve… Check out this week's podcast where you'll learn:

• The narcissistic mindset shift to get what you want, and how to know if you have the quality traits that makes you a narcissist.
• The unapologetic attitude you need to block out the haters and doubters to manifest the life you want.
• How to selfishly live in alignment with your values rather than worrying about what other people think so you can and impact others through your vision / idea / product.

And as always…

Enjoy!
