The use of video in our business can be one of the most dramatically impactful marketing efforts for our business, but more importantly may be one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself!

There are those who grew up dreaming of being a star and just can’t wait to get in front of the camera, and there are those of you who are terrified at the thought of being filmed. 

You know who you are.

On the topic of video I can’t stress just how amazing you are enough to you.  Let me assure you, I get where you are coming from!  I do! For YEARS the main image for my online presence was this awesome picture of a dog using a laptop. I LOVED IT.  But it took me a long time to realize… I was hiding. 

So I have begun to embrace all that I am and allow ALL of me to be available for you.  My desire is for you to learn and grow.  The best way I can help you with that is by modeling it. 

So no matter where you are and what the thoughts of being on video are for you, from excited to terrified and everything in between, I promise today wont hurt.  It will be fun.  And by the end of it no matter who you are you will be ready to really let all of you out.

Host Steve Kidd is DELIGHTED beyond words to be joined today by Keri Murphy CEO of Inspired Living.  Keri is on a mission to empower women of all ages dream live and be all that is possible.

Did you know that you actually have the power to improve the number of people that say yes to working with you?  Did you know that often the reason why we struggle when selling our product comes from the fact that we don’t know what questions to ask or how to ask them to get the response we want and need?  If you ask a question like, “Is there any reason why you wouldn’t want this?”  it immediately makes a person begin thinking of all the reason why they wouldn’t want it.  What does that mean to your business?  It means that you can make more if you ask the right questions.  But as my special guest, CeCe Clark the director of sales for Motivating the Masses and a powerhouse business woman in her own right says, “It is ALL in the quality of your questions.  So let's learn today how to ask the right kind of questions.

The most important thing that you need to do before finding your purpose is to accept who you truly are and be the best version of yourself. After that, ask yourself these questions:

What is your purpose?

Are you living the life God intended for you to live?

What's stopping you from living an intentional life?

A lot of things, including fear and money, are stopping you from living a purposeful life because once you do, you’ll be unstoppable. You’d be able to shift a ton of people around you. Remember, your purpose is not for you, it is for the people you were meant to serve. Just like what happened to Tia, finding her purpose didn’t only help her, it also helped and is currently helping the people she serves and it’s helping her business too.

What you can do after discovering your purpose is to create a life mission statement to create your identity. To know more about this, join Steve in this remarkable interview with Tia Ross on Thriving Entrepreneur.

If there’s one thing you can do and you know you will not fail what would you do? If there is something that only you possess, what would that be and would you share that with the world?

Marcus also talks about his passion for Marketing.

We should not procrastinate, and we should not just take action but live in the moment," Nacole said.

We all know that music is an effective medium to inspire people to action. Mark Pogue is a Classic Christian Rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter.

You pour out all your emotions to it to create something good which is music. Mark shares with us the story behind some of his songs and the 25-year silence that he had in his musical career since his last album.

Her book is one proof that God can and will work in your life if you let go and surrender everything to him.

What is the medium that you’re using to share your message with the world? Did you know that all the magic happens when you step out of your comfort zone?

Pushing past you comfort zone is terrifying, but sometimes that fear is the best thing you could have. You first need to understand that your existence has a purpose. You have a story that needs to be told and you have to share that with the world. It will be tough to succeed at the beginning, but you just have to keep pushing yourself to the limit and keep on doing what you love and what you’re good at so you can make an impact to the lives of others. Once you’ve reached that level of success that you’re aiming for, always keep in mind that it doesn’t end there. You will need to engage with your audience by constantly connecting with them.
