One of my favorite passages from "As A Man Thinketh" by James Allen. It's a book I highly recommend to anybody who's willing to change their thinking in order to achieve the results they want.

In partnership with Pro Sulum, I'm creating a regular video series for their clients on ways you can deploy your VSA to automate 98% of your business. To learn more, you can reply to this message or visit www.prosulum.com for more details.

Most businesspeople know that they need to grow and manage their email lists; but most never get around to it - because of monetary costs, time costs, and unhelpful stories they tell themselves.

It's crazy that people are unwilling to do the hard work to make selling easy (do you feel called out? LOL).

I created this video to show you how I automatically grow my database - and it's led to meaningful conversations, fruitful partnerships, and deals closed. Hope it helps you in your efforts.

If you are a consultant or coach, there is no better sales tool than the validation of your clients. Here I show how my VSA creates a system of getting testimonials, prospects for them, and gives me more sales tools in the process.

You can access the video here.

I had a conversation with an awesome speaker who's been on some pretty prominent stages, and he had a question about using VSAs to continue booking more keynote deals. I share some ideas that you can use for any type of service provider, B2B business. Hope this helps!

A client of ours is hiring another VSA to manage marketing and wanted some ideas to get started on reaching more people. I share a few ideas here. Hope they help!

"No matter what one does, regardless of failure or success, the experience is a form of success in itself" - Jack Ma; $48.2 billion founder of Alibaba

"You can't learn from experiences you're not having. You have to go and try $#!+" - Mike Vance; early mentor to Jack Welch and Steve Jobs, and right-hand man to Walt Disney

"Failure is the most information-dense data stream you'll ever have." - Tom Bilyeu; founder of billion-dollar Quest Nutrition and Impact Theory

But you need to start. There are things you just can't possibly figure out on this side of taking action, despite all of the research, planning, and contingencies. That's where vision, gut, courage, faith, and love kick in and fill the gaps.

And if you fail? You just acquired a signal to strengthen your next steps. There is a high chance you won't die (queue sarcasm) and you can recover. And you've failed ahead of every other fear-ridden overthinker that doesn't take action.

That sounds like a win, still.

During uncertain and/or difficult times, you can't over-communicate with your stakeholders - your team, your customers, and your followers in general.

Here's a way to touch on every one in your sphere of influence that's both personalized AND scalable. And though the example I go over focuses on social media and restaurants, you can easily transfer this to your business and preferred platforms to a great result.

A friend, client, and successful business owner asked me how I keep my inboxes at zero - despite having nine restaurants, a slew of investments I'm on the board of, my family/homeschool activities, a nonprofit organization, and personal activities...and I thought it might be helpful to answer that question in podcast form, so that it might help the rest of my audience, too.

Hope you enjoy!

A few months ago, I was interviewed by a former executive at little-known company Chipotle *queue the sarcasm*, host of the Cutting Onions Podcast, and restaurant consultant and principal Bobby Shaw of Bobby Shaw Consulting.

Bobby Shaw Consulting: https://bobbyshawconsulting.com/

Cutting Onions Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-cutting-onions-podcast/id1477676026 (subscribe to learn from top-performers and executives of iconic restaurant companies that we love).

He's a wonderful guy, and super focused on building resilient, people-first restaurant companies (and the usual byproduct of that is immense profitability) for clients.

In this episode, we touch on these topics:

Forgive my constant stuttering. At the time I wasn't used to being recorded - I blame the introvert and rookie public figure in me - but if you'll look past it, I think you'll find some helpful nuggets of wisdom; and Bobby Shaw doesn't disappoint with his stories of growing Chipotle, how he thinks about culture, and other game-changing strategies for restaurants.

Much thanks to Bobby for sending me a recording from his show. Enjoy, and let me know what you think about it.
