“Just tell yourself not to be depressed!” Today's guest Ted Clouser used to think this way, but was able to draw closer to God as he experienced depression for the first time.

Mike’s Bio:

My name is Mike. And I wouldn’t be here today if not for the wisdom my mom taught me.My mom was a superhero in my eyes. No matter what was happening in my life (or hers) she was always there to lift me up, inspire me to keep going and to always lean into my strengths.I was an overweight teen who made the varsity basketball team and my mom used to cheer me on from the stands with encouragement to “use your strength, Mikey!”. I didn’t understand it then. I do now.

See, my mom was diagnosed with cancer when I was in high school. She radiated love, positivity and empowerment. No matter what was happening, she would always make you feel like the most important person in the room when you spoke. It was a gift. A blessing. When I went to college in Florida my mom got sick again and I had to race home to her bedside. I didn’t know if I would make it but at the last moment, I did. Tears streamed down my face saying goodbye that day. A mark and impression left. Mom waited for me to be by her side before she passed.

I didn’t know it then, but I do now. Mom was the one who taught me the strength to fight. The strength to let go and the ability to know when each is needed. After her death, I embraced those strengths. I became the District Executive for Vector Marketing, founder of PB&J for Tampa Bay, and the Founder of G.R.A.B. Tomorrow

I travel the world helping individuals unlock more of their potential. Their own unique strengths. To not allow your greatest insecurities to define you but rather to inspire others and use them as the superpowers they really are. I have been blessed to have trained 4000 individuals to sell $14M in company products, launched a passion project to provide 80,000 meals, self published 9 books on various personal development topics, and be a top-0.5% producer out of 2M sales reps in the 40 year history of the company.

My career, commitment and purpose is helping people open their mindsets to what’s possible when they fully commit to creating a strong foundation for their lives through tiny actions daily

Who do you spend the majority of your time with? Do their values, align with yours? Are they heading in the same direction that you want to be going? Have they accomplished things that you would like to do someday? Today’s guest Stephen Woessner opens up about just how important this is. How the people and things that surround your life, truly make a difference in the trajectory of your goals.

How Stephen grounds himself (12:05)

Your greater story. (17:49)

Who you spend time with, matters. (31:31)

Stephen’s Bio:

For nearly two decades, Stephen Woessner has been in the trenches consulting with hundreds of clients and teaching them how to leverage Web 2.0 tactics like search engine optimization (SEO) and social media to expand into new markets, introduce new products, decrease costs, and increase revenues. Woessner is a leading Web 2.0 authority, bestselling author, and instructor at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Small Business Development Center.

Woessner is also a business owner and has made costly mistakes along the way. He built one of his previous companies up to a valuation of $10 million and was planning an initial public offering. However, he lost millions when the dot com bubble imploded. This expensive lesson taught Woessner the valuable principle of always measuring the return on investment (ROI) before any action is taken.

These lessons formed the foundation of his latest company, Predictive ROI. The company is based on a trademarked Web 2.0 method developed by Woessner. Instead of focusing on increasing traffic to a company’s website, Predictive ROI increases the right traffic...the traffic that provides the lowest bounce rate, the traffic that increases conversions...and Predictive ROI measures the increases in traffic and conversions before a single optimized content page is ever created. For example, the social networking aspect of Predictive ROI can increase website traffic by 23 percent and conversion rates by 780 percent.

Woessner’s practical and tactical training sessions and keynote presentations are exactly aligned with this ROI principle. Attendees have commented that the most valuable benefit is that his processes empower executives, business owners, and managers so they can implement the steps and action plan themselves without needing technical skills.

Woessner has been quoted in Inc. Magazine, E-commerce Times, B-to-B Online Magazine, Counselor Magazine, The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Wisconsin Public Radio, and other media for his Web 2.0 insights. He frequently teaches training sessions throughout the University of Wisconsin system including the prestigious UW-Madison School of Business.

Woessner is a bestselling author. His first book is entitled The Small Business Owner’s Handbook to Search Engine Optimization. The book has been ranked as high as #3 on Amazon.com United States, #1 on Amazon.com United Kingdom, and #16 on Amazon.com France for its category. His second book is entitled Increase Online Sales through Viral Social Networking and was released in March. He is currently writing his third book.

Woessner earned his MBA and Bachelor of Science in marketing from UW-La Crosse. Woessner is also a graduate of Black Hills State University and the Community College of the Air Force. He lives in La Crosse, Wisconsin with his wife and daughter.
