Are you looking to accomplish more and see bigger results in your personal life and business, but in less time? This is something that I’ve really been working on since the birth of my daughter, which is why I was looking forward to bringing Neill Williams on to the podcast to talk about how it can actually be done. Neill is “The Feel Better Coach” and a member of my Accelerator Mastermind, and she recently presented some amazing strategies and tips to the rest of the group at our recent retreat, which you’ll hear in this episode.Neil is a certified life coach, mom and wife, and in addition to building her business she still is an employee in the corporate world. Neill is a high-achieving person, but was finding it hard to get all the things she needed to do done. She did eventually figure out the way to get the life she wanted, while taking care of herself in the process, and what she talks about here is a real eye-opener.In this episode Neill reveals what her life looks like now, including what she does to

Today’s guest is an Accelerator Mastermind member who has come a long way in her business in a relatively short amount of time, and I’ve really wanted to introduce you to her. Ashley Shaw helps top-tier social sellers and entrepreneurs eliminate the overwhelm in their marketing efforts so they can have the business of their dreams, and doesn’t just show others how to do this, she has taken the actions to create this reality in her own life.In this episode you’ll hear all about how Ashley’s background has contributed to where she is today, including her first real sales experience selling $1,200 knife sets, her 16 years of fitness and sales experience and her time climbing the corporate ladder to the top of an organization.Ashley loves teaching others and understanding how to move people to action, and she reveals something I didn’t know in this episode, that she actually has an English Literature degree she now uses in her work creating content and emails for herself and her clients.You’ll hear what led Ashle

My guest today is my good friend Greg Hickman, who is the founder and CEO of System.ly. Their mission is to enable and support entrepreneurs to amplify their best so they can spend their time on the things that matter most. Why I really wanted to have Greg on the show today is because a couple months ago he posted something on his Facebook page that really caught my eye, and it’s something that I’ve felt and experienced in the recent past.Today you’ll hear me read Greg’s entire post, and what he said is something that doesn’t get talked about enough. This is a wide-ranging conversation on what it’s really like to build and grow an online business, and we reveal it all in this episode.We talk about things like why’s it’s actually ok to feel overwhelmed, and how the problems and challenges that you face in business won’t magically disappear as you grow your business.Greg shares what happens when you let someone else’s definition of a “successful” business guide your actions, and how you don’t always need to be

Regular listeners of the podcast will know that I’ve been on a journey to discover more about how success comes from taking an inside-out approach, which is why I’m so excited to geek out with today’s guest. My friend Dr. Shannon Irvine helps entrepreneurs train their brains to transform their businesses, and it may take listening to this episode a couple of times to really grasp what she reveals here, but trust me, it’ll be worth it.As you’ll hear, Shannon is the ideal person to have this discussion with. As she earned her PhD, she discovered that our brains are able to change, and that we can actually hardwire new ways of thinking, acting, and being. When she dug into this internal work and combined it with the strategies she had been relying on for years, she was finally able to integrate her life and her business. She now is able to take time away to spend with her kids, increase her impact through my nonprofit, Mosaic Vision, and grow her revenue.The best part is that it’s not that difficult to remove th

Today you’re going to hear a conversation that I had with my very good friend Mel Abraham, and this might be the most important podcast interview I’ve ever done. I’ve known Mel for several years now and he’s a brilliant entrepreneur, amazing person and mentor to me on so many different levels. Not only is Mel a CPA with multiple online businesses, a best-seller author, a coach and a consultant, but he’s so much more. Although Mel is an expert in entrepreneurial finances and building wealth, in this episode he’s focusing on something that he hasn’t really talked about publicly before – how he’s beating cancer.I recently invited Mel to speak to my Accelerator Mastermind group at our retreat in San Diego, and a few minutes before he was set to start I asked him if he would be willing to talk about everything he’s gone through recently with his health, and the lessons that he’s learned along the way.Mel and I often discuss business and life, and one of the things that has impacted me the most is how he’s rebalanc

This past August I was a guest on my friend Amy Porterfield’s Marketing Made Easy podcast, where I discussed 3 different strategies (plus a bonus!) for using Facebook ads in your pre-launch, or that crucial 60 to 90 days timeframe leading up to cart open. I wanted to share part of this conversation with Amy here today, because we covered a lot of things that could not only help you launch, but also build your email list year round, lower your ad costs, and a whole lot more.You’ll hear actual strategies that both Amy and I have used in our businesses to make the best use of this critical pre-launch phase, including some beginner and advanced strategies for you to try implementing in your own business. What Amy and I talk about in this episode isn’t rocket science. It’s really all about focusing on the basics when it comes to running Facebook ads and launching your new course or program. The people who are willing to be patient and that stick with these basic principles are the ones who will be rewarded in the

Today I want to take you through an exercise that can drastically improve the results you’re getting with your Facebook and Instagram ads. This is an exercise that I’ve gone through with quite a few people in the trainings that I do, including at a recent live retreat for my Accelerator Mastermind - and it blew them away!This exercise is really the upfront work that you need to be doing before you even open Facebook Ads Manager to set up your ads, but I still see so many people not taking the time to do this. What I’m talking about today has everything to do with your target audience and fully understanding them. Yes, your ideal customer avatar is important, but when it comes to running ads you need to take it a step further and learn how to effectively subsegment your ideal customer. If you’re already doing something like this in your business, or you implement what I share in this episode, let me know over on Instagram, @rickmulready!Before we start the show, I’ve got something to ask.

Last year I was looking for a new way to launch my Facebook Ad Manager program, and I just didn’t feel like doing a webinar launch, even though it’s something I like to do and have had lots of success with. In the past I’ve also used a traditional video series to launch, where I scripted and recorded the vidoes over the course of a few weeks, but to be honest I could not have hated that process more (even though it was effective and we helped a lot of people with it)! So I decided to combine these two types of launches last year, but with a twist. I created what I call the LiveStream Launch Formula, which I will be sharing with you today.The first time I used the LiveStream Launch Formula in early 2018 it was so successful, and I had so much fun, that I just knew I had to try it again late last year. Both of these launches ended up being some of the biggest ones I’ve ever had, so today I wanted to teach you how you can use the LiveStream Launch Formula in your own business.In this episode I’m going to share t

You’ve likely heard the concept of building the “know-like-trust” factor in order to convert leads into sales. As a business owner you have to have some sort of strategy for getting someone from the place of not even knowing who you are, to becoming a paying customer. Understanding your customer journey is critical for your business, which is why I wanted to talk about it today.This is something I recently took my October mastermind group through, and it opened up a lot of eyes… Frankly, the customer journey isn’t something that a lot of people teach, but I can tell you that it is a major reason why people aren’t converting leads to sales in their businesses.On this episode I’m going to break it all down for you and simplify everything, and after listening, you’ll see why your offer most likely isn’t the problem if you’re having trouble getting sales. What I share with you today will help give you better understanding of your customer’s journey, and why it’s so important to your success!Before we start the sh

Today’s strategy session is with Amanda Genther, who is best known for creating custom sales page design for people launching online courses, membership sites, higher-ticket group coaching and mastermind groups. Amanda is in a bit of a transition phase, as she’s trying to decide which direction to go in next in her business. As you’ll hear in this episode, she’s got no shortage of options to consider!Amanda breaks down each of the paths she could go take next, including focusing a course that she’s launched in the past, growing her membership site, restarting her “done-for-you” services work with individual clients, and she has even thought about designing templates for her clients.Of all of the options that Amanda is considering, there are definitely ones that I like better than the others, and I give her my thoughts on each. One of the options is something that could be considered “easy money”, but it’s not what is going to move the needle for what Amanda really wants to do long-term, so I share with her wh
