Hey Hey, This one is a goodie but it sounds like a Barf-But-True episode......It's not! Check it out!

This is NOT a highlight real. I don't want to do anything today and I talk about how I get through days like today. 

It's my anniversary and I'm discussing everything we've gone through in the last 5 years...and it's a lot. This episode is a good backstory telling the how and why I'm here today.

This is a continuation from yesterdays podcast. It breaks down how to simplify your entire sales process and how it allows you to  check and perfect each area. You'll be able to see where your customers or clients lose interest in your process so you can fix it.

Everybody jumps to websites right away when starting a business. This episode explains why that is not good use of your time and how you need to change your thinking to be successful online.

The an art and science when it comes to presenting your product or service. This wraps up this 3 part series on putting your offer together.

Your  customer's/client.s opinion of your product or service's value to him or her has little or nothing to do with the product's cost to create, market price, and depends on the product's ability to satisfy his or her needs or requirements. Creating an offer with the most perceived value is HUGE!

This is a lesson not everyone learns. Most people have an idea and start building from the beginning and then end up in a place they don't won't to be. Like having a business that can't support them. This is a great piece of advice.

Today I tell a story of when I found salmon trying to swim up river but ended up stuck and trying to swim through rocks and how you need to be aware of what you're doing and not to be these salmon. Just listen it's a good one :) 

After reaching out to 12 million people last week via Facebook ads and 1 person signed up. This episode goes in to the process of marketing and what may current strategy is. This was just a starting point.

I'm stuck and want to talk about it. As I've said before I don't want this to be a highlight real. Struggle is part of the process. This current struggle is about figuring out how to be the biggest in a category. 

In this episode I go in to the process of how I generated a million in business in one week. 

"I've got this great idea! It's never been done before..." Worst statement ever. Not ever but it's not ideal. This episode goes in to how competition can make your life easier and you do want a certain level of it.

A powerful and valuable person in a company is the intrapreneur. In this episode I unintentionally end up in a great discussion. A must listen. 

Expressing my frustration on dealing with a social media manager who doesn't get it. Please don't be this person!

This is a painful one. Other perceptive on the importance of understanding your market. The unfortunate part here is I already knew the importance but the person who owed me money didn't.

Please don't take that the wrong way but it's true. At least when it comes to your clients or those you work for. This is the first secret of a 3 part presentation titled The 3 Biggest Mistakes Most New Entrepreneurs Make. Check it out so you don't make them...
