118: Dan Miller - From Day Job To Passionate Work Jan 12, 2018

Show notes

“Next time you meet someone, try asking: ‘How are you making the world a better place?’ Rather than the normal ‘What do you do?’.”

“That beautiful blend, that convergence of money, talent, and passion.”

“You can’t pretend to be something and do a good job in doing it. You have to find that authentic place to really do well, what you’re doing.”

“I was raised in an environment where your word is your bond. If your word isn’t any good, dig a hole and push me in, I’m done.”

“Any healthy organization has change. There’s no healthy organization that is stagnant. If it is, then it starts to deteriorate. So, change is evidence of growth. Change is evidence of being alive.”

“If somebody stays with you out of a sense of obligation, you’ll both end up resenting it.”

“Continual learning is the key to continual living. If you stop learning, you have effectively stopped living.”

“I don’t recoil from fear…I don’t mind fear being in the presence. If I’m going to go on a trip, I want fear to be in the back seat, not in the driver’s seat.”

“Be different. Don’t worry about being first…be different.”

“It’s never too late to have a new beginning.”

115: Mike Michalowicz - Gain The Freedom That Is Profit First Jan 01, 2018

Show notes

115: Mike Michalowicz –

“I’m a huge fan of fear…I believe that anyone who starts a business, embrace the fear. Don’t live in it. Because over time it brings about stress. But fear will wake you up at 5 in the morning and it will have you working until 5 the next morning.”

“It’s very hard to remember specific conversations, all we remember is emotion… So a lot of the stuff that we experience is instantly forgotten, it’s just the end of emotion”

“[Unlike on shows like Shark Tank and The Profit] The reality is that 99.9% of businesses never get an investment outside of the founders and the family.”

“You must find the profit within yourself! And that’s my investment, giving them the knowledge and the mentorship, but not the money. Seeking someone else to save us is the fallacy of so many businesses and I see it now more than ever.”

“The Profit First Formula is really simple: Sales-Profit=Expenses”

“Profit isn’t the whole focus [of my business] it’s the first focus…Profit is the foundation of a healthy business.”

“Successful people don’t look for other’s approval in their success and therefore don’t need to show it off.”

“There’s a truism of life in poker. When someone starts bluffing, that means they have a weak hand.”

113: Jared Angaza - The Future Of Branding Dec 21, 2017

Show notes

“If you want people to come to you as a coach, if you want them to come to you to buy this product… you have to understand what they’re motivated by, you have to understand the way their mind works.”

“Today, a brand is a crafted experience. It is a language that you speak…it is a relationship that hopefully leads to an audience that are going to be your brand ambassadors.”

“You don’t have to have a brand to have a successful business….but if you want to create an Apple type of experience, [then you’re going to need a specific and concise message].”

“How people do anything is how they do everything.”

Jared’s formula for how to find your why: “Imagine that years from now you’re business is wildly successful and the news is interviewing you because you’re such a big success. What are you telling them? What’s happened there? What’s the brand culture like? The family that runs it? The staff that runs it? What do people experience? Are they happy?...What do you want your impact to be?”

“Branding, in general, has a lot to do with care. Period.”

“If you want to create a great brand, build it in hopes of creating that experience every time for the customer.”

“You don’t even get a seat at the table. You have to create attention first…How do [you] get people’s attention, hold it, and then (here’s the clincher) do something good with it?”

“People will forget the things that you did. They’ll forget the things that you said. But they’ll always remember the way that you made them feel. Maya Angelou.”

112: Barry Moltz - Quick Ways To Get Unstuck Dec 18, 2017

Show notes

“The biggest problem people have is that they only do marketing when they have no sales. And then as soon as they have sales, they get busy and they stop doing marketing. You have to put together some kind of systematic marketing process where you’re always doing marketing even when you’re busy with sales so your pipeline always stays full.”

“A lot of folks want to build this great product and then think if I build this great product [customers] will come…it just doesn’t happen. You have to go to customers and see if they’ll actually buy something…I try to convince a customer to buy something first and then I’ll build it.”

The ABC Strategy from Barry’s new book Small Business Hacks: 100 Shortcuts To Success - How to get a potential client to respond to your emails:

“Please respond A, B, or C. A – I’m busy, please get back to me in a month. B – I’m no longer interested. C – Call me right away.”

“What small business owners are really bad at is figuring out how much cash they have on hand.”

“Your small business plan should fit on the back of a napkin. You should be able to summarize what your business is all about, what pain you solve, and who you solve that pain for…because people will pay more for painkillers than they will for vitamins.”

“Somewhere along the line, the universe tells you that you have to reinvent yourself, because what you’ve been doing for a really long time isn’t working.”
