Side Hustle Millionaire (Tony Whatley) Apr 01, 2019

Show notes

Have you ever wanted to start a business but weren’t sure what you were passionate about? Maybe you had an idea to pursue something great but never stepped up because you were afraid of what the critics might say. For most of us, it is easier to play small because we aren’t having to sacrifice our time and energy towards something that may or may not be successful in the long run. But when it comes to time and dedication, we are capable of so much more than what we give ourselves credit for.

Our guest this week, author and entrepreneur, Tony Whatley, shares his experiences of starting businesses and showing up, even when times get hard. Tony tells us that when we play small or allow self-limiting beliefs to take over our mindset, we lose the ability to show up in our businesses. When money becomes our end-goal, we aren’t able to keep going because we lack the purpose and passion for our endeavors. During our conversation, Tony explains that when we begin to get vulnerable and uncomfortable within our businesses, we are setting ourselves up for success. Most of the time we fear stepping out of our comfort zones because what we desperately desire is on the other side of our comfort levels.

Topics Discussed:

How to conquer the employee mindset
Why we need to show up sooner in our endeavors
How to change self-limiting beliefs around money
Why we need to surround ourselves with successful people
How passion, purpose, and expertise can create a successful business
Why being shy isn’t an excuse for chasing your goals
How motivation shouldn’t stop you from showing up every day

Bryan Elliott |The Power in Sharing Your Story Mar 25, 2019

Show notes

Do you struggle with wanting to connect with your audience but don’t know how? Maybe you have a story to tell the world but you fear rejection. Maybe you are afraid of having open and honest conversations because it’s hard to be vulnerable with strangers online. The truth is, there is power in sharing your story with others. Not only does it get easier to share the hard trials of heartache and brokenness, but sharing your story with others gives them permission to share their story. Your vulnerability could help someone share their story of growth and triumph.

Our guest this week, director and producer, Bryan Elliot, shares with us his adoption story and why it is important to have open and honest conversations. Bryan tells us that when we are able to share our stories with other people, we are able to connect on a deeper level.

But, when we allow ourselves to step out of our comfort zones and dig a little deeper, that is where the magic happens.

Topics Discussed:

How to fail better
Why we need to have more open and honest conversations
How to connect with others through storytelling
Why we need to always try new things

How to Self-Publish a Best-Selling Book with Laura Petersen Mar 20, 2019

Show notes

Do you ever feel the need to play small in fear of what other people might think of you? Have a great book idea but you fear rejection or not being heard by the public? Maybe you have a successful side business but you are afraid of what other people might think of you dared to dream bigger? The truth is, we all have something great inside of us, but a lot of times we are afraid of being rejected or misunderstood so we play it safe.

Our guest this week, self-published best selling author, Laura Petersen explains that if you have a great idea for a book or want to take your business to the next level, playing small only hurts you in the long run. According to Laura, the number of book sales you have or the amount of zeros you have in your bank account shouldn’t be a factor in your success or happiness. If you love what you do and thoroughly enjoy working towards your dreams, we don’t have to always take things so seriously. Laura helps us understand the bigger picture of our dreams and how not to get caught up on the small details.
