Show notes

How do you stand out when everyone in your line of work pretty much follows the same advice and does things the same way? What if you were able to get awesome inspiration from a totally unexpected source?

The music business!

Here’s the thing: A copycat never builds a blockbuster business. What David Hooper, today’s podversation guest, has to share about the music industry and marketing will give you a completely fresh perspective on your business.

Hooper is widely known for helping musicians create six-figure incomes. I wish everyone could hear his perspective on the vibrations of money and the power of charitable giving.

The Secret to Charging What You Want | Ep. 42 Jun 29, 2015

Show notes

Some businesses charge premium prices and have customers clamoring. Others charge very little and barely attract any customers at all. What’s the deal?

Way too many entrepreneurs dream of achieving the status and success of Apple, but they use strategies more like Radioshack.

Today’s episode will help you avoid being one of THOSE business owners.

I’m going to share three top approaches to developing a high-end, much-in-demand service or product—so you can charge what you want, and get it.

You Are Not In The Business You Think You're In | Ep. 41 Jun 26, 2015

Show notes

You may not actually be in the business you think you’re in. How do you find out?

Being confused about what business you are really in is a common business mistake. And most entrepreneurs really are confused about it. Dispersing the fog around it can mean the difference between closing shop and having a thriving business for decades.

You’ll understand this perfectly once you hear why Starbucks isn’t in the business of making coffee.

And you’ll see how important this is as I help an audience member discover her true business so she can take her consulting practice to the next level.

Incredible Money Breakthroughs with Joan Sotkin | Ep. 40 Jun 24, 2015

Show notes

There are five basic human emotions business owners have around money that keep them stuck under-earning and definitely under-performing. Once you know what these emotions are and how to move through them, you can generate money more easily and define “success” on your own terms.

Today’s podversation guest, Joan Sotkin, went from having a thriving business selling crystals to bankruptcy to then becoming a foremost expert on making and managing money. Out of her experience, she created an easy-to-understand system to release negative thoughts and emotions about money.

I love her mission of helping business owners go from a contracted state to an expansive one around cash flow.

Just one tip on what to ask yourself whenever you face an obstacle in life can change everything!

Why Going Against the Grain Is the Way to Go | Ep. 39 Jun 22, 2015

Show notes

You’ve always heard, “don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” But guess what? That approach could be stifling your business and making your life way harder than it should be. In today’s episode, you’ll find out why the real secret to success is going “all in!”

It’s human nature to always want a plan B or an escape hatch. That approach used to drive me to pursue way too many interests.

It took me a while, but I finally caught on that busyness isn’t a winning strategy for business (or life for that matter).

So I stopped listening to the age-old advice, and miraculous things happened. I went from being broke and frustrated to thriving and loving it.

You can too, but you just might need to listen to this episode of the Big Shift.

Do Your Choices Set You Free or Keep You In Prison? | Ep. 38 Jun 19, 2015

Do you ever agonize over what to do, second guess what you want, or take on so much that you’re not fully present for any of it? These are all symptoms of having too many choices, and I’m going to share a simple solution.

In today’s episode, you’ll discover how making fewer decisions—and making the ones you need to make quickly, with little effort—can greatly enhance your success.

You Are Not A Statistic | Ep. 36 Jun 15, 2015

Show notes

Would you like to know something all rock star entrepreneurs have in common?

They don’t believe every statistic they hear.

I’m talking about those really discouraging numbers we’re always hearing, like “two out of three business fail in the first five years” and “only 6% of small business owners make over six figures.”

This kind of bad news can tempt you to put your dreams back on the shelf and just go get a job.

STOP, DON’T DO THAT!

You were put on this earth to forge your own path and to achieve great things. You are not here to be a statistic.

Sure, listening to the numbers may seem reasonable. But today, you’re going to find out why following your heart—not numbers—is the most reasonable thing you can do.

Show notes

Meet Nick Unsworth, serial entrepreneur and founder of Life on Fire. Besides being phenomenally successful online and as a social media expert, Nick is simply the “nicest guy ever.” Can you be nice and super successful? Are those two traits mutually exclusive?

In this podversation, Nick candidly tells us his philosophy behind his success and his happiness: “My life’s mission was to find my passion and do what I love. I decided to start a business I just enjoy.”

I get up close and personal with Nick to find out what it took to take his life from the brink of destruction to the halls of success. We even talk about how he proposed to his newfound love, Megan. It’s a pretty awesome story that I can’t get enough of.

Nick and I delve into ways to truly embrace your fear and what it takes to start trusting your intuition once and for all.

I love Nick (yes, it’s a bromance) and you will, too.
