Have you ever been captivated by a simple tale? That's what struck me about today's YouTube creators—they're not relying on over-the-top editing, but storytelling. It's not about bombarding viewers with facts; it's about the journey, the personal twists and nuances that make their content sing. Inspired by Rick Rubin's "The Creative Act: A Way of Being," I've had an epiphany about content creation. Let's talk about the pressures of delivering value-packed content and how a shift to authenticity can not only change our work but also how we connect with our audience on a deeper level.

During this episode, I open up about my own struggles to follow a formula that didn't fit me.

And, as I peel back the layers on my content creation process, I reveal how I've made a pivot, turning away from a prescriptive approach to embrace my unique voice and experiences. If you're curious about how letting go of conventional wisdom can reignite your passion and perhaps lead to more impactful content, then this conversation is tailor-made for you. Let's explore together the transformative power of narrative in content creation.

As entrepreneurs, we can turn anything into a diamond, and finding the balance between preparedness, effective communication, collaboration, and leading in our creative zone is critical to our success. We have to be adaptable to lead effectively, and this starts by understanding our audience while still focusing on our leadership strategies and the new things we want to bring into our business. Leadership is not about giving and asking to get results. It's about finding a balance between how much we give to our team and enhancing meritocracy. When we are not using the right language to help us unlock the action we are looking for, we switch off. To be effective as a leader, you have to get away from assumptions and communicate in a style that people understand while balancing empathy, collaboration, and management to give everyone an equal opportunity to win.

One of the main reasons why we get so anxious when presenting to an audience is that we feel the sensation of eyes watching us, and we feel very exposed. This creates a self-focused experience of thought processes like “do they like,” I’m going to make a mistake,” and “what is everyone thinking of me.” The experience focuses on the eyes that are watching you, which is not what you want to be doing when trying to help an audience. What you want to be doing is focusing on your audience because they are the ones who need your information. As a presenter, you are non-important. You’re there to give to provide a solution to a problem. Shifting your brain from performance to helping mode enables you to harness your generosity. Learn how to shift your energy from what people are thinking about you to how you can help the people in the room, and you will be a better speaker.

Join the conversation with Sarah Gershman as he shares more about how you can reframe and overcome anxiety in presentations and make public speaking more fun and engaging through storytelling, even in technical fields, to create human connections and get people to be excited by your ideas. Sara is a professional speaker and has spent the last 15 years coaching global executives in dozens of industries, whether preparing for a keynote address, briefing senior officials, or pitching a product. Sarah helps leaders find their core message and make that message stick. She works with executives in national organizations, companies, government agencies, and nonprofits.

We're living in a culture of busyness, and it's easy to go through life without thinking about who we are and what we stand for. So many of us don’t take the time to determine how we want to show up in life. We go by the flow and often use our feeling to determine the direction we want to move, ultimately blocking our true identity and success. Who we were yesterday and what we have become today can create an ego that keeps us stuck in the past and prevent us from seeing the future. We have the power and choice to determine the identity we want to live by without holding on to yesterday.

**Sometimes we need to get out of our comfort zone and get exposure to see what is possible on our path. So many of us are stuck in our job because we got a degree that got us a job, and we built our whole life on that job, how much money we make, what we do, the vacations we get, and where we live. Building your path to freedom starts by figuring out what you want and doing the things that produce what you want. When you figure out what you want, a life bomb goes off in you, creating light from within. Stop seeking your future or purpose from others. You have a better answer inside you for everything you want in your life. Your future, your purpose, and the answers you’re seeking are not outside or ahead of you. They are within you.

The only place we get stuck is in our mindset because we’re the only ones that stop us from making progress. When we get caught in negative thoughts, tunnel vision, or a victim mindset, we can’t see what other people can see, and sometimes our situation is not as bad as we think. As entrepreneurs, we’ve to change our thoughts and perceptions to change our situation. Nothing changes if nothing changes, but sometimes when one thing changes, everything changes, and usually, that’s the perception of a situation. The common denominator to your success is you, and you have to take responsibility to change your thoughts to change your situation. If you persist in staying in a negative situation, it will persist until you make the decision to move.
Join the conversation with Will Everette as he shares about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and how you can leverage them as an entrepreneur to take control of your thoughts, change how you feel, and be more in control of your behaviors to tap into more of what you want and remove friction from your path to success. Will is a clinical hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, CBT practitioner, mental health 1st Aider, and personal trainer. Will provides internal and external coaching to help people maximize their potential, take control of their lives, and feel their best in their minds, body, and soul.

As entrepreneurs, we need to generate opportunities in our businesses to get more clients, but when something goes wrong, we often blame ourselves. We use “I’M” phrases such as I’m a failure, I’m so stupid, I’m not smart, etc., that become self-fulfilling prophecies of things not going well. We all do affirmations whether we know it or not, and often, it is usually the wrong affirmations, affirming what we don't want. We manifest through our affirmations, and whether they are positive or negative, they are the base of our results. To help us be more successful, NLP helps us become aware of what we’re doing to make the right choices and shift from victim energy to power and abundance that enables us to see possibilities.

Belief comes from doing difficult things. The more you do things you didn’t think you could do, the more belief you cultivate. If you’ve something hard in front of you, saying no to it reinforces the belief you can’t do something like that. However, every time you say yes to doing something, you reinforce a new belief of capability. Cultivating your belief is also not a one-off moment. It’s an everyday battle for everything. It starts with recognizing where you are struggling and engineering your environment to surround yourself with people who can motivate and push you toward your goal. Self-belief, self-confidence, self-respect, and self-love come from making things happen and showing up. It will suck at first, but it’s not about how well you do it. It’s how you show up.

Getting stuck in a job because it’s paying your bills and giving up on your dream can be difficult to navigate. It doesn’t matter how good you are at your job. If you feel disconnected, you need to elucidate what you really want. Don’t allow the fear of “what ifs” to make you abandon your dream, take a step forward, get more clarity about what you want, and you will make progress. When we lack clarity about who we are and what fuels us, we allow external influences to determine our destiny. This is like driving in a mist; it will slow us down and get us stuck in life. Doing the inner work and getting clear on what you want will help lift the mist, see where you are going, and open a highway to get where you want to be. In this episode, Chris Strouthopoulos will teach how to niche down, reignite your passion, and get aligned with your purpose to do the impossible, bring transformation and live a fulfilling life.

Chris is the founder of Ascent Empowerment Coaching, a riveting speaker, a creative presenter, and an award-winning college professor. He’s a passionate advocate for personal and professional growth, and he spent years studying psychology, picking performance, and helping others overcome fear and achieve success. Chris has developed simple, repeatable systems to help men shed false identities, overcome limitations and live with passion and joy. He has also helped people from entrepreneurs and c-suite executives to high school science teachers reconnect to their purpose, reignite their fire from years ago, and 10x their impact.

**Saying yes to outrageous means stepping out of your comfort zone and getting your talent and gifts out there. We all have important messages. We’re here on earth for a purpose, and the most significant discovery we can make is discovering our purpose. Our gifts and talents are connected to our purpose, but society tends to value a paying job more than what we are passionate about. Most of us grow up believing that our purpose is to get a good job and make money, and when we break away, we carry the limiting beliefs with us. These messages often create limiting beliefs that stop us from fully living, experiencing the richness of life, and reaching our full potential. However, everything changes once we’re connected to our inner self, purpose, and message that resonates, vibrates, and excites us. That is the kind of message we’re supposed to convey, and we’ve to stop those limiting beliefs that stop us from being out there in the world.

There is a lot that goes into sales that isn’t just marketing, and branding is a key component of any successful sales strategy. As salespeople, we focus so much on pitching our product, which gets our prospects into a defensive response. This makes branding very important in your marketing strategy. Branding and marketing are not synonymous. Marketing focuses on product and service, while branding combines everything that is core to your business, including experience, your reputation, why people should care about you, and why they should view you as an authority figure. It helps people understand your business and creates curiosity about how you can help them solve problems and the type of transformation they should expect.
Join the conversation with Mike Grise as he shares more about branding, why it’s essential, and branding strategies that can help you differentiate and stand out from your competition. Mike is a sales and branding strategist who has been in sales for a long time in many different capacities. Mike's first gig was in personal training, selling training sessions, gym membership, and more. He then shifted to the technology space and got introduced to products, management, product marketing, and branding, which ties to overall sales strategy. If you feel like you’re not making as much as you could and feel lost, this episode is for you!

During this episode, you will learn about;

Most of us, as entrepreneurs, believe that we must be good at everything to succeed, which is a big misconception. It’s essential to identify your talent and what you’re good at, and the moment you begin to vocalize it, you start to operate in your genius and stop trying to be more than what you need to be. Your talent dictates how you show up, not just in your life but also in your business. The clear you get on what you are good at, the better you are able to maximize your skills and be effective in what you do. Accepting that you are good at some things and not good at others and being okay with that is imperative in growing your business. It will help you shift your perspective and understand how you can leverage what you’re good at to bring more efficiency and success on your path.

Join the conversation with Jesse Hopkins as he shares more on how to stay in your zone of genius and build a team that stays in theirs to make an impact and grow faster.

So many companies have created a data and dashboard-driven environment where conversations are deals and outcome-driven. They just manage the sales process, focus on numbers, and don’t coach the salespeople. They don’t offer leadership development programs and coaching programs to teach salespeople to get into the weeds to help people reach their potential or get something out of them. Building a high-performing sales team calls for collaboration, every conversation with the employees should be a collaboration of where they are coming from, where they want to go and how you can help each other get there. If you’re just looking at numbers and metrics, you are likely to be micromanaging your sales team and not coaching them. Collaboration will help build relationships, beat ego and avoid micromanagement. It provides an open door for conversations and communication with your sales team, helps build a culture where you are open to needs, criticism, and feedback, and allows you to set and show expectations.

Join the conversation with Kyle Brewer as he shares more about sales, how to develop a coaching culture, and build high-performing sales teams to increase sales. Kyle is an experienced sales manager with a demonstrated history of working in the information technology and services industry. Skilled in Negotiation, Operations Management, Sales, Management, and Software as a Service (SaaS). He is also a strong business development professional who is successful in starting and building sales teams. His mission is to help sales leaders build and develop high-performing teams. Focus on REP and LEADER development for maximum impact on business results

Notable Quotes

  • We need to shift our mindset from the old-school way of thinking and stop seeing salespeople as numbers that need to perform and get better to keep their jobs.
  • Most companies don’t have a coaching culture. They have created a data and dashboard-driven environment where conversations are deals and outcome-driven.
  • As a sales manager, you have to know when you are setting expectations and when you need to show expectations.
  • If you teach somebody to think for themselves, they will automatically start using those skills in each situation they come across.
  • It’s okay to struggle; it’s okay to fail; it’s okay to chip away for some time from a problem.
  • The expectation that salespeople need to be driving numbers is not fair if they’re not coached properly, given all the tools, and put in a position where they can be successful.
  • If we get people to master the skillset and take the joy out of getting better every single day, the sales will increase.
  • If you are so focused on the outcome or making sales, you’re not developing sales skill sets, and this is the reason why so many people don’t last so long.
  • People change; how people bought yesterday is not how they will buy today, So you can rely solely on what worked yesterday to be effective today and in the future.

How To Use Energy Fields To Manifest Your Success with Aleya Dao

We all have energy fields, but most of us don't even realize that we have energetic fields that have the ability to shift our consciousness, how we feel, our emotions, and our behaviors. We were not taught in preschool or 2nd grade how to use our energy fields. And so many of us are unconsciously walking around with these energetic fields without informing, directing, or controlling them and unconsciously connecting with things and people. As a salesperson or a business owner, you have to be more mindful of what you are doing in your energetic fields. What you hold in your energy fields creates what happens in the emotional, mental, and physical fields. We also feel other people’s energy, and they feel and connect with our energy, and learning how to unpack what is going on is huge.

Join the conversation with Aleya Dao as she shares about the energy field and how we can become more aware of them and use them to manifest success in our businesses. Aleya has been in the alternative medicine space for the last 30 years. She started as a massage therapist, then became a Reiki master, and later got into intuitive work.
