In this episode, you'll gain amazing new insights as you listen to my 90-minute live coaching session with Andrea. Together, we dive deep into transforming her limiting beliefs, setting a vision for her ideal future, and outlining actionable next steps.
Andrea shares her desire to shift from survival mode—working multiple jobs—to having more freedom, self-care, and the ability to serve others in a profound way. We explore techniques such as scripting, visualization, and transformative language to align her mindset with her goals.
Some key highlights include:
- The uplifting effects of focusing on what you want to lift your emotional state and consciousness.
- The power of the "Dream Machine," and how it aids in achieving your goals.
- How dreaming can open you up to hearing that "inner voice."
- Transitioning from "faking it" to truly embodying desired states of being.
- The art of using transformative language to enhance your life.
- Practical steps that Andrea can take over the next 3-6 months to continue her transformation.
Andrea walks away with greater clarity and several commitments to continue raising her mindset and energy. Whether you're working on your own growth or supporting others in their journeys, I hope this real coaching case study provides you with ideas and encouragement to pursue your biggest dreams!

I recently published episode 705 of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show where I invited my great friend, Megan Porta, to have a conversation about our experiences with manifesting success and turning our dreams into reality. We included "The Law of Attraction" in the title.
The feedback that has come in from that episode has been incredible. Most of the feedback was along the lines of surprise that I, Cliff Ravenscraft, am a strong believer in "The Law of Attraction." One person wrote that she was blown away when she heard that I enjoy the teachings of Abraham Hicks, telling me that she, herself, has been "a closet Abraham Hicks fan" for many years.
I've received so many questions, requesting more insight about how the Law of Attraction works. I have also received a large number of emails from people who have grown up from a similar faith tradition, where they have felt drawn to learn more about the Law of Attraction, but fear how they would be perceived by others if anyone found out that they were studying it. They wanted to know how I, given how far I was into the Protestant, Evangelical, Fundamentalist worldview, was introduced to the Law of Attraction and how I overcame the warnings that this community has given against such study.
I decided to take all my years of notes on the Law of Attraction and everyone's questions that I have received, and I created an evergreen resource in the form of a full Law of Attraction Workshop. This podcast is the full audio recording of that workshop.
In this episode, I mentioned the link http://awakening.cliffravenscraft.com and I also told you that I'd include my email address, cliff@cliffravenscraft.com.
I'd love for you to email me and let me know your thoughts on this episode.
In this empowering episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, I share how to break through the fears holding you back from fully stepping into your purpose and sharing your fullest expression of your authentic self with the world.
I discuss the four primary fears that sabotage our dreams - fear of rejection, fear of judgment, fear of failure, and feeling not good enough. We explore where these fears originate, how they hold us back, and why it’s so critical we move through them.
The costs of letting fear win are huge - missed opportunities, lack of fulfillment, failing to share our gifts. I offer three mindset shifts to stop fear in its tracks:
- From fearing others’ opinions to approving of yourself
- From fearing failure to seeing it as learning
- From feeling inadequate to authentic self-expression
I also provide tips to take action despite the discomfort of fear. Embracing vulnerability and courage is key.
Living authentically allows us to fully be ourselves, inspire others, and attract those who resonate with our energy. I want to ignite that spark of courage in you to start unapologetically shining your light.
You CAN move through fear and boldly express the unique gifts within you. This episode will show you how so you can say YES to your wildest dreams!
The Six Journaling Prompts To Break Through Each Fear You Face
- What is the fear that you are experiencing?
- What are the root causes of that fear?
- What are the costs of letting this fear win?
- What mindset shifts are required to move beyond this fear?
- What tips and strategies can I employ if fear continues to pop up?
- What are the benefits of moving forward and being the fullest expression of who I am in the world today?

I'm so excited to share this episode with you! I had the pleasure of being joined by my good friend Megan Porta. As an experienced entrepreneur in the food blogging space, Megan brings a wealth of knowledge. And like me, she has a passion for the topics of manifestation and the Law of Attraction.
In this episode, Megan and I give an overview of what manifestation and the Law of Attraction are all about. We share some of our own personal stories of times we've successfully manifested things into our lives. Megan and I have seen the power of intention and positive thinking.
We dive into tips and insights for being more deliberate and effective at manifesting your desires. This includes getting clear on your goals, detaching from the outcome, taking aligned action, and maintaining positive energy. Megan and I both agree that manifesting with intention takes dedication and consistency. But with practice, it can absolutely transform your life experience.
A highlight from this episode was sharing our top two favorite takeaways from the classic book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. The teachings from this book formed a foundational understanding the basics of the Law of Attraction philosophy. Key lessons include the power of desire, faith, autosuggestion, and having a definite purpose.
To wrap up an enlightening conversation, Megan and I each share the most important lesson we've learned so far on our entrepreneurial journeys.
I'm so grateful to Megan for joining me and I know you'll love this manifestation-focused episode! Remember, you have the power to intentionally shape your life through focused thought. Believe in yourself and take inspired action. You've got this!

On today’s show, we explored four powerful rules for cultivating an empowered entrepreneurial mindset.
These principles have been game-changing for me as an entrepreneur. By applying them, I’ve been able to stay focused on what matters most through the rollercoaster ride of building multiple businesses over the past 15+ years.
I hope they provide value to you on your journey as well. Here’s a quick recap of the four rules we covered:
Rule #1 - Accept What You Can’t Control
As entrepreneurs, so much feels out of our hands. I shared the story of when my site crashed right after an email launch. Instead of staying calm, I stressed for hours trying to fix it immediately. Accepting I couldn't control the server outage would have saved so much time and energy.
Key Takeaway - Let go of wishing external factors would change. Control your response instead.
Rule #2 - Choose Positivity
I told the story of when a key referral partner launched a competing product. My first reaction was feeling betrayed and imagining disaster. But I reframed the situation - what could I learn and create from here? A positive mindset empowers you.
Key Takeaway - Stay solution-focused. Look for opportunities instead of complaining.
Rule #3 - Focus on What Matters
It's easy to get lost in business tasks and metrics. But stay centered on your core purpose - to serve your customers and community. I gave the example of over-obsessing on systems versus showing up to help people.
Key Takeaway - Don't lose your big vision in the weeds. Keep centered on bringing value.
Rule #4 - Appreciate the Journey
Remember that progress happens slowly. Celebrate small wins along the way. I've been guilty, in the past, of not relishing the journey enough in my focus on growth.
Key Takeaway - Enjoy the process and incremental gains. Don't just focus on the end goal.
Want to Take This Deeper? If you're an entrepreneur who resonates with these principles and wants to take them even deeper, I have an invitation for you.
I run a high-level mastermind group called Next Level Mastermind, where we do the important work of internal transformation and mindset mastery in order to build breakthrough businesses.
We meet on a weekly basis and do deep dives on these concepts. Members become like family as we support each other's growth.

In this episode, I share a recording from a recent Ask Me Anything session that I hosted. During the session, Kristy posted the following question in the chat: "I need courage to start a blog that I can monetize. Do you have any words of wisdom? I've tried starting a blog in the past but struggled with maintaining consistency. I don't want to fall into old habits. Please advise. Thanks!"
In response, I shared a powerful story to illustrate why Kristy may have been struggling to find the courage to consistently create content for her blog and take the necessary steps towards monetizing it. Following this, I discussed the most common mistake that bloggers and podcasters make when they are looking to establish an online business, and offered advice on how to avoid falling into the same trap.

We delved into the journey of making significant shifts in our careers, the challenges that come with it, and the immense growth that can be achieved through these transitions. We discussed the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing the unknown, and the power of mindset in overcoming hurdles and achieving success.

If you ever wondered why I shut down my Podcast Answer Man business and rebranded myself as the Mindset Answer Man, this episode will give greater insight into my decision than I've shared previously.
Recently, I hosted an "Ask Me Anything" session on the topic of "The Business of Coaching."
Kate Nankivell let me know that she would be participating live and that she planned to ask the following question:
"I’ve just started a new podcast called The Shape of Kate. I’m at the beginning of my much needed weight loss and regain my fitness and health journey and I want to share this journey and so much more through this podcast. Now this represents a departure from my current business so I’m thinking about my monetization strategies.
My clear intention with this podcast is to be an inspiration through sharing my journey but not a weight loss coach or fitness expert. I’ll interview those experts as I go. They rightly claim their expertise. My monetization ideas at this early stage is to bring on advertisers who pay for results. Eg when people who listen and click through to their offer and/or use my coupon code they pay me an agreed affiliate fee."
When it came time to have my conversation with Kate, I had already created an outline of insights that would have helped her optimize the effectiveness of her affiliate income streams, plus I had created a list of several other income streams that most people have not considered.
Yet, within a few moments into our conversation, I closed the browser that had all the pre-outlined insights that I had prepared. It had become clear to me that there was a much more powerful and important conversation to be had.
Have a listen to this episode to see where our conversation went. After the conversation, I give a commentary on the overall experience. I know that you'll gain a lot of value from this conversation.

Did you ever think there would be a day when you would get an episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show where I would be talking about building and optimizing Sales Funnels?
No, it's not a joke. That's really what this episode is about.
In the introduction, I mentioned how I had "unconsciously" judged Russell Brunson and his Click Funnels Brand as something that was not in alignment with my way of approaching business.
While I'm not sure that I'll ever become a Click Funnels Customer, I am already a fan of Russell's "The Secrets Trilogy" which are three books titled DOTCOM SECRETS, EXPERT SECRETS and TRAFFIC SECRETS.
I've already received so much value from the first few chapters of the first book that I've committed to doing a full commentary series in my Train With Cliff Audio Journal Podcast on each of these three books.

How to Achieve a Mindset that Leads to Success in Business Why do some people achieve great success in business while others fail?
The way they think about and approach their business is a big factor, and that's something that i was asked to talk about as a guest on a popular business podcast.
In this podcast episode, I'm going to share with you the questions that I was asked and the outline that I used to respond to each question.
To start us off, can you talk a bit about your background and how you've become an authority on podcasting and business? * I started podcasting as a hobby, with my wife, about the television show LOST in 2005. * We were in the first hundred or so podcasters in the world. * By our 3rd episode, we had 27,000 subscribers. * By the end of our first year in podcast, we launched several other shows and were reaching 100’s of Thousands of listeners. * Within 2 years, I made the decision to leave the family business to do podcasting full-time. * Main source of income was Podcast Coaching - Teaching people how to podcast. * Things really took off, professionally, as the result of a few influencers that had become coaching clients. * We hosted a Disney Cruise for our community. + Our story got the attention of the CEO and co-founder of BlogWorld, the industry leading conference in social media at the time. + I was invited to come speak. + Room was standing room only. * I was invited to become the Director of Podcasting for the BlogWord, which eventually rebranded to New Media Expo. * In 12 years, I helped more than 40,000 people successful launch their podcast, generating a few million dollars in revenue through the process.
In a broad sense, what is a "business mindset"? What all does that term include and describe? * I find it helpful to contrast the term “business mindset” with the term “employee mindset.” * A business mindset includes the following beliefs. + People pay for value or transformation, not for your time. + You do not have to work hard for money, you simply need to provide value. + How much you charge for your products and services are based upon how much value you bring to your client/customer. + There is no such thing as failure, there is only education. Temporary setbacks allow you to learn new lessons that lead towards the perfect plan to get to your desired outcome. + What doesn’t get measured, doesn’t improve. + etc.
What is the difference between a "growth mindset" and a "fixed mindset", and which one is better for an entrepreneur? * A fixed mindset is the belief that you have to work with the amount of skills, abilities and talents that you were born with, or that you have attained by a certain age. + There’s a saying that goes… “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” * A growth mindset is one that believes that you never stop learning and growing. + You can always learn a new skill. + Abilities and talents can be acquired through passion and practice.
A growth mindset is better for everyone, but it is certainly a required mindset for any entrepreneur who will need to pivot in business to keep up with the changing world we live in.
Why is your mindset important as a business leader? What are the advantages of having the right mindset? Mindset boils down to “A set of beliefs that you hold in your mind.”
- What you believe is possible.
- What you believe is not possible.
- How you believe things SHOULD BE
- What you believe you SHOULD or SHOULD NOT do.
The problem is that most of our beliefs were established during the first 7 years of our life, before we had a rational critical thinking mind.
ALL BELIEFS HAVE CONSEQUENCES
- Our beliefs determine how we think and feel about any situation in life.
- How we think and feel determines what actions we take.
- The actions we take determines the results that we get.
So every belief (or your mindset) about anything has either a Positive or Negative Consequence.
The advantage of having a GROWTH MINDSET is that you can actually CHANGE what you believe.
Is a "business mindset" the same thing as an "entrepreneurial mindset", and if not how do those differ? * I suppose you could be a “senior leader” within a business and have a “business mindset” but not have what it takes (mindset wise) to actually own your own business. * An entrepreneurial mindset requires the person to have certain beliefs around the idea of “risk taking” and realizing and fully accepting that the results of those risks are their responsibility.
How can the wrong mindset negatively impact a business? What are the risks or downsides of failing to cultivate a business mindset? * Half of all businesses are fail in their first year. * 80% are fail within five years. * 96% fail within the first 10 years. * 4% of businesses last more than 10 years. + However, that doesn’t mean they succeed. + That just means that they are “still standing,” even if they are not profitable.
My belief is that “the wrong mindset” is a reason of nearly every business failure.
Success in any area of life, including business is…
- 20% knowing what to do and how to do it.
- 80% Mindset
- The ability to consciously and rationally evaluate and change what you believe to be true.
- The ability to control how you think and feel about any given situation.
- The ability to control your “emotional state of mind.”
- The ability experience fear and move forward in spite of what could go wrong.
The downside of failing to cultivate a business mindset is that your business will almost certainly fail.
What are the key characteristics of a successful business mindset? * People pay for value or transformation, not for your time. * You do not have to work hard for money, you simply need to provide value. * How much you charge for your products and services are based upon how much value you bring to your client/customer. * There is no such thing as failure, there is only learning new lessons that lead towards the perfect plan to get to your desired outcome. * What doesn’t get measured, doesn’t improved. * etc.
What are the main "red flags" that someone needs to shift their mindset? The two most common red flags are:
- They often experience stress and overwhelm when faced with any unexpected result or situation within their business.
- The business is not consistently profitable month to month.
How are mindset and outlook related? * I think of outlook as “having vision.” * There is a saying that goes… “Without vision, the people will perish.” * I believe that this also applies to business… “Without vision, the business will perish.” * The quality of the vision that an entrepreneur will have for their business will be directly in proportion to their mindset. + If they have limited beliefs about what is possible, they will have a limited vision of what they create.
Is there one ideal business mindset that everyone should aspire to, or does the right mindset vary between people and industries? For the most part, I believe that the right mindset, once acquired, can be used to achieve success in not only any business or in any industry, but also in any other area of life.
- This is why you will sometimes see the CEO of a major corporation able to transition and experience success as the CEO of a different corporation in another industry.
As for the one ideal mindset that everyone should aspire to, I’d say….
- You know exactly what it is that you want.
- You absolutely believe that what you want is possible.
- You are fully convinced that what you want is something YOU MUST HAVE.
- You have DECIDED that you will get what you want.
- You are committed to creating an action plan to attain what you want.
- You are devoted to evaluating the results of your actions plan and changing your approach until you find the perfect plan of attaining what you want.
- You will have want you want.
What is one thing about business mindsets that people often get wrong or misunderstand, and how should they approach it instead? * Many people believe they can change their limited mindset (beliefs) simply by reciting “affirmations.” + If I can just say it enough, eventually I’ll start to believe it. * I am a firm believer in affirmations. However, they don’t work unless you discover the power of the “sub conscious mind” and how it works.
I recommend two resources on this.
- Psycho-Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz.
- Chapter 4 of the book Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill on the topic of “Autosuggestion.”
What are the steps to identifying your current business mindset for someone who's never done this kind of self-reflection before? By simply asking a few questions.
- What is something that you would like to experience in your business that you are not currently experiencing?
- Do you believe it is possible for you to experience that in your business?
- How long do you think it would take to make this a reality in your business?
- What are 1, 2 or 3 actions that you could take within the next 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days that will get you closer to this desired outcome?
- Why haven’t you already taken these actions?
- What is one or two things that you need to put an end to to make this a reality?
- Why have you not already put an end to theses things?
All of these questions will reveal your current mindset and beliefs related to that Dream, Goal and/or Desired Outcome.
Once you've identified where your mindset needs some adjustments, what next? What actionable steps can someone take to shift their mindset? 1. Make a list of all the beliefs that are associated beliefs in that particular area. 2. Determine the source of those beliefs. 3. Evaluate the truth of those beliefs. 4. Disassociate from beliefs that do not support the movement toward your desired outcome. 5. Replace limiting beliefs with empowering, alternative beliefs. 6. Condition these new beliefs through repetition and environment.
Changing how you think isn't easy. What are some resources or tools that can help people make the right mindset adjustments effectively? "Changing how you think isn’t easy" is a belief.
- However, I have found that it is incredibly easy to change how you think, in an instant, once you know how the sub-conscious mind works.
Resources that I recommend:
- Book - Psycho-Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz
- Book - Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
- Book - Unlimited Power by Tony Robbins
What are some signs that someone could benefit from coaching or mentorship to help them shift their mindset? Top Three Signs That Come To My Mind:
- If you are easily stressed and overwhelmed when an unexpected situation shows up in your business.
- If you are not consistently experiencing profit, month to month, in your business.
- If you feel unfilled in your work.
How should someone find and choose a mentor or coach if they don't have a big professional network to draw from? Find a Role Model
- Someone who is already experiencing what it is that you want to experience.
-

If there was a movie made about your journey, what would the title be? Free The Dream!
A mindset is a very intangible thing. As you're making these adjustments, how can you evaluate if they're successful? What are some signs that your mindset is changing for the better? First, I believe that mindset is an incredibly tangible thing.
-
I can determine a person’s mindset on any topic within 3 to 5 minutes and I can predict what their experience of their life will be related to that topic in the same amount of time.
-
As for signs that their mindset is changing for the better… Simply evaluate to see if they are getting better results related to the things they desire to accomplish in life.
- Are they dreaming bigger dreams?
- Are they pushing through their fears?
- Are they accomplishing more?
Once someone's made those shifts, how can they prevent themselves from slipping back into bad habits? How do you make mindset changes stick?
- Repetition is the mother of skill.
- Don’t stop doing what has worked to help you get where you are.
- Upgrade Your Peer Group
- The quality of your life will be determined by the expectations of your peer group.
- Get into a Mastermind Group of people who are living life according to the mindset you desire.
What is your favorite "mindset hack"? Are there any quick and easy steps someone can take to make impactful change? * The Mindset Principle: Go to a mastermind group of people who are already operating in life at the level you desire to operate. Tell them what it is that you desire and instantly gain insight from their education, experience, skills, talents and abilities. + A single conversation with this group can shift your perception of what is possible.
How does someone with a success-oriented mindset respond to setbacks and failures? * Some do not actually understand the concept of “failure.” * They simply evaluate what can be learned by the results of actions taken. * They apply what they learn and change their changed approach until they get what they desire. * They see setbacks as the opportunity to develop a more perfect plan to get to their desired outcome and to create safeguards for future similar setbacks. * They expect the unexpected.
Can you share an example of a business leader who has an ideal mindset? What does that look like in practice? Steve Jobs.
- He often had a vision for a product that he wanted to create.
- He often had the top engineers in the world tell him that want he wanted to create was not possible.
- He often fired those “experts” who had a fixed mindset about what was possible.
- He transferred his vision of what he wanted to create to those engineers who were able to dare to dream about the pushing the boundaries of what is believed to be possible.
- Today a few billion people benefit daily from many products that were, at one point, just a “thought” in the mind of Steve Jobs.
On the other side, can you share an example of a poor mindset causing business problems or failure? * The time I had a client schedule a one hour consulting call with me to help solve a technical issue with a piece of podcasting equipment. * He knew that I charged $300 per hour with a minimum of one hour. * We got on the call and I solved his problem within two minutes. * He was incredibly pleased and requested that I send him the invoice for $300. * I refused! * Learn more about this story at MindsetAnswerMan.com/free
How does having the right mindset make someone better at leading and motivating other people? * A person with the right mindset can influence others. * They can help shift the perceptions of those who they serve about what is possible. * They can help those they serve see their circumstances from a different perspective.
What are some day-to-day habits of people who have the right mindset for success? * They read/study for INSIGHT - Not agreement or rejection! * Journaling * Meditation * Rest / Power Napping * Recreation * Working Out
What are some bad habits that could negatively affect someone's mindset without them even realizing it? * Eating lots of processed foods, and consuming too much sugar. * Watching too much NEWS MEDIA * Watching movies and television shows with narratives that consistently show the business owner as the villain.
How does helping others help improve your mindset? * I don’t want to run the risk of answering this in such a way that assumes that helping others will improve your mindset. * There are many powerful books out there that talk about the concept of “When Helping Others Hurst You.” + I don’t have any particular book recommendation on this topic. However, I have many stories of experience.
With that said, I believe that the best thing that you can do is to Help Yourself by Improving Your Mindset. It’s only in having a healthy mindset that you can truly help others.
- This is why it was once said that the second greatest thing a person can do is to “Love others AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF.”
- If you’ve ever been on an airplane, you’ve likely been told that in case of emergency, you should put your secure your own source of oxygen before trying to help someone else attain their source of oxygen.
Who are some thought leaders in the business world who have inspired you and been influential in developing your business mindset? * Dan Miller, author of the book 48 Days The The Work You Love * Michael Hyatt, New York Times Best-Selling Author and former CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishing * Tony Robbins * Napoleon Hill * Every member of my Green Room Mastermind Group. + Ray Edwards + Pat Flynn + Michael Stelzner + Mark Mason + Leslie Samuel I’ve met with these guys for one hour, every week, since October 2010
How do negative mindsets develop in the first place? Are there common root causes you see in your coaching and mentorship work? Typically most of our negative, limiting, beliefs were adopted during the first 7 years of our life.
- Things our parents said or did.
- Things our Teachers said or did.
- Things our religious leaders said or did.
- Things our peers said or did.
- Our Culture
- The News Media
- Etc.
What are some common myths or misconceptions about business mindsets, and why are those wrong? * That affirmations, alone, will work. * That affirmations don’t work.
Affirmations do work. However, only after you do the work to become consciously aware of and then remove any competing belief.
Most people don’t have a “deep feeling” of belief that their new “affirmed statement” is actually true.
Could you talk a bit about the Mastermind Principle? What is it, how did you learn about it, and how does it lead to business success? I have an entire podcast on this topic at UpgradeYourPeerGroup.com
The mastermind principle is…
- When two or more people come together in a spirit of perfect harmony with the intention to focus on a desired outcome. That group can come up with insights and ideas that would be impossible for any member to come up with individually.
I learned about the mastermind principle from Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
A person in a healthy mastermind group can accomplish more in a single year, with the aid of their mastermind group, than they could in a lifetime if they relied on their own effort.
What is the relationship between business mindset and goal setting? * How big a person is able to dream is determined by their mindset. * The ability to achieve any goal is directly determined by their mindset.
What is your favorite business book and why? * Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill + It is the most thorough and in-depth study in what a “successful business mindset” is that has ever been published in a single book.

I am currently reading a book and I came across the following dialog...
Anything is one of a million paths.
Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path, if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions.
To have such clarity you must lead a disciplined life. Only then will you know that any path is only a path and there is no affront to oneself, or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you to do.
Your decision to keep on the path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition.
I warn you. Look at every path closely and deliberately.
Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question.
This question is one that only a very wise person asks. Does this path have a heart?
All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. In my own life I could say I have traversed long long paths, but I am not anywhere.
Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't.
One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.
But how do you know when a path has no heart?
Before you embark on any path ask the question: Does this path have a heart? If the answer is no, you will know it, and then you must choose another path.
But how will I know, for sure, whether a path has a heart or not?
Anyone would know that. The trouble is nobody asks the question; and when a man finally realizes that he has taken a path without a heart, the path is ready to kill him. At that point very few men can stop to deliberate, and leave the path.
How should I proceed to ask the question properly?
Just ask it.
I mean is there a proper method, so I would not lie to myself and believe the answer is yes when it is really no?
Why would you lie?
Perhaps because at the moment the path is pleasant and enjoyable.
That is nonsense. A path without a heart is never enjoyable. You have to work hard even to take it. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy; it does not make you work at liking it.

The Move From A "To Do" List to A "To Be" List
Have you ever been overwhelmed by how much you "have to do" and found yourself thinking that you simply "don't have enough time" to get everything done?
Have you ever got caught up in the endless search for the best method of tracking all of your tasks (or To Do Items)?
Over the years, I've been paid thousands of dollars to teach people some of my organizational methods for To Do List Management and Time Management.
However, the biggest breakthrough in my life was when I stoped focusing on "To Do Lists."
For the past few years, I have not made any regular use of any "to do list."
I discovered something far more valuable.
I call it my "To Be List."

Below is the outline that I used to create this podcast episode. I thought that including each of these incredibly powerful questions in the show notes would be of tremendous value you to you.
I used to struggle to believe that I could make a living encouraging others through conversations (coaching).
My Limiting Beliefs: * You don’t get paid to do your “hobby” or “the things you love to do” in this world.
+ Why should you earn money doing what you love when there are so many other people who suffer working two and three jobs, doing things that make them miserable, just to barely provided for the minimum needs of their family?
-
People understand and accept you in a “known, trusted and responsible career” such as insurance agent?
- What would people think if they learned you left that behind to encourage people through your podcast content?
- What if you succeed? Would people become bitter and resentful that you are getting paid well to work that fills you with joy while they continue to suffer their soul-sucking day job or jobs?
What I discovered along the way was the following: 1. THE POWER OF DAY DREAMING! 2. Your Subconscious Mind Will Always Work To Answer Any Question That You Put To It. 3. Change Your Questions And You Will Change Your Life POSSIBILITY QUESTIONS THAT OPENED THE WAY FOR ME!!!!
- I wonder what my life would be like if I were to make a full-time living from having encouraging conversations with others (Coaching)?
- How would my life be different?
- How would I feel after working with each client?
- In what way would my coaching benefit the lives of those I coach?
LIMITATION:
- I’ve got a lot of financial commitments already, I need money NOW, and I simply don’t see any path to a business model that will allow me to do this work.
POSSIBILITY QUESTIONS:
- Who is already out there, making a living from coaching, that I can study and learn from?
- How much money would I need to generate, per month, to live up to all my financial commitments? (Let’s pretend that it is $10K Per month)
- What are at least five products/services, that I could begin offering, that would allow me to earn generate $10K per month from my passion for coaching, teaching, encouraging, educating, etc?
- Can I find 1 Client to pay $10K per month?
- Can I find 2 Clients to pay $5K per month?
- Can I find 4 Clients to pay $2.5K per month?
- Can I find 10 Clients to pay $1K per month?
- Can I find 20 Clients to pay $500 per month?
- Can I find 40 Clients to pay $250 per month?
- Can I find 100 Clients to pay $100 per month?
LIMITATION:
- I have so many unresolved issues in my own life, why would anyone would trust me as their coach?
- (This question asks your subconscious mind to come up with answers to support your limitation)
- Ask this question and you’ll be surprised at the limitless answers that will come as to why people would not want to hire you
- (This question asks your subconscious mind to come up with answers to support your limitation)
POSSIBILITY QUESTIONS:
- Is there anyone in this world without any unresolved issues?
- Great! I’m in good company with the human race.
- Are there any struggles, obstacles, limitations or any other issues that I’ve faced in my past that I have successfully overcome?
- Make a list as long as you can.
- “The Obstacle Is The Way.”
- “Turn your suffering into Wisdom”
- Document and share what you’ve learned!
- Make a list as long as you can.
- In what way will my current un-resolved issues give me even further credibility and wisdom as I begin to tackle them, one by one as I continue my life’s journey?
LIMITATION:
- I don’t have enough experience or as much experience as so many other people who already do this work.
- I’m not nearly as qualified as others.
- Why would anyone hire me when they could hire someone else who has so much more experience and qualifications?
- Ask this question and your subconscious mind will give you many convincing answers to support this limitation.
POSSIBILITY QUESTIONS:
- Are there people out there who have less experience than I have in this area who would be delighted to learn from the experience I’ve had so far?
- Is it possible that the fact that I’m new and just starting out could work to my advantage?
- Ask this question and you might find answers like…
- Some people would much rather hear from you, someone that they have come to know and trust, rather than someone that you personally known and trust, but where the person you look up to does not resonate with them?
- As people continue to master their skills and build even greater amounts of value from their acquired knowledge and wisdom, they often can demand much than you would even dream of charging at this stage in your game. This means that you may be far more accessible and affordable than the people that you might be comparing yourself to.
- You almost owe it to people to give them the opportunity to have access to someone who is more accessible and more affordable than those big name mentors you look up to.
- Ask this question and you might find answers like…
LIMITATION:
- I don’t have a large enough following.
POSSIBILITY QUESTIONS:
- Do I require a large following to make a living doing what I most desire to do?
- Who on this earth was born with a large following?
- Great! I’m in good company with the human race?
- What are the common qualities and characteristics of those who attain large followings?
- Is there anyone who has a large following out there that I can study to learn what steps they may have taken to gain such a following?
- What platform(s) am I willing to put my message out there (aka: create content) to gain my first/next follower?

Here are a few testimonials from current and former members of The Next Level Mastermind: Tom Heffner said... Cliff Ravenscraft and the mastermind he created were a major inflection point in my career and life. I went from feeling trapped in a day job to creating my own freedom and autonomy. I left the day job at that time to start my own business to give myself more freedom to do what I want, with whom I want, when I wanted. I've never looked back. Here's the interesting part - as much as Cliff can help you with the tactical/practical (e.g. the in's/out's of online business - he can definitely help with this) ... what really helped me was changing my mindsets and removing the limiting beliefs holding me back from achieving what I wanted.
Dan Faulknor said... I joined the group with the plan of maybe leaving my day job in the next year or two. Within 6 months of joining (and attending meetings at 3am my time. It was worth it!) I had a plan to leave my day job within a couple of months. I did leave my day job, much sooner than expected and now 4 years later my business is thriving with 3 employees + myself. Cliff's ability to ask you questions and get you to lead YOURSELF is his greatest strength, in my mind. You have nobody to 'blame' but yourself, because you provide all the answers with Cliff's guidance.
Kevin Davis said... I was at a standstill. Didn’t know what the next step was. Actually, I didn’t think I was qualified to make the next step. Didn’t have anyone in my circle at that time to help. So I took a leap and joined Cliffs mastermind. My how things changed! First was overcoming some thoughts that held me back. Then some steps and next action items to get the ball rolling. Now I’ve moved the ball down the field farther and quicker than ever imagined.
Leslie Graham said... If you are thinking about this, be sure to reach out to Cliff. Joining NLM was the biggest leap I'd ever made in terms of investing in myself and my business, but my life was radically changed in so many ways as a result of my nearly two years with the group. In fact, my current business was launched as a result and I couldn't be happier with the trajectory of that business.
Danielle Wiebe said... Such an amazing experience! Cliff Ravenscraft is the Real Deal. Investing in the NLM was a huge catalyst for me and gave me so much confidence to make big leaps in my business! So grateful for Cliff and the amazing people he brings together!
Liz Deacle said... I remember listening to one of Cliffs podcasts - the one where you had to write down ten things that you wanted to come true in your life.
The first thing I wrote on my list was: 'work with Cliff Ravenscraft'. Later that month I took the first steps to making that dream a reality. I plucked up the courage and applied for a complimentary coaching call and within the month I was talking to Cliff for 90 mins.
That call changed everything for me. I knew that I HAD to work with this guy. He understood me like no-one else had ever done before and in that 90 min call he opened my eyes to so many possibilities.
But there was only one problem. Money. How could I possibly think of spending the small amount of life savings my husband and I had scraped together on a years membership to a weekly mastermind group? The thought terrified me.
I took a week to think about it. Luckily my husband was 100% on board. He had seen the enormous change in me after just one 90 min call. 'It's just money' he said. 'I wouldn't be surprised if you don't make that amount back ten fold within the year'.
That was all I needed to hear. I joined the mastermind and have been a member for five months. I am currently in Greece traveling with my husband. We are making $10,000 a month. Almost double what we were making this time last year.
I tell you this not to brag but to encourage and reassure you. I know for a FACT that this wouldn't be happening if I were not part of Cliffs mastermind group. I have been pushed and encouraged, listened to and advised. I feel supported and valued. My life is so very, very different to what it was before I met the incredible group of people within Cliff's mastermind group.
If you are like me, if you are sitting reading this thinking 'that's the kind of group that only the big shots join,' then please. Think again. If you want to take your life to the next level, this is where you need to be.

In this episode, I demonstrate how the answers to the most challenging decisions that you face are found within yourself. Many times, it is tempting to look to "outsource" our decisions, hoping that they will tell us what they think we should do.
I'm certainly believe that there is value in seeking the perspective of others, under the right circumstances. However, I have never found it valuable to have anyone tell me what it is that they think that I should actually do, for myself, when facing a decision.
I hope that you enjoy this episode. If you do, please reach out to me via email, Cliff@CliffRavenscraft.com, or send me a direct message on Instagram @CliffEOTC.

In this episode, I feature a conversation with my great friend, Jake Lang, from The Entrepreneur Ride Along, AssociatePi.com, and the author of the book Step One.
Jake's story, of determination about what he wanted to create in this world, is a great example of how to get past the perceived failures, mistakes and obstacles that stand between our dream and it seeing it become reality.

In this episode, I hope to express how powerful you are at creating things in this world. One of the most powerful questions you can answer is "What Do I Want To Create In This World?" If you don't have immediate answers for this question, I share that you'll discover that you are "creating by default."
I hope that this episode will help you create a list of what you want to create in this world, if you don't already have such a list.
At the end of the episode, I share that what I want to create is a response from a minimum of 50 listeners who will reach out and tell me how long they have been listening to my content and who will also share with me the top 3 things they want to create in this world.
If you want to be one of those 50, please email me at Cliff@CliffRavenscraft.com with the subject line "My Top 3 Things."

Have you ever struggled to "feel good" at the end of the day because it does seem like you've received as many results from the actions you've taken to meet your goals? Last week, I came across a topic that has radically helped me to shift my view of who I consider the success of any day, week or month in my business. I hope that you enjoy this episode.

The post 675 – Are You Transmitting? appeared first on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.
In this episode, I answer a question from someone who has been listening to the content that I've created about mindset and the use of affirmations.
Here is the question, as it was asked….
“My question is a process question for you. I've followed you a little bit. I'm a Bible teacher… Been teaching the Bible all my life. There are many things that you say that resonate with many biblical principles. But the question that I have for you… As I listen, it's like, yeah, okay, fine, great. I can be that at this moment in time. But it is just so easy to be swept away in the current of life and all of a sudden… an hour, two hours, three hours into all this and… I'm like, Holy mackerel, I've got to get my mindset back. What tips, hints or helps do you have in terms of making this an ongoing process? It's just that… It's a continual battle it would seem.”
If this question resonates with you, I hope that you'll listen to every work spoken in this episode.
By The Way…

I've always been an “early adopter” to new technologies, especially those that allow for communication of ideas and social interaction and engagement around those ideas.
Every now and then, there is a new form of technology that stands out among all the noise out there and that has the power to radically shift the way that humans engage with one another in a powerful and positive way.
I believe that the Clubhouse App is one of the best forms of social media since the creation of “podcasting.”
Yes, admittedly, I am biased as someone who prefers to create and consume content in the “spoken word” format. However, even those who typically prefer to create video content (both pre-recorded and live streaming) are flocking to Clubhouse on a daily basis as well.
What Is Clubhouse? One way to describe Clubhouse is as an audio only social media application that allows people from all over the world to have real-time conversations on any topic at any time.
Clubhouse, at times, serves like a conference where you can go into rooms and hear speakers teach on a wide variety of topics. I'm filling entire notebooks with valuable insights that I've discovered by being in rooms on Clubhouse.
Clubhouse rooms have, at times, been like the “hallway conversations” with people that you see at a conference, where you get to meet someone for the first time or to catch up on what's been happening since the last time you connected.
There are so many other fascinating and unique aspects of Clubhouse that will become obvious should you decide to engage on this platform.
If you desire a more thorough review and description of the platform, I'd highly recommend the following three articles that have been produced by my friend Michael Stelzner and this team at Social Media Examiner:
– Why Clubhouse App Might Be the Next Major Social Media Platform
– Clubhouse App: How to Get Started
– How to Start a Clubhouse Room and Moderate Like a Pro
My Experience With Clubhouse I'll never forget the date, December 16th, 2006. That was the day I published my very first podcast episode. Within a few months of publishing that first episode, I had made the decision to go “all in” on audio podcasting for getting my message out and serving others in the world in my own unique way.
That decision to go “all in” on audio podcasting turned out to be an incredibly powerful decision that radically altered the entire trajectory of my journey through life.
Similarly, I believe that I'll remember the date December 9th, 2020 which was the first day I had ever logged onto the Clubhouse App.
By the way, I am @CliffEOTC on Clubhouse
I have already developed what I am assured will be life-long, meaningful, relationships with people from all over the world. Best of all, these are people who I had never heard of and who had never heard of me prior to using the Clubhouse App.
I've created a “Club” (think of this as being like a Facebook Group) for the Free The Dream Community on the Clubhouse platform.
When Can You Find Me On Clubhouse? I'm currently hosting a Weekly MASTERCLASS Series on Clubhouse.
These 60 to 90 minute sessions are hosted EVERY WEDNESDAY starting at 3:30pm Eastern Time under the Free The Dream Community Club.
Replays are listed on the Free The Dream Community Club page as well.
IMPORTANT NOTE: My strategy for Clubhouse shifts from time to time depending upon the season fo the year and what priority I decide to give to other major projects in my personal and professional life.
I occasionally host additional live events on Clubhouse beyond the above mentioned Wednesday MasterClass events.
While the Clubhouse Application has a robust “notification system,” I find it to be lacking in many ways.
If you are genuinely interested in participating in some of the rooms that I host on Clubhouse, I'm using the “Telegram App” to send out my own, personalized and custom, notifications of when and where I can be found inside the Clubhouse App. Follow the following steps to get free access to the my “Cliff On Clubhouse” notifications.
-
Install the Telegram App and setup your free account.
-
Go to http://MindsetAnswerMan.com/notify
-
Click “view in app” and then Subscribe to the “Cliff on Clubhouse” channel.
Once subscribed, you'll receive all of the notifications that I personally create to announce what I'm up to on Clubhouse.
Hope to potentially connect with you there.
Sincerely,
Cliff

The post 671 – Pronoia – The Belief That Life Is Happening For You! appeared first on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.
I'm happy to announce that I've just launched my 41st podcast show titled “Upgrade Your Peer Group – The Power of Mastermind Groups.”
I'm including the first episode of this new show where I share an introduction to my overall story of how I made the transition from the “Mindset of an Employee” to the “Mindset of a Self-Employed Business Owner.”
I could have never succeeded in such a radical transformation in my life had it not been for my understanding of the need to “upgrade my peer group” to those who believed in my ability to succeed in this endeavor.
I only succeeded in closing one chapter of my life and boldly proceeding into the next chapter as a result of my upgraded peer group, who were willing to commit to my success in this transformation.
This podcast is all about helping you develop and benefit from a fuller understanding of the power behind the Mastermind Principle and Healthy Mastermind Group Alliances.

I recently hosted an ASK ME ANYTHING room on CLUBHOUSE titled How To Never Work And Get Paid Well To Do It. My friend, Jared Elrod, posed the following question…
How do you avoid experiencing frustration with your current job if you know that you still have a little bit of a runway… a year, two years, or whatever it is…? How do you maintain a level of happiness and positivity at your current job rather than resenting it when you just want to move on to your next thing?
I shared two significant insights with Jared and I thought that this brief conversation would be sharing with you in this episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.

The post 669 – How Do I Avoid Frustration With My Day Job When My Side Business Is Not Yet Mature Enough To Take Flight? appeared first on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.
In this episode, I share a coaching conversation that I recently had with Abd Aref via the Free The Dream Clubhouse Community.
Here is the question that was posed…
Whenever I make a decision, I'd always set out the pros and cons. And then I would predict the outcome. I will also communicate to seek some advice from people who have already made decisions similar to mine. But the thing is that I ALWAYS GET STUCK in this stage where I always think about WHAT IF… , WHAT IF… , WHAT IF… , WHAT IF… It leaves me emotionally drawn. I cannot sleep. I cannot do ANYTHING! I would always just have these… (thoughts?) It could be negative, it could be positive…. But it makes me take long periods to make a decision. And I end up not making the right decision. So what's your take on that?
If you find that you resonate with this question, I encourage you to listen to this episode to hear my response.
Of course I encourage you to read the book that I recommended in this episode. It is Psycho-Cybernetics: Updated and Expanded by Dr. Maxwell Maltz.

I’m back from my 10 day personal retreat in the Smokey Mountains and I'm inspired, more than ever before (and that's saying A LOT) to create content at “the next level.”
I share the launch of The Lord of The Rings Fan Podcast.
I talked about how I used to produce a very large number of podcast shows where I averaged between seven to fifteen podcast episodes a week and why I eventually shut down most of those shows.
However, because of Kajabi's Podcasting Functionality, and its absolute ease of use, I can now pursue my vision for content creation according to the way I envision it.
Here are the active shows that I mentioned in this episode:
• Train With Cliff Audio Program
• The Cliff Ravenscraft Show (That's this show)
• Cliff’s Notes on Profitable Coaching
• Family From The Heart
• Lord of The Rings Fan Podcast
• Twilight Saga Podcast
• The Community Voice
And of course I share a list of potential shows that I'm likely to launch over the next few weeks and months.

In this episode, I have a share another coaching conversation that I recently had on Clubhouse. Carolina had asked the question, “When do you think would be a good time to stop trying to go after the things that you want in life?”
Carolina had been attempting to get a scholarship for a Masters Degree Program in another country for many years. She had applied four separate times and had not got the scholarship. Having already decided to stop pursuing this dream, she is faced with a desire to apply once again. She's wondering if she should do it or just “stop.”
It is my sincere hope that our conversation will bring forth a great deal of insight in your own life as you begin to dig much deeper to find out what it is that you “truly” want in life. Once you find out what you truly want, you'll often discover that there are a number of ways to get it and all the resources you need are already available to you.

Have you ever asked yourself what it is that you would like to create in the world?
Do you know what your dreams are?
In this episode, I share a coaching conversation with someone who thought that he needed help putting an end to procrastination on university projects. I did help him understand how he can create the motivation to get school projects completed in a more timely manner.
The value of this coaching conversation, however, exponentially increased when Sherif discovered what it is that he would like to create in the world. I encourage you to follow the entire conversation and ask yourself the same questions that I asked Sherif in this episode.
After you listen, please send me an email with the subject line “What I Want To Create In The World” and tell me what your dream is and what is currently the biggest obstacle standing in your way. My email address is mentioned in the episode.

The value of this coaching conversation, however, exponentially increased when Sherif discovered what it is that he would like to create in the world. I encourage you to follow the entire conversation and ask yourself the same questions that I asked Sherif in this episode.
After you listen, please send me an email with the subject line “What I Want To Create In The World” and tell me what your dream is and what is currently the biggest obstacle standing in your way. My email address is mentioned in the episode.

Do you have a problem with “Procrastination” or do you have a problem with “Living A Life Unworthy of Living”?
In this episode, I share how solving the issue of “Procrastination” is often the wrong focus for our problem solving time, effort and energy.
In fact, I share how, in many circumstances, procrastination is a gift, especially when it brings you to an awareness that your limited time on this Earth may be better put to use on other things that would lead to a more fulfilling life.

In this episode, I share a coaching conversation with someone who has been “struggling” to create paid coaching business for the past four years. She has created multiple websites, social media profiles, a podcast and has a long list of other things that she feels that she needs to do before she can begin creating paid products and services as a coach.
In less than 30 minutes of getting to know Cheryl, it became obvious that what was holding her back was that she had been held back due to “fear of the unknown.” Her fear was that she didn't know if she could get medical coverage if she left her teaching career. Rather than getting an answer to that “unknown factor,” she has “dabbled” on a number of “unnecessary things” over the past four years, with no significant actions toward creating paid products and services.
I know that this coaching conversation is going to resonate with nearly everyone on multiple levels.

In this episode, I share a coaching conversation that I had via Clubhouse with Chika Bullock.
Chika has an inspirational story of how she moved from Japan to New York City 15 years ago and she shared with me her additional inspirational story of her recent journey towards becoming a certified life coach over the past two years.
She came to me requesting help to overcome her fear, frustration and overwhelm about all the things that stand between her and the completion of her coaching certification course at the end of this year.
While there are a number of valuable lessons that can be pulled out of this conversation, the main point that I would suggest that you pay attention to is the concept of understanding as much as is possible about what someone wants, what seems to be standing in the way of them getting what they want and then simply present that information back to them by “defining their problem in solvable terms.”
In less than forty minutes, I was able to recognize what Chika desired, what resources she already had available to her and then I was able to present a clear plan that helped her get everything she wanted in the simplest way possible. This is one of the many things that I love doing for folks through my one-on-one coaching.

The post 652 – Who Are You? Why Are You Here? appeared first on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.
I made an intentional decision to leave social media for a season of life.
Initially, I decided to go without Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn for the month of September.
I deleted all those apps from my phone and made a commitment to not log into these platforms from any other browser or device.
October rolled around and I found my life, and relationships with others, remarkable better.
It's now November and I still have not reinstalled these apps.
I do not feel that I am any better than those who continue to find value in these social media platforms.
This is not some badge of honor that I trying to show off. It's just that, personally for me, I have not felt any need, or desire, to continue to use these social media platforms for an unspecified amount of time in this season of my life.
The only exception is this post that is designed to answer one question that many people have asked… “ARE YOU OKAY?”
If you are sincerely interested in the answer to that question, I encourage you to listen to this 90 minute audio podcast episode.
This may be the final public facing piece of content (on any social media platform) for the remainder of 2020.
Until next time, I wish you great peace, joy, love and a conscious awareness of the overwhelming abundance that surrounds you every day.
Sincerely,
Cliff

Over the past year, I have experienced a significant amount of transformation in what “drives me.” I talked about the beginning of this transformation one year ago in episode 615 of this podcast titled “This Changes EVERYTHING.”
If you look at the show notes written for that episode, I stated the following:
This will likely go down as being one of the most powerful episodes of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show. Certainly, this episode will serve to document the next radical transformation in my personal and professional life.
Today, my life is devoted serving a very small number of people at the deepest level. I'm most interested in growing my impact and influence in the world one conversation at a time.
In this episode, I share an example of the type of work that I've been devoted to over the past year.
I hope that you find and incredible amount of insight and inspiration from what I've chosen to share.

The post 610 – True Relationships Happen Outside of Automation appeared first on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.
Have you ever had a crazy dream?
A dream that seemed so impossible, but no matter how the mere thought of going after scared you, it simply would not go away?
Several years ago, I had a dream of hosting a live conference.
Not just any conference.
My dream was that I was going to host a conference, IN A STADIUM, where tens of thousands of people would come to hear me speak.
I seriously had no idea where this dream came from.
At the time, I wouldn't have considered myself to be that much of a powerful communicator when it came to “pubic speaking, on a stage, in front of a live audience.”
For the life of me, I couldn't imagine anything that I, personally, could ever share at such a conference that would attract an audience of that size.
But this dream never went away.
It was weeks before I ever spoke about this dream to my closest friends.
Of course they encouraged me. The told me that they could see that happening.
But those were just my closest friends who have always saw much more potential in me than I had ever seen in myself.
Their encouragement, however, was starting to impact my own beliefs about this dream.
It took months before I ever spoke about this dream to those outside my “inner circle.”
I'll never forget the night, February 2016, that I sat in the living room of some friends that I had just met for the very first time in Auckland, New Zealand.
I was in New Zealand on an all-expenses paid, ten day, trip to New Zealand as a Keynote Speaker for the first ever Asia Pacific Podcast Conference hosted by my friend Paul Spain.
Some friends, that I had met at the event, had invited myself and Paul over for dinner. As we sat in their living room, someone asked me…. “What's next for Cliff Ravenscraft?”
I nervously told them about my dream of hosting my own stadium event.
I was shocked to hear the words of every person in that room as they told me how much they were 100% certain that dream would be fulfilled.
Not only that, but every person in the room had committed that they, themselves, would be buy a ticket to my first, ever, stadium event.
Over the following months I began to tell others.
A majority of the first 100 people that I had shared my dream with had the same response as the small group in New Zealand.
I began to think to myself… Wow! If I could just have this same conversation with 49,900 more people, I'd have a completely sold out stadium event.
Keep that statement in mind when you follow the rest of the content that I'm about ready to share with you. You'll have a greater understanding of why I've been so drawn to one particular method of marketing the Free The Dream Conference.
It wasn't until June 2016 that I began to have a grasp about the type of content that I would share a conference that I would host.
It was at that time that my wife, Stephanie, and I attended an Unleash The Power Within event in Dallas, TX, hosted by Tony Robbins. There were approximately 10,000 people at this event.
This one weekend had a powerful impact in my life. I experience a large number of major mindset breakthroughs in a single weekend and my life has not been the same since.
Stephanie and I gave a full review of that experience in episode 456 of this podcast.
Over the next two years, it became more and more clear to me that a number of people in my community would not want to attend a Tony Robbins event, but would attend an event with the same transformational outcome if I were to host it.
I went to work and immersed myself in the studio of want I wanted to offer at my own event.
I invested more than 10,000 hours over two and a half years, studying mindset and business success tips, tools, techniques and strategies from Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn, and a large number of other folks who had devoted their lives to this type of work, to develop the Free The Dream Core Message.
I started small by hosting some live workshops in our Next Level Studio space. Once I had successfully sold out several workshops, I had the confidence needed to host our very first Free The Dream Conference in September 2018.
I took the biggest risk that I'd taken since leaving my career as an insurance agent back in January 2008, by launching the Free The Dream Conference.
I had NO IDEA how to much a conference.
I had desire to have 300 people attend that first event.
I didn't hit my goal.
However, 87 people did attend!
Of those 87, one person traveled all the way from France and another all the way from Germany.
And then…. What happened at that very first Free The Dream event was beyond what I could have ever imagined!
THIS VIDEO shows the genuine emotions that I as experiencing the week following the event.
Since the very first recollection of this dream of hosting stadium events, I've come a long way.
I have hired a number of speaking coaches and I've gone to four professional speaking development workshops to help me take my public speaking skills to the Next Level.
Today, I do actually consider myself to be a powerful communicator on a stage in front of a live audience.
In fact, when I step on a stage, in front of a live audience, today, I feel more at home there than anywhere else. Something inside of me just “comes alive.”
Today, I am 100% confident that this dream was meant to lead me to develop the Free The Dream message.
I know, with all of my being, that I was created to share this message with as many people who will be willing to hear it and apply it to their lives.
I feel DRAWN toward filling stadiums with people who are ready to break free from everything that has been holding them back from living the life of their dreams.
I must admit, I still have a lot of personal and professional growth to go through, myself, before I fill a stadium.
However, I'm taking consistent steps forward toward that dream.
I'm writing these words with only 62 days until the second annual Free The Dream Conference.
I'm still trying to figure out how to successfully market a conference such as this.
In this podcast episode, I pull back the curtains and share a behind the scenes look at what I'm doing to market Free The Dream 2019 with the time that I have remaining.

Have you ever had a crazy dream?
A dream that seemed so impossible, but no matter how the mere thought of going after scared you, it simply would not go away?
Several years ago, I had a dream of hosting a live conference.
Not just any conference.
My dream was that I was going to host a conference, IN A STADIUM, where tens of thousands of people would come to hear me speak.
I seriously had no idea where this dream came from.
At the time, I wouldn't have considered myself to be that much of a powerful communicator when it came to “pubic speaking, on a stage, in front of a live audience.”
For the life of me, I couldn't imagine anything that I, personally, could ever share at such a conference that would attract an audience of that size.
But this dream never went away.
It was weeks before I ever spoke about this dream to my closest friends.
Of course they encouraged me. The told me that they could see that happening.
But those were just my closest friends who have always saw much more potential in me than I had ever seen in myself.
Their encouragement, however, was starting to impact my own beliefs about this dream.
It took months before I ever spoke about this dream to those outside my “inner circle.”
I'll never forget the night, February 2016, that I sat in the living room of some friends that I had just met for the very first time in Auckland, New Zealand.
I was in New Zealand on an all-expenses paid, ten day, trip to New Zealand as a Keynote Speaker for the first ever Asia Pacific Podcast Conference hosted by my friend Paul Spain.
Some friends, that I had met at the event, had invited myself and Paul over for dinner. As we sat in their living room, someone asked me…. “What's next for Cliff Ravenscraft?”
I nervously told them about my dream of hosting my own stadium event.
I was shocked to hear the words of every person in that room as they told me how much they were 100% certain that dream would be fulfilled.
Not only that, but every person in the room had committed that they, themselves, would be buy a ticket to my first, ever, stadium event.
Over the following months I began to tell others.
A majority of the first 100 people that I had shared my dream with had the same response as the small group in New Zealand.
I began to think to myself… Wow! If I could just have this same conversation with 49,900 more people, I'd have a completely sold out stadium event.
Keep that statement in mind when you follow the rest of the content that I'm about ready to share with you. You'll have a greater understanding of why I've been so drawn to one particular method of marketing the Free The Dream Conference.
It wasn't until June 2016 that I began to have a grasp about the type of content that I would share a conference that I would host.
It was at that time that my wife, Stephanie, and I attended an Unleash The Power Within event in Dallas, TX, hosted by Tony Robbins. There were approximately 10,000 people at this event.
This one weekend had a powerful impact in my life. I experience a large number of major mindset breakthroughs in a single weekend and my life has not been the same since.
Stephanie and I gave a full review of that experience in episode 456 of this podcast.
Over the next two years, it became more and more clear to me that a number of people in my community would not want to attend a Tony Robbins event, but would attend an event with the same transformational outcome if I were to host it.
I went to work and immersed myself in the studio of want I wanted to offer at my own event.
I invested more than 10,000 hours over two and a half years, studying mindset and business success tips, tools, techniques and strategies from Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn, and a large number of other folks who had devoted their lives to this type of work, to develop the Free The Dream Core Message.
I started small by hosting some live workshops in our Next Level Studio space. Once I had successfully sold out several workshops, I had the confidence needed to host our very first Free The Dream Conference in September 2018.
I took the biggest risk that I'd taken since leaving my career as an insurance agent back in January 2008, by launching the Free The Dream Conference.
I had NO IDEA how to much a conference.
I had desire to have 300 people attend that first event.
I didn't hit my goal.
However, 87 people did attend!
Of those 87, one person traveled all the way from France and another all the way from Germany.
And then…. What happened at that very first Free The Dream event was beyond what I could have ever imagined!
The video below shows the genuine emotions that I as experiencing the week following the event.
Since the very first recollection of this dream of hosting stadium events, I've come a long way.
I have hired a number of speaking coaches and I've gone to four professional speaking development workshops to help me take my public speaking skills to the Next Level.
Today, I do actually consider myself to be a powerful communicator on a stage in front of a live audience.
In fact, when I step on a stage, in front of a live audience, today, I feel more at home there than anywhere else. Something inside of me just “comes alive.”
Today, I am 100% confident that this dream was meant to lead me to develop the Free The Dream message.
I know, with all of my being, that I was created to share this message with as many people who will be willing to hear it and apply it to their lives.
I feel DRAWN toward filling stadiums with people who are ready to break free from everything that has been holding them back from living the life of their dreams.
I must admit, I still have a lot of personal and professional growth to go through, myself, before I fill a stadium.
However, I'm taking consistent steps forward toward that dream.
I'm writing these words with only 62 days until the second annual Free The Dream Conference.
I'm still trying to figure out how to successfully market a conference such as this.
In this podcast episode, I pull back the curtains and share a behind the scenes look at what I'm doing to market Free The Dream 2019 with the time that I have remaining.

My wife and I host frequent Free The Dream Family Community Calls. These calls are designed to see how members of our community are doing when it comes to implementing the core Free The Dream Message in their pursuit of living the life of their dreams and doing the work they feel most called to do in this world.
Occasionally, I'll connect with someone who who is struggling to get beyond an obstacle that is keeping them from moving, forward, toward the achievement of their dreams. Depending what it is that they are dealing with, I will sometimes offer them a free “hot seat” mentoring session during one of our Free The Dream Community calls.
In this week's episode, I share the audio recording of such a hot seat with my great friend, Colin Yearwood. I know that many people in my community are going to resonate with the two obstacles that Colin shared that were holding him back from taking the actions that he knew he needed to do. More importantly, I hope that many who listen to this will experience the same BREAKTHROUGH that Colin did during the actual call.

As I was washing the dishes, I was thinking about what message that I might share as the closing keynote address for Free The Dream 2019. A few thoughts about discovering, embracing and living fully alive according to our TRUE IDENTITY came to my mind.
After finishing the dishes, I came down to my studio to post production work on the recording of a Free The Dream Family Zoom call that I had hosted. I wanted to make the recording available as a REPLAY for those who were unable to join live.
However, before starting that post production work, I felt compelled to go live on Facebook to talk about how important it is that we discover, embrace and live our lives fully according to our TRUE IDENTITY.
What happened next was quite serendipitous. I'm not certain if this will end up being the topic that I share as my closing keynote for Free The Dream this year. However, after I finished recording this, I was CERTAIN that those who caught this live were meant to hear what I shared and I was equally certain that the audio recording was supposed to be this episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.

Crystal Foth has been a member of my community since 2013. Over the years, I have the honor of getting to know more and more about her and what her dreams are.
One year ago, I was producing daily video content to help get the word out about the Free The Dream Conference. I noticed that Crystal had been leaving amazing feedback related to what I was sharing. However, I was surprised that she had not yet signed up for the conference.
I reached out to Crystal to ask her why.
Below are a few “excerpts” from her email response.
Wow! I can't thank you enough for the personal message…. in fact I've been paralyzed when it comes to drafting this reply…. By replying, I have to confront the reasons myself why I'm not buying this ticket already! I've checked on flights/hotel, etc. Money is not the reason, time is a bit of a reason (but I'm willing to make it happen), the biggest reason is FEAR, but of what I'm not sure.
Since 2013 … I've longed to create a business that would fully support my family and let me live my fullest life…. On my desk, I have a handwritten note stating my dream is to build “a creative business that nourishes my soul, inspires others and creates financial abundance.”
What's my problem right? I attended (other event name removed) in 2014 to surround myself with others sharing the same goals and desires. Sitting in front of me that day were (name of couple removed) – and boy have they succeeded! I guess I'm afraid to make another investment and still not make it happen and see others just pass me right by. So what IS stopping me from making it happen? That I feel is buried deep and hasn't risen to the surface to be put into words yet.
I can make excuses because that's what it really would be – I know if I want something bad enough, I CAN make it happen. I've dabbled since 2013 with niche sites, blogs, etc. but not really found my place in all of, not really made any money that would make a difference…
You inspire me so much on a daily basis, I can't thank you enough for putting yourself out there and being 100% transparent and honest and sharing it with the world.
I'm leaving tomorrow for Hawaii, I hope to rest, reflect and make a decision before I return!
In response to Crystal's email, I was immediately inspired to create a new video for my community. (Click Here To See The Video)
In that video, I expressed that Free The Dream was going to be the missing piece of the puzzle that would help her understand why it is that others have passed her by and why it is that she hasn't taken the actions to make her dream a reality.
I boldly proclaimed that, if she came to Free The Dream, she would be unleashed from all that has been holding her back and that she would make more progress toward her dream in the following year than she ever thought possible.
Immediately after watching this video, Crystal signed up for the Conference.
In this week's podcast episode, I share a conversation that I recently had with Crystal, nine months after she attended Free The Dream.
Listen to this episode and you will be inspired by all the amazing things that are a part of Crystal's life today that she said would have never happened had she not attended Free The Dream.
I hope you will listen and hear why she said that attending Free The Dream was the best decisions she's ever made.
Better than that, I hope that you'll stop hesitating and buy your own ticket to Free The Dream 2019 today. Look for Crystal and ask her to show you her actual product that she created!

When my friend, Brian Floyd, was asked… “What does an extraordinary life look like for you at the next level? (a.k.a., What is your dream?), he responded by sharing the future of his dreams.
Brian stated that he would be considered a best selling author who is now producing movies and television shows based upon the stories that he has written.
In further conversation, Brian exclaimed to me, with full confidence, “Cliff, I was born to be a story teller.”
After attending Free The Dream 2018, Brian had a clear action plan for how to go about achieving his dream. When I checked up with Brian, a few months after the event, he had certainly made significant progress in the direction of his dream. However, he shared that he had come across a major road block, holding him back from a certain action that he desired to take on a consistent basis.
When I asked him why he was failing to remain consistent in this behavior, he initially told me that he had no idea what it was, holding him back.
I reminded Brian that “all beliefs have consequences.” I then shared a valuable insight about how to discover the beliefs that are holding him back from living the life that he was created to live.
I asked him to apply that insight, on the spot, and Brian discovered a memory from when he was a teenager. He recalled when his loving, and well respected, uncle spoke a few words that have been etched deep in his heart. Those words created a belief that he was not even consciously aware of.
The best part of this story is that my entire conversation with Brian was recorded and he has given me permission to share this recording with you in this episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.
This podcast episode will give you so many valuable insights into what is keeping you, yourself, from living “fully alive.” As you listen, see you can discover some of your own “hidden” beliefs.

The post 599 – Do You Know What You Were Born To Be? appeared first on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.
I've had the honor of knowing Matt Dobschuetz for several years now. He took my Podcasting A to Z course back in March 2014 and launched a podcast called Porn Free Radio.
I've always been impressed with Matt's journey from starting the podcast, creating a community around his podcast and then creating products and services for his niche audience that allowed him to create a full-time career around doing the work he feels called to do in the world.
Matt came to the Free The Dream Conference last year. During the goal setting workshop, Matt went through the process of outlining a goal that he had been working on for several years. Since then, he's met a great deal of resistance in his pursuit of his dream of publishing a book.
A few months ago, Matt joined the Next Level Mastermind. In this week's episode, you will get to listen in on Matt's third hot seat session with the group. In his hot seat, he brings up his concern over his stalled efforts in the progress of writing his book.
I hope that you will be inspired by Matt's authenticity, transparency, and most importantly, his radical transformation from the beginning of his hot seat to the end of his hot seat.

The post 598 – Getting Beyond The Fear of Failure appeared first on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.
I've had the honor of knowing Matt Dobschuetz for several years now. He took my Podcasting A to Z course back in March 2014 and launched a podcast called Porn Free Radio.
I've always been impressed with Matt's journey from starting the podcast, creating a community around his podcast and then creating products and services for his niche audience that allowed him to create a full-time career around doing the work he feels called to do in the world.
Matt came to the Free The Dream Conference last year. During the goal setting workshop, Matt went through the process of outlining a goal that he had been working on for several years. Since then, he's met a great deal of resistance in his pursuit of his dream of publishing a book.
A few months ago, Matt joined the Next Level Mastermind. In this week's episode, you will get to listen in on Matt's third hot seat session with the group. In his hot seat, he brings up his concern over his stalled efforts in the progress of writing his book.
I hope that you will be inspired by Matt's authenticity, transparency, and most importantly, his radical transformation from the beginning of his hot seat to the end of his hot seat.

It's no secret that I'm pretty authentic and transparent about what I experience in my personal and professional life. It's just who I am. In this episode, I share a bit of feedback from someone who was confused about why I've made some of the decisions that I've made over the past year and a half.
Listening to you over the past few weeks it feels to me that you've started drifting a bit, like there is a lack of clarity of where your focus needs to be. It's like you haven't found your feet yet in your new direction. I can see that you are extremely passionate about your new direction, particular the marriage course with your wife but I can also see that you are frustrated as it is not as financially rewarding as you would like it to be.
This made me ask myself, what would happen if Cliff would coach Cliff?
I did an entire episode of my Audio Journal Podcast in response to the question above.
In this episode, I share an overview of my response to that question, but also answer the following question as well.
I loved your feedback and as I was listening to you I remembered what my original question was that made me decide to write to you.
I was curious what your thoughts were going forward towards your big goal regarding working on your business vs working in your business. I was curious what your thoughts were around that. Do you think it is necessary to grow a team to reach such an amazing goal or could that be done with a small team?
I hope you enjoy my unfiltered and unedited thoughts on this topic.
I hope to see you this September 13-15 at the Free The Dream Conference.

Have you ever had a secret that you tried to hide from everyone and it was simply eating you up inside? Have you ever felt that you needed to deal with and reverse all the consequences of that secret before you ever shared that it happened?
In this episode, I confess a pretty big secret that I've refused to talk about over the past few months. Holding this information inside has caused me a great deal of pain and began to take me off course from living the life for which I was created to live.
Special thanks to my friend, John Nemo, for co-hosting this very special episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.

I've recently had a handful of folks reach out to me to ask if everything was okay. It has been a few weeks since I've produced a podcast episode, sent out an email or even posted on Facebook. Folks were worried, as it was not like me to go radio silent for so long.
The reality is that the past three weeks have been some of the most busy and personally rewarding weeks of my professional life. However, all of my time, effort and energy were poured into small groups of people and a handful of individuals.

The post 590 – Why Do People Give Up On Their Dreams? appeared first on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.
In this episode, I talk about the paralyzing results of setting unrealistically high standards for what we produce, whether that be an online course, a live workshop, a conference or even a simple weekly podcast episode. Sometimes, we have limiting beliefs about what it actually takes to create something that adds extremely high value to others.
In this episode, I simply pull three items from my journal that inspired me this week and show how this, alone, can create an incredible amount of value for my audience.
Note: At the end of the episode, I mention that there are only four spots remaining in the very first Thriving Marriage Workshop. Click here To Register Now

My friend, Chris, sent me an email that linked the the photo shared above. His email said…
“Hi Cliff, I saw this post in my LinkedIn feed today. While I understand some of what he’s saying, i.e. entrepreneurship is hard, I just felt that parts of what he said don’t ring true.
I’m curious to know what you think about what he says here. Agree, disagree or it depends?
Have a good one, Chris”
I clicked on the link in the email which took me to a post that Gary Vaynerchuck posted to his LinkedIn account.
Here's what he wrote…
“This is a picture of me.
I'm catching up on some sleep on the floor of an airport between meetings. My videographer captured the picture.
Now, don’t get me wrong … I’m not encouraging anyone to work to the point of burnout or exhaustion. I just want to share my truth and the lifestyle that I’m actually living.
Here are a few points about entrepreneurship and starting your own business that I really want to make sure everyone understands:
1. It’s unbelievably lonely.
2. You have to deal with a lot of mental pressure and stress that comes with being the “last line of defense” at an organization.
3. You need to have the internal strength to deal with the judgement that the outside world deploys on you when (not if) you lose.
4. If you aspire to live a top 1% life aka finding your happiness (i.e. running a business that funds your life on your own terms), you're going to have to work hard and give up some leisure for that to happen … depending on your ambition.
There are so many people who are going to get crushed over the next few years because they're starting companies, when they could've succeeded “within the system” at big companies.
I implore you all to get real self-aware about who you are, and navigate your life around that. Not who you wish you were.”
In this episode, I share my thoughts on Hard Work and Sacrifice and also my direct response to the photo and the words that Gary shared in his post.

In this episode, I talk about the value of validating your products or services before investing your time, effort and energy into the actual creation of those products or services.
The main emphasis of this episode, however, is actually a daily affirmation that means a great deal to me.
I will not focus on what I don’t want to have happen. Instead I am committed to focusing on what I do want to have happen.
*In the episode, I share just how this affirmation applies to the the concept of my process for validating products and services.

Is there an area of your life where you've wanted to experience new results, but found that you keep falling back into your old habits over and over again?
In this episode, I'm going to explain why it is so important to understand that all beliefs have consequences.
Once you learn that all behavior is ultimately “belief driven,” you'll begin to understand why you haven not been able to sustain new, healthier, habits and routines in the past.

In last week's episode, I talked about the fact that you don't need a large audience to make a great living doing the work that you love. The focus of that episode was from a 2008 article by Kevin Kelly that suggested that one only needs 1,000 true fans to make a great living.
In this week's episode, I answer the question… How do you attract 1,000 True Fans?
Let's Work Together:
I mentor coaches, consultants and thought leaders through the transition from an unfulfilling day job to a profitable online business so that you can live the life of your dreams and do the work you feel most called to do in the world.
Over the past decade, I have had the privilege and honor of working with folks like Michael Hyatt, Pat Flynn, Amy Porterfield, Ray Edwards, John Lee Dumas, Dan Miller and thousands of others on the successful launch of their audio podcasts. The most exciting part of my work, with many of these folks, has been helping them create and build a profitable online business around their podcasting efforts.

Have you ever heard of the article titled “1000 True Fans” by Kevin Kelly?
This article came out at a powerful moment in my life, back in 2008, just after I transitioned into full-time self employment.
I was looking to find a way to build a profitable business around the content, products and services that I created.
Sure, I was blessed to have already grown a relatively nice sized audience from my first two years of podcasting as a hobby.
However, I was not famous and I certainly didn't have millions of fans.
I'll admit that I had a bit of anxiety about whether or not I'd be able to build my audience to a level that would allow me to be successful with my new business venture.
However, when this article came it, it gave me a great sense of peace.
Kevin Kelly wrote…. “To be a successful creator you don’t need millions. You don’t need millions of dollars or millions of customers, or millions of fans. To make a living as a craftsperson, photographer, musician, designer, author, animator, app maker, entrepreneur, or inventor you need only thousands of true fans.”
You only need 1,000 true fans!
Kevin described a true fan as someone that will buy anything you produce.
He wrote… “These diehard fans will drive 200 miles to see you sing; they will buy the hardback and paperback and audible versions of your book; they will purchase your next figurine sight unseen; they will pay for the “best-of” DVD version of your free youtube channel; they will come to your chef’s table once a month.”
In today's language, a true fan is someone who…
- will travel to your live event.
- will buy your book.
- will sign up for your course.
- will subscribe and follow you on every social media channel.
- and will share you work with everyone that they know!
Simply put…. A true fan is someone who dedicated to you and your message.
Can you really make a living with just 1,000 true fans?
Yes!
Note: We are talking about “making a living” not “making a fortune.”
The following is the math that Kevin Kelly shared to explain what he meant…
“Here’s how the math works. You need to meet two criteria. First, you have to create enough each year that you can earn, on average, $100 profit from each true fan. That is easier to do in some arts and businesses than others, but it is a good creative challenge in every area because it is always easier and better to give your existing customers more, than it is to find new fans.
Second, you must have a direct relationship with your fans. That is, they must pay you directly. You get to keep all of their support, unlike the small percent of their fees you might get from a music label, publisher, studio, retailer, or other intermediate. If you keep the full $100 of profit from each true fan, then you need only 1,000 of them to earn $100,000 per year. That’s a living for most folks.”
Heres' the thing….
You could have 500 true fans and create products and services that allowed you to earn merely $200 in profit, per year, from each true fan and you'd still earn $100,000 per year.
The whole point is not that you need exactly 1,000 true fans. It's not even about the exact amount of $100,000 per year.
The point is that YOU CAN MAKING A LIVING DOING WHAT YOU LOVE and you don't have to be famous to do so!
Just imagine all the people who are working a day job, doing work that they hate, just to earn $30,000 per year.
Any one of these individuals could start some sort of “side job” where they simply grow a community of only 300 true fans who will buy products that will net them $100 per year, in profit, from each true fan to replace that soul sucking day job.
If you haven't done so, I encourage you to read the whole article by Kevin Kelly.
After doing so, you'll understand why I always tell people to…
STOP FOCUSING on THE NUMBERS and GROWING YOUR AUDIENCE and STAY FOCUSED on BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS with those who are already in your audience.
Here's the truth though…
Kevin said it like this…
“The truth is that cultivating a thousand true fans is time consuming, sometimes nerve racking, and not for everyone. Done well (and why not do it well?) it can become another full-time job. At best it will be a consuming and challenging part-time task that requires ongoing skills. There are many creators who don’t want to deal with fans, and honestly should not.”
While this approach is not for everyone. I have found that those who are willing to go this rout are able to find success in serving a specialized niche audience that can't be served by companies that are ill equipped to serve the focused interests of such small number of people.
There is so much opportunity out there for you if you are willing to invest in relationships with people who connect with you and your message.
I hope that you will find some encouragement and inspiration from this message.
Sincerely,
Cliff

There are times when things don't turn out the way that we expected that they should go. This leads to unhappiness.
In this episode I share what happens when we trade our expectation for appreciation and how I've recently had to apply this truth in my own life as a result of something that didn't go my way in my business.

The first half of this week's episode is a personal update about why I've decided to jump back into the habit of waking up at 4:30am every day. In the episode, I mentioned that I did a vlog episode on the topic of how this was easy for me to accomplish. You can watch my vlog on the topic of THE POWER OF LEVERAGE by clicking here.
The second half of this episode is actually the audio from a video that I created for my YouTube channel to market the Next Level Mastermind. The topic is ISOLATION, the silent killer of most people's dreams and businesses.

One thing I've learned over the past decade is that there seems to be endless opportunties when it comes to generating an income with your internet connection.
In this episode, I feature a weird mix between a conversation and an interview with my great friend, Jake Lang. I'm still trying to navigate the concept of having guests on this podcast.
Jake has had a unique journey in creating an online business. While he did not experience great success with his first two online business pursuits, he did land on a niche business that has generated enough income that has him on the path of leaving his day job within the very near future.

“Your life will be the direct reflection of the expectations of your peer group.” – Tony Robbins
I fell in love with that quote the instant I heard it at one of Tony's Unleash The Power Within events.
Jim Rohn said it this way… “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”
If there is an area of your life that is not going as well as you would like, you may need to investigate who has the most influence, in your life, in this area.
It may be time to “upgrade your peer group.”
My first full year of full-time self-employment was riddled with self-doubt, overwhelm from all that I was being told I needed to do, and lack of clarity of what I needed to focus on next. As a result, that first year was the most difficult year, financially, that I have ever experienced in my lifetime.
I can tell tell you that those difficult times were definitely worth it. However, with that said, looking back from the perspective of knowing what I know today, I now realize that things didn't have to be quite so hard.
For me, everything changed in October 2010, when I discovered “the mastermind principle” and launched my very first “mastermind group.”
I define a mastermind as “a small group of people who meet on a consistent basis, where every member of the group is 100% committed to the success of every other member in the group.”
The concept of the mastermind was formally introduced by Napoleon Hill in his book, “Think and Grow Rich.”
Hill stated, that through your participation in a healthy mastermind group, “you may borrow and use the education, the experience, the influence and perhaps the capital of other people in carrying out your own plans in life.”
The Green Room Mastermind
In October 2010, I was working with Pat Flynn, helping him launch his “Smart Passive Income” podcast. Through our conversations, I learned that he had recently discovered the mastermind principle as well. I knew that Pat was someone that I would trust to enter into a mastermind relationship with, so I asked him if he would join me in the start of our own mastermind group. He said yes and our personal and professional lives have grown in ways that neither of us would have imagined at the time.
Our mastermind group has met for one hour, every week since. Today, our group is known as the “Green Room Mastermind Group” which is made up of myself, Pat Flynn (Smart Passive Income), Michael Stelzner (Social Media Examiner), Ray Edwards (Ray Edwards International), Mark Mason (Late Night Internet Marketing) and Leslie Samuel (Become A Blogger).
The Green Room Mastermind is not open to new members. However, for more than eight years, I've facilitated a number of paid mastermind groups where it gives me great joy to see others experience the following benefits of being in a healthy mastermind group.
- You benefit greatly from the the education, the experience, the influence and even the resources of the other people in your mastermind group.
- You can accomplish more, in one year, than you could accomplish, without your mastermind group, in a lifetime, if you relied entirely on your own efforts for success.
- When you form a true mastermind alliance with others, and work with them in a spirit of perfect harmony, you can draw freely upon the spiritual forces within you in carrying out your plans and desires.
- The mastermind principle can give you protection against failure, provided always that your purpose, in using this principle, is beneficial to all whom you influence.
- You will experience dramatic improvements in both your personal and professional life.
- You will have more focus and greater confidence in yourself and your abilities.
- You will have more clarity about what you need to focus on next.
- You will have the momentum and energy that you need to sustain you through the rough spots
- You will experience less false starts and spend less time learning through trial and error.
- You will have a deeper understanding of how you are perceived by others.
- You will sharpen your leadership and communication skills.
- You will be giving and receiving in an warm and friendly environment
- You will achieve your goals faster than you ever dreamed possible.
The Next Level Mastermind
In November 2017, I launched the Next Level Mastermind.
This is a paid mastermind group for those who are on the journey of full-time self-employment.
I recently recorded a brand new promotional video for the Next Level Mastermind. However, in this video, I did something completely different than any other marketing material I've created in the past.
In the past, I would host a webinar, or just create a pre-recorded video, where I would talk about each of the benefits of being in a mastermind group and tell stories of how those benefits had rang true in my own journey.
I thought it would be interesting if I actually used one of our group's “open hot seats” where I would simply say the benefit and allow existing members of the Next Level Mastermind share how these benefits have been experienced in their own lives.
If you are wondering why anyone would pay $1,000 per month and commit to a 90 minute meeting, every single week, during their most productive hours of their work week, I would highly encourage you to watch this video.
Who are the most influential people in your life when it comes to how you think about the direction you are heading in your business?
Is it time to upgrade your peer group?

Each month, I will take on one or two new “one-on-one mentoring” clients. I had the great honor of working with Clint Schumacher in a mentoring capacity from December 2017 through the first few months of 2018.
Recently, Clint wrote the following to me in an email… “So excited to hear that the Free the Dream conference was a huge success! Excited for you and your impact! At some point, I need to send you an update on exciting life events that I’ve walked into since our mentoring sessions. In shortest summary, I’ve never felt more alive and secure in walking in God’s path for me than I have in 2018.”
I could just tell that this was going to be an incredible follow up call. I had the crazy idea of asking Clint if he would mind me recording our conversation to use as a podcast episode. He graciously agreed to do so and that conversation, featuring many of the insights that Clint gained from our mentoring sessions, is the focus of this week's episode.

The post 564 – Dream Together appeared first on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.
We are now only one week away from the Free The Dream Conference. It's been a full year since I first announced my desire to host this event. Over the past year, I've shared that my goal is to have a minimum of 300 people attend.
As of right, all evidence points to the fact that we'll end up with approximately 1/3 of the audience size that I had hoped to attract. In this episode of the podcast, I ask myself a very important question… “What Does This Mean?”

I'm currently in the middle of a series of podcast episodes where I introduce you to those who will be speaking at the Free The Dream Conference this September in Franklin Tennessee. In this episode, I introduce you to my friend, Dan Miller, author of 48 Days To The Work You Love.
My life changed when I read Dan's New York Times best-selling book titled “48 Days To The Work You Love.” I have had the honor and privilege of having Dan as a personal friend, and business mentor, for the past decade.
What does it mean to be fully alive in your work? Many of us are not yet doing what God put us here to do. Dan looks at the changing work models and outlines a plan for integrating your dreams and your passions into your daily activities. If you’ve ever buried your dreams in an attempt to be “practical” or “realistic,” Dan will show you how embracing those very dreams is the most practical way to enjoy life and achieve the success you’re looking for.

In this episode, I introduce you to my great friend, Leslie Samuel. The purpose of this episode give you a little glimpse of who Leslie is and how he shows up in this world. Leslie will not only be speaking at the Free The Dream conference this September, he's actually going to be the emcee for the event.
Leslie Samuel is a close, personal, friend and member of my Green Room Mastermind. Leslie has inspired me over the past decade as I have watched him consistently accomplish so many of his “dreams” in life.
My favorite story is how he had a dream of becoming a university professor, teaching Biology. Not having the desire to pursue the required PHD, he founded and later sold Interactive Biology, a blog dedicated to making biology fun for students and teachers worldwide. This blog landed him his dream job as a university professor in a doctoral program.
After three years, he left that job to pursue his new dream of being full-time self employed. His desire was to have the freedom to spend more time with his family and focus on doing the work that mattered most to him.
Leslie is also a very dynamic communicator with a powerful message.
I'm honored that Leslie will not only be speaking at Free The Dream, but will also play the role as our official emcee for the event.
There is no doubt that you will remain full of energy and excitement throughout the whole conference.

In this week's episode, I'm excited to introduce you to my great friend, John C. Morgan.
John has traveled as “the face” of President George W. Bush at corporate, comedic, and faith-based events around the world, bringing joy and inspiration to millions of astonished people who might otherwise never have an audience with America's Commander in Chief. John was awarded America's # 1 Bush Impressionist along with two “Mirror Image” awards and a 2005 Cloney award for “Best Historical Impersonation” voted on by his peers.
Do you struggle with the fear of public speaking, starting that book, or launching that business?
John Morgan gets it. He is gifted with many abilities, but bullying and abuse he encountered, robbed him of belief in himself and his dream. Overcoming this, he has traveled the globe, sharing the stage with presidents and celebrities. You may have seen him on tour with WinterJam, Or Jamming with Mike Huckabee. On tour with Promise Keepers, with Fox news correspondent Sean Hannity. Or on hundreds of television programs.
He understands the nuances of how fear can hold back your dreams. So much so, that is new book “War on Fear,” a five star rated best seller, is transforming lives and freeing dreams.

A few weeks ago, I shared that I would definitely be under 180 pounds by May 30th. This morning, one of my mentoring clients asked me if I had hit my goal of 180 last week. I told him that I'd share my results in this week's podcast episode. That is the focus on this episode.

Recently, my friend, Kris Pavone, joined the Next Level Mastermind and introduced himself to the group in our discussion forum. In the introduction, he wrote that… “I am a podcaster and success coach. I help men between the ages of 30-50 who feel frustrated, stuck, and are ready to change, gain clarity and take action so they can live the life of their dreams!”
One of the ladies in our group responded by saying… “I've been listening to your podcast and even though I don't fit your demographic, I always enjoy them!”
Shortly after that post, another one of the ladies in the group wrote… ” I agree with Tammy. I jumped on and listened to your podcast and felt right at home. I have to admit that I'm still struggling a bit with the idea of narrowing my target audience. I trust those who tell me I should but it seems so…limiting. Yet, listening to your podcast I didn't have that experience. (I'm obviously still pondering… Thanks for the great example!”
I felt compelled to add my thoughts on narrowing your target audience and I related it to a story of when I was being taught archery at a summer camp that I attended as a child.
This was the first time I'd ever thought to use archery as and example for teaching about the value of having a narrow target (focus) for your audience and how this does not “LIMIT” you from reaching others who do not fit that exact description. I decided that it would be a perfect topic for a podcast episode and that is how this week's episode came to be.

In this week's podcast, I feature a conversation that I had with Mark Struczewski when I was interviewed on his podcast. In this conversation, we talk about why most people have given up on the idea of pursuing their dream. It is my hope that our conversation will inspire some to start day dreaming about how life could be if they only “fill in the blank….”

What we believe has a radical impact on the decisions that we make, and therefore the results that we get in life. In this episode, I share how changing my belief about my IDENTITY allowed me to get to the place where I was finally able to become the MASTER of my physical body. While this episode talks about my “fitness journey,” the principle of changing your belief about who you are (your identity) can apply to every aspect of your life.

This episode is two hours long. However, I am 100% convinced that it is worth every single minute of your time as a result of the powerful truth that I share. Do you believe that it is true that “You always have plenty of money for EVERYTHING you truly want?” When I first heard this statement, it shocked me. However, I began evaluating my entire life and realized that I could never find a single instance where this was not true. I've since accepted this as a “fact” and one that I live by today. Since I adopted this belief, my life has been radically altered.

In this episode, I talk about a problem that so many of us face, from time to time, in our business pursuits. The problem is that we tend to amass an ever-growing list of to do items. Even worse, we convince ourselves that everything on these lists are important. The result? We end up doing a ton of activity in our business but find that we have very little clarity about what it is that we are trying to achieve. In this episode, I share why it might be time to ditch your current to list and simply ask yourself a question or two to gain some clarity.

I recently had a potential client ask me how much I charge for my one-on-one mentoring package. When I gave him the details, he wrote back… “Geez, my Harvard educated attorney doesn’t charge that much. Come to think of it, my accountant wouldn’t approve such a major expense, and as you saw on the Mastermind Application, I am doing fairly successful with my online business pursuits. How do you justify your rates! It’s either a new set of tires or 3 conversations with you. Tough choice!”
How would you respond to this statement? How confident are you in the value that you bring to your clients?
In this episode, I share how I responded to this. I hope you find my experience valuable in helping you gain more confidence in the value that you offer.
The Six Questions Mentioned In The Episode:
1. What are my 3-5 unique qualities?

There are a large number of things that I am proud to have accomplished over the past several years. However, I'm often asked the question… “Cliff, with all that you have going on, how do you manage to get it all done?”
In this podcast episode, I not only explain that I DO NOT get it all done, but also why I don't even try to “get it all done.”
Here are the six affirmations that I ended up sharing in the episode.
-
I always have plenty of time for all of the things that I'm truly committed to.
-
I always make time for the things that are most important to me.
-
My goal in life is not to manage time, but to always be living a fulfilling life devoted to consistent growth and contribution.
-
I'm always at the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing.
-
My time, money, energy, ability and reputation are my most valued assets. I invest these assets with the right clients, prospects, associates and friends.
-
There are so many demands for my attention in life. I am committed to deciding, in advance, what I am going to focus on, so that my life is not controlled by the focus of someone or something else.

About ten years ago, I heard the parable of “The Mexican Fisherman” for the first time.
Back then, I totally bought into the message of the story. The message, as I interpreted it, was that we should avoid building a big business as a means of building wealth. Instead, we should be satisfied doing the work that allows us to meet our needs and enjoy the simple/important things in life.
Lately, I've been thinking about how this parable presents a false dichotomy. In this episode, I share why I feel that hundreds of people's lives, including the lives of his wife and children, would benefit from him building the bigger boat and growing his business.

I was recently interviewed on the Grace On Fire podcast hosted by Dr. Jonathan G Smith. In the interview, I shared four limiting beliefs that will keep you from living the life for which you were created.
I had intended to cover this as a topic on my show at some point in the future. However, what I was sharing came out so great in this interview that I asked Jonathan if I could simply use my recording of the interview as an episode of my own podcast. He was happy to give me permission to do so.
If you have ever struggled with any of these limiting belief, I sincerely hope that what I shared will help you help you experience a mindset shift so that you can be freed up to pursue the life for which you were created.

Every time I interact with someone who is building their own online business, I ask them… “What is the single greatest frustration that you are facing, right now, when it comes to growing your online business?”
One of the most common responses is FOCUS or LACK OF FOCUS. One person responded this question by saying… “I Have So Many Income Stream Opportunities, But I Can’t Seem To Stay Focused On One!” I totally understand this problem.
In this week's episode, I share how I've recently faced this exact issue of deciding where I needed to focus my time, effort and energy when it comes to a completely new set of income streams that I'm looking to pursue in the next year.
More importantly, I share 21 separate tips that will help you stay focused on what is most important to you.

Did you know that half of all businesses are closed within their first year, 80% are gone within five years and that 96% of all businesses fail within 10 years? That means that only 4% of a businesses last more than 10 years. That just means that they are “still standing,” even if they are not “profitable.”
I know just how difficult it is to get an online business off the ground. In 2008, I left a successful 12-year career as an insurance agent to pursue my own journey of full-time, self-employment, so that I could do the work that I felt most called to do in this world.
I am so thankful for all the sales training and customer service experience that those 12 years as an insurance agent provided. However, having lived a lifetime as an “employee” up to that point, I realized, real quickly, just how much I didn't know about what it took to actually own and operate my own business.
My first full year of full-time self-employment was riddled with self-doubt, overwhelm from all that I was being told I needed to do, and lack of clarity of what I needed to focus on next. As a result, that first year was the most difficult year, financially, that I have ever experienced in my lifetime.
I can tell tell you that those difficult times were definitely worth it. However, with that said, looking back from the perspective of knowing what I know today, I now realize that things didn't have to be quite so hard.
In this episode, I share how my involvement in a healthy mastermind group helped turn everything around for me and my business. I explain what a mastermind group is and the ten benefits that you would receive by getting involved in a healthy mastermind group for yourself.

Growing up, I had always been taught that New Years Resolutions simply don't work. The idea is that in the new year, a person will resolve to get rid of an undesired habit, to accomplish a personal goal or to commit to something that will improve their life in some way.
As a young guy, I had attempted to set lifestyle goals for myself. However, somewhere around middle school, I became convinced that everyone was right… these things just don't work.
Unfortunately, as a result, I had pretty much given up on “goal setting” all-together. Well, that's not completely true. There were times when I had a strong desire, where I set my mind on a goal that I wanted to achieve and where I remained focused on that goal until I achieved the outcome that I desired. However, these experiences were random and were not a part of any sort of “routine” of goal setting in my normal life. However, that all changed in 2009!
It was in 2009 that I was first introduced the to step-by-step formula for achieving any goal that you remain focused on. In this podcast episode, I share how I immediately put that step-by-step formula to the test and the results that I got from that test.
Since then, I've been HOOKED ON SETTING GOALS and have achieved so many things that, when I look back, I am amazed at what I've been accomplished. In this episode, I share the step-by-step formula that you, also, can use to achieve any goal that you decide to remain focused on.
Note: As the episode progressed, I realized that I wanted to add a fifth step the original four step process. Below is a list list of the revised five step formula for achieving your goals.
Step 1 – Believe it is possible.
Step 2 – Decide to set it as a goal.
Step 3 – Write it down.
Step 4 – Tell others about it.
Step 5 – Work the plan as it becomes available.

I am a follower of Jesus who authentically attempts to live out my faith (though I may fail miserably at times) in a way that encourages others. When asked,I am always prepared to give a reason for the hope that I have in Jesus with gentleness and respect.

You've probably known several people, over the years, that where involved in an unhealthy relationship with someone and was simply unable to see all the warning signs that things needed to change.
Over the years, I've done a lot of one-on-one and group mentoring with people who are full-time self-employed, or who are pursuing self-employment, that are very much involved in an unhealthy relationship that is holding them back from achieving financial success in their business.
I'm not referring to their relationship with another person. Instead, I've notice that most full-time, self-employed, individuals seem to have a very unhealthy relationship with MONEY. All the warning signs are there. However, until they do something to cultivate a healthy relationship with money, they will never be able to generate great wealth.
In this week's episode, I share why I believe that every self employed person can cultivate a healthy relationship with money and DRASTICALLY increase their income by reflecting, daily, on six affirmations related to money.
Affirmation 1
– Money can provide value to everyone if we allow it to FLOW.
Affirmation 2
– I always have plenty of money for all the things I truly want.
Affirmation 3
– God's wealth circulates in my life in avalanches of abundance. All my needs, desires and goals are met instantaneously, for I am one with God and He is EVERYTHING.
Affirmation 4
– I am grateful for all the abundance I have and I invite even more into my life.
Affirmation 5
– I am financially wealthy. However it is not my power or strength that has produced this wealth for me. It is God who has gifted me with the ability to produce wealth. – Deuteronomy 8:17-18 (NIV)
Affirmation 6
– I AM RICH in this present world. However, I will not allow this to make me an arrogant person. I will not put my hope in my financial wealth, which is so uncertain. Instead, I place my hope in God, who RICHLY PROVIDES ME WITH EVERYTHING FOR MY ENJOYMENT. I am committed to do good, to also be rich in good deeds. I am a generous man who is devoted to sharing. – 1 Timothy 6:17-18 (NIV)
In Summary… For the past few years, I've made it a point to read these affirmations (and many many more) on a daily basis. Just recently, I was inspired by my great friend, Kent Julian, to use the REMINDERS APP on my iPhone to have these pop up on a daily basis.
Because of these daily affirmations, I've established a healthier relationship with money. As a result, I found that my income has increased drastically, week by week, month by month and year by year.

In this week's episode, I'm super delighted to have my great friend, Ray Edwards, in studio with me here at the Next Level Studio. We had a wonderful conversation about our Ray's initial reaction to The Big Leap and how I inspired him to take a second look at the book. Also, we discuss how to discover what your Zone of Genius is.

This week's episode is very different from the content that I normally share in this podcast. The main difference is that this week's episode is very “faith focused.”
I am in Anaheim, California for Podcast Movement 2017. My great friend, Phil Mershon had been wanting to have me as a guest on his podcast and I inviting him to come up to my room and we could knock out the interview while were both here at the event. Knowing that I needed to create an episode of my own this week, I asked Phil if he minded if I used the recording for my own show.
This episode is the actual recording of where Phil interviewed me for his “Man In The Pew” podcast.

Recently, my friend, Tammy Adams, provided a question for me to use as a topic for one of my YouTube VLOG episodes. However, when I started to think about how I would answer her question, I knew that the length of time that I wanted to spend answering this question, would make this better suited for a podcast episode.
Tammy's question was… “What do you think is the #1 reason people struggle to get their small businesses jump started and earning a decent income?” I share what I feel may be the top five reasons in this episode.
Here are a few reasons that I can think of.
They feel uncomfortable charging people money for something that comes so naturally to them. They feel that their “gifts and talents” should be offered freely to others.
They don’t feel confident in charging ENOUGH money for their products and services to allow them to operate a “profitable” and “responsible” business.
They have not been able to find the INTERSECTION between the MARKET PLACE and their gifts, talents, passions, experience, and areas of expertise.
They are too focused on where they are going to earn their next dollar and take little, to no, time evaluating where they want their business to be in the next five to ten years.
They failed to prepare for the fact that running a business requires more time than just doing the “activity” that generates their income.

I recently published a video where I gave a tour of my Next Level Studio. This prompted one individual to write a comment on the video (which this person has since deleted). That comment said….
Cliff, you have a LOT of stuff. Do you really need all of that? I mean as a self proclaimed Christian, (I’m anti religion btw) couldn’t you help more people by doing more with less and donating all the money you put into that stuff? … It’s none of my business how you spend your money but I feel like some of you guys that teach entrepreneurship to guys who have little income are kind of rubbing your success in our faces. I know that’s not your intention but do you ever think about what you’re actually putting out there? (No I'm not your audience, and no I don’t have a podcast, and no I haven’t worked as hard as you online, but yes I work hard every day and face my battles as they come)
This episode is my response to the questions posed in this comment.

In this episode, I share some thoughts about the mindset of what people are paying for when they hire you for an hour of one-on-one coaching and/or consulting. When people pay you (whatever amount), they are not paying for an hour of your time, they are paying for access to the years of experience, knowledge and wisdom that you bring to the table.
I hope that this episode will inspire you to create a document where you can begin to take an inventory of all the value that you bring to the table. As you continue to grow, learning and experiencing new things (Including Failure), you'll be able to add to this list, increasing the value that you have to offer others.

The concept of “pricing” was one of the greatest sources of anxiety for me in the early days of building my own online business. Over the past decade, I've seen that “deciding how much to charge” is a huge pain point for others who are creating products and services.
Almost everyone undervalues what they do and have to offer and, as a result, charge way too little. In this episode, I share what I have learned from my own experience with pricing over the years. I explain why people actually want to pay you more money. Listen to this episode to learn seven ways that doubling your rates, overnight, will double your success.

In this week's episode, I'm joined my great friend, Tim Schmoyer from VideoCreators.com.
Tim has been working on the plans for his own live event and invited me to lunch to talk about how things went with my Next Level Workshop this past weekend. He wanted to know what I sort of things that I did that went really well, what would I do differently, etc.
I figured that there might be some of you who will eventually host your own live events and that our conversation would be valuable if it were recorded. That is what you are getting in this episode. Two friends, who each operate a very successful online business, sharing ideas and thoughts about planning live events.
I hope you enjoy.
