The E Myth Revisited with Michael E GerberHe started off framing homes, because he liked working with his hands. He did so well, he became the person that fixed the mistakes that other framers make.When moving to northern California to set up his own business, his brother-in-law asked him to help him with his Silicon Valley advertising agency clients who were having difficulty in converting leads to sales.Michael didn't know anything about that, but with a willing heart, he rolled up his sleeves to help. Starting off with Bob, who had a high-tech company, and a ton of leads that were created for him, Michael was pushed into something that he wasn't certain about when he started. But the owner of the company, his brother-in-law. told him that he knew that he (Michael) knew more than he thinks he knows. And so Michael was pushed into an industry that was totally new, and was put to the task to help a company in an area that was completely foreign to him. Humorously, this first client asked Michael what he knew about his business, to which Michael answered, "nothing."A little disconcerted, he asked him what he knew about his product, to which Michael answered, "less than that." Even more unsettled, Bob (the first client) asked, then how can you help me. To which Michael said that the advertising agency owner was certain he (Michael) could help him, so let's find out. Here he is, a house-framer, and thrust into a conversation about something that he believed he didn't have any knowledge about. Thus, Michael began asking the business owner questions to find out what he (the owner) knows about. And as he went down this path, Michael found that the business owner's answers about his own business were all anecdotal... And he learned that the business owner didn't know anything about business, but he owned one...Today:Inc. Magazine calls him “the World’s #1 Small Business Guru” — the entrepreneurial and small business thought leader who has impacted the lives of millions of small business owners and hundreds of thousands of companies worldwide for over 40 years.Michael E. Gerber is the author of the NY Times mega-bestseller, for two consecutive decades, "The E-Myth Revisited" and nine other worldwide best-selling E-Myth books concerning small business entrepreneurship, leadership, and management.Please share with someone you believe would be helped by this episode.Looking for guidance & wisdom to help you in your life, career & business?

That’s when she started her own coaching business. In the following year, she was making 6 figures, and it has been upwards for Bri since then.

Scaling from 1 to 100 with Henry MaHe started off in investment banking after graduating from NYU with a degree in finance and economics, but little did he know that would be something completely different from what he’s doing now. Henry enjoyed the challenge of working in investment banking, but it was less fulfilling than he had thought in terms of growing and scaling. He discovered that he likes to focus on more than just the financial aspects of a business. This led him to wanting to see where he could add value inside of a business to take it from 1-100. And he’s really enjoyed his journey figuring everything out along the way.Henry took some of the lessons he learned through his career in investment banking and applied some of the financial principles to look at the financial health of a business from an ongoing standpoint. He has been able to grow in more than just the financial side of a business given his current role. As an entrepreneur you have to enjoy the process Henry says. He grew up around sewing and embroidery machines, and his experience in investment banking helped him propel into his role today. Even though he started out with sewing machines and embroidery machines, it has branched off to a lot more. His vision of Ricoma is to become the one stop shop and have different solutions for apparel decorators. The saying behind the scenes at Ricoma is, “as long as people wear clothes, we’re going to be in business”. His core mission is to help entrepreneurs who want to get into the business with different technology. Whether that’s equipment, software, training and supporting them. He wants to help get them started in this business and help them scale it.Today:Henry Ma is a business expert who helped over 3,000 startups and established business owners in over 150 countries grow their decorated apparel businesses in his role as CEO of the embroidery machine manufacturer, Ricoma.

The Values Factor with Dr John DemartiniHe was challenged as a child with learning. His first grade teacher told his parents he'll never be able to read or write or communicate effectively, go very far in life or amount to much. But he made it through his classes in school by asking questions of the smartest kids until he was 12 as the family then moved. There weren't "smart kids" to help him at the new school he went to, and he wound up failing and dropping out of school.Being a "street-kid" around the age of 13/14, he hitchhiked to California when 14, and then moved on to Mexico and eventually Hawaii when 15. While just getting by and surfing, he nearly died when 17. In recovering, he was led to a one-hour class by Paul C Bragg and inspired that he could overcome his learning problems and someday become intelligent. What he did next, and how he solved his learning disability is not only astounding to hear, but that method is completely sound and perfectly workable today if you want to greatly improve your own learning capabilities.Today:Dr John Demartini is a human behavior specialist, International best-selling author, educator, founder of the Demartini Institute and the author of 40 books that have been translated into 39 languages.

The Courage to Change with Ken D FosterIt all started for him when he was getting therapy. After one year, he told his doctor that he keeps hearing this voice that says, "you have to feel the pain to make the change." In reply, the doctor said, "I can no longer help you. You need to follow that voice." He eventually realized that it was the Voice of Change, the Voice of Courage, the Voice of Truth. The next day he walked into a recovery center and his whole world changed from there. This started a new pattern of his looking within on a continuous basis, and to stop looking outside of himself for all the answers. Through this, in his life, he's had a lot of wealth, and he lost it a few times and learned the secrets of success through failure. He says, "we need to fail forward to be able to let go of some of the ego that is stopping us and are limiting us from really expanding who we are and becoming the best version of ourselves."How do you grow courage? Today:Ken D Foster is a keynote speaker, business strategist, and syndicated radio host of the “Voices of Courage” show, heard in more than 162 countries. The best-selling author of seven books, he has been featured in hundreds of radio shows, webinars, and TV networks, as well as on the cover of Triathlon Magazine and many other publications.

Winning Customer Love with Howard TierskyHis background is a professional theatre director, before the Internet got very commercialized. But, his side-job was in graphic design to help meet with the rise in demand for businesses that wanted web sites.He learned that his love for creating theatrical experiences fit well with creating digital experiences for his clients: bringing together technology and creativity, telling a story, engaging with an audience and creating an experience that people could interact with in one way or another.With the rise in the Internet, and as the capabilities became greater, he became consumed with it and eventually quit theatre directing.

Richard Sterban - From Elvis to Elvira
Prior to joining The Oak Ridge Boys in 1972, Richard Sterban sang with various groups, eventually joining J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, which afforded him the opportunity of a lifetime—the chance to sing with Elvis, the King of Rock and Roll, singing with him every night on stage, recording with him, and appearing in one of his movies (Elvis on Tour).
It was during this time in the midst of Elvis’ heyday that Richard was offered the position as bass singer for The Oak Ridge Boys, and he had to make a major decision—remain on the big stage or chase his own dream.
The Oak Ridge Boys have one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. Their string of hits includes the pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Y’All Come Back Saloon and many others.
