We all know that building a successful business and brand is the key to success - but what do those words actually mean? While many people use the words “brand” and “business” synonymously, they are two very different (but equally important) aspects of generating revenue.

“A business can't survive without profit, and a brand cannot exist without a strong customer base that believes in the company; so that is why you need both.” - Alexa

When it comes to business, it’s hard to not let emotions get in the way. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed or frustrated in certain situations but when emotion starts to take a toll on your business, your decisions, and your team - that is when you need to start figuring out WHY you have these emotions.

Emotion is a form of energy. We feel angry or sad and that energy is shown through the actions we take either verbally or physically. As a leader, you have to always show up for your team, and learning how to harness your emotions and respond to situations instead of reacting is the key to great leadership and efficient business operations.

Listen in to this episode as I sit down with Deb Shannon, my partner in Marketing by Modification, and talk about emotions in business and how to manage them.

[5:50] Stop making things personal
[8:00] Your role and your identity aren’t the same things
[9:30] Managing your emotions in business
[11:00] - It is about wanting to get just a little bit better
[13:15] - As a leader, you always have to show up for your team
[15:25] - Stop focusing on what you are getting and focus on what your team is getting
[16:25] - Insecurity as a leader

[22:20] - Communication is the antidote against negativity

“People conflate their roles and their identities but they aren’t the same thing” - Deb

One of the most efficient things you can do for your business is to NOT get emotional when it comes to your business decisions. As entrepreneurs, we can end up reacting before responding and because of this, we make harmful decisions when it comes to clients, businesses, and employees.

Description:

As an entrepreneur, you are going to be under pressure constantly and it is up to you to push
through the pressure and see it as a goal rather than a challenge.
In my opinion, pressure is one of the main reasons businesses fail because the owners can’t
handle the pressure they are put in to succeed and manage their business. Don’t let the
pressure get in the way of your success.

Key parts of the conversation:

● [0:37] - Today’s Topic - Pressure, the main reason why entrepreneurs fail
● [4:40] Some of the things I do to not buckle under pressure
● [5:00] - 1st thing I do: I handle pressure like it is a game
● [6:37] - 2nd thing I do: Focus on the task at hand and not the outcome
● [7:25] - 3rd thing I do: I take control
● [8:20] - 4th thing I do: Take a deep breath and slow down
● [9:15] - Last thing I do: Share the pressure

Great quotes from the podcast:

● “The people that can handle the pressure are the ones that can succeed”
● “Even with my success I still feel the pressure to succeed every day”
● “I make pressure a fun challenge for myself... This makes me see pressures as not as
threatening”
● “ When you see pressure as a challenge you are taking your attention away from the
pressure”
● “As the owner and CEO, you just have to take control”

Today I am joined by, Duno Clenor. He is a MASTER in the DMs. And, honestly… this is me being SUPER honest… if you are talking to me in the DMs you are probably talking to him or someone on his team! But he basically is me, so LOL…

Because the truth is… as your business gets bigger and bigger, you CAN’T be in the DMs yourself. It’s impossible. So you have to be able to find people who can talk on your behalf and keep things moving, like Duno! But before you can hire someone to do this for you, you MUST know how to have conversations YOURSELF! So, today we are going to discuss exactly that.

Today we will be discussing how to 10x your business in less than 6 months. We at Thynktank Coaching do believe (contrary to what others may think) that there IS a formula to success. Most of the time people can not reach 6-figures because they don’t have the confidence, they don’t have the right offer, or they just are not putting the work in. Reaching 6-figures is NOT hard if you put the effort in and have the right roadmap to get to where you want to go.

In this episode, we are joined by one of our rockstar students T.W. Durfy who was able to not only 10x his business but is continuing to climb the ladder of success. He is such a pleasure to work with and is one of the most positive human beings I have had the pleasure to work with!

I am also joined today by my two business partners, Susie Miller and Tonia Marra.

In today’s podcast, we are talking about why scaling a business alone sucks.

Scaling a business alone doesn’t only “suck” but it is actually really hard to do it alone. So many people think they can build their business alone without the help of others and many fail because of not having help. In fact, 80% of businesses fail within the first 5 years of business. Ouch!

In this episode, we discuss the ins and outs of how you can get help to scale and grow your business with four veteran business owners who not only have scaled 15 businesses, exited 6, but just recently built and scaled a 7-figure business in only 90 days.
