On this episode, I had the chance to sit down with Matt Wahlstrom of Epic Roll BJJ (Also of MJ Home Sales, and The One Bottle Company) We definitely talk about Jiu Jitsu and Matt's journey through entrepreneurship. But In the middle of the interview, we shift into an unexpected topic - How to attract more of what you want into your life.

Breathe in, breathe out. Simple - we do it every day and we don’t think about it. We don’t HAVE to think about it… Or do we? In this episode, I talk with Breathwork expert Alex Holguin (AlexHolguin.com) about the importance of the breath - how it affects everything in your body and mind and the things you do on a daily basis. We also talk Jiu Jitsu, how to not get in a street fight, how trauma affects to body, and at the end Alex walks us through a simple breathwork reset you can do anywhere. I HIGHLY recommend you reach out to Alex and start doing this as a practice. He has a lot of cool new offerings that are both in person and virtual.

Have you ever heard people talk about what to do when things aren't working?
There's lots of content about that, right?
What no one ever talks about is what to do when things ARE working... so that you don't blow it.
In this episode, I walk through a simple 3 step framework I built for MYSELF to make sure I don't blow it (again...)
I've been on journey recently, looking for things in my life that I care about AND indentifying what principle those things to back to.
Why?
Because principles are things that are always true.
In this episode I talk about a simple tool to use that follows a principle... which means it will always work.
What does it look like to get CLEAR? To be able to make better decisions, have better conversations, and make better things? And how can we use SOBRIETY as a tool (not as a punishment) to do these things? On this episode, I chat with Katie Tomaszewski (Founder of DryNamics, Deep Line Health) about how to do exactly that. If you're interested in stepping into a new level of awareness that can help you be a better entrepreneur, partner, parent, creative - this episode will give you tools to do that.

If you're not creating and publishing, you don't exist -- here's how to NOT disappear into the void when you're busy -- so you can sell more stuff and have more impact.
Back for an episode about the stories we tell ourselves, how to change them, and why it matters...
**BOOM! So honored to interview Steve Larsen (Sales Funnel Radio, OfferMind, Secret MLM Hacks Radio)>

Oh, and if you haven't yet -- And you want to know how to build an email list to 10,000 people... profitably... in 30 days -- go to 10ksummit.com and join the waitlist.**
Triggered? HA Listen to the episode :)
Let me ask you a question, what would it feel like to know that 100% of your living expenses would be taken care of... forever?
Go to 10ksummit.com to learn more.
Offermind 2019... Holy crap. Amazing.
On this episode I give you a peek inside my Offermind notes, some of my favorite quotes/big take-aways... And I give a super simple framework for how to get the most out of any live event.
I answered a question recently about how to run Facebook ads to a low priced ($20) offer.
Does luck have anything to do with success? That was a question I got asked on a podcast recently. Want to hear my answer? (HUGE shout out Josh and Justin at Simply Done Business for having me on the show!)
Every time I had an idea, I used build it -- the brand first, then the website, then I'd share it -- This might get as few quick sales, but it's not real branding. Real branding comes second. I talk about what comes first in today's episode.
I missed a couple of days of my 30 podcasts in 30 days because I was debating whether or not to share this story....
In this episode, we talk about Mark's journey as an entrepreneur and author. How he was able to scale his income and, more importantly, his IMPACT to build his company -- Zen Pig, a best-selling children's book series that teaches children (and parents) the importance of gratitude and being present.
Things we get into - Funnel Building, Facebook ads, How to scale your Facebook ads, Offer Creation, Email Follow-up Funnels, and More!
I HIGHLY recommend going through Mark's funnel. Mostly because the books are SO so good. But also because I want you to see and pay attention to what he does.
freezenpig.com
Every month, I'm going to be doing income reports. An act of transparency on this journey to $1 million business. On this one I talk about the things I've learned, the expenses I've incurred, and the goals for the next couple months.
"If you're sharing content online, it needs to be stellar!"
Nope. Nope. Nope.
ESPECIALLY at the beginning, the point is, not to have stellar content, but to be making stuff and creating energy.
The stellar part comes later...
Here's a link to the episode I references about not being giving yourself license to not be good at first :)
https://anchor.fm/chriscreed/episodes/The-Number-One-Thing-Thats-Holding-You-Back---Ep--8---Storywell-Marketing-Podcast-e3p9nu
In this episode, I give you the exact things I think about when I'm building a facebook ad. This strategy ensures the ad gets good engagement straight out of the gate, a 9-10 relevancy score, and.... drive more sales.
Also, I create a free cheatsheet for you! You can go grab that here: www.storywellmarketing.com/ad
When we sell someone our product or service, we instantly create problems for them.... Here's how to solve those problems and why it's absolutely necessary for your business.
Have you ever noticed, especially in the online wold, that when you stop hearing from someone -- you forget about them?
That's not a coincidence. And this doesn't only occur online....
What else do you need to learn to start your YouTube Channel? Your Podcast? Your Blog?
Whatever just popped into your head as an answer to that question... it's an excuse.
How do you balance the scales of working in your business and working on your business?
We all have real magic to use... We've all experienced it. We all use it every day. On today's episode, we chat about how powerful it can be if you use it in your business.
in this episode, I do a deeper dive into the strategy I outlined on the previous episode - creating a virtual summit or online challenge - and I also give some local businesses that this could work really well for... as well as give you the outline so you can implement it yourself! (which you should because I can almost guarantee you that NOONE in your local market is going to do it....)
In this episode, I outline a plan I have to implement a virtual summit model to generate leads for a client of mine that has a local theatre program...
Don't wait to figure that out before you start.... That is the express lane to never doing anything. Start, then let your path find you.
To make A decision means to cut off the possibility for other outcomes. When you make a decision about a market to serve, you cut off anyone who is not ready to rally behind your cause.
That's ok. It't not for them.
When things aren't working , it seems overwhelming to try and figure out why. But really, there's only a few reasons why your funnel isn't converting. Here's the first two things I check when analyzing a broken funnel.
How long have you been stuck? This is a super simple way to get unstuck and make sure that you move closer to your goals crazy fast.

You start a business, your car battery dies. -- Man, this is growth. I'm so glad I'm here.
You launch your new product, a pipe bursts in your house. -- Man, this is growth, I'm so glad I'm here.
^^^^ This is growth, When things push back... When your friends say your nuts.... When you set a big hairy audacious GOAL to make $1million in the next 12 months and IMMEDIATELY you are faced with a challenge that says -- "prove it."
This is growth. I'm so glad I'm here.
The Big Leap
How do you set goals that are achievable AND stretch you? You make them in a way that changes your beliefs around what is achievable. I'm set some goals for my business LIVE on this episode. Just wait to hear the biggest goal I've ever set for myself. Let's GO baby!
There are two ways to build your marketing -- a model that makes people feel trapped. And model that makes people feel free. This episode is all about how to invite people into a story that is all about THEM. One that makes them feel empowered to be a part of excited to give you money to go on this journey with them.
There's ONE thing that holds us back from making new things, building new things, and publishing ... more than anything else.
There shouldn't be just one path for people to take that leads them to buying from you. It should be a choose your own adventure.
Tiger Woods just won the Masters. He's the best golfer in the world and everyone thought he was spent... finished.... done. And yet, he won the biggest golf tournament in the world. Again....
How do you stay that good for that long? Here's how....
So What do you do?
We shouldn't be scared to answer that question for fear of sound like a total jerk and like we're pitching ourselves all the time. It doesn't have to feel that way. Here's how to do it better.
As Entreprenuers, we have a gift of being able to push forward with a figure-it-out mentality. But it can actually hold us back from becoming experts.
Hey guys!
Welcome to the Storywell Marketing Podcast! This episode goes through the origin story of how I went from ZERO marketing skills (or so I thought) and ZERO dollars coming in.... To building my one person funnel building and facebook ads agency to $3000 in recurring monthly revenue in just 6 months.
I will be sharing with you guys every day in come capacity so subscribe to the show to follow along!
Cheers!
