In the last four months, I’ve recorded 130 episodes of my podcast, published 122 articles here, and grown my business in the process. This all began, for me, when I decided that I wanted to start a business encouraging others to pursue their dreams in life and in entrepreneurship.

I had thought and thought about how I could reach my audience and how I could use what I had to get what I want. I knew that social media would be a powerful tool in sharing my message, but I needed to do more than just post on social media. A few ideas kept coming up. They were vlogging on YouTube, starting a podcast, and writing a blog.

All three of those ideas horrified me. Although I had experience making money online—in dropshipping—I had no experience putting myself on the line and being the face of my business like I would have to in order to execute those ideas. For a few weeks, I told myself that I couldn’t do it.

When no one was looking, I would try to record...

Convincing total strangers to do what you want them to do—like listen to your podcast, book you for an event, shop at your store, or really anything—requires that you break through the noise around them, get their attention, keep it long enough for them to feel comfortable with you, and move them to buy.

Sounds complicated right?

I always tell you to ignore other people’s opinions about you and do you to the best of your ability. That’s important in order for you to be able to act on your goals without allowing irrational fears to be a hindrance for you. But there are times that we actually need to worry about how one group, in particular, feels about us.

That group is our audience of ideal customers. 

When it comes to our ideal customers liking us, we’re as needy as a 14 year old boy with his first crush. We have to convince that audience of people to know us, like us, and trust us. 

The Know, Like, Trust Factor is essential in actually...

As adults, things are a lot different. If you set out to accomplish something, it’s up to you whether that happens or not. And many times, no one would ever even know you failed to achieve that goal unless you told them. That makes it super easy to just give up whenever you want to.

This is precisely why accountability matters to your success, and having an accountability partner could completely change the game for you. Here are 5 reasons why.

1. You’re much more likely to succeed. According to Entrepreneur.com, your likelihood of success skyrockets when you have an accountability partner. In fact,...

In case you’ve been living under a rock, or you somehow accidentally stumbled across this article, you should first know what a podcast is.

Oberlo, defines a podcast as a recording of audio discussion on a specific topic, like business or travel, that can be listened to. They’re often found on audio streaming platforms like iTunes and Spotify, but they are sometimes hosted on websites.

Podcasts are becoming increasing popular, as the number of people who listen to podcasts grows year over year. In fact, 51% of the US population has listened to a podcast at least once. 

It’s really no wonder that podcasts are becoming more popular. As people continue to spend more and more time online, they look for convenient forms of entertainment that fit within their busy lifestyles. Podcasts fit that bill. Most people listen to podcasts right from their smartphones.

And there’s a podcast for every subject under the sun. According to ...

We’re almost officially halfway through the year, which means that it’s winning season! And if you’ve been putting in the work to smash your goals, congratulations! You should really be proud of yourself for sticking to the commitment of accomplishing the things you wanted to accomplish in 2019. 

Did you know that research has found that only 8% of people actually fulfill the goals they set at the beginning of the year? Now, maybe you didn’t start your business at the beginning of the year, but that doesn’t matter. You’ve still lived the same amount of days, this year, as those who did start their businesses on January 1st and—just like them—you’ve probably had all types of things happen in your life that could have taken you out of the game, but you’re still in it.

Trust me, I know that it can get really difficult at times. Just this morning, I had a mini-meltdown and had to talk myself back into a positive...

Have you ever wanted something really badly? My guess is that your answer is “yes”. Have you ever done something really shitty in order to get something you wanted really badly? Hopefully, your answer to that is “no”.

Having a burning desire to achieve something great can drive people to unimaginable extremes. Some people sacrifice convenience and do things like sell their cars to start the business of their dreams. Some people sacrifice time and do things like work 3 jobs to fund their dreams of becoming a business mogul. Some people take on insurmountable debt to fund their passion. And there are those who end up compromising their integrity to get ahead.

It could start as small as cutting corners on your product or service and hoping that your customers don’t notice. It could be overcharging someone $5 here and there or charging someone for something that you can’t deliver and then refusing to make the situation right. 

Integrity...
