Episode 46: Doing Our Best with JW Rayhons

“When you look for the good in someone; you’ll find it.”
Consistently high-performing teams achieve significantly more than what is imaginably possible.
As a leader, you may experience phases when your team is highly performing, firing on all cylinders, and at their best. During those time periods, you want to capitalize on that momentum and elevate your team to new levels of success. While leading teams, you may also find yourself in phases when your team is underperforming and needs a turn-around because there are significant milestones your organization is striving for.. This is how JW Rayhons, our guest today, starts out our conversation. He makes it clear that while he mostly works with teams, even a one-person team can fall into these two categories. It’s all in how you deal with the current situation that gets you to the next step on the journey.
There's going to be some unexpected things that are going to come up throughout the year on any given day. And so it really is how do I and anyone else go about staying focused on the things that they really want to accomplish? Really stay focused on the things that mean the most to them that are most important to them?
How should we focus our time and energy? First, we need to get very clear on what it is we want to accomplish and how we are going to accomplish that. Listen in as we talk more about the steps to happiness and success in your business.

Episode 45: Consistency is the Name of the Game with Bernadette Geyer

Getting an audience is hard. Sustaining an audience is hard. It demands a consistency of thought, of purpose, and of action over a long period of time. - Bruce Springsteen
Consistency in the workplace creates accountability, enhances your reputation, and gives you an opportunity to measure results and make sure things are moving in a positive direction. But according to Bernadette Geyer, today’s guest, consistency comes down to things like your brand, the words you use in your marketing and even your actions where your customers see you acting and “being”. In other words, being consistent allows you to measure your results and your ROI. It gives you a form of accountability. Didn’t do something today that you were expected to do? Customers not happy? You weren’t consistent in your actions. And then, of course that helps in the creation of a business’ reputation, and on and on. Without consistent action and consistent structure within the very core of your company, you cannot be truly successful.
When it comes to hiring someone to take on the responsibilities of your written documentation such as a copywriter like Bernadette, it is even more important to have a form of consistency. The person you hire must understand and be able to sound like, and create wording that comes across in the voice of the person who they are working for. To make this clearer, let’s sit down, bring along a beverage of choice, and listen in as Bernadette and Nancy talk about being able to be consistent.

Episode 43: Triumphing Over Business and Disability with Miro Wcislo

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” —Martin Luther King Jr.
Living life with depression and anxiety can be a horrible nightmare. There are many different levels of both. Some are easily pushed aside while others are totally debilitating. Added to that if you’re trying to run a successful business, it can feel like you are caught in a huge mud bog and you just can’t get your feet free. The harder you try, the more tired you get. You lose your energy, your joy, and you just want to give up and sink down into the pit. Today’s guest, Miro Wcislo tells us how he feels when he says “every single day is a battle every second is a battle.”
Throughout this talk, he tells us about his supportive parents, his days before the disability started, and how he has struggled and succeeded in creating a very successful business even though he has had to deal with a continuing situation.
Sit back, grab a cup of your favorite beverage, and listen in (btw – you’ll want to take notes today), while we chat with Miro.

Episode 41: The Magic of Writing a Book with Suzanne Doyle-Ingram

There are many reasons to write a book but, according to Brian Tracy, “the biggest reason was to spread my message about subjects that I felt very passionate about.”
Most people start out to write the American novel, but it’s not all that easy. Thousands of books are submitted for publication each year, and only a few are chosen. You can find a publisher, you can self-publish, or you can find someone that leads you through the process and gets your book out there for others to read.
However, as the quote above states, the best reason to publish a book is to let people know your message and what your knowledge and experience are all about. And, believe it or not, you will probably NOT make a lot of money from this endeavor. Even if you get it on the shelves of Barnes and Noble or Amazon, very little in royalties will come to you. Where you do make the money is through showing people what your business is, what you teach, how you make a living, etc. Listen in as today’s guest Suzanne Doyle-Ingram shares with us her years of experience in helping others to do their best and to get those books hiding inside us out into the public.

Episode 40: Getting the Right People to Support You with Deidre Kindred

"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." --Helen Keller
No matter what industry you are in, there comes a time when a solopreneur needs to have some help. There are things they can’t do, don’t know how to do, or just don’t want to do. Business is growing and it is too much for one person to handle. This may be the beginning of a growth in the company, or a one-time thing where the owner needs just a bit of help. Regardless of which, it is always nice to have the ability to reach out and find someone to build your team around. 
Deidre Kindred has been involved in the medical profession for many years, and she believes wholeheartedly in the statement above. Whether that is help for someone with health issues and can’t leave the house by themselves, or whether it’s the running of the back end of the business, Deidre shares with us experiences she has had with both her own business and working as an employee. 
Communication, goals and organization are all very important aspects of finding the right members for the “Team” and you can find out more by listening in as Nancy chats with Deidre here.

Episode 37: The Passive Income Queen, Lisa Johnson

If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.- Warren Buffett
Lisa Johnson, today’s guest, starts our conversation by saying “I WANTED TO BE MORE, EXPERIENCE MORE, EARN MORE.” But she didn’t know how to do it. And that’s when her business was born. Her first company, a wedding planning business, led her to talk with others, find mentors, help to analyze what was going right and not so right in both her own and in colleagues’ businesses. That led to a pivot into coaching and before long she was making 6 figures regularly and her courses were selling out so quickly she couldn’t keep up.
In order for her to continue to grow she either had to clone herself or figure out ways to continue to earn money without more time or energy. And that’s when it hit her. I need to make passive income. Not an investment program with some financial institution, but by creating programs that allowed her to do the work once, and sell it repeatedly and automatically. Things like evergreen courses (you create the course, you put it into a program such as Teachable or Kajabi, and then sit back and watch the money roll in “in your sleep”. Periodically, you should upgrade it, change it up a bit and add more to it, but it’s really very simple.
Our conversation today has Lisa sharing her thoughts and ideas on what she has done and how she has made her business and her life so successful while finding the time to spend traveling the world with her children and family. Take a listen in and learn how to do this for yourself.
