Silent Strength with Invisible Warriors

Episode 31: Know Your Client, Know Yourself with Barbra Portzline

“The only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.”
— Mark Zuckerberg, founder, Facebook
People are flocking to business ownership these days. It is THE thing to do when someone is dissatisfied, disgruntled and just wanting something to call their own. They may have done their homework, started off with a bang and then – nothing. The phone doesn’t ring, the website has no hits, there is silence. What do they do then? Give up? What was the true meaning of starting their business in the first place? Did it have meaning to those they wanted to sell to or was it something just for themselves. Something THEY wanted to do?
Mindset is one of several issues that is top of the list for people who are starting (and running) small businesses. If the mindset isn’t right, then the business won’t be either. In today’s conversation with Dr. Barbra Portzline, we talk about mindset and other pitfalls and challenges (as well as success and growth) in the business world. So, sit back, get out your pen and paper (or tablet), take notes and increase your opportunity for business success for yourself!

Episode 29: Coaching is the Click with Jason Rosado

"The successful networkers I know, the ones receiving tons of referrals and feeling truly happy about themselves, continually put the other person's needs ahead of their own." -- Bob Burg
Networking is an important part of running a business, but it is not a well understood method of growing relationships. It’s not just about getting coffee and having chats. It’s about bringing in money and building long-term connections between people.
Often, people go to networking events to hang out with friends, eat free food (and drinks) and get out of work early or just needing a break. Those are not really great reasons to get out there. But when you put a system in place like Jason Rosado and I talk about in this week’s show, then you can know full well that you will walk away with the knowledge that you have made someone else’s day valuable and that in the long run it will come back to you.

Episode 28: LinkedIn and the Best Ways to Use it for Your Business with Petra Fisher

“People want to do business with you because you help them get what they want. They don’t do business with you to help you get what you want.” – Don Crowther
In our conversation today with Petra Fisher, we talk about using LinkedIn as one way to reach out to business contacts and colleagues. First and foremost, we talk about creating the right profile. One that gives the viewer a reason to want to read further and see just what you are all about. And then we go deeper: diving into the depths of the program and various ways to get the relationships started that we are all (or should all) looking to build.

Episode 27: Healthy, Wise and Wealthy with Dr. Robyn

"All the money in the world can't buy you back good health." Reba McEntire
We all know that it’s important to be healthy in our lives and in our businesses. As Reba says above, we can have all the money we could ever wish for, our business can be a huge success, but if we are not healthy we can’t enjoy it or anything about our lives. Take if from me, I know. For quite a while I ignored what was going on with my body and now I have to push myself to get out of bed in the morning, let alone get out there and do the work of running my business. It is hard and I think about how much time I’ve wasted over the years.
Like we talk about often, it doesn’t take a whole new regimen to get started. One small step in the right direction can get us on our way. Here today, is Dr. Robyn to share with us some of those small steps that will lead to BIG results both physically, mentally and help keep us on the right track with our business as well.

Episode 25: Leadership vs. Being the Boss with Mads Singers

“Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.” – Jack Welch 
A title that we often aim to achieve is that of boss. We want that corner office and we want to control things around us. But, unfortunately, that does not make us a leader. A leader being that which helps those that we work with, the best that they can be. A quote that most people have heard (I’m guessing here) is that Leaders lead, bosses push. 
Today’s talk is with Mads Singers and is all about how to get the leader out of the boss and why that’s so important. Have a listen here!

Episode 23: You are Your Brand with Nela Dunato

We hear about business and brands all the time but do we really understand what that means? Is it our logo, our website, our Facebook page? Yes, in brief terms. But it is so much more than that. We are also starting to hear about authentic brands and how people are resonating with those companies that are true to their brands.
In today’s “Don’t Wait Til Pigs Fly”, Nela Dunato gives us a great discussion on being in business and showing our authentic brand to our customers and potential customers. We talk about her book “The Human Centered Brand”, a practical guide that teaches service based business owners and creatives how to create an authentic brand and grow meaningful relationships with their clients. Because having meaningful relationships is what it truly is all about these days.
Listen in as Nela tells us how, as a business, we need to have this and how to go about getting it!!!!
