"Creativity doesn't wait for that perfect moment. It fashions its own perfect moments out of ordinary ones." -- Bruce Garrabrandt

Our guest today is Kimberly Mays and she is here to talk to us about website development, how and why to do it. Then we go even deeper into the marketing mix and talk about more social media in general. Take a listen!

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!!!!

Episode 21: From Story to Sale with Tom Jackobs

“Whatever you are trying to sell, storytelling is the most powerful thing you can do. Most of the best business ideas come from personal experiences.” (from Jack Preston’s blog post about Virgin Media Pioneers’ Pitch to Rich competition)In today’s episode, Tom Jackobs, of Impact Pilot, tells us a story about how he became a better business person and in the process learned what he calls the secret to great sales: storytelling. When you tell a story you are able to put your listeners in your shoes (and you theirs) so that a picture can be drawn and the potential buyer can actually see why he or she needs what you have to offer.
Tom is giving us a wonderful gift today on top of that great conversation. If you go to: www.TomJackobs.com/storybook there is a free worksheet on how to create your authentic hero story – the first stage in the sales process.

Episode 19: Don't Sell -- Help with Michael Furey

"Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude." -Zig Ziglar
You can’t be in business without being in sales. But that dreaded (for most of us) word doesn’t have to mean the old fashioned, push your program into someone’s hands whether they want it or not. Today, its more about creating relationships that focus on helping others. No longer does a person line up to find the perfect salesman; instead thanks to the Internet, the buyer is large and in charge. They know everything before they even start to look for the right item to buy. So, that makes the sale become an entirely different scenario.
According to Michael Furey, Founder of 24 Hour Sales Coach, “you don’t need to know sales, you just need to know people.” And that seems to be his philosophy overall. By understanding people, what they want, and how you can help them, with care, consideration and confidence, you will move ahead.
Listen in as he shares his thoughts.

Episode 18: Going Live with Purpose with Trish Leto

“There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It’s why you were born. And how you become most truly alive.” ―Oprah Winfrey
If we’re in business we have a purpose, a goal, a meaning to our lives and our work. But there are times when we push those feelings aside for money, or to make ourselves feel important -- something other than what we created our business for in the first place.
It is when we stick with our intentions and follow our purpose that we have the best lives and the best business we can have.
Our talk today with Trish Leto is all about living our life with purpose and how she does that through her 5 minute LIVES on Facebook. Listen in as she shares her message with us.
