hold that thought and take a quick break with our sponsors. Yeah, fam, when I first started this podcast, believe it or not, I had an all-volunteer team to help me out. But as my business took off, I needed to hire a lot of new people and fast. It soon became pretty overwhelming because I had to sort through piles and piles of resumes, conduct countless interviews, and you know how it goes, hiring is a pain. But then I discovered the easiest way to hire the right people quickly. I found Indeed. When it comes to hiring, Indeed is all you need. Stop struggling to get your job posts seen on other job sites. Indeed's Sponsored Jobs helps you stand out and hire fast. With Sponsored Jobs, your post jumps to the top of the page for your relevant candidates, so you can reach the people you want faster. It makes a huge difference. According to Indeed data, sponsored jobs posted directly on Indeed have 45% more applications than non-sponsored jobs. Plus, with Indeed sponsored jobs, there's no monthly subscriptions, no long-term contracts, and you only pay for results. How fast is Indeed, you ask? In the minute I've been talking to you, 23 hires were made on Indeed according to Indeed data worldwide. There's no need to wait any longer. Speed up your hiring right now with Indeed. And listeners of this show will get a $75 sponsored job credit to get your jobs more visibility at Indeed.com/profiting.

Hello, young and profiterers. Running a small business means you're wearing a lot of hats. Your personal phone becomes your business phone. And before you know it, you're juggling calls day and night. When I first started Yap, I made the mistake of using my personal cell phone to handle all of my business inquiries. It worked fine at first, but as soon as my team and business scaled, it became impossible to manage things. And that's where Open Phone comes in. Open Phone is the number one business phone system. They'll help you separate your personal life from your growing business. And for just 15 bucks a month, the cost of a few coffees, you get complete visibility into everything happening with your business phone number. OpenPhone works through an app on your phone or your computer, and it integrates with HubSpot and hundreds of other systems. They use AI-powered call transcripts and summaries. So what that means is that you get a summary of your phone call and action items as soon as you hang up. And if you miss a call, automated messages are sent directly to your customer. OpenPhone is affordable, it's easy to use, and whether you're a one-person operation and you just need help managing your own calls, or you've got a large team and you're looking for more efficient collaboration, OpenPhone is the solution for you. Right now, OpenPhone is offering 20% off your first six months when you go to openphone.com/profiting. That's O-P dot com slash profiting for 20% off the first six months. That's openphone.com/profiting. And by the way, if you have an existing number with another service, Open Phone will port them over at no extra charge. That's openphone.com/profiting. What's up, yeah fam? I travel so much for my job these days. And on top of that, I've been spending more time in Miami. In fact, I'll be down there keeping myself warm most of the winter. I love to travel, but at the same time, I feel like my glamorous Jersey City apartment with its pink velvet couch and skyline view of the city, it's just going to waste. But what if it didn't have to? A lot of people don't realize that they might have an Airbnb of their own right under their noses. You can host your whole place or spare room when you're out of town. So many of my successful friends host, and it's such an amazing way to generate passive income. And now you can also hire a co-host to make the job easier than ever, especially if you're going to be away for an extended period of time. Vetted by Airbnb, co-hosts have experience in the hosting space and can help with your bookings, manage reservations, provide onsite support, and more for your investment properties. So if you're escaping to the warm weather this winter like me, find yourself a co-host at airbnb.com/host. So in your book, Think Faster, Talk Smarter, you have a six-step method. Could you go over that at a high level for us?
Speaker 1
Absolutely. Let me introduce the method. It really divides into M&M, my favorite candies. It's about mindset and messaging. The first four steps are all about mindset. When it comes to communication in general, but specifically spontaneous speaking, anxiety looms large. We started by talking about that. Most people are nervous. Most people are really nervous in spontaneous situations. So step number one is learning to manage that anxiety. Once we've managed that anxiety, the next thing we have to do is we need to do exactly what we talked about, not get in that mindset of I have to be perfect. So we have to focus our efforts on just getting the idea across.
