This is The Real Reason You're Not Being Productive with Rory Vaden
My guest today, Rory Vaden, filmed a Ted Talk on how to multiply time which has over 4.4 MILLION views on YouTube, and he opened the conversation with this: How is it that we have more tips and tricks, tools and technology, calendars and checklists than ever before, and yet, we still always seem to be behind?How is it that we work longer hours, we’re moving faster than we’ve ever moved in history, and yet we never seem to be caught up?How is it that we know more about time management today, and yet stress is at an all-time high?This ties into the first sentence of his book Procrastination on Purpose that I LOVE. It says “Everything you know about time management is wrong.”In this conversation, Rory explains the biggest myth people in the world today have in their understanding of time-management, and how your efficiency and productivity affects your brand.Ready to dive in?

How to Host a Free Class That Turns Followers Into Customers
When I created my first social media marketing course in 2016, I was so proud of the work I had done but had no idea how to get the content into the hands of my Ideal Client.For weeks, I racked my brain and scribbled notes on cocktail napkins while brainstorming over tapas with my husband, JD.Finally, it hit me: I needed to give my audience a sneak peek of what I taught in my digital course to show them the value of it.That day, I decided to host a free virtual class teaching a brief overview of one of the lessons in my course and at the end of it, I informed them that they could dive even deeper into what they learned by purchasing my digital course.After I ended the call and excitedly watched hundreds of course purchases roll in, I knew I had unlocked a new way of marketing my business: a live launch.Since that Hail Mary moment, we’ve used the same method over a dozen times to market Social Curator and we’ve seen this method pay off time and time again, which is why in this episode, I’ll teach you how to create a live launch of your own.Before we dive in, download the corresponding workbook at https://www.jasminestar.com/launchlive.
