Evergreen Marketing (formerly CarrotCast)

Often times, when we feel really overwhelmed, and are just struggling to keep up, it's probably because things are too complex. Maybe you've been trying to take more time off and get more freedom. Maybe you've tried everything, but can't quite seem to get there. The truth is, we can't grow our businesses and gain more freedom unless we simplify. On this mini CarrotCast episode I want to share with you a concept that has helped me de-clutter my life and get back more of my freedom and happiness. 02:26 - What the ceiling of complexity is and how it affects our happiness, our income, and our freedom. 03:28 - How simplification is the enemy of complexity. 05:56 - The first key to breaking through the ceiling of complexity: Process. 06:50 - Recognizing your productivity constraints and bottlenecks. ***Join us live, Thursdays at 11 AM Pacific for the Evergreen Marketing Live Q&A: https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialcarrotcommunity/***Need to grow as a leader?

We're bringing you a miro-episode of the CarrotCast just in time for the new year. I've talked a lot over the past few years about the power of visualizing your future and changing your habits to have more impact and become the person you want to be. This is something that I'm really passionate about and I'm convicted that if you want to make those changes in your life, it needs to happen today, not tomorrow, or on New Year's Day. I wanted to get personal in this episode and share with you a couple stories so that you can understand how this mindset has completely changed not only my life, but my wife's, my kid's, and even some of our members. Listen to this quick episode and then hit me up on . I want to hear how it impacts you. Also, don't forget to join me Dec 29th at 9:00 for my free annual EPIC planning call at .

It’s been a really interesting year. This is the year that I've probably had to grow the most personally. As the team grows, you really start to look at yourself and go, "Man. The main bottleneck of growth in the company is you as the CEO." If you're not growing faster than the pace of the company, then you're gonna hold the company back. So, for me, there were spots where the company was growing fast and it could grow faster but the problem was I really needed to up-level the way that I lead. So in this episode, I'm going to recap my year for 2018 and some of the lessons, the key lessons, that I learned. Full show notes at Carrotcast.com 03:00 - How you as a leader or CEO might be a bottleneck as your team grows. 04:59 - Invest in yourself: Hiring leadership coaches and finding mentors. 07:29 - Trevor's personal life: Crushing health and fitness goals & how to get rid of afternoon crashes and wake up feeling energized. 13:58 - What I failed at and learned from in 2018 and how I plan to grow in 2019. 19:42 - Forming better habits and routines to become the person you want to be. 20:32 - My personal morning routine. 27:12 - The Carrot Give Program and how we're changing lives in our communities.

One thing I've learned through years of building our incredible team at Carrot is the goals we set have the ability to motivate, inspire, and push people towards their best efforts. But, they can also do just the opposite. Huge goals can wreck our happiness, contentment, and even our employees. The question isn't whether we can achieve those goals. But, it's about winning big and winning as a team. Hear how we set goals at Carrot, so you can have the freedom, flexibility, finances, and impact in your life. ***Join us live, Thursdays at 11 AM Pacific for the Evergreen Marketing Live Q&A: https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialcarrotcommunity/***Need to grow as a leader?
