Evergreen Marketing (formerly CarrotCast)

This topic FIRES me up! We're now about two years into the CarrotCast and we're so grateful of our audience and the impact that we've been able to provide. This impact was touched on recently when I was talking with one of our Carrot members. There was a question during the conversation that hit me at my core...  The question of "when is enough, enough?" We all have ambitions. We all have the drive for more. But, when does that get out of hand? My initial goal when I first started out was to make $4k per month. But, over time, my aspirations, motivations, and standards changed. Luckily, my path has taken me personally and Carrot on a journey to impact the lives of others. But, there are those who what that next higher level while either losing their purpose or never having one in the first place. They get the "not good enough" disease. Whatever they have or do just isn't good enough anymore.  On this episode, I want to help cure that mindset. I want to help our audience get over the need for validation. It's time to switch that mindset to truly feel your work is making a positive difference in the lives of others.  If you're not waking up each day and feel excited and fired up to help not only your life but the lives of many, many people, then you're most likely in the enough is enough phase. Listen in. Start enjoying and put to use the finances, freedom, and flexibility that you've worked so hard to achieve.    ***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?

This topic has been on my mind lately. It’s how to go fast by slowing down. Many times in our businesses it’s easy to miss the important things when we’re working fast and furious, but we’re actually getting behind on projections. Instead, we need to place importance on what is going to move the needle and with clear objectives. We need to slow down and create better strategies and plans that are going to pull the biggest levers in our business. Where can you slow down to better serve your team or family? Learn from what I’ve been going through the past six weeks. I’ve been going, going, going, but failed to slow down. Slowing down will actually help you speed up when you have structure. Enjoy and be sure to hit us up on Facebook, iTunes, YouTube, or even the Carrot blog and share your thoughts. We’d love to hear them! ***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?

What's up CarrotCast community. It is the end of a week right now as at the time I record this. I'm actually getting ready to head out to North Carolina and Tampa on Sunday for my last, last, last trips of the year for business. It's been ... It's definitely been cramming a lot of stuff in this past month and a half, it's been all amazing stuff. Just meeting a lot of amazing people. I've talked about it in recent episodes of the CarrotCast and different masterminds and high level. I've been in boardrooms with two multi-billion dollar companies, their CEOs, different masterminds with just amazing, amazing people. Speaking of North Carolina, the guests I've gotten today's episode of the CarrotCast, they were actually out here from their home in North Carolina. They were here at CarrotCamp and it's actually Max Maxwell and Tony Robinson. Max and Tony had been friends for ... Shoot for decades and are going way, way, way back. I think everyone in the industry knows that Max has been kind of taking the industry by storm with his YouTube channels, podcasts, his Instagram following. He's just building a big, big, big movement. And it's cool. I love seeing what he's doing because he's just sharing what he's doing as an investor. And originally the whole aim was hey, how can I get from $20K a month to $100,000 a month? And he passed that, and here at CarrotCamp, he's talking about doing some amazing, amazing things. They're already doing crazy, crazy great things. Anyway, we had a chance to kind of, hole away at CarrotCamp in my office, I pulled them to the side and I said, guys, everybody knows Max's journey from the past two years. Everybody knows how he was broke and how he dove in and started tackling real estate investing and really nailed Cold Calling and really nailed PPC with Carrot and is doing great. Everyone knows that story. But, one thing that hasn't been told is the backstory before that, what happened 10 years, 20 years prior. What happened with their relationship? How did they get to know each other? And how did they support each other through the ups, through the downs? So we sat down for this candid interview going all the way back to when they were 12 years old and they met, and through the struggles, through a jail stint, through both of them going broke at times, but opposite times through Tony making millions and then losing it all and going to jail. It's just crazy, crazy things during the story, but the cool thing I want you to guys to notice is what made these guys who they are today. People see the success of the past two years as instant, just overnight success, but it wasn't. It was success decades in the making and I'm insanely proud to sit down with these guys, they're making an impact, so proud to call them a Carrot customer, Carrot member, Carrot client, and I'm just pumped to be able to see them again and see the impact they're going to make on more people. So listen in to this candid conversation with myself, Max Maxwell and Tony Robinson, his business partner, as they discuss their journey and their path that led them to where they are today. ***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?

This CarrotCast episode is actually pretty darn unconventional. We've never done one like this before. You may hate it, you may love it, I'm not sure. But the reason I'm saying this is we recorded a little bit of a side conversation, Friday this last week, during the week of CarrotCamp, with my team. There were a couple of our guys from out of town, out of state, one of them from Delaware, one of them from Philly, and a few local guys. We were just kind of chatting. One of our Carrot Camper attendees, Beau Hollis, crushing it, does well over a hundred deals a year, he brought an amazing, amazing bottle of whiskey you could only get in Kentucky where he lives. So we cracked the bottle open, we sipped a little bit of whiskey, and we chatted for a half an hour, kind of decompressing CarrotCamp week. We talk about business culture, company culture, the perspective from some of these employees of Carrot, from these team members, their perspective of culture, and why they joined Carrot, and how they joined, and how you can do the same thing in your own business. What we've done here at Carrot, while it is unique to our culture, like what we've built is uniquely Carrot culture, you can build your own culture as well, and take these cues, take these tips, take the conversations from our team members, and infuse them into how you build your culture, moving forward to. Now, with that said, the audio is a little bit weird. We weren't planning on recording a podcast at that time but I pulled out my cell phone and I literally just pointed it towards people, so my voice is definitely a little bit louder. If this is your first episode of Carrot Cast, this is not how all of them are. This is kind of a special fun one, but hopefully you get some great information, some great content as you're listening to this episode of the CarrotCast, a special one, behind the scenes conversation in our office, end of the week of CarrotCamp, talking about culture, hiring people, joy in your work, the whole shebang.

On this episode of the CarrotCast, I want to talk something I was discussing with a really high-level house flipping business CEO recently. Having the energy to make people feel better and thinking "who do I need to show up for today?" It's really easy to get lost in your metrics. It's really easy to get lost in your KPI's. It's really easy to get lost in your goals. Everyone gets lost. It's part of being motivated. It's part of being an entrepreneur. We tend to stop thinking about what and who we need to show up for right now and bury ourselves in the achievements and sorrows of our work. If this is you, listen to this episode and start changing your mindset. Start showing up for the people you love. Start showing up to make people happy. I hope this helps and starts making a difference in your life.
