The Chris Harder Show

Bob Burg is a sought-after speaker at company leadership and sales conferences sharing the platform with everyone from today's business leaders and broadcast personalities to even a former U.S. President. Bob is the author of a number of books on sales, marketing and influence, with total book sales of well over a million copies. His book, The Go-Giver, coauthored with John David Mann, has sold over half a million copies and it has been translated into 21 languages. It has been released in a new, expanded edition with a foreword by Huffington Post founder and publisher, Arianna Huffington. Bob is an advocate, supporter and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve. He is also an unapologetic animal fanatic, and serves on the Board of Trustees of Furry Friends Adoption & Clinic in his town of Jupiter, Florida. "Giving is one of the absolute keys to success." As explained by Bob himself, a "go-giver" is someone who shifts their focus from getting to giving, and by giving he means, "constantly providing value to the marketplace." With his own incredible success, Bob is the perfect man to get advice from. Setting yourself apart from the "others" in the business world, means that you must provide something that makes people feel as if it is more valuable for them to buy from you, than it is to NOT buy from you. You with me? No if's and's or but's, "The entrepreneur, or salesperson must make their main focus the consumer." Starting out on the Late Night News, Bob shares that the field of broadcasting just wasn't his thing and continued on to sales "With minimal training in sales, I floundered for a bit at first." But due to his resourcefulness and the drive to become better, it didn't take long for him to master the business. Where you are in life and your business now is not the end result if you do not want it to be. Figuring out what your consumer wants + needs + desires, is the equation that will take you straight to the top! So, for all of you future entrepreneurs out there, Bob serves us today with some of the best-ever advice given… "Don't make your target to make money, make your target serving others. The money is the reward for hitting the target, but it is not the target itself."

In today's episode, I will explore "The 5 Reasons Why It Has Never Been Easier to Be Successful than It Is in This Very Day and Age." 1. Share FREE content (it's trendy). 2. Masterminds 3. You can make money online with almost no investment (literally). 4. We are in a time of selling information (not selling things). 5. There is NO such thing as competition. (There is enough to go around if you are confident and good at what you do.) "The amount of information you need to start your own business is already out there!" Not being successful isn't from a lack of resources, not in 2017 at least. It's from a lack of your resourcefulness, don't be that person. Set some goals and crush them! "No one will know what you have to offer until you start offering it." If you want to be successful in life, all you have to do is offer massive value. Whether it be your work ethic, or you ingenious/original ideas etc., find the area that you kill it in, and make everybody want to learn from you. "Giving is free."

As a self-made millionaire, successful entrepreneur, network marketing professional, author, cover model, and three-time fitness world champion, she offers a carefully curated set of practical tools to promote sustainable health, spiritual well-being, and financial freedom. Through her books, unique coaching methods and programs, she has helped countless people connect with their soul, transform their bodies, empower their minds, gain financial independence, and fall in love with themselves and their lives. Throughout her career, Lori has regularly appeared on the covers of and published articles for Oxygen Magazine, STRONG Fitness Magazine, Health & Fitness Magazine and Prosper Magazine. She has also been featured on NBC, Fox, and TLC networks. For those of you who may not know Lori's past or how it all began for her, I have the honor of sharing my wife's story with you today. Having a "money mindset" may not come naturally to everyone, but that doesn't mean you can't ever create it. "My success hasn't always been like this and I know it's something I will continue to work on for the rest of my life because I know that once you hit one level, there is a whole other level out there that you need to strive for." -Lori Harder Growing up, Lori was raised in a very conservative household. At a young age she was told, "Money is the root of all evil and you only need to make enough to survive. Anything more than that is evil and greedy." With the constant battle in her head between money isn't good vs. how does the world go 'round without it, can you see how that would create a whirlwind for a young child just trying to "make it?" Having two very different views on the subject when we first met, Lori's money mindset began to shift after we started to spend more time with each other. "It was refreshing to see that you and your family thought of money as just a thing that created awesome experiences. It was something you looked forward to and were proud of yourself for earning." Even though Lori still had the belief that money equaled greed, she still wanted to create a better life for herself – so she made it her mission to incorporate both beliefs. Why not make money, sufficient enough to live well and financially stress free, while still giving back and be of great service to others? DING DING (light bulb goes off)! "Money doesn't make you greedy, I believe that it just highlights more of who you already are. It will just amplify how you were already showing up in the world." Moving out to the West Coast, for us, put success and wealth in a whole other category. The entrepreneur mindset and the "shameless" money personalities out here, makes the opportunities endless. There is no cap or ceiling. If you have the passion and the heart to create something and make money off it then the world is your stage! (WELCOME TO HOLLYWOOD!) I know from experience that Lori is NOT the only person to come from a family who has fearful thoughts around money. Whether you think you don't deserve to have a lot of it, or that it's evil, or you end up spending it faster than you truly earn it, whatever it may be, my wife and I are here today to break through some of those tough beliefs and to "give you permission" if you will, to take control of your own life and finances. Hard work should always be recognized and rewarded. You will forever be blessed if you think big and share your gifts.

Welcome to my version of "myth busters." Today I'm sharing my two cents when it comes to blasting away old myth sayings about money. For example, "Money doesn't buy happiness" or "Money doesn't grow on trees." For decades, possibly even centuries, depending on how you were raised or who you surrounded yourself with, people have had hard times with money. That's no secret. BUT, on the other, brighter hand, people (even some of the same people who once had problems) have also had extraordinary experiences with money. "All these negative money myths do is chip away at your healthy money mindset." Let's get rid of these myths and stay focused on the facts. The old saying "money doesn't grow on trees," is basically telling us that "money is hard to come by." I can't lie, I may have heard that a time or two while growing up when asking my parents for some cash, but let's be careful here. Why would we start to program children to believe that money is scarce when in fact it's NOT. "It's not your resources that make you wealthy, it's about your resourcefulness." I'm a firm believer in prayer and manifestation. I truly think that you attract what you believe. Take a second and ask yourself, "If I believe that money is scarce, will I ever really attract it?" Let that one sink in… Then tune back in for some more money myth busters!

Cole Hatter is an entrepreneur, investor, author and award-winning speaker. He invests in real estate, start-ups, and several funds exceeding $100 million. Cole is the founder of Thrive: Make Money Matter, an annual conference designed to teach entrepreneurs how to dominate in business and in life, while making the world a better place. Cole is a husband, father and philanthropist that strives to give back. Cole's greatest passion is working to encourage, educate and empower people to live their lives in a way that makes a measurable difference in the world. Growing up in the church community, Cole knew that God's goal for him one day was to serve people on an astronomical level. "I grew up privileged in beautiful SoCal, specifically Newport Beach and along with the values I was raised with, I knew that when I was older I wanted to be able to give back and get paid for it." Looking into different fields such as medicine, the police department etc…Cole decided that he wanted to become a fireman. "That meant I would get to play with fire, save people and get paid." Starting to pursue this path as early as high school, he attended night classes and weekend college classes to be able to knock out his prerequisites (EMT, Paramedics). At the age of 18, when everyone else his age was just beginning their courses, Cole had completed his and immediately began working for the department. Two years later, Cole got into a tragic car accident putting him in a wheel chair, disabling him from walking and talking. Due to the circumstances, he moved back in with his family and was told that both his physical and mental being may just be permanently damaged. With that being said, and the perfect physical ability needed in order to be a fireman, Cole had to choose another path and begin again. "While the corporate setting works great for others, I just knew it wasn't a fit for me, so I decided to make moves while I was healing." Thankfully present-day Cole is 100% healed and has gained back not only his perfect mental and physical ability, but business, power, money and some major life lessons, including the destruction and hit of the 2008 recession. Fast forwarding to today, Cole not only has his 12-year-old real estate company, but a stream of multiple incomes. "I have started about 30 companies. Twenty-six of them have failed, but the four that have not have been able to compensate for the failing 26 and also put me on the map as a successful entrepreneur." With amazing advice and tips, Cole's interview gives an incredible outlook on life and business as a whole. With all the money in the world, he continues to work hard and knows that his job on Earth is not quite complete. He continues to give back, invests in potential business land mines and still makes time for his beautiful family. But for all you upcoming entrepreneurs out there, one of the best take-away tips from Cole is toward the end of the interview, so make sure to listen all the way through! Here's a little hint… "Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should."

"Done Is Better Than Perfect" I get asked a lot, "How do you get so much done? How do you and Lori accomplish such amazing things?" It's really no secret…we just roll up our sleeves, dive right in and learn as we go! I owe a lot of credit to my wife, Lori. I share some of my back story in today's episode and how guilty I was of not even trying something unless I was 100% positive I was going to "knock it out of the park." But let's just be clear on one thing…there is absolutely no way a person can be 100% positive of anything! Am I right!? So what's the matter? What's the wait? There shouldn't be any! Having your significant other's back and being their anchor are two different things. Don't hold yourself or them down by anchoring, take leaps of faith and chances. You'll be amazed at the outcome. It's not about a perfected skill, or a large amount of money, it's about whatever you have to give in that exact moment. Quit waiting. "My wife was my wake up call. Now it's MY turn to be YOURS."

"I start businesses that make the world a better place." Speaking of people who make the world a better place, Mike is all about servant leadership. Using Tony Robbins as an example, he speaks about Tony's worth, not because it's extraordinary, but because he doesn't stop. Tony does what he does, 14,16, 20 hours a day, not because he needs the money or will ever "need" the money, but because he's here to SERVE! "Tony's mission is to impact more lives than anyone else in this world – probably other than Jesus." Of course we all want to grow our platforms, businesses, income, etc., but as Mike said, "People pick up on that." We must differentiate ourselves from similar businesses around us by giving back…servant leadership. One thing that Mike talked about today that really stood out to me, was how he personally reflects and how he believes people can "find their own personal gifts." Mike has taken almost every personality test imaginable. He finds that reflection and knowing your passions is what will not only bring you money, but what will make work enjoyable. "It will make the next 50 years of your "work life," feel like play-time. His tips and advice on starting a business and brand creation are just genius. "You have to know your persona and reputation before looking for investors. What's the feather in your cap?" I also asked him his favorite way to learn, and like Tony Robbins and Tim Ferris preach, Mike believes in immersive learning. "If you're trying to learn a new language, you don't just study one hour a week. You move to the country and immerse yourself. It's the same thing with business – you have to go all in." Long hours and hard work will get you everywhere. Jumping in head first may come with failures and setbacks, but it will eventually allow you to accelerate at a speed you've only dreamed of.

AJ Mihrzad is the author of the best-selling book, The Mind Body Solution: Train your Brain for Permanent Weight Loss. With a passion for health, he studied Exercise Science and went on to earn a Master's degree in Psychology due to his fascination with the connection between mindset and weight loss. His cutting-edge approach to permanent weight loss insists that the key to a healthy body is a healthy brain. His clients are walking proof – there are hundreds of them! His writing has been featured in Entrepreneur Magazine, The Huffington Post, Men's Fitness, and Bodybuilding.com. AJ is a keynote speaker at high-end entrepreneurial and personal development events, and also hosts the popular podcast, the Online SuperCoach Podcast (available on iTunes). Along with inspiring the lives of the general public, he is dedicated to helping coaches create an ethical and profitable online income through his business mentorship program available at OnlineSuperCoach.com. Growing up, AJ explains to us that in order to gain "power" he turned to food. It was his emotional drug of choice and before he knew it, he was 60 lbs. overweight! But as he got older, and food wasn't the only unhealthy option, AJ found himself dabbling in drugs and alcohol as well. "I was just looking to numb the pain. It was almost like I had a death wish." Not just once, but three times, AJ recalls and shares with us his overdose experiences. "I would wake up in the hospital totally unaware of what just happened, become depressed for the next few days and then go right back to my old ways again." At the age of 26, he overdosed on a stimulant that caused his heart to flat line, and AJ was pronounced dead at the hospital. Thankfully nurses were able to revive him, but he remained in a coma for the following 7 days. It was during this time of pain and suffering that AJ had finally hit his rock bottom and was ready for a change. No one is "dealt a bad hand," but playing the victim may cause a person to think that way. The mind is a powerful thing – it can either help you or hurt you. "Not only was my victim mentality not serving me any longer, but it was literally killing me!" Fast forwarding to today and a much more uplifting time, AJ is one of the most successful entrepreneurs that I know. He has completely turned his life around, continues to stay sober and has turned to positive pastimes such as reading, self-help, journaling and even coaching as his new way of life. Even as we talked today, AJ remains 100% vulnerable and shared with us that there's always room for improvement. There will always be those sneaky little stories that we tell ourselves, which hand-in-hand, then hold us back. He is the epitome of a hardworking individual whose goal now is to live each and every day to its highest potential – seeking out the good, the opportunities and the blessings we are all given. I admire his story, his past and every bit of him that led him to where he is today. Whether it be giant leaps or a small stone's throw, progress is progress! "I used to drive a crappy car and now I drive a Bentley. Just a small example, but that's how progress pushes me!"

The reason WHY I decided to read 30 books in 30 days. Yes, you heard me correctly. An entirely different book, every single day, for 30 days straight. You see, about two years ago, I wasn't complete fulfilled and in love with the person I was becoming. I found myself judging more than usual, drinking more than usual, eating crappier foods more than usual, and showing up for my self and others in a half-assed way (pardon my French.) "When you have greatness inside of you but you aren't doing anything to pursue it, it can be a boring and lonely place. And when you are bored and lonely, you tend to fill your time with stupid things." It was time I started noticing the gap between myself and others (specifically my wife, who happened to be kicking ass in all aspects of life at this time.) After some mindless scrolling on Instagram (yes, guilty!) I came across Tai Lopez, the king of what I like to call "Bait-and-switch." He has a knack for posting shiny things like cars, mansions, jets etc. to catch your eye and possibly even give you some mixed feelings about him as a person, but what he really is, is a freaking reading ROCKSTAR! Tai's reading book club is larger than Oprah's, from my understanding! WOWZA! "I thought to myself, If this man has the time to read a book a day and still be successful, then #1 wow am I lazy and #2 this is something I can do too!"But, it doesn't stop there. Find out how I gave back and my final donation to Make-A-Wish Foundation, in this episode! And, if you know what's good for you, go ahead and follow my guy, Tai!
