The Chris Harder Show

The number one thing that has helped me make strong decisions and tune out negativity is consuming at least two hours of positive propaganda daily. If you don't monitor the amount of positive propaganda that you are taking in to outweigh the amount of negative news, then you're going to struggle with your money mindset and operate from fear. I share really simple ways to listen and read things that reinforce the way you want to see the world. I'm challenging everyone else to do the same, so DM me @chriswharder and let me know how you're going to get in your two hours of positive propaganda. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: The reason why I use the term 'positive propaganda' Examples of positive and negative propaganda, particularly through the lens of the economy How someone who's really busy can get in at least two hours of positive propaganda daily Why I started listening to energizing and inspiring podcasts when I work out RESOURCES Fill out your application for the 2023 Elite Entrepreneur Mastermind at chrisharder.me/mastermind.

Eric Thomas is one of the most sought after motivational speakers out there––I mean, he is up there with Tony Robbins––so Lori and I are thrilled to speak with him today. Eric was homeless for two years of his life, during which time he realized he needed to stop putting what he wants in the hands of others, and take ownership to achieve his dreams. He shares about what he feels his mission is today and who he is here to serve, what he recommends you do when you're feeling stuck and the most stand-out lessons for readers to take away from his book, You Owe You: Ignite Your Power, Your Purpose, and Your Why. Our favorite thing Eric touches on, however, are his thoughts on combining average skills with phenomenal will. Lori and I are giving away a copy of Eric's book to the first 50 listeners who tag Eric (@etthehiphoppreacher), Lori (@loriharder) and myself (@chriswharder) on Instagram sharing their biggest breakthrough from the episode. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How to shift your belief system to see disadvantages as advantages Eric's tips for people who are feeling uneasy about the future of the economy How to own what you want in life Which audiences Eric feels are the most important to speak to right now Why it's important to lead your life as our authentic self How Eric uses faith when he feels at his lowest RESOURCES Get FREE access to "How to Win Clients on Upwork in 5 Simple Steps" ($47 value) at thegig.io/vip.

I answer the three most common questions that listeners have been sending me about the economy, and share my top tips for how to avoid all the negative rhetoric and fear mongering about an impending crisis. I've been getting a lot of questions about the possibility of a recession, if we're going to have the same housing catastrophe as we did back in '08/'09, and the sectors that Lori and I have been focussed on investing in.

Lori and I were coaching separate groups recently, and when we came together to talk about how the sessions went, we realized a lot of entrepreneurs are facing four similar challenges. We've noticed that many business owners are up against an audience problem, they're not providing value to their audience, their content is stale, or they're comparing their chapter one effort to someone else's chapter nine results. It's so powerful to hear the truth and bring some self awareness around what's really holding you back, and we hope that this conversation can shine a light on how you can reach your true potential. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Growing your audience in accordance with the size of your goals Examples of how we add value to our audience before we ask them for anything in return What we notice about our social media numbers when we put out original, fun content Our perspective on healthy comparison The number one move that helps jumpstart your growth RESOURCES Want to learn the truth about how to get your online business off the ground?

The human experience, especially as an entrepreneur, can feel like a never-ending roller coaster. Lori recently had a day where she was feeling super low and in her head about the direction of her life, but she was able to snap out of it by talking to our new neighbors and sharing her business experience. We've realized that we're happiest when we're living our purpose, which for us means building something, working hard, and creating meaningful experiences with people that we love. By getting out of our own worlds and helping uplift someone else, we inevitably feel better and start climbing to the top again.
