In 2021, we increased revenue by 30%, and increased profit by 25%.I started doing this in January of 2004, which means we’re coming up on 8 years for our online business. So, it’s taken this long to have the kind of year we just had.But I’m okay with that, because we’re on a journey here. As the saying goes, it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey.With that said, I want to share some things I’ve learned over the past year. I want to talk about what worked well for us in 2021, and also talk about some things that did not work well for the business. I want you to maximize your successes, and learn from my mistakes.I also want to share what our plans are for 2022.Like I said, we’ve just had our best year ever, and I want you to do the same for your business. It’s a great episode, and a great starting point for making 2022 your most successful year yet.Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

Are you setting big goals for yourself? Chances are, you’re not setting big goals because you’re afraid of not reaching them. ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍If that sounds like you, if you’re setting small goals, you’re not alone. I’ve found that most people don’t set big enough goals for themselves. Oh, and by the way, I’ve also been guilty of this.When we set a goal for ourselves, we often set the bar really low. We set goals we know we can achieve. That way, we avoid the risk of failure and all of the negative thoughts and consequences that happen as a result of missing the mark.About a year ago, I did an episode where I shared my thoughts about thinking differently about our goals. And since I recently had Neill Williams here on the podcast to talk about setting goals for 2022, I thought this would be a good time for you to hear that episode from a year ago.It’s an episode that I got a lot of great feedback about. It surprised and inspired a lot of people about reframing our perspective on setting goals, and it fits in really well with the work we do inside of our Accelerator coaching program.Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

If Apple’s rollout of its iOS 14.5 privacy updates taught us anything in 2021, it’s the need to be diversifying our traffic. These updates really affected things like Facebook ads and data reporting, and made the reporting unreliable. ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍In an effort to diversify, I started my own YouTube channel. It’s actually something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. A lot of our Accelerator coaching members are doing the same thing. They’re beginning to either grow a YouTube channel, or expand and scale the one that they already have.Unfortunately, getting traction with a new YouTube channel can take a while.My guest today is Tom Breeze. Tom is the founder of Viewability, and The Ad Buyers Club.Tom is no stranger to the podcast; he’s been on many times before. His agency is among the best in the entire world when it comes to YouTube ads. They've finally cracked the code on how to use YouTube ads to grow your channel, do it very inexpensively, and do it without negatively impacting your YouTube channel.It actually has a very positive impact on your YouTube channel the way that they’re doing it.I asked Tom to come on and share his strategy, and share exactly what they’re doing to grow YouTube channels inexpensively with paid ads, and how you can do the exact same thing.This is a really, really fun conversation, and I’m sure you’ll get a lot out of it.Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

Have you laid out your goals for 2022? ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍While some of you have begun setting goals for the coming year, many of you may have not yet started. That’s ok, because I know a lot of us can begin to feel overwhelmed when thinking about mapping out a plan for the new year.I sat down with Neill Williams to talk about how to set and achieve goals for the upcoming year.When it comes to setting goals for next year, there are two ways to do it: achievement-oriented goals, and growth-oriented goals.Achievement-oriented goals are set with an accomplishment in mind. Reaching these goals are pretty much 100 percent under your control. You either do it, or you don’t. Success is not dependent upon anyone but yourself. We set these kinds of goals just to get something done.The other kind of goal you set is for growth. That's literally it. You set a goal that requires you to grow in some way to be able to achieve it. The point of that goal is not to reach it. The point of it is the growth that you get while going after it.Today, Neill and I are going to walk you through a goal-setting strategy for 2022. We talk about the mindset challenges that can come up, and how to deal with them. We also look at how to decide what kind of goals we want to set for the new year.Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

Let’s talk about a big misconception that a lot of people have about success. ‍‍Cut your lead gen costs in HALF with my $37 mini-course–NOW only $17!Visit The Art of Online Business website for Facebook Ads help‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍This might ruffle a few feathers. It might even ruffle a lot of feathers, but the big misconception goes something like this: if you’re not working your face off, if you're not working 80 hours a week, you’re not going to be successful.In other words, if you’re not hustling—if you’re not working non-stop—you aren’t going to be successful.Don't get me wrong, some hustle is good. But not when it comes at the expense of your relationships and your health.Hustle is not a badge of honor. It can lead to physical and mental breakdowns. It can damage your relationships with the people you love the most.And hustle is no guarantee that you’ll be successful. I know plenty of very successful people that work way less than you would think they do.So, today I’m going to give you some practical steps you can take to hustle less, reduce stress, and be successful in your business.Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!

That’s close to seven and a half million downloads, which I'm truly grateful for.I want to share this episode with you again, because I get asked about this show all the time.For episode number 400, I invited my wife on the podcast. This was the first time she'd ever been on the show. I had her ask me questions about the behind-the-scenes life, and having a young family and running a successful business.Many of you submitted questions that you wanted me to answer. So, I had Amy ask me those questions. I didn't know what the questions were ahead of time. So, we dive into a lot of topics here today that I've never discussed prior to that episode.So, without further ado, let's dive into this best-of episode with my wife, Amy.Please click here to give an honest Rating/Review for the show on iTunes!
