Your World of Creativity

In today's episode, we talk with David Cummins, Ph.D. about overcoming blocks to our creativity.David says, "Since learning Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT), helping people has become much more effective, quick, and significantly more fun for me and the people I have helped.  I appreciate RRT because I can help people move their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to where they want them -- without dragging them through the mud of the past. What I have found is that by helping the person get to an open relaxed state, their minds become much more responsive to moving in the direction the person wishes. Clients regularly report that the process was interesting, easy, and left them feeling lighter and clearer."He adds, "The process uses many painless techniques that naturally moves the person where they want to be going. What I find is that these shifts tend to be effortless and long-lasting because the changes are in the person’s best interest and it happens on multiple levels at the same time. RRT has shown to be effective in helping to clear depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, guilt, and most other mental health issues."Feel free to contact David if you have any questions about the process. You may also visit the RRT website for more information.In addition, David says, "Because of the effectiveness of RRT online, I provide online therapy sessions for those who may need this service."

Morry Zelcovitch The World's First And Only Brainwave Entrainment Engineer Morry says:Quantum Brainwave Entrainment started when I was a child. I had many problems. I heard thousands of voices in my head, and I had severe depression. I was always getting into trouble and was unbelievably accident-prone. I have dislocated my shoulders alone over 150 times. I won’t even get into the myriad of broken bones, shredded tendons, and ligaments, concussions, etc.Something inside me made me start looking into the brainwave entrainment field...And I began to observe that sometimes, time would seem to move faster and more pleasantly than at other times.I eventually made the connection that when time seemed to move quicker, the sounds I was hearing were more rhythmic in nature. And when time seemed to be at a painful standstill, the surrounding sounds were far more disjointed in nature".This experience was the beginning of a 20-year odyssey of deep study and research into the field of quantum brainwave entrainment.After many years of using other people’s products, with some limited success, I was determined to figure out why these recordings seemed to work only in a minor way when all of the research I read suggested the effects should be more dominant than what I was experiencing.I decided that my best route to understanding was learning at the feet of an expert in the field. So I contacted the world's foremost expert in the field of brainwave entrainment, David Siever C.E.T. and discovered some invaluable secrets that I just could not get anywhere else.After several years of learning from David Siever I’m now one of the few in the world who actually can claim to be a "certified Brainwave Entrainment Engineer/Specialist" and have the education to back it up!Now I’ve conquered those extra voices in my head and severe depression. It's become my mission in life to help others improve their quality of life without the use of dangerous and habit-forming drugs. www.themorrymethod.com  Twitter - @themorrymethod  https://www.linkedin.com/in/morryzelcovitch 

This is a fantastic high-energy interview with The BizBros -- my friends, Luis and Fonzi.So good that I've included an entire transcript!Hear the highlights including:the publishing pyramidminimal viable contentconsistency and accountabilitythe power of LIVE!I saved this one for our milestone episode 75!!!In this episode of Unlocking your World of Creativity, Mark talks to the Bizbros. They are Luis and Fonzi, a couple of brothers from Venezuela who started their entrepreneurship in the US, and now they have a company dedicated to providing marketing and content services for all types of contacts.Not quite the sameEven though Luis and Fonzi are brothers, they have vastly different personalities and that also means getting two unique takes on the same project. So Luis takes care of the operational side of things whereas Fonzi focuses on the creative side of things. How it all startedThroughout their childhood, Luis and Fonzi were not like other kids. For starters, they lived in Venezuela where entrepreneurship was not common. But they started as kids, they were creative and resourceful. Their parents always made them work to get what they wanted and this made them very aware of much thought and work that went into getting the things they wished for. Eventually, this mentality came to them as adults where they devised a way to transform their ideas into a business together. What they doLuis and Fonzi offer only one service in their agency. However, this is not a weakness for them. The focus in being the best there is in their field. The Bizbros grab long-form content and turn it into a ton of amazing assets for whatever objective organic paid media and what that comes at. So it's basically leveraging your platform. So we offer that as a service for other people inside of that, there are different phases. There are about seven phases that we've been able to develop, with our team to do that. They essentially leverage your platform and are looking to boost up the visits to their site.They started printing t-shirts in Florida to now have a full agency of social media marketing. They built some brick-and-mortar campaigns, diversified the service aspect, and also hired a coach to help them with the business. From there, it was a smoother sail. What makes content profitable? Or how does one think about content in the context of profit? Basically, their approach to content is to make it evergreen, useful and that the content is a bridge to create more customer relationships that help to grow the numbers. Is not about just delivering any content, is about looking at who the reader is, what they need, and how to connect with them in an organic way that produces content that is leveraging relationships for strategic partnerships.“45 Live Challenge”So what is their 45 Live challenge? Is a challenge they took in which they would daily "live" on their Facebook for 45 days. What is interesting is that they have not been able to finish this challenge as being constant does give results: each time they engage in this challenge they have to leave it because they gain a new client to work with! So basically, the brothers believe that determination and being constant is also another way to generate genuine engagement with the clients. Right now they actually doing this challenge again, at around 5:00 PM they have their welcome class before starting the actual challenge. The point is to measure their consistency and hold each other accountable. As they go to post live for 45 days, they're actually doing it too, and there might be some surprises along the way that prepared for everybody to make it a fun experience.So, to recap: the brothers have a publishing agency where they offer amazing content and guide and the most recent 45 live challenge. For those interested in joining the challenge just go to 45.live, and you’ll be added to the Facebook group and you’ll be ready to go! We love to bring you this podcast of not only inspirational and creative thinking but these tools and methods and models, like the ones the Bizbros have talked us about.

And that's our goal here at this podcast.Connect with them at https://www.contentisprofit.com/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BIZBROSCO/

Bree Noble is the CEO of a Female Musician Academy, helping female musicians to make money from their music.And she also has some great podcasts of her own: The Women of Substance Music Podcast, the Female Entrepreneur Musician Podcast. How do you take someone from just a great singer to a star?Bree explains that while she works in the music industry, not everything depends on talent. There is an element of constant risk-taking, perseverance, effort and even a bit of luck to finally get your music and talent out there. “You have to take a risk yourself, but then you have to have the perseverance and put in the effort to keep going when that doesn't work out the first time.”Bree also explains that the real secret of successful musicians is not only going viral or getting notices by a big-shot producer but rather focusing on hard work and dedication to the art they’re passionate about. “You know, when you have a small business, nobody knows who you are when you first start, you've got to start off on word of mouth and referrals and start getting your name out there. And it's just the same with musicians.”Back in the day, the only way for musicians to be noticed was through getting a record label deal and taking how. Nowadays, with Spotify, Youtube, and those platforms, amateur artists can showcase their music in those platforms and build their career from the ground without necessarily waiting for a label. So while yes, there is a market there to get the exposure that doesn’t take away the element of constant hard work needed to be a truly successful musician. For one thing, you can generate income from streams by building a fan base. Working as a freelancer, session recordings, teaching, or anything else, you can stream, and once you build a good enough fan base you can monetize from it and you’re also constantly getting the word out about your music and what you do. your fan base is, is an asset that can work for you in so many different ways. Sure, you can start a career without them or you can have a fan base that will support you and assist to intimate concerts or studio classes. The best venues for your music genreBree advises that you don't try to fit your music into a place where it doesn't belong because it will just be frustrating. There are so many micro-genres now that you can find a place where your music fits absolutely perfectly into that. Bree tells us how she combined Christian music and Broadway music and jazz all in the same performance, you've got an audience that likes variety. So you're not stuck in one genre. You just need to know what your audience is, where you are and how you can serve them.Right now, you don’t need to live in a specific place to make your music career happen. Social media, Clubhouse, and others are platforms where you can share your music globally and you can take advantage of the opportunities the internet offers. Now you don’t need to be in a particular city to meet people. Courses, curriculum, coaching -- teaching artists, how to be better business people. Bree says that she is a hands-on creator who likes to sit down, jot down a few bullet points and then go on a live stream and talk to get her creative juices going. That way she comes up with her ideas in a much more active manner that makes her feel productive. She also told us that she is finding her podcasts much more fun than a single-event summit.What are some of the topics Bree covers in her podcast?Making money from musicWays to be more efficient while making money from music Different tools to use to make your life easier Female-centered businesses What, what advice or insight would Bree have for someone who is a female and entrepreneur and a musician right now?Consider thinking about yourself as an entrepreneur Find a community of like-minded female entrepreneur musicians like yourself or aspiring ones that are doing what you're wanting to do, where you can get that kind of support.Mentorship and having a group of supportive other females is really important.Make sure to follow Bree in all her projects and find out more about how to make money from your music by going to her website: profitablemusician.com. And if you're a female artists and you're looking for a community, Bree has a free community, a place where you can be with other artists that are trying to do the same thing.
