It's not good for your mindset and as far as I know, no one has even gotten wealthy cutting back and thinking narrow.

“Before we can have a customer, we must first have a buyer.” That is one of my favorite lines from the book we’re going to discuss today.  It is a notion that is intuitively simple, but not initially obvious. Today I speak with author Carole Mahoney about her upcoming book Buyer First: Grow Your Business with Collaborative Selling. Carole explains how a buyer-centric experience starts from the very first interaction, and why it's essential to challenge traditional notions of sales. She reiterates that "selling is not something we do to other people; it is something we do with them," and explores how collaboration is key to creating a positive buyer experience. Carole shares common mistakes businesses make when creating buyer experiences, including relying on the product to sell itself, and offers valuable insights on how to approach sales with a buyer-centric mindset. Whether you're an entrepreneur or a sales professional, this conversation offers practical advice and actionable steps to help you put the buyer first and grow your business.   Author of Buyer First: Grow Your Business with Collaborative Selling, Carole is changing the way the entire sales industry sees itself — and how buyers see it too. She has been called the “Sales Therapist” at Harvard Business School where she coaches on sales for their Entrepreneurial MBA program. She is also the President of the AA-ISP Boston Chapter, been named as a top sales influencer by LinkedIn and Sales Hacker, and voted a top sales coach by Ambition. With the heart of a teacher and the spirit of a coach, Carole is ready to share how you can unlock the success you’ve never thought possible.   And be sure to subscribe to The Self-Employed Life in Apple Podcasts or follow us on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts so you don’t miss an episode.   Everything you need can all be found at jeffreyshaw.com.   Carole Mahoney, thank you so much for being here!

One of the things that intrigues me about the journey of success and being a high achiever is the internal challenges, often unexpected, that we face when where we end up in life is very different than where we started. In today’s episode, I talk with Anthony Trucks about his personal journey of transforming his identity and overcoming challenges. Anthony shares his own experience of feeling stuck between his current and desired selves, what he calls the "identity gap." He emphasizes the need to tap into something deeper and darker than positivity alone to overcome obstacles. Anthony offers valuable insights on changing your mindset, beliefs, and habits to achieve your goals. Join us as we discuss how to make an identity shift and bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. This conversation will inspire you to transform your identity and reach success beyond your expectations. Anthony Trucks is a former Foster Child, NFL Football Player, Competitor on American Ninja Warrior, Author, Shift Coach and Entrepreneur. From foster care to the NFL, to successful business owner, Anthony Trucks has accomplished what statistics would say is impossible. As a speaker, identity shift coach, and founder of "Dark Work" and creator of the "Dark Work Experience" Anthony teaches people how to access the power of their identity, tap into their full potential, and Make Shift Happen!

There’s a good chance that no matter how great you are at what you do, you’re likely to be overlooked if you don’t speak up on your own behalf.  Has it ever bothered you that someone else less qualified, less impactful, or even less sincere got attention that you think you deserve? As is often the case when you’re self-employed, the only person you have to hold responsible for that feeling is yourself.  Maybe you need to be a better advocate for yourself.  In today’s episode, I speak with Lisa Bragg about her new book, Bragging Rights. Lisa shares her insights on why it's important to speak up on your own behalf, even if it goes against societal norms of humility. We discuss the difference between self-aggrandizing and expressing pride in your work, and why waiting for someone to notice your work is no longer enough in today's noisy world. Being too humble can cost you opportunities; tune in to learn how to promote yourself effectively and grow your business! Lisa Bragg has literally written the book on how to talk about success. Her book Bragging Rights: How to Talk about Your Work Using Purposeful Self-Promotion releases in May 2023. She is a speaker, advisor and professional mentor. Lisa is the founder of MediaFace, a Toronto-based content and consulting firm. She was also a TV reporter and anchor for 15 years.   And be sure to subscribe to The Self-Employed Life in Apple Podcasts or follow us on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts so you don’t miss an episode.

I’ve come to really like referring to limited thinking and mindsets as ceilings, because I think it really encompasses the problem. A limited mindset is a ceiling sitting on or close to your head, not enabling you the space you need to grow to your next level, particularly when it comes to money mindsets, which is what we're going to talk about today. My guest Israel Duran discusses the concept of a revenue ceiling, which can be both a hard barrier and a self-imposed mindset. He explains that to overcome this ceiling, you must become a different person and let go of the things that helped get you to where you are now. Israel offers three areas to focus on: mindset, toolset, and skillset, and emphasizes the importance of asking yourself who you need to become in order to break through the barrier. Whether you’re feeling stuck or simply looking to take your business to the next level, I’m sure you will find valuable insights and actionable steps in this conversation. Founder Israel Duran is known as the only “Visionary’s Mentor” who scales brands for high-profile clients using the IDA method. His team has worked with countless brands that have surpassed 6 and 7 figures, using the business optimization strategies taught and implemented by Israel.

Often we set goals, write them down, and maybe even create a vision board. We might even stick a post-it on our bathroom mirror intending to look at it goal every day. The problem is these things can eventually be easily overlooked.

Often, in order to move forward, we need to unwind from the past. As I like to teach, we must let go of something in order to grab the next thing in our lives and businesses, or to change a fundamental way we look at the world. This is because what got us here won’t necessarily get us to where we want to go next. Today I speak with Ellie Shefi, who shares her insights on how we can unprogram ourselves from external expectations and create a clear personal vision that drives every aspect of our lives. Ellie explains how to develop an Impervious Mind: a rock-solid identity that can withstand adversity. She emphasizes the importance of exploring our motivations and values, practicing self-care, and intentionally choosing our language to shift our mindset and overcome obstacles. Ellie also shares her experience with intentional and aligned business diversification. I am positive our conversation will help listeners examine their personal vision and values to move forward in business and life.   Ellie Shefi is an attorney, advisor, entrepreneur, leadership consultant, corporate trainer, keynote speaker, and #1 international best-selling author with over 30 years of experience in law, business, education, and advocacy. As the founder of MTC Consulting, Ellie advises governments, universities, corporations, entrepreneurs, and NGOs to build resilient teams, develop influential leaders, and optimize their operations. She serves on the leadership councils and advisory boards of nonprofits focused on civil rights, human rights, criminal justice reform, disaster recovery, fighting human trafficking, and ending mass atrocities. Ellie is the founder of the Made 2 Change the World ™ Foundation, an emerging nonprofit organization that equips and empowers the next generation with the tools, resources, and strategies they need to create the lives, communities, and world they envision.
