592 – What Am I Doing Here?

In this episode, I am joined my great friend, Mark Mason. We share a bit of an update about what happened with my workshop at Social Media Marketing World 2019 and we then transition into a conversation about how people end up getting invited into someone else's “inner circle.”  Let's Work Together:I mentor coaches, consultants and thought leaders through the transition from an unfulfilling day job to a profitable online business so that you can live the life of your dreams and do the work you feel most called to do in the world. Over the past decade, I have had the privilege and honor of working with folks like Michael Hyatt, Pat Flynn, Amy Porterfield, Ray Edwards, John Lee Dumas, Dan Miller and thousands of others on the successful launch of their audio podcasts. The most exciting part of my work, with many of these folks, has been helping them create and build a profitable online business around their podcasting efforts.

591 – A Personal Update

This week's episode is simply a personal update. As I get ready to leave for Social Media Marketing world, I had a lot of projects to wrap up and didn't have a chance to prepare for a normal episode of the show. I simply wrote down a list of significant projects that I've been working on and decided to talk about those projects.   I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

589 – Unrealistically High Standards

In this episode, I talk about the paralyzing results of setting unrealistically high standards for what we produce, whether that be an online course, a live workshop, a conference or even a simple weekly podcast episode. Sometimes, we have limiting beliefs about what it actually takes to create something that adds extremely high value to others. In this episode, I simply pull three items from my journal that inspired me this week and show how this, alone, can create an incredible amount of value for my audience. Note: At the end of the episode, I mention that there are only four spots remaining in the very first Thriving Marriage Workshop. Click here To Register Now I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

586 – The Value of Working Hard & Sacrifice

My friend, Chris, sent me an email that linked the the photo shared above. His email said… “Hi Cliff, I saw this post in my LinkedIn feed today. While I understand some of what he’s saying, i.e. entrepreneurship is hard, I just felt that parts of what he said don’t ring true. I’m curious to know what you think about what he says here. Agree, disagree or it depends? Have a good one, Chris” I clicked on the link in the email which took me to a post that Gary Vaynerchuck posted to his LinkedIn account. Here's what he wrote… “This is a picture of me. I'm catching up on some sleep on the floor of an airport between meetings. My videographer captured the picture. Now, don’t get me wrong … I’m not encouraging anyone to work to the point of burnout or exhaustion. I just want to share my truth and the lifestyle that I’m actually living. Here are a few points about entrepreneurship and starting your own business that I really want to make sure everyone understands: 1. It’s unbelievably lonely. 
 2. You have to deal with a lot of mental pressure and stress that comes with being the “last line of defense” at an organization. 
 3. You need to have the internal strength to deal with the judgement that the outside world deploys on you when (not if) you lose. 4. If you aspire to live a top 1% life aka finding your happiness (i.e. running a business that funds your life on your own terms), you're going to have to work hard and give up some leisure for that to happen … depending on your ambition. There are so many people who are going to get crushed over the next few years because they're starting companies, when they could've succeeded “within the system” at big companies. I implore you all to get real self-aware about who you are, and navigate your life around that. Not who you wish you were.” In this episode, I share my thoughts on Hard Work and Sacrifice and also my direct response to the photo and the words that Gary shared in his post.   I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

585 – Product Validation

584 – Focus On What You Want To Have Happen

In this episode, I talk about the value of validating your products or services before investing your time, effort and energy into the actual creation of those products or services. The main emphasis of this episode, however, is actually a daily affirmation that means a great deal to me. I will not focus on what I don’t want to have happen. Instead I am committed to focusing on what I do want to have happen.  In the episode, I share just how this affirmation applies to the the concept of my process for validating products and services.   I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.
