The Cliff Ravenscraft Show — Where Strategy Meets Soul

One thing I've learned over the past decade is that there seems to be endless opportunties when it comes to generating an income with your internet connection. In this episode, I feature a weird mix between a conversation and an interview with my great friend, Jake Lang. I'm still trying to navigate the concept of having guests on this podcast. Jake has had a unique journey in creating an online business. While he did not experience great success with his first two online business pursuits, he did land on a niche business that has generated enough income that has him on the path of leaving his day job within the very near future.

In this week's episode, I feature a conversation with Paul David Thompson who transitioned from a middle management, employee, position into full-time real estate investing. Three years ago, he didn't even own his first property. Today, he's developed his own identity as a credible influencer within his industry. I hope that you'll enjoy hearing a bit of his story.

I am beginning a series of episodes where I will share conversations with those who I have had the privilege to work with through the various products and services that I offer. I'm intentionally choosing to bring on folks who have inspired me by the massive action that they have taken in pursuit of their dreams. In this week's episode, I feature a conversation with Casey Price from TheStressedOutCaregiver.com. Casey is an Elder Law attorney that is dedicated to providing tips and strategies to everyone providing care for an elderly loved one. We learn a bit about Casey's background and how he working to create online products and services that will scale his ability to help more people find caring for an elderly loved one just a little less stressful.

Apply for the Next Level Mastermind at NextLevelMastermind.info. “Your life will be the direct reflection of the expectations of your peer group.” – Tony Robbins I fell in love with that quote the instant I heard it at one of Tony's Unleash The Power Within events. Jim Rohn said it this way… “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” If there is an area of your life that is not going as well as you would like, you may need to investigate who has the most influence, in your life, in this area. It may be time to “upgrade your peer group.” My first full year of full-time self-employment was riddled with self-doubt, overwhelm from all that I was being told I needed to do, and lack of clarity of what I needed to focus on next. As a result, that first year was the most difficult year, financially, that I have ever experienced in my lifetime. I can tell tell you that those difficult times were definitely worth it. However, with that said, looking back from the perspective of knowing what I know today, I now realize that things didn't have to be quite so hard. For me, everything changed in October 2010, when I discovered “the mastermind principle” and launched my very first “mastermind group.” I define a mastermind as “a small group of people who meet on a consistent basis, where every member of the group is 100% committed to the success of every other member in the group.” The concept of the mastermind was formally introduced by Napoleon Hill in his book, “Think and Grow Rich.” Hill stated, that through your participation in a healthy mastermind group, “you may borrow and use the education, the experience, the influence and perhaps the capital of other people in carrying out your own plans in life.” The Green Room MastermindIn October 2010, I was working with Pat Flynn, helping him launch his “Smart Passive Income” podcast. Through our conversations, I learned that he had recently discovered the mastermind principle as well. I knew that Pat was someone that I would trust to enter into a mastermind relationship with, so I asked him if he would join me in the start of our own mastermind group. He said yes and our personal and professional lives have grown in ways that neither of us would have imagined at the time. Our mastermind group has met for one hour, every week since. Today, our group is known as the “Green Room Mastermind Group” which is made up of myself, Pat Flynn (Smart Passive Income), Michael Stelzner (Social Media Examiner), Ray Edwards (Ray Edwards International), Mark Mason (Late Night Internet Marketing) and Leslie Samuel (Become A Blogger).   The Green Room Mastermind is not open to new members. However, for more than eight years, I've facilitated a number of paid mastermind groups where it gives me great joy to see others experience the following benefits of being in a healthy mastermind group. You benefit greatly from the the education, the experience, the influence and even the resources of the other people in your mastermind group. You can accomplish more, in one year, than you could accomplish, without your mastermind group, in a lifetime, if you relied entirely on your own efforts for success. When you form a true mastermind alliance with others, and work with them in a spirit of perfect harmony, you can draw freely upon the spiritual forces within you in carrying out your plans and desires. The mastermind principle can give you protection against failure, provided always that your purpose, in using this principle, is beneficial to all whom you influence. You will experience dramatic improvements in both your personal and professional life. You will have more focus and greater confidence in yourself and your abilities. You will have more clarity about what you need to focus on next. You will have the momentum and energy that you need to sustain you through the rough spots You will experience less false starts and spend less time learning through trial and error. You will have a deeper understanding of how you are perceived by others. You will sharpen your leadership and communication skills. You will be giving and receiving in an warm and friendly environment You will achieve your goals faster than you ever dreamed possible. The Next Level Mastermind In November 2017, I launched the Next Level Mastermind. This is a paid mastermind group for those who are on the journey of full-time self-employment. I recently recorded a brand new promotional video for the Next Level Mastermind. However, in this video, I did something completely different than any other marketing material I've created in the past. In the past, I would host a webinar, or just create a pre-recorded video, where I would talk about each of the benefits of being in a mastermind group and tell stories of how those benefits had rang true in my own journey. I thought it would be interesting if I actually used one of our group's “open hot seats” where I would simply say the benefit and allow existing members of the Next Level Mastermind share how these benefits have been experienced in their own lives. If you are wondering why anyone would pay $1,000 per month and commit to a 90 minute meeting, every single week, during their most productive hours of their work week, I would highly encourage you to watch this video. Who are the most influential people in your life when it comes to how you think about the direction you are heading in your business? Is it time to upgrade your peer group? CLICK HERE TO APPLY FOR THE NEXT LEVEL MASTERMIND We would love to meet with you on a weekly basis to help you take every area of your life to the next level.

Each month, I will take on one or two new “one-on-one mentoring” clients. I had the great honor of working with Clint Schumacher in a mentoring capacity from December 2017 through the first few months of 2018. Recently, Clint wrote the following to me in an email… “So excited to hear that the Free the Dream conference was a huge success! Excited for you and your impact! At some point, I need to send you an update on exciting life events that I’ve walked into since our mentoring sessions. In shortest summary, I’ve never felt more alive and secure in walking in God’s path for me than I have in 2018.” I could just tell that this was going to be an incredible follow up call. I had the crazy idea of asking Clint if he would mind me recording our conversation to use as a podcast episode. He graciously agreed to do so and that conversation, featuring many of the insights that Clint gained from our mentoring sessions, is the focus of this week's episode.   I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

In this episode, I am joined by my wife, Stephanie, and my boyfriend (LOL- Explained in the episode), Mark Mason, as we discuss what happened at the very first Free The Dream Conference. Below is the VLOG episode that I mentioned at the beginning of the episode.   Let's Work Together: I mentor coaches, consultants […] The post 564 – Dream Together appeared first on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.

We are now only one week away from the Free The Dream Conference. It's been a full year since I first announced my desire to host this event. Over the past year, I've shared that my goal is to have a minimum of 300 people attend. As of right, all evidence points to the fact that we'll end up with approximately 1/3 of the audience size that I had hoped to attract. In this episode of the podcast, I ask myself a very important question… “What Does This Mean?” There's still time to CLICK HERE TO RESERVE YOUR SEAT FOR FREE THE DREAM.   I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.
