He highlights the transformative power of the book '48 Days to the Work You Love' and the shift to digital reading through the Kindle and Audible apps. Ravenscraft shares his technique for managing multiple reads and provides tips for enhancing the reading experience, including organizing books using Kindle collections.

In this episode, I share the recording of a live stream coaching session that I did with Scott Blair.  Scott is an aspiring entrepreneur with a burning desire to dedicate more of his professional life to his true calling. Despite achieving remarkable success at his job, even becoming the #1 regional sales manager at his company, Scott faces challenges. He grapples with impostor syndrome and struggles to foster the self-discipline and consistency needed to realize his dream of launching an online business. When queried about his most significant personal or professional development challenge, Scott responded, "Finding a true mentor genuinely invested in my success." During our session, I aim to share with Scott a thought that came to me: "You are the mentor you seek." If you're on the hunt for greater purpose, productivity, and passion, this session might inspire a revelation: the mentor you've been searching for resides within you. I have no doubt that you'll also pick up a large number of additional insights as you join Scott and I on the journey that we had through our conversation.

In this episode, you'll gain amazing new insights as you listen to my 90-minute live coaching session with Andrea. Together, we dive deep into transforming her limiting beliefs, setting a vision for her ideal future, and outlining actionable next steps. Andrea shares her desire to shift from survival mode—working multiple jobs—to having more freedom, self-care, and the ability to serve others in a profound way. We explore techniques such as scripting, visualization, and transformative language to align her mindset with her goals. Some key highlights include: The uplifting effects of focusing on what you want to lift your emotional state and consciousness. The power of the "Dream Machine," and how it aids in achieving your goals. How dreaming can open you up to hearing that "inner voice." Transitioning from "faking it" to truly embodying desired states of being. The art of using transformative language to enhance your life. Practical steps that Andrea can take over the next 3-6 months to continue her transformation. Andrea walks away with greater clarity and several commitments to continue raising her mindset and energy. Whether you're working on your own growth or supporting others in their journeys, I hope this real coaching case study provides you with ideas and encouragement to pursue your biggest dreams!

I recently published episode 705 of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show where I invited my great friend, Megan Porta, to have a conversation about our experiences with manifesting success and turning our dreams into reality. We included "The Law of Attraction" in the title. The feedback that has come in from that episode has been incredible. Most of the feedback was along the lines of surprise that I, Cliff Ravenscraft, am a strong believer in "The Law of Attraction." One person wrote that she was blown away when she heard that I enjoy the teachings of Abraham Hicks, telling me that she, herself, has been "a closet Abraham Hicks fan" for many years. I've received so many questions, requesting more insight about how the Law of Attraction works. I have also received a large number of emails from people who have grown up from a similar faith tradition, where they have felt drawn to learn more about the Law of Attraction, but fear how they would be perceived by others if anyone found out that they were studying it. They wanted to know how I, given how far I was into the Protestant, Evangelical, Fundamentalist worldview, was introduced to the Law of Attraction and how I overcame the warnings that this community has given against such study. I decided to take all my years of notes on the Law of Attraction and everyone's questions that I have received, and I created an evergreen resource in the form of a full Law of Attraction Workshop. This podcast is the full audio recording of that workshop. In this episode, I mentioned the link http://awakening.cliffravenscraft.com and I also told you that I'd include my email address, cliff@cliffravenscraft.com. I'd love for you to email me and let me know your thoughts on this episode.

In this empowering episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, I share how to break through the fears holding you back from fully stepping into your purpose and sharing your fullest expression of your authentic self with the world. I discuss the four primary fears that sabotage our dreams - fear of rejection, fear of judgment, fear of failure, and feeling not good enough. We explore where these fears originate, how they hold us back, and why it’s so critical we move through them. The costs of letting fear win are huge - missed opportunities, lack of fulfillment, failing to share our gifts. I offer three mindset shifts to stop fear in its tracks: From fearing others’ opinions to approving of yourself From fearing failure to seeing it as learning From feeling inadequate to authentic self-expression I also provide tips to take action despite the discomfort of fear. Embracing vulnerability and courage is key. Living authentically allows us to fully be ourselves, inspire others, and attract those who resonate with our energy. I want to ignite that spark of courage in you to start unapologetically shining your light. You CAN move through fear and boldly express the unique gifts within you. This episode will show you how so you can say YES to your wildest dreams! The Six Journaling Prompts To Break Through Each Fear You Face What is the fear that you are experiencing? What are the root causes of that fear? What are the costs of letting this fear win? What mindset shifts are required to move beyond this fear?

I'm so excited to share this episode with you! I had the pleasure of being joined by my good friend Megan Porta. As an experienced entrepreneur in the food blogging space, Megan brings a wealth of knowledge. And like me, she has a passion for the topics of manifestation and the Law of Attraction. In this episode, Megan and I give an overview of what manifestation and the Law of Attraction are all about. We share some of our own personal stories of times we've successfully manifested things into our lives. Megan and I have seen the power of intention and positive thinking. We dive into tips and insights for being more deliberate and effective at manifesting your desires. This includes getting clear on your goals, detaching from the outcome, taking aligned action, and maintaining positive energy. Megan and I both agree that manifesting with intention takes dedication and consistency. But with practice, it can absolutely transform your life experience. A highlight from this episode was sharing our top two favorite takeaways from the classic book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. The teachings from this book formed a foundational understanding the basics of the Law of Attraction philosophy. Key lessons include the power of desire, faith, autosuggestion, and having a definite purpose. To wrap up an enlightening conversation, Megan and I each share the most important lesson we've learned so far on our entrepreneurial journeys.  I'm so grateful to Megan for joining me and I know you'll love this manifestation-focused episode! Remember, you have the power to intentionally shape your life through focused thought. Believe in yourself and take inspired action. You've got this!

On today’s show, we explored four powerful rules for cultivating an empowered entrepreneurial mindset. These principles have been game-changing for me as an entrepreneur. By applying them, I’ve been able to stay focused on what matters most through the rollercoaster ride of building multiple businesses over the past 15+ years. I hope they provide value to you on your journey as well. Here’s a quick recap of the four rules we covered: Rule #1 - Accept What You Can’t Control As entrepreneurs, so much feels out of our hands. I shared the story of when my site crashed right after an email launch. Instead of staying calm, I stressed for hours trying to fix it immediately. Accepting I couldn't control the server outage would have saved so much time and energy. Key Takeaway - Let go of wishing external factors would change. Control your response instead. Rule #2 - Choose Positivity I told the story of when a key referral partner launched a competing product. My first reaction was feeling betrayed and imagining disaster. But I reframed the situation - what could I learn and create from here? A positive mindset empowers you. Key Takeaway - Stay solution-focused. Look for opportunities instead of complaining. Rule #3 - Focus on What Matters It's easy to get lost in business tasks and metrics. But stay centered on your core purpose - to serve your customers and community. I gave the example of over-obsessing on systems versus showing up to help people. Key Takeaway - Don't lose your big vision in the weeds. Keep centered on bringing value. Rule #4 - Appreciate the Journey Remember that progress happens slowly. Celebrate small wins along the way. I've been guilty, in the past, of not relishing the journey enough in my focus on growth. Key Takeaway - Enjoy the process and incremental gains. Don't just focus on the end goal. Want to Take This Deeper? If you're an entrepreneur who resonates with these principles and wants to take them even deeper, I have an invitation for you. I run a high-level mastermind group called Next Level Mastermind, where we do the important work of internal transformation and mindset mastery in order to build breakthrough businesses. We meet on a weekly basis and do deep dives on these concepts. Members become like family as we support each other's growth. Learn more about Next Level Mastermind at NextLevelMastermind.info. I'd love for you to join us! Final Note: I just briefly mentioned the new community I'm building for those on a Spiritual Awakening / Deconstruction Journey. I'll share more about this in a future episode. However, if you already know you'd like to be a part of something link this, sign up today (It's Free!) at https://awakening.cliffravenscraft.com.

In this episode, I share a recording from a recent Ask Me Anything session that I hosted. During the session, Kristy posted the following question in the chat: "I need courage to start a blog that I can monetize. Do you have any words of wisdom? I've tried starting a blog in the past but struggled with maintaining consistency. I don't want to fall into old habits. Please advise. Thanks!" In response, I shared a powerful story to illustrate why Kristy may have been struggling to find the courage to consistently create content for her blog and take the necessary steps towards monetizing it. Following this, I discussed the most common mistake that bloggers and podcasters make when they are looking to establish an online business, and offered advice on how to avoid falling into the same trap.
