In this episode, I share a deep and insightful conversation with Graham Cochrane. We delved into the journey of making significant shifts in our careers, the challenges that come with it, and the immense growth that can be achieved through these transitions. We discussed the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing the unknown, and the power of mindset in overcoming hurdles and achieving success. Graham shared his personal experiences of pivoting from being known as the 'music recording guy' to becoming a successful business coach. We explored the concept of 'inviting yourself', the power of taking the first step, and the importance of gaining experience through one-on-one coaching. We also touched on the potential pitfalls of personality tests and the importance of not letting them define your identity. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone considering a bold career pivot or seeking to navigate their career transitions with confidence.

Imagine having the ability to consistently create value for others while living life freely on your terms. What if you could do so while sharing your passion and knowledge in a way that impacts others? It's a dream held by many, but often stifled by self-limiting fear and imposter syndrome. I recently received an email from a community member grappling with these very struggles. He's worked as an elite engineer for 20+ years, surrounded by amazing people, yet the joy he once derived from his work has faded. He's 'marking time,' tethered to his job by 'golden handcuffs.' Sound familiar? He dreams of breaking free, stepping into a new role, and teaching aspiring engineers the software skills they need. Yet, he's haunted by three significant fears: Imposter Syndrome, the fear of failing and the fear of family push-back due to the time investment required. I engaged him with three powerful questions, and I invite you to ponder these too: 1. What specific fears hold you back when you think about making a change or stepping into a new role? 2. How would your life and work look if you could break free from those "golden handcuffs" and fully embrace your passion? 3. What actions have you taken to overcome your imposter syndrome and how have they worked for you so far? In this episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, I delve into this individual's journey towards freeing the dream within him. I share his responses to the powerful questions listed above and provide valuable insights to help anyone struggling with similar obstacles. Tune in to discover how to navigate fear, imposter syndrome, and other barriers to your dreams. I want to share some key takeaways from this conversation that could be game-changing for you: 1. First and foremost, if you've never owned a business before, you likely don't have what it takes to operate one successfully... yet. But the good news? Skills, routines, and mindset shifts can all be learned. I'm here to help you with that. 2. Failure is inevitable along the journey. It's not a reflection of who you are. It's a stepping stone on your path to success. Remember, even the most successful people fail along the way. 3. Potential pushback from family? It can be managed. Clear communication, setting boundaries, and showing results are key. And remember, nothing speaks louder than consistently generating more income in less time. 4. Imposter syndrome plagues most successful people. The trick is learning to recognize it and move past it. Finding a role model, joining a mastermind group, hiring a coach - these can all help you push through. 5. Have a clear vision of what you want to create. Visualize it, feel it, and make it so tangible that the thought of not having it is unimaginable. Remember, achieving your dream doesn't always require starting a business. It might be possible to find the fulfillment you crave in other ways. If you need help in gaining clarity about what you want to create and how to get it, consider the Free The Dream Online Course. For a more immersive, personalized experience, my Day With Cliff Mentoring Experience might be just what you need. Your journey is unique. It's time to unleash your potential and create the life and career you've always wanted. Sincerely, Cliff

Welcome back to another powerful episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show. In this episode, I had the great privilege of sitting down with my dear friend, Ray Edwards, to discuss his newest book, "Read This Or Die." Ray's book, as the title might suggest, is not just an ordinary read – it's a life-changing guide that alters how you perceive your world. This is a book about revolutionizing your life by harnessing the power of words, and making use of the transformative tools already at your disposal. Ray's belief is simple yet profound: Everything you need to transform your life is available to you right now. The catch is, few people can make these changes, not due to a lack of desire, but because of a lack of understanding. In his book, Ray opens up about how to initiate these changes, and how you can convince yourself of the need to change. Ray also opened up about his fight with Parkinson's, his belief in a better future, and how, paradoxically, this belief was holding him back from living his life fully in the present moment. In our conversation, we delved deep into Ray's journey, discussing the time when he had hit rock bottom, even contemplating ending his life. We talked about how he wrestled with an increasingly worsening condition, his frustrations, and the intense pain he felt. It's heart-wrenching, but crucial to understanding the wisdom he shares in his book. One of the most exciting parts of our discussion centered on a miraculous turnaround that happened in Ray's life – an event that took place four months after he finished the manuscript for his book. I won't spoil the surprise for you here. You'll have to tune into the episode to hear this remarkable story. Ray's book offers profound insights that will help you let go of your old beliefs, embrace change, and navigate the journey to a better life. The real transformation begins when we face the beliefs that created our present reality, and Ray's book provides the roadmap for this. I can't stress enough how impactful "Read This Or Die" is. If you're ready to write a new chapter in your life, this book is your guide. I encourage you to grab a copy at http://ReadThisOrDieBook.com. I'm excited for you to listen to this episode and start your own journey of transformation. As always, thank you for tuning into The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.

In this deeply personal and revealing episode, I share my unique experiences with fatherhood, childhood trauma, and the healing journey that followed. I open up about having two dads, dynamics of my relations with each of them. I also candidly discuss two significant mistakes I made as a father and the lessons I learned from them. Perhaps the most profound part of this episode are the two metaphysical experiences I had after my biological dad's death that led to complete healing from childhood trauma and a restored relationship with him. Join me for this raw and powerful look into my life, as I share insights that may resonate with your own journey and inspire you to seek healing and forgiveness.

In this deeply insightful podcast episode, my best friend Ray Edwards and I explore the life-changing principles found in Don Miguel Ruiz's book, "The Four Agreements." We share our personal experiences with these powerful agreements, discussing how they have impacted our lives, especially during challenging moments. We dive into each of the Four Agreements, sharing anecdotes and perspectives on how to be impeccable with our word, not take things personally, not make assumptions, and always do our best. We also cover a "Fifth Agreement," emphasizing the importance of being skeptical while also listening with an open mind. These agreements have had a profound and positive impact on both our lives, helping us navigate the complexities of the world around us. Throughout the episode, we discuss the importance of recognizing our own belief systems and understanding the collective dream of society. We explore how we can break free from the limiting beliefs and agreements we have made with ourselves to create a more fulfilling and authentic life. This engaging conversation is a testament to the transformative power of the Four Agreements. We hope that you will be inspired to apply these principles to your own life, opening the door to personal growth and a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. Note: At the very end of this episode, I added a very personal update about my own journey of spiritual growth and how my beliefs have evolved over the past three and a half years. After reading the Autobiography of a Yogi in 2020, I felt compelled to explore various spiritual paths and have spent countless hours learning from Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, Muslim, Shaman, Druid and many other ancient teachings. I still consider myself a follower of Christ, yet I do understand that my evolving beliefs may cause some listeners to unsubscribe or distance themselves from me, but I want you to know that I don't judge or take it personally. In fact, I respect those who follow their own path in alignment with their beliefs. I've felt a nudge in my heart to authentically share my journey with you, particularly if you're also seeking a broader understanding of God and spirituality, as it relates to your personal and professional growth, what you want to create in this world, and ultimately living the life you feel most called to live. As a result of my spiritual growth, my coaching practice has become more diverse, with clients from various religious backgrounds, including fundamentalist Christians (my background for the first 47 years of my life), Orthodox Jews, Buddhists, and even atheists. In all instances, I've witnessed true miracles take place and I've been able to incorporate tools and techniques that are respectful of each client's beliefs without there being any need to deconstruct their personal beliefs about God. I want to invite you to connect with me further, whether it's through one-on-one coaching, the Next Level Mastermind, an online course, or attending the Free the Dream Workshop. Head over to my website to explore these opportunities, and let's continue our personal and professional growth journeys together, with a strong emphasis on mindset development. Please note that in this season of my professional life, I work mostly with full-time self-employed business owners, entrepreneurs, coaches, authors, speakers, digital creators, and those who are wanting to create this self-employed and/or business ownership lifestyle. As we work together on your personal and business growth, if you're interested in discussing our spiritual lives, I am more than happy to do so. I can either work within your current system of beliefs or we can explore and expand our beliefs together, but only if desired. The choice is yours, and I'm here to support you in whichever path you choose.    Are you looking to drive growth and increase the visibility of your business?

Several years ago, I realized that my brand, Podcast Answer Man, wasn't fully reflecting the guidance I was providing to those seeking strategies, tools and techniques to [fill in the blank]. That's why I decided to evolve my brand to Mindset Answer Man - to provide a better indication of the kind of advice I was giving. As the result of working with so many people, I began to recognize patterns between those who were successful in achieving their podcasting goals and those who were not. What I found was that despite having helped many people launch their podcasts, many of them had built their podcasting efforts on a shaky foundation, leaving them unable to experience the full potential of podcasting. In this episode, I explore how important the order of operations of STATE, STORY, and STRATEGY is to creating the most successful outcomes.   Are you looking to drive growth and increase the visibility of your business?

In this episode, I share an enlightening conversation with Michael Hyatt about his upcoming book, Mind Your Mindset, releasing on January 31st. Our discussion contains powerful insights about mindset and how to transform your thinking to achieve the results you desire in life. This is an episode that you'll definitely want to listen to a second time and take notes!  Below are just a few of the insights contained within this episode: Everything rises or falls on your thinking. Michael paid his executive coach "an unbelievable amount of money" to come and meet with him once a month. The tough question: “What was it about your leadership that led to these results?” The problem is not “out there.” The problem is “In here.” It takes someone seeing your situation from another perspective to help you see other possible narratives about your situation. The Narrator is not you! “I am not my beliefs, I’m the believer.” “Don’t believe everything you think.” It’s like we are writing this novel that is the story of our lives. We get to decide what facts are relevant and what meaning is derived from those facts. The meaning that we assign will determine our feelings, which determine our actions which determine our results in life. “What do I have to believe for me to feel this way?” “What was I thinking yesterday that was empowering?” “What was I thinking yesterday that was disempowering?” The power of journaling for self-reflection and self-awareness. The power of giving a friend the permission to question our thinking. The power of Power Naps. “The More I Rest, The More I Receive.” The power of pre-loading your subconscious mind with a task just before going to sleep at night.
