Hustle & Flowchart: Mastering Business & Enjoying the Journey

We've got a Therapy Session episode for you today with some of our biggest insights from the month of June. Be on the lookout for more Therapy Sessions at the end of each month.

On today’s show, we are chatting with Chris Ross who gave us a total masterclass on sales which is pure gold. Chris is a fellow podcaster and runs TCR Consulting Agency and on today’s show, he does a deep dive into the conversations he has with his potential clients. He really gets into the mental game of sales and the mindset you need to have to approach it for success. He also shared with us his daily routine and his goal to improve each and every day by 1% as well as how to handle objections. It’s less about scripting and more about how your brain needs to be when entering into the conversation. Chris also has a podcast, aptly name the Win-Win Effect and on that show, you will learn sales at a level you most likely have never heard before, without all the questionable methods but selling with a giving, connecting, and problem-solving intention. You will definitely have some mind shifts and a-ha moments about selling while listening in, so check this one out. And once you are done, be sure to check out the show we referred to with Chris Voss (not to be confused with our guest) and with Marshall Sylver for even more success traits for being a great salesperson.  “If you are really struggling with your sales, and if you want to experience what it feels like to have zero buyer’s remorse, ask them “What, When, Why, How” questions.” - Chris Ross Some Topics We Discussed Include: Chris’ method to make himself 1% better on a daily basis The importance of taking notes (and not on your phone) Some great examples of conversations when dealing with objections as well as getting your potential clients into the right frame of mind The international speaker who changed Chris’s life around Starting your day off right, without being overwhelmed by social media, and most importantly, being tied to your phone Examples of how some well-known people learn from their failures and how you can put this same thing into practice to improve How to set up the conversation right from the start to let them know you are working on their behalf Give us a shout at info@evergreenprofits.com if you have an idea for an awesome name we can attribute to all of our awesome listeners (because HustleAndFlowcharters is way too long) And much, much more!

Erin Pheil joins us on the show today and she is talking about how to get over mental roadblocks that get you stuck. These can be mindset blocks for anything, whether it be personal or business, and she gave several practical, tactical steps, and exercises that you can do to shatter those beliefs. It’s actually a fun, interesting process and Erin gives us real-world examples that are totally relatable. We even talk about some of our own patterns where Erin guides us through the steps to evaluate where they came from so we can uncover mental roadblocks in our business.  Erin is so amazing, we even booked a follow-up call where she is going to continue to help us work through some of these other patterns. You will love this episode and Erin is going to get you unstuck with some simple questions and quick tactics that do not take long to do.

If you can change the lens through which you see the world, everything else can change too.” - Erin Pheil Some Topics We Discussed Include: What the heck is mindful yawning and how to use it in a conversation (without falling asleep) Example questions to ask yourself to get to the root of your belief Beneficial ways to journal to help clear out limiting beliefs Real-world examples of dealing with common misconceptions that many of us learned at children How a mysterious illness changed Erin’s life forever The all too common imposter syndrome and Erin’s tips to help us get over that ourselves How to invoke Solomon’s Paradox to change your beliefs on your own That time you saw Santa at the mall and the real impact it may have had And much, much more!

Adam Lewis Walker is totally in the zone in this interview and if you’ve ever wanted to get your message out into the world via the TED platform or are curious about the behind the scenes action there, listen in. We talked first, about how to get onto the TEDx stage, which Adam knows all too well. We also talk about how to “Awaken Your Alpha” which is the title of Adam’s TEDx talk as well as his book and podcast. Adam’s focus is all about getting the right mindset, confidence, and everything you need to push your life forward. With his podcast, he discusses how to get your own TED talks, debunking the process along the way as well as what to do at the talk, how to hone in your message to conform with their time restraints, and what to do once you get the talk. Oftentimes, people don’t do enough to leverage that publicity, so Adam gives us great information on what to do with that talk once you get it. So there’s the mindset stuff plus tactical stuff in this show, a double whammy!

If you enjoy listening to Felicia’s tactics, you’ll love even more branding insight from our shows with Billy Gene Shaw and Steven Sashen. “You don’t have to create new content, to appeal to people with a new presentation or new concept, what you do is shift your perception around it and realize there are lots of different ways to get that content consumed.” - Felicia Pagesh Some Topics We Discussed Include: Felicia’s four-step method to streamlining your business The two main things that work like gangbusters for her clients Tips for re-engaging people who have not consumed your entire webinar but have shown interest in your offer Key resources to have while you are building out your campaign Questions to ask yourself before you spend a huge chunk of time building a potential new business How to view your product or service in the eyes of your customer Multiple ways to deconstruct your webinar into multiple pieces of content And much, much more!

Greg is another awesome fellow marketer we got the chance to hang out with at Rich Schefren’s event in Florida, and luckily so as you cannot be around this guy and not have a huge smile on your face. He has amazing energy and ideas and on this show we cover a lot of ground with him. We also held a mastermind at Podfest, and the things Greg talked about there blew everyone’s mind in that room, so we wanted to share that in this show as well. Listen in as he explains how he got a partnership deal with Entrepeneur.com and his reality show onto Amazon Prime, and how he was able to make those deals with these high profile companies. He’s giving away amazing resources (one that’s so good you need to listen in to discover). Plus, while his business took a huge hit due to COVID, he reinvented his business model to create a brand new six figure business, all within a week. When you’re done listening, you can learn more about branding strategies from our talks with Steven Sashen and Marshall Wayne. “It’s really hard to build an audience and you have to work your tail off...I look at, if I want to build an audience, who already has my audience that I can tap into and add value to in some way.” - Greg Rollett Some Topics We Discussed Include: A resource that is so good, we can’t list it here (but listen to the show and you’ll find out what it is!)  Matt reminisces about his very first band (and why they needed to change their name) How Greg is documentoring his tribe (yes, we created a new word) How to partner with the big brands - Amazon, Entrepreneur.com, and others Why mailing people stuff really helps you stand out (just like our newsletter that you can get in the mail!) How to have breakfast with Larry King (which just might lead to a book deal) The right way to crowdfund for projects, whether you are just starting out or if you have an existing audience What Greg would do differently now if he was creating video content all over again From one business tanking because of COVID to creating a brand new one all within a week And much, much more!
