Many of his and students have built multi-million dollar businesses and have become top authors, bloggers, podcasters and speakers in their field. Today we talk about specific strategies to position yourself in a noisy market to best lead and serve in your unique way, while making a profit. The show notes are at https://thegoodlifecoach.com/038 Key Takeaways: Launched the first internet marketing podcast and launched a coaching business for budding entrepreneurs. He is passionate about helping his clients get recognized for their expertise and while getting paid to do what you love. The 3 M's: 1.Market - target audience — if you aren't gotten traction maybe you are being too general 2.Messaging - you need to speak to where the client is now. Speak to their pain. Don't get into the solution. Speak to top of mind stuff based on where they are at.Medium - show up where they are already at. How do you identify and focus on your "Unique Genius". Jason's definition is know your strengths and weaknesses. Knowing the circumstances that leads you to being your best. 3 Sources: to help you define it: 10-15 statements to where you are at your best. Ex, I create my greatest value when….. I am my most creative when…. Ask trusted advisors, friends and ask what are your strengths are. Take a the Strengths Finder by Sally Hogshead or her Strengths test for leadership Remember are resources are time, money, connections. Evaluate what you have the most of when you are starting. Look at where you are now and track all of the stuff you do over a couple of weeks. What percentage of my time do I spend on my unique genius per week. Now put it through the lens of my unique genius. Be consistent for 60-90 days. Pick 1-2 and really double down on there. A lead magnet should talk about pain points. Don't discuss solutions that people aren't aware of for the lead magnet. Create the kind of thing someone else might charge money for and post on social and your website to have people sign up. Jason's 3 Best Tips: Know who you want to serve first and foremost. Get to selling as quickly as possible. You need to be able to see what your offer is. Get one client and prove to yourself someone will pay for what you are offering. Really lean into being yourself. Play around with your voice. There is so much noise on the internet — the only way to find your voice is to turn it up to 11. There is something about your voice and your vulnerability. Experiment to find your voice.

Look to see who that producer's audience is - watch the show, read the magazine, watch the ads so you know who the audience is.

Treat them like a person. Create the relationship before the book is out. Get the practice. Being able to think visually for TV is key: Be able to be found by consistently sharing content.

To pitch television - you need to send a clip of you on video. They need to see what you look and sound like on camera. A producer will always do a pre-interview with you to avoid someone flat-line on camera. What colors should people wear? Always wear bold colors. Jewel tones are great. Solids. See what the set looks like and don't wear the same color as the set - you want to pop. Always bring a back-up wardrobe with you. Avoid patters because they are not good on camera. Also, avoid white and black as it doesn't look good on camera. Wear stuff you've worn before - don't test an outfit on TV. Same goes for jewelry. If you wear a dress - they will need to strap onto your bra or you can wear pants. Practice what you are going to say before you go on camera. Think in headlines and say those when on air. Don't talk too much. Watch the show and the anchor before going on. Know that they may not be friendly or talk to you - so don't take it personally and don't let the anchor's energy throw you off.

The lights are very bright and hot but the studios are really cold. Create videos for your business development. Have people know you before they hire you. It is more intimate. Video is one step up from a podcast because you can see and hear the person. Always think "how can I be of service?" It is always about the audience. How can you help someone and what is the tip you can leave them with today? Social media is important - be consistent and keep it authentic. It depends on the outlet how much they'll care how big your following is. Someone might not like your pitch but they may like you and will collaborate with you.You have to follow up if you don't hear back. Reply back to the same email and re-pitch. "Hey I know you are really busy and wanted to put this back on the top of your list and wanted to talk about this as I think it was helpful to your audience." You can call the producer's number and leave a message and then follow-up with an email.

Today we are talking about how to embrace your femininity as a way of reclaiming your power and manifesting from feminine energy instead of the masculine which is what is fueling business and life. The show notes are at https://thegoodlifecoach.com/035 Key Takeaways In Corporate America there is a masculine paradigm that has been leading the way for generations. Women want to change the system, have equal pay, and the same job opportunities; yet many women are still operating in a way that doesn't support younger women coming up or even their peers. This is obviously a generalization, but so many women tell me stories that leave me feeling frustrated. Even though we've come so far - we have so much farther to go. I thought that the world of entrepreneurship would be different. Women using their feminine energy to create and build success on their own terms. Many women are doing this, but I was surprised that the popular and "cool" language used to describe success that women have adopted as their own is all based on the masculine. "Crushing it", "hustle", "push", "killing it", and "slay" are the words women are using to describe how to create success. Instead, I am inviting women to think about bringing in the feminine as a balance to this energy. You can have hustle but you can also have "flow". You can push when you need to, but also "allow". You can be "killing it and crushing it and slay" or you can also balance that by "doing what you love, taking inspired action, and trusting." Mother Earth serves as a reminder and example of the feminine. She gives life and supports life. Everything has its time and process. Women intuitively understand that bringing in "trust and flow" allows things to unfold in their time. Michele's 3 Best Tips to Embrace the Feminine: Think about your work environment and how you can support other women. If you are an entrepreneur, what energy do you need more of right now? If you have been operating out of the masculine, bring in feminine energy to balance and not burn yourself out. Remember that feminine energy is powerful.

"Are you broken or are you a badass?" - Sarah Whitten Have you ever wondered if anyone could sing? Have you thought about how important your voice is for expressing who are in this world? I LOVED this conversation today with my guest today, Sarah Whitten, who is a vocal coach aka the "vocal yogi". Our voice is our connection to our soul. Sarah connects singers to their body, voice, and breath so they can access their "one true voice" and move away from believing they are "broken". We discuss how you can access your true voice even if you aren't a singer. How to listen to your body so you are in alignment. Sarah also answers the question "Can anyone sing?" and so much more. The show notes are at https://thegoodlifecoach.com/032. Key Takeaways Whether you are a singer or not - You need to learn how your body feels. Have curiosity about your body and emotions. Pay attention to how what you do feels in your body. When you sit and get up, pay attention. After you work out evaluate how you feel. Be a student of your body. Our voice is how we communicate who we are in life. As layers of critical voices arise, we don't express ourselves fully. Deeply profound and healing by understanding the intersection of your voice, body, and spirit. Sarah's 3 Best Tips to Own Your True Voice: Own your genius work. Own what you are really good at. Learning to live without apology. When you stop apologizing for being yourself you are stepping into your power. Speak without shame.

The fact is that there are thousands of people that do what you do. The key is to identify not just what makes you different but to create copy that resonates with your audience. People try to make nice sounding copy that makes them sound smart - BUT the audience only cares how it helps them. People use the words everyone else uses. You need to use the words that are unique to your customers. Your website shouldn't be a mirror in which you see yourself it should be a mirror of people seeing themselves. When you ask: What do I do?, What do I offer?, What are my services? - these aren't your brand. This is your job. Questions to ask yourself: Write a scene from your life and your work because it felt so good to help the person. Make it as descriptive as possible. Take yourself out of the "marketing mind." Forget "what you do for a minute" Read it out loud to someone who loves you. Just mirror back what they heard about it. What you think what you offer is something different than what you offer - this is the promise of what you do. Write down ways you can serve: "What if I could?" or "What if we could?" What if I could help someone look in the mirror and love what they see. These are the ways you want to serve. The idea funnel. Write down what the assumptions are that your clients/customers have about your business/service/product. Then look at the risks of them not using you. Go deep Conflict. Where is the rub?

Do Linkedin in first person. - Say for the last twenty years i did this and this is wha I enjoyed about it. TedX - in Kansas City - a NYTimes journalist dropped out and a person on FB reached out and said they had an opening and the person put her in touch with the organizer. Ted is pure content. She talked about how follow your passion is not a good fit for anyone. How to craft a talk: — Ask yourself: What do you believe about the world that you can challenge their thinking for their own good and how can you shift my thinking on this topic so I feel better about myself. It's not just a good story - it is story-telling+crafting a good idea.
