What is the fastest way to grow your business and gain success? Hiring a winning team! The people you surround yourself with determine the level of success your company is going to achieve.
Getting help in your business at all levels is the most important jobs you have as the CEO of your company. In many situations, however, the employees or contractors that are hired are actually costing you money instead of earning it for you. It’s giving hiring in the small business world a bad name.
It’s the dilemma ALL business owners have. How do we grow fast enough to afford to get help... but how do we make sure that help is making us money and not costing us money? We are breaking down 5 steps on how to transform your team from an expense to an investment!
(3:20) “Hiring is very similar to dating. A lot of times what you see on the first date is not what you get 3 months, 6 months, a year later. The very same goes with the hiring process. Which means that, when you are thinking about going through the hiring process and building a winning team for yourself, go into the mindset understanding you will probably go through 3 or even 4 people before you find the ‘one’. “
(7:15) “When you are assigning the task to the individuals that work for you, that are being brought on to help you in any area of the business, be very clear and specific about exactly how much time you want allocated to those tasks. Be very very clear.”
(11:37) “Mindset is the number one thing. I always say it: mindset comes before mechanics. You can send someone off firing and doing tactical tasks, from day one hour one. But if they don’t understand the connection to the result they are trying to get, you are not going to be happy with their performance.”

Sometimes work can feel like a hamster wheel. We go round and round just working to get to retirement without even thinking about the future. This is why earning passive income is so attractive to many people. Specifically, through real estate.
In today's episode, we are talking to entrepreneur and expert real estate investor Lane Kawaoka. He is the co-owner of MPFE Investments and host of the real estate podcast Simple Passive Cash Flow Fund.
With over 260+ multi family units, he understands how beneficial real estate investing can be for continuous income. Lane explains that while many people are scared of the market because of the 2008 crash, it’s a different market that he recommends investing in.
(8:43) “Educate yourself. Podcasts are great way. Read a few books… don’t read too many books, you guys are business owners, like you are killing it. Don’t spend all your time doing this. I would suggest getting a mentor.”--Lane Kawaoka
(10:18) “People look at the numbers, but they don’t think of them as shades of grey. They think by numbers. They like by highest rent to value ratio, which you can get...But there is a reason a property is priced so low. You have to look at the area it is in.”--Lane Kawaoka
(16:07) “I think there is just a lot of bad information out there. I mean, I’m not a fan of the whole flipping thing and this BRRR strategy where you buy, rent, rehab and refinance the deal...I think a lot of people get scared of the real estate market from 2008.”--Lane Kawaoka

We hear of career changes all the time. Ellen Degeneres was a paralegal before she was a daytime talk show host. Julia Child was a spy for the CIA before she became a culinary genius.
We all have our reasons to leave one profession for another. Our guest Annie Spano’s reason to leave was a more personal reason. Annie hopped from job to job, moving from high school math teacher to a project coordinator in a big corporate business.
However, as she started to grow in the position and in her education, she started recognizing a ‘work bully’ situation in the office.
She then left and created ‘Style Collective’, a community to collaborate and empower other women to grow their fashion blogs. Annie connects with people through sharing this story, a story of learning from a personal hardship and growing from the experience.
(8:40) “Your past doesn’t define who you are. You can write your own story, you can start over. I have started over many times. This is my third career now, and I am in my early thirties -- and you know the ‘work bully’. If had listened to everything that she had told me and let that bug in my ear bring me down, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do today.” --Annie Spano
(12:40) “I wanted so bad to be a leader in the position I was working in and I was not able to do that. My love for leadership and inspiring others and empowering them, showing them my hustle so they hustle. It empowers them and inspires them to help other woman in the community” --Annie Spano
(14:56) “Post constantly, being engaging, providing helpful content, celebrating our members on social media and on our website and on our emails and being inspirational. Really showing that as an organization we care about our members”-- Annie Spano

We talk on this show all the time about creating the foundation for a winning team. Today, I want to pull back the curtain and take you back to before some of my own employees were a part of my team… to when they were interns!
Some of my best full time hires have come from internships. Having an internship program in your business is so important because you can:
When you are growing in any organization, people are everything. Those who wait too long to hire are the ones that struggle immensely building their business and becoming a leader.
(3:15) “Bottom line here is there is no better way to find amazing employees that learn fast, pick up at rocket speed, are energetic, excited and are going to give a boost to your small business than through bringing on interns.”
(6:47) “It’s to their benefit here because you can teach them unbelievable skills that they will use to earn a higher paying job upon graduation and to get better opportunities for themselves when they complete their education.”
(12:40) “ It’s incredibly important to take great care of your interns, make it an amazing learning experience for them. Make it fun, make it valuable. Meet with them in person, take time to mentor them. Make it a relationship so that when that internship ends, you have someone out there who is an ambassador and an advocate for your company.”

It’s time to break free from the chaos! In this episode we are talking to Scott Beebe, CEO of My Business on Purpose, a company based on the mindset that business is created with purpose.
Ask yourself this: what is your vision or snapshot of your business? Many entrepreneurs will say they don’t know, which is their first mistake. Having the vision and developing effective leadership skills are two of the most important principles of becoming an entrepreneur.
(3:01) “One of the reasons you are grateful for your team because they are probably very focused on a vision that you have set forward”--Scott Beebe
(9:50) “Write down your vision so those who may read it will run because when you write down the duration… What it does is it forces people to run towards your vision or run away from your vision”--Scott Beebe
(17:11) “Be descriptive, be intentional about what you see. Remember, this is your vision and vision compells, vision draws, vision pushes away, vision attracts, and it divides. The more clarity you put in your vision the more clarity you give them.” -- Scott Beebe

“Sometimes the simplest solution is often the best one”
I said it once and I’ll say it again, simplicity is KEY. This year I found myself trapped using a complicated approach to sales and success then necessary. So I railed it back, and implemented a strategy I haven't used in a while-- 30 minute strategy sessions. It’s simple, straightforward, and the easiest way to get prospects on your calendar
Sometimes we get so caught up in the business and the work, that we forget what's right in front of us. For us that was the strategy sessions. We were so focused on trying to find other ways to utilize OTHER strategies, we left this one behind.
Sometimes we need to go back to the basics, rework some things, and try it in a new way. Strategy sessions are just one of the many ways you can get quality leads on your calendar ready to buy---listen to the rest of the episode for more!
(1:03) “Sometimes you put so much time and energy into audimation and level 2 and level 3 strategies that you are trying to employ but you forget about the simple solutions right in front of your face”
(4:25) “Your busy being busy and doing the work you miss the things that are right in front of you. We never stopped focusing on that strategy because it didn't work, we were just looking for more leveraged techniques to gain sales”
(14:45) “Remember, where there is a will there is ALWAYS a way and there is absolutely no harm that can be done in having more conversations between your company and your target market with qualified leads who want to learn how you can help them”

“Your life can change in an instant”
Tony Robbins said this over and over again for the past 15 years. In all honesty, I didn’t understand it the first few times.
The key heartbeat in your business is the ability to implement strong strategies, put in the work and be mentally present… which means you’ve got to be operating at your peak. This year, I hired a personal trainer to get back into shape and improve my health. In that instant, I’ve changed my life (more on that in the episode).
Have YOU invested in your own health and wellness? The energy required to grow a business means you’ve got to take care of yourself FIRST. Find the means to build up your energy so you can be fully present for yourself, your business, and your family.
(3:49) “My fatigue was so bad during the day I didn’t even want to get out of bed. I was so exhausted. I was dragging my way through appointment after appointment, struggling my way call after call. I really wasn't happy or present in anything I was doing because I was so tired.”
(7:18) “We all know our ability to build our wealth is directly tied to our energy level and our energy level is essentially going to determine our ability to achieve all our goals and dreams because you can know the right things to do but without the drive and the spark and the energy to do them...that knowledge doesn't do you any good.”
(9:15) “The energy I have now working with the trainer, to raise my energy level, my strength, my endurance is priceless. I don't wake up in the morning feeling fatigued anymore. I can hope out of the bed at 6am and BOOM ready to go.”

“What line of work are you in?” “What type of product do you sell?”
It’s the simple questions that many entrepreneurs can't seem to answer. Every single one of us has a different talent, and we need to identify it. In this episode we are talking to speaker, leader and ‘idea-junkie’, Michael Hudson.
Creator of Vision Speaker, Michael helps entrepreneurs and business owners create dynamic presentations to communicate change. It’s all about telling your story. We learn from the lessons in our own life, and that is what people connect to. The biggest learning experience comes from the things we don’t succeed in. Share this side of you-- this is the part of your business that draws people in.
(2:30) “When you keep confusing that message, as Donald Miller says, when you confuse you lose. When you keep confusing that message you're giving yourself, all you give yourself permission to do is to keep floundering.”--Michael Hudson
(11:58) “That real connection is what opens the door to transformation…..Your goal is to transform people's lives. I can’t transform your life if we aren't being 100% honest with one another.” --Michael Hudson
(16:30) “We think it’s all about numbers and numbers matter, but numbers aren’t the key drive. The key drive is impact.”-- Michael Hudson

2018 is basically here, which means we need to get hyper focused-- meeting revenue goals, getting courses and coaches to fill in the gaps, and editing personal schedules to become MORE productive.
Personal productivity is the one thing that stands in the way of entrepreneurs reaching their financial goals. Days become over-complicated with a list of objectives that are just simply unproductive.
The question we need ask ourselves when we look at the calendar is: does this directly add to the lifestyle I'm trying to create and the income I'm trying to achieve?
(3:44) “What is going to be the top big rocks, that are core recurring things on your calendar, every single week. That are tangibility and effectively moving you toward your goal. In a way you can visually see there is a direct correlation in time in and results out.”
(7:26) “The best thing you can do for yourself at this point this time of year is simplify, go back through, do some weeding. Try to challenge yourself to get rid of a third of the projects and initiatives and tasks you are doing each week. Get the right person doing the right things”
(13:28) “I want in encourage each and everyone of you, that if you have been feeling overwhelmed, if you have been feeling like your energy is being dispersed or diluted and you have too much on your plate--it's because there is!”

There is a depiction online of what everyone thinks the “journey to success” looks like versus reality. What most of the depictions don’t show, however, is that success is never a straight line.
Entrepreneurship (and being successful at it) is full of messes -- and you have to be willing to accept that failures along the way will happen. The stronger you become in accepting them and rolling with the punches, the faster you will grow your business.
In the moment, it feels so hard to push through and adapt. But remember this: it takes 10,000 hours to master any skill. When you’re in business, you’re learning, growing, and developing new skills every single day. Your ability to PIVOT in the face of struggle gives you the ability to problem solve quickly and effectively.
(2:30) “You are now presented with a choice: to accept where you are as final, or PIVOT. Pivoting will take you all the way to the top. Pivoting is one of the most important and hardest entrepreneurial skills”
(6:20) “The vast majority of people are willing to accept a temporary setback, as a final destination. But you, you my UNSTOPPABLE ARMY, are absolutely not. You are going to pivot your way to success.”
(9:10) “The journey is not clean... it is not pretty for any of us. But always remember that the obstacles you are facing were put in your path to grow you into the highest and best form of yourself you can be.”

When life gives you chocolate chips, why not make cookies? That is exactly what CEO and cancer survivor Loren Brill did. At the age of just 22, Loren was diagnosed with cancer, which turned her world upside down.
Loren shares that there are somethings you just can't control, but there are things you can. Getting diagnosed with cancer was something no one could see coming, but her health and nutrition was an escape. She wanted life and empowerment out of what she put into her body.
With Loren’s sweet tooth leading the way, she created a ‘healthy’ cookie made with all natural ingredients. Sweet Loren’s Cookies was created as a healthy option for people when they need something sweet.
(2:10) “I had a lot of time with myself and a lot of time to figure out what i was passionate about and what i really enjoy doing. If life is so precious, what do i really want to spend time doing and what do i really care about….” --Loren Brill
(9:40) “We are dealt a certain deck of cards. There are certain things that happen in life that are something unexplainable. It’s all of our responsibility, no matter how we were raised, what has happened in our life. What do we want to turn our own life into? What would make us happy?”-- Loren Brill
(18:30) “I think you have to find something that really lights you up, that you are passionate about and to me if you combine that with a really clear vision, and fill a hole in the market with a smart business plan behind it, How can you not win?”--Loren Brill
The secret to life is finding that passion that gets you out of bed in the morning. Turn that hobby into something that will change not only your life, but the lives of everyone around you.

Don’t be afraid to step in front of the camera -- it might be a HUGE profit booster in your business. In this episode, you’ll meet Katya Varbanova: LIVE streaming expert and strategist helping entrepreneurs to utilize live streaming to grow their audience online and generate revenue.
Katya has had no hiccups when transitioning from one platform to the next. She has moved from Periscope to Facebook LIVE to Youtube and has lost no momentum. Her trick? You can’t just be focused on one platform.
(4:50) “I don't stay romantic to platform, Gary V is really good at this. He always says don't be romantic about the platforms, and don't be romantic about your tactics but use the skill that you have built to quickly adapt.”--Katya Varbanova
(13:30) “You know a good CEO, when they are presented with opportunities they will find a way to make it happen that doesn't mean they sacrifice everything... I don’t want to force people to go LIVE, but I do want people to realize it is one of those things it doesn’t have to be a production”--Katya Varbanova
(22:15) “For ‘newbies’ i would start with 5 or 10 minute broadcasts once a week. Just to start slowly but surely... you do not have to start full blown weekly show that are fully produced, with backgrounds and back drops and equipments. NO, not at all.” --Katya Varbanova
(31:30) “Livestreaming has been so instrumental for me and my business not just because that is what I teach. People make decisions about whether they like you or not after they watch a live stream faster.” --Katya Varbanova
