Conversioncast From Leadpages+drip

Kelly McCausey shares the mindset shifts that blew the lid off her own business, how collaborating with her competition generates ripple effects and her favorite pathway to generating multiple streams of income. For show notes, transcripts, and more, go to Leadpages.com/podcast. Top Takeaways Don’t let your comfort zone keep you from doing something amazing. Getting out of your comfort zone will help you learn about yourself, achieve new things, and make you more confident in who you are as a person. Take partnerships seriously, even with your competition. Before you start a partnership, try out a collaborative project first.  Don’t let raising your prices for your product or business hold you back. When you provide value, you will also provide opportunities for your community to grow together. Playing small keeps a lid on your audience, and does a disservice to them.  Think big tree vs. tending a fledgling orchard. Focus your efforts on a singular business that eventually (not imm

A former high school teacher, Nancy believes everyone's Deep Genius is their personal master key to making the difference you're here to make.  Top Takeaways Take one step at a time, just because someone says you need to do something doesn’t mean it’s always right for your business or it might be better done at another time. There is honor in working. Do what you love and don’t be fooled by others touting a 3-hour lazy lifestyle. Find people who can hold you accountable. T

A former marketing executive for radio and television, including with Fox Family (now ABC Family) and E! Entertainment, Lou’s consulted entrepreneurs with their video strategies and action plans since 2002. Top Takeaways: With today’s tech and resources, small business owners are essentially their own TV stations. Your role is producer, director, and actor of the shows you wish to make. To be successful on camera, you don’t need to adopt some stranger’s persona – just be you. With people sometimes watching 2 or 3 screens at the same time, it’s important to keep your videos s

A linguist and educator by trade, Julie partners with her clients to develop digital programs that get students to the finish line.  Top Takeaways Be resilient. You simply can’t give up after trying one thing that doesn’t work out. Involve other people. Expanding and nurturing your business doesn’t have to be done alone. Asking for help or hiring someone to help around the house while you work can make all the difference. Understand your audience. Match your product or service to the needs and skillsets of your students and customers. This way you can offer exactly what they’re hoping to receive in an easy, understandable, and timely fashion.&nb

Pay attention to the encouragement coming from your inner circle. Start building a team as your personal bandwidth diminishes, freeing up your time to do higher-leveraged activities

The mental game is the most difficult part of the entrepreneurial journey. Be open to doing the thing you love to do more frequently for your happiness, even if it doesn’t pay as well as alternatives.  The entrepreneurial schedule can bring you more time with your family, while also bringing narrow times of sacrifice to grow your status in the

Amanda Holmes shares how her professional and spiritual paths intertwine, the struggles (and thrills) of being thrust into a leadership role before she was 25, and what helps her stay grounded as she grows both CHI and DBI.   For show notes, transcripts, and more, go to Leadpages.com/podcast Amanda is the CEO of Chet Holmes International, a pillar among the sales and business coaching community. She’s also the CMO of Divine Bliss International, a spiritual non-profit organization, bringing Love and Light to individuals and businesses.  ** Top Takeaways ** Move forward with pig-headed discipline and determination – especially when the path is new. If you find yourself in charge of an established brand with history, don’t be afraid to steer it into new directions.  At its root, a guru is a dispeller of darkness, an uplifter of light – one that brings you from ignorance to bliss to assist you on your pathway to understand who you really are. Bad things happening is inevitable. How yo

Persist through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship with the help of close friends and your faith.  Growing your business will likely take longer than you think. And it will likely require a pivot or two along the way.&nbs

ChihYu Smith shares tips on discovering your niche, how to listen better to your audience, and secrets she’s learned in building up her following. For show notes, transcripts, and more, go to Leadpages.com/podcast ChihYu grew up in southern Taiwan and now calls Brooklyn, New York home with her husband Nate. She teaches busy folks how to make everyday Asian-inspired Paleo cuisine that tastes better than takeout from her site IHeartUmami.com, and is about to release her first cookbook, Asian Paleo. Top Takeaways When figuring out your niche, listen to people who are willing to pay for the solutions they’re searching for. Just because you’re an expert, it doesn’t mean your first (or second) product is going to be a big hit. Expect revisions to be required.  Blogging in 2019 is different than the “wonder years” before 2016. You can still be successful, but you need to blog about a very specific, narrow niche to get the right attention.  When creating a lead magnet, think backward from the type

Top Takeaways As you gain success in carrying out the activities of your business, you may get the opportunity to turn that success into a coaching business for others wanting to emulate your path.  You'll move forward faster when you stop letting excuses get in your w
