In this week's podcast, I feature a conversation that I had with Mark Struczewski when I was interviewed on his podcast. In this conversation, we talk about why most people have given up on the idea of pursuing their dream. It is my hope that our conversation will inspire some to start day dreaming about how life could be if they only “fill in the blank….” I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

What we believe has a radical impact on the decisions that we make, and therefore the results that we get in life. In this episode, I share how changing my belief about my IDENTITY allowed me to get to the place where I was finally able to become the MASTER of my physical body. While this episode talks about my “fitness journey,” the principle of changing your belief about who you are (your identity) can apply to every aspect of your life.

This episode is two hours long. However, I am 100% convinced that it is worth every single minute of your time as a result of the powerful truth that I share. Do you believe that it is true that “You always have plenty of money for EVERYTHING you truly want?” When I first heard this statement, it shocked me. However, I began evaluating my entire life and realized that I could never find a single instance where this was not true. I've since accepted this as a “fact” and one that I live by today. Since I adopted this belief, my life has been radically altered.   I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

In this episode, I talk about a problem that so many of us face, from time to time, in our business pursuits. The problem is that we tend to amass an ever-growing list of to do items. Even worse, we convince ourselves that everything on these lists are important. The result? We end up doing a ton of activity in our business but find that we have very little clarity about what it is that we are trying to achieve. In this episode, I share why it might be time to ditch your current to list and simply ask yourself a question or two to gain some clarity.   I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

I recently had a potential client ask me how much I charge for my one-on-one mentoring package. When I gave him the details, he wrote back… “Geez, my Harvard educated attorney doesn’t charge that much. Come to think of it, my accountant wouldn’t approve such a major expense, and as you saw on the Mastermind Application, I am doing fairly successful with my online business pursuits. How do you justify your rates! It’s either a new set of tires or 3 conversations with you. Tough choice!” How would you respond to this statement? How confident are you in the value that you bring to your clients? In this episode, I share how I responded to this. I hope you find my experience valuable in helping you gain more confidence in the value that you offer. The Six Questions Mentioned In The Episode:1. What are my 3-5 unique qualities?2.

There are a large number of things that I am proud to have accomplished over the past several years. However, I'm often asked the question… “Cliff, with all that you have going on, how do you manage to get it all done?” In this podcast episode, I not only explain that I DO NOT get it all done, but also why I don't even try to “get it all done.” Here are the six affirmations that I ended up sharing in the episode. 1. I always have plenty of time for all of the things that I'm truly committed to. 2. I always make time for the things that are most important to me. 3. My goal in life is not to manage time, but to always be living a fulfilling life devoted to consistent growth and contribution. 4. I'm always at the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing. 5. My time, money, energy, ability and reputation are my most valued assets. I invest these assets with the right clients, prospects, associates and friends. 6. There are so many demands for my attention in life. I am committed to deciding, in advance, what I am going to focus on, so that my life is not controlled by the focus of someone or something else.

About ten years ago, I heard the parable of “The Mexican Fisherman” for the first time. Back then, I totally bought into the message of the story. The message, as I interpreted it, was that we should avoid building a big business as a means of building wealth. Instead, we should be satisfied doing the work that allows us to meet our needs and enjoy the simple/important things in life. Lately, I've been thinking about how this parable presents a false dichotomy. In this episode, I share why I feel that hundreds of people's lives, including the lives of his wife and children, would benefit from him building the bigger boat and growing his business.

I was recently interviewed on the Grace On Fire podcast hosted by Dr. Jonathan G Smith. In the interview, I shared four limiting beliefs that will keep you from living the life for which you were created. I had intended to cover this as a topic on my show at some point in the future. However, what I was sharing came out so great in this interview that I asked Jonathan if I could simply use my recording of the interview as an episode of my own podcast. He was happy to give me permission to do so. If you have ever struggled with any of these limiting belief, I sincerely hope that what I shared will help you help you experience a mindset shift so that you can be freed up to pursue the life for which you were created.   I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

Every time I interact with someone who is building their own online business, I ask them… “What is the single greatest frustration that you are facing, right now, when it comes to growing your online business?” One of the most common responses is FOCUS or LACK OF FOCUS. One person responded this question by saying… “I Have So Many Income Stream Opportunities, But I Can’t Seem To Stay Focused On One!” I totally understand this problem. In this week's episode, I share how I've recently faced this exact issue of deciding where I needed to focus my time, effort and energy when it comes to a completely new set of income streams that I'm looking to pursue in the next year. More importantly, I share 21 separate tips that will help you stay focused on what is most important to you. I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

Did you know that half of all businesses are closed within their first year, 80% are gone within five years and that 96% of all businesses fail within 10 years? That means that only 4% of a businesses last more than 10 years. That just means that they are “still standing,” even if they are not “profitable.” I know just how difficult it is to get an online business off the ground. In 2008, I left a successful 12-year career as an insurance agent to pursue my own journey of full-time, self-employment, so that I could do the work that I felt most called to do in this world. I am so thankful for all the sales training and customer service experience that those 12 years as an insurance agent provided. However, having lived a lifetime as an “employee” up to that point, I realized, real quickly, just how much I didn't know about what it took to actually own and operate my own business. My first full year of full-time self-employment was riddled with self-doubt, overwhelm from all that I was being told I needed to do, and lack of clarity of what I needed to focus on next. As a result, that first year was the most difficult year, financially, that I have ever experienced in my lifetime. I can tell tell you that those difficult times were definitely worth it. However, with that said, looking back from the perspective of knowing what I know today, I now realize that things didn't have to be quite so hard. In this episode, I share how my involvement in a healthy mastermind group helped turn everything around for me and my business. I explain what a mastermind group is and the ten benefits that you would receive by getting involved in a healthy mastermind group for yourself.Are You looking for a healthy mastermind group?

Growing up, I had always been taught that New Years Resolutions simply don't work. The idea is that in the new year, a person will resolve to get rid of an undesired habit, to accomplish a personal goal or to commit to something that will improve their life in some way. As a young guy, I had attempted to set lifestyle goals for myself. However, somewhere around middle school, I became convinced that everyone was right… these things just don't work. Unfortunately, as a result, I had pretty much given up on “goal setting” all-together. Well, that's not completely true. There were times when I had a strong desire, where I set my mind on a goal that I wanted to achieve and where I remained focused on that goal until I achieved the outcome that I desired. However, these experiences were random and were not a part of any sort of “routine” of goal setting in my normal life. However, that all changed in 2009! It was in 2009 that I was first introduced the to step-by-step formula for achieving any goal that you remain focused on. In this podcast episode, I share how I immediately put that step-by-step formula to the test and the results that I got from that test. Since then, I've been HOOKED ON SETTING GOALS and have achieved so many things that, when I look back, I am amazed at what I've been accomplished. In this episode, I share the step-by-step formula that you, also, can use to achieve any goal that you decide to remain focused on. Note: As the episode progressed, I realized that I wanted to add a fifth step the original four step process. Below is a list list of the revised five step formula for achieving your goals. Step 1 – Believe it is possible.Step 2 – Decide to set it as a goal.Step 3 – Write it down.Step 4 – Tell others about it.Step 5 – Work the plan as it becomes available.  Want To Build A Successful Online Business Around Your Podcast?If you have been attempting to generate an income around your podcasting efforts, but you are not consistently generating a minimum of $5,000 per month, I would like to invite to you attend the Building An Online Business Workshop here in my Next Level Studio.

You've probably known several people, over the years, that where involved in an unhealthy relationship with someone and was simply unable to see all the warning signs that things needed to change. Over the years, I've done a lot of one-on-one and group mentoring with people who are full-time self-employed, or who are pursuing self-employment, that are very much involved in an unhealthy relationship that is holding them back from achieving financial success in their business. I'm not referring to their relationship with another person. Instead, I've notice that most full-time, self-employed, individuals seem to have a very unhealthy relationship with MONEY. All the warning signs are there. However, until they do something to cultivate a healthy relationship with money, they will never be able to generate great wealth. In this week's episode, I share why I believe that every self employed person can cultivate a healthy relationship with money and DRASTICALLY increase their income by reflecting, daily, on six affirmations related to money. Affirmation 1– Money can provide value to everyone if we allow it to FLOW. Affirmation 2– I always have plenty of money for all the things I truly want. Affirmation 3– God's wealth circulates in my life in avalanches of abundance. All my needs, desires and goals are met instantaneously, for I am one with God and He is EVERYTHING. Affirmation 4– I am grateful for all the abundance I have and I invite even more into my life. Affirmation 5– I am financially wealthy. However it is not my power or strength that has produced this wealth for me. It is God who has gifted me with the ability to produce wealth. – Deuteronomy 8:17-18 (NIV) Affirmation 6– I AM RICH in this present world. However, I will not allow this to make me an arrogant person. I will not put my hope in my financial wealth, which is so uncertain. Instead, I place my hope in God, who RICHLY PROVIDES ME WITH EVERYTHING FOR MY ENJOYMENT. I am committed to do good, to also be rich in good deeds. I am a generous man who is devoted to sharing. – 1 Timothy 6:17-18 (NIV) In Summary… For the past few years, I've made it a point to read these affirmations (and many many more) on a daily basis. Just recently, I was inspired by my great friend, Kent Julian, to use the REMINDERS APP on my iPhone to have these pop up on a daily basis. Because of these daily affirmations, I've established a healthier relationship with money. As a result, I found that my income has increased drastically, week by week, month by month and year by year.   I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

This week's episode is very different from the content that I normally share in this podcast. The main difference is that this week's episode is very “faith focused.” I am in Anaheim, California for Podcast Movement 2017. My great friend, Phil Mershon had been wanting to have me as a guest on his podcast and I inviting him to come up to my room and we could knock out the interview while were both here at the event. Knowing that I needed to create an episode of my own this week, I asked Phil if he minded if I used the recording for my own show. This episode is the actual recording of where Phil interviewed me for his “Man In The Pew” podcast. I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

Recently, my friend, Tammy Adams, provided a question for me to use as a topic for one of my YouTube VLOG episodes. However, when I started to think about how I would answer her question, I knew that the length of time that I wanted to spend answering this question, would make this better suited for a podcast episode. Tammy's question was… “What do you think is the #1 reason people struggle to get their small businesses jump started and earning a decent income?” I share what I feel may be the top five reasons in this episode. Here are a few reasons that I can think of. They feel uncomfortable charging people money for something that comes so naturally to them. They feel that their “gifts and talents” should be offered freely to others. They don’t feel confident in charging ENOUGH money for their products and services to allow them to operate a “profitable” and “responsible” business. They have not been able to find the INTERSECTION between the MARKET PLACE and their gifts, talents, passions, experience, and areas of expertise. They are too focused on where they are going to earn their next dollar and take little, to no, time evaluating where they want their business to be in the next five to ten years. They failed to prepare for the fact that running a business requires more time than just doing the “activity” that generates their income. I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

I recently published a video where I gave a tour of my Next Level Studio. This prompted one individual to write a comment on the video (which this person has since deleted). That comment said…. Cliff, you have a LOT of stuff. Do you really need all of that? I mean as a self proclaimed Christian, (I’m anti religion btw) couldn’t you help more people by doing more with less and donating all the money you put into that stuff? … It’s none of my business how you spend your money but I feel like some of you guys that teach entrepreneurship to guys who have little income are kind of rubbing your success in our faces. I know that’s not your intention but do you ever think about what you’re actually putting out there? (No I'm not your audience, and no I don’t have a podcast, and no I haven’t worked as hard as you online, but yes I work hard every day and face my battles as they come) This episode is my response to the questions posed in this comment.

In this episode, I share some thoughts about the mindset of what people are paying for when they hire you for an hour of one-on-one coaching and/or consulting. When people pay you (whatever amount), they are not paying for an hour of your time, they are paying for access to the years of experience, knowledge and wisdom that you bring to the table. I hope that this episode will inspire you to create a document where you can begin to take an inventory of all the value that you bring to the table. As you continue to grow, learning and experiencing new things (Including Failure), you'll be able to add to this list, increasing the value that you have to offer others.

The concept of “pricing” was one of the greatest sources of anxiety for me in the early days of building my own online business. Over the past decade, I've seen that “deciding how much to charge” is a huge pain point for others who are creating products and services. Almost everyone undervalues what they do and have to offer and, as a result, charge way too little. In this episode, I share what I have learned from my own experience with pricing over the years. I explain why people actually want to pay you more money. Listen to this episode to learn seven ways that doubling your rates, overnight, will double your success.

In this week's episode, I'm joined my great friend, Tim Schmoyer from VideoCreators.com. Tim has been working on the plans for his own live event and invited me to lunch to talk about how things went with my Next Level Workshop this past weekend. He wanted to know what I sort of things that I did that went really well, what would I do differently, etc. I figured that there might be some of you who will eventually host your own live events and that our conversation would be valuable if it were recorded. That is what you are getting in this episode. Two friends, who each operate a very successful online business, sharing ideas and thoughts about planning live events. I hope you enjoy.   I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you. See my list of shows at http://CliffRavenscraft.com/podcast   Let's Work Together!
