Everybody is so freaking stressed. It seems as if the more money we make, the more stress and the less peace we have. Which leads me to wonder if we're chasing the wrong metric.

You are living in an incredible age where you can literally build a life -changing business in your spare bedroom or your mom's basement or your local coffee shop. All it takes is an idea and a little bit of intentionality and you can start to put money in your pocket from the comfort of your home. The problem is with these booms of online businesses, knowledge income streams, most people aren't building a life -giving business. And so in today's episode, what I want to do is share with you the three marks or markers of a life -giving business, what they are, how to achieve them, and bust some key business myths that might hold you back from living your full potential and truly having a business that not just puts money in your pocket or changes your life, but gives you more life. Let's discuss.

In this conversation, Graham Cochrane interviews Garrett Gunderson about his book 'Killing Sacred Cows' and his new book 'Money Unmasked'. They discuss different money myths and the importance of having an abundance mindset. They also explore the different money personas, including the miser, the conservative, the striver, and the high roller. Gunderson emphasizes the idea of financial independence rather than retirement and the importance of creating cash flow from assets. He encourages people to focus on value creation and enjoying life along the way. Retirement should be redefined as a process of eliminating the things you hate doing and creating a compelling vision for your life. In the modern age of technology and transformation, staying engaged and finding purpose in your work is possible. The old portfolio mindset, which relies on banks, stocks, bonds, and REITs, is flawed and lacks control. The new portfolio mindset involves investing in yourself, intellectual property, real estate, and businesses that align with your interests and skills. Overcoming fear and investing in yourself can lead to long-term dividends and a more fulfilling life.

Today we need to react to a video that I want to show you-and unpack why most content creators have the wrong business model. Let's discuss.

Graham adds that being vulnerable and empathetic in content creation is a superpower that attracts and builds trust with an audience. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the importance of recognizing and embracing one's uniqueness and not trying to please everyone.

One of the saddest things I deal with as a business coach is hearing from students or clients that launched a product (an online course, membership, group coaching etc) and it failed. Perhaps nobody bought or three people bought or it made only $100. The dream has been dashed because it didn't live up to their expectations. Today, I wanna pull back the curtain on the top three reasons why most product launches fail - so that your next (or first) launch won't!

In this conversation, Graham and Jordan discuss the power of encouragement and its impact on personal and professional relationships. They explore the concept of encouragement as a transformational tool and how it can make people feel empowered and motivated. Jordan shares his personal journey and how he fell into the work of coaching and encouraging others. They also discuss the 10 arts of encouragement, with a focus on the art of character encouragement and the importance of recognizing and praising someone for who they are, not just what they do. The conversation explores three key arts of encouragement: praising who someone is, elevating encouragement, and authentic encouragement. Praising who someone is involves focusing on their character and qualities rather than just their accomplishments. Elevating encouragement means actively promoting and supporting others, whether through social media, reviews, or nominations for awards. Authentic encouragement involves being genuine and specific in our praise, sharing stories and examples to show that we truly care. The conversation emphasizes the importance of being present and intentional in our encouragement, and reminds us that we all have room for growth in this area.

Encouragement is a complex topic that requires understanding the science and art behind it. Encouragement is not just about what you say, but how you make people feel. The art of character encouragement involves recognizing and praising someone for who they are, not just what they do. Encouragement is a powerful tool in building trust and relationships. Praise who someone is, not just what they do. Elevate others by promoting and supporting them. Be authentic and specific in your encouragement. Remember the importance of being present and intentional in your interactions. We all have room for growth in the art of encouragement.

One of the legends in the online business space, Pat Flynn, says that online courses are dead. This is the end of selling information. It's the end of info marketing as we know it.

I believe if your relationships are healthy, the rest of your life will be healthy - especially your business! And the reverse is true.

One of the biggest and most popular content creators on planet Earth, Alex Hormozi, has made a major shift in his content strategy, moving away from short form content and highly edited content. And we have to talk about it.

Success doesn't begin with our actions it begins with our minds. Today I sit down with my friend (and author and business mentor) Mike Zeller. In this deep dive we cover how our identity and beliefs shape our actions and outcomes, why rewiring the subconscious mind is essential for personal growth and success and how visualization and alter egos can help create new neural pathways.

Could it really be that the secret to success is giving? Oh man, you better believe it is. Today, my friend, in the 52 book challenge, I am unpacking my number one most recommended book of all time. That is The Go Giver by Bob Berg and John David Mann. I absolutely adore this book and it's a little book you can read in about an hour. It's a parable.

Most people who want to grow their business are looking for a strategy or a hack or some kind of system that they could put into place that will take their business to the next level. Very few people stop to think about the fact that their business is actually limited by their mindset and that they actually self-sabotage. To put it bluntly, you are the ceiling to your own business. In today's episode, what I wanna do is share with you five limiting beliefs that are likely holding back your business. You may not be dealing with all five, but I guarantee you, you're dealing with at least one of these. If you can dismantle one or all of these limiting beliefs, you remove the ceiling, and then your business can naturally grow and expand, because you're probably the bottleneck, my friend.

The world will tell you to push harder, just do more of what you're doing, but eventually you'll tap out. So there's got to be something different to reach those numbers. And the reality is it's not just actions, it starts with different mindsets. And so in today's episode, what I wanna do is unpack seven mindsets that I've curated over the last 14 years. Seven mindset shifts that are important for you to make in order to get over that hump, whether seven figures is the goal or multi -six or eight figures, whatever it is, these are seven growth mindsets that I've stumbled across, fought for, and have slowly figured out.
