Sales can be a daunting part of owning a business. None of us want to be that sleazy person that pushes people into buying from them.   But there is one thing that can drastically change how you approach sales and cure this potential problem:   Believing in your product.   Think about it: Does what you provide help people?

When he first joined Lifeonaire, Ned Carey felt like his life was alright…so he thought. But in reality, he was struggling. He knew something was wrong, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.   Ned got to the point where he felt like he was in a deep well where no matter how far he climbed, it felt like he was never getting closer to the top, which seemed like hundreds and hundreds of feet away.   Perhaps you relate to Ned.   Since then, everything’s changed. He’s here to share about how he got out of the well he was in, and how you too can get out of yours, and into a life of joy, hope, and fulfillment.   He shares some incredibly effective perspective shifts, but the root of what he shares is less about simple hacks and much more about the foundation that can be monumental in helping you turn things around, including:   Being patient, tenacious, and grateful in the journey (because all though it can seem long, your progress is far more substantial than you often realize) Surrounding yourself with a loving support system   And then some.    If you are like Ned was today, you’re not alone. We hope this episode is encouraging and serves as a reminder that there’s a community full of Lifeonaires ready to walk alongside you.

Over the course of our careers, we have many bosses, many co-workers, many clients, or many business partners…   But we only have one family.   Yet, many times, we find ourselves bending over backwards to appease the people we work with, despite the fact we could be replaced at work and forgotten about at any moment.   Cory M Carlson recognized this problem. He saw the pressure many of us are under to succeed at work and the cost it often entails on our lives at home. He even saw it in his own life.    After years of coaching leaders and entrepreneurs through changing their lives and writing his book Winning at Home First, he’s here to share his secrets!   Cory digs into: The journey of getting out of the corporate world (and how it’s often a step-by-step, methodical ease-out rather than one day quitting your job) How to overcome the temptation to get ahead at work, or take advantage of career opportunities (and how to choose your kid’s soccer game over the networking happy hour) How to balance heavier seasons at work with intentional time with the family Tricks for reframing your work mindset so you can expertly diffuse the many pressures that come with trying to move up the ladder or build your business How you can have both the great career or business AND the great family life   This discussion provides so much clarity in the storm that is trying to navigate the work-life balance.

Ex-legendary-body-builder Peter Putnam not only excelled at one impressive endeavor, but he made a massive career pivot into something totally unexpected: MUSIC!   …How? Why?   Peter’s story is a fascinating one of pursuing what really matters in life, something we all long to do more of. Wouldn’t you like the freedom to just shift gears and follow where your heart is guiding you? Or wouldn’t you like the courage to let go of the security of what you have now to dedicate more time to what’s important (maybe it’s family, or traveling, or hobbies that you love so much, you lose track of time when you’re doing them).   We all could benefit from thinking a little more like Peter. That’s why we have him on the show this week so we can get in the head of someone that doesn’t let ANYTHING get in the way of pursuing what matters. So if you’re stuck in the weeds, losing time for the things you love, or needing some encouragement to do something scary, this one’s meant for you!   Be sure to check out Peter's music wherever you listen! Here's his latest album on Apple Music: apple.co/3I1BtWk

We’ve been seeing it all over the news for months (even years):   “Times are tough.”   From the economy to politics to maybe even some personal challenges you might be facing, it might seem like the bad news never stops flooding in.

If that’s you, listen in!)

Grab a pen and paper and get ready to have some mindsets and strategies for not just surviving in these times, but THRIVING!

Your attitude can help you reach your greatest potential. In fact, this week, our guest demonstrates what happens when you approach life with an attitude of charity, curiosity, and more. We have Calvin Crosslin (VP of HR, Chief Diversity Officer AND President of the Lenovo Foundation at Lenovo) to share the secret sauce for success!   Calvin has a heart for giving and a zest for learning. That’s why you’ll want to listen to this one very carefully because Calvin talks about a variety of different game-changers he’s discovered about leadership and getting the most out of your relationships with others (in both ideal and non-ideal situations).    If you take on some of the approaches he shares, it’s going to help you tremendously in several different avenues including business, your personal life, and so much more.

Have you ever had a moral failure that you felt you couldn’t come back from? Or have you ever had someone you loved or looked up to make a mistake that felt unforgivable?   This week’s episode covers a heavy topic that many of us will experience through our own actions or others’ (if not already). Our guest this week, Mike Lee, was a pastor of a large church until he had an affair. And he’s here to tell his story about everything he’s learned from this failure, from how to pick up the pieces of your life when you make a big mistake, to how to treat someone who has made a big mistake and is trying to rectify it.   We want to emphasize that we are in no way condoning affairs and similar actions, or excusing behavior. We believe this is an important conversation to have because we want to provide help to you as a listener for times like these. You may be wondering: is God done with me yet? How should I treat someone who did something I don’t condone? How should we as Christians take failure in our leadership? Can I walk with someone who is trying to be a new person after messing up without excusing their actions? These are the tough questions we want to shed light on.

Brian Trippe was going through the tragedy of divorce, and it put him in a very dark place. Perhaps you can relate. When it happened, Brian had a decision to make. He could turn to indulgences to try to numb the pain (drinking, sitting at home alone, stress eating, drugs) but he chose a different route….After seventeen years of a sedentary lifestyle, he made a decision to go on a walk.  Three years later, Brian is an Ironman Triathlon athlete! And he’s here to share about how to make decisions that will lead you towards the positive and away from the negative so you can benefit from good health, mental strength, aligned priorities, and an overall ability to navigate whatever comes your way. In this packed interview, Brian covers: Why and how to choose good habits in your life each day How achieving a massive goal always starts with smaller waypoints (ie, if you are sedentary, your first goal can be to walk mile, and as you progress, so will your goals) The all-encompassing positive effects working out can have on your attitude, confidence, and more That if you know you need to do something, but it’s super out of your comfort zone, that’s the very thing that needs your attention If you feel stuck in the grip of tragedy or the pull of negative influences in your life, don’t go anywhere. Brian's insight has something to offer anyone who is struggling.

If you own a small business, you may have experienced a time of steady growth followed by a discouraging period of stagnation.  You’re not alone.  In fact, nearly all businesses go through observable “Growth Stages” that are due to shift at specific revenue levels. This means that you as the leader have the power to launch your business out of being stalled out and into its next phase of growth. But how? We have David Gilliland of Elite Entrepreneurs to share loads of priceless information on these ebbs and flows of business and how to navigate them. He covers: How businesses operate like a car shifting gears (and how to know when you’re in the wrong gear) The different roles a business owner should take on in order to progress How to get rockstar people on your team (and how to approach coaching them up or coaching them out if it’s not a good fit) And then some. David has consulted over 250 small businesses across the country, so the principles he shares in this episode come from years of coaching business owners like you to new heights.

Before discovering Lifeonaire, Tim and Stephanie Truong were struggling, both in ways they were and weren’t aware of. Tim was the dreamer; Stephanie was realistic. They struggled with communicating, they weren’t a team, and they seemed to be constantly pulling in opposite directions of each other. Maybe you and your partner can relate. Now, they are unrecognizably different! Since joining Lifeonaire, they’ve become a unified team. With the help of their coaches (which Stephanie refers to as their “translators and referees” for each other) they have grown massively and continue to progress towards their Vision and towards an even stronger relationship. In fact, Tim and Stephanie’s transformation have inspired so many that they were voted the 2022 Lifeonaire Students of the Year by the entire Lifeonaire community! This is a free-flowing conversation that touches on many different ways coaching can impact people as individuals and as couples to help them reach potentials even greater than they ever imagined. Join us and listen for the elements that resonate with you, because there’s something relatable for everyone in Tim and Stephanie’s journey.
