Steff Vanhaverbeke is a veteran business coach and change facilitator helping leaders become irreplaceable in the age of AI. With a background in early web development and 20+ years guiding organizations through change, she focuses on keeping work human while teams adopt powerful new technology.

Key Discussion Themes

  • Why most people think they need prompt training—and what actually matters
  • Practical AI concerns teams raise first: security, privacy, and data handling
  • The “cognitive agility” framework and the five human skills AI can’t automate:
    • Flexible thinking
    • Emotional intelligence (real empathy vs. simulated empathy)
    • Collaboration and collective intelligence
    • Intuition and embodied decision-making
    • Innovation and truly novel thinking
  • Why in-person training still changes the dynamic (even in remote-first teams)
  • “Slow is fast” leadership in an age of hyper-productivity
  • Staying human as the long-term competitive advantage in business

Listener Takeaway

AI can speed up outputs—but it can’t replace human judgment, connection, and true creativity. If you want to stay valuable, build the skills that aren’t pattern-based and lead your team with intention, not urgency.

John Whitt is a corporate leader turned business coach and the founder of Business Whitt. After decades in the corporate grind, he built Whole Life Leadership to help entrepreneurs and executives grow businesses without losing their lives in the process.

Key Discussion Themes

  • The shift from corporate life to entrepreneurship — and why many people bring the “grind” with them
  • Who John serves today: construction/trades, corporate middle managers in transition, and college students navigating uncertainty
  • The “many hats” problem: why expertise in one lane doesn’t prepare you for running the whole business
  • Whole Life Leadership: why, vision, relationships, goals, team, planning, and financial management
  • Profit clarity: revenue isn’t the win — profit is what you keep
  • Pricing pitfalls: being the lowest price is usually a train wreck
  • Leading remotely: inspiration beats “looking over their shoulder”
  • Rest as strategy: the leadership skill most people ignore until it hurts

Listener Takeaway

If your business success is costing you your health, relationships, or peace, the answer isn’t “try harder.” It’s clarity, leadership systems, and building the business to support the life you actually want.

He was “winning” on paper, but life felt off. That turning point led him into coaching, and eventually into a clearer mission: help leaders build businesses that create both margin and meaning. In this conversation, John breaks down his Whole Life Leadership framework — identity, relationships, business clarity/efficiency, and legacy — plus the practical realities entrepreneurs face when they leave corporate or step out of the trades.

Mary Lawson — Mary Colleen Photography
Mary is a fine art trained photographer based in Valleyview, Alberta. She specializes in school, sports, and event photography, with a growing photo booth offering for events and business marketing.

Key discussion themes

  • Building community trust first, then expanding services (grad photos → school photos → more communities)
  • Getting clients the unglamorous way: consistent outreach, emails, and follow-up
  • The photo booth as an “extension” that creates marketing takeaways (prints, magnets, buttons, cards)
  • Managing misconceptions from Pinterest inspiration and adjusting for real-world environments
  • Growing a creative business while raising kids: lean on friends and family, ask for help, and take the nap
  • Using travel for inspiration and bringing ideas home to improve the local experience

Listener takeaway

Growth doesn’t have to be loud. In small communities especially, consistency and trust compound—one “yes” at a time.

]]> Fine Art to Small-Town Volume: How Mary Lawson Built a Photography Business Through Trust Mary Lawson, Virginia Purnell 00:29:44 Mary Lawson is a fine art trained photographer who built Mary Colleen Photography from the ground up in Valleyview, Alberta. In this episode, she shares what it really looks like to grow a creative business in a small community—starting with a few grad photo sessions, earning trust year after year, and slowly expanding into school, sports, and event photography across Northern Alberta. Mary also talks about how she’s grown the “extension” side of her business with a photo booth, why she believes in supporting other photographers instead of treating them like competition, and how travel keeps her ideas fresh. If you’re building a service business while raising a family (or starting over in a new place), her approach is refreshingly practical: find the niche, ask for help, and stay calm when things don’t go to plan.

Laura Patac returns to Entrepreneur Conundrum to talk about her newest book, Whole, Not Perfect, and how imperfection, reflection, and authenticity shape the way we live and lead—especially during major identity shifts.

Key Discussion Themes

  • Identity crisis after leaving a role, title, or organization
  • The “unique individual value proposition” (4-part framework):
    • Origin story
    • Strengths (and how to name, claim, and aim them)
    • Values
    • Aspirations (and the unique journey to reach them)
  • Why perfectionism keeps people stuck in “fixing weaknesses”
  • Self-leadership as the foundation for leading others through change
  • “Bondship” vs friendship—who stays with you when life shifts
  • Using reflection frameworks (story / real / dream) to clarify direction

Listener Takeaway

If you’re navigating change—by choice or by surprise—your next step isn’t to reinvent your title. It’s to reconnect with what’s already true about you: the strengths you naturally use, the values you won’t compromise, and the story that shaped you.

https://entrepreneurconundrum.com/derrickgirard

Guest

Derrick Girard is a former Air Force veteran, tech founder, and author. After years in the financial services industry, he built a tech company to solve an industry-wide problem—then sold it six and a half years later. Today he speaks and consults with entrepreneurs and organizations on applying the Figure It Out mindset to real-world challenges.

Key discussion themes

  • What “figure it out” really means—and how people usually use it
  • The moment a problem becomes fully yours to solve
  • Why self-awareness is harder (and more useful) than self-confidence
  • The hidden cost of handling hard seasons alone
  • How excuses show up in business, careers, and leadership
  • The confidence vs. arrogance line—and how questions keep you grounded
  • A simple lesson for students and founders: excuses aren’t solutions

Listener takeaway

When things get hard, the answer isn’t more motivation. It’s ownership, honesty, and the willingness to stay in the problem long enough to find the next step.

But her success isn’t built on volume alone — it’s built on culture. In this episode, Erin shares: - How to hire for culture fit (and culture add) - The interview “tests” that eliminate the wrong candidates - Why most entrepreneurs hire too late - How to retain high performers long-term - The difference between running a family business and leading a championship team - Why difficult days don’t define you — your response does If you’re building a team, scaling a business, or leading people — this episode is packed with actionable insights.

Company: Life Insurance Settlements Association member / LI Settlements
Website: lisettlements.com
LinkedIn: Rob Haynie (linkedin.com/in/rob-haynie-08656b9/)
Podcast Mentioned: Unlocking the Hidden Value of Your Life Insurance

What you’ll learn

  • What a life settlement is (and how it differs from surrendering or lapsing a policy)
  • Why policies often get more expensive later, and why so many people are never told
  • The typical “qualifying window” (often starting around age 75, depending on health and policy type)
  • How a “free, non-binding appraisal” can help you understand what your policy may be worth
  • Why the industry is still widely misunderstood—even after 30+ years
  • Rob’s mindset lessons: mental toughness, sleep, and controlling your part of the game

Key moments (timestamps based on your transcript)

  • 1:15–2:21 – How Rob discovered the industry during the HIV/AIDS era
  • 2:21–3:29 – The time-management reality of urgent client needs
  • 3:35–6:56 – Life settlements explained simply + why surrender/lapse is so common
  • 6:56–10:52 – “Know what it’s worth” and why the market exists
  • 14:24–15:36 – The “sweet spot” age and when to pay attention
  • 19:00–24:09 – Awareness strategies: advisor guide + documentary visibility
  • 29:36–35:10 – Best advice received: mental toughness + sleep
  • 41:16–43:10 – “Put life back in life insurance” + aging-in-place example
  • 43:10–44:07 – Where to learn more

Action steps (listener-friendly)

  • If you or a parent has a policy and the premiums are climbing: get a review/appraisal before surrendering or lapsing.
  • Ask: Do we still need this coverage? If not, find out what options exist.
  • If you’re a financial professional: add annual policy reviews into your client rhythm.

Key Questions 

(01:06)  So two questions. One, how did you end up where you are today? And two, how do you find your time management situation?

(03:29) Just a quick synapse on what you help people with again.

(14:24) So is there a sweet age, let's say, where I should really weigh benefits of really having one versus cashing it in?

(19:14) What else are you doing to try to get in front of people?

(29:36) What's the best advice that you have ever received?

(35:10) What's the best advice that you have ever given?

]]> Rob Haynie: The Hidden Value Inside Your Life Insurance Policy (Life Settlements 101) Virginia Purnell, Rob Haynie 00:44:16 Rob Haynie has spent more than three decades helping older policy owners understand a surprising truth: a life insurance policy can be a sellable asset—similar to a home—rather than something you either keep forever or surrender/lapse for little to nothing. In this episode, Rob breaks down life settlements in plain language, why so many policies lapse by design, and when a policy might qualify (often around age 75+). He also shares how the industry is working to raise awareness, why podcasts are driving the most qualified interest, and how a life settlement can fund real-life needs like aging in place renovations or healthcare costs. Along the way, Rob reflects on mental toughness, sleep as a success strategy, and the mindset shift of controlling your part of the “game.” Rob Haynie has spent more than three decades helping older policy owners understand a surprising truth: a life insurance policy can be a sellable asset—similar to a home—rather than something you either keep forever or surrender/lapse for little to nothing.

Alison shares why public speaking, trade shows, and real conversations consistently outperform social media in her industry — and how too many sales professionals stay stuck being reactive instead of proactive.

You’ll also hear Alison’s candid take on:

  • Why most sales and marketing efforts fail before they start
     
  • How referral and “co-op” relationships create faster momentum than cold outreach
     
  • What it really cost to publish her first book — and why it was worth every dollar
     
  • The challenge of collecting authentic testimonials in a paid-review world
     
  • Using AI as a second brain, not a shortcut
     
  • Her new workforce development summit helping high-school students build real communication skills and land internships

This episode is especially valuable for entrepreneurs, sales professionals, and trade-based business owners who want sustainable growth without relying on constant social media posting.

]]> Mon, 19 Jan 2026 14:00:00 +0000 hello@entrepreneurconundrum.com (Alison Mullins, Virginia Purnell) https://entrepreneurconundrum.com/alisonmullins In this episode of Entrepreneur Conundrum, Virginia Purnell sits down with Alison Mullins — an award-winning sales leader, two-time best-selling author, and founder of Rep Methods — to talk about what actually drives growth in trade-based businesses.

Alison shares why public speaking, trade shows, and real conversations consistently outperform social media in her industry — and how too many sales professionals stay stuck being reactive instead of proactive.

You’ll also hear Alison’s candid take on:

  • Why most sales and marketing efforts fail before they start
     
  • How referral and “co-op” relationships create faster momentum than cold outreach
     
  • What it really cost to publish her first book — and why it was worth every dollar
     
  • The challenge of collecting authentic testimonials in a paid-review world
     
  • Using AI as a second brain, not a shortcut
     
  • Her new workforce development summit helping high-school students build real communication skills and land internships

This episode is especially valuable for entrepreneurs, sales professionals, and trade-based business owners who want sustainable growth without relying on constant social media posting.

Jason shares his unfiltered journey from corporate burnout to entrepreneurship, the brutal realities behind “overnight success,” and why mindset is the foundation that determines whether a business survives market shifts. They dive deep into how AI is reshaping marketing automation, why webinars are becoming one of the most powerful trust-building tools again, and how AI agents are outperforming traditional email funnels. This conversation is a grounded reminder that success isn’t about hacks—it’s about consistent action, patience, authenticity, and learning to stay mentally steady when the business world gets chaotic.

In this episode of Entrepreneur Conundrum, Virginia Purnell sits down with PR strategist Zachary Bernard, founder of WeFeature You, to unpack how credibility is built before the sales conversation ever happens. Zach shares his journey from launching an automation agency at a young age to building a PR firm that helps founders amplify their expertise through podcast guesting, media placements, and consistent visibility.

The conversation explores why being “good” at your work is no longer enough, how third-party validation changes buyer perception, and why podcasts have become one of the most effective credibility-building tools available to entrepreneurs today. Zach explains how podcast appearances, when leveraged properly, create trust, shorten sales cycles, and make every other marketing effort more effective.

Virginia and Zach also discuss common mistakes business owners make when it comes to visibility — including trying to be everywhere at once, failing to repurpose content, and underestimating the role of consistency. Zach offers practical insight into choosing the right platforms, using email outreach effectively, and building a digital presence that supports long-term growth rather than quick wins.

This episode is a valuable listen for founders, CEOs, and business owners who want to strengthen their authority, be taken seriously online, and build a brand that people trust before they ever reach out.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why credibility often matters more than talent in business growth
  • How podcast guesting builds trust faster than traditional marketing
  • The role of PR and third-party validation in buyer decision-making
  • Common visibility mistakes entrepreneurs make online
  • Why consistency on fewer platforms beats being everywhere
  • How podcast content should be leveraged as a long-term marketing asset
  • Building authority without relying on paid ads

]]> How Storytelling Builds Stronger Leaders with Laura Patac Laura Patac, Virginia Purnell 00:34:28 In this episode, Virginia sits down with Laura Patac, a global leadership mentor, entrepreneur, and former corporate executive who has lived and worked across seven countries on five continents. Laura brings over two decades of experience leading large-scale organizational change, and now she empowers emerging leaders—especially millennials and Gen Z—to navigate complexity with confidence, emotional intelligence, and purpose. Laura shares how her journey began as a quiet, introverted teenager who discovered journaling as a way to express herself. That creative outlet evolved into a powerful storytelling approach she later used throughout her corporate career to motivate teams, build products, and inspire meaningful transformation. Eventually, she realized her creativity could create deeper impact outside the confines of corporate roles. Today, Laura mentors young leaders through her 3M Framework—Mindset, Motivation, and Methods—helping them manage ambiguity, build purposeful habits, and use storytelling as a strategic leadership skill. She also discusses her book Stories with Purpose and her goal to impact 100,000 people in the next year through writing, coaching, and teaching.

Michael shares his journey from military intelligence and Big Four consulting to building his own boutique consultancy focused on behavior-centric change.

You’ll hear practical insights on designing change at the individual level, using failure and “watching the tape” as a tool for growth, and shifting from control to coaching so your people own the “how.” If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to lead change—in your life or your organization—this conversation will help you rethink your approach and unlock new momentum. Listen in to learn how to make effort the reward, embrace mistakes as fuel for neuroplasticity, and build teams that don’t fear change, but grow through it.

  • Why freedom, not hustle, is his highest value—and how he designed his life around it
     
  • The danger of being tactically perfect but strategically wrong

  • The story of attending Warren Buffett’s last AGM as CEO and Lloyd’s goal of owning one Berkshire Hathaway A share

]]> Become Time Rich: Ditch Busywork and Build Real Wealth with Lloyd Ross Lloyd Ross, Virginia Purnell 00:36:10 In this episode of Entrepreneur Conundrum, Virginia sits down with lawyer-turned-multi-business owner and seven-figure investor Lloyd Ross to unpack what it really means to be time rich and financially free. Lloyd shares how he walked away from an unfulfilling legal career, burned out commutes in Abu Dhabi, and traditional “success” to build leveraged income streams, a multi-million-dollar portfolio, and a lifestyle where freedom is his highest value. Lloyd explains why busyness is often a symptom of poor strategy and low leverage, not a badge of honour—and how our environment, identity, and standards shape our financial outcomes. He dives into the mindset and behaviour shifts that helped him become a published author, award-winning podcast host, network marketing leader, and co-owner of multiple businesses, while still protecting white space in his calendar. You’ll hear Lloyd’s practical frameworks for raising your money standards, buying assets, delegating as an act of leadership (and personal development for others), and “marrying the process and divorcing the outcome.” If you’ve ever worn “busy” like a badge or felt guilty earning more while doing less, this conversation will challenge your thinking—and show you what becoming time rich can look like in real life.

    ]]>     Evolve or Be Slaughtered: Derrick Chevalier on Negotiating People, Not Problems Derrick Chevalier, Virginia Purnell 01:01:44 Negotiation strategist and author Derrick Chevalier (H-C; Evolve or Be Slaughtered) unpacks why most “win-win” advice fails in business, how to negotiate people rather than transactions, and the real difference between persuasion and influence. He shares SMAC-style strategy, the antidote to any tactic, and why harmony beats balance for founders. We cover closing more deals without feeling salesy, when to split the difference (and when not to), and how to use empathy as a cooperative tool—not a weapon. If you’ve ever left a deal “feeling good” and later regretted it, this one will recalibrate your approach. Negotiation strategist and author Derrick Chevalier (H-C; Evolve or Be Slaughtered) unpacks why most “win-win” advice fails in business, how to negotiate people rather than transactions, and the real difference between persuasion and influence.

    • Prima’s pivot + origin — Moving from engineering and retail to online work; COVID as the “house on fire” moment that forced reinvention.
       
    • “Best Kept Secret” diagnosis — It’s not lack of skill; it’s talking about what the market doesn’t urgently care about.
       
    • House on Fire Marketing — Identify activation points (urgent, can’t-wait problems), show up with a “fire extinguisher,” then demonstrate and invite.
       
    • Leads vs Buyers — Why “leads” can be someday/never; focus on buyer intent to shorten time-to-trust and time-to-cash.
       
    • Conviction > tactics — Self-leadership, integrity, and inner work as the engine behind strategy.
       
    • Seasons, silence, and signal — Reducing noise to hear divine guidance; living on your terms, not chasing balance myths.
       
    • Revenue rhythm — Structuring offers (6–24 months) so $2K days come from today’s sales + tomorrow’s recurring.

    • Prima’s pivot + origin — Moving from engineering and retail to online work; COVID as the “house on fire” moment that forced reinvention.
       
    • “Best Kept Secret” diagnosis — It’s not lack of skill; it’s talking about what the market doesn’t urgently care about.
       
    • House on Fire Marketing — Identify activation points (urgent, can’t-wait problems), show up with a “fire extinguisher,” then demonstrate and invite.
       
    • Leads vs Buyers — Why “leads” can be someday/never; focus on buyer intent to shorten time-to-trust and time-to-cash.
       
    • Conviction > tactics — Self-leadership, integrity, and inner work as the engine behind strategy.
       
    • Seasons, silence, and signal — Reducing noise to hear divine guidance; living on your terms, not chasing balance myths.
       
    • Revenue rhythm — Structuring offers (6–24 months) so $2K days come from today’s sales + tomorrow’s recurring.

    (05:58) Are you doing anything on social media to help get the awareness out there?

    (07:02) What channels of social media are you using?

    (07:34) What are some big goals that you're looking to achieve in the next year or two?

    (08:35) What do you feel is your number one roadblock for achieving that?

    (09:23) Can you talk to us a little bit about how, or that purpose and profit can actually exist together in a marketing strategy?

    (10:30) What do you feel it takes to build high-performing teams by humanizing the brand and business?

    (12:38) I guess that leads into how to lead with Soul for business and the brands. Is it anything else, collaborator?

    (15:02) What's the best advice that you have ever received?

    (15:45) What's the best advice you've ever given?

    (16:02) Can you give an example?

They explore the root causes of burnout, the myth of “more engineers = faster delivery,” and how Thanos' 4-part model (Iteration, Quality, Complexity, and Planning) helps transform how engineering teams function. He also shares his views on bottlenecks, productivity, and the hidden cost of skipping technical investment.

    Key Questions
    (00:58) Can you tell us a little bit about how you got to where you are?

    (02:17) Who would you say are your ideal clients these days?

    (02:43) When you say operations side, what are you meaning?

    (04:03) How do you get in front of these people?

    (04:52) Are there any common mistakes or pitfalls that clients tend to have when they start working with you?

    (06:45) So in an ideal situation then, when would I know that right now it's a really good time to come and see you?

    (08:07) Are some of those people, or a lot of those people, scared to, let's say, give up the power?

    (09:34) What are some big goals that you're looking to achieve in the next year or two?

    (10:34) Can you share with us a little bit about building A teams, especially ones that are remote?

    (12:51) Do you think that they don't hire up because they have that subconscious fear, or could it be like a money thing? Oh, they're too expensive.

    (15:03) Intrinsic leadership. How can we lead even if we're not the smartest one in the party?

    (20:44) Don't just set goals, hit them. What can you tell us about that?

    (23:08) How do you go down the track with blinders on and not get distracted by the shiny?

    (25:01) So then you just make a list of them all, and then when the next quarter comes up, you reevaluate that list and see if there's any that are still interesting?

    (26:11) What is some of the best advice that you have ever received?

    (28:29) So did it happen just because of conversations you had with them with like, I'm expecting this to be different, or was it just the energy that you brought to the table?

    (29:42) What's the best advice you've ever given?

    (33:30) We did cover a variety of things, but is there something that we didn't touch on that you would like to?

    Key Questions
    (00:58) Can you tell us a little bit about how you got to where you are?

    (02:17) Who would you say are your ideal clients these days?

    (02:43) When you say operations side, what are you meaning?

    (04:03) How do you get in front of these people?

    (04:52) Are there any common mistakes or pitfalls that clients tend to have when they start working with you?

    (06:45) So in an ideal situation then, when would I know that right now it's a really good time to come and see you?

    (08:07) Are some of those people, or a lot of those people, scared to, let's say, give up the power?

    (09:34) What are some big goals that you're looking to achieve in the next year or two?

    (10:34) Can you share with us a little bit about building A teams, especially ones that are remote?

    (12:51) Do you think that they don't hire up because they have that subconscious fear, or could it be like a money thing? Oh, they're too expensive.

    (15:03) Intrinsic leadership. How can we lead even if we're not the smartest one in the party?

    (20:44) Don't just set goals, hit them. What can you tell us about that?

    (23:08) How do you go down the track with blinders on and not get distracted by the shiny?

    (25:01) So then you just make a list of them all, and then when the next quarter comes up, you reevaluate that list and see if there's any that are still interesting?

    (26:11) What is some of the best advice that you have ever received?

    (28:29) So did it happen just because of conversations you had with them with like, I'm expecting this to be different, or was it just the energy that you brought to the table?

    (29:42) What's the best advice you've ever given?

    (33:30) We did cover a variety of things, but is there something that we didn't touch on that you would like to?

    (35:02) Where can we reach you at and learn more about what you do?

    00:14:33 Have you read Aristotle?

    00:15:35 What are some big goals that you're looking to achieve in the next year or two?

    00:18:06 What's the best advice you've ever given?

    00:21:24 So you have read all of these different views and concepts and stuff like that, and some of them must have conflicted with each other. How do you go about sorting that out?

    00:23:21 I appreciate you being with us today, Nick. Is there anything that we haven't touched on that you would like to talk about?

She embodies the belief that success is within reach for those who believe in themselves and their potential. This podcast episode serves as a motivational guide for aspiring entrepreneurs, emphasizing the importance of hard work and the necessary skills for building a thriving business.

Through perseverance and resilience, she was able to overcome these obstacles, sign a buyout agreement, and even take a much-needed honeymoon to Italy. It was during this time of reflection that she had a flash of inspiration and came up with the name for my own company, "Crown Yourself," even without a clear vision of the product or problem she would solve.

In this episode, we uncover the unique experiences of nurses who yearn for greater fulfillment in their careers, urging them to explore personal branding and expand their horizons. Ashley discovered that some nurses lacked confidence due to the stigma surrounding the cannabis industry. Ever the trailblazer, she established herself as an entrepreneur, inspiring others to do the same.

Marnie is the founder and CEO of Rumbly. This new incredible brand is on a mission to change how women experience pregnancy. Rumbly started as a small idea during her third pregnancy when she realized women's experiences during this life changing time deserved a new narrative. With previous entrepreneurial work in hospitality, food, drink and product development, Marnie embarked on a new journey focused on leading a change in how we approach the transition into motherhood. Helping Women prioritize themselves throughout the whole journey, and particularly when no one else is, while further tapping into the excitement of it all continues to be the mission of Rumbly since the first conception. And to this day Rumbly is so much more than just a curated box of awesome products. It's carving a new way for women to experience pregnancy, one that's dedicated to both the woman she is and the mom she's becoming. Being a mother and starting Rumbly has equally brought Marnie the highest levels of joy. 

    Key Questions:

    Virginia  01:26 Have you always kind of been the entrepreneurial type?

    Virginia  04:06 What are some things that people could find in your box?

    Virginia  07:48 Do you guys have like an ideal client?

    Virginia  08:44 Where can you get Rumbly?

He had a need for development and sought to find developers that were not only reliable but also knowledgeable and proactive in their mindset.

    A great deal of the success he has had over the last 10 years is no doubt due to the relationship he has built with his team of developers in a variety of industries such as Ecommerce, NFTs, Blockchain, Content/Affiliate media and many more.

While Daniel travelling around the world, Daniel saw first-hand the pollution and destruction harming our planet and felt compelled to be part of a movement for change. From this vision Rockay was born. Combining Daniel’s passion for sport and the environment, he decided to produce the best technical Performance Wear on this planet, but with a core aim for Rockay to help give back and protect our planet.

    So listen in and learn a little from Daniel and his two companies that he created.

Joshua is an Empath, Medium, Indigo and a Healer.

    Many, many years ago his life fell apart, much like Humpty Dumpty did, when he fell off the wall. At least he had all the king's horses and all the king's men to help him get back together again. Unfortunately, no one could help Joshua in such a way.

    He became anxious for no apparent reason at all and felt no control over his emotions. He became easily overloaded and had such bad migraine headaches that it knocked him out for 24 hours. Some days he wasn’t even functional to the point where he couldn’t move forward in his life. He never thought he could heal or resolve these problems, even though he kept working and working, and maybe became a bit compulsive at healing himself to no avail.

Chloe is a best selling author, international speaker and host of both the award winning ecommerce masterclass and Keep Optimizing podcasts. 

    Chloe is one of the top 30 ecommerce influencers in 2021. And her podcasts are regularly included in lists of the top ecommerce and marketing podcasts in the world. Chloe has been in E commerce since 2003. And there's barely a part of the E commerce landscape that she has not gotten involved with. One thing she's always done is solve an E commerce marketing problem. 

    A little about the Keep Optimizing Podcast:

    If you’re looking for ways to improve your marketing results, get more traffic, and convert more customers – you should be listening to Keep Optimising.
     

    Each week our host Chloë Thomas (best-selling author of ‘eCommerce Marketing: How to Get Traffic that BUYS to Your Website) interviews experts from around the world to bring you the latest and best advice on how to optimise your marketing.

    One of the most important things to do when improving your marketing is to focus. If you’re constantly jumping from one marketing method to the next it’s going to take you forever to make each work for you. To help you focus we’re not jumping from one marketing method to the next either.
     

    Each month we zero in on one marketing method, giving you a different way to improve it in each episode.


    A little about the Ecommerce Masterplan Podcast:

    The aim has never changed – to share inspiring and insightful stories of how other eCommerce business have gone about growing. 

    So every week we interview a different retailer (or occasionally an author or expert) to find out what they’ve been up to, and get them to share advice that will help you plot a better, faster, route to growth.

    Our Host Chloe Thomas

    Chloe is the brains behind the show, and has been in eCommerce for nearly 20 years. Initially she worked brand-side for a UK high-street/mail-order/online gift retailer where she totally got the eCommerce bug.

    In her next post (the kid-in-the-candy-shop-role) she got to introduce eCommerce marketing to a group of mail order brands. Then she took all she’d learnt there and founded a marketing agency that she ran for 9 years and 11 months.

    The sale of the agency has allowed Chloe to focus full time on helping as many eCommerce brands as possible to make better marketing decisions. 

    Tune in this week to hear all about it from the source!

    Key Questions:

    Virginia 00:51

    Can you give us kind of like a journey about how you became an entrepreneur and where you are today?

    Virginia 03:54

    So how do you get in front of those ideal clients?

    Virginia 05:01

    So when you're getting sponsors for your podcasts do they cover? What kind of aspects do they cover? Do they just like buy like space for an ad in your show? Or do they? How do you run that aspect of it?

    Virginia 05:56

    So what kind of do you have your listeners for your content and stuff? Do you feel like you kind of solve certain themes within your episodes?

    So you've had a pretty interesting journey thus far? What are some of the big goals that you're looking to achieve in the next year or two?

    Virginia 11:28

    Noemi and Gabor are the owners of the podcast connections. A husband and wife team and they have worked together for 13 years. They help entrepreneurs and business owners share their knowledge and connect them with quality podcast shows. Gabor is the founder and co owner of podcast connections. He has been doing online marketing since 2008. And he is dedicated to helping experts grow their business with interviews. And Noemi is the co owner of podcast connections, and she started working in the online field back in 2007.  

    What is Podcast Connections all about you ask... tune in to find out more.

    Key Questions:

    Virginia 03:26 So how has it been working together for 13 years? Do you have any data or any tips for those of us that do do a husband and wife team?

    Virginia 05:40 So when you guys first started, you'll notice that there weren't very many females sharing their expert tees. So who's kind of like your guys's target audience now?

    Virginia 07:50 So how do you guys get in front of those people?

    Virginia 09:49 Is there something that a common issue that you see your your clients doing That, are your ideal clients doing that you kind of wish that they knew more about, like common mistakes that they're making?

    Virginia 11:19 When you said that they don't really give the strategy enough time. I know, with some others, at some other platforms they say to do it's three months. But I know if podcasting, it might be a little bit different just from when I have the interview to when the interview airs and stuff like that. So do you guys kind of have a benchmark to at least give it X amount of time?

    Virginia 13:51 Do you guys go back and listen to all of the interviews once they air for the guests that you've done?

    ]]>     Mon, 26 Sep 2022 13:00:00 +0000 hello@entrepreneurconundrum.com (Distinct Digital Marketing) https://entrepreneurconundrum.com/ Today I'm talking with the Noemi and Gabor about how they help entrepreneurs acquire more customers, increase demand and generate more engagement. 

    Noemi and Gabor are the owners of the podcast connections. A husband and wife team and they have worked together for 13 years. They help entrepreneurs and business owners share their knowledge and connect them with quality podcast shows. Gabor is the founder and co owner of podcast connections. He has been doing online marketing since 2008. And he is dedicated to helping experts grow their business with interviews. And Noemi is the co owner of podcast connections, and she started working in the online field back in 2007.  

    What is Podcast Connections all about you ask... tune in to find out more.

    Key Questions:

    Virginia 03:26 So how has it been working together for 13 years? Do you have any data or any tips for those of us that do do a husband and wife team?

    Virginia 05:40 So when you guys first started, you'll notice that there weren't very many females sharing their expert tees. So who's kind of like your guys's target audience now?

    Virginia 07:50 So how do you guys get in front of those people?

    Virginia 09:49 Is there something that a common issue that you see your your clients doing That, are your ideal clients doing that you kind of wish that they knew more about, like common mistakes that they're making?

    Virginia 11:19 When you said that they don't really give the strategy enough time. I know, with some others, at some other platforms they say to do it's three months. But I know if podcasting, it might be a little bit different just from when I have the interview to when the interview airs and stuff like that. So do you guys kind of have a benchmark to at least give it X amount of time?

    Virginia 13:51 Do you guys go back and listen to all of the interviews once they air for the guests that you've done?

    Virginia 15:57 I'm sure you guys do the same thing to listen to a few episodes from the hosts podcast that you're reaching out to vent to, right?

    Virginia 17:26 Where do you guys were working in a different company?

    Virginia 18:59 What are some big goals that you guys are looking to achieve over the next couple years?

    Virginia 20:03 What would that do for your business? How would that change it?

    Virginia 20:51 What do you feel is the number one roadblock that's kind of holding you back from from expanding the way you want to?

    Ina graduated with a first-class degree from a top university and got fired from her first and only job. She's always known that she's wanted her own business, but she didn't know exactly what. She started investing in property, mostly for the money. In doing so she discovered her true unique place in the world, which is helping other educational creators and online business owners monetize their content and launch a consulting business.

    Ina had a very small savings pot that she used to invest in the first round of making her product. She basically ran out of money and realized that if she wanted to have a business, a service-based business was probably a better idea. It's because she didn't want to invest vast amounts of capital.

    Ina wanted a way to monetize what she already knew, without having to spend a lot of money doing that. And that's kind of how she got into social media and her online consulting.

    Virginia  06:36 So how do you stand out and get in front of your ideal clients?

    Virginia  18:48 What was the best advice you've ever given?

    Virginia  21:15 Do you have any tips on maybe working through that next thing or the other thing and just kind of focusing on that one thing?

    Virginia  23:11 What do you wish you had known about the online business before you started?

    ]]>     Mon, 6 Jun 2022 11:00:00 +0000 hello@entrepreneurconundrum.com (Distinct Digital Marketing) https://entrepreneurconundrum.com/ Here’s how Ina Bakalova helps business owners monetize their content. 

    Ina graduated with a first-class degree from a top university and got fired from her first and only job. She's always known that she's wanted her own business, but she didn't know exactly what. She started investing in property, mostly for the money. In doing so she discovered her true unique place in the world, which is helping other educational creators and online business owners monetize their content and launch a consulting business.

    Ina had a very small savings pot that she used to invest in the first round of making her product. She basically ran out of money and realized that if she wanted to have a business, a service-based business was probably a better idea. It's because she didn't want to invest vast amounts of capital.

    Ina wanted a way to monetize what she already knew, without having to spend a lot of money doing that. And that's kind of how she got into social media and her online consulting.

    KEY QUESTIONS:

    Virginia  05:03 So do you work just with the realtor niche now? Or have you expanded that a little bit?

    Virginia  06:36 So how do you stand out and get in front of your ideal clients?

    Virginia  09:17 Do you have any new tips for any of our listeners that might be feeling like impostors at the moment until they are however you want to look at it? Like they're not feeling like they know enough that they actually know or are big in their area?

    Virginia  10:36 What are a couple of goals that you have in the next few years?

    Virginia  11:49 How would that affect your business?

    Virginia  13:43 Do you feel like there's the main roadblock that might be stopping you from achieving those goals of your expansion?

    Virginia  16:59 So what is the best advice that you have ever received?

    Virginia  18:48 What was the best advice you've ever given?

    Virginia  21:15 Do you have any tips on maybe working through that next thing or the other thing and just kind of focusing on that one thing?

    Virginia  23:11 What do you wish you had known about the online business before you started?

    Virginia  26:46 Is there anything else that you'd like to share with us that we haven't touched on yet or anything like that?

    Not enough entrepreneurs are talking about creating company culture that ensures the happiness of people - owners, employees, clients, and other stakeholders alike.

    People are too focused on talks about profits and revenues, but if these were truly the keys to business growth, why aren't all businesses successful?

    Keep in mind, businesses aren't B2B or B2C. We're all in the business of Human-to-Human. And in this business, putting the needs of ALL people is key to success.

    Take it from Fredrik Van Huynh, Co-Founder and Director at Absolute Internship, a leading global internship program placing university students with top companies in Beijing, Hong Kong, London, Shanghai and Singapore.

    Fredrik, born and raised in Sweden, has his roots in Cambodia. As an immigrant child, he was excited about so many different things not typical of a local. Besides snow, he also loved buying Christmas Cards, which he would sell door-to-door to his classmates’ parents and random people. He’d use the money he earned to buy candy, which he also loved.

    His fascination for his childhood business experience is less about making money but rather in meeting people. This remained applicable even as he graduated from business school, and went on internships.

    During his studies in Japan, he met friends who needed internship opportunities. With Fredrik’s vast connection, he was able to help out his friends. Upon their return, they told him of their great experiences and also their struggles during the internship programs.

    Upon hearing about his friends struggles, Fredrik knew that if he really wanted to help people out, he had to find ways to address those problems. Thus began his journey towards creating Absolute Internship, now a multi-million-dollar business.

    Money is simply a(n optional) byproduct of helping people! It should never be the driver when you’re aiming for success. Because where help is needed, there’s an opportunity to impact lives. And believe us, huge positive impact is highly demanded, regardless of industry!

    KEY QUESTIONS:

    Virginia  04:43 So what's kind of your ideal client for that?

    Virginia  08:13 So what are some big goals that you're looking to achieve in the next year?

    Virginia  09:19 how would getting your fully remote? How would that affect your business?

    Virginia  10:08 What do you think a big roadblock is that is holding you back?

    Virginia  11:37 What's the best advice you've ever received?

    Virginia  12:54 What's the best advice that you have given?

    Virginia  17:42 I have one question. You might think it's random. So with the seven languages that you know how to speak, how do you keep it all? segmented and separated in your mind? So you don't like mix the two together when you're talking?

     

    So, are you ready provide a supply for that demand?

Not enough entrepreneurs are talking about creating company culture that ensures the happiness of people - owners, employees, clients, and other stakeholders alike. People are too focused on talks about profits and revenues, but if these were truly the keys to business growth, why aren't all businesses successful? Keep in mind, businesses aren't B2B or B2C. We're all in the business of Human-to-Human. And in this business, putting the needs of ALL people is key to success. Take it from Fredrik Van Huynh, Co-Founder and Director at Absolute Internship, a leading global internship program placing university students with top companies in Beijing, Hong Kong, London, Shanghai and Singapore. Fredrik, born and raised in Sweden, has his roots in Cambodia. As an immigrant child, he was excited about so many different things not typical of a local. Besides snow, he also loved buying Christmas Cards, which he would sell door-to-door to his classmates’ parents and random people. He’d use the money he earned to buy candy, which he also loved. His fascination for his childhood business experience is less about making money but rather in meeting people. This remained applicable even as he graduated from business school, and went on internships. During his studies in Japan, he met friends who needed internship opportunities. With Fredrik’s vast connection, he was able to help out his friends. Upon their return, they told him of their great experiences and also their struggles during the internship programs. Upon hearing about his friends struggles, Fredrik knew that if he really wanted to help people out, he had to find ways to address those problems. Thus began his journey towards creating Absolute Internship, now a multi-million-dollar business. Money is simply a(n optional) byproduct of helping people! It should never be the driver when you’re aiming for success. Because where help is needed, there’s an opportunity to impact lives. And believe us, huge positive impact is highly demanded, regardless of industry! KEY QUESTIONS: Virginia  04:43 So what's kind of your ideal client for that?

    As entrepreneurs, learning to harness these energies may be key to creating the impact we so desire.

    However, topics like energy psychology and quantum physics, among other sciences that deal with energy, can prove to be difficult to relate to business (at first glance).

    It’s easy to miss the connection between these sciences and the problems we face as entrepreneurs. And so, it’s quite a treat for us to be joined by Teri Karjala, an expert who understands and delves in these theories in relation to business!

    Teri is a Life Transformation Strategist, and the Founder and Executive Director of Creative Counselling Center, LLC, a business that employs therapists offering counselling services to adults and families, adolescents, and children.

    By putting together her counselling background together with energy psychology and by applying principles of quantum physics, Teri transforms people’s lives by clearing the unconscious blocks that hold us back.

    Her first encounter with the craft was during her HS sophomore year, when she became a peer counselor to 5th and 6th graders in her school. One of the kids in her care admitted to having a friend who plans to commit suicide. Through proper intervention, the kid’s friend got the help she needed. It was then that Teri realized her passion and calling.

    Fast forward to today, Teri focuses on serving women entrepreneurs get the help they need to reach the business success they’re meant to achieve.

    One principle that most of us need to understand is that the energy (positive/negative) we put out is a direct reflection of what we’ll get in return. When we’re too encumbered by negative energies that take the form of impostor syndrome, the fear of public speaking, among other fears, we miss out on opportunities that can take our businesses to the next level.

    On this episode, we let Teri show us how we can harness positive energies to unlock our full potentials as entrepreneurs so that we can positively change the lives of those we serve, and ultimately achieve business growth and success.

    What other theories and principles are directly affecting our businesses? What are crucial strategies we need to improve ourselves and our businesses?

If people don’t know who you are, how can they work with you?

    As an entrepreneur, if you’re not putting yourself out there and speaking to your ideal clients, you’re missing the boat.

    But in the sea of online content, where do you start? And what tactics help you stand out from the crowd?

    In this age, everyone’s “selling” on social media, and a whole lot are going crazy over FB Ads. And yet, very few actually achieve the visibility that they need for their business.

    This begs the question: if some of the best Ad Campaign tools aren’t getting you closer to your ideal clients, what will?

    We’ll give you a hint…It’s not about the tools but how you use them! Amassing an army doesn’t guarantee you the battle but the perfect strategy might just win you the war!

    Thankfully, Lisa Simone Richards is gracing our lives today with the Ultimate Lather-Rinse-Repeat PR and Visibility Strategy that will set you apart from the competition, get you connected with your ideal clients, and scale your business!

    Lisa is a PR and Visibility Strategist with over 20 years of experience in the industry. Through her workshops, masterclasses, and mentoring programs, she teaches her clients insider secrets on PR and Visibility, whether they’re looking to garner awareness, build “BUZZ” around their products and services, or boost their credibility and reputation.

    And NO, she doesn’t just work with large corporations. Lisa believes that EVERYONE, startups and new entrepreneurs included, should have access to Avenues for Visibility. No one who has made the bold step of taking a chance on themselves should have to shut down because of a lack of exposure.

    “You’re pulling our legs…there’s no perfect strategy…”

If people don’t know who you are, how can they work with you? As an entrepreneur, if you’re not putting yourself out there and speaking to your ideal clients, you’re missing the boat. But in the sea of online content, where do you start? And what tactics help you stand out from the crowd? In this age, everyone’s “selling” on social media, and a whole lot are going crazy over FB Ads. And yet, very few actually achieve the visibility that they need for their business. This begs the question: if some of the best Ad Campaign tools aren’t getting you closer to your ideal clients, what will? We’ll give you a hint…It’s not about the tools but how you use them! Amassing an army doesn’t guarantee you the battle but the perfect strategy might just win you the war! Thankfully, Lisa Simone Richards is gracing our lives today with the Ultimate Lather-Rinse-Repeat PR and Visibility Strategy that will set you apart from the competition, get you connected with your ideal clients, and scale your business! Lisa is a PR and Visibility Strategist with over 20 years of experience in the industry. Through her workshops, masterclasses, and mentoring programs, she teaches her clients insider secrets on PR and Visibility, whether they’re looking to garner awareness, build “BUZZ” around their products and services, or boost their credibility and reputation. And NO, she doesn’t just work with large corporations. Lisa believes that EVERYONE, startups and new entrepreneurs included, should have access to Avenues for Visibility. No one who has made the bold step of taking a chance on themselves should have to shut down because of a lack of exposure. “You’re pulling our legs…there’s no perfect strategy…” Can such a strategy exist? Do I have to shell out money to become VISIBLE to my ideal clients? What processes and systems tie in with this strategy? Tune in to gain insights from the experiences of fellow entrepreneurs and learn more about setting your business up for success!

    At first glance, despite being a powerful advice, it’s hard to fathom how you can simply start in order to be great.

    Especially true when you’ve got all sorts of fears brewing at the spit of your stomach, not to mention the impostor syndrome that’s taking over your mind like a plague.

    “I don’t know where to start.”

    “Maybe I’m not good enough.”

    “There’s still so much I have to learn first before I…”

    These are probably the most common objections you’ll hear from people when asked why they haven’t started their entrepreneurial journey.

    Sound familiar?

    Whether you find yourself relating to these, or you’re making your way but need help picking up the pace towards the success you deserve, you’re in luck because we’ve got Nancy Badillo here to crush your concerns!

    Nancy is a CEO, Etsy coach, YouTuber, blogger and digital marketing expert, and has been in the digital space for 12 years.

    Her mission is to help small business owners build and scale their businesses by leveraging the power of the digital space. With a focus on e-commerce coaching, as well as content creation, she is able to provide her clients with valuable expertise from startups, all through growth stages, making sure that they are equipped with everything they need to thrive in the market.

    Nancy went from earning 6 figures to bankruptcy real quick during the 2008 recession. She lost her home and found it difficult to pick herself up as she suffered with impostor syndrome.

    After finding the courage to leverage her experiences and expertise in the online markets, and understanding the power of niching down, she’s generated more success for herself than she did back in ’08, and she’s helping fellow entrepreneurs do the same!

    What’s Nancy’s big secret to success? How does niching down ultimately benefit your business? What other marketing strategies does she employ to keep growing her business?

    Not many can speak their mind, especially about controversial things – matters of public concern.

     

    We let our ideas, stories, and knowledge stay locked up in our heads, if it means we can avoid conflict or ridicule from those with opposing beliefs.

     

    The problem with this is that we live in a society where each of us is called to serve one another. In keeping our thoughts to ourselves, we deny those we are called to serve of valuable learnings.

     

    As entrepreneurs, we’re unable to serve our clients to the full extent when we don’t get to deliver the messages they need to hear.

     

    Understandably, most people shy away from the stage because speaking your mind can be quite daunting.

     

    This is where Kerry Heaps can help us!

     

    Kerry is an entrepreneur of 16 years, and the president of Book.Speak.Repeat. She also hosts a Podcast show of the same name. On top of these, Kerry is also an author and a sought-after speaker.

     

    Growing up in an entrepreneurial home was probably one of the biggest influences to her becoming an entrepreneur herself.

     

    Kerry saw how her father worked hard in his business but was always able to make time for her as a child.

     

    In the beginning, Kerry used to work jobs that others would consider great; however, she knew that there was something more for her.

     

    She wanted to be in-charge of her own projects, she wanted to be in control of her time, and more importantly, she wanted to pursue what she was passionate about.

     

    Today, Kerry helps others increase their speaking opportunities. She believes that everyone has different ideas they want to share, and different goals they want to achieve. Regardless of what those are, the power to effectively communicate is always a key component to success.

     

    How is speaking relevant to business success? How does she reach her desired market? How does she leverage content to augment her visibility strategies?

    ]]>     Opening Business Opportunities in the Speaking Industry with Kerry Heaps Kerry Heaps 00:31:14 We often take for granted our own voices. Not many can speak their mind, especially about controversial things – matters of public concern. We let our ideas, stories, and knowledge stay locked up in our heads, if it means we can avoid conflict or ridicule from those with opposing beliefs. The problem with this is that we live in a society where each of us is called to serve one another. In keeping our thoughts to ourselves, we deny those we are called to serve of valuable learnings. As entrepreneurs, we’re unable to serve our clients to the full extent when we don’t get to deliver the messages they need to hear. Understandably, most people shy away from the stage because speaking your mind can be quite daunting. This is where Kerry Heaps can help us! Kerry is an entrepreneur of 16 years, and the president of Book.Speak.Repeat. She also hosts a Podcast show of the same name. On top of these, Kerry is also an author and a sought-after speaker. Growing up in an entrepreneurial home was probably one of the biggest influences to her becoming an entrepreneur herself. Kerry saw how her father worked hard in his business but was always able to make time for her as a child. In the beginning, Kerry used to work jobs that others would consider great; however, she knew that there was something more for her. She wanted to be in-charge of her own projects, she wanted to be in control of her time, and more importantly, she wanted to pursue what she was passionate about. Today, Kerry helps others increase their speaking opportunities. She believes that everyone has different ideas they want to share, and different goals they want to achieve. Regardless of what those are, the power to effectively communicate is always a key component to success. How is speaking relevant to business success? How does she reach her desired market? How does she leverage content to augment her visibility strategies? Tune in to gain insights from the experiences of fellow entrepreneurs and learn more about setting your business up for success! Time Stamps: [00:05:25] VIRGINIA: Are you still doing the same business you did 16 years ago when you first went out on your own or have you kind of changed and evolved and stuff?

[00:13:34] VIRGINIA: What are a couple of big goals that you're hoping to achieve in the next one, two years? [00:15:05] VIRGINIA: How would that all change your business?

With health concerns as top priority, venues closed and large in-person gatherings were canceled to keep people safe and healthy.

    However, with the cancellation of in-person events, the demand for virtual events skyrocketed. Event companies, in particular, have had to pivot their approach to industry events, finding new ways to meet with stockholders, investors and new customers.

    May Yeo started her hospitality career as a food and beverage trainee at the Raffles Hotel, Singapore. It was there that she fell in love with the industry and decided to pursue her career further. In 2004, she came to Miami and worked her way up to Director of Catering and Conference Services and Director of Event Planning at several luxury hotels.

    As an event planner, she worked with celebrities, dignitaries, and leaders including Former President Bill Clinton, Rock Bands like U2, World Class Tennis Players including Venus Williams, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal, and Nascar drivers Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon.

    In 2012, May decided to take all that she had learned and started her own event planning company, M2 Hospitality. She brought the hustle as she built her company to multiple 6-figures while shattering industry norms.

    She ran her company without owning inventory, an office space, any event venues, and not a single full-time employee. She created an entirely new model for event planning that continues to be relevant and successful even as the pandemic raged on.

    Today, May is passionate about helping other event planners increase profitability, grow their business, and create impact on their own terms. Her coaching business walks EVENTrepreneurs through building a business and life they are excited to wake up to.

    How does the event planning industry impact other industries? How do you leverage people and technology to create successful events? Where do you begin to innovate your business to stay on top of any crisis?

With maintenance in their heads, most entrepreneurs keep themselves preoccupied with wearing all the hats in their business. This path takes its toll on entrepreneurs as they eventually get burnt out from all the stress. Nia Lewis learned this the hard way, but through that experience, she came back stronger and she’s now on a mission to keep other entrepreneurs from falling into the same trap. Nia is the CEO and founder of The Solopreneur Hustle, a platform that supports women in business. Earlier in her solopreneur journey, she worked relentlessly to build a business that was profitable and meaningful, but found herself drowning in her business without a lifejacket; hustling 24/7 just to stay afloat. It was through this challenge that Nia began realizing: there has to be a better way to build a business. Nia saw that if she wanted to set her business up for long-term success. She had to streamline her business in order to earn more while working less, ultimately gaining the satisfaction of success alongside the income she deserves. She learned how to relinquish control of certain aspects of her business as she started accepting help from fellow entrepreneurs and other industry experts. This allowed her to focus on what she does best in order to steer her business towards success Why should you leverage other experts in your field? Where should you really be focusing your attention in your business? How do you keep yourself motivated and on the right path to business growth?

Today, I'm talking with Donna Serdula about how she helps individuals optimize LinkedIn to its fullest Donna Serdula pioneered the concept of LinkedIn profile optimization.

    Virginia [00:31:18] So who is your ideal client?

    Virginia [00:33:18] How do those people find you?

    Virginia [00:36:31] We're just running short on time here. So I'd like to know from our questions, what's the best advice you have ever received?

    Virginia [00:41:33] Yeah, so what's the best advice you've ever given?

    Virginia [00:42:17] Is there anything that you'd like to say that I haven't asked?

Today I'm talking with Arlene Battishill about how she helps early stage startup companies drive social change through technology. Arlene has built a multi-million dollar company and then sold it. She went seven years without a paycheck before the company became profitable. She was on the TV show Shark Tank. She is a best selling author of two books, one on how to sell online. She was voted one of the top 100 most influential in fashion in Los Angeles. She won best in show during the Fashion Week in Los Angeles. She has also done the iron back challenge three times. That's where you ride your motorcycle nonstop for twenty four hours and you have to have ridden 1000 miles before the end of the twenty four hours in order to win the challenge. Welcome, Arlene.

She initially began her career as part of a network marketing company based in the financial industry, creating meaningful connections between professionals and their clients. While her work in that position taught me the value of communication and maintaining an open mind to personal development, it left her feeling unfulfilled. She knew what success looked like, but I didn’t know how to achieve it. Now she offers a series of personal coaching courses that can change your life, help you stand out from the crowd and be more than what you possibly imagined. Each course is designed by Bob Proctor to help you achieve your goals and dreams - Sh has spent years studying the course materials, developing an intricate and refined knowledge of what it means to change who you are, from the inside out, for the better.

We are growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible. 

    Hi, everyone, and welcome to the Entrepreneur Conundrum podcast. My name is Virginia Purnell. And today we have back with us Jodi Chaffee and how she helps families live more intentionally by creating systems and strategies for a thriving culture. Jodi is a seasoned podcast or homeschool mom and family culture expert. She has hosted our modern heritage, the Home and Family Culture Podcast, for three years and recently released her one hundredth episode. During this time, she has interviewed dozens of experts from Paralympic athletes to entrepreneurs and authors for more than three years. Jodi studied business culture and looked for ways to apply it to families. This resulted in a powerful framework for hacking successful cultures and applying it to families who want to live in intentionally and question the status quo. She has been featured on several podcasts presented at homeschool conferences and is a published author in a digital magazine. Welcome, Jodi

    Well, like you mentioned, I have my podcast and I have to mention again that I'm relaunching as the host of the family culture movement and in the hopes to present the podcast is with a more concise objective about, you know, this movement that I want to create around family culture and the importance of having a thriving culture based on trust and constructive coping strategies and systems and strategies for tackling problems before they even happen in your families. So that's my been my obsession for more than three years. And I, I can I have developed frameworks and systems to help families to cultivate their family culture. And so that's been my obsession besides my own family, our own family culture journey that I've been on, it really was sparked by the conflicts and questions I had in my own little family as we were going through our own journey and following the path, the quote unquote success path of going to school and getting a job and, you know, those kinds of things. And that path kind of like dead ended for us. And I did what I didn't realize was that subconsciously we felt like that was the only path that we could follow, because that's what we'd always been taught growing up. And when that fact when that path ended for us and we didn't know what to do, that was where I was like, wait, what do we do? And how do I raise my kids in a way that they will be successful even if they don't follow that path. And so that's where this whole exploration of family culture came from, was how I could educate my children, raised my kids to be more intentional about their future and how my husband, Michael and I can also change our status quo from, OK, we're supposed to just follow this path like robots to no, we want to live a path that's off the beaten path for us and do things that are going to help our family to thrive and be successful even if we don't necessarily follow the status quo. 

    And so that's where it all spurred from. And since then, my husband has quit his job and we're working on building our business and we actually moved in with my parents. So we're kind of doing a blended family type of thing. And. 

    And so it's been a really interesting journey, but one where I've learned a ton and have really been able to develop these systems that have allowed our family to get to a place where our kids, you know, we're not perfect, but they're they're really growing and progressing. And my husband and I are really changing our our trajectory of where we're going with our careers and our happiness. And we've been able to make the transition to live with my parents and actually be OK with it. And because I know that can be scary, but we're really supporting each other in our respective life situations. And so. Yes. So that's been our journey. And it's something that we're learning a lot and growing a lot. And it's been interesting and fun. 

    You just mix up the culture a bit. Exactly. Exactly. You're trying to learn all spectrums of this whole thing. 

    What is the best advice you've ever received? 

    Mm hmm. OK. That's a good one. So one of the first thing that first pops into my mind was when I first learned about what family culture was. I was actually a missionary for my church and I was assigned to serve in Hawaii. And that's a place where there's a lot of diversity, a lot of different cultures. And I had this experience where I went into a home of a newly married couple and they were from different countries and they were really, really butting heads with each other. And some of it had to do with some advice that they'd received that they that interracial marriages were doomed to fail. And so they were really upset about that. And they were upset about their cultural differences, kind of like they were almost believing that advice. And it really upset me because I just thought. Oh, my gosh, what am I going to do when I get married, if I marry somebody from a different country or, you know.

    Christina [00:00:50] And wonderful looking at the palm trees, enjoying the sunshine. Life is good. 

     

    Virginia [00:00:56] Can you tell us a little bit about yourself again? Just in case someone was it didn't catch the last episode. 

     

    Christina [00:01:05] Of course, of course. 

     

    Christina [00:01:07] So I'm originally from Budapest, Hungary, I was born and raised in Hungary and I got into entrepreneurship and marketing at the age of 14. 

     

    Christina [00:01:19] My dad gave me a book on affiliate marketing and it was written by a female entrepreneur. So I figured if she can make money with the affiliate marketing in the night, I can make it work too. And it was pretty much showing how to make money with the Click Bank offers on Google AdWords. Of course, I failed in the beginning. I kept failing and failing. But I remember the moment when I got my first check. You know, it was unreal. I was like, is this really a way? 

     

    Christina [00:01:51] I mean, it was just an incredible moment when my when when I could finally well, the first check of my artwork. And that was like a big push to keep going and to keep trying. Long story short now I am thanks to a flea marketing, I mean, in California. And I managed to move my parents and retire here, too. So they are they move from Hungary to to California as well. 

     

    Christina [00:02:17] Affiliate marketing and something I would highly, highly recommend to anyone who wants to work from the comfort of their home or to to who wants to travel and find the laptop lifestyle, then FDA marketing is the way to go. 

     

    Virginia [00:02:34] Awesome. It sounds like you've been able to do some pretty good, great things with with that scope of work. 

     

    Christina [00:02:43] Yeah, it's it's allowed me to not only to help my dad, and to actually travel around the world, but also to provide for my family and. 

     

    Christina [00:02:56] It's just I think it's the best feeling when you can give back to her parents right now. Nothing better than that. 

     

    Virginia [00:03:03] I agree. What's the best advice that you have ever received? 

     

    Christina [00:03:10] That's a good one. 

     

    Christina [00:03:12] The best advice I would say that I ever received is I always have a problem or a trouble having like a set schedule and like sticking to that schedule. And I got the add to just block two hours out in the day and get down, get done. What's the most important for that day? And even if you don't get the little things, you know, but like try to block out two hours and really dedicate to your to your work or to your business and take it from there. 

     

    Christina [00:03:46] And don't be too hard on yourself for not doing everything that you you want to get done. 

     

    Virginia [00:03:52] I like that part where I don't be too hard on yourself because we're always well, for me I'm always like, but he didn't get to that, that that that that I'd done. 

     

    Christina [00:04:01] And it keeps going in your head. It can it can get to you and it can cause depression and have mental issues. And then, you know, it affects your mood and your body and all that. 

     

    Christina [00:04:13] So I would say I don't want to be too hard on myself or don't be too hard on your colleagues or anyone much like working with you. 

     

    Virginia [00:04:24] Good advice. Thank you. What's the best advice you've ever given? 

     

    Christina [00:04:30] The best advice. OK, so I don't ask the question. 

     

    Christina [00:04:34] If I had to start over again, how would I do or what would I do? Which way would I go? 

     

    Christina [00:04:42] And I would say if I had to start over, I would doubt myself. If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to treat that silly marketing as a business. 

     

    Christina [00:04:54] There is too much in the game and the advice I would give myself is to pick one thing and one traffic source to master, or at least pick one traffic source. And master, that particular traffic switched on. Hop around between Facebook or Google or pop traffic or email marketing or affiliate marketing or whatever to pick one traffic source and become the master of it. And then you can go on to the next one. 

     

    Virginia [00:05:25] So true. Then you have all of your focus and all of your knowledge in one place and not getting all strung out everywhere. 

     

    Virginia [00:05:32] Yeah, exactly what big goals are you looking to achieve over the next one to two years? 

     

    Christina [00:05:39] I love that question. The past couple of years, I've been traveling a lot and I feel like I've reached to a point where I just want to give back more. 

     

    Christina [00:05:49] I feel like there affiliate marketing, provides such a good way of making money online that you can really follow your dreams if you want to settle down and have family that you can do a fair marketing match with, or if you want to keep traveling and exploring the world and you can, you know, use the free marketing as a source of income to pay for all of your, you know, passion. 

     

    Christina [00:06:16] Right. So I want to I want to be able to help other people to become financially independent thanks to a in marketing. 

     

    Christina [00:06:25] And my goal for. That's why I figured, well, is your time to really sit down. Focus. And in the next two years, that list 1000, 1000 people. Who have created, you know, financial independence with. And were you sure? That is my goal. 

     

    Christina [00:06:47] And if it takes three years or four years, it's OK to. I'm not going to be too hard on myself. 

     

    Christina [00:06:54] But yeah, I do have this to my timeline. What, eight months have passed from that already? 

     

    Virginia [00:07:04] How would that goal change your business? 

     

    Christina [00:07:07] You mean, if I reached the goal correct, it would create a sense of fulfillment. So it's not really monetary. Of course, it will have a monetary side of it, too. But my main goal is to actually achieve. And see other people being able to do what I am able to do. So I would I would say it would it would give me a big, you know, sense of fulfillment of being able to help while being able to help other people. 

     

    Virginia [00:07:41] A great way to pay it forward. Yeah. 

     

    Virginia [00:07:45] That's cool. What do you think, though? Is there one roadblock that's stopping you from achieving that goal right now. 

     

    Christina [00:07:53] I love this question. The number one roadblock, as you know, is that you are asking the question as if I was talking to myself in my head. I'm glad we can help. 

     

    Christina [00:08:07] Yeah, good luck. I mean, there are multiple distractions on the road of distractions in life, you know? So it's really, I would say, or road visuals, distractions that you need to be aware of. 

     

    Christina [00:08:21] Well, it could be family. It could be. It could be equal focus. I would say I don't know. 

     

    Christina [00:08:29] I'm really set on my goal and I always achieve it. Whenever I set myself a goal, I always achieve it. So I'm on achiever. And I'm in there all the time. So, I mean, you know, I show they're always like. Times when you feel like you're failing. But that failure is just a step towards winning. 

     

    Christina [00:08:53] So I never look at failure or like a roadblock, as you know, as like the end of it. It's just learning a lesson. It's a learning curve. So I'm not really concerned about roadblocks or failure. I always look at the end result and what I want to get out of it and what I'm going to get out of it. So that would be my. 

     

    Virginia [00:09:18] Those are some wise words that are that are in there. Thank you. You're welcome. What are you doing to get visible and to stand out online? 

     

    Christina [00:09:31] What I do actively is I'm being active in groups that are related to ethnic and marketing or online entrepreneurship, updating my social media all the time. I get organic traffic, but I also buy, you know, Adshel, whatever I got, I want to get the word out there. 

     

    Christina [00:09:52] I'm given that I'm an affiliate marketer. 

     

    Christina [00:09:54] I really know how to how to buy traffic, how to buy Facebook traffic. I am able to get the word out there and get as much visibility as I want. If it really is about, you know, reaching a goal. So I do two things. I do provide a little value in groups and respond to questions that may arise, you know, regarding online entrepreneurship, performance, marketing. I also I want Edge to get more visibility to get to be known by people who may not know me yet. 

     

    Christina [00:10:32] So I would I would say that those are the two powerful ways to get to get known in one industry. 

     

    Virginia [00:10:41] Awesome. Thank you. 

     

    Virginia [00:10:43] With all the success you have achieved, what is your biggest challenge now? 

     

    Christina [00:10:51] My biggest challenge is actually to stay put, because, you know, like once you achieve a level of income, then you can get very lazy and it can. 

     

    Christina [00:11:05] Money can get to your head. So I think I'm over that when you you know, like when you go out and spends a lot of money on stupid things like expensive bags or expensive trips that are not very necessary or I don't know when it was really awful feeling in the beginning to spend the money however I want to. 

     

    Christina [00:11:27] But then I think a list. Is this the result of of the fact that I'm from a poor family, you know? 

     

    Christina [00:11:36] And that I never could have like an expensive bag. And it was like fulfilling to buy one. But it doesn't really make you happy in the long term. You know it does momentarily. That happiness does not stick with you. It just becomes like an object that you already have or is having. You get used to it. Right. So once you're on a level of like convenience, comfort zone is a big enemy. So I always tried to challenge myself not to stay in the comfort zone because you don't grow in a comfort in your comfort zone. You only grow outside of it. Right. So that's one of the biggest challenges to not stay in the comfort zone.

     

    Virginia [00:12:20] Yeah, I was going to say because it's nice in the comfort zone.  What would you like to share that I haven't asked you yet? 

     

    Christina [00:12:34] What would I like to share? 

     

    Christina [00:12:37] Which I would like to share if if I if I look back, you know, for some reason I. I would say, I mean, it was a it was a tough journey, but for me it was never a failure. 

     

    Christina [00:12:53] I think my biggest takeaway would be for me or my message that I would like to send to everyone with this gash to even if you are failing at the moment, don't give up, because if you look at the long term picture, you will be you will get to where you want to be if you keep going. So there are people who give up at the first try and they're happy or who don't give up. 

     

    Christina [00:13:19] And I would like to encourage everyone to be that person who gives up after the first try. So there is always a solution. There's always a way. I just have to find it. 

     

    Virginia [00:13:30] Thank you. And thank you for the great interview, Christina. How can people find out more about you and what you do?

    Virginia Purnell:

    Welcome to Entrepreneur Conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online. 

    Hi everyone. Today, I'm talking with Chris Williams about how he helps businesses scale and grow. 

    Chris has over 20 years of experience in entrepreneurship for profit leadership and socially responsible marketing engagement. He has helped creative agencies build wealth and agency owners develop innovative winning strategies. His expertise includes lead generation creative team building and allowing owners to focus on what they do best. Apart from leading his own agency, Chris hosts a private mastermind for creative agency owners looking to scale and optimize their businesses. 

    Welcome Chris.

    Chris Williams:

    Thanks, Virginia. Super excited to be here.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I'm excited for you today. I'm excited to talk to you about all of the things that you have done.

    Chris Williams:

    I don't know. It might be boring.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Well, time will tell, I guess I'm sure you have a few good stories up your sleeve.

    Chris Williams:

    Yeah. How can I help anything I can do to help your audience? I'm all in. Let's talk.

    Virginia Purnell:

    What was it like growing up?

    Chris Williams:

    Wow, that's a deep question. And I think this is part of the entrepreneur journey too. So growing up for me, I had a very disciplined family, but a very abusive family. That's that's a deep dive right there, but I, I think, and I, in fact, I know now after years of therapy and, and tons of time spent healing, I know that that part of the hardness of, of growing up and figuring that out and learning to is actually, what's made me really good at some of the things I do professionally, because it's a lot of problem solving a lot of risk management, a lot of those things that you don't want kids to have to deal with, but those traits when they can kind of be turned into a positive thing as an adult can become really positive. So that's a fun question to start with because it's deep, but it's also like, yeah, you know, it was a very disciplined life, but a very hard life. And, and that's, that's part of who I am, right? It's that's life. We gotta, we gotta heal and we gotta grow and we gotta use those things to our advantage.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Yes, we each have our own story and it's important. And part of who we are. What inspired you to become an entrepreneur?

    Chris Williams:

    You know, when I was 11, I, I wanted to cut grass and I realized I could make, you know, 20 bucks a yard. And that was better than anything else I could think of doing to make money. And I would want to buy stuff at the local pet store. I was really into fish aquariums and frogs and turtles and anything like that. So I traded my next door neighbor for a lawnmower. So they had a lawnmower and they hated cutting the grass. So I was like, Hey, if I can have your lawn mower, like, and keep it at my house all summer, I will cut your grass for free all summer. And then at the end of the summer, the lawnmower is paid off. It becomes my property. So I did that. And all of a sudden I was able to like, have a lawnmower, have some equipment that I got five more yards that summer. Cause I had tools now. And then I hired someone, I was 14, so I hired someone to drive me around eventually, cause we couldn't drive at yards that I went elsewhere. And I started learning about people and systems and selling like at a young age when I was 11, I started out and that launched everything for me because it gave me a taste of what could happen with hard work and with structure and with people helping me,

    Virginia Purnell:

    That's really inspirational. And it's kind of fun. Like I can like see you out there, like trying to convince someone to, to drive you all around.

    Chris Williams:

    I had a 30 year old woman driving me around. So funny. And then I would go spend all of my money at the pet store every day. I'd go back to the pet store and just blow it all and then go back and cut grass.

    Virginia Purnell:

    At least you had motivation, right?

    Chris Williams:

    Yup.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So what are some of the common mistakes that you see business owners making?

    Chris Williams:

    You know, I think the most common mistake we all make me included over and over and over again is me. I am almost always the problem in my own business. I think for a while, Oh, it's the person I hired or it's the economy or it's, whatever's coming up in the news or it's the holidays and I'm not getting any sale, whatever, that's, that's all a bunch of bull. What's true. Is that in my own head and in my own heart, I have to decide number one, am I going to go freaking get the work done and do what I need to do, not be busy, but am I going to do the right things? And number two, am I going to stop doing the things I don't need to do? Which typically is 90% of the problem. Just not becoming the roadblock, not becoming the thing that's in the way of my myself or my family or my clients or my, my team succeeding. It's almost always me. That's the biggest hassle of being an entrepreneur is being me.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Do you have any tips on how to get out of your own way?

    Chris Williams:

    Yeah. Yes I do. So I am always in, I have been, I've been doing this for probably 15 years now. I'm always involved with the coach or a therapist or a mentor or a mastermind group or people that I respect that are actually structurally allowed to speak into my life. So there's lots of categories you just mentioned there, but spouse or partner doesn't cut it, right? Cause they're kind of either too hard or too soft on you depending on the day and how the kids are acting and all that stuff. It's somebody from the outside who can look in at me and say, Hey, love what you're doing, but I'm noticing some trends here. And I think if you just kind of cleaned this up or took advantage of this or stopped doing this, you could really overcome something here. Where, they're in a place where they can really help me. So sometimes that's been a therapist right from healing, from stuff in my background. Sometimes that's been a coach that I've hired for very specific reasons to help me get through something challenging in business. Sometimes it's been mastermind style groups where I could actually hang out with other people like me that were at my same level, and learn together.

    Those things have been super, super impactful and really helps me grow because they've been honest and they've been pointed exactly where I need to go. And I'm going to say one more thing about the coaching side of that. 

    Anybody listening, I would only hire a coach or a mentor, or going to hire someone or buy into a mastermind or whatever. There's tons of them out there. Lots of really good, what you want to do. Aright. If they just sell how to do it, that's very different. And it's weak compared to someone who's actually done what you want to do and is still doing it, and has, has that kind of proof. That's a really important thing. Otherwise I hear a lot of sad stories of people wasting money with coaches or mentors or whatever that they shouldn't be. Shouldn't they, they shouldn't be selling. They shouldn't be on the market, you know, so find somebody who can help you and get help.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thank you. What's the best advice you've ever received.

    Chris Williams:

    Oh wow. Best advice I've ever received. I would say, is being honest with me and being honest with the people around me, honest, and kind. I think those two things: be honest and be kind. The golden rule: do unto others as you'd have them do unto you, is so important. That's kindness. And that honesty that comes with it is just not, not beating around the bush with what's right or wrong for you or others, but standing up and being brave and knowing what you need and know how to say it.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Sometimes it's hard being honest with yourself. So I like that one. What's the best advice you've ever given?

    Chris Williams:

    Hmm. Wow. I wish I was one of the people who could just roll out quotes constantly and they're like, Oh my gosh, I'm gonna write that down. I would say the best advice I've ever given is probably the stuff we tell our kids, which is to be honest, and to be kind and to love and be active in their communities and to understand who they are internally, spiritually, their faith, their personality, their own head and heart, their skill sets, those kind of internal things. So, knowing who they are as people, and I would say anybody who's listening, same thing, knowing who, you know, who you are and ground yourself. And then be honest about that and be kind as you're, as you're honest, and as you invest in your community, that that's the stuff that makes us enjoy our next door neighbor when they're that way or our fellow family member or anybody else we hanging out with that's, that's the kind of person I want to be. And I think if we're that kind of person as individuals, we're going to make fantastic people as business leaders, we're going to make fantastic community leaders, parents, you know, partners, whatever we are in life. And so many hats we wear. Yeah.

    That's the foundation.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I liked that I had to talk with my son about that this morning. He can't just act this certain way right now and then expect to be a completely different person when he gets bigger. He's laying that foundation.

    Chris Williams:

    Hmm. Good advice.

    Virginia Purnell:

    What are some of your goals that you wish to achieve with your company in the next couple of years?

    Chris Williams:

    Good question. I have two companies, Virginia, you know this. 

    But for those listening, I have a creative and digital agency that works with surgeons and super niche specialties and very unique communities around the United States. So that business is growing and scaling and I work less than 30 minutes a day in that business. I love running a business that grows well and has high profit margins, and that doesn't require the owners work. That's, that's just my thing in entrepreneurship. I love that. 

    I also have an agency that teaches that process to other digital and creative agency owners. So they can do the same thing. We have a mastermind that we teach. We have online training, we have tons of free material in the Facebook group. 

    We have all those different things but my goals surround those two things because I love building profit margins. And I love figuring out how far I can separate money in time.

    So making a lot of money in a very small amount of time. And that's not because I'm lazy and it's not because I need more money at this stage. It's because I like the machine. I'm not a car mechanic. I've never been a car guy, but if I was, it would be, that's the kind of machine I like to work on. I like working on machines that are business and systems and people oriented. I like building other people. So, my goals all revolve around financial goals and I measure all my financial goals by a month or by a quarter. And then the time goals that are associated with that, just separating out money as far away from time as possible. Getting those two things stretched out as far as you can. I just wanna see how far I can take that.

    Virginia Purnell:

    That sounds like a fun goal that I want, that I want to incorporate too. Do you think there's any roadblocks that are stopping you from getting that stretched out as far as you want to get it?

    Chris Williams:

    Oh yeah, absolutely. It comes back to me again. And even though I'm good at and practiced at systems and people that helped me, I still am constantly trimming things that I need to stop doing that I know I can train and delegate this thing out, which would free up time to either be more free or go find the next more productive thing I should be doing based on my unique skills and abilities. So there's lots of people in our world around us who can help us do the things we do really well. And for me, my roadblock is consistently like literally weekly. I check back in on how I did that week. I look at what I should have done and I think are all these things on my calendar. I'm looking at my calendar on my screen right now, all these things in my calendar, the things that were really the best use of my time, or could I find someone else who could do these? And almost always, I can find someone who can do them. And then if I can't afford that person because of whatever the profit margins are on my product or service, I forgot a way to sell those products or services at a higher profit margin to a slightly different niche. And, and that way I can incorporate someone in to let them do that work. So I can go to the next step.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I like that. Being able to, and it's because lots of people do self-evaluation but they do it in longer intervals. Let's say where you're talking about doing it weekly.

    Chris Williams:

    Yeah. Yeah. In fact, to go a step farther in that I don't think through years, like a 12 month year anymore. I think through my year, the way I function as a business person and as a regular guy in my family, our year revolves around 90 days. 

    So every quarter is a year in our, in my, my mentality. And so every week in that quarter is like a month there's 12 full weeks in every quarter of the year. There's that little odd couple of days at the end that we do a bunch of planning and looking back in our business. But those 12 weeks are what are now my month. So every week I consider it, like I just burnt an entire month of my year, every week. Is that big a deal? I want to make every freaking one of them amazing. And I want to crush it again the next time. So I really want to make sure I do it right every day.

    Virginia Purnell:

    You must really love birthdays.

    Chris Williams:

    I get to have 4 birthdays a year now.

    Virginia Purnell:

    What's working for you guys to attract more business.

    Chris Williams:

    Ah, yeah. So two things that are really, really, I don't know, maybe I have to go into four things that are really crushing it right now. Cause there's really four things. 

    We're really, really good at getting referrals. So I follow a really structured referral script that I learned, oh, year's ago from a guy named Wayne Cotton. Anyway, I love that referral script. We use it all the time in our agency. We sell high ticket and we get referred to very specific people in our market. And that's been really, really cool. So love getting referrals, do it in a structured way if you're going to referrals, follow a script, ask intentional questions about who you want to work with. Be surprised how many people you can meet and work with that way. They're the warmest best clients ever. That's in our creative agency that works with surgeons. 

    In our elite agency that works with other creative and digital agency owners, we do a lot of free content in our Facebook group and that's been really wonderful. It brings a lot of people in our community and we also have webinar type structure. 

    We have courses online that all feed in from some paid traffic that comes into those products. That works really well if you're dialing on your message, but again, on any of that stuff, you have to know how to sell it organically. 

    And ideally build a referral before you can do well on anything ads. If you're running paid ads, if anybody's listening, running paid ads, you have to figure out the organic human connection before you can replicate that in a paid ad. Otherwise you just spend a bunch of money on Facebook or Google and you wish you hadn't. 

    And then the third thing is Instagram right now, Instagram is doing really well for us. We do a lot of teaching and training and education and ideas on Instagram. And that's really fun. It's a great place to meet people and the people who want to engage with us more, step up and do that. That's been really cool.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thanks for sharing. So, is there anything that you would like to share that I haven't asked you yet?

    Chris Williams:

    You know, I think the next thing I would want to say is for anybody listening in right now, use Virginia as an amazing example of someone who's leading in what she's doing and she's creating content. She's creating, not just content that are her own ideas, because it's so easy for us to all talk about ourselves, but she's actually pulling content from lots of other resources like me and so many others. I'm not the best speaker she has in this podcast by any means, she's got amazing people. The thing that she's doing though, is she's sharing and building a space for people to learn and grow. And that's critical if you're going to hire anybody to do any kind of work for you, hire people who are leaders like Virginia, because it allows space in your own agency, your own model to really bring another leader in, not just a doer. Okay?

    So it's great to have people who just get the job done, but when you have somebody get the job done, who's actually an influencer and a leader. And has that mindset to be forward thinking and building, they're going to build into your team. They're going to build into your clients. There's going to be so much building and value there that you just can't, you can't get by just hiring out a job. It's important to find a leader who actually wants to impact the world and that will impact your business and your clients in a really special way. So that honestly, Virginia, you don't even know I was going to be going that path, but that's, that is the truth about what you're doing. It's the truth about who you are as a person. And so that's what I would, that's what I'd want to say. If there's anything else I could say, that's it.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Virginia Purnell:

    Welcome to Entrepreneur Conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online.

He has helped creative agencies build wealth and agency owners develop innovative winning strategies. His expertise includes lead generation creative team building and allowing owners to focus on what they do best.

    Welcome Chris.

    Chris Williams:

    Thanks, Virginia. Super excited to be here.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I'm excited for you today. I'm excited to talk to you about all of the things that you have done.

    Chris Williams:

    I don't know. It might be boring.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Well, time will tell, I guess I'm sure you have a few good stories up your sleeve.

    Chris Williams:

    Yeah. How can I help anything I can do to help your audience? I'm all in. Let's talk.

    Virginia Purnell:

    What was it like growing up?

    Chris Williams:

    Wow, that's a deep question. And I think this is part of the entrepreneur journey too. So growing up for me, I had a very disciplined family, but a very abusive family. That's that's a deep dive right there, but I, I think, and I, in fact, I know now after years of therapy and, and tons of time spent healing, I know that that part of the hardness of, of growing up and figuring that out and learning to is actually, what's made me really good at some of the things I do professionally, because it's a lot of problem solving a lot of risk management, a lot of those things that you don't want kids to have to deal with, but those traits when they can kind of be turned into a positive thing as an adult can become really positive. So that's a fun question to start with because it's deep, but it's also like, yeah, you know, it was a very disciplined life, but a very hard life. And, and that's, that's part of who I am, right? It's that's life. We gotta, we gotta heal and we gotta grow and we gotta use those things to our advantage.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Yes, we each have our own story and it's important. And part of who we are. What inspired you to become an entrepreneur?

    Chris Williams:

    You know, when I was 11, I, I wanted to cut grass and I realized I could make, you know, 20 bucks a yard. And that was better than anything else I could think of doing to make money. And I would want to buy stuff at the local pet store. I was really into fish aquariums and frogs and turtles and anything like that. So I traded my next door neighbor for a lawnmower. So they had a lawnmower and they hated cutting the grass. So I was like, Hey, if I can have your lawn mower, like, and keep it at my house all summer, I will cut your grass for free all summer. And then at the end of the summer, the lawnmower is paid off. It becomes my property. So I did that. And all of a sudden I was able to like, have a lawnmower, have some equipment that I got five more yards that summer. Cause I had tools now. And then I hired someone, I was 14, so I hired someone to drive me around eventually, cause we couldn't drive at yards that I went elsewhere. And I started learning about people and systems and selling like at a young age when I was 11, I started out and that launched everything for me because it gave me a taste of what could happen with hard work and with structure and with people helping me,

    Virginia Purnell:

    That's really inspirational. And it's kind of fun. Like I can like see you out there, like trying to convince someone to, to drive you all around.

    Chris Williams:

    I had a 30 year old woman driving me around. So funny. And then I would go spend all of my money at the pet store every day. I'd go back to the pet store and just blow it all and then go back and cut grass.

    Virginia Purnell:

    At least you had motivation, right?

    Chris Williams:

    Yup.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So what are some of the common mistakes that you see business owners making?

    Chris Williams:

    You know, I think the most common mistake we all make me included over and over and over again is me. I am almost always the problem in my own business. I think for a while, Oh, it's the person I hired or it's the economy or it's, whatever's coming up in the news or it's the holidays and I'm not getting any sale, whatever, that's, that's all a bunch of bull. What's true. Is that in my own head and in my own heart, I have to decide number one, am I going to go freaking get the work done and do what I need to do, not be busy, but am I going to do the right things? And number two, am I going to stop doing the things I don't need to do? Which typically is 90% of the problem. Just not becoming the roadblock, not becoming the thing that's in the way of my myself or my family or my clients or my, my team succeeding. It's almost always me. That's the biggest hassle of being an entrepreneur is being me.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Do you have any tips on how to get out of your own way?

    Chris Williams:

    Yeah. Yes I do. So I am always in, I have been, I've been doing this for probably 15 years now. I'm always involved with the coach or a therapist or a mentor or a mastermind group or people that I respect that are actually structurally allowed to speak into my life. So there's lots of categories you just mentioned there, but spouse or partner doesn't cut it, right? Cause they're kind of either too hard or too soft on you depending on the day and how the kids are acting and all that stuff. It's somebody from the outside who can look in at me and say, Hey, love what you're doing, but I'm noticing some trends here. And I think if you just kind of cleaned this up or took advantage of this or stopped doing this, you could really overcome something here. Where, they're in a place where they can really help me. So sometimes that's been a therapist right from healing, from stuff in my background. Sometimes that's been a coach that I've hired for very specific reasons to help me get through something challenging in business. Sometimes it's been mastermind style groups where I could actually hang out with other people like me that were at my same level, and learn together.

    Those things have been super, super impactful and really helps me grow because they've been honest and they've been pointed exactly where I need to go. And I'm going to say one more thing about the coaching side of that. 

    Anybody listening, I would only hire a coach or a mentor, or going to hire someone or buy into a mastermind or whatever. There's tons of them out there. Lots of really good, what you want to do. Aright. If they just sell how to do it, that's very different. And it's weak compared to someone who's actually done what you want to do and is still doing it, and has, has that kind of proof. That's a really important thing. Otherwise I hear a lot of sad stories of people wasting money with coaches or mentors or whatever that they shouldn't be. Shouldn't they, they shouldn't be selling. They shouldn't be on the market, you know, so find somebody who can help you and get help.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thank you. What's the best advice you've ever received.

    Chris Williams:

    Oh wow. Best advice I've ever received. I would say, is being honest with me and being honest with the people around me, honest, and kind. I think those two things: be honest and be kind. The golden rule: do unto others as you'd have them do unto you, is so important. That's kindness. And that honesty that comes with it is just not, not beating around the bush with what's right or wrong for you or others, but standing up and being brave and knowing what you need and know how to say it.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Sometimes it's hard being honest with yourself. So I like that one. What's the best advice you've ever given?

    Chris Williams:

    Hmm. Wow. I wish I was one of the people who could just roll out quotes constantly and they're like, Oh my gosh, I'm gonna write that down. I would say the best advice I've ever given is probably the stuff we tell our kids, which is to be honest, and to be kind and to love and be active in their communities and to understand who they are internally, spiritually, their faith, their personality, their own head and heart, their skill sets, those kind of internal things. So, knowing who they are as people, and I would say anybody who's listening, same thing, knowing who, you know, who you are and ground yourself. And then be honest about that and be kind as you're, as you're honest, and as you invest in your community, that that's the stuff that makes us enjoy our next door neighbor when they're that way or our fellow family member or anybody else we hanging out with that's, that's the kind of person I want to be. And I think if we're that kind of person as individuals, we're going to make fantastic people as business leaders, we're going to make fantastic community leaders, parents, you know, partners, whatever we are in life. And so many hats we wear. Yeah.

    That's the foundation.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I liked that I had to talk with my son about that this morning. He can't just act this certain way right now and then expect to be a completely different person when he gets bigger. He's laying that foundation.

    Chris Williams:

    Hmm. Good advice.

    Virginia Purnell:

    What are some of your goals that you wish to achieve with your company in the next couple of years?

    Chris Williams:

    Good question. I have two companies, Virginia, you know this. 

    But for those listening, I have a creative and digital agency that works with surgeons and super niche specialties and very unique communities around the United States. So that business is growing and scaling and I work less than 30 minutes a day in that business. I love running a business that grows well and has high profit margins, and that doesn't require the owners work. That's, that's just my thing in entrepreneurship. I love that. 

    I also have an agency that teaches that process to other digital and creative agency owners. So they can do the same thing. We have a mastermind that we teach. We have online training, we have tons of free material in the Facebook group. 

    We have all those different things but my goals surround those two things because I love building profit margins. And I love figuring out how far I can separate money in time.

    So making a lot of money in a very small amount of time. And that's not because I'm lazy and it's not because I need more money at this stage. It's because I like the machine. I'm not a car mechanic. I've never been a car guy, but if I was, it would be, that's the kind of machine I like to work on. I like working on machines that are business and systems and people oriented. I like building other people. So, my goals all revolve around financial goals and I measure all my financial goals by a month or by a quarter. And then the time goals that are associated with that, just separating out money as far away from time as possible. Getting those two things stretched out as far as you can. I just wanna see how far I can take that.

    Virginia Purnell:

    That sounds like a fun goal that I want, that I want to incorporate too. Do you think there's any roadblocks that are stopping you from getting that stretched out as far as you want to get it?

    Chris Williams:

    Oh yeah, absolutely. It comes back to me again. And even though I'm good at and practiced at systems and people that helped me, I still am constantly trimming things that I need to stop doing that I know I can train and delegate this thing out, which would free up time to either be more free or go find the next more productive thing I should be doing based on my unique skills and abilities. So there's lots of people in our world around us who can help us do the things we do really well. And for me, my roadblock is consistently like literally weekly. I check back in on how I did that week. I look at what I should have done and I think are all these things on my calendar. I'm looking at my calendar on my screen right now, all these things in my calendar, the things that were really the best use of my time, or could I find someone else who could do these? And almost always, I can find someone who can do them. And then if I can't afford that person because of whatever the profit margins are on my product or service, I forgot a way to sell those products or services at a higher profit margin to a slightly different niche. And, and that way I can incorporate someone in to let them do that work. So I can go to the next step.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I like that. Being able to, and it's because lots of people do self-evaluation but they do it in longer intervals. Let's say where you're talking about doing it weekly.

    Chris Williams:

    Yeah. Yeah. In fact, to go a step farther in that I don't think through years, like a 12 month year anymore. I think through my year, the way I function as a business person and as a regular guy in my family, our year revolves around 90 days. 

    So every quarter is a year in our, in my, my mentality. And so every week in that quarter is like a month there's 12 full weeks in every quarter of the year. There's that little odd couple of days at the end that we do a bunch of planning and looking back in our business. But those 12 weeks are what are now my month. So every week I consider it, like I just burnt an entire month of my year, every week. Is that big a deal? I want to make every freaking one of them amazing. And I want to crush it again the next time. So I really want to make sure I do it right every day.

    Virginia Purnell:

    You must really love birthdays.

    Chris Williams:

    I get to have 4 birthdays a year now.

    Virginia Purnell:

    What's working for you guys to attract more business.

    Chris Williams:

    Ah, yeah. So two things that are really, really, I don't know, maybe I have to go into four things that are really crushing it right now. Cause there's really four things. 

    We're really, really good at getting referrals. So I follow a really structured referral script that I learned, oh, year's ago from a guy named Wayne Cotton. Anyway, I love that referral script. We use it all the time in our agency. We sell high ticket and we get referred to very specific people in our market. And that's been really, really cool. So love getting referrals, do it in a structured way if you're going to referrals, follow a script, ask intentional questions about who you want to work with. Be surprised how many people you can meet and work with that way. They're the warmest best clients ever. That's in our creative agency that works with surgeons. 

    In our elite agency that works with other creative and digital agency owners, we do a lot of free content in our Facebook group and that's been really wonderful. It brings a lot of people in our community and we also have webinar type structure. 

    We have courses online that all feed in from some paid traffic that comes into those products. That works really well if you're dialing on your message, but again, on any of that stuff, you have to know how to sell it organically. 

    And ideally build a referral before you can do well on anything ads. If you're running paid ads, if anybody's listening, running paid ads, you have to figure out the organic human connection before you can replicate that in a paid ad. Otherwise you just spend a bunch of money on Facebook or Google and you wish you hadn't. 

    And then the third thing is Instagram right now, Instagram is doing really well for us. We do a lot of teaching and training and education and ideas on Instagram. And that's really fun. It's a great place to meet people and the people who want to engage with us more, step up and do that. That's been really cool.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thanks for sharing. So, is there anything that you would like to share that I haven't asked you yet?

    Chris Williams:

    You know, I think the next thing I would want to say is for anybody listening in right now, use Virginia as an amazing example of someone who's leading in what she's doing and she's creating content. She's creating, not just content that are her own ideas, because it's so easy for us to all talk about ourselves, but she's actually pulling content from lots of other resources like me and so many others. I'm not the best speaker she has in this podcast by any means, she's got amazing people. The thing that she's doing though, is she's sharing and building a space for people to learn and grow. And that's critical if you're going to hire anybody to do any kind of work for you, hire people who are leaders like Virginia, because it allows space in your own agency, your own model to really bring another leader in, not just a doer. Okay?

    So it's great to have people who just get the job done, but when you have somebody get the job done, who's actually an influencer and a leader. And has that mindset to be forward thinking and building, they're going to build into your team. They're going to build into your clients. There's going to be so much building and value there that you just can't, you can't get by just hiring out a job. It's important to find a leader who actually wants to impact the world and that will impact your business and your clients in a really special way. So that honestly, Virginia, you don't even know I was going to be going that path, but that's, that is the truth about what you're doing. It's the truth about who you are as a person. And so that's what I would, that's what I'd want to say. If there's anything else I could say, that's it.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Well, thank you very much. How can people find out more about you and what you do?

    Chris Williams:

    Virginia Purnell:

    Welcome to Entrepreneur Conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online. 

    Hi everyone. Today I'm talking with Olga Fomenko. 

    Olga grew up watching her father build businesses in post Soviet Russia where free enterprise was not even a thing. She inherited his free spirit and started her first business at the age of 17. After moving to the US and working hard on other people's businesses for years, she got a taste of the American dream, decided to become a full time entrepreneur and never looked back. Through highs and lows, she built herself from ground up in the online business space and now is helping others to do the same. Today Olga is an integrator and an online business manager for high net worth business owners. She is passionate about working with virtual teams, building systems that allow business owners to have the life they dream of and all things marketing. Olga is continuously learning and growing and believes that your network equals your net worth. That's why she enjoys being a part of the number of amazing communities of entrepreneurs and business owners. And that is actually how we met and got to know each other a few months back. 

    Welcome, Olga.

    Olga Fomenko:

    Hey Virginia. Thanks for having me.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thank you for joining us today.

    Olga Fomenko:

    My pleasure.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So what was it that inspired you to become an entrepreneur?

    Olga Fomenko:

    I don't know if you get inspired to become an entrepreneur or you're born to be an entrepreneur, but I usually say that my story has started with watching a movie and reading a book. I watched the movie The Secret. And then a few months later I read the book by Kim Kiyosaki and she's the wife of Robert Kiyosaki. Her book was the Rich Woman and that's where I learned about, Rich Dad, Poor Dad book. And that's how it all started for me. I mean, that's how I started to pursue the career of an entrepreneur on a full time basis. But I think I was an entrepreneur all my life because I always tried to do something. I always try to start a business. I always try to find opportunities to make extra money and do all kinds of stuff.

    Virginia Purnell:

    What do you like most about the work that you're doing?

    Olga Fomenko:

    Well, my favorite part of working with other business owners is that I get to really be a part of something bigger. I get to be part of different visions and help other people, other entrepreneurs to achieve their greater goals and greater dreams. And through that I get to learn different things. I get to learn different things. It's not like unlike taking a course on how to launch a podcast or how to launch your book, I actually get to do that with my clients. And that is what's really, really exciting for me.

    Virginia Purnell:

    It must be fulfilling to be able to see the business owners reach their dreams and to reach their goals and knowing that you were able to help them get there.

    Olga Fomenko:

    Yes, absolutely. That's my favorite part.

    Virginia Purnell:

    What are some common mistakes that you see your customers or clients making?

    Olga Fomenko:

    Well, you know, we will make mistakes as we're building businesses. Like one of my mentors likes to say, "your business is broken, if you do things right, it always will be.' The mistakes are the parts of the process. And part of the progress. I deal with digital marketing, team building, systems building and in the businesses. So many mistakes that I get to, I would say maybe challenges that I get to solve are around those topics. You know, like people don't hire the right way. They rush into the hiring process, get somebody on board just to get them just because they need help as soon as possible. They don't think through that process. Some people try to rush through launches, not thinking that through, not assessing all of the you know, pros and cons, all of the certain strategies that they pick and that may result and the difficulties or you know, lower results then they expect. So I hope that answers your question a little bit.

    Virginia Purnell:

    It does. Thank you. I like what you said about like mistakes isn't the like a bad part cause it's like what Thomas Edison said, he's like, I didn't do a hundred wrong things to get to or make a hundred mistakes to get to the light bulb, or a thousand, he's like, I learned like it was a thousand step process to get there. And I'm totally butchering that quote, but it was something to that effect. Like it, it didn't, he didn't do everything wrong. It just took him the process to get there, to know what not to do.

    Olga Fomenko:

    For sure. Yeah.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So we kind of talked about you helping your clients reach their dreams and their goals. What are some of your big goals that you're looking to achieve over the next one to two years?

    Olga Fomenko:

    Oh, my goal is actually to keep building my agency and keep helping the business rockstars to create jobs and build the new economy. You know, like today's, this is going to be the most important saying for the country and for the world is to build new businesses, create new jobs, create new opportunities. And through my skills, I'm seeing an opportunity to be a part of that. And actually you know, take on more businesses where I can come in and help to create those opportunities and help to grow the bottom line of the businesses so they can afford to bring on new team members so they can afford to scale and you know, and become bigger, better, stronger for the good of the society and for the for the good of the new economy of that we're going to be building in the next two years.

    Virginia Purnell:

    It's crazy how everything has shifted kind of all of a sudden, hey?

    Olga Fomenko:

    I didn't know. It's kind of all of a sudden because I have been in entrepreneurship full time for 10 years now and I got started a little after 2008, and when 2008 recession was happening, I was not aware of what is going on besides that I moved to California and I couldn't find a job and I couldn't understand what's going on. But once I started to study this and I started to read the books of Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump and you know, all of the real estate guys, I started to get into the understanding that the market goes through the cycles, real estate markets, stock market, all of that goes through the cycles and sooner or later we're going to have a recession again, like sooner or later the market is going to fall and we're going to see that again. And for the last three, four years experts, financial experts, have been saying that the recession is inevitable.

    We don't know how it's going to happen, but we know it will. So that's why you always want to be preparing because even when we're out, like I know that officially we're not in the recession yet because this crisis is not finished, but once the crisis is finished, we're going to go into recession and there will be time to rebuild and overcome that and brands where you're going to go on the top of a mountain for a little time for a little, you know, period of time and sooner or later another session is going to hit. It's the cycles, the normal cycles of life, like humans are always, even in crisis, the planet always lives in crisis. There's always all of these different crises happening around us, so it's all a matter of being prepared for them and knowing that the next crisis is coming and just make sure that you are built for it. You're built for it emotionally. You're built for it financially and educate yourself about what has happened in previous crises and crises, right? They've been happening all the time. So if you're educating yourself about what has been happening, that it's going to be easier for you to pivot and the new crisis and understand where things go and how you can not just survive it, but actually thrive in the next crisis that is inevitable. Just like this one was.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thanks for that reminder, about like everything has its cycle and yeah, it was, it is inevitable. Like it's going to come. And just to get ourselves in a position, like you said, like whether it's mentally, emotionally, financially, like just get, get ourselves in that position and be aware and be prepared.

    Olga Fomenko:

    Yeah.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So, what's a big roadblock that is stopping you from achieving your goal of growing your agency?

    Olga Fomenko:

    Don't think anything is stopping me right now I am actually feeling in the momentum. I feel terrible for people that are out of momentum and are experiencing all of the challenges and difficulties that came with this crisis. But to me personally, it's been a blessing because what I do is actually needed in the online and the digital world. So I had more requests for help than normal. And I have actually been working on my personal mindset and have been doing a lot of inner work to prepare myself to help all of those people that are requesting our help because nothing is stopping me from achieving my goals. But it doesn't mean that it can't change. And the matter of you know, a few moments because it's, it's really, it's truly inside of you the confidence that you can go through certain challenges and you can help other people. So working on myself has become my main focus for the last few months so I can build my confidence to the level that I can help other people. And you know, like Zig Ziglar, used to say that if you help enough people to get what they want to, you can have what you want. So that is my mantra. I want to help as many people as possible and through that I will get the reaches that I am dreaming of and I have no doubt this is how it works.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I totally agree with you. It's amazing how like when you focus on others and on helping others, that you get what you need or you get the help that you need. Like it doesn't matter whether you're low, you're low, just like emotionally or something like that and you're helping others and then you, you feel better. And it's fun how it works that way too in the business world.

    Olga Fomenko:

    Yeah. I've seen that over and over again that, you know, we don't want to,and I don't know, like maybe there are people that think differently, but to me it's really important that people that I work with, my mentors, my support group, my coaches, even my clients, that they are confident, they know they can help their audience, they know they can help their clients because if they're not confident about what they're doing, then it's very, very hard to believe them. You know? Like if you don't believe in yourself, then how can your clients believe in you? I, I think that inner work is the most important work that we have to be focused on all of us. It doesn't matter what industry you're in, what you're doing. I think it's the most important thing.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I agree. Cause it's like, yeah, like, like you had said before, like if you're not confident in yourself, others around you are going to see it and that's not gonna help you get what you want in essence, right? You're just going to repel the people. 

    So you've talked about inner work and attracting the companies. Is that the only thing that you do is kind of their law of attraction aspect or is there more that you do to attract or for marketing your business and for getting new clients?

    Olga Fomenko:

    Well, you know, up until this point for the last nine years, my business was mostly word of mouth. But actually in the last few months I have been working on the revampion of my market and systems and ready to do some lead generation. So I'm an expert at digital marketing, right? So I know what to, how to help clients to create lead generation systems. And it's interesting that I barely had to do it for myself. So now I'm actually revamping my marketing and looking into it from the perspective of let me do for me what I do for my clients and put in some systems in place for organic marketing, put in some systems in place for paid marketing and working on also some information products that will be ready beginning of next year. It's a large project so I'm not really talking about it quite yet, but that that is something that I'm preparing for early on, if that makes sense.

    Virginia Purnell:

    It does. Thank you. Is there something that you would like to share that I haven't asked you?

    Olga Fomenko:

    Well, you know, it depends on who you are, where you are in your life and your business, which your aspirations are. I know that a lot of people are going to have to pivot. A lot of people are going to have to make drastic changes and what they're doing regardless if they had a job or had a business, or were in school, it really doesn't matter where you were, things are going to be different. I keep saying that we are going to be building the new economy. The economy that existed up until February 2020 is not coming back. We're going to build a new normal. And you know, I heard this from one of the doctors actually listening to, you know, one of those coronavirus videos. And his doctor said a really, really great thing that I love. He said that, I really hope that you don't go to that old normal where we were all locked in our shells, on our screens.

    You know, like thinking about our jobs and not thinking about our families and our environment. And you know, like this lockdown was a good thing for many, many, many people because they got to spend more time with their families. They got to go hiking, they got to journal, they got to sing and dance. And you know, like while I'm sure many, many people struggled, I also hear a lot of great stories of how people could reconnect with themselves and the planet. My favorite favorite book of all times is the Little Prince and you know, and the Little Prince, there was this really cool moment when his dad said that, if every person would sweep their front porch, our planet would be such a better place. So I believe that if we'll do the in our work and we will think about people that are around us and the planet that this beautiful organism that we were a part of and we just reconnect with one another and create the new world, the new normal, the new economy, the new possibility is I think we totally have a chance to do that as a humanity. And I want to believe that this is why we as humanity were given this challenge so we can actually create something better than we used to have. So that's what I got to say.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Such great words of wisdom. I hope that we don't go back to "normal" either and that we do look out for one another more. And we do value, let's say the little things more and our family. Not saying that our families are little things, but just not everything is behind a screen and not everything is so self absorbing, I guess.

    Olga Fomenko:

    Yeah. Definitely.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Where can people find out more about you and what you do?

    Olga Fomenko:

    Well, I am on Facebook. I am on LinkedIn. My site, my blog site is under redevelopment right now, but it's OlgaFomenko.com. And I'm actually sharing a lot of ideas about business building, marketing, social media, team building and personal development, which as you probably know, it's for clarity and my favorite topic. So I pass to do this and I promote personal development all day, every day, every chance I get because that's what changed my life and I think it's an opportunity to change a lot of other people's lives. So that's what I love talking about.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Great. Thank you so much, Olga, for coming and joining us today.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Welcome to Entrepreneur Conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online. 

    Hi everyone. Today I'm talking with Olga Fomenko. 

    Olga grew up watching her father build businesses in post Soviet Russia where free enterprise was not even a thing. She inherited his free spirit and started her first business at the age of 17. After moving to the US and working hard on other people's businesses for years, she got a taste of the American dream, decided to become a full time entrepreneur and never looked back. Through highs and lows, she built herself from ground up in the online business space and now is helping others to do the same. Today Olga is an integrator and an online business manager for high net worth business owners. She is passionate about working with virtual teams, building systems that allow business owners to have the life they dream of and all things marketing. Olga is continuously learning and growing and believes that your network equals your net worth. That's why she enjoys being a part of the number of amazing communities of entrepreneurs and business owners. And that is actually how we met and got to know each other a few months back. 

    Welcome, Olga.

    Olga Fomenko:

    Hey Virginia. Thanks for having me.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thank you for joining us today.

    Olga Fomenko:

    My pleasure.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So what was it that inspired you to become an entrepreneur?

    Olga Fomenko:

    I don't know if you get inspired to become an entrepreneur or you're born to be an entrepreneur, but I usually say that my story has started with watching a movie and reading a book. I watched the movie The Secret. And then a few months later I read the book by Kim Kiyosaki and she's the wife of Robert Kiyosaki. Her book was the Rich Woman and that's where I learned about, Rich Dad, Poor Dad book. And that's how it all started for me. I mean, that's how I started to pursue the career of an entrepreneur on a full time basis. But I think I was an entrepreneur all my life because I always tried to do something. I always try to start a business. I always try to find opportunities to make extra money and do all kinds of stuff.

    Virginia Purnell:

    What do you like most about the work that you're doing?

    Olga Fomenko:

    Well, my favorite part of working with other business owners is that I get to really be a part of something bigger. I get to be part of different visions and help other people, other entrepreneurs to achieve their greater goals and greater dreams. And through that I get to learn different things. I get to learn different things. It's not like unlike taking a course on how to launch a podcast or how to launch your book, I actually get to do that with my clients. And that is what's really, really exciting for me.

    Virginia Purnell:

    It must be fulfilling to be able to see the business owners reach their dreams and to reach their goals and knowing that you were able to help them get there.

    Olga Fomenko:

    Yes, absolutely. That's my favorite part.

    Virginia Purnell:

    What are some common mistakes that you see your customers or clients making?

    Olga Fomenko:

    Well, you know, we will make mistakes as we're building businesses. Like one of my mentors likes to say, "your business is broken, if you do things right, it always will be.' The mistakes are the parts of the process. And part of the progress. I deal with digital marketing, team building, systems building and in the businesses. So many mistakes that I get to, I would say maybe challenges that I get to solve are around those topics. You know, like people don't hire the right way. They rush into the hiring process, get somebody on board just to get them just because they need help as soon as possible. They don't think through that process. Some people try to rush through launches, not thinking that through, not assessing all of the you know, pros and cons, all of the certain strategies that they pick and that may result and the difficulties or you know, lower results then they expect. So I hope that answers your question a little bit.

    Virginia Purnell:

    It does. Thank you. I like what you said about like mistakes isn't the like a bad part cause it's like what Thomas Edison said, he's like, I didn't do a hundred wrong things to get to or make a hundred mistakes to get to the light bulb, or a thousand, he's like, I learned like it was a thousand step process to get there. And I'm totally butchering that quote, but it was something to that effect. Like it, it didn't, he didn't do everything wrong. It just took him the process to get there, to know what not to do.

    Olga Fomenko:

    For sure. Yeah.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So we kind of talked about you helping your clients reach their dreams and their goals. What are some of your big goals that you're looking to achieve over the next one to two years?

    Olga Fomenko:

    Oh, my goal is actually to keep building my agency and keep helping the business rockstars to create jobs and build the new economy. You know, like today's, this is going to be the most important saying for the country and for the world is to build new businesses, create new jobs, create new opportunities. And through my skills, I'm seeing an opportunity to be a part of that. And actually you know, take on more businesses where I can come in and help to create those opportunities and help to grow the bottom line of the businesses so they can afford to bring on new team members so they can afford to scale and you know, and become bigger, better, stronger for the good of the society and for the for the good of the new economy of that we're going to be building in the next two years.

    Virginia Purnell:

    It's crazy how everything has shifted kind of all of a sudden, hey?

    Olga Fomenko:

    I didn't know. It's kind of all of a sudden because I have been in entrepreneurship full time for 10 years now and I got started a little after 2008, and when 2008 recession was happening, I was not aware of what is going on besides that I moved to California and I couldn't find a job and I couldn't understand what's going on. But once I started to study this and I started to read the books of Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump and you know, all of the real estate guys, I started to get into the understanding that the market goes through the cycles, real estate markets, stock market, all of that goes through the cycles and sooner or later we're going to have a recession again, like sooner or later the market is going to fall and we're going to see that again.

    We don't know how it's going to happen, but we know it will.

    Olga Fomenko:

    Yeah.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So, what's a big roadblock that is stopping you from achieving your goal of growing your agency?

    Welcome to EntrepreneurConundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online.

    Hi Everyone. 

    Today I'm talking with James Hurst about how he incorporates marketing automation in his business. James is a veteran online marketer starting on eBay in late 2000. He is the creator of multiple softwares including ClickFunnels Follow Up Pro, which is a ClickFunnels Affiliate software as well as a creator of Email Slurper 3000, he has created five online courses including make Power Wheels Faster and Build an AWS IOT button slack bot step by step. He is a ClickFunnels dream car winner and a respected affiliate for multiple other softwares. He and his wife Amanda, reside with their four boys in Springfield, Utah.

    Welcome James.

    James Hurst:

    Hey, thank you so much for having me.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thanks for being here today. 

    So tell us a little bit about yourself.

    James Hurst:

    Okay, so yeah, like the intro kind of said, I've been doing this for quite a while ever since. I've been selling things since on eBay. And then I got into, I've worked for an agency doing pay-per-click, been doing SEO, I had a local business, so I kind of always had some business going on in some computer aspect of it. You know, website, lead gen and since you can tell even already, I'm like a little bit all over the place. I've kind of settled in a little bit as an affiliate marketer, which is good because that means I can, you know, if I think something's really cool and interesting, I can go check it out, review it, you know, make a blog or make a video post about it and then I can go to the next thing and, and review that.

    And so I'm kind of realizing that yeah, I don't just have one, one particular niche, but I kind of just, I kind of enjoy, enjoy soaking, soaking up a little bit of everything, if that makes sense.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So, whatever catches your fancy the moment, right?

    James Hurst:

    Yeah.

    Virginia Purnell:

    What inspired you to become an affiliate marketer?

    James Hurst:

    Affiliate marketer? Well, one of the big, one of the bigger products that I promote is ClickFunnels. And just this idea of making a sale once and then getting paid for it multiple times on the backend. So a big shift you'll see in the industry is everyone wants to sell a subscription. Seems like whether it's Netflix or ClickFunnels or Active Campaign, most or even Adobe, the Adobe softwares, they're wanting to sell a subscription so they can have a recurring residual income model so they can probably forecast better and everything.

    And so I figured, Hey, if I'm going to, if I'm going to sell something, why not sell something that people will use, you know, month in and month out. And then if I truly put in enough work and build up a big enough base, then it really is something that I could, I could take, you know, two weeks a month off from work, quote unquote work and, and still have that revenue coming in. That seemed like a very, that's seemed like a very powerful model. Something worth investing. Your limited amount of time into it is doing the work once and getting paid for it over and over again. I think whether that principle, I find itself, you know, in software, if I'm, if I'm creating a software, I work hard once, make a software, sell it over and over again. If I make a YouTube video that's really valuable, it sits there on YouTube and unlike Facebook where you know, the video's gone a couple of days. No, it's down in your feed on YouTube. It will grow, you know, in three years. It's just growing in, in, in views and it's essentially working for you. So this idea of doing work once, getting paid for it for the rest of your life, or at least for a good two, two to five years is something that I've always, always kind of have front and center when I'm working.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Well, what's nice about what you're doing, like with affiliate offers versus trying to sell someone a subscription is you did all the work at the front where now it's up to that company to keep those clients there. So you don't have to try to keep them there all the time.

    James Hurst:

    Exactly. And there's pros and cons to that too, which means that, you know, some of that's out of my hands. Like if that company doesn't support people very well, you know, or it's too complicated or the support, the support process is too, you know, then it's out of your hands. Whereas you know, if it is my own product and I've actually, one of the things you introduced was Email Sluper 3000 I'm just in the process of changing that from a one time fee to a small monthly fee. So I'm actually getting my feet wet myself as a product owner for Email Slurper 3000 of what's that like to have my own subscription, my own subscription based product. And it's exciting to think about, you know, and this one's only $7 a month. And so I just kind of dream about, you know, even just a thousand people.

    Like what if I had a thousand people paying $7 a month, then I could count on that. I could basically count on $7,000 a month, you know? And I would probably have some, you know, I would probably know about how much I'm growing at the time. And that's really, it's a really powerful model to be able to predict your, your monthly revenues, right? To have some sort of consistency there, whether it's on an affiliate residual model or whether it's software as a subscription for yourself. And I'm just doing that with ClickFunnels and Stripe. So I just set up, set up a recurring product in Stripe and I tie that back to ClickFunnels. And that's how I'm, that's how I'm doing that.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Utilize the platform that's paying you.

    James Hurst:

    No, and that's, yeah, typically, typically I don't....it's not a hard and fast rule that I have to be using the product, but it's typically a natural, a natural thing to promote the things that I recommend, you know, as a, as someone that puts my own name on the line for what the things that I recommend I, I'd have a hard time, you know, pushing things that I don't really believe in,

    Virginia Purnell:

    Which says a lot too. Because then if other people know that you recommend a product, then they're more likely to trust you too, right?

    James Hurst:

    Yep. Yep. And now the tricky thing, like, I don't know if you've heard of Kajabi or not. I have, yes. Yeah. So I have Kajabi as an end user. I've purchased many courses that have, so I know what Kajabi is like as an end user. Unfortunately, to promote it as an affiliate, you actually have to purchase, you have to, you have to be a paying member of Kajabi. And so that, that is it. That is an obstacle is that there's some programs that you have to be a paying member, and have to be able to promote them. And that's actually, in a way, it's a good, it's a good thing and a bad thing because it means that it means that the, the, the amount of competition that you're competing with, with other affiliates is going to be much less because you have to be a paying member to do it.

    So the trick is if I wanted to be, you know, if I'm paying for ClickFunnels, which does membership sites, and then why would I want to go and pay extra just to be using Kajabi so I can promote Kajabi or do or do a compare and contrast. So at a minimum I would not be afraid to start up a free trial of these softwares. You can, I mean within 14 days or a month you can do a good comparison review, that kind of thing. And actually have a, make an, an opinion about, you know, about the two different softwares. But if you wanted to go all in, it's tempting because I think Kajabi is great too. It's tempting to want to just say, well, I've got to figure out how a way to be, you know, to break even on my Kajabi subscription.

    Maybe throw, maybe throw a course up in there. And so that's, that's tough. There's another program too that I'm like that it's like, I don't use it, but I want to know about it and promote it. So I bought like sheep, like a lifetime version of it. So I could have access, make tutorials, do you know, do comparisons, and be knowledgeable about the subject. But yeah, it's a lot. It's, it's a lot. Definitely pros and cons to whether you have to pay or not to be able to promote, to be a paying member, not to promote something.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Yes. And like you said, like it, put something on Kajabi and then hope to get your investment back out of it. Right?

    James Hurst:

    Yeah. Yeah. 'Cause I'm pretty well ingrained. I have, I've got quite a bit of stuff in ClickFunnels so it would be, it would be a ton of work to get everything of mine out of there and I'm okay. You know, I'm kind of, my role out there is kind of to be the guy that does know, Hey, what's better, good job, your ClickFunnels for this purpose, what, you know, go high level versus ClickFunnels. And so as an affiliate, you know, I don't have, I mean I, I've done well as a ClickFunnels affiliate, but to try to, even though there's, we have bias for the things that we promote, I think the best way is to be an affiliate for both products. Do a review and, and be an affiliate for both. Let's say this is my honest opinion of this one. For these people. Here's my honest opinion of this. These ones for those people, I don't care which one you think is better for you. This is, here's my thing and here's, and either one or they're both my affiliate link. You know what I mean? Yeah.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So what do you look for when you go to promote an affiliate as an affiliate for a company?

    James Hurst:

    So I look for, I look for some excitement around something, right? I, you know, if I hear one person talking about it, that's one thing. If I hear it again and again and again, right? I see, I look, I'm joining the Facebook group. I can see kind of the trajectory of how it's growing and I kind of listen to it on the Facebook group. Are people complaining? Are people asking questions? What's, you know, people are there to support kind of. You just kind of get a vibe for the product and then like Kajabi, like for example, what's my experience like as an end user and just seeing, just basically keeping an ear to the wall on products that people seem to love. Right. And, and it seemed to be growing. I mean if it's not, it's nothing. There's no, I don't know, other than just intuition of, of just keeping your eye, keeping my ear to the wall on and what people are talking about, yeah. For what else I'd like to promote.

    Virginia Purnell:

    How do you stand out from all the other competition on the products that have a lot of affiliates promoting them?

    James Hurst:

    No, it is kind of crowded at the same time. A lot of people fizzle out too. Man. I, it has been a grind. Like, luckily I love, luckily I enjoy the grind. Otherwise I wouldn't like it, I'm just like, ah, this is not where the thing you do want to throw in the towel sometimes. But yeah, like I've been trying to grow like my YouTube channel and it's just like, it's literally, it's like one subscriber and then two days go by and then another subscriber and it's just, it's like pushing, like pushing the, you know, a rock up a Hill, but in the hopes that someday that thing will start rolling back down and, and gain that momentum. But how do you stand out? So yeah, even just showing up consistently, right. Will will separate you. Like that was really going to be consistent at first.

    And I had a thing that said, okay, you've got to publish at least one thing a week. Right. Whether it's a YouTube video, a blog or something. I tend to like video. Personally. I'm doing a lot of teaching, I'm opening up softwares, looking at, I'm teaching, that kind of thing. But yeah, I kind of had to commit to myself to show up at least once a week. And if you're really, you know, if you're really going to go all in, you've got to show up. You got to show up daily, right? If you're at the forefront of what you're doing, you should be having cool stuff that you're doing or thinking about or coming up with and sharing that with your audience. And there's also this idea of like when you're first getting started, like you may not be, you may not feel like you're the expert, but like pick that thing you want to be the expert in and start going deep on something.

    Like I just picked up a tool, I kind of literally picked up a product like a week or like a week and a half ago and I dove in, figured things out and then I made a, I made a tutorial on it. And I'm like on the first page of YouTube for this thing, I even feel like it's some of the best training out there. Like, it doesn't take that much. There's always going to be people that are like behind where you are and ahead of you. And so just don't worry about that, but just help anyone. Just whatever's on, I don't know, whatever's on your mind, you'd be surprised how quickly you can become like, you know, this little mini expert on a certain, on a certain topic.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I like how you said not to worry about the people in front of you because there's going to be people behind you that are just where you were not long ago. Right,

    James Hurst:

    Exactly. And in this case, like this specific case, like I'm on, I'm like a week, I'm like a week ahead of these people. Like I just, you know, but the fact that I took the time and that's actually a really cool place. It's easy to, Oh my goodness. Someone was just doing a tutorial on the most simple thing and people were raving about, you know, like, Oh my gosh, this is, you know, I was just like, you kidding me? Like I can't, like I almost would've never bothered. Like it seems so simple that why would I bother to make a, you know what I mean? But people need to just completely like step-by-step to talk to me like I'm a third grader or a fifth grader type thing and it's so it's, it's good to kind of make that. So I debated sometimes whether to make tutorials like as I'm learning it because then it's like, so let's say like an unboxing, like let's say I'm going to unbox this thing and figure it out right here, live in front of you so you can like kind of seen any like how hard is this thing to figure out?

    But instead, instead I think it's better to unbox the thing, get it all set up or take it for a drive and then like not too far out, but like just like a week or two out, then go back and make that video of the review about it. Because once you get a year or two out from the product, you forget what it's like to not know what, you know what I mean? You're, you're, you have a bias, you kind of forget what it's like to not know how to use something. So try to try to make that tutorial, you know, when it's still fresh on your mind when you are confused, you know, much better be able to relate to people when they're just getting started with something. So, yeah.

    Virginia Purnell:

    A little bit ago you had mentioned that one of your goals is to grow your YouTube channel. Do you have any other goals or how that you're hoping to achieve in the next year or two?

    James Hurst:

    Yeah, so I actually, I have a day job. I'm a computer programmer by day in AWS and it's good, it's a good, safe, secure, you know, job. I've been there five years, great people have been happy there, generous, you know, health benefits and generous paid vacation. Right. And so the, you know, the, a big dream would be to be able to have that stability in, in online marketing space to be able to, you know, typically make that big leap. Right. And I always debate whether I could or should. And then something like, you know, the Coronavirus happens and be like, Oh my gosh, I'm grateful to have so stability. You know, when things are crazy and you know, and, and so in the meantime, you know, I'm paying off, you know, paying off my car that paying off some debt, you know, trying to strengthen my position, my cash position, like with, with cash reserves and savings.

    And so, yeah, so the you know, a big goal would be to, you know, to go a hundred percent online, but at the same time like I don't want to, I dunno, there's, it's, I kind of in the mix of aye, I don't want to just just work from home and like have a bunch of like clients necessarily and like have 10 bosses instead of one and S but you know, I've been spoiled a little bit in having passive and cause I know what, I know what it's like to have passive income coming in and so in, in some ways the constraint to say, no, James, you have to figure this out with your little, with your, you can't, you can't have having extra time be a crutch, right? You need to think about these things in a way. Like you can, like, yeah, you know, you can't rely on making 40 hours of YouTube content a week to feel, I don't know.

    I'm trying to find that balance if I don't want to trade my time for money, right. I don't want to trade my time for money. But at a certain, there's a certain amount of that that you have to do to convert it into, you know, an asset. But I, I'm very, yeah, very cautious on, on how I, on how I think about things. So like I can make 40 different YouTube videos or I could make one awesome YouTube ad, right? That hopefully is for converting people for selling and then pushing that out to, you know, on a, as a YouTube ad. And so I'm very, I'm very cognizant of that. So I'm, I think I'm trying in a way that's like, I'm trying to figure out how to do scale things with having some of that security of the job. You know, cause I, there's, as an entrepreneur, you're, you're spending money on things and sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. It's, it can be kind of brutal.

    Yeah, exactly. And advertising has been, I know the average advertising, like figuring out either a Google ads, YouTube ads, Facebook ads, like you know, I, I, I've had some success I've had success and failure with, with ads and so I know that, you know, you gotta get eyes, you gotta get eyeballs on your, on your offers and different things, whether it's affiliate offer or your own offers. But this space, there's a, there's a, it's an extremely long learning curve, which I enjoy. I just recently, like I don't like, I haven't done well with Facebook ads, but I was just like, at the minimum, if someone comes to my site, let's say I have like five or 10 people coming today for whatever reason, visiting my Facebook profile or YouTube, let's say just have five or 10 people a day, no big deal. I at least like James to retarget those people.

    Those should be like, that should be cheap. That should be cheap ads. And so, and also even before you run normal traffic to your offers, you would want to have the retargeting piece set up anyways. So I'm having like this breakthrough of like at least setting up your pixel and setting up a retargeting ad. And then when that's there, then you can go to the next step, which is try to maybe send some cold traffic or any of your warm traffic that does come. At least you're going to be able to stay in front of them. I don't, I kind of have this other idea, which is I don't have the budget to be in front of everybody all the time, but I should try to be in front of, I should try to be in front of a few people wherever they go. Once they've come into my world, I should hold on to them. And you know, with Instagram and Facebook and Facebook marketplace and how people are interconnected, if they, you know, with the retargeting, they could come in from Google and I could retarget them on Facebook. Right? Yeah. So I think that's a powerful principle, which is at least retarget your traffic,

    Virginia Purnell:

    Which is good to think about too, because a lot of people say it's between like 7 - 12 times of them seeing you before they'll actually buy something from you.

    James Hurst:

    Exactly. Exactly. So yeah, like I said, you know, I don't have thousands of people coming to my stuff, but for the five or 10 people that are, I should, I should feel like I'm everywhere now. And with today's modern, you know, advertising platforms, that's, that's very possible. There's still, but yeah, I mean there's still lots to learn. I was just happy because the other day I saw an advertisement of myself, you know, I saw on my own feed my own ad. I was like, yes, I retargeted myself. 

    Virginia Purnell:

    You're doing a good job. Right?

    James Hurst:

    So, but yeah, there's so much, there's so much, there's so much overwhelm. There's so many shiny objects. And I actually, I know everyone says avoid them. I kinda like them. And yeah, from Facebook ads, YouTube ads, and making video tutorials and podcasts and blogs and YouTube channels and Facebook groups. And this cool tool in that cold tool. I mean they're, they're all great, but golly, use up a lot of time if you don't, aren't strategic with it all. Right. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. You like to share that we haven't talked about yet today? Well, you know, I would love to just, I'd love to just make people aware of a few of the things that you know, I have made. So you talked about CF Follow Up Pro. Basically if you're a ClickFunnels affiliate you get a, you get a commission's report and in the commissions report there's the name, the email, the product that they purchased and it looks like an Excel spreadsheet and it pretty much is a spreadsheet.

    Right? Well, the stuff that I came up with was I took, if you're familiar with Zapier, I took those, the spreadsheet and I put it into, into Google sheets and from Google sheets I put that into a Zapier, which puts it into Active Campaign, which is my email tool. And those are, this is what it does. Let's say you sign up through my link for ClickFunnels for a free trial that would end up in the report, your email, your name, the fact that you're trialing, and today's date. I take all that information, I put it into Active Campaign, and 30 minutes later I've got an email out to you saying, Hey, welcome to click. Congratulations on your free trial, right? And then I drip out. Then two days later I say, Hey, it's been a couple of days. Just want to check in with you.

    Have you, have you made your first funnel yet? Are you stuck on anything? How can I help? Right? And then four or five days later, Hey, here's a free training. A couple of days later, this is in 14 days, Hey, show me your funnel that you've made. Here's a free training. Here's a share funnel. Just a few little things, keeping in touch. And what's really cool is I built up these automations that one of the, one of them, what it does on day 15 the email, the email automation, it asks the question, it says, Hey, does this person, does it still say that they're trialing or have they converted over to a paid subscription? Okay. Because if they pay, then there'll be another row in the spreadsheet that says your name and it says, you're on the startup plan and you paid, and I made $38 and 80 cents.

    Okay. So the automation, it looks at that and it says, Oh no, I don't see another record in here for her. That came through a, it's the last thing I saw was that there was a, that it was trialing, so that flips a switch that branches and it says, Oh, Hey, it looks like you didn't continue your trial with ClickFunnels or whatever with ClickFunnels. Hey, you know what? Something wrong? You need to make your trial longer. Do you need, you know, what did you get stuck on something? It's that. It's that feedback. And some people will, some people will never hear back from right. Other people will reply and say, Oh gosh, I was so busy. You know, they got sick, whatever. I'd love to. If I get this extended or you know, I couldn't get my domain set up. It was just a pain, you know?

    And so you get that feedback of why are people falling through the cracks? Same thing for a refund. If my little automations, they listen, quote unquote listening for a refund, boom, that kicks off an automation emails. Hey, it looks like you refunded. Let's like he refunded your last month. Did you know you can downgrade, you don't have to cancel. You can, you can downgrade to the smaller plan. You know, maybe they don't know. You're just trying. And so to have those emails going out perfectly that right time, like it's very, very powerful. And that's a, that's a tool I built. The other one, which is really, really cool too. There's a few competitors out there, but the other one's called Email Slurper for 3000. And do you have a, you have a Facebook group yourself? 

    Virginia Purnell:

    Not quite yet. 

    James Hurst:

    Not quite yet. So Facebook groups are really powerful. It's a great way to kind of congregate, you know, your audience, right? Whether it's your podcast listeners or people that are buying your tools or that want to get your trainings, things like that. And so a lot of people have Facebook groups and you get three questions as an admin to kind of filter out the spam of the internet. And you could say like, why do you want to join? How did you hear about us? Do you, you know, do you agree to follow the group rules of no spamming, no, no, this or that. What we did was marketers, we took those three admin questions and we said, well, we're going to use one of them to say, Hey do you would like this free training, a lead magnets, enter your email address, okay, enter your email address. And then another question could be, imagine this.

    Imagine, imagine the question is, do you have ClickFunnels? And they put yes or no as the answer. So now you're getting some market research about you, about your audience. And then you have another third question you could say, you know, what's your biggest, what's your biggest concern when it comes to getting visibility right out on the internet? What's, what's your biggest question about YouTube? So now you're getting ideas about content you can create. Well, where are people getting stuck? They're coming to you as the expert. Where are people getting stuck? What kind of content could you make? Let's say 50 people come in and they all have these top five questions. You can directly speak to them. Okay, so what my tool Email Slurper 3000 does is it takes, most importantly, it takes that email address, it puts it into a Google sheet, which it gets picked up by Zapier.

    I put that into my Active Campaign. And then I email people, Hey, welcome to this group that you just joined. Okay? And so I have a group that people are literally finding it every single day without me doing anything like just the way it's named, the amount of buzz around it. And people come and join every single day. He emails her, they put their email in email, super picks them up, and I started and I started dripping them 10 emails. This one I'm doing, it just has a little Amazon affiliate link that says a related thing, right? So you're just, you email out related products and services and so I just say, Oh, this is cool. You're welcome. This group, here's a link for this thing the next day. Oh, you should know about this. Oh and here's the link if you want to get it.

    I just every single day for like seven days anyways, so Email Slurper it. If you hit, if you didn't have Email Sluper, you'd have to copy that email address out of there. You have to copy it out of there manually. If you hit, approve, if you, if you hit approve its just gone. Facebook does not save the answers to those questions anywhere. That's a, that's a big painful moment when someone learns that for the first time that you, you know, if, if you didn't copy those emails, they're gone. So Email Slurper grabs them out of there and puts them into your tool. Here's a really cool thing to do, which I came up with is remember how I asked like you have ClickFunnels, yes or no? Yes I can take, I can take the answer to that question and map that to a custom field in my auto responder and then I can have an automation. What I'm, when I'm dripping them out, I can have an automation say, how did they answer that question if they, if they said no to the ClickFunnels, do they have ClickFunnels? Yes or no? Then I can send them other emails say, Hey, let me tell you about ClickFunnels and here's my, here's my link, right, to get them on a free trial of ClickFunnels.

    Does that make sense? It does and it makes me really excited. Well good. It's actually, I mean it's actually really cool cause I mean I just love, I love automation. Like you know, just little things like, and it's so simple. Do you have ClickFunnels, yes or no, and then the auto responder says, what do they say to the answer to that question? They say, yes. Okay, well don't bother telling them more about ClickFunnels. Did they say no? Then tell them this, you know, and then your third question, you could also branch them another, you know another way. The key with that question is it has to be something you can't say, what's your favorite color? Red, right. It can't be a free response. It has to be something that I can like, you know, get ahold of and and ask does it stay yes or no, like past to be something specific

    Virginia Purnell:

    And then information that you can utilize down the road. Right?

    James Hurst:

    Yeah, exactly. And I mean it's great. It's great. Let's, let's say this, they say no to ClickFunnels. I may be, I may be happy to, I may be happy to just do it with email automations. Like, okay, here's a trial ClickFunnels. You should try this, try that. Or if it's important enough or high value enough, you could then say, you could even send yourself an email and said someone just joined your group and they said they're very interested in your nine 97 plan. Then you notify them to get on the phone with this or get over on the Facebook messenger. So depending on the value of that thing, you know you might want to escalate your personal involvement. So those are good tips too.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I'm glad we talked today, so it was awesome. How can people find out more about you or find you online?

    James Hurst:

    So I'm pretty active on Facebook. Facebook.com/OJHurst, I think is my profile. I have a website, JamesHurst.com and find me there. So either of those two places. I have a Facebook group kind of geared around affiliate marketing and ClickFunnels, that kind of thing. I also have one on live streaming, the live streaming practice with James Hurst. There's just a few of us in there and we just practice that up and try to get better at the live stream, which I think is something everyone should, you know, should get better at and take advantage of. I think live, I think live video is a huge kind of untapped opportunity.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I really appreciate you being on here, James.

    James Hurst:

    Well, thanks so much. Nice visiting.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Have a great day.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thanks for being here today. 

    So tell us a little bit about yourself.

    James Hurst:

    Okay, so yeah, like the intro kind of said, I've been doing this for quite a while ever since. I've been selling things since on eBay. And then I got into, I've worked for an agency doing pay-per-click, been doing SEO, I had a local business, so I kind of always had some business going on in some computer aspect of it. You know, website, lead gen and since you can tell even already, I'm like a little bit all over the place. I've kind of settled in a little bit as an affiliate marketer, which is good because that means I can, you know, if I think something's really cool and interesting, I can go check it out, review it, you know, make a blog or make a video post about it and then I can go to the next thing and, and review that.

    And so I'm kind of realizing that yeah, I don't just have one, one particular niche, but I kind of just, I kind of enjoy, enjoy soaking, soaking up a little bit of everything, if that makes sense.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So, whatever catches your fancy the moment, right?

    James Hurst:

    Yeah.

    Virginia Purnell:

    What inspired you to become an affiliate marketer?

    James Hurst:

    Affiliate marketer? Well, one of the big, one of the bigger products that I promote is ClickFunnels. And just this idea of making a sale once and then getting paid for it multiple times on the backend. So a big shift you'll see in the industry is everyone wants to sell a subscription. Seems like whether it's Netflix or ClickFunnels or Active Campaign, most or even Adobe, the Adobe softwares, they're wanting to sell a subscription so they can have a recurring residual income model so they can probably forecast better and everything.

    And so I figured, Hey, if I'm going to, if I'm going to sell something, why not sell something that people will use, you know, month in and month out. And then if I truly put in enough work and build up a big enough base, then it really is something that I could, I could take, you know, two weeks a month off from work, quote unquote work and, and still have that revenue coming in. That seemed like a very, that's seemed like a very powerful model. Something worth investing. Your limited amount of time into it is doing the work once and getting paid for it over and over again. I think whether that principle, I find itself, you know, in software, if I'm, if I'm creating a software, I work hard once, make a software, sell it over and over again. If I make a YouTube video that's really valuable, it sits there on YouTube and unlike Facebook where you know, the video's gone a couple of days. No, it's down in your feed on YouTube. It will grow, you know, in three years. It's just growing in, in, in views and it's essentially working for you. So this idea of doing work once, getting paid for it for the rest of your life, or at least for a good two, two to five years is something that I've always, always kind of have front and center when I'm working.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Well, what's nice about what you're doing, like with affiliate offers versus trying to sell someone a subscription is you did all the work at the front where now it's up to that company to keep those clients there. So you don't have to try to keep them there all the time.

    James Hurst:

    Exactly. And there's pros and cons to that too, which means that, you know, some of that's out of my hands. Like if that company doesn't support people very well, you know, or it's too complicated or the support, the support process is too, you know, then it's out of your hands. Whereas you know, if it is my own product and I've actually, one of the things you introduced was Email Sluper 3000 I'm just in the process of changing that from a one time fee to a small monthly fee. So I'm actually getting my feet wet myself as a product owner for Email Slurper 3000 of what's that like to have my own subscription, my own subscription based product. And it's exciting to think about, you know, and this one's only $7 a month. And so I just kind of dream about, you know, even just a thousand people.

    Like what if I had a thousand people paying $7 a month, then I could count on that. I could basically count on $7,000 a month, you know? And I would probably have some, you know, I would probably know about how much I'm growing at the time. And that's really, it's a really powerful model to be able to predict your, your monthly revenues, right? To have some sort of consistency there, whether it's on an affiliate residual model or whether it's software as a subscription for yourself. And I'm just doing that with ClickFunnels and Stripe. So I just set up, set up a recurring product in Stripe and I tie that back to ClickFunnels. And that's how I'm, that's how I'm doing that.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Utilize the platform that's paying you.

    James Hurst:

    No, and that's, yeah, typically, typically I don't....it's not a hard and fast rule that I have to be using the product, but it's typically a natural, a natural thing to promote the things that I recommend, you know, as a, as someone that puts my own name on the line for what the things that I recommend I, I'd have a hard time, you know, pushing things that I don't really believe in,

    Virginia Purnell:

    Which says a lot too. Because then if other people know that you recommend a product, then they're more likely to trust you too, right?

    James Hurst:

    Yep. Yep. And now the tricky thing, like, I don't know if you've heard of Kajabi or not. I have, yes. Yeah. So I have Kajabi as an end user. I've purchased many courses that have, so I know what Kajabi is like as an end user. Unfortunately, to promote it as an affiliate, you actually have to purchase, you have to, you have to be a paying member of Kajabi. And so that, that is it. That is an obstacle is that there's some programs that you have to be a paying member, and have to be able to promote them. And that's actually, in a way, it's a good, it's a good thing and a bad thing because it means that it means that the, the, the amount of competition that you're competing with, with other affiliates is going to be much less because you have to be a paying member to do it.

    So the trick is if I wanted to be, you know, if I'm paying for ClickFunnels, which does membership sites, and then why would I want to go and pay extra just to be using Kajabi so I can promote Kajabi or do or do a compare and contrast. So at a minimum I would not be afraid to start up a free trial of these softwares. You can, I mean within 14 days or a month you can do a good comparison review, that kind of thing. And actually have a, make an, an opinion about, you know, about the two different softwares. But if you wanted to go all in, it's tempting because I think Kajabi is great too. It's tempting to want to just say, well, I've got to figure out how a way to be, you know, to break even on my Kajabi subscription.

    Maybe throw, maybe throw a course up in there. And so that's, that's tough. There's another program too that I'm like that it's like, I don't use it, but I want to know about it and promote it. So I bought like sheep, like a lifetime version of it. So I could have access, make tutorials, do you know, do comparisons, and be knowledgeable about the subject. But yeah, it's a lot. It's, it's a lot. Definitely pros and cons to whether you have to pay or not to be able to promote, to be a paying member, not to promote something.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Yes. And like you said, like it, put something on Kajabi and then hope to get your investment back out of it. Right?

    James Hurst:

    Yeah. Yeah. 'Cause I'm pretty well ingrained. I have, I've got quite a bit of stuff in ClickFunnels so it would be, it would be a ton of work to get everything of mine out of there and I'm okay. You know, I'm kind of, my role out there is kind of to be the guy that does know, Hey, what's better, good job, your ClickFunnels for this purpose, what, you know, go high level versus ClickFunnels. And so as an affiliate, you know, I don't have, I mean I, I've done well as a ClickFunnels affiliate, but to try to, even though there's, we have bias for the things that we promote, I think the best way is to be an affiliate for both products. Do a review and, and be an affiliate for both. Let's say this is my honest opinion of this one. For these people. Here's my honest opinion of this. These ones for those people, I don't care which one you think is better for you. This is, here's my thing and here's, and either one or they're both my affiliate link. You know what I mean? Yeah.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So what do you look for when you go to promote an affiliate as an affiliate for a company?

    James Hurst:

    So I look for, I look for some excitement around something, right? I, you know, if I hear one person talking about it, that's one thing. If I hear it again and again and again, right? I see, I look, I'm joining the Facebook group. I can see kind of the trajectory of how it's growing and I kind of listen to it on the Facebook group. Are people complaining? Are people asking questions? What's, you know, people are there to support kind of. You just kind of get a vibe for the product and then like Kajabi, like for example, what's my experience like as an end user and just seeing, just basically keeping an ear to the wall on products that people seem to love. Right. And, and it seemed to be growing. I mean if it's not, it's nothing. There's no, I don't know, other than just intuition of, of just keeping your eye, keeping my ear to the wall on and what people are talking about, yeah. For what else I'd like to promote.

    Virginia Purnell:

    How do you stand out from all the other competition on the products that have a lot of affiliates promoting them?

    James Hurst:

    No, it is kind of crowded at the same time. A lot of people fizzle out too. Man. I, it has been a grind. Like, luckily I love, luckily I enjoy the grind. Otherwise I wouldn't like it, I'm just like, ah, this is not where the thing you do want to throw in the towel sometimes. But yeah, like I've been trying to grow like my YouTube channel and it's just like, it's literally, it's like one subscriber and then two days go by and then another subscriber and it's just, it's like pushing, like pushing the, you know, a rock up a Hill, but in the hopes that someday that thing will start rolling back down and, and gain that momentum. But how do you stand out? So yeah, even just showing up consistently, right. Will will separate you. Like that was really going to be consistent at first.

    And I had a thing that said, okay, you've got to publish at least one thing a week. Right. Whether it's a YouTube video, a blog or something. I tend to like video. Personally. I'm doing a lot of teaching, I'm opening up softwares, looking at, I'm teaching, that kind of thing. But yeah, I kind of had to commit to myself to show up at least once a week. And if you're really, you know, if you're really going to go all in, you've got to show up. You got to show up daily, right? If you're at the forefront of what you're doing, you should be having cool stuff that you're doing or thinking about or coming up with and sharing that with your audience. And there's also this idea of like when you're first getting started, like you may not be, you may not feel like you're the expert, but like pick that thing you want to be the expert in and start going deep on something.

    Like I just picked up a tool, I kind of literally picked up a product like a week or like a week and a half ago and I dove in, figured things out and then I made a, I made a tutorial on it. And I'm like on the first page of YouTube for this thing, I even feel like it's some of the best training out there. Like, it doesn't take that much. There's always going to be people that are like behind where you are and ahead of you. And so just don't worry about that, but just help anyone. Just whatever's on, I don't know, whatever's on your mind, you'd be surprised how quickly you can become like, you know, this little mini expert on a certain, on a certain topic.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I like how you said not to worry about the people in front of you because there's going to be people behind you that are just where you were not long ago. Right,

    James Hurst:

    Exactly. And in this case, like this specific case, like I'm on, I'm like a week, I'm like a week ahead of these people. Like I just, you know, but the fact that I took the time and that's actually a really cool place. It's easy to, Oh my goodness. Someone was just doing a tutorial on the most simple thing and people were raving about, you know, like, Oh my gosh, this is, you know, I was just like, you kidding me? Like I can't, like I almost would've never bothered. Like it seems so simple that why would I bother to make a, you know what I mean? But people need to just completely like step-by-step to talk to me like I'm a third grader or a fifth grader type thing and it's so it's, it's good to kind of make that. So I debated sometimes whether to make tutorials like as I'm learning it because then it's like, so let's say like an unboxing, like let's say I'm going to unbox this thing and figure it out right here, live in front of you so you can like kind of seen any like how hard is this thing to figure out?

    But instead, instead I think it's better to unbox the thing, get it all set up or take it for a drive and then like not too far out, but like just like a week or two out, then go back and make that video of the review about it. Because once you get a year or two out from the product, you forget what it's like to not know what, you know what I mean? You're, you're, you have a bias, you kind of forget what it's like to not know how to use something. So try to try to make that tutorial, you know, when it's still fresh on your mind when you are confused, you know, much better be able to relate to people when they're just getting started with something. So, yeah.

    Virginia Purnell:

    A little bit ago you had mentioned that one of your goals is to grow your YouTube channel. Do you have any other goals or how that you're hoping to achieve in the next year or two?

    James Hurst:

    Yeah, so I actually, I have a day job. I'm a computer programmer by day in AWS and it's good, it's a good, safe, secure, you know, job. I've been there five years, great people have been happy there, generous, you know, health benefits and generous paid vacation. Right. And so the, you know, the, a big dream would be to be able to have that stability in, in online marketing space to be able to, you know, typically make that big leap. Right. And I always debate whether I could or should. And then something like, you know, the Coronavirus happens and be like, Oh my gosh, I'm grateful to have so stability. You know, when things are crazy and you know, and, and so in the meantime, you know, I'm paying off, you know, paying off my car that paying off some debt, you know, trying to strengthen my position, my cash position, like with, with cash reserves and savings.

    And so, yeah, so the you know, a big goal would be to, you know, to go a hundred percent online, but at the same time like I don't want to, I dunno, there's, it's, I kind of in the mix of aye, I don't want to just just work from home and like have a bunch of like clients necessarily and like have 10 bosses instead of one and S but you know, I've been spoiled a little bit in having passive and cause I know what, I know what it's like to have passive income coming in and so in, in some ways the constraint to say, no, James, you have to figure this out with your little, with your, you can't, you can't have having extra time be a crutch, right? You need to think about these things in a way. Like you can, like, yeah, you know, you can't rely on making 40 hours of YouTube content a week to feel, I don't know.

    I'm trying to find that balance if I don't want to trade my time for money, right. I don't want to trade my time for money. But at a certain, there's a certain amount of that that you have to do to convert it into, you know, an asset. But I, I'm very, yeah, very cautious on, on how I, on how I think about things. So like I can make 40 different YouTube videos or I could make one awesome YouTube ad, right? That hopefully is for converting people for selling and then pushing that out to, you know, on a, as a YouTube ad. And so I'm very, I'm very cognizant of that. So I'm, I think I'm trying in a way that's like, I'm trying to figure out how to do scale things with having some of that security of the job. You know, cause I, there's, as an entrepreneur, you're, you're spending money on things and sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. It's, it can be kind of brutal.

    Yeah, exactly. And advertising has been, I know the average advertising, like figuring out either a Google ads, YouTube ads, Facebook ads, like you know, I, I, I've had some success I've had success and failure with, with ads and so I know that, you know, you gotta get eyes, you gotta get eyeballs on your, on your offers and different things, whether it's affiliate offer or your own offers. But this space, there's a, there's a, it's an extremely long learning curve, which I enjoy. I just recently, like I don't like, I haven't done well with Facebook ads, but I was just like, at the minimum, if someone comes to my site, let's say I have like five or 10 people coming today for whatever reason, visiting my Facebook profile or YouTube, let's say just have five or 10 people a day, no big deal. I at least like James to retarget those people.

    Those should be like, that should be cheap. That should be cheap ads. And so, and also even before you run normal traffic to your offers, you would want to have the retargeting piece set up anyways. So I'm having like this breakthrough of like at least setting up your pixel and setting up a retargeting ad. And then when that's there, then you can go to the next step, which is try to maybe send some cold traffic or any of your warm traffic that does come. At least you're going to be able to stay in front of them. I don't, I kind of have this other idea, which is I don't have the budget to be in front of everybody all the time, but I should try to be in front of, I should try to be in front of a few people wherever they go. Once they've come into my world, I should hold on to them. And you know, with Instagram and Facebook and Facebook marketplace and how people are interconnected, if they, you know, with the retargeting, they could come in from Google and I could retarget them on Facebook. Right? Yeah. So I think that's a powerful principle, which is at least retarget your traffic,

    Virginia Purnell:

    Which is good to think about too, because a lot of people say it's between like 7 - 12 times of them seeing you before they'll actually buy something from you.

    James Hurst:

    Exactly. Exactly. So yeah, like I said, you know, I don't have thousands of people coming to my stuff, but for the five or 10 people that are, I should, I should feel like I'm everywhere now. And with today's modern, you know, advertising platforms, that's, that's very possible. There's still, but yeah, I mean there's still lots to learn. I was just happy because the other day I saw an advertisement of myself, you know, I saw on my own feed my own ad. I was like, yes, I retargeted myself. 

    Virginia Purnell:

    You're doing a good job. Right?

    James Hurst:

    So, but yeah, there's so much, there's so much, there's so much overwhelm. There's so many shiny objects. And I actually, I know everyone says avoid them. I kinda like them. And yeah, from Facebook ads, YouTube ads, and making video tutorials and podcasts and blogs and YouTube channels and Facebook groups. And this cool tool in that cold tool. I mean they're, they're all great, but golly, use up a lot of time if you don't, aren't strategic with it all. Right. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. You like to share that we haven't talked about yet today? Well, you know, I would love to just, I'd love to just make people aware of a few of the things that you know, I have made. So you talked about CF Follow Up Pro. Basically if you're a ClickFunnels affiliate you get a, you get a commission's report and in the commissions report there's the name, the email, the product that they purchased and it looks like an Excel spreadsheet and it pretty much is a spreadsheet.

    Right? Well, the stuff that I came up with was I took, if you're familiar with Zapier, I took those, the spreadsheet and I put it into, into Google sheets and from Google sheets I put that into a Zapier, which puts it into Active Campaign, which is my email tool. And those are, this is what it does. Let's say you sign up through my link for ClickFunnels for a free trial that would end up in the report, your email, your name, the fact that you're trialing, and today's date. I take all that information, I put it into Active Campaign, and 30 minutes later I've got an email out to you saying, Hey, welcome to click. Congratulations on your free trial, right? And then I drip out. Then two days later I say, Hey, it's been a couple of days. Just want to check in with you.

    Have you, have you made your first funnel yet? Are you stuck on anything? How can I help? Right? And then four or five days later, Hey, here's a free training. A couple of days later, this is in 14 days, Hey, show me your funnel that you've made. Here's a free training. Here's a share funnel. Just a few little things, keeping in touch. And what's really cool is I built up these automations that one of the, one of them, what it does on day 15 the email, the email automation, it asks the question, it says, Hey, does this person, does it still say that they're trialing or have they converted over to a paid subscription? Okay. Because if they pay, then there'll be another row in the spreadsheet that says your name and it says, you're on the startup plan and you paid, and I made $38 and 80 cents.

    Okay. So the automation, it looks at that and it says, Oh no, I don't see another record in here for her. That came through a, it's the last thing I saw was that there was a, that it was trialing, so that flips a switch that branches and it says, Oh, Hey, it looks like you didn't continue your trial with ClickFunnels or whatever with ClickFunnels. Hey, you know what? Something wrong? You need to make your trial longer. Do you need, you know, what did you get stuck on something? It's that. It's that feedback. And some people will, some people will never hear back from right. Other people will reply and say, Oh gosh, I was so busy. You know, they got sick, whatever. I'd love to. If I get this extended or you know, I couldn't get my domain set up. It was just a pain, you know?

    And so you get that feedback of why are people falling through the cracks? Same thing for a refund. If my little automations, they listen, quote unquote listening for a refund, boom, that kicks off an automation emails. Hey, it looks like you refunded. Let's like he refunded your last month. Did you know you can downgrade, you don't have to cancel. You can, you can downgrade to the smaller plan. You know, maybe they don't know. You're just trying. And so to have those emails going out perfectly that right time, like it's very, very powerful. And that's a, that's a tool I built. The other one, which is really, really cool too. There's a few competitors out there, but the other one's called Email Slurper for 3000. And do you have a, you have a Facebook group yourself? 

    Virginia Purnell:

    Not quite yet. 

    James Hurst:

    Not quite yet. So Facebook groups are really powerful. It's a great way to kind of congregate, you know, your audience, right? Whether it's your podcast listeners or people that are buying your tools or that want to get your trainings, things like that. And so a lot of people have Facebook groups and you get three questions as an admin to kind of filter out the spam of the internet. And you could say like, why do you want to join? How did you hear about us? Do you, you know, do you agree to follow the group rules of no spamming, no, no, this or that. What we did was marketers, we took those three admin questions and we said, well, we're going to use one of them to say, Hey do you would like this free training, a lead magnets, enter your email address, okay, enter your email address. And then another question could be, imagine this.

    Imagine, imagine the question is, do you have ClickFunnels? And they put yes or no as the answer. So now you're getting some market research about you, about your audience. And then you have another third question you could say, you know, what's your biggest, what's your biggest concern when it comes to getting visibility right out on the internet? What's, what's your biggest question about YouTube? So now you're getting ideas about content you can create. Well, where are people getting stuck? They're coming to you as the expert. Where are people getting stuck? What kind of content could you make? Let's say 50 people come in and they all have these top five questions. You can directly speak to them. Okay, so what my tool Email Slurper 3000 does is it takes, most importantly, it takes that email address, it puts it into a Google sheet, which it gets picked up by Zapier.

    I put that into my Active Campaign. And then I email people, Hey, welcome to this group that you just joined. Okay? And so I have a group that people are literally finding it every single day without me doing anything like just the way it's named, the amount of buzz around it. And people come and join every single day. He emails her, they put their email in email, super picks them up, and I started and I started dripping them 10 emails. This one I'm doing, it just has a little Amazon affiliate link that says a related thing, right? So you're just, you email out related products and services and so I just say, Oh, this is cool. You're welcome. This group, here's a link for this thing the next day. Oh, you should know about this. Oh and here's the link if you want to get it.

    I just every single day for like seven days anyways, so Email Slurper it. If you hit, if you didn't have Email Sluper, you'd have to copy that email address out of there. You have to copy it out of there manually. If you hit, approve, if you, if you hit approve its just gone. Facebook does not save the answers to those questions anywhere. That's a, that's a big painful moment when someone learns that for the first time that you, you know, if, if you didn't copy those emails, they're gone. So Email Slurper grabs them out of there and puts them into your tool. Here's a really cool thing to do, which I came up with is remember how I asked like you have ClickFunnels, yes or no? Yes I can take, I can take the answer to that question and map that to a custom field in my auto responder and then I can have an automation. What I'm, when I'm dripping them out, I can have an automation say, how did they answer that question if they, if they said no to the ClickFunnels, do they have ClickFunnels? Yes or no? Then I can send them other emails say, Hey, let me tell you about ClickFunnels and here's my, here's my link, right, to get them on a free trial of ClickFunnels.

    Does that make sense? It does and it makes me really excited. Well good. It's actually, I mean it's actually really cool cause I mean I just love, I love automation. Like you know, just little things like, and it's so simple. Do you have ClickFunnels, yes or no, and then the auto responder says, what do they say to the answer to that question? They say, yes. Okay, well don't bother telling them more about ClickFunnels. Did they say no? Then tell them this, you know, and then your third question, you could also branch them another, you know another way. The key with that question is it has to be something you can't say, what's your favorite color? Red, right. It can't be a free response. It has to be something that I can like, you know, get ahold of and and ask does it stay yes or no, like past to be something specific

    Virginia Purnell:

    And then information that you can utilize down the road. Right?

    James Hurst:

    Yeah, exactly. And I mean it's great. It's great. Let's, let's say this, they say no to ClickFunnels. I may be, I may be happy to, I may be happy to just do it with email automations. Like, okay, here's a trial ClickFunnels. You should try this, try that. Or if it's important enough or high value enough, you could then say, you could even send yourself an email and said someone just joined your group and they said they're very interested in your nine 97 plan. Then you notify them to get on the phone with this or get over on the Facebook messenger. So depending on the value of that thing, you know you might want to escalate your personal involvement. So those are good tips too.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I'm glad we talked today, so it was awesome. How can people find out more about you or find you online?

    James Hurst:

    So I'm pretty active on Facebook. Facebook.com/OJHurst, I think is my profile. I have a website, JamesHurst.com and find me there. So either of those two places. I have a Facebook group kind of geared around affiliate marketing and ClickFunnels, that kind of thing. I also have one on live streaming, the live streaming practice with James Hurst. There's just a few of us in there and we just practice that up and try to get better at the live stream, which I think is something everyone should, you know, should get better at and take advantage of. I think live, I think live video is a huge kind of untapped opportunity.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I really appreciate you being on here, James.

    James Hurst:

    Well, thanks so much. Nice visiting.

    Welcome to entrepreneur conundrum with Virginia Purnell where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online. 

    Hi everyone. Today I'm talking with Mark Stern about how he builds stronger relationships to stand out in the marketplace. 

    Mark Stern is a serial entrepreneur and founder of rough street digital, the custom box agency and live online. Prior to entrepreneurship, Mark was a top ranked strategy consultant from the world's largest consulting firm, Deloitte for the fastest way to its hardest through barbecue and tacos and he lives in Austin, Texas. 

    Welcome, Mark Stern.

    Mark Stern:

    It’s good seeing you, Virginia. Thank you for having me on.

    Virginia Purnell:

    You're welcome. Great to have you here. 

    Mark, you've done some pretty big things in the online marketing space and I'm thankful that you've graciously consented to this interview to share with us some of those cool tricks, tricks, and tips that you've been able to use to become visible in your space and I'm hoping that we'll be able to share those so that our audience will be able to implement them as well.

    Mark Stern:

    Awesome. No, I'm excited to share some, we have some great things that I'm excited to share with your audience.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Cool. Just jump right in. So could you tell us a little bit about yourself?

    Mark Stern:

    Happy to. So I was born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama and I was always raised with the idea that there's this perfect, you know, pathway to happiness. You go to high school, you graduate, have the dream job, eventually go back to grad school and then afterwards it's, you know, pick defense family and the rest is history. That's the fast way to happiness. And I would joke that like, I think I was like the poster child for it because I loved high school. I was president of my student body. Same thing in college, had my dream job, went to my dream business school. I went to Duke university, and was president of that as well. And then I graduated in 2012 with a job that was amazing. It was with Deloitte consulting, world's largest consulting firm. But I find myself locked into a two year minimum commitment to the consulting firm.

    Mark Stern:

    And I had just walked out of business school with $165,000 in student loan debt. And at that time for me, like I had those ambitions to want to be an entrepreneur, but based on the situation that I was in, when you work for a consulting firm, anything you produce is owned by the firm. 

    So this whole idea about having a side hustle and addition to your day job that pays the bills, I couldn't have a side hustle because if my side hustle would be owned by the firm. So what I did instead, and I think a lot of people are in this, especially if you work for a consulting firm, or big tech. A lot of companies out there own what you produce. So because I couldn't really scratch that itch, I ended up going to every digital marketing conference out there. I'd read every book and I just dream until I realized I was using that as a form of medicine to address the bigger issue, which is I needed to scratch this edge. I needed to go all in and make the leap into entrepreneurship. So I officially did that in 2018. The thing I did right out of the gate, that was the game changer for me, was launching a virtual event. And so much of what I put out in the marketplace is so much of what you talk about, which is how do you increase your visibility online, and how do you stand out in a, in a way that attracts your ideal avatar.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Yeah. It's quite a journey that you've taken on. So you made the leap in 2018, correct?

    Mark Stern:

    Yeah, right at the beginning of the year. The second after New Year's Eve, I came back and was like, I've got to do this. If I don't do this, I'll regret it.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Kind of like a New Year's resolution.

    Mark Stern:

    Oh, unexpected New Year's as a little bit going into it, I didn't know that I was going to come out of it saying, you know, here's my notice.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So were you an overnight success when you did it?

    Mark Stern:

    I wish I were. I wish I could say I was. You know what I learned was I came from a corporate job that, I mean, it basically occupied my entire mental capacity. So, you know, I think I put a lot of unnecessary stress on myself to say, if I'm making the leap from corporate to becoming an entrepreneur, I need to have the business all figured out. And the reality was when I made the leap officially, I put my notice in January. It took me five months to transition out just because of the projects that I was working on. So when I left in May, I had no idea what I was going to do. And what I learned was that's okay because I knew that once I left, I could release all of the mental capacity from my corporate job and then really get into that zone of creativity to start to figure out what it is that I want to be when I grow up.

    And what where that led me was I knew that I loved conferences and the simple idea of doing a virtual conference where I can customize the message to who I wanted to serve and really attract them as well as build relationships. And then selfishly I was someone that really struggled initially putting myself out there online. It was another platform that forced me to get uncomfortable because I was trying to put myself out there in the digital realm, which is something that was brand new to me at the time. So I was not an overnight success, but it helped prepare me. I felt like I very quickly flipped on the switch to bring attention to myself based on the steps that I did take pretty quickly. And that was the virtual event.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So you had mentioned that it was hard for you to put yourself out there with promoting your company and getting visible online and stuff. What did you find helped you to do that?

    Mark Stern:

    So the first thing that I, for anyone in this, one of the easiest ways, especially if you struggle to get traction and take action, is to declare it publicly. So I started posting what I was going to do and I tied it to a specific date. So that was when I said... So I left in May and it was the end of June that I started posting publicly that I'm launching this fall conference in October. Here's the date of it. And I mean by simply declaring it to the public and just knowing myself, if I say I'm going to do something by a certain date, I'm going to do it. Whether or not I felt like it makes me uncomfortable or not. 

    So putting myself in, forcing myself publicly to be in an uncomfortable position, I think was the difference between me taking that massive action in a short period of time. So declare it. And I've done this practice so many different ways and I've tried this again and again and I always find that the best things I put out in the marketplace or when I'm vulnerable and I declare it publicly as then you're on the hook,

    Virginia Purnell:

    Otherwise you make a liar out of yourself, right.

    Mark Stern:

    Yeah. And that was the other thing is that I didn't want to be, and it's funny because going through the process, I kept on telling people I'm doing this version and this is before everyone started like getting loud with virtual events like they have in the last, I'd say 18 months especially right after the pandemic hit and all live events got canceled. But a lot of people, it was so funny cause when I would declare it publicly to say I'm doing this, I'm going to do a launch, a virtual event, we're going to launch a publication off the back of it and do this, this, this, and this. People would be like, nod their head like, yeah sure you are. And then I do it and they'd all be surprised that I did it. So it's funny that like when you declare things and you actually follow through, like it's part of your brand, you know it's part of who you are,

    Virginia Purnell:

    Which is huge because you can build stronger relationships that way.

    Mark Stern:

    I mean totally, totally. Because people can find you. I mean any of these things that you do that you put yourself out there, even doing a podcast by just the act of doing this, like you're getting, giving people like a glimpse into who you are and you know what it's like to collaborate with you or work with you or have a conversation with you. So it's just such a powerful means that people are attracted to different personalities. You and I can teach the same thing, but there are certain people that may gravitate towards you and others that gravitate towards me. But being able to put myself out there, I can better attract the people that know that I could be their trusted mentor to serve them and get them to the next level.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I know you do a lot with custom boxes. How does that add to visibility and the effect that it has on your customers?

    Mark Stern:

    Yeah, it's a really good question. This is something that I've been having a lot of fun with lately and it was something I stumbled upon by accident. I did a virtual event. Most people who do virtual events sell as their low ticket item, the recordings from all the speakers so people can watch it on their own time. I didn't want to do that because I didn't, I just looked at that as selling more education. I want to sell action. So when we did a high ticket online, I think it was a year ago, we instead crafted a custom box and it's, you know, a custom box. It's initially like taking a typical box you'd ship in the mail, fully brand it. So it's like a beautifully branded box and then really tailoring the contents inside for your customers. So for me, we did as a means to say, if you buy our digital product, we're going to send you something physical in the mail to compliment the digital experience.

    So the idea behind it is to remove any barriers that are preventing your audience for being successful with your product. So if you have a digital course, if you require me to print out my worksheets to be able to be successful with your digital course, you just put up a barrier that's going to prevent me from that could prevent me from being successful because you don't want to take the excuses off the table. I don't want someone telling me that they weren't successful because they don't have a printer at home or they haven't set up their printer to print out those worksheets. So that's kind of why I liked the custom boxes. I continue swag, I continue some workbooks and worksheets and supporting collateral. I can send you a book in the mail. So that's kind of like how we got started in that space.

    And then we started to do this for all of our products and services simply because what was happening was our audience, as they would get these boxes, they would start to film themselves with the boxes, take pictures with the content, do unboxing videos. They were saving the boxes. So now we were taking up space in their home and it was such a powerful thing that the organic traffic and the social proof that was happening naturally was attracting more customers and we were getting higher conversion rates for our products simply because most people don't do a physical custom box to compliment their programs. They do digital only. So it's an easy way for me to elevate whatever I do because you get this cool everyone getting a gift in the mail and it's just, you know, building upon that just a really powerful, powerful means to do it. So that's where I, you know, we built out an entire business around, you know, how do we make this more accessible to people so they can provide boxes to their audience.

    Virginia Purnell:

    That's really cool. Like, cause you're right, like everybody loves getting mail and that's not something that really happens much anymore. Like it used to.

    Mark Stern:

    And look at what's happening right now with the pandemic when the pandemic hit live, events got canceled, all mailing vendors are still considered essential. So like the fact that I can't reach you in person anymore, but now I can like how else do you provide the, you know, the way I describe it as everything online is what you see and what you hear. And when we talk about your senses and how you connect with the world around you, touch, taste and smell. You can't do with digital only content. Even this podcast is simply what you hear. If I send you a physical box, I can start to tap into the other senses that you just can't get to when you, let's just say do a virtual event that is only what you see in what you hear. So that's like the, to me, the power of it that really just elevates that experience.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Do you think that there is only one niche or one type of business that could benefit from a custom box or is it more encompassing?

    Mark Stern:

    No. I think that this is where we're having a lot of fun with it. I think a lot of people look at custom boxes as just sending someone some swag in the mail, in the box. The way that I look at it is it's truly a means to think about, extending the lifetime value of your customer. You can use a custom box to the point of customer acquisition, fulfillment or retention until it kind of gives you some examples of that. At the point of fulfillment, I could send a custom box. It's a networking box to get on the radar of influencers who may be like, like to surprise them in a way to say, look at this thing that this person sent me with a call to action to be, I'd love to do a JV partnership with you or have you on my podcast.

    Other things you can do for acquisition is we're building out a box right now that's all about client acquisition, so how can I create a prospecting box that has a lot of cool resources so people hire us for what we do at the point of fulfillment? You could do a success box or an onboarding box. I see a lot of people do challenges. Now. A lot of people compliment their challenges with a physical box in the mail. They may have a workbook and a lot of supporting collateral to make you more successful with the digital. So the coaching program that you just purchased. So that's an example of a success box at the point of fulfillment. And then from a retention standpoint, you know we have clients who are using boxes that we call achievement boxes. So to keep you engaged in our world, we may cross something to save.

    If you, if I teach you sales, if you make $10,000 in sales using our system, I may send you a box in the mail as the achievement, a milestone for you to reach to, to try and achieve, to get that box and get the item that is, you know, going to recognize that achievement that you've done. So there's all different strategies you can use across the life cycle of the customers. So I like a lot of times what we're finding is that when people are purchased for boxes, they're not looking just for a swag box. They're looking for a couple of different boxes to really enhance the experience that they're having with their clients and their customers.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I like how you had commented that had mentioned the customer lifetime value because that's really where everything really happens.

    Mark Stern:

    That's where the magic is. You know, that's where a lot of people miss out because they fulfill and their customer has a great fulfillment experience, but they don't have the strategy in place to retain them. So they don't really think about retention. Once you've like had a good experience, clients want to buy more from you if they've had results from you. So that's where like the power of like studying those achievement milestones are really powerful.

    Virginia Purnell:

    It's another way of continuing that relationship. Like you can't just talk once and expect to stay friends forever

    Mark Stern:

    A hundred percent and to give you an example of an achievement piece, like ClickFunnels or the things that they do is if you make a million dollars, they send you a two comma club award in the mail. Like that is an achievement marker. There are people who are invested in the platform because their goal is to earn a two comma club award. Like that is the achievement that they want. So, ClickFunnels is going to keep them active and they're going to provide them with the materials to help them get to that level. But they've given you something to strive for. And now ClickFunnels has launched a eight figure award and then a $25 million award and a $50 million word in a hundred million dollar award. So part of this is they're always giving you those milestones to say, I've created this thing for you to achieve or strive for. That's the power of that. I mean, to me that's such a great market example of the power of achievement to extend the lifetime value of your customers.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thank you Mark. So many good nuggets and things to think about. 

    Is there any last tips or suggestions that you have to be able to keep that customer lifetime value or to be able to be in front of your customers or how to get there and stay there?

    Mark Stern:

    Yeah, I mean this is why I think it's so important to like to be very engaged. Whenever we're launching a new product, I'm really hands on with it, especially if it's like a new type of a high ticket program. Oftentimes if it's a course or whatnot, like I like to be directly in our face staying with a group of people and usually give them a lot more attention. So like I like to be very, very hands on at the launch of any new product or offering. And part of that is it lets me see how other people react and engage to it. And a perfect example is right now I have a coaching program that is teaching people how to launch high quality virtual events. And they came to me and said had I not been very engaged in interfacing with them, they wanted more training on Facebook ads, so I get to then go find someone who's great at Facebook ads and I get to give them visibility to this group that's bought into my program. So they're happy because I'm listening to their needs and I'm able to better cater to what they want to set them up for more success. Cause that's, that's what my goal is. If you create a product for your service, I want people to complete whatever I'm offering and get results. So that's kind of like looking at what can I offer them and then just listening to what they're saying and what they're asking for for future products as well.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I like what you said, like you want them to stay with you and to finish it right? Like not just read it all. That was nice and carry on.

    Mark Stern:

    Yeah. I mean, I think my belief is that people do not want to buy a bunch of products and services and courses from 20 to 30 different influencers in the marketing space or in the online space or whatever their niche is. I mean, I think that people are looking for two to three trusted mentors that they know that their learning style will get them to take action and they know that like if I were to launch a program on webinars or a program on setting up, you know, you're like anything how to set up a podcast, how to do this, that and the other. Even if it's the first time I'm watching it out of the Gates, if they were deciding between me and someone else who really specializes in it, like I want them to be in a position that they're going to say, you know what, I'm going to, I'm going to buy from Mark because I know the quality of his products and I know that his teaching style will get me results.

    And that's, that's the reality is I bought high ticket programs that I got no results out of because the way the influencer taught it, they may be good at what they do, but they didn't teach it in a way that resonated with me and got me to take action. So that's why it's important to invest in what you're putting out in the marketplace simply if you want to truly be in it for the long term game and be that trusted mentor. Yeah, I mean these are the steps that, like, for me that I have to take.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Great. Thanks.

    Mark Stern:

    And I'm having fun and you're having fun. That's awesome. I'm having fun every step of it.

    Virginia Purnell:

    That's the key point right there. Well thank you so much Mark Stern. It was such a great interview. How can people find out more about you and what you do?

It's initially like taking a typical box you'd ship in the mail, fully brand it. So it's like a beautifully branded box and then really tailoring the contents inside for your customers. So for me, we did as a means to say, if you buy our digital product, we're going to send you something physical in the mail to compliment the digital experience.

    So the idea behind it is to remove any barriers that are preventing your audience for being successful with your product. So if you have a digital course, if you require me to print out my worksheets to be able to be successful with your digital course, you just put up a barrier that's going to prevent me from that could prevent me from being successful because you don't want to take the excuses off the table. I don't want someone telling me that they weren't successful because they don't have a printer at home or they haven't set up their printer to print out those worksheets. So that's kind of why I liked the custom boxes. I continue swag, I continue some workbooks and worksheets and supporting collateral. I can send you a book in the mail. So that's kind of like how we got started in that space.

    And then we started to do this for all of our products and services simply because what was happening was our audience, as they would get these boxes, they would start to film themselves with the boxes, take pictures with the content, do unboxing videos. They were saving the boxes. So now we were taking up space in their home and it was such a powerful thing that the organic traffic and the social proof that was happening naturally was attracting more customers and we were getting higher conversion rates for our products simply because most people don't do a physical custom box to compliment their programs. They do digital only. So it's an easy way for me to elevate whatever I do because you get this cool everyone getting a gift in the mail and it's just, you know, building upon that just a really powerful, powerful means to do it. So that's where I, you know, we built out an entire business around, you know, how do we make this more accessible to people so they can provide boxes to their audience.

    Virginia Purnell:

    That's really cool. Like, cause you're right, like everybody loves getting mail and that's not something that really happens much anymore. Like it used to.

    Mark Stern:

    And look at what's happening right now with the pandemic when the pandemic hit live, events got canceled, all mailing vendors are still considered essential. So like the fact that I can't reach you in person anymore, but now I can like how else do you provide the, you know, the way I describe it as everything online is what you see and what you hear. And when we talk about your senses and how you connect with the world around you, touch, taste and smell. You can't do with digital only content. Even this podcast is simply what you hear. If I send you a physical box, I can start to tap into the other senses that you just can't get to when you, let's just say do a virtual event that is only what you see in what you hear. So that's like the, to me, the power of it that really just elevates that experience.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Do you think that there is only one niche or one type of business that could benefit from a custom box or is it more encompassing?

    Mark Stern:

    No. I think that this is where we're having a lot of fun with it. I think a lot of people look at custom boxes as just sending someone some swag in the mail, in the box. The way that I look at it is it's truly a means to think about, extending the lifetime value of your customer. You can use a custom box to the point of customer acquisition, fulfillment or retention until it kind of gives you some examples of that. At the point of fulfillment, I could send a custom box. It's a networking box to get on the radar of influencers who may be like, like to surprise them in a way to say, look at this thing that this person sent me with a call to action to be, I'd love to do a JV partnership with you or have you on my podcast.

    Other things you can do for acquisition is we're building out a box right now that's all about client acquisition, so how can I create a prospecting box that has a lot of cool resources so people hire us for what we do at the point of fulfillment? You could do a success box or an onboarding box. I see a lot of people do challenges. Now. A lot of people compliment their challenges with a physical box in the mail. They may have a workbook and a lot of supporting collateral to make you more successful with the digital. So the coaching program that you just purchased. So that's an example of a success box at the point of fulfillment. And then from a retention standpoint, you know we have clients who are using boxes that we call achievement boxes. So to keep you engaged in our world, we may cross something to save.

    If you, if I teach you sales, if you make $10,000 in sales using our system, I may send you a box in the mail as the achievement, a milestone for you to reach to, to try and achieve, to get that box and get the item that is, you know, going to recognize that achievement that you've done. So there's all different strategies you can use across the life cycle of the customers. So I like a lot of times what we're finding is that when people are purchased for boxes, they're not looking just for a swag box. They're looking for a couple of different boxes to really enhance the experience that they're having with their clients and their customers.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I like how you had commented that had mentioned the customer lifetime value because that's really where everything really happens.

    Mark Stern:

    That's where the magic is. You know, that's where a lot of people miss out because they fulfill and their customer has a great fulfillment experience, but they don't have the strategy in place to retain them. So they don't really think about retention. Once you've like had a good experience, clients want to buy more from you if they've had results from you. So that's where like the power of like studying those achievement milestones are really powerful.

    Virginia Purnell:

    It's another way of continuing that relationship. Like you can't just talk once and expect to stay friends forever

    Mark Stern:

    A hundred percent and to give you an example of an achievement piece, like ClickFunnels or the things that they do is if you make a million dollars, they send you a two comma club award in the mail. Like that is an achievement marker. There are people who are invested in the platform because their goal is to earn a two comma club award. Like that is the achievement that they want. So, ClickFunnels is going to keep them active and they're going to provide them with the materials to help them get to that level. But they've given you something to strive for. And now ClickFunnels has launched a eight figure award and then a $25 million award and a $50 million word in a hundred million dollar award. So part of this is they're always giving you those milestones to say, I've created this thing for you to achieve or strive for. That's the power of that. I mean, to me that's such a great market example of the power of achievement to extend the lifetime value of your customers.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thank you Mark. So many good nuggets and things to think about. 

    Is there any last tips or suggestions that you have to be able to keep that customer lifetime value or to be able to be in front of your customers or how to get there and stay there?

    Mark Stern:

    Yeah, I mean this is why I think it's so important to like to be very engaged. Whenever we're launching a new product, I'm really hands on with it, especially if it's like a new type of a high ticket program. Oftentimes if it's a course or whatnot, like I like to be directly in our face staying with a group of people and usually give them a lot more attention. So like I like to be very, very hands on at the launch of any new product or offering. And part of that is it lets me see how other people react and engage to it. And a perfect example is right now I have a coaching program that is teaching people how to launch high quality virtual events. And they came to me and said had I not been very engaged in interfacing with them, they wanted more training on Facebook ads, so I get to then go find someone who's great at Facebook ads and I get to give them visibility to this group that's bought into my program. So they're happy because I'm listening to their needs and I'm able to better cater to what they want to set them up for more success. Cause that's, that's what my goal is. If you create a product for your service, I want people to complete whatever I'm offering and get results. So that's kind of like looking at what can I offer them and then just listening to what they're saying and what they're asking for for future products as well.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I like what you said, like you want them to stay with you and to finish it right? Like not just read it all. That was nice and carry on.

    Mark Stern:

    Yeah. I mean, I think my belief is that people do not want to buy a bunch of products and services and courses from 20 to 30 different influencers in the marketing space or in the online space or whatever their niche is. I mean, I think that people are looking for two to three trusted mentors that they know that their learning style will get them to take action and they know that like if I were to launch a program on webinars or a program on setting up, you know, you're like anything how to set up a podcast, how to do this, that and the other. Even if it's the first time I'm watching it out of the Gates, if they were deciding between me and someone else who really specializes in it, like I want them to be in a position that they're going to say, you know what, I'm going to, I'm going to buy from Mark because I know the quality of his products and I know that his teaching style will get me results.

    And that's, that's the reality is I bought high ticket programs that I got no results out of because the way the influencer taught it, they may be good at what they do, but they didn't teach it in a way that resonated with me and got me to take action. So that's why it's important to invest in what you're putting out in the marketplace simply if you want to truly be in it for the long term game and be that trusted mentor. Yeah, I mean these are the steps that, like, for me that I have to take.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Great. Thanks.

    Mark Stern:

    And I'm having fun and you're having fun. That's awesome. I'm having fun every step of it.

    Welcome to entrepreneur conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online. Today I'm talking with Stephanie Blake about how she helps businesses grow and scale via funnels and Facebook ads. Stephanie is a techno geek that helps passionate and innovative entrepreneurs revolutionize their world by enabling them to get clear on their message and past the hurdles keeping them from their dreams. She enables business owners to create an implement, a plan to dominate their industry and live full out in their calling via high converting sales funnels, cutting edge Facebook ad strategy, and killer messenger bot strategy. Stephanie is a wife to red bearded hero and a mother to four extroverted blessings and a lover of all things marketing back to the future princess bride and blue bell ice cream. Welcome, Stephanie.

    Stephanie Blake:

    Hey. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much. I'm so excited to get to be here and chat with you.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I am excited for you. Ready to jump in? Oh yeah, let's go. Awesome. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

    Stephanie Blake:

    I am the mother of four amazing children and married to a wonderful red bearded hero is who I call him. And I run a digital ads agency. So about four and a half, five years ago, my life completely and totally changed when I decided to make a career pivot. I was already pretty geeky. My background is in network engineering and management, so I love to build computers and make them talk to each other. But I got turned on to the digital marketing space by a friend who offered me a job and I fell into the world of sponsored posts, affiliates, funnels and traffic and landing pages. And I was just so in awe and just to be honest, it was almost like things clicked into place whenever I found digital marketing. And so it was, it's been quite the journey since we started. I started an agency about four and a half years ago called Social Sparrow and we're rocking along.

    We have an amazing team of eight and we just recently got our two comma club award for earning a million dollars in our agency, helping businesses grow and scale using Facebook ads and funnels. And so I'm just excited to be able to chat with you because it's so much fun to just share the passion that I have for what you can do with your life and your business if you are on purpose and deciding purposely to build the life that you want. Cause I just can't even believe, if you would've told me five years ago that my life would look like what it does right now, I would just not even be able to comprehend that. So it's just incredible how far you can come no matter where you start. Because we started in a rough place, things were not good. And the only reason I got the education I did and digital marketing space, I was working for someone else who paid for the courses. And so I really had no frame of reference for what was possible. And so anyway, so here I am. I'm a digital ads agency owner, and do business consulting and coaching. And I just absolutely love digital marketing.

    Virginia Purnell:

    It's so nice. Things can fall into place and then how good they feel when they do.

    Stephanie Blake:

    Yes, yes. It's almost like a fish that finally gets into water, right. Or a horse that finally gets its gallup for, you know, it's just, it's an amazing, amazing thing to really have things align and feel great as you're doing work that you love.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So what do you love most about what you're doing?

    Stephanie Blake:

    I think the thing I love the most is the impact because a lot of people have fantastic offers offline. Maybe they have a zone of genius, but they just can't seem to get it online. And with the right work, the right offer, the right messaging, the right traffic, the right audiences, it, all it takes are these little tweaks and twists and turns and someone can lock into place and it literally changes their life. So for example, one of my coaching students literally went from having around $4,000 a month income with his econ product that he was selling. And he started coaching with me about two months ago and this month was his first month to hit $27,000 in 30 days. And that's a major impact. Like his life is directly changed because of his ability to sell his product to the perfect customer and continue to do that at scale. And so that's, I think to me that's what it's all about. That's what I love the most is whenever you can have that kind of impact to help someone truly make their dreams happen as like there's nothing like it, it's the best.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Yeah. Such a great feeling that you were able to help someone achieve their dreams or definitely get one step closer to it. Yeah, absolutely. Especially from such a big jump that they were able to do.

    Stephanie Blake:

    Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't always happen that fast. But, but yes, even it's so crazy cause even small little changes and, and what some people might consider to be a small difference, if you're only making $500 online, then all of a sudden you find yourself making $4,000 online. That's, that's a huge increase. And that's a really, really big deal. It doesn't always have to be like a, we're making four and then all of a sudden you're at a hundred thousand dollars. It's just about what will make the biggest impact. And sometimes for some families the biggest impact is just simply being able to cover extracurricular activities and not have to worry about if they have to put something on a credit card or not, or they're not sure if they're going to be able to do X, Y or Z. Right. Because not sure if the money is going to be there, which is where we lived our life before I started my agency. It was really, really, really rough. Not knowing if we could afford to really put our kids in the extracurricular activities or fix the fence that was falling down or you know, all those things that come up. And then the difference being that, okay, you know what, I don't have to worry about that anymore because I can take care of that because my business has grown so much. Right.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So speaking of dreams and goals, what are some big goals that you're looking to achieve over the next one to two years?

    Stephanie Blake:

    Oh man. I think the biggest thing for me is that I've been in circles in a lot of really amazing masterminds over the past couple of years. And I also had the honor and the privilege of getting to coach inside of the Two Comma Club X program for Russell Brunson. And during that time I coached hundreds of entrepreneurs and one of the things that I loved the most was whenever you found someone who really caught their groove and they created their own ecosystem and these individuals, you know, they started off, they had this idea, they made an offer, and then from that offer they found another problem to solve that was related to the audience that they were already serving. They created another offer to solve that problem. Then another problem came up and they created another offer, solve that problem, and eventually they created their own value ladder.

    And there's this ecosystem and this tribe that they have. And I started my journey in the digital marketing world as an agency. And because I wanted to be able to scale, I very intentionally niched down at the very beginning. So a large majority of our clients were in our local businesses on purpose 'cause they're kind of a different beast. And so we still serve a lot of people in the online community for infopreneurs and things like that. But whenever I start that way, I am my head down to the grindstone. Like I'm working hard, I'm building a team, I'm learning what it looks like to scale. What does it mean to have employees, not contractors, like all of this stuff. Right. And I never created any info products based off of that because it didn't really fit who I was serving for, what I was doing at that time.

    And so because of that, whenever this, you know, this year one of my goals was to start to build my own ecosystem. So in the next year to two years, not only am I going to have my agency, but I'm creating ads for beginners.com which is training grounds for people to learn Facebook ads for beginners so that they too can start their journey. And then I really just want to serve and be able to help people have significant impact in their lives and change and go after what they want and see it realized in their lives, the learning Facebook ads and kind of going up that ladder that I'll build to serve people at different levels. So that's my biggest one. I want to look back a year or year and a half from now, and then see the evidence of an ecosystem where I have a tribe that I'm consistently serving rather than just an agency, which don't get me wrong, an agency’s a lot of work. It's not just anything, it's a magnificent, beautiful beast. And I love my agency and it's not going anywhere, but with that agency, I also want to have my own ecosystem where I am serving at a different level in the infopreneur space.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So having that ecosystem would that, how would that change your business or affect your business?

    Stephanie Blake:

    I think one thing that is really, really smart about having an ecosystem and really leaning into that is because it is, it's one pathway. And if you're like me and your creative visionary entrepreneur, then you have ideas coming at you, you know, a hundred to 200,000 times a day. Like there's always an idea. There's always something you can do. But whenever you build an ecosystem, everything inside of the ecosystem needs to fit right. You can't, you know, I guess you could go back to the ecosystems of you know, just what we're taught in school. And if you were to kill all of the spiders, then the bugs would be overwhelming and dah, dah, dah. And I think along those lines, the ecosystem that you build keeps you structured because you have one person that you're serving all along their journey at different places in their journey.

    And so I think that that's one of the major benefits of creating an ecosystem yourself, because you're not just serving everybody, which you don't really do with an agency either. But if you're just making these one off products, you're not streamlined, you're not focused. And so I think that's one of the main reasons why I feel like it's just so beneficial to do that because for one, it narrows your focus. And for two, it's going to create a logical way to generate revenue for you and your family. That makes sense. While serving at a really high level and solving real problems, what do you feel like the number one roadblock has been stopping me from doing that? Oh, 100% time. 100% and I think, you know, I can't use it as an excuse because what you want, you will create. Right? But I do because of the agency and what I want to do is to have a thriving agency.

    And I also want my team to be happy. I also want to raise children intentionally. Right? And so, I also want to be a good wife. So whenever you're really intentionally trying to make sure you're, you're plugged in with your children and that you are being a great wife and that you are taking care of yourself physically and you're thinking about the needs of your team and you're serving your clients, creating new systems and processes. And so I've found that I didn't quite understand how to truly catch a rhythm cause I felt like I was always trying to make it about what I could do every day and find the schedule that included every little bit of everything every day. But in reality, the way my brain works and what I've learned even in this past year is that, you know, batching is a real thing for me.

    I really kind of need to be able to settle into a, a creative thing that I need to do for a couple of hours for it to really come out of me and for it to actually work out and to be a good thing. If I'm trying to say, Oh, you're going to do that for 30 minutes, you're going to do this for 45 minutes is better. Get up cause you didn't go do this for an hour and then you got to call here and don't forget you're gonna break up that car and you're gonna go back to working on it. Then you worked on it at the beginning like forget it. Like my brain does not really work that way. I really struggle with any type of creative thing if I have that kind of calendar. So being able to literally say this whole week I am going to give my agency the first one hour of my time and then the rest of my day I am going to be working fully on this funnel and nothing else interrupts that until five o'clock whenever I stop working, check out with my team and then I'm my family's.

    Right? So these big time blocks I feel like are what's really, really helped me have some breakthroughs and I hope to continue to help me have breakthroughs as I'm building this ecosystem. Because time has definitely been one of the biggest roadblocks for me and not understanding how I can make time work for me as an individual. Right? Because what works for one person doesn't work for everybody. So true. So true. We're all individualistic. Right?

    What's working for you right now to attract more business? Oh my gosh. Okay. So I would have to say that for me it's all about networking. I don't intentionally, like, I didn't know I was doing a thing until someone called it out. They're like, gosh, you're such a networker. And I was like, I have. And it's just, I genuinely love people and I love going to live events. And so typically I meet a lot of amazing people and get to chat with them. And I really have a heart for people. So I just want to try to help. And so what has acquainted over the years is just this a mass of amazing, amazing people. Because I've paid to be in amazing masterminds. So whenever you pay to be a high end mastermind, you get to be surrounded with incredible people because they've done something to be able to afford to be in that mastermind.

    And so because of that, what's happened is, I have this beautiful network of visionaries who know how to make things happen and have, you know, fire in their eyes ready to go after things, right? And so, and becoming known by those individuals who, you know, have followers and they have needs and they know people who have needs. I think that's one of the biggest things that I've had going for me that was honestly unintentional. Now that I see it for what it is, I'm kind of like being a little more intentional about it. Like, Oh wow, I should go to that conference. Even if I don't need to learn the things that are at that conference, I would love to know those people. Right. And being a little bit more intentional about it without getting gross. Like, Oh, I'm going to meet these people because I have ulterior motives.

    But it's just so neat to look back and see something that came very naturally to me and it ended up benefiting my business and has benefited me as an individual. Just trying to make a way, you know, make my own space in this digital marketing world. So you've kind of explained what you're doing, let's say in real life, what are you doing to get visible or to stand out online? Okay. Again, one thing I learned to do unintentionally was a year, almost two years ago, I launched a course called bot boss where I was teaching how to use messenger bots. And so many people just had no idea what bots were. And so many people were curious, but very leery of bots. And so I just started talking to different people and I started volunteering to do a free training inside of people's masterclass or mastermind and, and it was just awesome.

    It was a total win, win. Some masterminds I would talk in, I do a one hour training for them, and some of them I would walk away with somebody who wanted me to do a belt build-out or wanting to buy my course when sometimes it was, I wouldn't walk with anything, which I wasn't really looking for. I was, I genuinely was showing up to give value inside of these, these people's inner circles and masterminds. But as a result, I was able to network and get to know people and become visible through small pockets of people. You know, this one might've had a hundred people, this one might've had 20 people, this one might've had 300 people. But they're all people who are anti-ing up to be inside of a program. Right? And so that really served me a lot. And again, unintentionally, I had no idea the value that I was bringing.

    Like I thought, Oh my gosh, yeah, I was bringing great value and these people were so thankful that I was willing to donate, you know, and do an hour of my time. And I was like, Hey, isn't no problem. This is fun. And then the value that in turn that came around for me, it was people started following me, checking me out or referring me. I would get tagged all over the internet anytime that bots got brought up because I was really getting out there and, and talking about what I was super passionate about. So if you yourself, you know, know people who have their own masterminds or anything like that, you know, reaching out to them and just say, Hey, I've got this really unique thing and here is what, how it could help your people. I would love to do free training and just offer not to pitch guys, you don't have to pitch.

    All you have to do is just be you and people are going to see you as someone who knows what they're talking about and they'll reach out if they want something or know that you're an expert in it or they'll remember you later. Great advice. Thank you. What would you like to share that I haven't asked you? Oh my gosh, let me think about this. You know, I guess just one thing I would share is just that I was talking to my group coaching group yesterday and one of the things we were talking about is this entrepreneurial journey and how there are so many highs and so many lows and sometimes whenever we're down in a low it feels like, like for instance the person I had just told you about a minute ago who is selling econ. He was talking about how, you know, just, I mean literally whenever he came into my group coaching program, he literally put the money that he paid to be in the program on a credit card cause they didn't have any money.

    It was literally a step of faith to jump in. And so he was saying it was so dark and it was so, you know, it was desperate times. It was really crazy. Right? Really a step of faith and we were about how we can get in the spots and we feel like, you know what? I just need to quit. I need to go find a nine to five. Someone can hire me. You know, I tried this entrepreneurial gig, this is just too hard and we just want to throw in the towel. But the crazy thing is, usually if we can get our wits about us and we can actually survey what's actually happening, what you might see a picture of in your mind is when you're climbing up a mountain, right? And you work really hard. Let's say you're climbing this mountain for a good 30 45 an hour, right?

    You come up, you find a ledge and you sit down and you're like, Oh my gosh, you look up and the mountain, I mean it is still like almost straight up in front of you. There's still so much more to go to get to the top, right? Let's, you sit down and you go to rest and you turn around and then you look down and you see how far you came, right? So it can, you can face one way and it can feel like you're never going to make it to the top and it's going to be so hard and like how could you keep going? But then you look back and you never would have imagined that you'd come that far in the time that it took you to come to that place. Right. So I guess the encouraging thing would be like no matter where you are in your entrepreneurial journey, just remembering how far you've come.

    Because whenever I look back and I think about this speedy journey, like I mean I have an 18 year old. Okay, that just blows my mind. I have an 18 year old, my youngest is seven. And I think about 18 years and I think about when he was born in 18 years. And then I think about my entrepreneurial journey and it's only been about five years. Like we're, we're just now coming around to five years where I really kind of put my foot in this industry and then I look now where I am and I know there's so much more to go. I'm like kicking myself cause I don't have an ecosystem. Right? I'm looking up that mountain and I'm like, Oh my gosh. Like, I've been sitting here and I've known about these ecosystems, I've coached people to build their own ecosystems and I don't have my own ecosystem and I'm looking up at the mountain and I'm like, Oh, what am I ever going to get up there?

    Right. When reality, whenever I turned around and looked back down, you know, I look how far I've come at th the struggles, how we, you know, lived in this small house and how we, you know, worked through having my first team member and then having to, having one of my team members quit on me for the first time ever. It wrecked me. I was so, I was devastated. I was so upset. And then, you know, having to fire somebody for the first time, what it meant to lead, how to have my own retreat, like the Two Comma Club stage for earning a million dollars in my agency. Like, like if you want to tell me at the beginning of this journey that I was going to build an agency that would make over a million dollars. Like I just, I would've been like, what?

    Like that would have been inconceivable. So as, as we've, as I've come up this journey and I look back down, I can have so much more appreciation and understanding that all it's going to take is one foot in front of the other to make it up the other side and to keep going to reach the top right because that's all that was. It was one problem and then you solve the next problem, solve that and then solve the next problem and you just keep going and you don't let those Valley days make you forget about where you've come to get to that part. Right. So I think, I think that's, I guess I could share that because that's been the thing that's just been kind of ruminating with me, just appreciation because it was like two years ago I posted on my profile a picture and it was the two comparison shots, right.

    Of looking up the mountain and then looking how far you'd come. And I was like, Oh, that's so good. And so just remembering how far you've come, no matter where you are, if you're experiencing the Valley and celebrating, just celebrating your wins and how far you've come and knowing that you have whatever it takes inside of you in order to figure out how to solve the next problem. And then you'll figure out how to solve the problem that's after that and you'll keep going.

    ]]>     Mon, 11 May 2020 20:35:09 +0000 hello@entrepreneurconundrum.com (Virginia Purnell, Stephanie Blake) https://entrepreneurconundrum.com/ Virginia Purnell:

    Welcome to entrepreneur conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online. Today I'm talking with Stephanie Blake about how she helps businesses grow and scale via funnels and Facebook ads. Stephanie is a techno geek that helps passionate and innovative entrepreneurs revolutionize their world by enabling them to get clear on their message and past the hurdles keeping them from their dreams. She enables business owners to create an implement, a plan to dominate their industry and live full out in their calling via high converting sales funnels, cutting edge Facebook ad strategy, and killer messenger bot strategy. Stephanie is a wife to red bearded hero and a mother to four extroverted blessings and a lover of all things marketing back to the future princess bride and blue bell ice cream. Welcome, Stephanie.

    Stephanie Blake:

    Hey. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much. I'm so excited to get to be here and chat with you.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I am excited for you. Ready to jump in? Oh yeah, let's go. Awesome. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

    Stephanie Blake:

    I am the mother of four amazing children and married to a wonderful red bearded hero is who I call him. And I run a digital ads agency. So about four and a half, five years ago, my life completely and totally changed when I decided to make a career pivot. I was already pretty geeky. My background is in network engineering and management, so I love to build computers and make them talk to each other. But I got turned on to the digital marketing space by a friend who offered me a job and I fell into the world of sponsored posts, affiliates, funnels and traffic and landing pages. And I was just so in awe and just to be honest, it was almost like things clicked into place whenever I found digital marketing. And so it was, it's been quite the journey since we started. I started an agency about four and a half years ago called Social Sparrow and we're rocking along.

    We have an amazing team of eight and we just recently got our two comma club award for earning a million dollars in our agency, helping businesses grow and scale using Facebook ads and funnels. And so I'm just excited to be able to chat with you because it's so much fun to just share the passion that I have for what you can do with your life and your business if you are on purpose and deciding purposely to build the life that you want. Cause I just can't even believe, if you would've told me five years ago that my life would look like what it does right now, I would just not even be able to comprehend that. So it's just incredible how far you can come no matter where you start. Because we started in a rough place, things were not good. And the only reason I got the education I did and digital marketing space, I was working for someone else who paid for the courses. And so I really had no frame of reference for what was possible. And so anyway, so here I am. I'm a digital ads agency owner, and do business consulting and coaching. And I just absolutely love digital marketing.

    Virginia Purnell:

    It's so nice. Things can fall into place and then how good they feel when they do.

    Stephanie Blake:

    Yes, yes. It's almost like a fish that finally gets into water, right. Or a horse that finally gets its gallup for, you know, it's just, it's an amazing, amazing thing to really have things align and feel great as you're doing work that you love.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So what do you love most about what you're doing?

    Stephanie Blake:

    I think the thing I love the most is the impact because a lot of people have fantastic offers offline. Maybe they have a zone of genius, but they just can't seem to get it online. And with the right work, the right offer, the right messaging, the right traffic, the right audiences, it, all it takes are these little tweaks and twists and turns and someone can lock into place and it literally changes their life. So for example, one of my coaching students literally went from having around $4,000 a month income with his econ product that he was selling. And he started coaching with me about two months ago and this month was his first month to hit $27,000 in 30 days. And that's a major impact. Like his life is directly changed because of his ability to sell his product to the perfect customer and continue to do that at scale. And so that's, I think to me that's what it's all about. That's what I love the most is whenever you can have that kind of impact to help someone truly make their dreams happen as like there's nothing like it, it's the best.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Yeah. Such a great feeling that you were able to help someone achieve their dreams or definitely get one step closer to it. Yeah, absolutely. Especially from such a big jump that they were able to do.

    Stephanie Blake:

    Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't always happen that fast. But, but yes, even it's so crazy cause even small little changes and, and what some people might consider to be a small difference, if you're only making $500 online, then all of a sudden you find yourself making $4,000 online. That's, that's a huge increase. And that's a really, really big deal. It doesn't always have to be like a, we're making four and then all of a sudden you're at a hundred thousand dollars. It's just about what will make the biggest impact. And sometimes for some families the biggest impact is just simply being able to cover extracurricular activities and not have to worry about if they have to put something on a credit card or not, or they're not sure if they're going to be able to do X, Y or Z. Right. Because not sure if the money is going to be there, which is where we lived our life before I started my agency. It was really, really, really rough. Not knowing if we could afford to really put our kids in the extracurricular activities or fix the fence that was falling down or you know, all those things that come up. And then the difference being that, okay, you know what, I don't have to worry about that anymore because I can take care of that because my business has grown so much. Right.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So speaking of dreams and goals, what are some big goals that you're looking to achieve over the next one to two years?

    Stephanie Blake:

    Oh man. I think the biggest thing for me is that I've been in circles in a lot of really amazing masterminds over the past couple of years. And I also had the honor and the privilege of getting to coach inside of the Two Comma Club X program for Russell Brunson. And during that time I coached hundreds of entrepreneurs and one of the things that I loved the most was whenever you found someone who really caught their groove and they created their own ecosystem and these individuals, you know, they started off, they had this idea, they made an offer, and then from that offer they found another problem to solve that was related to the audience that they were already serving. They created another offer to solve that problem. Then another problem came up and they created another offer, solve that problem, and eventually they created their own value ladder.

    And there's this ecosystem and this tribe that they have. And I started my journey in the digital marketing world as an agency. And because I wanted to be able to scale, I very intentionally niched down at the very beginning. So a large majority of our clients were in our local businesses on purpose 'cause they're kind of a different beast. And so we still serve a lot of people in the online community for infopreneurs and things like that. But whenever I start that way, I am my head down to the grindstone. Like I'm working hard, I'm building a team, I'm learning what it looks like to scale. What does it mean to have employees, not contractors, like all of this stuff. Right. And I never created any info products based off of that because it didn't really fit who I was serving for, what I was doing at that time.

    And so because of that, whenever this, you know, this year one of my goals was to start to build my own ecosystem. So in the next year to two years, not only am I going to have my agency, but I'm creating ads for beginners.com which is training grounds for people to learn Facebook ads for beginners so that they too can start their journey. And then I really just want to serve and be able to help people have significant impact in their lives and change and go after what they want and see it realized in their lives, the learning Facebook ads and kind of going up that ladder that I'll build to serve people at different levels. So that's my biggest one. I want to look back a year or year and a half from now, and then see the evidence of an ecosystem where I have a tribe that I'm consistently serving rather than just an agency, which don't get me wrong, an agency’s a lot of work. It's not just anything, it's a magnificent, beautiful beast. And I love my agency and it's not going anywhere, but with that agency, I also want to have my own ecosystem where I am serving at a different level in the infopreneur space.

    Virginia Purnell:

    So having that ecosystem would that, how would that change your business or affect your business?

    Stephanie Blake:

    I think one thing that is really, really smart about having an ecosystem and really leaning into that is because it is, it's one pathway. And if you're like me and your creative visionary entrepreneur, then you have ideas coming at you, you know, a hundred to 200,000 times a day. Like there's always an idea. There's always something you can do. But whenever you build an ecosystem, everything inside of the ecosystem needs to fit right. You can't, you know, I guess you could go back to the ecosystems of you know, just what we're taught in school. And if you were to kill all of the spiders, then the bugs would be overwhelming and dah, dah, dah. And I think along those lines, the ecosystem that you build keeps you structured because you have one person that you're serving all along their journey at different places in their journey.

    And so I think that that's one of the major benefits of creating an ecosystem yourself, because you're not just serving everybody, which you don't really do with an agency either. But if you're just making these one off products, you're not streamlined, you're not focused. And so I think that's one of the main reasons why I feel like it's just so beneficial to do that because for one, it narrows your focus. And for two, it's going to create a logical way to generate revenue for you and your family. That makes sense. While serving at a really high level and solving real problems, what do you feel like the number one roadblock has been stopping me from doing that? Oh, 100% time. 100% and I think, you know, I can't use it as an excuse because what you want, you will create. Right? But I do because of the agency and what I want to do is to have a thriving agency.

    And I also want my team to be happy. I also want to raise children intentionally. Right? And so, I also want to be a good wife. So whenever you're really intentionally trying to make sure you're, you're plugged in with your children and that you are being a great wife and that you are taking care of yourself physically and you're thinking about the needs of your team and you're serving your clients, creating new systems and processes. And so I've found that I didn't quite understand how to truly catch a rhythm cause I felt like I was always trying to make it about what I could do every day and find the schedule that included every little bit of everything every day. But in reality, the way my brain works and what I've learned even in this past year is that, you know, batching is a real thing for me.

    I really kind of need to be able to settle into a, a creative thing that I need to do for a couple of hours for it to really come out of me and for it to actually work out and to be a good thing. If I'm trying to say, Oh, you're going to do that for 30 minutes, you're going to do this for 45 minutes is better. Get up cause you didn't go do this for an hour and then you got to call here and don't forget you're gonna break up that car and you're gonna go back to working on it. Then you worked on it at the beginning like forget it. Like my brain does not really work that way. I really struggle with any type of creative thing if I have that kind of calendar. So being able to literally say this whole week I am going to give my agency the first one hour of my time and then the rest of my day I am going to be working fully on this funnel and nothing else interrupts that until five o'clock whenever I stop working, check out with my team and then I'm my family's.

    Right? So these big time blocks I feel like are what's really, really helped me have some breakthroughs and I hope to continue to help me have breakthroughs as I'm building this ecosystem. Because time has definitely been one of the biggest roadblocks for me and not understanding how I can make time work for me as an individual. Right? Because what works for one person doesn't work for everybody. So true. So true. We're all individualistic. Right?

    What's working for you right now to attract more business? Oh my gosh. Okay. So I would have to say that for me it's all about networking. I don't intentionally, like, I didn't know I was doing a thing until someone called it out. They're like, gosh, you're such a networker. And I was like, I have. And it's just, I genuinely love people and I love going to live events. And so typically I meet a lot of amazing people and get to chat with them. And I really have a heart for people. So I just want to try to help. And so what has acquainted over the years is just this a mass of amazing, amazing people. Because I've paid to be in amazing masterminds. So whenever you pay to be a high end mastermind, you get to be surrounded with incredible people because they've done something to be able to afford to be in that mastermind.

    And so because of that, what's happened is, I have this beautiful network of visionaries who know how to make things happen and have, you know, fire in their eyes ready to go after things, right? And so, and becoming known by those individuals who, you know, have followers and they have needs and they know people who have needs. I think that's one of the biggest things that I've had going for me that was honestly unintentional. Now that I see it for what it is, I'm kind of like being a little more intentional about it. Like, Oh wow, I should go to that conference. Even if I don't need to learn the things that are at that conference, I would love to know those people. Right. And being a little bit more intentional about it without getting gross. Like, Oh, I'm going to meet these people because I have ulterior motives.

    But it's just so neat to look back and see something that came very naturally to me and it ended up benefiting my business and has benefited me as an individual. Just trying to make a way, you know, make my own space in this digital marketing world. So you've kind of explained what you're doing, let's say in real life, what are you doing to get visible or to stand out online? Okay. Again, one thing I learned to do unintentionally was a year, almost two years ago, I launched a course called bot boss where I was teaching how to use messenger bots. And so many people just had no idea what bots were. And so many people were curious, but very leery of bots. And so I just started talking to different people and I started volunteering to do a free training inside of people's masterclass or mastermind and, and it was just awesome.

    It was a total win, win. Some masterminds I would talk in, I do a one hour training for them, and some of them I would walk away with somebody who wanted me to do a belt build-out or wanting to buy my course when sometimes it was, I wouldn't walk with anything, which I wasn't really looking for. I was, I genuinely was showing up to give value inside of these, these people's inner circles and masterminds. But as a result, I was able to network and get to know people and become visible through small pockets of people. You know, this one might've had a hundred people, this one might've had 20 people, this one might've had 300 people. But they're all people who are anti-ing up to be inside of a program. Right? And so that really served me a lot. And again, unintentionally, I had no idea the value that I was bringing.

    Like I thought, Oh my gosh, yeah, I was bringing great value and these people were so thankful that I was willing to donate, you know, and do an hour of my time. And I was like, Hey, isn't no problem. This is fun. And then the value that in turn that came around for me, it was people started following me, checking me out or referring me. I would get tagged all over the internet anytime that bots got brought up because I was really getting out there and, and talking about what I was super passionate about. So if you yourself, you know, know people who have their own masterminds or anything like that, you know, reaching out to them and just say, Hey, I've got this really unique thing and here is what, how it could help your people. I would love to do free training and just offer not to pitch guys, you don't have to pitch.

    All you have to do is just be you and people are going to see you as someone who knows what they're talking about and they'll reach out if they want something or know that you're an expert in it or they'll remember you later. Great advice. Thank you. What would you like to share that I haven't asked you? Oh my gosh, let me think about this. You know, I guess just one thing I would share is just that I was talking to my group coaching group yesterday and one of the things we were talking about is this entrepreneurial journey and how there are so many highs and so many lows and sometimes whenever we're down in a low it feels like, like for instance the person I had just told you about a minute ago who is selling econ. He was talking about how, you know, just, I mean literally whenever he came into my group coaching program, he literally put the money that he paid to be in the program on a credit card cause they didn't have any money.

    It was literally a step of faith to jump in. And so he was saying it was so dark and it was so, you know, it was desperate times. It was really crazy. Right? Really a step of faith and we were about how we can get in the spots and we feel like, you know what? I just need to quit. I need to go find a nine to five. Someone can hire me. You know, I tried this entrepreneurial gig, this is just too hard and we just want to throw in the towel. But the crazy thing is, usually if we can get our wits about us and we can actually survey what's actually happening, what you might see a picture of in your mind is when you're climbing up a mountain, right? And you work really hard. Let's say you're climbing this mountain for a good 30 45 an hour, right?

    You come up, you find a ledge and you sit down and you're like, Oh my gosh, you look up and the mountain, I mean it is still like almost straight up in front of you. There's still so much more to go to get to the top, right? Let's, you sit down and you go to rest and you turn around and then you look down and you see how far you came, right? So it can, you can face one way and it can feel like you're never going to make it to the top and it's going to be so hard and like how could you keep going? But then you look back and you never would have imagined that you'd come that far in the time that it took you to come to that place. Right. So I guess the encouraging thing would be like no matter where you are in your entrepreneurial journey, just remembering how far you've come.

    Because whenever I look back and I think about this speedy journey, like I mean I have an 18 year old. Okay, that just blows my mind. I have an 18 year old, my youngest is seven. And I think about 18 years and I think about when he was born in 18 years. And then I think about my entrepreneurial journey and it's only been about five years. Like we're, we're just now coming around to five years where I really kind of put my foot in this industry and then I look now where I am and I know there's so much more to go. I'm like kicking myself cause I don't have an ecosystem. Right? I'm looking up that mountain and I'm like, Oh my gosh.

    Right. When reality, whenever I turned around and looked back down, you know, I look how far I've come at th the struggles, how we, you know, lived in this small house and how we, you know, worked through having my first team member and then having to, having one of my team members quit on me for the first time ever. It wrecked me. I was so, I was devastated. I was so upset. And then, you know, having to fire somebody for the first time, what it meant to lead, how to have my own retreat, like the Two Comma Club stage for earning a million dollars in my agency. Like, like if you want to tell me at the beginning of this journey that I was going to build an agency that would make over a million dollars. Like I just, I would've been like, what?

    Like that would have been inconceivable. So as, as we've, as I've come up this journey and I look back down, I can have so much more appreciation and understanding that all it's going to take is one foot in front of the other to make it up the other side and to keep going to reach the top right because that's all that was. It was one problem and then you solve the next problem, solve that and then solve the next problem and you just keep going and you don't let those Valley days make you forget about where you've come to get to that part. Right. So I think, I think that's, I guess I could share that because that's been the thing that's just been kind of ruminating with me, just appreciation because it was like two years ago I posted on my profile a picture and it was the two comparison shots, right.

    Welcome to Entrepreneur Conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online. 

    Hi everyone. Today I'm talking with Christina Szekeres about how she helps people become financially independent through affiliate marketing. Christina is an international keynote speaker and affiliate marketer for 15 years. She started when she was 14 and had no English, an independent business woman and was born and raised in Hungary and now living in Orange County, California.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Welcome Christina.

    Christina Szekeres:

    Hi Virginia. Thank you for having me.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I'm so glad that you're here. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

    Christina Szekeres:

    Of course. I'm currently living in California, but I'm originally from Budapest, Hungary. I was born and raised there and I was born to a, you know, like very poorest in European family and when I was 14, my dad got me an ebook which was written by a female affiliate marketer and she was un affiliate marketing, how to make money with ClickBank offers on Google adwords. And back then I didn't speak any English. I dedicated my whole summer to that book to translate it word by word, using the old fashioned dictionary method, you know, and I was very inspired by this woman because I thought to myself, if she can make money as a woman, then I probably can make it work too. And, and given that my parents never really had money to go on vacations or they barely had any money to pay the bills, I was super driven and motivated to change that, not only for myself but for my family too.

    So I was always motivated to, to keep going. It took me about three years to find my first profitable campaign back then when I was just a teenager. That was pay-per-view traffic with running a lead generation offer. And then I, you know, from that point on, I, it was always like for me, a breakthrough when there was like a big, big when s**t hit the fan, sorry for my bad words. But when I'm under a lot of pressure, I tend to deliver very good. And, but I was about 2021 my dad does his job and he could no longer provide for the family and that was the point, the turning point in my affiliate marketing career because until then I was just treating it as like a game and like making pocket money. But then when really it got serious because if we're about to lose our home that was behind the beers by like three months and you know, he had a couple of mortgages that he had to pay and that was the moment when I was like, okay, I need to step it up.

    I need to figure out how to make much more money. I mean I know already that you know how campaigns work and how you can make money with affiliate marketing. I did it on a low scale, but then that was the turning point for me, a big breakthrough, a push when I was under pressure to to be able to provide for the family, stepping in to become the breadwinner. And in about two months I changed the family's life. I turned it around because I was able to pay off all of his dad and I moved my dad to. After that I started traveling with my mom and I moved my dad to the us to keep working for me and now they are both are being retired in California and they are hearing me. So that is kind of like my life story in short.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Such an inspiring story. Thank you. So what's the biggest thing that you do to get visible online?

    Christina Szekeres:

    That's a very good question and I love that question. Many people today think that social media and like Instagram is the way to go and like to get miserably. Now there are like two different things that we can talk about. One, we can talk about personal branding and the other we can talk about running actual affiliate marketing campaigns. I would say they're two different things for personal branding. What I put a lot of emphasis on is providing value in communities that are interested in affiliate marketing. So I, the way I got, you know, a lot of let's say visibility or like I was put into the spotlight when I was a meeting, I don't know if you're familiar with stack that money, the forum, but it's a big affiliate marketing community.

    And they had meetups all around the world. And the way my brand started was actually going to these meetups and I met the founders in Hong Kong. So for me, one of the main tactics to get visibility and people to get to know me, to actually go to meet ups and meet people in person. So they start talking about you and I saw her speaking at events that helps a lot and online being active in groups. So I was really active on, on SDN forum. People got to know me and they got really excited when they met me in person. Right? So they could put the username behind the face short put into a face. That's not my brand started. So SDN invited me to speak at their, at their first London event. And there are like 600 people in the room and you know, it, it just came naturally.

    So I think I was very passionate about it wasn't very well planned out and you know how I am going to have a lot of visibility but it definitely was a passion of mine to travel and meet all the people and learn more from all these people and also provide value. So I kept hopping around from one continent to another just to go to an STM Europe to meet the people who are like people who do the same like I do at flare marketing, right. To share and discuss tactics and then hosting my own workshops in the meantime and mastermind and being active, you know, in the whole whole industry. So whatever industry you are a part of, I would recommend if you're planning to do a personal branding and you're passionate, passionate about, you know, being active in groups and then go to meet ups impression to not just online because that will help a lot for people to get to know you and to start talking about you. So to sum it up, I would say networking in person and in groups, Skype mastermind groups that are grow, mastermind groups, Facebook groups where you want to be active to get any recognition and to provide relief for the topic that you are representing. So I love helping out people when they push the question in our Facebook group and giving value and showing them, you know, my expertise and more and more people will see that and then they will reach out to you for help. So our perfect approach if you're just starting out.

    Welcome to Entrepreneur Conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online. 

    Hi everyone. Today I'm talking with Christina Szekeres about how she helps people become financially independent through affiliate marketing. Christina is an international keynote speaker and affiliate marketer for 15 years. She started when she was 14 and had no English, an independent business woman and was born and raised in Hungary and now living in Orange County, California.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Welcome Christina.

    Christina Szekeres:

    Hi Virginia. Thank you for having me.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I'm so glad that you're here. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

    Christina Szekeres:

    Of course. I'm currently living in California, but I'm originally from Budapest, Hungary. I was born and raised there and I was born to a, you know, like very poorest in European family and when I was 14, my dad got me an ebook which was written by a female affiliate marketer and she was un affiliate marketing, how to make money with ClickBank offers on Google adwords. And back then I didn't speak any English. I dedicated my whole summer to that book to translate it word by word, using the old fashioned dictionary method, you know, and I was very inspired by this woman because I thought to myself, if she can make money as a woman, then I probably can make it work too. And, and given that my parents never really had money to go on vacations or they barely had any money to pay the bills, I was super driven and motivated to change that, not only for myself but for my family too.

    So I was always motivated to, to keep going. It took me about three years to find my first profitable campaign back then when I was just a teenager. That was pay-per-view traffic with running a lead generation offer. And then I, you know, from that point on, I, it was always like for me, a breakthrough when there was like a big, big when s**t hit the fan, sorry for my bad words. But when I'm under a lot of pressure, I tend to deliver very good. And, but I was about 2021 my dad does his job and he could no longer provide for the family and that was the point, the turning point in my affiliate marketing career because until then I was just treating it as like a game and like making pocket money. But then when really it got serious because if we're about to lose our home that was behind the beers by like three months and you know, he had a couple of mortgages that he had to pay and that was the moment when I was like, okay, I need to step it up.

    I need to figure out how to make much more money. I mean I know already that you know how campaigns work and how you can make money with affiliate marketing. I did it on a low scale, but then that was the turning point for me, a big breakthrough, a push when I was under pressure to to be able to provide for the family, stepping in to become the breadwinner. And in about two months I changed the family's life. I turned it around because I was able to pay off all of his dad and I moved my dad to. After that I started traveling with my mom and I moved my dad to the us to keep working for me and now they are both are being retired in California and they are hearing me. So that is kind of like my life story in short.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Such an inspiring story. Thank you. So what's the biggest thing that you do to get visible online?

    Christina Szekeres:

    That's a very good question and I love that question. Many people today think that social media and like Instagram is the way to go and like to get miserably. Now there are like two different things that we can talk about. One, we can talk about personal branding and the other we can talk about running actual affiliate marketing campaigns.

    Welcome to entrepreneur conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online. 

    Hi everyone and welcome. Today I'm talking with Cory Carter about how he helps business owners find the right partners to potentially 10 X their audience. Corey is a leader of leaders. He helps the many reach new Heights in their business and careers while teaching them to figure out their why's, set the right goals, and then work the best strategy to achieve those goals. Corey and his business partner Ron cool, have a podcast called Hindsight HacKing and a Facebook group of the same name that is all about hacking others hindsight to give you a clearer foresight. 

    Welcome Corey.

    Cory Carter:

    Thank you so much Virginia. And I'm excited to be here. Really really looking forward to the launch of this.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thanks. I'm excited too and thank you for joining us. So can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

    Cory Carter:

    Yeah, definitely. So my story is basically I grew up knowing that the only way to get what I needed or wanted was I needed to work hard for it. And so at a young age, 13 I started delivering papers at five in the morning and literally ever every bit after that I would put in 60 hours a week. You know, as as I was 16 years old going to school, I would just know that I just needed to put in the time and I would get the money back. Right. And so it took me years of doing that until my first son was born that I was always around, always trading that time for the money. And then my son was born, my wife actually hemorrhaged and ended up in a pretty bad state. And I was at work two days after my son was born.

    Cory Carter:

    And you know, like I knew at that point I needed to find something, find a different way, find a better way, work smarter, not harder. And so yeah, that kind of led me on this journey of figuring out what's, what's the best way and how do I do things and how can I provide, you know, and serve people and what do I love doing? And all these questions you ask yourself, right. Finding my own why and helping other people find their why. It became kind of a passion for me. So that's really the number one thing. Like I was always working for somebody working, you know, as hard as I can, as many hours as I could to now where I don't sacrifice the family like I once did,

    Virginia Purnell:

    Which I bet your wife and kids appreciate.

    Cory Carter:

    Yes, yes, absolutely. It's you know, it took me, it still took me another 10 years after that time when I, when I needed, when I was, when my, my wife almost passed and that literally it's now, I mean, my partner Ron, like he always commends me on, on the, I won't, I won't flex. Like, you know, if I'm at home during certain times, like I'll still work hard and do things I love. But yeah, it's definitely made for a much, much better house, much better home life for sure. Well, I'm glad that you can separate the two, the work life and the home life. But one quick question for you. What is the biggest thing that you do to get visible online? Does. It's funny, I could, I could go into a long story on this for sure, but I'll try to keep it somewhat short.

    So when I, I was, I was always this voyer when it came to social media, like I, before I transitioned into working on all this online business, I literally would have had like a hundred friends on Facebook and their friends and family and even my closest relatives and closest friends, I never interacted with them. I literally watch them put their photos up of them, their lives, and I never put my own photos up. Now my, my wife would put photos up, a boss and people would comment. But again, I was this big Voyager and I never did anything online. And up until about two years ago when we move, we shifted to some online online business and a different way of networking. So if this became this thing where instead of just looking at it as I'm doing this for fun, I literally was like, okay, well this is for work and I can be, it can be for fun at the same time.

    Right? And so the number one way to that I became visible was literally you just go in, you like certain people's things or you provide a little bit of value here and there and, and before you knew it. And like, not that I've, they're all close friends, but I've got like 4,000 friends on Facebook now. And again there's, there's probably several that aren't real friends, but I think it's so many contacts and connections that just because provide a comment here, provide a comment there. And next thing you know, you're, you're hanging out with someone like a Jamie Atkinson who is, you know, King of podcasts, right? Like you just get in these circles where you provide a little bit of value at the right times. And next thing you know, you're, you're B, you're a little bit visible. Now obviously the last piece to that is you have to publish in some way, shape or form online.

    So I can go into a group and comment and like and do different things, but if there's no reason to come and watch me follow me or anything on my own stuff, then you know it's, it's irrelevant what you're doing. And so that's kinda like the last piece of getting visible to anything online for sure. So consistency is key. Yes, absolutely. Even with our podcasts, I mean, it's releasing every single week at least once a week. Like that's no matter what we make sure to get it done right. And we've found that we started a Facebook group and just a little bit of the little bit of consistency and posting and providing information. And next thing you know, we're, you know, go from five people in a group to 40 right? Like this and that. And that's not even trying, that's literally just, okay, I'm going to start adding some value and some content consistently.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thank you so much for sharing. I'm excited to have you back for another episode and how can people find out more about you and what you do?

    Cory Carter:

    Yeah, absolutely. You know, my favorite thing is definitely the Hindsight HacKing community. So either on Facebook under Hindsight HacKing or on our podcast. That's probably the, my favorite two things that we're doing right now and having a lot of fun with and hopefully providing some value for some folks.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Okay, awesome. So thank you again, Cory Carter for sharing with us and thank you to each of you for joining us for this amazing interview.

    Welcome to Entrepreneur Conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online. Hi everyone. The day I'm talking with Jodi Chaffee about how she helps families live more intentionally by creating systems and strategies for thriving culture.

    Jodi is a seasoned podcaster, homeschool mom, and a family culture expert. She has hosted our modern heritage, the home and family culture podcast for three years and recently released her 100th episode. During this time, she has interviewed dozens of experts from Paralympic athletes to entrepreneurs and authors. For more than three years, Jodi studied business culture and looked for ways to apply it to families. This resulted in a powerful framework for hacking successful cultures and applying it to families who want to live intentionally and question the status quo. She has been featured on several podcasts, presented at homeschool conferences, and is a published author in a digital magazine. Welcome, Jodi.

    Jodi Chaffee:

    Thank you so much, Virginia. I'm excited to be here.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I'm excited to have you here. So tell us a little bit about yourself.

    Jodi Chaffee:

    So like you mentioned, I have my podcast to the home family culture podcast and I'm excited. I'm going to be relaunching it as the family culture movement and so get going to get some more clarity on the direction that I want to take. That, that whole cultural shift that I want to create around family culture. And like you mentioned, I'm a homeschool mom. I have four kids and my husband and I are both self-employed and so we are, you know, we're used to this whole quarantine type of thing. That's our normal everyday life. And so, you know, I, it just breaks my heart when I hear about people who are really struggling and trying to do school at home and realizing like, wait, that's not how homeschoolers live. You know, I just want to reach to the screen and be like, no, let me help you.

    You know, it doesn't have to be so difficult. You can, you can actually even walk away from the system during this time so your family can be happy and not have to be so stressed out. But yeah, it is what it is and there's only so much I can do. I'm a strong believer in just helping families to live with intention and to break from dysfunctional patterns and live with, you know, with kind of culture that will help your family to thrive and in a trust and trust environment and an environment where you can cope with, with this daily day to day, day by day, you know, stressors of life. You know, it's not like it ever goes away, but we can learn how to cope with it in a way that helps us to have a thriving culture for our families.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Great. Thank you. Now the question for today is what's the biggest thing that you do to get visible online?

    Jodi Chaffee:

    So my podcast is a big part of my business visibility. Like you mentioned, I've been doing this for over three years with podcasting and, and recently a hundred episodes and it's something that I actually feel very passionate about. It's, it's really been life transforming to have this podcast to be able to talk to so many amazing people and meet them. And then, you know, being able to collaborate with them, to have them share their episodes out to their audiences. And post on social media about the podcast and about the episodes and having a strategy around when to post and what to post and how to attract people to the show so that they can learn about more about me and about my guests and things. And so podcast is a really is a really big part of the publicity plan because publishing consistently is a really good way to get more people engaged and to give you that visibility because it really works well with, you know, algorithms of like social media and things like that.

    If you're consistently posting and publishing then you get more and more exposure. And I love podcasting because I'm able to have awesome conversations with people and talk about things that I feel like are really important and impactful for our families and for our culture. And so to me that's, that I think is my number one and both podcasting and then publishing about the podcast on social media is a really big deal for me.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Awesome. Thank you so much. And how can people find out more about you and what you do.

    Jodi Chaffee:

    So you can come and find me on Facebook. Just Jodi Chaffee, facebook.com/Jodi Chaffee and my business page is facebook.com/family culture podcast. And I have a Facebook group that is, I go into a lot and post a lot and do a lot of work in there. And that's the group is called family culture hackers.

This resulted in a powerful framework for hacking successful cultures and applying it to families who want to live intentionally and question the status quo. She has been featured on several podcasts, presented at homeschool conferences, and is a published author in a digital magazine. Welcome, Jodi.

    Jodi Chaffee:

    Thank you so much, Virginia. I'm excited to be here.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I'm excited to have you here. So tell us a little bit about yourself.

    Jodi Chaffee:

    So like you mentioned, I have my podcast to the home family culture podcast and I'm excited. I'm going to be relaunching it as the family culture movement and so get going to get some more clarity on the direction that I want to take. That, that whole cultural shift that I want to create around family culture. And like you mentioned, I'm a homeschool mom. I have four kids and my husband and I are both self-employed and so we are, you know, we're used to this whole quarantine type of thing. That's our normal everyday life. And so, you know, I, it just breaks my heart when I hear about people who are really struggling and trying to do school at home and realizing like, wait, that's not how homeschoolers live. You know, I just want to reach to the screen and be like, no, let me help you.

    You know, it doesn't have to be so difficult. You can, you can actually even walk away from the system during this time so your family can be happy and not have to be so stressed out. But yeah, it is what it is and there's only so much I can do. I'm a strong believer in just helping families to live with intention and to break from dysfunctional patterns and live with, you know, with kind of culture that will help your family to thrive and in a trust and trust environment and an environment where you can cope with, with this daily day to day, day by day, you know, stressors of life. You know, it's not like it ever goes away, but we can learn how to cope with it in a way that helps us to have a thriving culture for our families.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Great. Thank you. Now the question for today is what's the biggest thing that you do to get visible online?

    Jodi Chaffee:

    So my podcast is a big part of my business visibility. Like you mentioned, I've been doing this for over three years with podcasting and, and recently a hundred episodes and it's something that I actually feel very passionate about. It's, it's really been life transforming to have this podcast to be able to talk to so many amazing people and meet them. And then, you know, being able to collaborate with them, to have them share their episodes out to their audiences. And post on social media about the podcast and about the episodes and having a strategy around when to post and what to post and how to attract people to the show so that they can learn about more about me and about my guests and things. And so podcast is a really is a really big part of the publicity plan because publishing consistently is a really good way to get more people engaged and to give you that visibility because it really works well with, you know, algorithms of like social media and things like that.

    If you're consistently posting and publishing then you get more and more exposure. And I love podcasting because I'm able to have awesome conversations with people and talk about things that I feel like are really important and impactful for our families and for our culture. And so to me that's, that I think is my number one and both podcasting and then publishing about the podcast on social media is a really big deal for me.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Awesome. Thank you so much. And how can people find out more about you and what you do.

    Jodi Chaffee:

    Welcome to Entrepreneur Conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible. 

    Hi everyone and welcome. 

    Today I'm talking with Kaci Brown about how she helps businesses serve and scale through impact and integrity. Kaci is a business consultant and marketing strategist that helps visionary entrepreneurs who want to make an impact as much as an income launch, grow, and scale online. She leverages her unique experience and background in relationship marketing to help others turn their passion into a scalable, profitable business that creates a ripple effect to pay it forward in big ways. She is one of a handful of individuals selected to coach within Russell Brunson's two comma club coaching program. I click funnels and number one Amazon bestselling author, cofounder of the amplify coaching program and host of the amplify my impact podcast. 

    Welcome, Kaci.

    Kaci Brown:

    Thank you so much for having me, Virginia. I'm really excited not only to be here with you because I love and adore your mission to serve, but it's just exciting to be a part of the podcast launch and what you're doing just to continue to, to share your message and to serve your audience in this way.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Thank you. I'm excited to have you here. So can you give us a quick little brief backstory on you?

    Kaci Brown:

    Oh, okay. So brief. My first entrepreneurial adventure was actually as a wedding photographer and that was one of the things that really taught me that whatever, whatever lane that I chose was sort of like a ministry for me. So when, and working with brides and their parents and their families, like it was such a huge milestone moment and relationships had always been really, really important.

    But that was the foundation for me with my business growing 100% through word of mouth, just based on the experience of the clients and the brides and their families working with me. And so that transitioned into a little bit of small business consulting. After my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor, it was one of those things where I had to stop and evaluate my current business model and and and plans for scaling because as a wedding photographer you only have 52 weeks out of the year so you can't get any more Saturdays. And that meant as our kids got older and involved in sports, so there is a lot of evaluation process that went into it. And then with Adam's diagnosis I knew there was going to be a ton of research, dr meeting surgeries and everything like that. And quite honestly I didn't, I didn't have the mental capacity to, to juggle it all.

    And it was one of those eye opening permanent perspective shifts in our lives where what is really, really important. We had already been about the type of life that we wanted to live as being an entrepreneur. We already both sort of worked from home and had that freedom. But with his diagnosis at 30 years old, it really thought it really taught us that we're not guaranteed tomorrow and all of this time that we think that we have to plan and save towards retirement, that that mindset needed just needed to shift to the here and now. What could we do to not only pour into our kids but in each other and the way that we wanted to live life right now. So with that mindset, he successfully navigated the surgery. There were some complications and he did 30 days of inpatient rehab. So it took me about five years before I really got back into business.

    And was, was to the point where I was, I felt the pull, like I needed to contribute more like that, just, just that God had made me for more with the gifts and talents that I had had. I felt like I was just sort of like sitting on them and not really paying it forward. And we had felt so many blessings with just people sending love and support and cards. And, and you know, gift cards like and just rallying around our family through that time of his diagnosis and recovery, that that just became like my mission. Like how can I, how can I pay this forward? How can I help other people navigate this set of circumstances? And so that's pretty much where my path begin with the online digital scaling and consulting. I got my first client helped them scale from barely making six figures to over a million dollars and the rest is pretty much history.

    I was very fortunate to join the right communities and get the right coaching and mentoring at the right time when when I knew I needed to level up at every different part and growth phase of my business, I joined the two comma club as a student and was mentored by Jorge Vasquez who was the coaching lead there. And they offered me a coaching position, which, which blew me away because it was one of those things I did not even expect or anticipate or it just, it wasn't in the game plan. Like I was growing a digital agency and somehow, not only Jorge, but the whole leadership team of two CCX and just just saw that like, and so my heart to serve like was just reinforced. Whereas like serve first build your relationships and figure out how you can always add value. And I, I just, I've never seen a negative impact or return on that yet.

    So that's what we've grown and built our businesses around. That's what we teach our, our clients and our, our coaching partners to do and their business. So I feel like it's one of those things where if we can just continue to share that message, responsibility and leadership that we are making an impact and we are just increasing our capacity of spreading that message throughout the world because we can only do so much as individuals. But if we rally together and, and let people know just the power of serving first, we collectively shift the industry. That is such a powerful story and I'm excited to have you back on so we can talk more about your business more. But just for the sake of this episode right now, can you tell us what the biggest thing you do to get visible online? Yeah, so for me the biggest thing is, again, it's a foundation of relationships.

    I love meeting new people. I love lifting other people up. And so I lead with the service always. It's a shift from like how can people see more of me versus how can I help others, you know, amplify their message and be more visible themselves. So it's honestly through serving that keeps us publishing and serving because I feel like we, we help bridge the gap of courage for those who are first starting out or they have an existing business that gets incredible results, but they may just not know how to, to get that message out there to Gail and reach more people with, with the solution that they have. So that's sort of like the niche that we found ourselves in and the more visible that we can be like that beacon of letting other people know, like, you don't have to be quiet.

    You can, you can stand up for what you believe in. While also serving is really what drives us forward. So I would say getting visible online, keep it about what you can do for others, 100% and that's the easiest formula that you can rinse and repeat and follow.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I love it. I love how your focus is outward and to other people rather than just like me, me, me, me, type of idea. Thank you so much for the great interview. How can people find out more about you and what you do?

    Kaci Brown:

    Yeah, so we have an online community called Amplify My Impact. So if you just search Facebook, you'll find us there. And we also have the amplify my impact podcast and we've made it super crazy easy for people to find us. Just the search online at www dot amplify my impact dot com so that was definitely a blessing where everything was able to come together with our mission and purpose and, and just making it easier for people to participate and, and, and rally together. Cause we all have the mindset of together we rise and it's, it's just one of those things where we can accomplish more. Working together with that abundance mindset versus there's not enough in the marketplace like that. The saturation and the fear or worried about competition or someone's going to be better than me or take my customer or client. That's one of the biggest myths that we try to dispel with our community.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I love it. I love all of the working together and everyone support each other. 

    So thank you again, Kaci, for sharing with us. 

    Have a great day.

    Welcome to Entrepreneur Conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online. 

    Hi everyone and welcome. Today I'm talking with Mark Stern about how he builds stronger relationships to stand out in the marketplace. Mark Stern is a serial entrepreneur and founder of rust streak, digital and custom box agency and live online. Prior to entrepreneurship, Mark was a top ranked strategy consultant from the world's largest consulting firm. Deloitte fastest way to his heart is through barbecue and tacos and he lives in Austin, Texas. Welcome, Mark.

    Mark Stern :

    Welcome. Well, thank you. I'm thrilled to be on here.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I'm thrilled to have you too. So Mark, you've done some big things in the online marketing space and you've graciously consented to sharing with us some of the cool tips and tricks that you've used to become an entrepreneur and get visible in your space. So tell us a little bit about yourself.

    Mark Stern:

    Yeah. I'm from Alabama originally, but I was the guy who in a nutshell was told that there's this pathway to happiness. You graduate college, you get the dream job, you go back to grad school, you get the dream job, picket fence, and you know everyone is happily ever after after that. And I found myself, like I used to joke and say I was the poster child for that pathway to happiness, but it was 2012 that I had graduated gamete MBA from Duke and found myself $165,000 in student loan debt. And that's what made me pause and say, let me reevaluate the path I'm on to make sure that this is that path that leads me to fulfillment and happiness. And that kind of jump started my journey into entrepreneurship.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Wow. That is crazy. So what is the number one thing or the biggest thing that you do to get visible online?

    Mark Stern:

    The biggest thing that I do is collaborating with other people. I think the number one trap that entrepreneurs fall into is they feel like when they get started that they have to do it all themselves. So they lock themselves into a room and film products or create these programs that they think other people want. But they're not collaborating. So to me, the easiest thing to do to get visibility in the marketplace, start engaging others. When you engage others, it's so much easier to build content and, and it just helps really amplify your message because it's, your sphere of influence isn't limited by your own network. It starts to seep into the network of those that you start to collaborate with as well.

    Virginia Purnell :

    Awesome. Have you found certain ways that help with engaging others?

    Mark Stern:

    Yeah, there's a couple different strategies you can do. What I like to do, there's a couple of things I like to do. Virtual summits or virtual events where you create a virtual experience that you'll activate come lots of sessions, workshops, interviews around a common topic. And for me, those are so much better when you collaborate with other people to do it. So when you promote it and get loud about it and they promote it to, again, your sphere influence increases. Other things like for me, I like to evaluate where are the gaps in what I'm creating and who is really good at fulfilling those gaps. So I'll go and interview them, whether it's within my page, my Facebook group. It's just such an easy way to get quality information and quality inputs because you're not limited by the data points in your head. You can tap into people that that is their zone of genius.

    Welcome to Entrepreneur Conundrum with Virginia Purnell, where growing entrepreneurs share how they get visible online. 

    Hi everyone and welcome. Today I'm talking with Mark Stern about how he builds stronger relationships to stand out in the marketplace. Mark Stern is a serial entrepreneur and founder of rust streak, digital and custom box agency and live online. Prior to entrepreneurship, Mark was a top ranked strategy consultant from the world's largest consulting firm. Deloitte fastest way to his heart is through barbecue and tacos and he lives in Austin, Texas. Welcome, Mark.

    Mark Stern :

    Welcome. Well, thank you. I'm thrilled to be on here.

    Virginia Purnell:

    I'm thrilled to have you too. So Mark, you've done some big things in the online marketing space and you've graciously consented to sharing with us some of the cool tips and tricks that you've used to become an entrepreneur and get visible in your space. So tell us a little bit about yourself.

    Mark Stern:

    Yeah. I'm from Alabama originally, but I was the guy who in a nutshell was told that there's this pathway to happiness. You graduate college, you get the dream job, you go back to grad school, you get the dream job, picket fence, and you know everyone is happily ever after after that. And I found myself, like I used to joke and say I was the poster child for that pathway to happiness, but it was 2012 that I had graduated gamete MBA from Duke and found myself $165,000 in student loan debt. And that's what made me pause and say, let me reevaluate the path I'm on to make sure that this is that path that leads me to fulfillment and happiness. And that kind of jump started my journey into entrepreneurship.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Wow. That is crazy. So what is the number one thing or the biggest thing that you do to get visible online?

    Mark Stern:

    The biggest thing that I do is collaborating with other people. I think the number one trap that entrepreneurs fall into is they feel like when they get started that they have to do it all themselves. So they lock themselves into a room and film products or create these programs that they think other people want. But they're not collaborating. So to me, the easiest thing to do to get visibility in the marketplace, start engaging others. When you engage others, it's so much easier to build content and, and it just helps really amplify your message because it's, your sphere of influence isn't limited by your own network. It starts to seep into the network of those that you start to collaborate with as well.

    Virginia Purnell :

    Awesome. Have you found certain ways that help with engaging others?

    Mark Stern:

    Yeah, there's a couple different strategies you can do. What I like to do, there's a couple of things I like to do. Virtual summits or virtual events where you create a virtual experience that you'll activate come lots of sessions, workshops, interviews around a common topic. And for me, those are so much better when you collaborate with other people to do it. So when you promote it and get loud about it and they promote it to, again, your sphere influence increases. Other things like for me, I like to evaluate where are the gaps in what I'm creating and who is really good at fulfilling those gaps. So I'll go and interview them, whether it's within my page, my Facebook group. It's just such an easy way to get quality information and quality inputs because you're not limited by the data points in your head. You can tap into people that that is their zone of genius. So those are just some of the things that I like to do.

    Virginia Purnell:

    Awesome. Thank you so much, Mark. Where can people find you?

    Mark Stern:

    Yeah, if you want to find me, you can always look me up on Facebook. Just search for Mark Stern. I mean, if you're interested in learning more about custom boxes, you can head to custom box agency.com or if you want to learn how to do virtual events, Rover method.com.
