Integrate those in your life so that you can expand again out of your comfort zone."

Success requires setting ambitious goals and embracing the journey, no matter how long it takes. You will face challenges, including initial failures and self-doubt.

    EP565: TLNuggets # 157 - Marc Von Musser - Hobby vs Business

    EP565: TLNuggets # 157 - Marc Von Musser - Hobby vs Business

    Do you have a business, or is your venture more of a hobby? If you're not consistently bringing in revenue from regular clients, you might just have an expensive hobby on your hands. There's always something new to spend money on in the business world. That's why you need a steady stream of incoming cash flow to keep things going. Beware of those so-called marketing gurus who promise to have all the answers. Many of them are stuck in the past, peddling outdated methods that just don't work anymore. Buyer confidence is at an all-time low, and you could end up wasting a fortune on strategies that fall flat.

    What's the key to success in today's market? Authenticity. Authentic messaging not only attracts clients but also helps you serve them better while saving you money in the long run. Clients need to know that they can trust you to deliver, and that means backing up your intentions with a solid system.

    With millions of podcasts and billions of listeners, it's a massive opportunity to articulate your message and build relationships that lead to sales. In fact, the sale is often 90% done by the time someone jumps on a call with you because the conversation has already built trust and rapport. Podcast guesting isn't just about getting on any show. It's about articulating your message in a way that leads people to want to jump on a call with you.

    Are you ready to take your podcast guesting game to the next level? check out Nicky's upcoming workshop, "Get Booked and Get Paid.

    EP564: Raymond Aaron - Sales Drives People Crazy!!

    EP564: Raymond Aaron - Sales Drives People Crazy!!

    "You only have a business if you have clients who've paid you"

    These days, the word "sales" and even salespeople themselves often come with a negative connotation. It's like this dark cloud hanging over the otherwise sunny world of business and life. But the truth is, sales are not the enemy. In fact, they're an integral and important part of both business and life. However, we understand why so many people are scared of it.

    One of the biggest fears people have about selling is that they'll come across as pushy or engaging in "hard selling." Selling isn't about being pushy just for the sake of making money. It's about being of service to people, helping them find solutions to their problems, and improving their lives in the process.

    Let's be real, no one likes to hear "no." But in business and in life, we need to be prepared to hear "no" more often than not. It's all part of the journey. And remember, it's not personal. It's just part of the process. Don't hold back your solutions from those who need your help. Approach sales with the mindset of genuinely wanting to improve someone's life, and you'll find that success naturally follows. And, remember to carefully target your ideal audience. Don't waste time trying to sell to people who don't need your service or product. Focus your energy on those who will truly benefit from what you have to offer.

    EP563: TL NUGGETS #156 - Matthieu Mehuys - How To Create Thought Leadership That Sells

    EP563: TL NUGGETS #156 - Matthieu Mehuys - How To Create Thought Leadership That Sells

    We should understand that success isn't just about making money, it's about making a meaningful impact and living a life of purpose. Matthieu's journey is a testament to the power of mentorship. When he first started his entrepreneurial venture in regenerative farming, he faced numerous challenges and uncertainties. Through Nicky's guidance, Matthieu was able to clarify his vision, set achievable goals, and develop strategies to overcome obstacles. Mentorship gave him the confidence and faith he needed to navigate the unpredictable ground of entrepreneurship.

    You need to step outside your comfort zone, embrace failure as a learning opportunity, and cultivate a growth mindset. You have to embrace challenges with resilience and determination, turning setbacks into stepping stones toward success.

    What exactly is regenerative farming? It's a farming approach that's not just about growing crops; it's about healing the land, restoring biodiversity, and creating a thriving ecosystem. And why does it matter? Because our current agricultural practices are wreaking havoc on the planet. Climate change, soil degradation, you name it. Regenerative farming offers a solution – a way to produce food that's good for you and good for the environment. And we all should support it. Whether you've got a green thumb or not, there are ways to get involved in simple ways. Start by educating yourself. Learn about regenerative farming practices and how they benefit everyone.

    And, if you've got a backyard, why not try your hand at gardening? It's not just about growing veggies; it's about connecting with nature and contributing to something bigger than yourself. But let's not forget about our farmers – the unsung heroes who feed the world. They're the backbone of society, yet often, they're struggling to make ends meet. That's where we come in. By supporting regenerative farmers, we're not just buying food; we're investing in a better future for all.

    Check out Matthieu's show, "The Regenerative Design Podcast", and his new book "12Universal Laws of Nature [https://www.12lawsofnature.com/]".

    Thinking of having a chat with Matthieu? head over to his Calendly link: https://calendly.com/garden-of-your-dreams and book a free coaching call.

    And if you're eager to learn more about gardening, head over to Matthieu's website, www.gardenofyourdreams.com [http://www.gardenofyourdreams.com/]. He's got a library of free videos waiting for you.

    Expert action steps:

    1. Start a gardening journey. It's easier than you think.
    2. Reach out to regenerative farmers.
    3. Get enough sleep and exercise.
    4. Invest in yourself as an entrepreneur.
