BEHIND THE BIZ

This week, amidst the whirlwind of tasks and to-dos, I stumbled upon a moment of profound clarity and unexpected joy.

I received some fantastic news, the kind that warms your soul and lights up your path forward.

The most remarkable part? It arrived while I was simply being myself, engaging in my routine activities, without any extra effort or pretense.

It dawned on me that the authentic self has an immense return on investment (ROI) that often goes unnoticed.

In sharing this revelation, I aim to remind you, as much as myself, of a fundamental truth:

There's an incredible power in just being – in existing as we are, authentically and unapologetically.

It's a humbling realization that in life, in our relationships, and in our business endeavors, there's very little within our grasp to control.

Yet, therein lies the beauty and the freedom.

The best course of action we can take is to continue showing up, day after day, offering the best of ourselves in that present moment.

Imagine the possibilities if we all embraced this mindset.

Imagine the collective energy and the transformations that could take place, not just within us, but in the world around us.

It's about recognizing that our presence and our essence are enough, and often, that’s all it takes to invite magic into our lives.

This notion of existence and authenticity as a form of power may seem intangible, almost ethereal, but it's as real as the air we breathe.

It's a gentle nudge from the universe, reminding us that sometimes, the best strategy is to let go and let be.

To trust in the process and believe in the unseen forces at work, crafting our destinies in "the most magical ways."

As we navigate the ebbs and flows of life, let's hold onto this truth.

Let's cherish the simplicity of being, the sheer power of presence, and the incredible ROI that comes from staying true to ourselves.

After all, it's in this authenticity that our greatest potential unfolds, often in ways we could never have anticipated.

Until next time, keep showing up as your wonderful, authentic self.

The universe is listening, and it’s responding in kind.

Remember, it's not about the grand gestures or monumental efforts.

It's about the small, consistent acts of authenticity and kindness towards ourselves and others.

That's where true magic lies.

SUCCESS SHORTCUTS

Everyone has a great idea, but for that idea to come to fruition and grow versus crash and burn, people need to buy your product, service, and/or vision.

Here’s how you can generate leads for your new (or existing) business:

Stop focusing on generating leads.

Wait, what?

Yes, instead of focusing on generating leads, you need to focus on building relationships.

People do business with people, not with faceless companies.

If you focus on building meaningful relationships with your customers, you'll create loyal customers who will refer their friends to your business.

BUILD BETTER RELATIONSHIPS:

3 tips to start building better relationships with your customers:

Stop trying to sell to your customers and start building relationships to attract them.

The leads will come naturally.

3 Examples of How I Nurture My Relationships:

Turning Podcast Interviews into Conversations

My approach to podcast interviews has always been about more than just sharing my story. It's been an opportunity to actively listen to others, and understand their needs and desires.

These aren't just interviews; they're conversations that allow me to tailor my offerings more effectively, creating a bridge of understanding and empathy.

Deep Connections with Fellow Business Owners

Connecting with other entrepreneurs goes beyond mere networking for me.

It's about building genuine relationships where I can listen, understand, and provide solutions tailored to their specific needs.

This has not only helped me establish trust but has also opened doors to meaningful collaborations that amplify our collective impact.

Authentic Engagement on Social Media

My presence on social media is an extension of my belief in authenticity and transparency.

Instead of focusing on selling, I prioritize engaging with my community—sharing insights, supporting others, and building a space where genuine connections thrive.

This has turned followers into advocates, creating a loyal community eager to support and promote what we do together.

In shifting focus from generating leads to building relationships, I've seen how loyalty and referrals come naturally.

More than that, I've witnessed the transformative power of genuine connections in creating a business that not just grows, but also enriches the community around it.

So, as you navigate your entrepreneurial journey, remember: it's not about the number of leads you generate, but the depth and quality of the relationships you build.

That's where the real magic happens

PODCAST POWER-UP

UNSTUCKKD PODCAST IS COMING BACK!!

I’m excited to announce that we’re about to enter our 3rd Season of podcasting - CRAZY.

Looking back, I can’t believe I’ve been doing the show for 2 years (also considering some of the incredible guests I’ve had on the show too).

Despite the challenges of fast-approaching fatherhood while simultaneously scaling a startup, I’m still dreaming big, taking aligned action, and improving 1 percent every day.

If I can do that, so can you.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT THIS SEASON

We’ll still be focused on individuals who have navigated challenges, both personal and business-related in the most raw and authentic light possible, but finance will be explored in detail.

If you have any topic or guest requests, feedback, or praise, please reach out. The more aligned value I can bring to you, the better 💚

Stay tuned! Season 3 launches on March 11th.

SOCIAL SCOOP

What if you could get rewarded for paying your rent?

Even better, what if your credit score could be positively impacted and increased by paying your rent on time every month too?

This is what BILT, a new-ish player in the credit card game is promising.

When you’re first establishing business credit, your personal credit may also be a deciding factor on what lenders will or won’t give you (or if they’ll let you sign up for a business credit card at all).

Using a card like BILT can be a great way for you to boost your score and get rewarded for paying that hefty bill you would have already paid without the perks.

Bonus! They’ll also waive the processing fee if you pay your rent online.

If you’re just starting your business and only just recently created your entity (e.g. LLC, Corporation, etc) it can be a bit challenging to get credit.

In the second section of my Mini-Millionaire Course, I outline all the details on how to not only create your entity and set up your bank account but how to obtain credit too.
