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

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 Many of them are stuck in the past, peddling outdated methods that just don't work anymore.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." It's a two-day event happening on April 26th and 27th, and registration is open now for a low ticket fee of $2000.

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

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”.

EP562: Mia Durston - Do Hard Things

“Either I continue on this path, and I knew it wouldn’t end well. Or, I had to make a change right then and there.”

“You're never gonna be happy if you're just comfortable and consistent your entire life, never challenging yourself.”

It's never too late to make a change and become the best version of yourself. Recognize the toxic influence of certain relationships. You have to understand the power of proximity and choose to surround yourself with individuals who support your growth and aspirations. By cutting off negative influences and nurturing positive connections, create a supportive environment conducive to your personal and professional development.

Mia Durston brings a wealth of insight and inspiration from her journey of overcoming adversity and transforming her life. Her story teaches us the power of discipline, confidence, and resilience in achieving personal and professional success.

EP561: TL Nuggets 155 - Raymond Aaron The Magic Of Artificial Intelligence

“You can either catch the wave or get crushed by it.”

“There is no human as good as a human who uses AI.”

This AI powerhouse is set to impact every single industry out there. That's how big of a deal it is.

If you're not learning about AI, you're setting yourself up for failure in the business world. It's that crucial. But don't get overwhelmed. AI isn't just about algorithms and data. It's about unlocking possibilities you never thought possible. Things like making movies, healing wounds, or even planning your next epic road trip. AI can do all that and more.

EP560: Debra Basch - From Victim To Victor

“If I didn’t have that mental image of myself… ‘You’re strong, look what you overcame.’ That mindset… I just understand what a journey takes. And sometimes it takes doing really hard things to get what you want.”

Resolving extreme trauma. It's a heavy topic, I know, but believe me when I say that with the right attitude, it's possible to overcome even the most challenging experiences. In business, trust is paramount. Whether it's with clients, partners, or colleagues, trust forms the foundation of strong relationships. Without it, everything else falls apart. One nugget of wisdom to share is the power of emulation. You know, approaching leaders and saying, "I want to be just like you. So I’m going to do everything that you do so I can glean the good stuff." It's all about learning from those who inspire us and adopting their positive qualities and habits.

It's not just about lifting weights or running miles; when you strengthen yourself physically, you automatically strengthen yourself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It's a holistic approach to personal development. This is more than just a workout regimen; it's a mindset. It's about pushing yourself beyond your limits and realizing your full potential.

Expert action steps:

  1. What you’re doing in the right direction, keep doing it. Consistency trumps intensity.

  2. Focus on progress. Whatever it is, don’t look at where you’ve come from and focus on the positives. Progress can be measured in a multitude of ways.

  3. Be honest. If you can’t be honest with yourself you’ll never achieve your goals.

So, if you're ready to level up in life, reach out to Coach Debra Basch into her DMs on Instagram (@coach_debra_basch).
