Momentum for the Entrepreneurial Personality Type (EPT)
The Momentum Podcast is for those who of us who think differently — made especially for empire builders, game-changers, trailblazers, record makers, and creators of all kinds. Those among us who can’t turn it off, and don’t know why anyone would want to. We challenge complacency, destroy apathy, and we are obsessed with creating momentum. While the rest of the world strives for average and clings desperately to the status quo, you and I are compelled to move forward and change the world. We are the minority, the few, who are willing to hallucinate there could be a better future. Instead of just daydreaming of what could be, we endure the vulnerability and exposure it takes to make it real. We are the evolutionary hunters. The most important people in the world because entrepreneurs are the only source of consistent, positive human evolution, and we always will be.

354 - When Your Ego Holds You Back

Our ego is one of the most important things in growing a business. It convinces us we can do it, it helps us put up with the negative feedback and the frustration. Our ego is what keeps us going and pushes us forward when times get tough. A strong ego is critical as an entrepreneur and it will help you in so many ways.  But when it comes to scaling your business you need to get your ego out of the way. One of the reoccurring obstacles entrepreneurs see when they are considering building a team is the question, "what if I'm the only one who can do what I do?" This belief that we are the only person who can do what we do is one of the biggest stumbling blocks entrepreneurs face when they're looking to grow and scale.   If you're ready to start growing your business then we want to talk to you. www.billionairecode.com

355 - Can I Hire A Friend or Family Member?

Can you hire a friend or family member? Yes! Put them through all the same testing and processes you normally would with any other applicant and if they qualify as the best person for the job, definitely hire them. I think working with friends and family is one of the biggest privileges we can have as entrepreneurs. If this is something you're considering here's my advice, no matter who the person is, go through the process because it's the most fair thing you can do for them. Be open and transparent to avoid challenges down the track.   If you're ready to start revamping your processes, growing your business and exploding your numbers, we want to help you. www.billionairecode.com

356 - Am I An Entrepreneur?

There are times as an entrepreneur when you just want to shut down that drive you have and be like everyone else but you can't. You can't turn off who you are. The first awakening of every entrepreneur in history is when they realized they were different. The second is the discovery of innate motivation. The third is hearing the call of contribution, that voice that's saying you need to do more, be more and leave more behind. Once you realize who you're meant to be there's no way you can turn it off. You will move forward.    If you're listening and you feel like this is your time and you're ready to create momentum as an entrepreneur, grab a copy of my book.

357 - Entrepreneurs and Abusive Relationships

Abusive relationships come in many forms, these relationships can be with team members, coaches, partners, and romantic partners. Abusive relationships can be mental, physical or financial. Abusive relationships affect both men and women, they do not discriminate. Entrepreneurs are susceptible to getting into these unhealthy relationships and there are clear reasons why. It's so incredibly important to me to discuss this emotional topic because I've experienced this firsthand in a past relationship. Far too many people are feeling stuck in these relationships and I want you to know that this doesn't have to be your life.

358 - Replace Yourself In Your Business

One of the questions I get asked most often is "how do I replace myself in my business?".  This question is a massive source of confusion and frustration for entrepreneurs.  It can be a struggle however it is absolutely possible. Just not all at once!  If you're looking at building a team and you want to be a part of a community of entrepreneurs who are growing incredible businesses and mutually supporting each other go to billionairecode.com/apply

359 - Insecurities on Your Team Will Overwhelm You

If your team doesn't feel safe, they will overwhelm you with questions about every aspect of their job. When they have clear outcomes and they know what your expectations are they will go and execute those tasks.  Do you really think your team wants to overwhelm you and spend their time and energy asking you for clarity? No. Your team wants to win and when they feel safe they will!   If you're an entrepreneur who's ready to expand and you have an opportunity that's greater than you can take advantage of on your own, reach out to us.  www.billionairecode.com/apply

360 - Recognition Should Not Have A But

"You've done such a great job!.....but"   You might think that you're giving a positive comment but if you follow up with something corrective you completely deflate the positive. As a CEO you create your team's inner voice. One of your most important jobs should be to proactively seek out the things that your team does that make you excited and communicate that with them over and over again. If you can do this you will see things move forward because what you focus on expands.   If you're ready to build a world-changing team go to billionairecode.com/apply

361 - Redeployment Should Be Real

I want to be clear, redeployment is not easy, it's very frustrating.  If it gets easy for you then you're probably doing it wrong. . When you find yourself in a redeployment situation it's important to be clear, transparent and real.  Going in it's one of the hardest conversations to have but once it's done the feeling of relief is massive. Be real and you will thank yourself for it.    Do you want to build a world class game changing team? We're ready to help you. billionairecode.com/apply

362 - When Great Team Members Go Bad

When you have a team member who started out great but is now not delivering the way that they normally do, there is a high possibility that this is your issue as the entrepreneur, not your employee's issue. When you start to get comfortable with somebody you might think that the expectations you have are clear but they really aren't. If your team member doesn't have clarity around their role, they're going to lose confidence because they don't know what you really want. Unclear expectations are rarely met.   Go to billionairecode.com/apply if you're ready to take the next step towards building your empire.

363 - One Simple Question to Empower your Team

One of the easiest ways to empower your team, have them ask you fewer questions and start to get them accustomed to solving things in the business without your direct involvement is to ask them when they come to you with a problem "What would you do?". That's it. Listen, coach success, get leveraged results and you will have a team who can think for themselves.   As an entrepreneur who's listening to me, I know you want to build your team, build your empire and make your greatest contribution.

364 - Earn Discretionary Effort

As the leader of your company, you have this incredible opportunity to help the people around you transform, grow, and become better people.  When you put people in an environment that is positive and nourishing and gives them momentum, that momentum bleeds out into all other parts of their lives.

Helping people thrive will reward you now and for the rest of your career.   If you're ready to build a game-changing team go to billionairecode.com/apply and fill out the simple application.

365 - Trauma With Numbers

If you're an entrepreneur and you know dealing with numbers is hard for you, I want to give you some steps you can take to get past trauma with numbers. If you find yourself battling with your numbers there's probably a deeper reason. Admit it and work through it to become the entrepreneur you know you could be. As the saying goes "If you don't know your numbers you don't have a business".   If you're ready to start growing your team and you need support, go to billionairecode.com/apply

366 - It's Not Them, It's You

One of the biggest levers to success is to stop blaming the people around you for the things that trigger you.  Take responsibility for yourself to be able to move forward to that place you've always known you should be. When you realize what your triggers are you can condition yourself to change your behavior. What you react to will keep you in the same state of success that you're in today. When you're upset, frustrated or feel triggered by something, take a step back and ask yourself "where is this coming from and where is it that I need to work on?"   If you're ready to grow more than you ever thought you could and understand yourself in a completly different way, go get a copy of my book - freemomentumbook.com

367 - Why We Don't Ask For Help

We've all been in situations where we've had to ask for help and it's backfired. This creates a pattern in our minds that when we ask for help we are vulnerable and exposed.  I want you to understand something, to those around you vulnerability looks powerful and inspirational! Sean Stephenson and Jon Morrow are great friends of mine and one of the reasons I love hanging out with them is because they have no ego's when it comes to asking for help because they've had to do it their entire lives. Some people would call them disabled, I call them specially abled. They both have incredible wisdom about getting help and that's why they can accomplish more than the average person.  It's easy to feel like getting help makes you weak but this is just not true. Stop trying to be perfect, ask for help, and make your greatest contribution.   If you're ready to not only ask for help but build a team around exactly what you want to achieve, let us help you. billionairecode.com/apply

368 - Teach Your Expertise

I think that as an expert coach, you should teach what you're an expert at. You should teach what you are passionate about, what you have personally discovered and created. I always coach people to be very careful about sharing our materials, if you answer a question incorrectly or you don't have the answers you will leave people stuck in place. If you're a coach, an expert, an author, whatever you call yourself, you need to figure out what it is that lights you up more than anything else. Commit to a market, and share YOUR passion.    If you're ready to dominate and you're interested in the strategic planning I've talked about go to billionairecode.com/apply

369 - Company Update and an Ask

This update has been coming for a long time, today I'm sharing with you what's going on within our business and our growth.  A ton of our teams focus is currently on the Billionaire Code Accelerator program.  We are revamping our content, delivery systems, and operations because we have big goals we want to achieve for this program.    I appreciate your help, I appreciate you being a listener and being here every day for this podcast and I hope you enjoy the business update. Please subscribe to the podcast if you haven't already and if you can I'd love for you to make a post online, tag your friends and tag me so I can see what the Momentum Podcast means to you.

370 - Defending Brilliance: Be Glad You're Different

Being different means you're not average.  You're not like everyone else.  There were times in my life when I thought why can't I just be like everyone else and fit in? Today, I realize that those questions were not empowering and they were looking at the world in the wrong way. When you were younger you might have been told to sit down, stop moving, stop making everyone else uncomfortable.  But when we grow that's exactly the Evolutionary Hunter in us that allows us to create businesses, make massive outcomes and change the world! If you feel that difference within yourself, I want you to understand that is what makes you brilliant.  It is what makes you who you are and it's what's going to help you change the entire world.   If you haven't yet, go get a copy of my book The Entrepreneurial Personality Type, it will help you understand why people like us are the way we are. freemomentumbook.com

371 - Lack of Transparency Creates Anger

There are three alignments that matter to the EPT. Three alignments that keep us sane, alive, and moving forward. It's simple, first is the alignment with how we are treating ourselves, how aligned are we with what we want? The second is the alignment we have in our relationships, it's usually the alignment with a significant other that drives all our other relationships. Thirdly is our alignment with our business.  When we fail to be transparent with ourselves, with our relationships and with the people in our business what happens is we end up tolerating too much.  A lack of transparency eventually creates frustration and anger.  If you're driven by anger, you will not be successful.   If you're ready to create more momentum in your life than you ever thought possible go to freemomentumbook.com

372 - Kill The Imposter

What is the thing in your life that creates vulnerability and exposure for you that you're fighting doing?   I have things in my life that make me nervous, things that cause the imposter syndrome to make an appearance.  I've recorded over 350 podcast episodes yet every time I still try to talk myself out of it. Every time I record a podcast the voice in my head says things like "no-ones going to listen to this one".  Every day it gets a bit better and the voice gets a bit quieter. I don't think the imposter just goes away on its own. I think you have to intentionally kill it one day at a time. As evolutionary hunters, we fight the feeling of being exposed. Sometimes the most difficult thing we do, the thing that's the hardest is actually a guide to what we should be doing!    You are strong, you are capable, and you will create the business, the life, and the reality that you want. Do not let that voice talk you out of it. If this podcast spoke to you and you identify as an evolutionary hunter I want you to go freemomentumbook.com and get a copy of the Entrepreneurial Personality Type. You'll see that you are not alone.

373 - The Fastest Way to Grow your Company

Every entrepreneur has a tendency to go towards what we want to do rather than what we should be doing for the business. One of the things I have done repeatedly in my 25 years as a business consultant, is take really complicated systems and figure out the simple ways to analyze a business to get immediate clarity on what needs to be done next. This led me to create "The Five Core Functions". This is the five things a business will always have to do in order to grow and continue growing. Learn the functions, determine where you need to focus your energy first, and you will see your business grow faster than you ever thought it could.     If you're ready to create explosive growth in your business head over to billionairecode.com/apply - My team and I are ready to help you make your greatest contribution.

374 - Explode the Glass Ceiling

Ladies, it’s time you shatter and explode the glass ceiling. You can’t argue with numbers. The gender pay equity gap is massive in the world. In the US women get paid on average 80% of what men do.  Let’s be honest, women are treated differently and it’s not just in the workplace. So, how do you break through the glass ceiling? You take on the Huntress! You remember who you are because you know you have always been meant for more. The Huntress is a woman who has given up on waiting around for equal rights and has decided to dominate instead. Do want to take things to the next level?

375 - The Company Where No One has to Work

Most entrepreneurs wonder if their teams are working hard enough. I NEVER have to think that about my team. Today I'm leading one of the best teams I've ever had in my career and it's so exciting. I'm watching them perform incredibly in their positions and do amazing things for the company but, I'm also watching them grow and develop as human beings   As entrepreneurs, we want teams who can break through obstacles, execute things quickly and get through anything so we can continue to build our dreams. When hiring new team members most businesses are doing it wrong. I want you to have a team that is actively engaged, excited about where you're going, in momentum, and crushing it for you!    If you want to build a team around yourself, get everyone doing what they love, and put everyone in your business into momentum, reach out to us. billionairecode.com/apply and let us help you build a company where no one has to work.

376 - Hunters Need to Move

Are you getting the results you want right now?   For an Evolutionary Hunter, the best way to clear a mental roadblock is often through movement. If you feel like you need a walk, like you need some fresh air and stimulation, don't talk yourself into staying at the desk because you feel like that's what's more productive. As a momentum based being, you must get up and move.  When we don't have movement in our life and don't stimulate ourselves physiologically we become stuck and can't achieve the results we want.  As little as 20-30 minutes of walking every day can make a massive difference to your life. When we stop moving and strap ourselves to our desk we cause constraint to our bodies and our minds. Movement creates momentum.    If you relate to being an Evolutionary Hunter and you know that's how you are hard-wired go to freemomentumbook.com and get a copy of the Entrepreneurial Personality Type Book.

377 - Buy Expertise Successfully

When I was younger I never realized how much information and help was out there for me. I wish I knew then, what I know now.   Today, I understand that if you need expertise in your business the fastest way to get it is not to try and become an expert yourself but to just buy expertise wherever you can. Shortcut your learning curve because it's going to create way more progress and way more momentum for you. The challenge is swimming through the sea of information out there and buying the right expertise for you.  We all know the person that's been to every event and every seminar but they're just not getting anywhere. Buying expertise you don't need is like buying medicine for a disease you don't have. I want you to buy expertise successfully.   Let us show you how you can buy expertise from us that won't just change your business, it'll change your life - billionairecode.com/apply

378 - Create Constant Space for Growth

Successfully starting a business requires you to do everything.  So,  successfully starting a business conditions you to do everything.  The idea gets stuck in your head that to continue to be successful you must keep doing more and more yourself.  The goal for you as an entrepreneur should be to offload where you can so that you can grow and evolve.  You need to offload to create space for the entrepreneur that you are becoming. If you're doing too much and you're overwhelmed, you are stunting your entrepreneurial growth.     Are you moving in the right direction? If you're ready to level-up, do more, and create a bigger impact, you owe it to yourself to go through our application process - billionairecode.com/apply  - https://charfen.com/TimeStudy

379 - Hurt your Team, Hurt their Family

If you're like me you expect a lot from your team and you want people working for you who are exceptional in their positions.   If you have a strategic planning system in place and there's clear communication so your team can feel like they're winning,  the best people that you have today are going to stick around.   Early on in my career, I was so single-minded on success that there was collateral damage all over the place. It took me a long time to realize that if you hurt your team, you hurt their family and that's where they're going to fall apart. If you have really good people working for you, they don't just leave work at work. They take home the conversations, the frustration, and the overwhelm. If you want to understand how to keep A-players on your team long term, get their discretionary effort, and have the full support of their spouse and family. You have to do the right things in your business.     If you're interested in learning how to build a constructive company that has the right structures and systems in place so everybody is in momentum and is excited about what they're doing, reach out to us -  billionairecode.com/apply

380 - The CEO's Dilemma

I say it all the time, growth creates deficits and volume creates complexity.  When you're alone in the organization you have the most information you'll ever have, you're the only one who knows what's going on.  The second you hire just one person the amount you know diminishes slightly and it keeps going down as you grow. That's why It's so important to have structure and systems in your business.  As a CEO you have to make increasingly important decisions with less and less information.  For your business to succeed you need to be making the right decisions the majority of the time.     If you follow processes you will have a business that grows at a pace that you didn't know it could - billionairecode.com/apply

26 Apr 09:15

381 - Little Things Will Take You Down

As an entrepreneur, one of the first places you'll overlook, ignore, or neglect is your personal life. You won't treat with a sense of urgency the things that seem minor but become so major when they're not taken care of.  When your business is exploding and you become so busy all your energy goes to your family and your work. The little things like the car registration will be forgotten or delayed day after day. But, sometimes it's the little things that will knock you so far back that you don't even know what just happened!  Little things can suddenly become very important if you're not getting them done.

26 Apr 09:15

382 - Business Trauma is Real

When someone says "business isn't personal", I wonder what planet they came from.  Business is personal.  Business is who we are. When things are spiraling out of control within your business and you feel frustrated and anxious, it is every bit as traumatic as anything else that can happen in your life.  When you acknowledge how you're feeling that's when you can start to move forward.  I highly recommend EMDR therapy to my clients, it's the CEO's secret weapon.    You have to learn how to offload where you're uncomfortable and reduce trauma if you want to achieve long-term success. I want to see you get to six figures and beyond.  If you're ready to start building a business around who you know you were meant to be, go to billionairecode.com/apply 

26 Apr 09:15

383 - Process Creates Progress

Progress is not only financial. You can have progress in efficiency, in processes, and in systems.  If you as the entrepreneur are willing to stop and take a step back to work on the foundational parts of your business it's amazing how things can change for the better. If your business isn't growing as fast as you want it to maybe it's because it's not clear enough yet.   If you're ready to start building your business in a different way and really understand how to put the process and communication systems in place, let's do this. Go to billionairecode.com/apply

384 - Grieving a Business

In my twenties, I built a massive organization but there came a time when I decided I wanted to get out of that company.  I was on the verge of burning out and I decided to sell.  What shocked me was the successful exit of my business was one of the most constraining and momentum crushing things that had ever happened in my life. One day I was critically important, everybody needed me. The next day my phone literally didn't ring. When you make the choice to move out of a business you're really going back and erasing that future you created the day you opened the business.  When you sell a business, you grieve that company, but, you open the door to a new and exciting opportunity.    If you're ready to have the business you've always wanted go to billionairecode.com/apply

385 - Survive the Transition and Thrive

If you're an entrepreneur who's committed to building your empire, you will be in a constant state of growth and transition. Growing your business will take an incredible amount of your energy and focus.  There is a direct correlation between successful entrepreneurs and those that take radically good care of themselves.  You need to care for yourself on every level along the way so that the time you put in not only gets you through the transitions but also sees you thrive.    If you're ready to build your empire and need some game-changing coaching to get you there go to billionairecode.com/apply

386 - Beware of Mutineers

When you have a mutineer within your ranks they can rip apart your business very quickly. Mutineers have a deep need for attention. They'll start rumors and cause unnecessary questions to be asked. It may not always be intentional but if there's someone constantly casting doubt over your leadership abilities it's going to chip away at the relationship you have with your team. I want you to be able to clearly see who these people are. If you want to communicate with your team effectively to achieve goals faster than you ever thought possible go to billionairecode.com/apply - My team will get back to you personally and get you on a call to see how we can help you.

387 - Compartmentalization is a Myth

Compartmentalization for entrepreneurs is impossible. We can't just stop and separate from who we really are. In reality, if there is something wrong at home it's going to affect you in your business and if something is stressing you out at work you're going to take that home with you whether you admit it or not. If you want success in your business you have to make better personal decisions. That's how we grow the businesses we want and achieve the outcomes we know we're meant to make. If you're ready to really understand yourself better and stop limiting behavior get a copy of the Entrepreneurial Personality Type book - freemomentumbook.com

388 - Fight or Flight Revisited

As human beings, if we face any sort of threat or attack we can flip into fight or flight mode. As Evolutionary Hunter's, we are more susceptible to fight or flight mode than the average person. If you're stuck in this fight or flight mindset it becomes exponentially more difficult to grow a business, lead a team, and see your future clearly. There is nothing you can do to totally eliminate fight or flight. It is a natural instinct, but, there are ways that you can handle it more effectively. Focus on breathing, nutrition, hydration, and movement. If you put more gas in your tank and take care of yourself properly the physiological reactiveness goes down and that is crucial for people like us who want to push the limits every day. If you're ready to achieve physiological, cognitive, and chemical momentum head to momentummasterclass.com

389 - Plan to Make the Team you Have Better

Are you holding your team back? It might surprise you to know that most entrepreneurs are. When you don't have a strategic plan and you can't tell your team where the business is going, you end up being the biggest bottleneck in your business. Less than 1% of entrepreneurs like you and I have a forward-looking strategic plan that they can explain to their team. Planning is crucial to your success and calms entrepreneurial anxiety. If you don't plan, you commit to slowing your team down. Start 2019 with more momentum in your career than you've ever had. Plus, learn how to create a personal plan to achieve more in a year than you ever thought you could. www.momentummasterclass.com

390 - Don't Hire Blind

As entrepreneurs, we want to see the biggest results in the shortest period of time. One of the biggest issues with this is when we skip steps, whether intentionally or by accident, in critical processes. When it comes to hiring if you skip steps, things do not turn out well. You risk yourself, your organization, and in some cases even your reputation. Anyalyze your business, bring in the right person for the job and you're going to crush it. If you want to have a world class team that achieves more than you ever thought possible, and if you want to build a team without sacrificing your life then reach out to us. billionairecode.com/apply

391 - Accolades Create Momentum

This is a really important lesson for every entrepreneur out there, including me. In my twenties, I had the belief system that if I told anybody that they were doing a good job, that they would get complacent. So, all I did as a leader was tell people what they were doing wrong. If you're treating your team in a way that's punitive, if you're not acknowledging all the amazing things they do, you are creating a massive amount of stress between you and your team members. This is one of those changes of behavior that takes faith on your part but I promise that you achieve so much more momentum with positivity rather than negativity.  You absolutely can have the team you've always wanted. Go to billionairecode.com/apply we're ready to help you make your biggest outcome. 

26 Apr 09:14

392 - Stop Having Meetings

The fact that a lot of us can't stand meetings is valid. Meetings, for the most part really don't feel productive or help us get anything done. Let's be honest, most people think meetings suck.  Stop having meetings. Meetings are ambiguous, in our company, we instead have targeted interactions. I love meeting with my team.  Escape the constraint of meetings and start having targeted interactions so that time with your team will create momentum. If you want to understand not just the concept of targeted interactions but how to strategically plan so that everyone on your team knows where you're going, reach out to us at billionairecode.com/apply

393 - Policies Over Judgement

When you start growing your business, you are the one that makes all the decisions.  As your business expands, you need to turn your judgment calls into policies. You want to move towards policies that are clear, consistent, and trainable.  One of the fastest way to have your team be able to duplicate your decision making is to put policies in place.  Policies are a massive bridge to growing your business way beyond where it is today. We help companies just like yours to build empires, reach out to us today - billionairecode.com/apply

394 - Why Most Goals Are Losers

No one likes to feel like a failure. I have a really hard time understanding why so many people consistently set themselves up to miss the mark. I am a goal achievement expert. One of the biggest challenges I face with entrepreneurs is this notion that your goals have to be unbelievably crazy, unrealistic, and high in the sky. Here's the problem, that may work when you're on your own, but when you have a team, it just doesn't. Teams do not like to lose. 

26 Apr 09:14

395 - Consistent Leaders Win

I know that my approach to business coaching is different from anything else out there. I see both sides of the story. The entrepreneur and the team. There are 3 top complaints from teams about entrepreneurs. The direction of the company changes too often, there is not enough and communication, and there are inconsistencies with how things work. They feel like they can't win. The more consistently you lead your team, the more your team and your company, will succeed. If you're ready to have a team that gives you the protection and support you need so you can achieve at the highest level, go to billionairecode.com/apply

396 - No Career is Perfect

I have not had a perfect career.  No coach should claim to have the perfect career.  We learn from the mistakes we make and the challenges that we have had to overcome in our lives. I am a better coach because I've had to work through the tough times myself. From being a young successful consultant to entering early retirement, from an explosive property portfolio to bankruptcy, and climbing my back to the top again.  I want to share with you my career background, right from the beginning, with all the bumps in the road along the way. You don't need to be perfect, just try to make progress.  I will always share with you my mistakes, so you don't have to make them in the same way.

397 - Trust is a Superpower

Business is full of uncertainty, that's why having trust in the people around you is so crucial.  Every so often I share this quote, "If you've lost trust in the person you are working for, quit.  If you've lost trust in the person working for you, fire them.  Neither improves with time". I 100% believe that this is true. Trust is a superpower. Let us show you how to get more out of every member of your team and build a company that makes you feel protected and supported by the people around you every single day. billionairecode.com/apply

398 - Congratulate in Public, Correct in Private

If you correct your team in a public setting, it drains their motivation and makes them feel attacked. You get leverage when you congratulate your team in public and correct in private.  By simply waiting and giving correction in private you show respect and streamline communication in a way that makes everything easier.  You want every one of your team members to be confident and excited about what they're doing. You want your team to rocket forward with momentum.

399 - Track Driving and Business Growth

Learning how to drive fast on a race track has taught me so many lessons about how to run a business.  I know, that sounds crazy but stick with me.  Anyone who knows me can tell you I like to do things fast, I like to grow business fast and I especially love to drive fast.  In my years of racing, I've drawn so many parallels between my experiences on the track and my experiences in my businesses. I want to share some of my lessons with you.  If you're ready to create momentum and if you're ready to get your personal life in order and be congruent with your business you should check out momentummasterclass.com

400 - Why we Focus on Negatives

As Entrepreneurial Personality Types, we all like to think that we're positive & motivated thinkers.  But, if we're honest, most entrepreneurs have a bias for improvement, we're drawn to the negatives.   We look for the deficits and vulnerabilities as a survival mechanism. If you as an entrepreneur feel like you're in a place where your thinking is negatively based, you are expressing a survival instinct. When you have the tools you need to look at things positively and get out of the negative bias for survival, everything will change for you. If you're ready to turn your business around, we have an event coming up in January that could be just what you need.  Go to billionairecodesummit.com and you can find more information on the event.

401 - Get your Team in the Zone

I'm considered by many, a very talented entrepreneur. Here's the reality I know about myself, if I can't delegate it and get help with it, it's probably not getting done. That's why I build a team around me.  I communicate with my team and allow them to work in their zone of genius so we can achieve the greatest outcomes together. If you feel like you're having to motivate your team on a daily basis it's probably because you have an imbalance of where people are on the team and what they're doing. If you build a team of true believers that are working in their zones, they will carry you!  It's possible to grow your ultimate dream team. It's exactly what we help people to do.  Go to billionairecode.com/apply and get on a call with me or my team.

402 - Application Over Knowledge

There's more free information available to us in the entrepreneurial world today than there has ever been before. But, is that really a good thing? There's so much information out there that people have forgotten that application trumps knowledge every time.  You can be the smartest person in the world but if you're not doing anything with it, then who cares?  You need to absorb the content and actually apply it to make a difference in your own life.

403 - Holiday Fight or Flight

It's currently Christmas holidays and I've been spending time with my family in San Francisco.  It's been so amazing to see everyone and spend some time together.  The holidays are a great time of year but if I'm being totally honest it's also a set up for the perfect storm. There are lots of massive expectations swirling around and it can be a stressful time of high pressure and noise. It's easy to get caught up and spend your whole holiday in a state of panic and run yourself down. You don't have to lean into what the rest of the world does during the holidays, in fact, you can use this as a time to make massive gains on everyone around you. If you want next year to be the biggest year of your life and your career, go to momentummasterclass.com and let me show you exactly how to plan your next year.

404 - Achieve Your Goals

There’s this theory that when we set unachievable and huge goals that it will somehow motivate us. Everyone’s heard a so-called “motivational speaker” say something like  “write down the biggest number you could ever imagine making, and then cross it out, and double it”.  These people claim to be “goal setting experts” but, they’re not going to stick around and help you actually achieve the outcomes you’re going after. They get you all hyped up and excited but in reality, they’re setting you up for failure. Most people never reach the goals that they set because they don’t clearly define them or even seriously consider them to be believable or achievable.

405 - 2018 Recap - Where are we now?

What happened last year for me, my family, and my business? Here's my 2018 recap. A big part of the past year for me was working on breaking through barriers, putting myself out there and just being real and transparent. I went deep into our content and applied it obsessively to both my business and my personal life, I wanted to make sure that what we teach people really works. There are too many people out there who put together programs and coaching that they never even try for themselves. There were a lot of highlights and things that I'm proud of from 2018. I also recognize where I can improve and I know I can work on those things in 2019. I'm excited to see what this new year brings and I can't wait to share all our successes and challenges with you. If this podcast means something to you, please share it with your friends. I appreciate you. Happy new year.

406 - Finance and Accounting Certainty

Let's get real, when you saw that this episode was about finance and accounting, you probably thought about skipping through it.  The vast majority of small business owners can't stand talk about the numbers and don't have clean financials on a monthly basis. Not knowing exactly where you stand financially is one of the biggest foundational issues in business. You need to know where your money is going, down to the very last cent.  That knowledge will absolutely change the way you run your business.  If you'd like to gain a new perspective, grow and scale your business, and make 2019 the biggest year you've ever had, let's do this! Reach your maximum potential - billionairecode.com/apply  NOTE: In this podcast I mention the name of a service firm that we used to work with for our outsources finance and accounting.  We no longer work with that firm so rather than eliminate this episode where is a tremendous amount of value, instead we decided to just remove the name of the firm from the audio.

407 - Fully Utilize Or Else

If you have someone in your business who is not fully utilized, they will become dangerous. They don't have a focus or an outcome, so they'll start questioning things within the business. When people are fully utilized they focus at a much higher level. The most vulnerable person in any business is always the person in charge. If your running a business, any issue is your issue. Don't create mutineers by not utilizing your team.  If you're ready to finally build the team and the organization you've been dreaming of, connect with us billionairecode.com/apply

408 - Reliving Embezzlement

This is a tough and personal subject for me but it's something I feel like I have a responsibility to share.  Here's a shocking statistic, 90% of entrepreneurs will be embezzled or stolen from.  No one wants to talk about it if it's happened to them but it's time to open up the conversation. You are allowed to talk about it, it's not your fault, and it's not anything that you did wrong. I hope by sharing my story and the lessons I learned, it will help you stop anything like this from happening in your life.

409 - Checking Boxes Instead of Getting Results

There's a huge difference between checking a box, and actually getting results. On an entrepreneurial team, you need to have near 100% of the people in your organization actually getting the results you're going after. It's easy to be impressed by a long list of completed tasks but if those tasks are not resulting in you achieving the outcomes you want, then it's time for something to change. If you're ready to realize your dream, we can help you build a team that will allow you to take advantage of the opportunities you have. - billionairecode.com/apply

410 - Maintain Mind-Body Connection

Sooner or later, every business owner encounters stressful situations. I've had some big challenges recently and when I'm feeling upset, hurt, or frustrated, I know that I need to rely on my mind-body connection to get me through. If you're spending your days feeling triggered and being constantly reactive, it's not good for you, your family, your team, or the clients you work with. You need to find a way to calm yourself down and get back to productivity.  There are a few ways I know I can do this for myself. A morning walk and meditation are game-changers, but possibly the simplest and most effective tool is hydration. When you're an entrepreneur and your day is packed it's easy to forget to drink water. When you're in transition and feel challenged, you need to maintain your natural thirst protocol. The shortcut is to hyperhydrate first thing in the morning, keep water with you all day long, and if you think, drink. It might sound crazy but I'm telling you, water is a gateway drug to success - Take the challenge getthirstynow.com

411 - Beware of Big Corporate when Hiring

Recruiting new team members is exciting, it means that your business is growing and you're moving forward.  When you're hiring and you get somebody who has come from a big name corporate company, you feel like you've hit the jackpot.  This person is going to solve all your problems. The challenge is, there is a massive difference between the way people work in large corporations and how entrepreneurial teams work. If you're hiring in your business I want you to be careful because you might think you're winning with the person from the large corporation with the impressive resume but there is a monumental shift that person will need to make in order to survive in your entrepreneurial business.  Let's start really growing your business fast - go to billionairecode.com/apply fill out the short application and connect with me or my team.

412 - Increased Process Lowers Client Anxiety

As entrepreneurs, we push back against process.  Process to us feels like constraint.  If we're not innovating and doing new things, we feel like we're not moving forward.  Let's just say, putting processes in place is not something that we naturally pursue. I know, I feel it too.  But, in your business, if you want your clients to have the highest levels of success, and the highest level of confidence in you, you must have tight processes in place.   If your processes are all over the place right now, this may be one of the biggest opportunities you have in your business. If you're ready to level up and scale at the maximum rate, then reach out to us.  billionairecode.com/apply - we're ready to help you, you don't have to do this alone.

413 - The Truth About Lawsuits

Lawsuits are ridiculous.  Here's the truth... If you're pushing limits as an entrepreneur, sooner or later you're probably going to end up in some sort of legal conflict.   When you get into a legal conflict, no matter what the official outcome, my contention is that everyone loses.  Do not take legal conflicts lightly. Lawsuits are a huge financial, emotional, and energetic drain in any business.  At the end of the day, no-one wins.

414 - Move to Create Momentum

"Sit down" "Stop moving and wiggling around" "Stop making everyone else uncomfortable" Every entrepreneur I've ever known, including me, has been told these things.  When you hear them often enough, you actually will stop moving.  Entrepreneurial suppression is real and you need to fight against it.  every single day I make a conscious effort to move. When you're strapped to a desk all day long both your body and your mind are in constraint.   Do what you need to keep moving. You have to move to create momentum. We take a holistic approach to helping entrepreneurs.  The Momentum Masterclass will put you into a community of people just like you and I.  It will teach you the keystone habits you need to optimize and get things done.  momentummasterclass.com

415 - Clear Space for Growth

People brag about hustling & how many crazy hours they're working every day. It's almost the status quo now to be proud of how overwhelmed you are.  If you own a business and you're growing that business, your behavior has to change. Most entrepreneurs are so busy and buried in the business that they never have time to create the space for what's coming.  Every day you should have a goal to get tactical items off your plate so you are no longer overwhelmed.  This is hard because it requires you to actually be vulnerable and ask for help.   Clear the space so you can grow into the opportunity you've created. Clear the space so you can be a CEO for the company you're building, not the company you had.  If you're ready to make the shift from tactical to strategic and start scaling your business then reach out to us. You can move forward far faster than you are today. billionairecode.com/apply

416 - When A Good Team Member Stops Performing

If you have a fast growth company and you have a team member who's been performing really well for months but all of a sudden isn't anymore, what do you do? I like to look at the situation rather than the person.  If you're growing quickly, your company is undergoing massive change.  The scoreboard has probably changed.  As your company grows things become less and less clear for your team unless you are consistently updating their outcomes and accountability.   As the leader of your organization, you have to ensure that every member of your team has clear outcomes, clear accountability & a scoreboard to measure their success. This is how you stop your top performers from falling through the cracks.  If you're ready to build a team of game changers, we're ready to help you.  Now's the time - billionairecode.com/apply

417 - 3 Metrics for Financial Success

Regardless of what business you're in, these are the numbers that you should be tracking constantly. Net Worth - How much value have you created for yourself in the world? Top Line Revenue - How much is your business grossing?  Overall Profitability - This one may seem simple but I'm blown away by how many entrepreneurs do not track their profitability. Take every dollar you've made, minus your expenses and you're left with your profitability figure.  I 100% believe that what you focus on expands.  When you're not giving your attention to your net worth, revenue, and overall profitability, your not focusing on the 3 numbers that you want to grow the most.  If you want to have an entirely different year this year than you've ever had before, sit down now and make the plan to track your numbers.  If you know you could be doing more if only you had better systems and structures in place, reach out to us.  you do not need to be doing this on your own.  billionairecode.com/apply

418 - Money is Not the Only Metric

Entrepreneurs want to earn money.  We don't just want to make a living, we want to achieve wealth and freedom. When we're tracking our success, money is most often the scoreboard we're working with. But, there are times when money is not the only metric that matters. When you take on a big project and there's not a big cheque at the end of it, it feels like a total failure, but, are there other gains that you can take away and count as a success?  What about experience, understanding, leadership skills, and perspective? Look at where the positives are and place your focus there. So often we beat ourselves up because money is the only metric we feel really matters. If you're going through a tough time right now and financially things aren't where you want them to be, rather than deny what's going on, sit down and ask yourself what are you currently gaining? If you're at the point where you want to make radical changes to the keystone habits that are moving your forward as an entrepreneur go to momentummasterclass.com

419 - With Kindness in your Voice

When you employ people and create a team, eventually you are going to have issues.  One of the toughest things to deal with as a leader is people issues, but sooner or later there will be a big problem and you are going to have to terminate someone. One of the biggest mistakes you can make as an employer is to speak negatively about past employees to your current team. The rest of your team is watching to see how you react to losing someone.  When you react and share the news to your current team with kindness, you make your team feel safe.  You show that you care about them and that you cared for the person that you had to terminate.  If you have to make a personal change, share it with your team with kindness in your voice.  Be transparent with them and honor the absent.  Building a team isn't easy.  If you're a CEO who's building a team and you want help to move forward as fast as possible, reach out to us -billionairecode.com/apply

420 - Tidying Up

I never imagined I would share a podcast about cleaning your house.  I have been following the Marie Kondo method and it has changed my life. Stick with me, this method is a very specific way of purging your house and creating crazy organization. I believe every one of us must consistently and consciously lower the pressure and noise in our lives so that we can move forward and progress.  This method of tidying up teaches you to identify what you really do and do not like and what you really do and do not need in your life.  I have a recommendation for you, try the Marie Kondo method.  You can buy the book or watch the Netflix series.  I would love for you to see what it's all about and teach yourself to tolerate less.  Let me know on social media what you think!

421 - Find A Thing, Not The Thing

Today I have been speaking at the CapCon Conference in Dallas. After my talk I had someone approach me to thank me.  They said that while listening to me speak, something clicked for them.  They realized that they've been wasting so much time trying to work out what the perfect thing is that they need to do to get started, but, really they just need to do something, anything. Far too many of us are not in momentum, not chasing something or doing anything.  Momentum anywhere creates momentum everywhere.  Pick the target, chase it down, and crush it. You just have to start.  Check out momentummasterclass.com - we'll help you find your momentum and help keep you there.

422 - Delegation is a Process not a Mindset

Delegation will change everything for you, but, it's not a mindset, it's a process.  There comes a time in your career where you realize the momentum that you can create on your own, is not enough.  You need help and you need to delegate your work to achieve the outcomes that you really want. Everyone today is looking for a hack.  What are the quick fixes? How can you just give someone work and have them get it done? The reality is it's going to take a bit of effort.    You need process, systems, and structures so that you can grow your business and have team members contribute in a way that actually moves things forward.  Delegation is a process. Once you understand it, everything in your business will go faster.  If you're ready to take the team you have today and make them exponentially more productive, reach out to us and let us help you. billionairecode.com/apply

423 - Don't Let Fight Or Flight Stop You

Fight or flight mode is a natural response to stressful or challenging situations.  You can stay in it and try and push through your days, but you will pay the consequences.   My advice is to not get stuck.  Break out of fight or flight mode as soon as possible.  So how do you get back on track?  There are three strategies that I use every single day to put gas back in the tank.  One - Hydrate like you never have before. Water is a gateway drug to success. Two - Move your body.  Take a primal walk every morning and calm your body.  Three - Meditate. Learn how to be present and aware. As entrepreneurs, we're not going to stop or slow down. So, we need to learn some tactics to make sure that we can operate at full capacity.  I want you to accomplish everything you've ever wanted, but I also want you to take care of yourself along the way.  Go to momentummasterclass.com and learn how to increase your productivity without sacrificing yourself.

424 - In Defense of the Daily Huddle

Do you have a Daily Huddle with your team? I have helped hundreds of entrepreneurs grow their businesses from 6 to 7 figures and 7 to 8 figures, and the Daily Huddle is one of the most important tools they use. A Daily Huddle is a place for team building, giving people connection, and recognition. It's something I believe you have to do live, in person.   Maybe you could run it through an app or a system. But, that's cold and has no human connection. It's a shortcut that I think will cost you in the long run. Do not miss the Huddle. Are you ready to achieve more with your team?  Let us show you how with proven systems and a structure that will help you scale your business fast.  billionairecode.com/apply

425 - What No-one Will Tell You

As entrepreneurs, we tolerate too much. As a result, too often, we get into relationships  (personal and business) that are totally wrong and stay in them for much longer than we should. Throughout my career, I've seen over and over again, entrepreneurs stuck in abusive relationships.  This is a really tough and personal topic for me to discuss, I questioned if I should even do this episode, but, I live a life of transparency and I share my experiences with you to hopefully help you avoid mistakes that I've made previously in my own life.  If you know you're in an abusive relationship or you have a suspicion that you might be, let me give you some insight and tell you what no-one else will.  If this episode resonates with you and you want some more information on this topic you can check out 'Entrepreneurs and Abusive Relationships' (Episode 357) www.momentumpodcast.com

426 - Creating Leadership Role Clarity

Last week I held the Billionaire Code Summit. The people at my events and in my programs, all have one thing in common, they all have an opportunity that's big enough that they've decided to build a team around it.    There's an issue that came up over and over again at the Summit and  I want to share this one with you because I think it's one of the biggest points of leverage that you have when you start growing a team.    Here it is - You have to have clarity around the leadership roles in your business. If you don't, it's near impossible to scale without pain.  If there's no clarity at the leadership level it will cause instability for your growing team and for you.  A lack of clarity results in people having lower levels of commitment and competency in their role.  Having total clarity will allow everyone on your team to go all in and increase momentum like crazy. If you're ready to start building a real infrastructure for your company and show your team where you're really going, stop being the biggest bottleneck in your company.  Take a second to go through the Billionaire Code application.  billionairecode.com/apply

427 - Surviving The Seven Figure Transition

When I hit one million dollars, my life changed. But, not in the ways that I had expected.   When you start a business, the most important person is you. You have to do everything. You are the company.   The challenge as you grow your company is that you have to go from doing everything to being able to lead everything. It's not clear to most people what a dramatic transition that is.    My goal is to see you grow your business to seven figures and beyond, don't stop for anything.    If you're ready to grow your business fast and stop doing everything yourself, reach out to us - billionairecode.com/apply    We have coaching programs for businesses from around 300k - join us

428 - Consistency Beats Grand Gestures

When it comes to moving your life forward, consistency will beat grand gestures every single time.   As entrepreneurs, we have this belief that if we're not making some type of grand gesture or massive commitment that it just doesn't matter.  Here's what I want you to know, consistency, making little things happen every day, is so much more important and effective.  The path to bigger results and outcomes is actually easier than we make it.  Make small changes to your daily habits to move forward faster.  Consistency is the true path to success. If you're ready to become more consistent on all the keystone habits that create success for entrepreneurs, check out momentummasterclass.com - learn exactly where you should focus right now to create progress.

You cannot get used to things being the same.  On the ride from 3million to 10million, you have to be able to adapt in a heartbeat if you want to take advantage of all your opportunities.

430 - Stop Fighting Transition

Being an entrepreneur means committing to a life of change.  If things feel safe and comfortable, you've probably stopped moving forward and stopped creating momentum. Too many entrepreneurs fight the changes, but, if you do this, your really fighting your company growth. To move from a startup to long term growth you have to change 100% of the things that you do. Lean into the transitions and the things that make you uncomfortable,  these are the things that will ultimately move you forward. If you're ready to create more momentum than you ever have and leap through the transitions that the average entrepreneur gets stuck in, grab a copy of my book The Entrepreneurial Personality Type.  I want you to understand yourself better than you ever have before. freemomentumbook.com

431 - The Magic of Weekly Reports with Brad Gibb

Weekly reporting can completely change how you lead and manage your team. Today I'm talking with Brad Gibb from Cash Flow Tactics (cashflowtactics.com) about how it felt to go from one million to a nearly 5 million run rate.  Weekly reporting has been a game-changer for Brad and his team.  Most entrepreneurs want to run and hide when they hear the words weekly reporting but you're about to hear first hand why this kind of reporting is different to anything you have experienced before. This is going to be interesting!

432 - Trust But Verify

It happens to every talented entrepreneur, eventually, the momentum we can create on our own is no longer enough.  If you have opportunities in front of you that are big enough and significant enough, you will have to involve a team. Trust but verify in entrepreneurial management is absolute. Trust the people around you but verify the entire way along that you are getting what you want.  I believe that the majority of issues in businesses actually stem from communication problems. Put systems in place so you know what's going on with your team and the work that they are producing for you.  You can not grow a business without learning how to effectively communicate with the people around you.  If you know you need the structure and the systems to be put in place so you can move forward go to billionairecode.com/apply

433 - Sleep Shortcut Nightmare

Let's be honest, sleep can be frustrating. A lot of entrepreneurs, if they could, would continue to build and grow and skip sleep altogether. I am obsessed with sleep. It is so incredibly important. A good nights sleep is what allows you to be present and aware. If you don't sleep, you are impaired.  Skipping sleep is not a success strategy, it is a desperation strategy.  If you are not fully present and aware you are putting yourself in constraint and you are going to negatively impact your health, your life, your business, and your team.  Self-care is a shortcut to success. If you're ready to put the keystone habits into your life that will support you and help you create success, I want to help you. momentummasterclass.com

434 - Titles Matter

If you're going to scale a business fast, titles matter. There are a lot of new age ways to run a business, I consider myself to be very progressive in how I operate my business, but, there are some structures that you just need to stick with.   You need to have a title for every person in your company. If you're an entrepreneur you need to respect titles in your business.  They create clarity, seniority, and authority.  When you know where everyone in your organization stands, and your team understands, it makes running your entire business easier.  Do you need to identify the brick walls that are between you and where you want to be?

If you want to grow and scale, add value to the world, and create the impact you know you can make, you have to stop selling your time and build a team around you.  If you want to move faster than you feel like you can on your own, let us help you.  Go to billionairecode.com/apply  Feel the momentum of having support around you.

There are clear patterns of what happens in businesses as they grow.  I've scaled tons of businesses, there's been successes and failures, and lots of lessons learned.  Here's what I've seen people do over and over again, and we have recently done in our company, to create massive success... delivery reset Around the million dollar mark, we completed a total delivery reset.  This means ensuring that your delivery is consistent, predictable, and the same for everyone you come into contact with.  To do this, it often means that you need to slow down in order to be able to go fast.  If you're ready to reset but you don't know how to do it on your own, go to billionairecode.com/apply and jump on a call with a member of my team.

437 - Rule Number One

What is the one thing entrepreneurs should do to achieve long term success and happiness? Rule number one, if you're married, put your marriage first.  There's so much pressure and noise that builds up when you don't communicate what's going on for you with your partner.  If you aren't honest with your spouse, it's really hard for them to gain perspective and relate to you and support you. You cannot compartmentalize your success and your marriage.  In a lot of ways, your spouse is your superpower.  They can see and understand things in you that you may not be able to see yourself.  The sooner you're willing to admit and appreciate the power your marriage has, the faster you'll start achieving at the level you want.   We are going to be releasing the Relationship Cadence very soon. If you want a preview of what it's going to be like you can check out the Communication Cadence in Momentum Masterclass. www.momentummasterclass.com

438 - Hold Finance and Accounting Accountable

There are very few entrepreneurs who love accounting and finance.  For must of us, looking at the numbers is something that makes us feel uncomfortable.  If that's where you are right now, you are not alone. Personally, we use an outsourced finance and accounting company. This is generally a fantastic option for us, however, you still need to be involved and paying close attention.  If something doesn't look for feel right, call out your finance team.  Question them so that you understand what is really going on. Make sure that you hold them accountable.  It is the job of your finance team to make you feel comfortable and to make sure that you understand exactly what's happening with your money.

439 - Simplicity > Complexity

If your business is too complicated, you cannot consistently scale, get help and build success.  It's time to simplify. A few years ago I had to simplify my business.  I had to think about what is what I really wanted to do and what I could do successfully and consistently. For me, it was focusing on the EPT and helping entrepreneurs to grow and scale their businesses.  My passion is helping entrepreneurs take advantage of opportunities that may have seemed too big for them in the past.  That's the problem I can solve.  Where is your focus? If it's in too many different places you need to scale down the complexity. Make it easy and your business will grow faster.

440 - Keep Hustling or Quit?

I am at Funnel Hacking Live 2019.  This is the most incredible event. Tons of people here are just starting a business but I'm chatting today to a friend of mine who has just shut down a business. Sometimes you have to make the choice to close one door, so you can kick a whole lot of new doors open. A lot of entrepreneurs are in the place where they're thinking "Do I keep going or do I quit" It takes a huge amount of entrepreneurial awareness to recognize when something isn't feeling right and that you need to pull back in some way.  Is your business increasing the pressure and noise in your life? Do you feel fulfilled, like you're living the life you want? If you're not getting what you want, it's time to get some help.  Go to billionairecode.com/apply

441 - Entrepreneurial Trauma

How do you offload entrepreneurial trauma? Have you ever heard of or tried EMDR therapy? This is not your standard talk therapy, I don’t think that ever works well for EPT’s, this is a tool to offload trauma and so much more. I use EMDR therapy.  I recommend it to my clients, to my friends, and to my family. I recommend it to the people I love and care about because it is so consistently successful. Admittedly, it might be risky as a business coach to advise people to get therapy, a lot of the people in my industry get up on a stage, present themselves as perfect and don’t want to talk about any flaws. That's not me.  I've always said on this podcast that I would be transparent and share the bad along with the good. Building a company is incredible but you must prepare for the pressure and noise that comes along with it. If you’re struggling right now, please consider doing this.  There’s no shame in admitting that you need some help. There’s only strength in reaching out and trying to make things better. If you want help to create the business you know that you’re capable of running, reach out to us billionairecode.com

442 - First Drafts Hoover

Your first draft of anything is not going to be that good, it's not going to be the final product that you end up with but you have to make a start somewhere. Get something out there as quickly as you can so that you can test it.  You can collect data, get feedback, and move forward to make your offering better.  Don't get caught in the mental analysis of "what do I need to do next" There is only so much that you can figure out without actually taking action. Pull the trigger, don't hold back. Perfection is the biggest enemy progress ever had. If you want to get into momentum as an entrepreneur, release the pressure of perfection. It's always messy in the beginning.  If you're ready to get into momentum in all areas of your life, check out Momentum Masterclass. momentummasterclass.com

443 - The Integrator Visionary Model

I beg entrepreneurs not to set up the visionary and integrator system in thier businesses.  This dynamic just doesn't work long term. It's a huge liability. As a CEO you don't want just one single person who's responsible for your entire team. You want to have direct contact with the main functions in your business and the things that are making it grow.  Instead, set up a business around who you are, create a cadence so you're communicating with your team within a structure.  If you want to see an entireley different way to run your business and help you climb the Billionaire Code, go to billionairecode.com

444 - Wayne Dyer and Walking

I've wanted to share this story for so long. Over 10 years ago I met one of my heroes, Wayne Dyer. The story of how we met is crazy and I'm so grateful for our meeting.  Wayne taught me a totally different way to work out and showed me how to get out of fight or flight mode on a daily basis.  If you're willing to listen I can't wait to tell you the strategies I learned that have been absolute game changers for me. Walking and hydration are two of the simplest keystone habits to put into your life to make it easier.  If you feel like you could be doing a little bit better with these things, go to getthristynow.com Create more body and mind connection in your life than you ever thought possible.

445 - Choreograph Your Meetings

If you don't have a clear structure of how your meetings run, things get confusing very quickly. The people on your team are not going to understand the outcomes and you're going to lose time in your organization. The way to fix this is to have a set structure that can be repeated over and over again for all your meetings.  The more effort you put into setting up communication structures, the faster the people on your team will understand where they're going.  People need to communicate with each other effectively to achieve joint goals. Put in place systems that facilitate fast, effective and clear communication, these are the systems that change everything. If this sounds like something you want and need in your business, let us help you. billionairecode.com

446 - Regular Team Check-Ins Matter

Awesome companies don't just exist on their own.  Awesome companies come about when you have incredible people who all decide to work in the same place. I didn't always understand this, especially when I first started growing businesses and it damaged my growth. I don't want that to happen to you. You need systems in place to nurture and grow your people.  Here's a simple way to make sure the people on your team are getting the attention they need.  Have regular weekly check-ins. This is how you can honestly and confidently say that you are looking after the people on your team.  The people on your team are growing your business for you, give them some time and you'll be shocked at what you get back. Make the impact you know you're capable of, take a minute now and go to billionairecode.com

447 - True Believers to Superfans

In my career, I've been fortunate enough to have hired a lot of true believers. But you have to maintain and improve the true believer status or they may turn against you. I want you to attract true believers and learn how to keep them. If you develop your true believers properly your business will explode.   Your best people want to win, they want you to win.  They need to know where the company is going. They need to communicate within a system that's safe and predictable and the need clear scoreboards so everyone has perspective about what's going on. If you want to make an impact in a way that's exciting and rewarding, do it with true believers around you.  billionairecode.com to grow your business faster and get your own team of true believers.

448 - Gossip Kills Momentum

Gossip is one of the most destructive forces in any organization. Gossip slows everything down. I suggest that everyone has a no-gossip policy in their business, but you have to understand that adhering to this policy has to come from the top. In the business, I ran when I was younger, I was one of the biggest sources of gossip there was.  When I look back with perspective, I can see why the people I worked with didn't feel safe and why I didn't feel safe.  You have to be the best example of the no-gossip policy in your business.  A company where gossip is part of the culture is damaging for leadership and for team members.  A company where gossip is part of the culture will have a hard time growing. If you're ready to start building your business fast right now, go to billionairecode.com

449 - Process Is Not An Imposition

I think it's natural to be resistant to process but you also need to understand and recognize that it's near impossible to scale a business effectively, long term, without actually creating process documentation. Everywhere area you're investing time, effort, energy and money should have processes built around them.  You may feel that implementing processes can be an imposition but for your team, they crave it! It gives them predictability and makes them feel safe and confident that they can complete their job.  If you don't have processes in place you will always be exposed. The same mistakes will continue to happen and you will continue to miss the same things every time.  Stop fighting process, you don't need to.  Process is going to liberate you.  The earlier you put processes in place the better.  Process in business will help you scale far faster and with less pain and anxiety.  if you have a business and you're growing a team, I have a free Facebook group called Billionaire Code.  We share information and there's a great group of entrepreneurs there.  If you're interested come and join our community - Billionaire Code Facebook Group

450 - Stop Team Overwhelm

If your team is overwhelmed, your company is at risk. When your team is overwhelmed everything slows down. When your team is overwhelmed conflict goes up. When your team is overwhelmed, problem-solving skills go down. If you keep your team in a state of overwhelm, you're going to get way less out of all of them. If you leave it too long, they will leave. I know because I've lost some incredible people in the past because they eventually broke.   Losing great people who are helping you to build your dream is incredibly challenging. I don't want that to happen to you. If your team is overwhelmed you have to commit to doing less. Practice extreme prioritization. What's really important?

451 - Why I Don't "do coffee"

I want to give you permission to stop "doing coffee" As you start creating success and gaining attention, you're met with an endless stream of requests to meet for casual interactions like coffee dates.  Possibly it could be an opportunity to collaborate but, most likely, it's going to be an unnecessary distraction for you. It's okay to say no, or, to ask for the details of what you're actually going to be meeting about so you can prioritize if this meeting is actually going to be beneficial to you.   This doesn't mean that you shouldn't spend time with other people.  I spend a ton of time with other people, but, it's strategic, pre-planned, intentional time that going to achieve an outcome. You don't want to get caught up in fake momentum. Your time is your most valuable asset, don't waste it.  If you're ready to create more momentum and be among entrepreneurs who are doing the same thing, check out my free Billionaire Code Facebook group. It's an incredible community, we're looking forward to having you in the group.

452 - You Must Measure Momentum

I've tried to record this podcast multiple times over the past few months.  It's been a hard episode to record because it's tough to share pain and be vulnerable. A few years back I was doing so much. I was speaking at events and connecting with entrepreneurs, but not actually receiving results.  I was confusing the activities I was doing and the attention I was receiving with momentum. I was feeling productive but I wasn't really being productive or getting measurable results.  I woke up one morning and realized that I needed to start applying my own content and measure if I was actually making an impact.  If you want to be in momentum you need three things. You need to have a clear outcome, clear accountability and a scoreboard that matters.  If you're in that place right now where you're confused and frustrated because you're doing the activities, you're doing all the things you feel like you should be doing but you're not getting into momentum, you are not alone.  You need to figure out where you're going and get a scoreboard in place as soon as possible.  If you're ready to scale and grow your business the same way we're growing ours, go to billionairecode.com Let us show you what's standing in the way of you getting where you want to go and how to move forward with momentum.

453 - Stop Hiding Who You Are

For the Entrepreneurial Personality Types out there, the people like you and me, we sometimes have a hard time just being ourselves.  I want you to know that any attempt to be anything other than yourself is just going to cause you more pressure and noise. I spent way too long pretending to be somebody else and hiding who I really was. I can tell you from first-hand experience that every challenge you have has created a massive strength on the other side.   Be true to yourself to create the success you really want.  I want to thank you for being a listener of the Momentum Podcast.  If you'd like to interact a little more with me I have a free Facebook group - Billionaire Code - I'd love for you to join.

454 - Increased Marriage Momentum

A lot of coaches avoid the topic of marriage, it's too personal and they don't want to be involved.  I'm one of those coaches that's with you for the long term. Your relationship has a direct effect on your business whether you'd like to admit it or not, so, I don't avoid it.  You will not sustain momentum in your business if you can't sustain momentum in your marriage.  Let that sink in.  As entrepreneurs, when things get overwhelming in our business, one of the places we will always sacrifice first is our marriage and relationships. Your marriage is the most foundational relationship in your life.  If you can improve things at the foundation, everything else will get better.  If you'd like to understand more of the strategies I've shared in this episode, go to momentummasterclass.com and check out the short presentation.

455 - Complaints Remove Constraints

When you get a complaint or negative feedback what do you do? Do you just delete the message and move on? Maybe you block the person if it's online?  I take a totally different approach to complaints. Back in 2009, I had a complaint made about me online. The person who made that complaint is now a great friend of mine and I'm grateful to him for making that complaint years ago in a way that was clear enough that I saw it and could make sure I could rectify the issue. I reached out and built a long-standing relationship from that complaint.   When you see a client complaint, don't get upset, get excited. Every complaint is an opportunity to turn things around and build a relationship. Every complaint is an opportunity for you to improve your business. Every complaint removes constraint.  If you're a listener of the podcast I would love it if you could leave a review on Itunes. If you've already left a review, please know that I appreciate you and thank you for being a listener and giving me your time every day.

456 - Your Team Shouldn't Fight For Your Time

When your team is fighting for your time, it's a symptom that there's a lot more going on. I remember how challenging it was when I was running businesses in my early twenties, to prioritize and have enough time for everyone on the team.  Back then I didn't have the systems, processes, and clarity to be able to feel like I was in control. The question of having enough time comes up often in my entrepreneurial groups, it's something a lot of business owners struggle with.  Being a business owner and a CEO does not mean that you have to sacrifice yourself to have a successful team and company.  If you're ready to feel in control and on top of your business, let us help you.  You don't have to fix everything on your own. Go to billionairecode.com - You'll get a copy of my free ebook and my team will organize a call with you so we can connect.

457 - Growing A Real Business

I'm excited today.  I'm excited personally, professionally, and I'm excited for you. I'm joined by a very special guest, Marley Baird - CEO of Marley Baird Media. Marley was the first member ever to join our Billionaire Code Accelerator program nearly a year ago and she is one of the most talented entrepreneurs that I have ever met. Marley recently said she now feels like she has a real company. A legitimate business. She said that it doesn't even feel like real life, she has an incredible team and gets to serve amazing clients every day.   A year ago, before Marley and I started working together, her business was stuck and wasn't really growing. Today her team and business have exploded - the growth has been insane.  Today Marley is seeing the results, she's making an impact and she's having fun with her business. If you have a message that needs to be shared with the world and you want exposure, get in touch with Marley - marleybairdmedia.com

458 - Accountants Are Terrible Advisers

One of the hardest things for people like you and I to do, is to reach out and ask for help. When you do finally ask, I want you to ask the right person, for the right kind of help. Accountants are terrible business advisers, they should not be a go-to for advice.  Now, you may think your accountant is the exception to the rule, they may be the one in a million, but I don’t believe it. We’re currently in that March/April timeframe where a lot of people are getting in contact with their business accountants and for some reason, entrepreneurs seem to have this bad habit of taking business advice from their accountants. I want you to think long and hard before you take any advice other than bookkeeping and financials from your accountant. If you’re looking to grow and scale your business and you need real-world experience and knowledge, reach out to us and let us show you how we can help.   billionairecode.com to set up a call with a member of my team.  Let's build you a plan to move forward. Don’t take bad advice from the wrong people.

26 Apr 09:12

459 - Turn Overwhelm Into Confidence

What's your overwhelm equation? Overwhelm comes from increased pressure and noise and unknown outcomes. The fastest way to get yourself out of overwhelm is to actually admit you're there.  Write down everything that's going on, look at it visually and ask yourself what is the logical next step.  Work out the first priority and create a partially known outcome. This is incredible and it works every single time.  Build your confidence one step at a time. Feeling overwhelmed is a natural part of being an entrepreneur so learning to overcome it can become a superpower.  If you're ready to turn your overwhelm into momentum that will work for you go to billionairecode.com

460 - Create A Daily Advantage

Don't we all wish we had the upper hand?  I know that I always want to hold the advantage in my market and in my everyday life. There is a simple way that you can start building your daily advantage.  It's a simple concept that you might have heard about before, but maybe not explained in this way.  I want to talk to you about morning routines.   If you have a morning routine that supports you and creates momentum, you will be blown away by what you can achieve.  Make your first hour your best hour and be energized for the whole day. Every day is game day for an entrepreneur so make every day count. If you're ready to create a morning routine but you're not quite sure where to start, you can check out mine.  Go to morning.charfen.com - Get inspired, take away some ideas, or even give my routine a try for yourself and see how it can help you.

461 - The Side Hustle

A lot of the business advice that I give is unconventional.  I give advice that's different, people think I'm different, and that's okay.  Like other business coaches, I want you to achieve ultimate success but, I do not believe in any way that you should sacrifice yourself along the way. I want you to build your empire and live a life free from pressure and noise. There's this perception that if you want to grow a successful business that you have to throw everything in at the beginning, burn all your other bridges and take no other options in order to move forward.  That's just not how it works. When you're trying to create those first few dollars or revenue, stability is going to help you a ton.  If you're working at a job and you're doing it as a side hustle while you're trying to build your own business, that's a good thing.  You have stability, you know your bills are paid and you're not in an emergency situation.  Starting a business puts you under incredible amounts of pressure.  Don't make it harder on yourself than it has to be. You make the rules, so make sure you can win. I want to help you build your business, get out of your job and pursue your full-time passion every single day.  www.momentummasterclass.com

462 - Why Planning Makes Us Uncomfortable

My team and I have just completed our quarterly planning. Planning is not easy for me and it's not easy for most entrepreneurs.  There's a reason that it makes us uncomfortable. When you are in the act of planning, you are making the admission that you do not yet have a clear outcome.  This is why so many of us avoid planning. It makes us feel frustrated and out of control.  If you can get used to that feeling of restlessness when you enter into a planning situation and push through to actually making your strategic plan, you will feel the weight lift off of your shoulders and you'll experience momentum like never before.  I want you to feel the clarity, confidence, and commitment that comes with effective planning.  Our personal planning cadence is in momentummasterclass.com check it out.  If you're a business looking to grow your team and need clarity around strategic planning on a larger scale go to billionairecode.com

463 - Slow Your Reaction Time

Reaction time has been a focus of mine for most of my life. If you're ever feeling triggered or upset or if something has provoked you, you should slow down your reaction time.  When we're triggered we want to move through it as quickly as possible but when you're an entrepreneur and you're dealing with other people, you need to take a deep breath and actually slow down. By responding to issues when you're feeling upset and frustrated you're going to leave yourself with a lot of clean up work and possibly broken relationships.  Triggered communication is almost always miscommunication. If this is something you struggle with and you need some more strategies to handle tough situations, take a look at our course momentummasterclass.com It'll teach you the keystone habits to be a successful entrepreneur but also how to show up in the right ways and be present and aware for yourself, your family, and everyone around you.

464 - Create Time Warping Momentum

At the end of each week do you wonder where the time went and what you actually achieved? In our company at the end of the week, it feels like it's been a month because my entire team just gets so much done each and every week. It feels like we're in a time warp. When you don't drive pace through process, any momentum you get will be temporary. Having a strategic plan that your whole team sees and understands means consistent forward growth.   The business that we have today was started completely new in July 2017. Today we are under 2 years old and we are experiencing insane success because we have the right systems and processes in place. Every business can do this, you can do this. We are experiencing time warping momentum and you can too.  You've got this and if you want some help go to billionairecode.com fill out a short application and we can show you what to focus on right now and what you need to focus on next.

465 - You Shouldn't Scale Complexity

The more you can simplify your business, the faster you can scale your business. When you first start out everything looks like an opportunity. You take on too many different options and before you know it you're running an overly complicated business with far too many deliverables. What you have to realize is that to grow a long term successful business you have to learn how to say yes to the opportunities with the highest likelihood of success and no to the rest.  It's hard, there's no denying it, but this is the path to growth and the massive impact that you want to make. Simplify the business and make it easier on yourself.  Don't follow the rules, make your own so you can win. If you'd like some help to simplify your business so you can grow and scale faster, go to billionairecode.com

466 - Stop Micromanaging With Confidence

You need to get over building processes. Here's what I mean, too many entrepreneurs see processes as rules and red tape.  We don't want someone to tell us how to do things over and over again the same way.  The challenge is, if your team doesn't have processes then you are going to get stuck permanently in transactional management. That is brutal, it feels like you have more people on the team but you're working harder. Entrepreneurs fight process like crazy but when your team gets a hold of it they can move forward like never before. When a process is used in the right way it sets you free. Without process, you will have to micromanage every person on your team.  I want you to have more confidence in your business and to make the impact that you know you're destined to make. I'm going to share something with you that will give you an idea of just how crucial process is. If you go to morning.charfen.com - It's a personal process for building a documented morning routine. This will give you an idea of just how magical process can be.

467 - Fake Success Takes Away Momentum

We are all part of the social media experiment.  We live in this world that is so overexposed, social media has created an entirely new dynamic to the way that we interact and communicate with each other.  Entrepreneurs now feel multiple types of pressure. There's the pressure to succeed but there's also the pressure to appear successful on social media. We now feel that we need to be putting out this image that we're always happy and things are always great, at the same time as building our businesses.  Here's my argument, too many entrepreneurs are spending a ton of their time, effort and cash to LOOK successful, and if they re-routed that into actual activities that create success, they would get there.  The energy it takes to look successful could actually be used to build real success.  Creating fake momentum and fake status will only cause you pressure and noise that will slow you down.  If you want more momentum than you ever thought possible check out momentummasterclass.com

468 - The Hidden Cost Of Success

What's the real price of success and how can you afford it?  Most people will not tell you that you need a lot more money than you think to build a successful business. It's just a fact of growing -- you're going to need cash. The more money you make, the more challenges you have and those challenges require money.   The information that I want to give you before you have to rudely learn it for yourself is that when you run a business you need to stack cash and make more money than you ever thought you needed.  If you don't do this you will be caught off guard.   When you build success you'll have expenses that you never could have anticipated. Don't ever set up your business so that you break even. Start thinking bigger. If you're ready to get some help to create success and you want to know the real facts about what it takes to get there, join us. Go to billionairecode.com

469 - Avoid Fishing Expeditions

Protect your focus like your life depends on it because it does.  I avoid fishing expeditions like the plague and you should too. They are an absolute waste of your time. Stop allowing people to fish and have you be something that they catch.  Here's what you should do. Create a strategic plan, know where you're going, commit to it and understand what it is you need.  You should put up barriers to protect yourself from other people who are trying to get lucky. There's an epidemic of this going on because social media has made it so easy for anyone to reach out and get access to you.   If you have a plan and you know where you're going, then you already know exactly what and who you need to acquire to achieve your outcome.   Do you have a plan to focus on that gets you up in the morning and makes you excited about your day?  If you'd like to have that you don't have to do it alone.  Go to billionairecode.com  Resources Mentioned: https://charfen.com/TimeStudy

470 - Don't Sell Ice To Eskimos

You want to protect yourself from salespeople who try to close every single deal.  You don't want a salesperson who tries to sell ice to Eskimos. I know this sounds counterintuitive but stick with me. As an entrepreneur, you want to sell to the right people 100% of the time.  Not everyone is the right avatar for you.  When you sell only to the right people, you get consistent results. When you build a legacy of consistent results, you become the market leader in your category.  Doing this any other way is going to cause you massive unnecessary pressure and noise. If you're selling the right product to the wrong client, you will not grow. If you're ready to start building your business fast, reach out to us. Go to billionairecode.com -- Let us show you how to grow like crazy and make the dent in the universe you know you should.

471 - Stop Faking It

“Fake it until you make it” You’ve probably heard this phrase, it’s said all the time.  It’s one of the most toxic phrases thrown around in the entrepreneurial world today. When you fake it, you are putting up a wall between yourself and the people around you who can actually help you. When you fake it, you repel the people around you and drive them away. When you’re real and grounded, people see and hear you in an entirely different way. Vulnerability might make you feel small, but when you show vulnerability to other people it makes you look stronger and more capable. True connection comes from sharing your truth.  If you’re ready to make your greatest contribution and lower the pressure noise around you, let me help you. Momentum Masterclass is designed to help entrepreneurs going through massive transitions not just survive, but thrive and grow - momentummasterclass.com

472 - Storybrand Simplicity

This week Cadey and I are attending the Donald Miller Storybrand conference. We're only one day into the conference and we have already gained so much.   You'll often hear me talk about lowering the complexity within your business.  This is something that has been reinforced for me this week. Simplicity is the key.  There's an epidemic today of entrepreneurs who are doing too much. When you spread yourself too thin, you're not going to be able to innovate and create the momentum you want. When you keep things simple you can create massive focus and that's how businesses explode.  If you're not growing maybe you've said yes to way too much. Not everything is an opportunity. Are you ready to grow your business faster? The best way to set up a call with my team and get some more information for yourself is to head to billionairecode.com

473 - Simplicity Scales Faster

Success creates deficits and growth creates complexity. As your business grows and scales things are inevitably going to become more complicated.  Don't make the growth period harder than it needs to be. This week I've been at the StoryBrand Conference and the biggest thing I'm taking away is the idea of simplicity.  Simplicity in messaging, execution and delivery.  How simple can you make your business? This is something that I preach to my clients all the time and this event has just reinforced the way I feel about how entrepreneurs should grow businesses.  If you're ready to start growing your business and build the team that will help you grow, it's simple.

474 - The One On One Disadvantage

A question that I get often is, “Alex, how can I work one on one with you?” Today, the option to work one on one with me other than at some points through our coaching program is very rare. The reason I can’t do one on one is because I’ve scaled a team around the result that I get for entrepreneurs. The reason that I can consistently get the results for my clients is because of my team and the processes that we have built. What I used to do one on one could have taken 6-12 months.  It takes me along with my team 1 month to 3 months. I can be a more effective coach when I have a team working alongside me. I can offer my clients so much more than when I operated alone. The results my clients are achieving are far greater because they have the backing of me and a team. You probably don’t want one on one coaching, you just want the results.  If you’re at the point where you have an incredible opportunity in front of you but you don’t know what to do next, go to billionairecode.com

475 - You are Constantly Outgrowing your Team

I call it the entrepreneurs dilemma -- We know that we need more help than the average person to reach our full potential but, any request for help makes us feel vulnerable and exposed.  Ask for help and building a team is hard. Then you have to take it to the next level where you are actually helping your team to grow themselves.  You have to help your A-players develop so that you don't end up outgrowing your team. Lower the overwhelm your team feels and they will be able to produce their best work for you. Invest in your team and develop them so that they can continue to support you as your company grows. If you help your team grow with you, you're going to be far more successful in the long run. Please take a second if you can to leave a review for the Momentum Podcast. I would love to see what you think and share it with my team. I appreciate you and thank you for being a listener every day.

476 - You Can't Hide Your Energy

I feel like one of the most important things I can do for you, is quite simply, share my mistakes. There is no such thing as the perfect career, nobody wins all the time.  As an entrepreneur, if you are successful, you are going to make mistakes so give yourself some grace and let yourself off the hook. So many of my challenges over my career have come from dealing with people. I used to hire for skill set and experience only.  I didn't look at if I actually liked the person I was hiring and if I actually wanted to be around them. I thought I had to have the person who looked best on paper and that I just had to suck up my feelings.  Here's what I can tell you now, you don't have to hire people that you don't like being around. You don't need to make sacrifices and compromises to get the help that you need. The team members who I've struggled with in the past have always been the ones that I never felt comfortable with from the beginning.  You can't hide the energy with which you communicate. You can't hide your feelings no matter how hard you try. If you have people on your team who you don't like and don't feel excited about, you're not going to grow with the momentum that you would like.  People are going to feel how you feel so surround yourself with people that you feel good about.

477 - When You Hit A Wall

As you grow your business, there are going to be times when it feels like you've hit a wall.  This is especially true if you're a fast growth business. It's so normal to hit a wall and it's something that happens to every entrepreneur out there. The key is learning how to deal with your challenges in the right way and not let the struggles you feel push you into making bad decisions. When people are under pressure, they don't normally make good and rational decisions. If you've hit a wall, here's what you need to do... 1 -- Lower pressure and noise for you 2 -- Assess if your team is overwhelmed 3 -- Pull the targets closer and rack up some wins You can get past the wall.  If you haven't yet, get a copy of my book the Entrepreneurial Personality Type at freemomentumbook.com

478 - Don't Take Money from the Wrong Person

When you stop taking money from the wrong people, your entire business will change. Early on when you try to sell to everyone, you will be challenged. You will endure pain and suffering by taking money from the wrong people. While it may work for you in the beginning, eventually you will realize you are not getting consistent results. When the product doesn’t fit the avatar, the product doesn’t have the effect you want it to have, they don’t get results, and they end up disgruntled and frustrated, and they leave.  As an entrepreneur, you want to sell to the right people 100% of the time. When you learn to stop taking money from the wrong people, everything will start to work. Your marketing will work, your sales will work, you will get consistent results. Most of all, your clients will get consistent results. To do that, you must realize that not everyone is the right avatar for you.  When you aren’t getting the results you want, your clients aren’t getting results, and the right people aren’t showing up, you end up in a place where you have to take responsibility and fix the process. Decide first who you are selling to and creating an outcome for and that will allow you to exclude everyone else. Are you ready to grow your business faster?

479 - Don't Gaslight Your Team

As the CEO of a business, when you go around your team members, you create fear and uncertainty in your team. I’ve seen this pattern in hundreds of businesses, and it took me years to create systems to break those patterns myself. What you have to see is that you have no idea of the position and stature you have in the lives of the people who work with you, especially if you are hands-off in operations and tactics. You hold a mythical place in their minds. When you get involved in things you aren’t usually involved in, from the team member’s perspective, they will find it overwhelming. That type of behavior of going from CEO who is hands off to diving down to someone on a tactical level and correcting them, you are having a massive impact and creating fear in the team member and the entire team. Creating systems around the people will help protect the people on your team and allow you to communicate with them effectively. Clear communication, clear planning systems, and an easy to use chain of command will help everyone on your team know what is going on and increase everyone’s performance. Respect the structure, and your entire business will shift. If you are growing a business and want to put the right structure in place, go to billionairecode.com and set up a call with a member of our team to go through a Strategy Session to see where you are and what you need to scale and grow your team.

480 - How to Hire Momentum

In the businesses I’ve owned, I’ve always had team members who have military experience in leadership.  The world needs to understand that members of the military consistently make ambiguous outcomes reality despite not having enough people, time, resources or direction.  They have the ability to adapt and overcome consistently, and this is why you want military leadership on your team.  They can take an outcome and drive it to a conclusion 100% of the time.  If you had this level of experience and ability to drive to outcomes on your team, your business would explode and be what you want it to be.  It creates an unfair advantage. They are a source of foundational strength and adaptability, and they can help you grow your business in a way of that provides you a level protection and support in a way you never thought possible.

481 - You Can't Decide Everything

As you grow your business, you can’t continue doing everything.  This includes decision making.  In so many ways, the entrepreneur is by far the biggest bottleneck in the business.  We see this all the time in our coaching programs.  In a growing business, your responsibilities will change on a daily and weekly basis.  You miss an opportunity for leverage in decision making when you don’t share the process with your team.  As you build a business, growth happens this way: Grow product Grow a tactical team Grow team that can execute directly for you Grow and share decision making As entrepreneurs, we get used to making the decisions and being in charge, but in order to grow, we need to stop making all the decisions.  This is crucial because decision-making fatigue is real.  If you are making the decisions in every part of your business, you are making so many decisions that ultimately they won’t get made and will slow down your business.  This is why growing a team to share in the decision-making process is necessary and prevents you from becoming a bottleneck, allowing your business to increase capacity and grow exponentially.  If you are ready to build out exactly what I talked about – core values, communication cadence – go to billionaire.com, and we will show you exactly where you are on the road to entrepreneurial success.

482 - Strategic Growth Isn’t Always Revenue

Growth isn’t always financial. Sometimes, you have to strategically grow some things in order to grow others.  You have to take a step back in order to continue growing at a rate you want. I talk to entrepreneurs all the time about growing their businesses.  That’s what keeps us in momentum – growing a business and moving things forward.  The problem occurs when you want to grow all the time.  A single flat line month will drive entrepreneurs crazy.   Experienced entrepreneurs understand that in business you should not always be growing top-line numbers.  To deliver at the highest level, sometimes you need to make the strategic decision to grow the infrastructure of the business, not the sales of the business.  Taking the focus off of the top-line and growing delivery and cause your business to grow in lightning speed.  Growth in infrastructure changes things and supports the people, processes, projects in your business.  When you put the focus here, it will have a slingshot effect because they are the foundational pieces of growth in your business.  To grow strategically: Understand that most businesses go through these periods routinely. Set an outcome and a timeframe to win. Realize that deliberate building periods act like a turbocharger for your business. If you are ready to start growing like crazy and build infrastructure in your business, reach out to us at billionairecode.com. Resources Mentioned: https://charfen.com/5Core

483 - People Look Broken Without a Plan

People look broken without a plan.  When you don’t have a plan, you will believe you have people issues and face constant turnover. Conflict.  Frustration.  Things not getting done.  Without a plan, the team doesn’t have clarity, so they become tentative and are less likely to take risk and commitment to the work goes down.  Your team without a plan will be frustrating and annoying.  This is not a people problem.  This is the direct result of not having a clear plan connected to a long-term vision. With a clear plan, your team will perform at a higher level and clarity and confidence will go up.  Strategic plans connect day to day activities to long term vision.  With a strategic plan, momentum will be created faster than you thought possible.   If you are ready to create a strategic plan so your team knows exactly where you are going, reach out to us at billionairecode.com.

484 - Don't Take Quitting Personally

People are going to leave your team, and there is nothing you can do about it. As an entrepreneur, it is going to happen over and over again. The way that you get over this and keep it from being personal is to see change as an opportunity. People are going to leave for reasons beyond your control and for reasons that have nothing to do with you. They will get married. They will move. They will leave simply because they want to. The only thing you can do is be thankful for the time you had and release them and let them go. Then, turn to the people who are left and focus building up the team around you. Take the energy you have and focus on the people who are still with you and make things happen with you. Don’t let one person leaving derail you and what you are doing with the rest of your team. If you are ready to start growing your business even faster with systems that keep your team running at the highest level, reach out to us at billionairecode.com.

485 - Let Success Drive Scale

One of the biggest challenges we see with our new clients is that they have scaled, but they haven't let success drive their growth. They want to move forward so badly, they force growth based on anticipation of what could come versus the what will actually move the company forward. When you are growing a business, you will face an infinite number of decisions. It seems obvious we should scale the system around the success of the business. However, many times what happens with entrepreneurs is they scale around a perceived opportunity. They think there is an opportunity coming and hire people and put processes in place for an opportunity that could be there versus making decisions on the business they currently have. If you are ready to start growing your business fast and let success drive scale, look up Billionaire Code group on Facebook, it's our free group for businesses that are growing and scaling teams.

486 - Getting Lucky Isn't Success

Never take getting lucky as a sign of success in your business. Success must be predictable. If you can't predict your success or explain it, then you are just getting lucky. You can’t rely on luck because it doesn’t work, and you will struggle. It takes massive effort to actually get a business to survive. In the start-up phase, you want to see success everywhere you can, and you should. However, seeing getting lucky as a sign of success will kill your business. In order to grow your business, you need proper feedback and processes to know where you need to focus in order to achieve that growth.

487- Comparisons Will Kill You

I see entrepreneurs all the time comparing their worst day to someone else’s best day. Let’s face it. On social media, people just share their best, but you can’t compare your worst day to what appears to be someone’s best. Comparison is dangerous. For everyone who appears to be perfect on social media, remember, every person out there is going through something. Don’t ever assume they aren’t. When someone else shares a positive, use it for inspiration. You are the only person you should judge yourself against. When you compare yourself to yourself, you’ll create more momentum than you ever thought possible.

488 - Handling Unexpected Terminations

A surprise termination, where either you have to fire someone or someone quits without notice, can be one of the most destabilizing events on your team.  When sharing this information with your team, transparency is the easiest and most consistent policy.  Ambiguity will drive gossip.  Be careful talking negatively about someone who has left. The more respectful you are about what has gone on, the better things will go for your team.  Let the remaining team know that transitions create opportunity. Terminations are always an opportunity.  They are opportunities to find inefficiencies, an opportunity to bring in new energy, an opportunity to grow the business and the remaining team.   If you're a listener of the podcast I would love it if you could leave a review on iTunes.

489 - It's Not About You

When you start building a team, it’s no longer about you.  You can’t scale a business without interacting with your team.  If you don’t want to show up with your team, you shouldn’t grow a business.  When you have a system and process in place, it will move the business forward fast.  If you aren’t willing to have a daily huddle, to meet with leadership, then don’t build a team.  A team will create more momentum than you thought possible.  You will get more done with a team than you ever could on your own, and time with your team creates massive impact and maximum momentum.  You set the tone, the culture and the pace of the company.  If you aren’t there, the team will know the business isn’t important.  If you don’t show up, neither will they.

490 - Self-Care Is Not a Weakness

Self-care is a gateway drug to success.   Self-care is not a weakness.  The sooner you figure that out, the faster you get into and stay in momentum. Self-care allows you to create momentum physiologically and within your business.  When you don’t take care of yourself, you are training yourself to tolerate discomfort.  Experienced entrepreneurs know that when they go down, so does the business.  When you stop tolerating discomfort, you will be more successful.  You are the most important person in your business and need to prioritize taking care of yourself and offload when you are uncomfortable.  The day you start treating yourself as the most important person in your business, you will see a drastic shift in your business.  When you’re ready for it, here are a few ways that my team and I can help you grow and scale your business: 1.

491- Does Alex Have a Coach?

Coaching is the fastest way to make massive shortcuts in your success. Anybody who doesn't get coaching, you are making things so much harder on yourself. Through coaching, you are getting expertise, finding the people who have been where you want to go, and providing you with a path, clarity, and direction. Coaching and self-education can help you skip months, years, decades on your path to success. When you ask for help, you are not showing weakness. In fact, when you ask for help, everything in your life will change and you will get to where you want to be faster.

492 - Someone Has to Have Been There

One of the fastest ways to create momentum in your business is to find people who have been where you want to go and give them responsibility. When no one in your business has grown to the level you are going, everyone is consistently guessing. You'll feel overwhelmed around hiring. Imposter syndrome will kick in. And, when your business grows, you'll feel overrun because you absolutely can't do it yourself. Experience matters. If you want to go fast, reach out to people who have been where you want to go, and massive momentum will occur. Having experience on your team allows you to be a mentor and to be mentored by your team members. Otherwise, you'll be the one making all of the decisions in the business and you will not grow as fast as you want. If you want to go fast, someone has to have been there.

493 - First Lower the Noise

In this episode, we discuss how to lower the pressure and noise so you can achieve your ultimate version of success. Lowering pressure and noise is a gateway to understanding how to succeed as an entrepreneur. When we lower the noise and decide what we will no longer tolerate, we’re able to move forward fast. Ask yourself, what are you tolerating, and what are you going to stop? Evaluate the people, places, and things in your life. They are either giving you momentum or taking it away. Make sure you defend your focus like your life depends on it because it does. Do this over and over, and you will create momentum you didn’t know was possible.   Once you lower the noise in all areas of your life, you will see your business grow like crazy! When you lower the noise first, the percentage of your success goes up exponentially. You will have the momentum, clarity, and space you need to go out and create the success you always wanted.

494 - Avoiding Team Tantrums

This episode is for anyone who’s had team members throw a tantrum. The kind of tantrum where they blow up and act unacceptable. They completely shock you with their behavior and perform out of the ordinary from how they have previously been. In the future, here’s how to prevent them from torching the place on the way out.    It may be hard to hear, but these tantrums could be a result of something you are doing. It’s important to not blame the person for being crazy or assume there’s something wrong with them. When there’s incongruency in a business’s leadership, you can trigger childhood feelings and rebellion against authority. A leader can trigger these childhood behavioral patterns by being incongruent or having miscommunication. These patterns can show in the forms of unhealthy competitions, meltdowns, playing managers, and ultimately acting just like a child. Tantrums can be avoided by creating clarity, dividing responsibilities, documenting, and having transparency with your team.    When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1. Grab a free copy of my book: The Entrepreneurial Personality Type. This book will show you why, as an entrepreneur, there is nothing wrong with you, and how you’re not alone.

495 - Cancel Cold Calls

The more you believe in your game plan, the more you will be offended by interruptions. A cold call is ultimately someone else interrupting and controlling your time. When we accept these calls, we are letting someone steal our most valuable asset, and for the sake of your success, it has to stop. Here’s why you should cancel cold calls fast! When someone calls you out of the blue, and you answer, you’re counting on them to give you the exact solution you need at that moment in time. People who take cold calls are the ones without a plan; they fail to realize that any interruption is distracting and takes you out of the game. If you have a plan and know where you’re going, you can’t allow these calls take you out of the flow. You have to guard your focus as if your life depends on it because it does. Your focus creates your outcomes, and your outcomes shape your life. If you’re not in the place you want in your life, it’s because your focus has been in the wrong place. Follow these three easy steps to avoid cold calls: Have a plan; distraction is nearly impossible when you have a clear outcome. Have a transparent purchasing process in your business; don’t ever buy anything because someone cold called you. Talk to your team about avoiding phone calls, teach them that cold calls are not part of your companies culture. If you avoid cold calls, you will have a lot less distraction in your life, you will get more time back, and you will have a higher level of focus.

496 - Triggered Communication Will Cost You

When we’re triggered, our communication will usually cost us. When you feel emotional, you’re likely to make irrational decisions. You simply aren’t yourself, and responding immediately will only hurt you. When you’re triggered and feel the urgency to reply, back down. Instead, use strategy and finesse when you’re communicating with others, it will change everything.  Here are three key steps to help you avoid getting triggered: Start a morning routine and stick with it. Begin lowering pressure and noise everywhere in your life. Have clear outcomes for your life, relationships, and business. Having a morning routine, lowering pressure noise, and having clarity as to what your outcomes are will make you less reactive and help you get better at everything you do. Commit to these steps for a few days and let us know how it’s impacted your life! When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

497 - Survive Blindsides

As an entrepreneur, you will get blindsided. It's inevitable. We can't always predict what circumstances will arise, but we can prepare for them. Recently I was reminded of how important it is to develop a team around you. A team creates freedom. Isn't that one of the main reasons we become entrepreneurs, to gain freedom? So many people try to do everything themselves, failing to realize that they can't successfully do everything alone. When you choose to operate a business solo, you're not free at all. You're stuck, tied down, and your entire business depends solely on you. Without a team, you are a one-person show with limited momentum. You need a team to help you grow and keep the organization afloat when you're unable to. It's important to remember that no one is good at everything, and you should outsource things early on that you're not good at. If you're trying to do it all on your own, eventually the momentum you have won't be enough. So, build a team and don't wait until it's too late. Don't be afraid to ask for help; you can't get to the place you want alone. Lastly, learn from people who have successful teams. You need a team so you can survive blindsides and continue to build your business. When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1. Grab a free copy of my book: The Entrepreneurial Personality Type. This book will show you why, as an entrepreneur, there is nothing wrong with you, and how you’re not alone.

498 - Create a Performance Culture

There’s a way to build a company culture that builds the company itself; I like to call it performance culture. A real culture for entrepreneurial personality types has an environment where they can win daily. It’s not the parties, games, or fluff like you may think. Your team will have a real entrepreneurial culture when everyone is performing and in momentum. A team that wins together stays, grows, evolves, and creates bigger outcomes together. You can create a performance culture in your team with three simple elements: clear outcomes, transparency, and accountability. When you have these elements, you will create a performance culture where people grow like crazy and overperform. Going forward, create a real company culture around growth, performance, outcomes, and making things happen!   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1. Grab a free copy of my book: The Entrepreneurial Personality Type. This book will show you why, as an entrepreneur, there is nothing wrong with you, and how you’re not alone.

499 - Is Your Coach Your Biggest Limitation?

If you're learning from a coach, consultant, teacher, or mentor who hasn't built a team, you're learning from a limited perspective. Ask yourself, is the person you're learning from your biggest limitation? There are too many coaches out there who aren't doing the work themselves. Make sure you evaluate who you are learning from and see if they are where you want to be. If not, you're going to be influenced by their limitations and limiting beliefs. Don't accept anyone's limiting beliefs on who you are, your temperament, or where you can go. Anyone who has is dedicated, has the entrepreneurial personality type, and cares will change the world. Many coaches out there will try to limit your potential, don't let them. Make sure you do your research, dig deep, and understand who you are working with. Your future depends on it!

500 - Episode 500!

Today's podcast is an exciting milestone for us; we've officially hit 500 episodes! I want to share with you the lessons I've learned, the insights I've gained, and what's come out of doing 500 Momentum Podcasts. The idea to start this podcast happened back in 2017 when I joined Russell Brunson's inner circle. During our mastermind, Russel pulled me aside and said if I did a podcast, he would listen to me every day. He told me to start sharing what I knew, and people would start listening to it. I sat there and thought if Russell said I should do it, I will! I have to admit; in the beginning, I had a bad case of imposter syndrome. Recording that first episode was on my to-do list forever, and it took me a long time to commit to recording the first one. Eventually, I hit record, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. This podcast has changed our business more than any single thing we've done. In just two years, the Momentum Podcast has hit 500 episodes with over 1.5 million downloads! Thank you for being a listener and making this possible, we couldn't do it without you!   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

501 - Reactivity Robs Momentum

Many people confuse reactivity with momentum. It can often feel like momentum, but it’s not. Being in a reactive state is a false feeling of momentum. If you get yourself out of reactivity and into productivity, you will find true momentum. When we’re in a reactive state, our decision making narrows and we begin working in a diminished capacity. Being reactive slows down everything in your life. Remember your energy affects the people around you, and if you’re reactive, your team will be reactive. You will also have lower transparency and challenges in communicating with the people around you. Tune in to hear how you can avoid getting yourself into a reactive space!

502 - A Special Interview with Hailey Heard

Dr. Hailey Heard has been in our Billionaire Code Accelerator for a year. Before joining us, she had no idea how to keep scaling without structure.

After a few short months of joining our program, Hailey and her team doubled their income. A year later, they hit a 300% growth in revenue and doubled their entire team!

503 - Part 1: 5 Reasons Why Companies That Should Scale, Don't - Strategic Plan

In our analysis and review of 100's of companies, we have discovered the 5 reasons why companies who should scale, don't. This episode, Strategic Plan, is part 1 of the 5 part series. A lot of businesses out there should be growing faster. One reason they aren't is due to not having a strategic plan. Without one, you are guessing at productivity. Having a strategic plan is the gateway to fast growth and scale in a business. When you have a plan, you will have fewer distractions, your team will be out in front of you, and you will gain perspective as the entrepreneur in charge. Having this new system in place will allow you to plan for the future while your company grows predictably. When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

504 - Part 2: 5 Reasons Why Companies That Should Scale, Don't - Communication System

There’s one place where most problems in any business come from, challenges in communication. For a business to scale, it needs to have a system for communication, a cadence. Communication outside of a system is often misunderstood. When communication is predictable, comprehension and retention of information go up. When meetings are choreographed and repetitive, you can move people around with clarity. If you install a communication cadence, your team will be aligned, your issues will go down, and your momentum will go through the roof.

505 - Part 3: 5 Reasons Why Companies That Should Scale, Don't - Deep Process

Most entrepreneurial businesses are facing way more chaos and challenges then they need to have. If the same issues are showing up repeatedly, such as having an inconsistent customer journey or if product delivery is inconsistent, there is a simple solution to these issues. You need a deep process in your business. The more clear your process is, the more client trust you will create. Without a process in your business, your customer experience will be radically inconsistent, and your business will experience utter chaos. Start building an infrastructure of your business with processes. Create a consistent system to identify what processes need to be documented, prioritize them, and begin documenting like crazy. Ensure your team knows and understands each process, so if something happens, anyone on the team can step in to help.   From there, your business will scale at the rate you’ve always wanted it to. If you lean in and implement a deep process, your business is never at risk of feeling constraint and always at a position to create higher levels of momentum. When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1. Grab a free copy of my book: The Entrepreneurial Personality Type.

506 - Part 4: 5 Reasons Why Companies That Should Scale, Don't - Projects

Having a system to select the right projects is crucial to any business. First, analyze your business to see what projects you should be doing. If you don’t have a consistent system for analyzing what projects to do, you’re going to do them randomly, haphazardly, and they’re going to hold you back. Projects build the infrastructure of your business. When you select the right project, at the right time, based on your company needs, you will feel momentum. You will also gain perspective as to what your team can do, which will improve over time. Tune in to part 4 of the five reasons why companies that should scale, don’t!

507 - Part 5: 5 Reasons Why Companies That Should Scale, Don't - People

When you have the right people, in the right places on your team, it will drive your company forward. As entrepreneurs, we get to a point where the momentum we create alone is no longer enough, and this is when we need a team. As entrepreneurial personality types, we need more protection and support than the average person to get where we want to go. The shift from "me" to "we" in a team setting is one of the most transformational and profound changes a person will go through. Remember, the right person in your company should create massive momentum for you. The wrong person can distract or destroy your entire team. Put the right people in the right places in your team, and you will see your business increase momentum like never before.

508 - You Are Not a Unicorn

At some point in their career, every entrepreneur has felt like they were special, different, or unique. I have news for you, I'm not a unicorn, and neither are you. If you start thinking you're the only person who can do something, it's going to be the biggest barrier to you scaling your business than you could ever create. Once you drop the idea that you are special, you will see what you should be doing. Focus on work in your genius zone and only in your genius zone. Once you get out of your own way, drop the feeling you're a unicorn, stop that pattern in your head that says your the only one who can do it, the faster your business is going to scale.

510 - Why People Torch the Place on the Way Out

There’s a reason why people torch your business when they leave. Sometimes as an entrepreneur, you screw up and make a mistake, causing someone to quit. But more times than not, people go because they found a new opportunity. To justify leaving, people often blame their employer as part of the problem, making it their fault.  They know they have no integrity if they just up and go. When employees want to leave, they usually create separation, so they have a reason more significant than just walking away.       Having someone go sideways in your organization is a natural part of leading human beings. Know that if you’re going to lead people, you’re going to run into this issue. If this situation happens to you, don’t criticize the person who is leaving. Make sure you are transparent with your team and don’t let it affect how you treat the rest of your employees. As a leader, take responsibility, live above the line, care about the team you have left, move forward, and create massive momentum.   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

511- Success Is the Best Personal Development

Success is the greatest personal development vehicle there has ever been.

When you move forward, that’s the best personal development.    If you’re like me, you’re an evolutionary hunter, and you learn the most when you’re on the hunt. The more you’re on the hunt, the more you’re out there succeeding and developing. Get yourself into momentum by learning and growing.

513 - What to Do When Someone Torches the Place

A few episodes ago, we discussed why some employees torch the place on their way out. In this podcast, we talk about what to do when it happens. People who threaten your business when they go are looking for a way to justify leaving. It's that simple. They need to place blame on you, or the company, and come up with a reason to leave the team rather than just walking away.     The more you react to someone torching the place on the way out, the more damage that will be done in your business. Any emotional reaction you have is going to unsettle your team, don't let one person leaving trigger everyone. Calm your reaction and remember this is part of being an employer. Building relationships is your job, and sometimes they fall apart. Know nothing is perfect, and there will be times ahead with massive challenges. Prepare yourself for someone torching the place on the way out. Know it's going to happen and remember not to react. Understand it's about the position you're in, and that you're not alone. It happens even to the best of us; it's part of life.     Resources mentioned: billionairecode.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

514 - The More You Give, the More You Get with Ashlan Nelson

Entrepreneurs face resistance constantly. The day you decide you're going to do something, the whole world is going to tell you not to. But in this case, Ashlan Nelson was the opposite. Before creating her company, Unstoppable Stylist, she was a hairstylist for several years. She had an idea to help other stylists figure out how to make more money, but kept getting conflicting messages from her friends and family. From being a stylist herself, Ashlan knew hairstylist are taught to do hair, not to run a business.    Everyone kept telling her to launch the idea, but she kept hesitating. Ashlan felt pressure in starting her business and succeeding with it. Once she pulled the trigger, she went from feeling like "I don't know if I should do this" too "I need to do this and serve others." She went through Momentum Masterclass at a point in her life where she felt a ton of constraint, lack of clarity, and unsure of how to move forward. If this sounds like you, tune in to hear Ashlan's story. Ashlan has been there, broke through, and now she's in crazy momentum.

515 - Charfen Update: 24 Months in Business

We just had the close of our second full year in business. The last six months have been exceptional for us. Our company has been growing like crazy. One of the major things we’ve focused on is planning. I always say that if you don’t have a plan, you’re going to be the biggest bottleneck. We’ve used our strategic planning process to coach 100’s of millions of dollars in growth with our clients. Another thing we’ve really cracked down on is documentation of key processes and simplifying everything we possibly can to scale.    To put things into context, in September of last year, we pulled all of our paid marketing so I could get out of sales and delivery. As a result, we grew our team to 15 people and had our most profitable year yet. We also launched our newest product, Billionaire Code Foundation. We started the Foundation with a small beta group. Our goal was 25 sales, and we ended at 32, with NO paid marketing. In the past few months, we also dealt with some serious health issues with my wife, Cadey. With my wife out of commission and me working at 30% productivity, our business still grew thanks to our incredible team. I can’t stress this enough...having the right team is everything.    We’re currently at a $3 million run rate and on our way to the $3 - $10 million growth phase on the Billionaire Code. Stepping into this leader phase and delegating success has led us to have an amazing team culture. But the biggest and most exciting thing that has happened in the last two years is our client success stories. So many of our clients are exploding and hitting new milestones. Tune into the show for a full overview of what the past 24 months in business have looked like for us!   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

516 - Life Will Overwhelm You, Don't Help

There's a recurring issue we see in our coaching program, entrepreneurs creating overwhelm for themselves. Even after we put our systems in place to lower the pressure and noise in their life, they almost immediately want to add something new they can chase. They start feeling the momentum and want to do more. They don't realize that adding more usually slows the business's growth down and distracts their team. They get shiny object syndrome and try to do it all, but fail to realize that they can chase one thing with a tremendous amount of simplicity to 7 and 8 figures.    Sometimes the most important thing to do in our business is to create space for what's coming next. You're constantly going to be changing and growing, which is a good thing because if you don't grow as an entrepreneur, the business won't grow. Remember that every time you say yes to something, you're saying no to a bunch of other things. As soon as things start going well, don't create new overwhelm. Life will overwhelm you already. Like attracts like, if you're overwhelmed you're going to develop more overwhelm. Begin removing the things in your life that aren't producing momentum and don't allow yourself to put up with more. Optimize and put effort into what you're already doing, and your business will grow like crazy. Life will already overwhelm you, don't add to it.    Resources mentioned: https://billionairecode.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

517 - Where Entrepreneurial Anxiety Comes From

Entrepreneurial anxiety is real. The faster we come to terms with it, the faster we can do something about it. So where does entrepreneurial anxiety come from? It comes from people like you and I wanting to be in momentum, make progress, get things done, and not being able to. If we lean in and embrace the anxiety, it will help us move forward.   I experienced entrepreneurial anxiety last week while I was out with a nasty sinus infection. Thankfully I had a plan and team in place that allowed our business to still make massive progress in my absence. If you are experiencing entrepreneurial anxiety, you need to have a plan. Not only is it important to have a plan in place, but you also need to make sure every member of your team understands it. That way if you have to take a few days off, your team can still move the business forward. You also need to recognize and eliminate where you are uncomfortable. Don’t deny the anxiety. It only makes it worse. If you build the right team, have a plan, recognize where you are uncomfortable, and eliminate what’s holding you back, you will reduce anxiety.      Resources mentioned: Billionairecode.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

518 - Simplify to Scale

Most entrepreneurs have a hard time scaling businesses because they don’t make things easy enough on themselves. To scale, you need to simplify. Typically, businesses start with one person doing everything. As the company generates more success, it’s difficult to jump out of the place of doing everything yourself to outsourcing work. Once you get to the level of success where you are no longer able to do everything alone, evaluate your business. Look at where you are struggling and how you can make things easier.    In our coaching program, the clients who have experienced fast growth have a common denominator. They simplified like crazy. As entrepreneurs, it’s difficult for us to make things easy on ourselves. Complexity, work, and struggle all feel natural to us. As we grow, everything becomes more complex, and the success we achieve creates a deficit. It’s important for you to know that simplicity scales naturally, and it’s nearly impossible to scale complexity. Here are three things you can start simplifying today in your business: tighten up your avatar, streamline your delivery, and clarify the promise you provide as a company. Trust me, when you simplify everything gets easier.    Resources mentioned: Billionairecode.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

519 - Don't Stay Trapped in the Day to Day

When you let yourself become trapped in the day to day, it's one of the least empowering ways to run a business. It will stunt your business growth. The challenge for most people is when they started a business, the success created was entirely by themselves. They did everything. But once your company has grown and you've gotten to the place where you can no longer do everything alone, you need to rely on a team. To do this, you have to make a massive behavioral shift from doing everything to stepping back and doing things you should be doing.    The issue is it feels natural and helpful when we jump back in the business. But in reality, it traps us in day to day and disrupts our team. Stepping back creates space for your team to step up. If you're always there helping, your team will continue to depend on you. When you're caught up in the day to day, your team isn't creating process, systems, and structure in your business. When you get out of the tactical day to day, your mind will instinctively switch into strategic thinking. Your entire perspective will shift in every area of your life. You can start to create massive outcomes without tactical involvement. The possibility of what you can accomplish and what you are capable of explodes!     Resources mentioned: 5 Reasons Why Companies That Should Scale, Don’t Presentation: billionairecodesecrets.com    When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

520 - A Culture of Accommodation Will Kill You

A lot of business owners feel like they should accommodate their clients. I’m here to tell you that you no longer need to. The more you accommodate, the more you create a business with no process, system, and everything is customized. There’s no way to create a consistent delivery with your clients if you keep making exceptions for them. It will kill you, exhaust your team, and hold your business back.    Decreasing accommodation in delivery increases your value. When you stop making exceptions, you will create a system, process, and structure that runs the business for you. A culture of accommodation will kill you, but when you don’t allow it, your momentum will go through the roof. Drive accommodation out of your business, and you will see your success in delivery go through the roof.    Resources mentioned: Billionairecode.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

521 - Imposters Everywhere

So many entrepreneurs feel imposter syndrome, including myself. We hear that voice in our head tell us we aren’t good enough as soon as we go to do something out of our comfort zone. When you feel it, you’re doing things right. It’s your subconscious pushing against you. If you struggle with this too, know that you are not alone, and almost everyone feels it. The people who experience imposter syndrome are the ones who end up breaking through and making things happen.   The bad thing about imposter syndrome is that it will always be there. But the good news is that action kills the imposter. Push yourself every single day to move forward, even to the point where it feels uncomfortable. Trust me, what’s difficult for you today will get easier over time. Keep taking action over and over again. As you kill the imposter, you will find the things that scare you the most become the things that help you bring value to others. You are on the edge of growth, never quit. When you are willing to push through, that’s when you will become who you know you always should be.   Resources mentioned: Billionairecode.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

523 - Simplicity Scales and Complexity Creates Constraint

Cadey and I just got back from California. We were at Taki Moore's event surrounded by over 100 coaches from around the world. It was incredible. I wanted to record this podcast to share with you my takeaways and the biggest insight I received about growing and scaling a business under $10 million.    After attending the event and reflecting on the conversations I had, there was a common principle I saw. It's that simplicity scales naturally, and complexity creates constraint. Out of all the people in the room, the simplest businesses were the ones growing the fastest. How crazy is it that the simplest business plans were the biggest ones in the room? But when you think about it, it makes sense. People who have one promotion, one product, one sales process, one pretty much anything always grows. The more clear they are, the more success they have. Because people know what the offer and they become the go-to person for that product or service.     In the beginning, entrepreneurs without experience feel like they have to do a bunch of things to be successful. I've been there, and it's a painful process. The sad part is no matter how much work you put in, you're not going to scale the business because there is too much going on. Running multiple things at once will hold you back more than anything you're doing. So instead, simplify as fast as you can because success creates deficits and growth creates complexity. My question to you is, are you creating simplicity that scales naturally, or are you climbing up a hill because you made it harder? Think about it. Now go simplify your business, cut hard, and you will grow fast!   Resources mentioned: Billionairecode.com    When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

524 - Be Careful Following Runaway Success

Entrepreneurs love a runaway success story, myself included. We want to know what that person is doing, how they did it, and see if we can do the same thing. The problem is, far too many people ask what they are doing and try to copy it exactly. But doing this can cause you major issues, and most likely end up hurting your business rather than helping it.     It's okay to follow a success story, but make sure to build your company around the inspiration from it. Figure out what frameworks, what evaluations tools, etc. they are using. If you start mimicking someone's business plan precisely, it's going to cause you challenges. You will end up adding things your business doesn't even need because no two businesses are alike. Use success stories for ideas but then analyze your company to see what it needs.     Tune in for my advice on what steps you need to take after becoming inspired by someone's success story!     Resources mentioned: Billionairecode.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

525 - Never Say Never

Predetermined decisions that entrepreneurs have creates a massive loss in momentum. When we set up constraints and barriers of saying we will never do something, it hurts us. Instead, be open-minded to change. Allow yourself and your team the opportunity to review something before you make a decision. Don't go into something thinking you will never do this or that, because chances are the minute you say "never," that almost ensures you will eventually.    To grow your business, you're going to have to change your behavior and allow your perspective to adjust. When you allow your perspective to shift, you will see the world differently, which will lead you to different opinions than you first had. Growth in business equals behavioral change, and perspective shift equals business growth. If you want to scale your business, change is inevitable. To make things easier on you and your team, don't create predetermined constraints. When you change your behavior and stop saying never, you will experience a massive shift and acceleration in your business.    Resources mentioned: Billionairecode.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

527 - The People Who Fail with Us

I share a lot of success stories on the Momentum Podcast, but not always the failures. I had someone reach out to me on Facebook and ask what happens to be the people who aren't successful in our programs. I sat there and thought about it, and decided sharing this would be valuable to this audience. Once I reflected, I noticed three commonalities for people who joined our program and failed.    Even though it's hard for me to admit, there are a few people who haven't been successful in our coaching programs. Number one, they fail due to implementation. They don't implement what we teach them in our program. The second reason, they are getting way too much advice. Most of the time they are working with other people and us at the same time. They get paralysis from too much input, they have too much information, and they freeze. Third and usually the most likely reason due to failure is they are stuck in emotional overwhelm. They are in fight or flight mode and aren't willing to work on themselves.    So many entrepreneurs go out and join programs without understanding why they are doing it, what they are getting, or being intentional about their decision. It may sound like common sense, but if you're not committed to something, and there's not an intention behind it, it's not going to work for you. As I've shared before we have a clear track record for helping people, but we can't help those who don't want to help themselves.     The biggest takeaway - Before you make a decision, ask yourself if you're actually going to implement what you learned. Only buy what you need when you need it. Lastly, get clear on why you are buying something, so you are already committed to putting in the effort. Try this the next time you're going to make a purchase decision and let me know if it helped you be successful!   Resources mentioned: Billionairecode.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

528 - We Did so Well I'm Bored, What Now?

A lot of our clients do well in their business then find themselves bored. This typically happens after pressure and noise are reduced, we’ve simplified, and everything is in a good place. Then they start to wonder what’s next and feel the absence of knowing what they should be doing. In the last few weeks, even I wondered what I should be focused on. Our team was absolutely crushing it, but that left me feeling a little bored and wondering what I should focus on.    Just like I remind my clients, I recently had to remind myself that our days should continuously be evolving. We should always be changing what we do and building around what the business needs. I want you to ask yourself this question: how do I make this easier on me? If you keep asking yourself this question, you will consistently and systematically fix the deficit created by success.    Resources mentioned: Billionairecode.com - Grab a free copy of The Billionaire Code Decoded and The Billionaire Code Matrix!   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

529 - Measurement Eliminates Micromanagement

It's a common misconception that measuring or "tracking" your employee's work is micromanaging. But in reality, without measurement, you will be forced to micromanage. Here's why, when you're not measuring, you have to consistently check in with people to know what's happening and what the issues are. When you don't have a perspective as to what someone is doing, you are going to step into transactional management naturally.    Eliminate micromanagement by adding measurements around each team members role. Make sure every person on your team has measurements tailored to their job, and they know exactly what is expected of them. They need to know what you need from them and if they're achieving their measurements on a scoreboard. I've talked about it in previous episodes, but ensure each member on your team has a clear outcome, a clear perspective, and accountability in place.  When you have measurements for your team, you can step into transformational leadership. When these metrics and milestones are set in place, you will notice growth in your team, yourself, and massive momentum across your organization. Measurement moves companies forward!  Resources mentioned: Billionairecode.com    When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

530 - Push Yourself Forward with Karina Arnal

This is a very special podcast. I had the privilege of interviewing our very own Graphic Designer, Karina Arnal. Karina has been on an incredible journey since she started working with us. Throughout this episode, she shares how her life has been completely transformed over the past year.   Here's a sneak peek into her episode:    Karina used to struggle with her personality type and perception of the world. She was constantly told she was weird, and her behavior wasn't normal. Karina felt like no matter where she went, she just never fit in. These urges were so strong that she moved from Venezuela to Ireland!  She was diagnosed with clinical depression and was told she had it her whole life. She began therapy and shortly after joined Charfen as our Graphic Designer. She started to apply the content we teach in Momentum Masterclass and began experiencing massive changes in her life. Karina went from barely talking at all when she first joined to now recording this podcast! She quit smoking and has been smoke-free for over three months now! She has the desire to keep working towards having a better quality of life, wakes up happy, and wants to be alive.     The world needs to hear Karina's story.

531 - Brilliant Kids, It's Time to Be Heard

I’ve been coaching entrepreneurs with kids for over 20 years. Over time, I’ve noticed there are some visible patterns with entrepreneurs and our children. A pattern I’ve seen over and over again in entrepreneurial children is that they need time to connect. They need time to be heard and have someone engage with them.    Society is quick to label children with all types of behavioral disorders. I firmly believe that many of these symptoms are actually a diagnosis of children being brilliant. But here’s the thing, brilliant children need more guidance, help, and time than other children out there. They need to be able to offload when there uncomfortable and have time set aside to be heard.   If you have a brilliant kid, set aside at least 20 minutes a day for them. During this time, go for a walk, or just simply talk to them. They need time to feel like they can trust and be heard. Soon your 20 minutes a day will become routine, and they will start to ask you questions and let you in on what’s going on with them.    Brilliant children are going to change the world. The future is a revolution, and you are raising a revolutionary. Get up every morning, talk to your child, connect with them, and you will see everything change.

532 - Self-care Shortcut

When we take care of ourselves and lower pressure and noise, momentum in our lives goes up. Not only do we feel better, but it also benefits our business and overall quality of life. Sometimes as entrepreneurs, it’s hard to remember to take care of ourselves. We get busy and put ourselves last. But trust me, that’s the most damaging thing you can do. It actually slows down your productivity.     If you aren’t practicing self-care, don’t go crazy and try to do everything at once. Begin by making simple, subtle changes in your life. The easiest one to start with is hydration. Just getting hydrated can give you massive momentum as an entrepreneur. When you are fully hydrated, you will feel better on a daily basis. You will notice increased awareness for your entire body. If you want to run at an optimal level, you have to be hydrated.    The benefits of drinking water and being hydrated are extraordinary. Start this habit and in 4 weeks, evaluate what’s changed. I guarantee that you will notice amazing changes in your body, business, and overall life. If you’re ready to experience the massive momentum from something as simple as being hydrated, go to getthirstynow.com.   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

533 - Mastermind Meltdown

I’ve seen a mastermind meltdown in the market today. There’s a lot of masterminds out there that don’t have a clear avatar, outcome, or foundation. I’ve watched so many people in the marketplace spend a ton of money and effort only to go backward. Don’t let this be you. Be careful about the mastermind you select. Unless the mastermind is qualified, you’re at risk and subject to a negative influence. Choose a mastermind where people are curated to be in the room, not just there because they cut a check.     Here are some of the filters I use before I consider speaking, supporting, or attending any event. 1- Who is the avatar in the room? 2- What are the stated outcomes? 3- What is the belief process of the mastermind? Try these before you decide to join another mastermind or go to an event.    If you’re looking at joining a mastermind, get clear on what you need and where you are as an entrepreneur. When you join the right mastermind at the right time, your entire business will change. Find a group that’s going to support you in improving your business and your life.   Resources mentioned: Billionairecode.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

534 - The Top Grading Lie

Full disclosure, I have a different experience with most business books than the average person does. Recently I was at a mastermind, and I had a familiar experience. One I have far too often. At this mastermind, someone at my table recommended the book "Topgrading," and I could have jumped out of my skin.    When it comes to books on hiring or processes on recruitment, there's a well-known book out there called "Topgrading." Essentially it's a book based on stack ranking people in a company. Honestly, topgrading is a terrible process and one I've had personal experience with. In this podcast, I share a story of the Topgrading group coming into a company I had partnered on. Tune in to hear how this process failed this business, and how I ended up winning.    There's a ton of books and process out there. You need to be careful about which ones you use and listen to. The majority of them haven't been challenged, and if they were, you would see that they are no good. Topgrading is one of them. If you want advice on how to hire the right people for your business, here's what you need to do. Take your candidates and look at the skill sets they have. Make sure they match your position, but more importantly, make sure they are excited about the job and that they are a true believer. Because you can have the perfect person on paper, but if they aren't genuinely excited about their position and they don't believe they are going to fail you. Find true believers who care and your entire business will change. Lastly, if you haven't yet, don't even bother reading the book "Topgrading."

535 - How to Communicate with a Visionary

Most of my podcasts are directed towards visionary entrepreneurs, but this one is going to be a little different. In this episode, I want to talk to the EPTs who are working with the visionary entrepreneur. When it comes to visionaries, one of the biggest obstacles you will have is with communication. I want to share with you how to better communicate with a visionary in a way that they actually hear you.    Anytime in a business when we can change communication and comprehension, it improves the company. So for you as the EPT working with the visionary, you need to learn how to communicate with them in a way that they hear and understand you, even when it’s challenging. I know that it’s hard to talk about tough issues with a visionary. But as a visionary myself, I can tell you we need to know what’s going on regardless of how difficult the conversation may be. Because if we don’t know what’s going on we can’t change anything and when we get caught off guard, that’s the worst feeling in the world.    Here are a few strategies to communicate with visionaries: 1.) Stop thinking of information as positive and negative. 2.) Be transparent and direct to the point. 3.) Avoid being emotional at all costs; don’t react to the reaction. 4.) Don’t just communicate the issues, come prepared with a solution or two. 5.) Let us know how the problem is going to affect us as a company internally and externally with our clients.    Follow these strategies, and a visionary will hear you and actually look forward to your interactions.

536 - Don't Ever Lead by Example

Recently I was at an amazing event, ArchAngel, in Canada put on by my friend Giovanni Marsico. At the event, we were masterminding at tables, and Gio asked across the room what I thought about entrepreneurs leading by example. I responded by saying entrepreneurs should never lead by example. Disavow any thought of leading by example. It's one of the worst strategies we can use as an entrepreneur. As you can imagine, I had a lot of heads turn so I had to explain myself.     You don't want your team to do what you do. You want your team to do what they do. You want your team to achieve what they are expected of in their individual positions. You don't want them to show up and act like you. Leading by example is one of the biggest traps we can fall into because when we take on the mantle of leading by example, it makes you responsible for what's going on in the business. Not only does it make you solely responsible, but it's also just not enough. It's a good start but here's the problem. Far too many entrepreneurs look at that as "the speed of the boss is the speed of the team." Which really translates to, the speed with which you as the leader to offload and change your behavior is the speed at which your team will modify and grow.    Another reason why you don't want to lead by example is that you don't want a team of people like you. You can be an inspiration to your team as to what a leader looks like, but you don't want them to mimic everything you do. Can you imagine an entire group of people exactly like you? It would be a disaster. So you can be an example, but your team can't succeed just by looking at you as an example. Every member of your team needs clear outcomes, measurements for perspective, and clear accountability.    Don't ever fall into the trap of saying I lead by example. It's one of the most disempowering thought processes you can take on as an entrepreneur. You may inspire people by example and be an example of what someone in your co should look like, but you can't lead by example. You should lead by process, structure, and clarity that will give your team the ability to win.

539 - Become a Passenger in Your Meetings

One of the biggest challenges in entrepreneurial businesses today is meetings. If you are a visionary entrepreneur, you should not be running meetings. One, you probably don’t like doing them and two, you’re probably not very good at it. For the sake of yourself and your team, you should be a passenger in your meetings.    Chances are you are the one currently leading your team meetings, and it needs to stop. You should be a passenger at every meeting. To do that, you need someone else to conduct them. As the CEO of a company, you are much more effective as a participant in meetings. When you aren’t forced to lead a meeting for your team, it’s going to free your mind, give you a different perspective, and provide you with contrast.    Resources mentioned: Billionairecode.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

540 - Difference Makers Are Different

Average people are always going to be average and those who don’t stand out aren’t going to stand out in any way. The people who cling to average and the status quo aren’t going to come into your company and change things for the better.  If you want team members that are going to show up and make a massive difference, they probably aren’t going to look like everyone else.    I hire the highest level of talent and diversity just shows up. When you are looking for talent and incredible people, difference makers are going to be different. If this is what you want, you need to drop the lense of looking for someone who looks a certain way. Some of the most extraordinary people in the world today look extraordinary. When someone shows up, and they are different, maybe bringing that person on your team is just what you need. When you’re hiring and building your team, remember difference makers are different.    If you’re ready to start building a team and have them help you grow a multimillion-dollar company, reach out to us at billionairecode.com.   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

541 - The Million-Dollar Myth

I’ve been working with entrepreneurs for over two decades. Something I can tell you after working with them for that amount of time is when you get a million dollars in your business, things get exponentially harder. Because when entrepreneurs hit a million dollars, it feels like they are working double overtime. You have a limited amount of time, money, focus, energy, and effort. There are limitations with your resources, and you have to choose where to focus them.    If you don’t get ahead of the game and do things the right way, you will put in a lot of effort with little return. To avoid that, you need a system for allocating resources the right way. Because when you hit a million, it’s hard to build the infrastructure of your company. Even though few entrepreneurs acknowledge it, people, processes, and projects are how you build the foundation of your company at a million dollars. But that’s not all, tune in to hear the three things every business owner needs to keep growing successfully...   If you’ve hit the million-dollar mark, I’m excited and proud of you. Getting to this level is something only 3% of businesses do. If you’re ready to get past the million-dollar mark, reach out to us at Billionairecode.com.   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

542 - Investor Pressure

Entrepreneurs who bootstrap and entrepreneurs who have taken money from investors or venture capitalists have two completely different experiences in business. In 99% of the cases where I've worked with entrepreneurs who have taken the money, it doesn't work out to their advantage. They feel a completely different level of pressure with debt and investors over their heads. Tune in for a conversation on loans, partial sales, majority sales, complete sales, and negotiations.    If you're an entrepreneur and your thinking about taking money from investors or venture capitalists, listen to this podcast first. When it comes to taking on funding, loans, or money always do so with caution. Because when you do, it completely changes the way you interact with your business. There's no pressure like taking on money and having investors.        Resources mentioned: Freemomentumbook.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

543 - When Your Ego Protects You from Success

If your ego is protecting you from success, you need to help it get out of the way. So many entrepreneurs get stuck in a place of opportunity. Don’t stay in this place. Get your ego out of the way, commit to what you are going to do, go after it with everything you have, and you will move forward fast.    Tune in for a conversation over the Billionaire Code, the 9 levels every entrepreneur goes through from startup to 100 million and beyond. In this podcast, we focus heavily on the beginning stage, the Seeker. Many entrepreneurs at this stage are stuck and don’t even realize it. They have been in a place of opportunity-seeking and looking at options for a long time. Listen in as I share how to drive forward fast, change things, and actually start building the outcomes you want.    Resources mentioned:  Freemomentumbook.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

544 - Nearly Bankrupt to Booming with Marley Baird

I invited Marley Baird back on for a progress update, and this podcast is one of the most vulnerable and transparent interviews I’ve ever done. Usually, when people are being interviewed in a testimonial style podcast, its all about how perfect everything has been. But not this time.    Since Marley has been in our coaching program, not only has everything not been perfect but just a few months ago she was in a position where she thought she was going to lose it all. After making some hard decisions and implementing the Charfen Cadance, Marley turned her business around to a point that was better than she could have imagined. Tune in, I can’t wait for you to hear how things turned out for her.    Connect with Marley at https://www.marleybairdmedia.com/.   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

545 - Part 1: Attributes of the EPT

The next four podcasts are a special 4 part series. Earlier this year, I presented a keynote at the Titan Summit, and the presentation was too good not to share. The speech I gave was probably the most impactful keynote I’ve ever done. The room was filled with high performers just like you and me; it was incredible. This presentation was so engaging that you’re going to feel like you were right in the room with us. I can’t wait for you to hear it.     Tune in for Part 1 of this series. I cover the attributes of the Entrepreneurial Personality Type (EPT). I go into how these attributes that make us so strong and allow us to go out and change things in the world are the same ones that cause us to appear broken and challenged. After hearing about them, I know you will be able to relate.    As EPT’s, we challenge the status quo, move things forward, and evolve humanity, but we are often misunderstood. When we are faced with pressure and noise in our lives, the attributes we have create challenging behaviors. But when we keep pressure and noise to a minimum in our lives, we move forward crazy fast. Listen in as we figure out how to control pressure and noise together.   If you’re looking to go forward with clarity and want to know exactly what you need to do to create momentum based on where your business is today head over to  https://billionairecode.com/apply-now.   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

546 - Part 2: The Three States of Momentum

Tune in for part 2 of my presentation at the Titan Summit. In this section, I unpack the three different states of momentum. Knowing the states of momentum is critical for any entrepreneur. Because when we're in momentum going forward, we are exactly where we want to be. It's then that we are connected to our purpose, our soul, it's who we are. But when we're not, we are in constraint, and we're miserable.    As Entrepreneurial Personality Types (EPTs), we are momentum-based beings. We are physiologically, cognitively, and chemically sensitive. Listen in as we discuss the three states of momentum: being in momentum, facing resistance, and dealing with constraint.    If you're looking for clarity on how to really scale your business and stay in momentum, head over to https://billionairecode.com/apply-now.   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

547 - Part 3: Asking Questions to Get Ahead

Listen in for part 3 of my presentation at the Titan Summit. This segment is all about asking the right questions to achieve success. We go over specific themes with successful people such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. We take a look at them because starting off, Bill and Warren were just like you. They just knew what questions to ask and how to use them to get ahead.    Here’s the thing - as entrepreneurs, questions fundamentally drive us. It’s just how we are wired. We have questions that drive our life. We have questions that drive us crazy. We question just about everything - as we should. Tune in to hear the questions you should be asking to get yourself ahead and achieve massive levels of success.    Make sure to listen to the episode, but the reality is to scale your business you need to simplify. In our coaching programs, our clients who have experienced fast growth have a common denominator...they simplified like crazy.

548 - Part 4: The Contribution Equation

Here is the fourth and final part of my presentation at the Titan Summit. In this segment, I go into the contribution equation. Tune in with me as I dive into the meaning of life for entrepreneurs and what differentiates people from the very top to those that want to be there.    You will hear it in the episode, but there are two things you need if you want to go and make your greatest contribution. The first step - relentlessly lower pressure and noise in your life. The second step - tirelessly ask for protection and support from those around you. If you are willing to follow these steps, soon you will join the entrepreneurs at the top.    If you’ve missed the other three parts of this series, make sure to go back and listen to them. After hearing this final part of the series, it’s pretty clear that no matter where an entrepreneur is on their journey...they need support and real growth and scale solutions to build their businesses.

549 - Special Guest: Laura Alvarado

In this episode, we bring on our very own Laura Alvarado. Before working with us, was running a few pretty successful gyms. Her business was doing over seven figures, and she was only working 5 to 10 hours a week. While this sounds like a dream to most people, it was the opposite for Laura. She found herself bored, feeling unfulfilled, and wanting something more.    Typically people come to us looking for help growing and scaling their businesses, but Laura came to us because she wanted a challenge. She wasn’t in momentum and desperately wanted to be. After going through our Momentum Masterclass and implementing our tools such as the Charfen Cadence, everything changed for her. She finally found herself being challenged, feeling like she was making an impact, and she was able to grow as a leader. She launched her latest business in March and is at a $700,000 run rate. Things have been going great for her. Oh, and she’s working 40+ hours a week, happier than she’s ever been!     Resources mentioned:  gymleadconverter.com/freereport - Download Laura’s free report!

550 - Part 1: Become a Passenger in Your Business

The next three episodes are part of a special series. Just a few days ago, my team and I were all together in Austin, Texas hosting our Billionaire Code Summit. We hold this event three times a year, and this one was by far the best one yet. We had entrepreneurs with 6, 7, and 8 figure businesses come to this event from all over the world.    We decided to capture a portion of it so you could feel like you were right there with us. Tune in to hear from Daniel Rosen, Emily Hirsh, and Wallace Nelson during our client panel. They share with us how they were able to become a passenger in their businesses, how they learned to drop their ego, become vulnerable, and ultimately surrender to scale massively. The three of these entrepreneurs are breaking records in their businesses, and I think you're going to benefit a ton from hearing from them.    If you're looking for more support and want to know how we help entrepreneurs at every level grow and scale their businesses, build their teams, and make sure their contribution in this world is massive, head on over to https://billionairecode.com/apply-now.    When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

566 - I'm Back, Notes on My Sabbatical

You read the title right; I’m back. You’ve probably noticed that in the last five weeks, I haven’t recorded a single podcast episode. If you don’t follow me on social media or subscribe to our emails, you probably don’t know this, but just recently I took over three weeks off from work. If you’re wondering why here it is...I needed time and space to process after my mom, and good friend Sean Stephenson passed away. After a big realization, I stepped out of my business and took time off social media. In such a short few weeks, I learned a ton, and I’m finally ready to share my experience with you.      Man, it feels so good to be back, but I have to admit it’s been hard to pick up the mic and record. In this episode, I want to share with you why you haven’t heard from me directly and what’s been going on in my life. After the passing of my mom, I had two weeks of work scheduled that I had to push through. Shortly after, I noticed I was reacting and regressing in ways I haven’t in a long time.

567 - Everything Happens for a Reason

When I was a kid, my mom had this saying when something challenging happened - everything happens for a reason, let’s find the reason. When I was younger, I fought it. But as an adult, this saying has proven true.    Regardless of what’s happened in my life, everything has happened for a reason. In this episode, I share with you a few examples of challenges I’ve faced and what reasons I’ve found for them. We talk about everything from my bankruptcy to a panic attack at an old job. I also share a recent story that brought me to tears talking about it again.    No matter the size of the challenge, there’s an underlying reason or lesson in there somewhere. Sometimes we know the reason right away, and sometimes we won’t realize it until years later. But trust me, there’s always one there. It’s up to find the reason or accept that it’s true. Tune in - this episode is a good one.   If you’re ready to grow your business and move forward quickly, reach out to us at https://billionairecode.com/apply-now.   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

568 - Interview with Heather Wright and Our Coach Deanna

My favorite podcasts to record are the ones where we feature our clients. Needless to say, today’s episode is no exception. I’m so excited to share with you this podcast I recorded with Heather Wright and one of our Coaches, Deanna.    A little background…     Heather was the first member of our newest coaching program, Catalyst. In this episode, you will get the chance to meet her, hear about her business, and the progress she’s made in just six weeks. Get ready, Heather has an incredibly funny personality and made this episode a ton of fun.    Before joining our tribe, Heather really wanted to grow her business in a way that would provide passive income. She kept searching for that magic pill or solution that would get her results fast. After trying multiple “pills” and looking high and low for that quick fix, Heather came across our content. It was the opposite of everything she had ever heard, but it made her stop and think. Just maybe, our approach was exactly what she needed…   Fast forward to 6 weeks later in the program - Heather has already had a massive breakthrough. She realized there isn’t a quick solution, and that she needs to put the time, work, processes, and systems into her business to grow. She is now more organized, reduced her shiny object syndrome, has clear goals, and a crystal clear plan on where she should be spending her time on.     Resources mentioned:    Billionairecode.com  Savvyagent.co   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

569 - How to Create a System of Winning

If you’ve built a team and you’re starting to develop a leadership team, this podcast is one you need to hear. In this episode, I share with you the most productive way to run a business and things you should work towards if you want to create a culture of winning.    My team and I have had what I’m about to share with you set in place for a while, but this past week we reiterated it...I’m not able to change things in the business, and there’s a good reason why. I can’t change my team’s priorities, projects, deadlines, or outcome in any way - unless it’s a real emergency. And for me to step in at an emergency level, things have to be pretty bad. If that happens, I regroup with my leadership team, and we will shift priorities. But otherwise, I’m hands-off, and that’s the way it should be for a CEO.     Because in most businesses, the team is fighting with the entrepreneur for their time and focus. The problem is, in entrepreneurial companies, the focus usually shifts so often that no one can keep track of where the business is going or what they should be doing. This leads to the two biggest complaints I hear - there’s a lack of communication, and the team doesn’t know what’s going on. Tune in to hear why our business and the businesses we coach run differently than 99% of companies out there, and how yours can too.    Resources mentioned:   Billionairecode.com   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

570 - Your Momentum Equation

When we as entrepreneurs finally understand how we can create momentum, things shift in our lives for the better. In this episode, we’re going to walk through an important exercise I call the Momentum Equation. I’m going to share with you the framework and questions that work universally to create success and identify clear patterns of growth.    Simply by thinking of periods of momentum in your life and answering three questions, you can revisit the momentum in your past, apply those lessons in your life today, and get back into momentum to make things happen. If you’re listening to this on the go, take mental notes. But by the end of the day, I ask that you sit down and write out the answers for this exercise. Because physically writing things out and visually seeing them is proven to be more effective. Tune in as I share with you an example of a period of momentum in my life, and reveal the framework for the Momentum Equation.   Resource mentioned:   http://momentummasterclass.com/ - get clear on exactly what you want in your life, business, and relationships.    When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

571 - Trust Creates Scale

I just wrapped up another event with Taki Moore in Southern California. I had the privilege to speak to his higher-level board room this week, and I want to share with you all the same message I shared with them - that trust creates scale. One of the fastest ways to grow your business is to build trust with your team, and in this episode, I share with you exactly how.    When entrepreneurs get to the point in their business where the success they can create alone is no longer enough, that’s when they need a team. Because with a team, we can create a bigger impact, more significant outcomes, and go out and make things really happen for our business. It’s hard to do, but when we admit we need help, we can start building a team and trust with them to scale. Tune in as I share with you the three places you must focus on to create trust within your entire organization. Get ready to show up in a way that will establish not only trust but also massive growth in your business.      Resource mentioned:  Get more help with this by reaching out to us at http://predictablebusinesssystems.com/.    When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

572 - Passenger Status

As promised in last week’s episode, in this podcast, I want to discuss becoming a passenger in your business. When I was at Taki Moore’s event this past week, I was in a room full of million-dollar+ coaches, and I shared with them the goal we have for our clients - to get them to passenger status. Since this group had a ton of questions and took such an interest in the topic, I knew it was time to revisit it on our podcast.       Let’s be real, visionary entrepreneurs are not great at running meetings and really shouldn’t be the one conducting them to begin with. At one point in our business, we didn’t have a choice but to run them and do everything ourselves. But once we get to the place where we have a team, and maybe you are there now, it’s time to take a step back and become a passenger.      My goal for you and any client we work with is to get out of the tactical seat and into the strategic one. Remember, the captain of the ship doesn’t sit at the steering wheel...and as the CEO of your company, you shouldn’t either. Once you get yourself into passenger status, everything becomes easier, and you will experience momentum like never before. Listen in as I share with you how to become a passenger in your business, so you can step into the strategic role you should be in.  If you want help getting to passenger status fast, reach out to us at http://predictablebusinesssystems.com/.   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

573 - Consulting Malpractice

In this episode, we’re going to discuss consulting malpractice and just how damaging it can be. But before we dive in further, I want to forewarn you that this topic is a massive trigger for me. Far too many consultants give bad advice, experiment on successful organizations, have absolutely no track record, and really no business consulting entrepreneurs in the first place.      I share a story in this episode that, unfortunately, isn’t uncommon. Consulting malpractice happens all the time, and it’s up to you to protect your business against it. Before even considering getting help from a consultant, make sure the service they provide is actually something your company needs, they know what they are doing, and you check their track record. Even after going through those filters, make certain that you have the time, effort, and energy to commit to the outcome you are working towards. Listen in as I share with you how to defend your business, so you don’t become a victim of consulting malpractice.    Resource mentioned:  Put the right process and systems in place so you can grow and scale today - http://predictablebusinesssystems.com/.   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

574 - Stop Chasing Transformation

Entrepreneurs are addicted to transformation. There’s that burning desire in us to grow, evolve, do more, and achieve more. The problem is, our hope for change leads us to chase transformation rather than chasing an outcome.   As entrepreneurs, we need to know where we are going. We need a plan in place with clear expectations. Otherwise, we are unconsciously consuming, and that becomes the activity we focus on. But when we chase outcomes rather than transformation, everything in our lives change. We get into momentum, and that’s when we truly transform.    Resource mentioned: If you’re ready to finally see what your business is capable of and to get the support you need, reach out to us at http://predictablebusinesssystems.com/.   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

575 - Caution: One on One

As many of you know, I used to be a one on one consultant for over a decade. With that said, today’s podcast topic is going to be one that will seem very surprising coming from me. I want to talk about why one on one coaching or consulting may not be your best option, and how it may end up hurting you rather than helping you. If you are currently working with someone one on one or plan to in the near future, listen to this episode first and then proceed with caution.     In most cases, working one to one is not as beneficial as working with a consultant who has built out their systems with a team. One to one consultants usually have a lack of systems, documentation, and processes with no built out structure. Even though you feel like you’re getting all of their attention and a personalized delivery, this isn’t usually the case. What you are often getting is a much slower and tedious delivery, rather than one that’s fast and all at once.    One to one consulting seems like the easiest and most valuable choice, but it’s the most dangerous way to move towards an outcome. If you want real results and fast, you need a consultant who has systems and a team. You will receive the outcome they have created with their team through processes, documentation, structure, and a platform you can rely on.    Resource mentioned:  http://predictablebusinesssystems.com/   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

576 - The Charfen Process

In this episode, I’m going to share with you the strategies we teach entrepreneurs to achieve massive growth. Entrepreneurs from all over the world have applied our concepts and grown their business like crazy. Our systems work, and there’s a reason. We show them exactly how to grow their business through our simple 5 step framework called The Charfen Process.    This episode is a must-hear for CEOs. Because as a CEO, when you go through a process like this, you start to build more trust with your team. When they see you follow a process over and over again that get’s a consistent result, you actually appear and become a better CEO. Our process has changed people’s businesses, but what we’re most proud of is this process changing people’s lives. The people we have worked with have come back to us and said by using this consistent process, their personal lives have gotten better, their health has improved, and their relationships have improved. As the entrepreneur in charge, when you have a clear process that works over and over again, and you begin to trust it, it makes everything in your life easier.      Resource mentioned: http://predictablebusinesssystems.com/   When you’re ready, here are a few ways my team and I can help scale your business: 1.

578 - Consistency Scales

There’s a massive difference between what actually grows businesses and what most people sell and market to entrepreneurs. If you’re lucky, over the top promotions may generate success for you in the short term, but it doesn’t create sustainable growth. The fact is, consistency over time scales a business, and it’s about the only thing that does.    With so many entrepreneurs being misled and going in the wrong direction today, this is a topic I’m passionate about and felt compelled to deliver the truth on. Tune in to hear how you can become more consistent as a leader with your team, and in your business. Once you master this, everything will change, and you will start to scale at the rate you’ve always wanted.   If you’re ready to become more consistent so you can scale your business, reach out to us.

579 - An Interview with Dr. Nancy Miggins

There are a lot of ways to create success in the world today, but there’s one way that’s often overlooked and undervalued - drinking water. You don’t realize how much resistance and constraint you are experiencing from dehydration until you are hydrated. As I often say, water is a gateway drug to success.    To show you just how life-changing being hydrated can be, I invited Dr. Nancy Miggins on the podcast. She’s going to share insights with you on drinking water and how our free Natural Thirst Challenge completely transformed her life. Dr. Nancy Miggins started drinking more water, and it helped her to become who she really wanted to be.

580 - Survive Q4 With a Team

Growing a business, building a team, and getting people to work together isn’t easy. While these things are hard enough on their own, they are infinitely more difficult when you get thrown a curveball. In my experience, the biggest challenges and speed bumps come around the fourth quarter. In fact, the fourth quarter of every year is like a minefield for entrepreneurs.    If you have a team and you don’t anticipate or prepare for this time of year, you’re going to start seeing behaviors on your team that don't really make sense. You will notice some team members missing things, breaking down, becoming more reactive, and withdrawing. This episode is all about understanding where these behaviors come from, and how you can not only survive, but stay in momentum during the fourth quarter with your team.          Resources mentioned:    Episode 95: Don’t Join “The Crowd” In Q4 - http://charfen.com/95  Reach out to us - http://predictablebusinesssystems.com/   P.S.

581 - The Integrator Myth

For visionary entrepreneurs, one of the biggest fantasies out there is to hire one person who is going to do all the things in our business that we don’t want to do, so we can stay in the visionary seat and grow our business without any frustration or pain. It feels like if we could only find the person that would take care of all of the details, we could stay in our zone of genius. The issue is, it takes a lot more than just a person; it takes an entire system to protect and support an entrepreneur. The expectation that a single person will come in and fix everything is unfair to them and unfair to you.     The Traction EOS System revolves around the concept of an innovator who does everything in the business for the entrepreneur. And this podcast I discuss why this is not only unrealistic, it may cause you serious issues and get you stuck in a way no entrepreneur wants to be stuck.   Resource mentioned:  http://predictablebusinesssystems.com/    P.S.

582 - Interview with Dr. Stephanie Estima

There are times in an entrepreneur’s life when they can feel stuck, trapped, and suffocated by their business. In service-based industries, this reality can completely stifle growth and cause the entrepreneur to feel pain every time they think about their business. It can feel like there is no escaping the day-to-day issues of serving clients directly, but there is hope for every entrepreneur with a medical practice, law firm, or any other service business. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Estima discusses the challenges of meeting those challenges head-on and how she overcame them.    By implementing processes, systems, and structure into her business, Dr. Stephanie Estima has grown past the feeling of being stuck. She created a business that has allowed her to step out of the day-to-day operation of her company and put all of her focus on the strategic growth of the empire she is creating. She went from the brink of giving up on her chiropractic practice entirely to fulfilling her mission of changing the world through her business. The reality is that, for entrepreneurs, feeling stuck in our business can feel like drowning. By implementing processes and systems in your business, you can breach the surface of the water and radically change your business.   Resources mentioned:   PredictableBusinessSystems.com   P.S.

583 - Plan to Break the Biggest Bottleneck

In an entrepreneurial business, the most common issue I’ve encountered is that the entrepreneur in charge is buried by the responsibilities of running and growing that business on a day-to-day basis. More often than not, entrepreneurs say that they are drowning in things that need to get done. At the end of the day, they look at what they still have left to do and wonder how in the world they are going to get it done. It’s as if the entire business is hitting a bottleneck and there is no end in sight.    There is only one way to break that bottleneck and allow your business to grow faster than you ever thought possible. In this episode, I will expose the biggest bottleneck in your business and give you the tangible, tactical, and transformative steps you need to take in order to break that bottleneck and allow your business to grow exponentially. Your business has the potential to change the world, and the only way to see that potential become a reality is to implement a strategic plan. Let me show you exactly how to do it.

584 - It Isn't Your Mindset That is the Issue

On a recent live training I held for entrepreneurs of every size business, I had the opportunity to speak directly to an issue in the business of a very special entrepreneur. We had an amazing conversation, and it started out--as it does for so many entrepreneurs who are running multimillion-dollar businesses--with her feeling like there was something wrong with her. She felt like she needed to shift her mindset or change her thinking around this issue. Something she was doing in front of her team that did not make her appear "as her full, authentic self." Once the conversation concluded, the concerns about her mindset, herself, and how she was showing up to her team significantly changed.  I offered her an entirely different solution to her problem. If you're trying to grow and scale a business, mindset often has far less to do with the issues you’re facing than is perceived in the market today. Instead, I could see that Lori was dealing with something that could only be adequately fixed by surrounding herself with a process that allowed her to show up in front of her team in a predictable, reliable, and stable way. This was not about her mindset, it was about the process. Resources mentioned: PredictableBusinessSystems.com

585 - The Solopreneur Fantasy

Being a solopreneur is a fantasy. This conversation happens so often in the entrepreneurial world. Entrepreneurs have the idea in their head that they don’t need anybody else in order to grow their business to where they want to be. They think they can do it all themselves, and that a team would only slow them down. The problem with this line of thinking is that there is not a single entrepreneur in the history of the world who was able to build the business of their dreams without a team. If you make the decision to build a team, you will have the opportunity to change the world. The issue is that entrepreneurs often feel like a team will restrict them and take away their freedom. They became entrepreneurs to shake off the responsibilities of managing other people. The problem is that building a business on your own is one of the most damaging things you can do to your body, your mind, and your relationships. The commitment to build a team is what truly creates freedom. If you know you have the opportunity to make a bigger impact, grow a massive business, and change the world for the better, it is time to give up what is really holding you back: The Solopreneur Fantasy.

586 - Habitually Create a Performance Culture

For some companies building a culture means parties, get-togethers for lunch, happy hours, and beer kegs with taps in their break room. For me, it means something completely different. So let me show a path that I have been using successfully and why I believe it's so important to build the right type of culture if you expect to get real results in your business. Your business's culture should be the glue that holds your company together. It should be the way that you bring in the right people, reject those that shouldn't work there, and create the outcomes you and your company are aiming at. On this podcast, I will give you my hard-fought secret on how to build it. Resources mentioned: PredictableBusinessSolutions.com

587 - Be Wrong More Often

One of the greatest lessons that I learned in leading and growing teams is that it's okay to be wrong. I spent the first large percentage of my career trying never to be wrong and never let them see me sweat. It was when I finally realized that accepting where I was wrong is what was necessary for my company to grow that my life and my business both turned around. On today’s podcast, I will show you what happens on the highest level of business, how I almost got killed trying to prove that I was always right, and how my clients are getting massive results by learning to be vulnerable and letting their team challenge them.

588 - The Real Predictability Problem

There's an epidemic today that I see over and over again. When I attend events, when I speak to groups of entrepreneurs, when I do Q&As, there's this epidemic of entrepreneurs creating a business, growing it, making a contribution and then, and when the business stumbles or doesn't grow like they want, here's what entrepreneurs do: We all blame ourselves. We ask the question, What's wrong with me? What do I need to improve about myself? What do I need to change about myself? How do I need to change my mindset? I want you to know I've been there. I've felt those feelings. And you are probably NOT the problem. On today's podcast, I will share how I transformed my business by focusing on some key elements that are usually THE REAL problem for entrepreneurs. These are some simple tactics that will help you grow personally, help you move forward with less pressure, and create predictability in your business.

Rachel Miller doesn’t just run a multimillion-dollar business, work with some of the top names in the market today, and help thousands of entrepreneurs grow their businesses, but she’s also a mom of six who runs a household at the same time she’s running a business.  In a world where many people create excuses, Rachel creates possibilities. On this podcast, we will share the ‘horrible story’ of making more than half a million dollars in four days while feeling completely empty, how she runs her company now while taking care of six kids, and how she used our programs to grow into a life of freedom for her business and her family.

590 - The Answer is NOT Sales and Marketing

On today’s episode, I invited Jeremy Bergeron (the business strategist for our company) to discuss the biggest problem that he hears from the dozens of entrepreneurs he talks to every week. Jeremy points out how almost all entrepreneurs that he has worked with think they have a sales and marketing problem. But in reality, we have found some key components that are NOT sales and marketing, and that, when fixed, has transformed the hundreds of businesses we have helped in our consulting program. Jeremy has worked for companies like Facebook and Google and has a ridiculous amount of understanding of business. Let's learn with Jeremy why sales and marketing is not your problem.

592 - Decision Making in a Crisis

In the midst of a global crisis, entrepreneurs around the world are overwhelmed with decisions that must be made in order to survive. In 2007, I faced a very similar situation with the U.S. economic collapse that sent my wife and me spiraling into bankruptcy. That situation was one of the most humbling and devastating experiences I’ve ever gone through, but it taught me the importance of decision-making in crisis situations. Within a year, Cadey and I were liquid millionaires once more, and by 2011 we had built a company that was #21 on the Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing companies in the United States.  In this episode of the Momentum Podcast, I want to share with you the exact process and framework we used in the midst of the financial crisis of 2007 to make decisions on a consistent and recurring basis. Not only did this framework save us and make us millions of dollars, but it is also still changing the lives of entrepreneurs all across the globe through our coaching programs. You can and will get through this, and when you can make the right decisions, you can continue to grow your business even when the world is in a panic.

My wife, Cadey, and I have built businesses that have helped thousands of entrepreneurs navigate crisis situations. We helped thousands of entrepreneurs navigate a financial crisis that was brought on by the market, personal issues, and challenges in their business. There is a way to successfully navigate challenging times for entrepreneurs and the good news is that we can do it successfully every time.  I’ve seen it, coached it, and implemented it myself in order to build successful businesses in the middle of challenging circumstances. In this episode, I want to help you understand that in the middle of a crisis, there is more opportunity. Multi-billion-dollar companies will be launched in this crisis. Opportunities come when markets are unstable and there's only one way for us as entrepreneurs to take advantage of them. We must adopt the right mindset.

594 - Process Calms Entrepreneurial Anxiety

In moments of panic and overwhelm, one constant keeps entrepreneurs like you and me grounded, present, and magnetic: Process. Process is what sets you free in your business, and it is what creates momentum for you in challenging times. The market right now is volatile, overwhelming, and scary, but there is hope for entrepreneurs around the world in process. In this episode of the Momentum Podcast, I want to take you through a series of simple, yet powerful processes that you can implement right now in order to get back into momentum and fight the panic that is sweeping the market. By taking these steps, you can get your life and business back on track and start moving in the right direction.

595 - How to Go Virtual Fast

There is no denying the need for businesses all around the world to transition to a virtual environment in a rapid and effective way. The challenge of the current market is that people are restricted from being in the same room with one another, but the technology and the mindset of the world has never been more poised to make this happen. You can take your team and business virtual quickly and effectively if you follow a clear process, and I want to show you how to do it. In this episode of the Momentum Podcast, I will show you exactly what you need in order to take an in-person team into a virtual space. I run a multi-million dollar virtual business and coach entrepreneurs around the world who do the same.

596 - Process Creates Positive Thinking

When someone says something like “all we need to do is think positive.” I will admit that I am immediately irritated. If all it took for people to move forward in the world was thinking positive, we would all think positive and everything will be resolved. Especially in a crisis situation, that's just not how it works. If you are trying to white knuckle or use will power to create positive thinking, it just won't work. The higher the pressure and noise, the more difficult it is to remain positive.  In this episode of the Momentum Podcast, I will show you that the only way to make sure you remain positive and consistent is to create process in your life and in your business. Just thinking positively is not enough, process creates positive thinking. Implementing these simple processes into your life and into your business will radically change the way you are able to make it through this challenging time.

597 - Know Your Worst-Case Scenario

Crises create ambiguity. Ambiguity creates insecurity. Insecurity will rob your momentum. The first thing to do in a crisis is to eliminate ambiguity and understand your financial situation. It is a challenging place to go in challenging times, but understanding exactly what is happening for you and your business financially will provide an invaluable perspective into how your business can start to recover and overcome the current market. Very few people go straight to the worst-case scenario in a crisis, because we are all trying to avoid it. Those who do and understand what could happen, have a basis for making better decisions. By eliminating ambiguity and understanding your financial position, you will create a foundation so you can make far better decisions. Resources Mentioned:PredictableBusinessSolutions.com

Today more than ever as leaders we need to be aware, present, and able to make the right decisions. The reality is that, as a leader in your business, your team will respond to the way you show up, now more than ever before. Being present and showing up in the right way will create confidence in your team during these challenging times. In this episode of the Momentum Podcast, I want to show you what it takes to create the systems in your life that will prevent a crisis from doing damage to your business. It may sound cliché to "put your mask on first" but in a crisis like this one, it's not a cliché it's mandatory. When you are in leadership, the way you show up is going to determine how your team shows up, this is more important now than ever.

599 - Document Core Processes to Thrive

In a crisis or any other time, efficiency is critical in business. One of the recurring issues we see in almost all businesses is that the core processes, the ones that create revenue for the business, are often undocumented and unclear. Having documented processes will separate your business from the crowd and make your business real. These define the foundation of what your business does and who your business is. One of the fastest ways to get your business into momentum is to document your processes. Now is an opportune time to document your processes, clarify them, and make them as efficient as possible. With documentation, you can see a reduction in the time needed to complete a process by as much as 90%. I share this figure with people all the time, let me share with you a recent issue in our company and the 90% reduction that documenting process created.

Working with entrepreneurs has shown me that we are the most consistent source of positive momentum for humanity. Here’s what’s going to happen in this crisis.

The world needs us now more than it ever has. I want this episode of the Momentum Podcast to encourage you. Don’t ever apologize for doing business, selling, or moving things forward as long as you are doing it in an ethical way, we need you to.

601 - Your Business Can Be Predictable, Even in a Crisis

When I was just getting started as an entrepreneur, the word "predictable" sounded negative to me. I wanted things to be exciting, spontaneous, I wanted to freedom, predictability seemed like a step in the wrong direction. As my business grew, and I got busier, I started realizing that without predictability, I wasn't going to make it. Things got so overwhelming so fast that I felt like I was doing everything, falling behind on a daily basis, and I was constantly overwhelmed. I went from loving my business to having trouble getting out of bed every day because I was felt like I was getting constantly beat up. My quest for excitement and spontaneity turned into a daily battle with trying to keep up with everything. When I finally stopped finding predictability, systems, routines, and process everything changed. My business started running like I wanted it to, it required far less for me, and I actually achieved the freedom that I've always wanted. Your business can be predictable, even in this crisis.

As entrepreneurs we fight process, structure, and routine, it's just part of who we are. I know I thought these are for years. I felt like creating process, structure, and routine was going to limit my creativity, it was way too controlling, it was going to take away the freedom I want it as an entrepreneur. Today I can't believe I ever thought any of those things. Process, structure, and routine have all created freedom in my life that I have been wanting forever. The freedom to do what I want, the freedom to do only the work that I like, and the freedom to grow like crazy regardless of what is happening around me. In a crisis like we are experiencing today, there is a totally different type of freedom. Because my team and I have clear processes and structure, we are creating momentum, moving forward, and making things happen. Resources Mentioned: PredictableBusinessSolutions.com

As entrepreneurs, we should understand what the most likely scenario is. Not the politicized scenario but the one that is proven through math. Math is how we run our businesses, math is how we make a profit, and if you're anything like me, you see the world through equations.

This is typically exactly the way the world works. Here's what's important in this crisis, that you personally protect yourself from the chaos. That you remain calm and grounded and you're able to make decisions in a way that moves you forward. The world is going to panic, breakdown, have massive challenges, and more. We are going to see erratic behaviors, personal breakdowns, and challenges at the individual level like we've never seen before. This event is traumatizing to everyone on the planet.

Last week when jobless claims numbers came out, the secretary of US treasury Steve Mnuchin said that the numbers were not relevant because it was a stimulus package that was about to be released. If you follow me, you know I said not only were the numbers relevant, but this was a ridiculous statement. Last week's numbers were seven times the previous record. Since last week I've been waiting for the jobless claims number to come out this morning. When it did I was dizzy. The new jobless claims number is 6,648,000 people in a single week. This beats the previous record from 1980 to 695,000 by almost 10 times. As entrepreneurs, we need to understand that this is a long-term issue and a challenge we will be digging out of for years.

As entrepreneurs, we like to keep score. We like to know who's ahead, and we like the win. We are evolutionary hunters and we want to know if we are gaining on our prey. Understanding where we stand is important to us. One of the most important metrics we use is money. The problem is that in a crisis like this, sometimes it's the only metric we look at. We look at what we're losing in terms of revenue. Property owners like me think about the equity that may be slipping away. We think constantly about all the plans we had for the money we are going to make with the business that we were running just before this crisis hit. As entrepreneurs, we do what most people feel is impossible in order to make money. When we lose it, it's hard for us to think about anything else.

610 - Vitamins vs. Painkillers in a Crisis

If you want to sell a product in a crisis, you have to make it a painkiller. Here's what I mean, in a normal market, people are willing to invest in improvement. They will buy things that make their lives better, like a vitamin. In a crisis, people buy things to solve problems get out of pain. If you're not selling a painkiller in a crisis, it is going to be very difficult to be heard. When the world is noisy people don't think improvement, they want to make the noise go away. If you're having trouble selling in a crisis, ask yourself if you're selling a painkiller that solves someone's problem? If you can solve someone's problem better than anyone else can, you will exponentially grow a business in a crisis.

As an entrepreneur and if you could predict the future, you would.

When the world is in crisis, by understanding what is the clear most likely scenario, as an entrepreneur or you can gain a massive advantage. It can be hard to cut through the noise, politics, arguments, opinions, and even conspiracy theories that can all add to the confusion. The good news is that viruses are normal, viruses a part of the human condition, and viruses are predictable. For entrepreneurs, this is what's most important. We need to know what's going to happen next so that we can anticipate and overcome the challenges this crisis is going to have for us. Resources Mentioned: https://ClarityDuringCrisis.com

As an entrepreneur if you could tell the future, it would give you an unfair advantage over all of your competitors.

While this crisis has created a tremendous amount of ambiguity and anxiety, it is actually relatively predictable what is going to happen next. If we look at the research on viruses throughout history, not specifically the coronavirus, we already understand how viruses act. If you are running a business in this crisis, it's important for you to know what reality is, so that you can make the best decisions for your family, yourself, and your business.

When there is a crisis, we are the ones who step forward, create solutions, and make things happen.

614 - How Hard Should You Pivot?

One of the questions I'm getting most often today is "how do I know how much I should pivot?” This comes as no surprise because 100% of businesses are going to pivot in some way due to this crisis. The key to surviving this crisis and thriving as a business is knowing how much you should pivot and why. There is a clear way to understand what your business needs to do and why do you need to make a minor, major, or absolute pivot. I've helped hundreds of entrepreneurs and grow businesses through a crisis, knowing exactly how to set your company up for success is crucial. Resources Mentioned: https://clarityduringcrisis.com

615 - Your Pivot Plan

100% of businesses need to pivot right now. Some are making a minor pivot, some are making major changes, and some are going to change almost everything or start over. Yesterday I shared how to understand which of these three your company needs. Today I want to share how to create your pivot plan. Crisis creates ambiguity, and ambiguity creates constraint. In a crisis, it's important to lower ambiguity and increase clarity for everyone on your team and everyone around you. In a pivot, it feels natural to make decisions on the fly, without using a framework, and use your gut. This is dangerous. Especially if you have a team. In the middle of a crisis like this is not a time to be doing things without a high level of certainty and a high level of clarity. Creating a plan will help you create both in your company. When you teach your team how to repeatedly execute the same type of plan, you create predictable results in your business.

617 - The Virtual (R)evolution

Over the past several weeks the globe has conducted the largest work from home experiment in history. Hundreds of millions of people went from working in offices, to working out of their kitchens, bedrooms, and living rooms. And in at least one case, a woman took her computer into the bathroom with her on a zoom call and made national news. The workplace has permanently changed and it's never going to go back to what we used to think was normal. Millions of companies just realized they don't need the infrastructure, or more importantly the overhead they have been spending on massive offices. Many of them have also realized their employees are more productive even though they are working at home. There are some companies that are going through challenges, but just as many or more are feeling all of the advantages of having a remote workforce. Working virtually, remotely, and from home is going to be a permanent part of every type of business moving forward. Businesses who don't have a work from home component will be seen as having a disadvantage. In the future, a metric the companies will measure is how much of the workforce can work from home. With the right elements in place, working remotely can be far more productive than in person. With a virtual workforce, companies can spend less and grow faster. If you find you and your team working virtually, having the right process, structure and routine changes everything.

618 - Avatar Obsessed

Understanding who you are talking to and the type of person you create will define how you market, how you deliver your product, and how you speak to members of your programs. In this episode, I will break down what it means to own your avatar so that you can get clarity on exactly who it is you are serving. This will help you narrow down your avatar to a singular person to whom you are speaking. This will allow your message to come through clearer, cut through the noise, and will create more sales in your business. We want you to do more than just define your avatar, we want you to own it. When you clearly own your avatar, you can turn your business into a movement. Resources Mentioned: https://clarityduringcrisis.com

619 - Hold Space For More Effective Meetings

Let’s get real, most entrepreneurs do not love meetings. We actually talk about how much we can’t stand them. The issue we have is, we reach a point in our careers when the momentum we can create on our own isn’t enough. At that point it’s time to build a team so that we can continue to expand and grow. Just as quickly as we build a team, we are apprehensive about spending time with them. The majority of entrepreneurs I know do everything they can to avoid too many meetings with their team. A lot of the time then entrepreneurs are in meetings it’s because they didn’t get it right the first time. If you can make your meetings more efficient, more effective, and get the best out of your people, you will actually be excited to be in them. Resources Mentioned: https://charfen.com/community

620 - The Tale of Two Businesses

There is no doubt that the world has shifted. As entrepreneurs, there are two things we need to do. First, we need to orient towards the future and figure out where are we going. Second, we should completely and totally commit to growing through this transition. If you are able to orient yourself toward the future and commit to growth, you will get into momentum. In this episode, I want to tell you about two entrepreneurs, each with their own business in a similar market, who are experiencing two very different realities right now based on how they are responding to the world right now.

A friend of mine got a message today that said… I've been following you and Alex Charfen for a while it seems that the two of you are on the opposite sides of the spectrum regarding everything COVID-19.

622 - Process Produces Growth Part 1 (Member Panel)

My team and I recently held our very first virtual summit for our members. It was massively successful and one of the best portions of the event centered around a conversation with our members who are finding success in growth in this market. Meaghan Connell, Julie Broad, Lars Hedenborg, and Adi Jaffe are all experiencing massive growth using our systems, processes, and frameworks. I want to give you an inside look into the Charfen Summit and just how much growth these incredible entrepreneurs are experiencing. With the right processes in place, you can create a real business that becomes profitable and gives you the life you've always wanted.

Welcome to part two of an inside peek into our exclusive Charfen Summit. This is the second part of a panel of our members who are experiencing growth and success by implementing the right processes, structures, and routines into their life and business. These are some of the most talented entrepreneurs on the planet who are in momentum and creating positive change with their businesses. The biggest topic of conversation in this section was about how to lead your clients and your team. The reality is, entrepreneurs are natural leaders, but we can fall into the trap of managing people transactionally instead of transformationally. With the right framework in place, you can get out of the loops of telling people what to do, checking that it got done, and then telling them what to do again. These entrepreneurs will share with you exactly what that feels like. Resources Mentioned: https://charfen.com/community

624 - Why Entreprenerus Need Protection and Support

As entrepreneurs, we need far more help to reach our fullest destination because we want to go further and make a bigger impact than most of the population. But any request for help leaves us feeling vulnerable and exposed. One of the most dynamic places an entrepreneur can be is when they have a team that will protect their strengths and provides support for their weaknesses. In this episode of the momentum podcast, let me show you why this concept of protection and support is so important for entrepreneurs, and why a team that can protect and support the leadership of the business creates one of the most unified, dynamic, and amazing places to work on the planet.

625 - Haters Confirm Greatness

One of the most profound realizations I have ever had in the business world came from the words of Damon John. "Haters confirm greatness." Anyone who has ever done anything great has also had a tremendous amount of hate come their way because they rocked the boat. The rest of the world strives for average and clings desperately to the status quo. Entrepreneurs who receive hate are confirming that they are making a change and making a difference. If you're hearing negativity and criticism, you are doing something absolutely right. The world needs us now more than they ever have. Create momentum anyway and let the hate confirm your greatness.

There is a lot happening in the world right now. I want to take this opportunity to make it unequivocally and abundantly clear where I stand personally and where we stand as a company.

One of the biggest issues with being an entrepreneur is that we know where we are going, we can see it clearly, but we have a hard time telling those around us. This can lead to miscommunication, frustration, and lost productivity.

628 - Leading with a Purpose

Leading a business into an unknown future and in the midst of a global crisis is a necessary challenge for entrepreneurs today. Not only do I coach and help entrepreneurs successfully scale their businesses with the right processes, systems, and routines to put them into momentum, I hire entrepreneurs into my own business to do the same. When you have a team of true believers at your side, you can step into the role of mentor and leader in a way that allows you to build the business you've always known you should have. In this episode of the Momentum Podcast, we are joined by Hayley Hart, our Director of Operations, and Deanna Pecina, our Curriculum Designer and Coaching Manager. They are both members of our leadership team, and we have brought them onto the podcast to share with you how they have navigated our company through this crisis while helping us orient towards growth and get back into momentum.

629 - Policies Will Save You

When I first started in business, I made a ton of mistakes around policies. The biggest mistake I made, is that we really didn't have any. Anything that came up, I had to handle it and I thought it should be this way. I wanted to know what was happening so if there was an issue my team brought it to me. This resulted in endless decision making and massive decision making fatigue. Some days I was so exhausted I couldn't decide what I wanted for dinner. Can you relate? There are a lot of ways to offload decision making and get help. One of the most efficient and effective is to create policies in your company that allow your team to know how they should make decisions. If you don't have policies, it will cause a ton of challenges in your business. Your clients will not have a consistent experience. You will handle the same issue in different ways and that will cause incongruency. If too many issues come up at once and each one of them has to be decided, it will sell your business down and take away your momentum. Creating sound policies is one of the fastest ways to increase the pace that your business grows. Resources Mentioned: https://predictablebusinesssolutions.com

630 - Becoming An Ally

Over the past few weeks I’ve been vocal about what’s going on in the United States and my support for the Black Lives Matter. As a result I’ve had a lot of people reach out to me and ask me what they could or should do in this situation. I know this may come as a surprise but I’ve had many people reach out who had no idea things were this bad and are shocked at what’s going on. Rather than beat people up for their lack of understanding or exposure, I have been helping them move towards a greater understanding of what is happening. In most cases, people have been looking for a checklist, or a to do item that they can add to the list for the next day so that they can take care of this and move on. That’s not how this works. Just like systemic racism is not an event, neither is understanding it and becoming an ally. This is a process and a journey that will change your life for the better, open doors for you, and make you a more compassionate and empathetic human being if you allow it.

631 - Drop the Veneer (And Create Your Own Reality)

Any attempt to be anything but yourself will only cause you pressure and noise. This may seem simple, but in the world of entrepreneurship is anything but. Most entrepreneurs feel like they are a commodity and they have to act in a certain way to grow their business. This is exhausting and takes a tremendous amount of effort. It's difficult to believe, but if you are unapologetically and unabashedly your self, your business will actually grow. The entrepreneurs who are willing to put it all out there, let the world know who they are, and be real, are always those who create the most success. My friend and client Rachel Rogers is one of these entrepreneurs. She inspires me for many reasons, she's a successful entrepreneur, amazing wife, committed mother, but more than anything else, she is always 100% herself. She may ruffle some feathers and even offend some people, but at the same time, she attracts passionate supporters who love her.

633 - Your Discomfort is Holding You Back

As entrepreneurs, we put up with a lot more than the average person. More stress, more ambiguity, and more discomfort. A lot of entrepreneurs even say things like if you want to grow your business you're going to have to make sacrifices. Any of us who has ever grown a business knows that it's one of the most difficult and stressful things you can do. The problem with successfully growing a business is that when you start out, you have to do everything. If you are successful, you may be conditioned to do everything. This causes us to create massive discomfort in our lives. If we don't have a system to offload where we are uncomfortable, we are probably tolerating too much.

634 - Delegation Should be Imperfect

If you are running a growing business, it is natural to get overwhelmed. It is natural to have too much to do, and it is natural to need help like crazy. One of the biggest issues I see in the entrepreneurial world is an entrepreneur who needs help but waits far too long to get it because they think it needs to be perfect. The reality is delegation is never perfect, there are always issues, and most entrepreneurs wait too long to start. When you understand the delegation will be imperfect, and you know how to handle it, you can offload what you are doing much faster and get the help you need.

635 - Flexibility Creates Momentum

The entrepreneurial personality type is defined as "a physiologically sensitive momentum-based being that is highly reactive to constraint”. We are reactive to any type of constraint. When we are inflexible in our thoughts, we create constraint in our lives and can hold ourselves back. When we are inflexible in our bodies, we create physiological constraint that can keep us stuck in place. Whether our inflexibility is in our thoughts or our bodies both rob us of our momentum.

636 - Success Should Be Absolute

When I was younger, I made it very difficult for myself to lead people. I had a hard time creating trust with my team, and I would break it often without realizing just how bad it made things. I would set up meetings, and normally I was late most of the time. I would make commitments and then break them. Sometimes I would miss meetings with my team altogether because something "more important" had come up. This challenged trust, and made it very difficult for me too lead my team and game consensus. When I look back on it, I had no idea that I was the cause of most of the managerial problems I was experiencing with my team. Resources Mentioned: https://predictablebusinesssolutions.com

637 - Coronavirus From the Frontlines with Michelle Charfen, MD

When I talk to someone who believes that the seriousness of COVID-19 is overblown or a hoax, I ask them one question. "Have you talked to anyone on the frontlines, someone who is actually dealing with this?" The majority of the time their response is “no”.   I understand that most people do not have the ability to call up an ER doctor or epidemiologist and ask them questions. At the same time, the fear and confusion around what is happening is real. I am lucky enough to have the ability to ask a professional for information, and a platform to share it with entrepreneurs like you. Today, I want to introduce you to my sister, Michelle.  She is currently an ER doctor in Los Angeles county.  Every week since the coronavirus first hit California I’ve been able to talk to her. Listening to her perspective after having been in emergency rooms for the last 19 years has clarified a lot for me.  Michelle joined me on my podcast this week and I'm excited for you to meet her. It was a unique experience having Michelle as a little sister.   When my mom asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I'm pretty sure I told her a fire truck. Michelle knew she wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember, and she is younger than me. The principal at my school had to give me an exception to graduate because I had missed so many classes, she had the highest GPA in our high school's history.  While I was transferring from college to college before finally dropping out, Michelle went to Stanford for her undergrad and obtained her MD from Harvard Medical School. She then completed a residency in Emergency Medicine and a Fellowship in Research at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center during which she obtained a Masters of Epidemiology from UCLA. Michelle was gracious enough to sit down with me and answer the questions that so many people have. The conversation that we had was enlightening, revealing, and insightful. I'm excited to share it so that you can understand what is happening with the virus and how you make the right decisions to keep you and your family safe.

638 - Hire to Win

The way that most entrepreneurs hire people is challenging. It's usually a family friend or an acquaintance or someone who knows somebody. If I'm honest, this is how I used to hire people with very little success. When I realized that hiring decisions should be difficult, and you should have a hard time choosing the winning candidate, everything got better. Building a team can be life-changing when you get the right people on the team the momentum you can create is unimaginable. Resources Mentioned: https://predictablebusinesssolutions.com

639 - Overwhelm New Hires Fast

In the corporate world, it's an accepted fact that when you hire someone they probably won't be productive for 3 to 6 months. 3 to 6 months! As an entrepreneur, I can't imagine waiting that long for someone to be productive in our business. We want somebody to be up and running and making a contribution within their first seven days, not six months. We have a way of making this happen nearly every time. We overwhelm new hires, then provide them with massive support so that they know they are safe. This way we know what they are capable of fast. We also get way more productivity out of people in a shorter period of time. If you want to get productivity out of your new team members in the fastest way possible, this is the strategy.

640 - Crisis Honeymoon Explained

We are in a crisis honeymoon period. This is a period where the crisis has taken hold and is having a massive effect on the world, but most people do not recognize it unless it is personally affected them. I saw this during the foreclosure crisis over and over, the numbers were clear, the crisis was coming, but people did not think it would affect their community - until it did. This crisis is no different. You can see it in the way people are expressing themselves. I saw a post the other day that said: "no one I know has been affected by the coronavirus, can it be real?" Clearly, the logic in that post was flawed but it expresses the sentiment of many people. It hasn't affected me therefore it probably isn't real. The problem as this crisis is real, and the numbers are overwhelming. In the video, I discuss where we are, and what is coming. Resources Mentioned: https://predictablebusinesssolutions.com

I was a consultant to Fortune 500 companies in my twenties, and during that time I had the opportunity to witness decision making at a high level when companies experienced crisis or challenges. There is one thing that every massive organization does that helps them be successful during times of difficulty, and I want to share it with you. The reality is that most entrepreneurs are unwilling to accept that they must be prepared for the worst case scenario in their business and in the world around them. Right now, the challenge many entrepreneurs are looking at the thing happening in the world with a hoax mentality, and the damage it could do to their business is devestating. let me show you why.

643 - Anxiety Can Be Useful

When I was younger I did not want anyone in my business to appear anxious. If they showed up to a meeting or to one of our huddles and we're expressing anxiety I would be irritated with them and want them to stop. I'm the type of person that my irritation shows whether I say something or not, so they often would stop. Are used to think that this was a win. I got them to stop acting anxious and making everyone else anxious. What I know now is that by stopping them from expressing their anxiety, I was actually cutting myself off from information in my business and making everyone else more anxious. Anxiety that goes and expressed makes everyone more uncomfortable and slows everything down. This morning a member of my team expressed anxiety, and now I'm actually excited by it.

Thanks to Ryan E Ross and Lisa Saladino Garife I had the opportunity to speak to the Urban Leadership Foundation of Denver last night. I have had the opportunity to speak to some of the most exclusive crowds in the world. I've been on some of the most important stages out there. But there's something about having the opportunity to contribute in this way that lights me up like nothing else. Being able to volunteer my time and share our concepts with people gives me a different level of motivation than getting paid for a keynote. There was a time in my life when an entrepreneur and made a massive contribution to me and I feel like it changed everything. I've been on a quest my entire life to do that exact same thing for as many entrepreneurs as I possibly can.

645 - Brand Your Process For Freedom

One of the issues that we hear all the time from entrepreneurs is, my customers only want to deal with me. This is one of the most limiting conditions you can have in your business. If people only want to deal with you, then the growth of your business is constrained by how much time you have. No one wants to have a business where our time equals the growth of our business since it's limited. We work with our members to brand the process that people are purchasing that from them. For example, our process is called the Charfen cadence. It is a system to help you create a strategic plan, communicated to a team, and grow predictably. When people come to us, they come to us for the outcomes that the Charfen Cadence will give them, they don't expect to deal directly with me. Resources Mentioned: https://billionairecode.com

646 - Your Discomfort Will Lead the Way

We have been conditioned by society to deny discomfort. We grew up in school, work, and social environments where expressing our discomforts would be threatened and penalized. But contrary to what you have been taught, if you learn to eliminate discomfort, you will feel more comfortable, supported, protected, and you will grow a business that will make you a better human being.You can learn to channel discomfort and let it lead you into making better decisions for your business, which often leads to building the real business you want. As you will hear on this podcast, this is the opposite of how I did it in my 20 's—a common thread I see among entrepreneurs. When we understand our discomfort, we improve the world for everybody around us. Your discomfort will truly lead the way. Resources Mentioned: https://predictablebusinesssolutions.com

One of the things that come up over and over again when we coach our members and discuss our coaching as a team is energetics and the energy of situations.

There is a serious problem in the coaching, experts, and information products industry. We all know it, but it seems like everybody’s afraid to talk about it. It’s near impossible to understand who’s a real coach, who can get your results, and who is a fake. This challenge is the credibility of everyone who is a coach or runs an online business which just isn’t fair. There are tons of people out there who have real expertise, real experience, and can help people get the results they want who are being damaged by this. Sometimes when somebody asks me what I do, and embarrassed to say that I have a company in the online marketing space It’s gotten that bad.

649 - How to Legitimately Make a Profit Online

It has gotten far easier to make a profit online in the past four or five years. There are incredible tools out there that are huge shortcuts. When Cadey and I first started selling online you would be shocked at how much effort it took. We had to hand-code websites, string together funnels, and everything was custom. Would you believe at one point we were spending over $1 million a year just on our technology team?!?!??! ...much less all of the platforms and tools we had to have. These days IT IS way easier. The problem is it's so easy, some people are making money online in a way that they really shouldn't. Can you relate? The amount of plagiarism, copycatting, and "lifting" of other people's materials has gotten overwhelming. There is a better way to do this and I would love to continue this conversation and inspire some positive momentum!

650 - Stop Creating Reactivity

If you want to continue being triggered, then don't follow this advice. If you'd like to be more present, more aware, and even have a longer attention span so that you can get more done, then this is for you.   I have a confession to make. Starting in March when everything went crazy, I stopped following this advice for a few weeks and it cost me. I feel more tired, more reactive throughout the day, and I found that I was looking at my phone way too much. It made it harder to concentrate in meetings, more difficult to get things done, and I even started feeling some anxiety.   Thankfully the fix is simple, it takes barely any effort, and it really does change how you feel.   Resources Mentioned: https://billionairecode.com

651 - Protect Your Productivity

For entrepreneurs, our productivity determines our success. It's difficult to make any argument to the contrary. What we are able to get done every day when we have a team or not, will determine our long-term outcomes. As an entrepreneur, I look for a habit that I can install in my life to help me be more productive all of the time. This is one of the reasons I'm so obsessed with hydration, it literally makes everything in your life easier. Another habit that is crucially important for entrepreneurs but so many avoid is getting restful, productive sleep. The more efficient your sleep is, the more effective and efficient you will be during the day. This may be one of the hardest habits for entrepreneurs to accept, but it is also one of the most important. Resources Mentioned: https://MomentumMasterclass.com https://charfen.com/TimeStudy

For entrepreneurs, momentum is like oxygen for the rest of the population, we need it to feel alive, we need it to be alive. When we are in momentum we feel like we are unstoppable, we can do anything, and we are on top of the world. When we are not in momentum, we will do just about anything to get it back. Today we are in a situation where a lot of the world is out of momentum. Entrepreneurs everywhere are having a hard time figuring out how to make progress and move forward. As a result, you can see a lot of them creating fake momentum. Fighting with people online, chasing conspiracy theories, getting into political arguments, and more. All of these may feel like we are accomplishing something, however for us as entrepreneurs, this is fake momentum and it will cost us. Resources Mentioned: https://MomentumMasterclass.com

653 - Creating the Billionaire Code

When I was younger, I wondered if there was one true path to success as an entrepreneur? In my early career, my impression of business was that each was so different, that they all needed something different, so they couldn't be just one path. But the more I study business, the more patterns emerged. I started to see similarities between all businesses, the foundational things that all of them needed in order to be successful. After decades of research, study, and real-world experience I created The Billionaire Code. A nine-level framework that shows exactly what you need to go from start-up to a 9 figure business and where you should be focused at each level. I can remember the day I first presented it to an audience. I was sure that I had nailed it, that the path was clear, but I didn't know if everyone else would see it. As I wrote it up on the whiteboard and started to explain it, I got lost in the content and completed putting everything up without even turning around and looking at the audience. When I did, they were stunned. I got comments like "how did you figure that out?" and "how can I get a copy of this? Like right now!" Every time I shared the billionaire code, entrepreneurs accept it as fact and many of them change what they are focused on so that they can create momentum. This has been one of the most exciting things in my entrepreneurial career.

654 - Why Your Vision Isn't Working

Years ago I was meeting with a friend of mine and I asked him if his company had a Vision Statement. He said sure, and then got up and walked out of the room. I didn't really understand what was going on until he walked back in with a framed copy of his vision statement and read it to me. I remember asking him, "do you guys even use this?" His reply was no. They had hired a consultant a few years earlier who walked them through a two day offsite to create their vision statement and once they hung it on the wall, they didn't really think about it again. His vision statement had the same problems that most do. It was completely and totally focused on the company, not on their movement, and not on who they serve.

655 - Plan for Momentum

If you are anything like me, then you've probably tried more than one (way more than one) planners or organizing systems. My experience most of the planners I tried to use have been so complicated they took more time than what I was getting back from planning. Either that or others that I have tried to use just became a to-do list and had little to do with strategically moving me forward. I felt like I had tried everything and it just wasn't working so I decided to create a solution myself. I spent about five years researching and studying how humans plan and achieve. What question should we ask ourselves? How should we create a plan to actually be successful? What is missing from most people's planning and execution efforts that hold them back? As I researched, I got better at planning myself, and as I pulled more information together, a clear strategy started to emerge. I started to see how as entrepreneurs the planning that we are doing is holding us back, it's actually taking away our momentum. With some simple adjustments, the planning we are doing will not only create momentum for us, but it will keep us there. Here's one of the major changes I made.

656 - What Entrepreneurs Live For

I was recording a podcast yesterday with one of our members and I asked him what was different about our company when he started working with us. He immediately replied, “no one had ever described momentum the way you did. It felt like you were reading my mind” This was validating and confirming for me. See I believe that entrepreneurs need momentum as much as the rest of the world needs oxygen. When we have it, we feel like we are in power, on top of the world, and we can do anything. When we fall out of momentum, we feel the opposite, stagnation, frustration, anxiety, and we can even feel like we are dying. Resources Mentioned: https://momentummasterclass.com

657 - Crisis Survival Plan

It's inevitable, as an entrepreneur you are going to experience a crisis. It's part of the game that we have decided to play. I often tell my members, crisis is normal, crisis is part of the human condition, the world is always in crisis. Even though crisis is inevitable, how it affects you is not. Throughout my career, there has been a consistent difference between the entrepreneurs who do well, make a massive impact, and achieve their goals and those who don't. The first group consistently turns any crisis into an opportunity. The second group sees crisis as an obstacle and that will stop all of us. Resources Mentioned: https://momentummasterclass.com

658 - Two Lessons That Cost Me Control of My Business

Sometimes when I share my story with people, it sounds unbelievable. The reason is, when you are telling someone your background, you only hit the highlights. most people don't share the challenging details. As entrepreneurs, it's important that not only we are aware of the challenging details of our stories, but that we are also radically transparent about them. That's how we learn, and the people around us learn. There are a lot of entrepreneurs out there that are afraid to share the challenging part of their background, they don't realize, is if they don't they miss sharing some of the most important lessons you’ve learned. Our biggest challenges, typically result in our biggest periods of learning and growth. This is the mistake that drove me to learn how to use attorneys and the law to keep me safe and business.

659 - How to Handle Team Discomfort

I just got off my Monday morning huddle and it uncomfortable. Two of my team members are dealing with personal issues that are keeping them up at night and making them anxious. They shared with our team what is going on and how they are feeling. All of us could tell just how difficult it is for both of them. I consider this a massive success. In most companies, when someone is uncomfortable, they may mention it and then say "I'm fine". I've seen this happen throughout my entire career. Once someone says they are fine, whatever the issue is gets swept under the rug and everyone moves on. Today one of our team members tried to say she was fine, and I reminded her that there was no way she could be and we would much rather have transparency than a veneer. When you create a space for your team to be transparent and real, you will create a space for them to feel safe.] Resources Mentioned: https://billionairecode.com

In 2011 we had the 21st fastest-growing company in the country. We were on the Inc. 500 List, then again in 2012 and 2013. We even won Best Places to Work awards all three years. We did so well, we sold ourselves out of an opportunity and ended up having to cut the size of our company and do layoffs. So many companies right now are in the same situation. Where your business has shifted, numbers have gone down, and it is time to make cuts. This is one of the most difficult things we go through as entrepreneurs, and it's also one of those things we rarely talk about. Here's how we did it, and some of the big mistakes we made that you don't have to. Resources Mentioned: https://billionairecode.com

661 - How to Get More Out of The Advice You Give

Sometimes as entrepreneurs, we are in such a hurry to help someone, or even correct someone, that we invalidate them without trying. Here is the scenario, someone asked you for advice, and without any clarification, you get it because you think you know the answer. You may actually have the right answer, and know exactly what they need, but if you have not clarified with them, they probably are not going to trust it. As a CEO, and a coach, and even a father, I use the Two-Question Rule to make sure that my advice is heard, and it's actually helping. Resources Mentioned: https://billionairecode.com

These days, if you watch most thought leaders in the entrepreneurial space, you will probably think that in order to grow a business and do well, you have to live in a world of chaos. Getting things done at the last minute, pulling all nighter's, making everyone around you work until the very last minute, seems to be the way to create success. Don't get sold on this lie. The reality is the most successful businesses in the world, eliminate chaos, lower pressure and noise, and create a safe environment for all of their team members.

This morning we had an issue with a member of our team. Eddie who works with us missed a couple of the deliverables that he is responsible for each week. He reached out to Hayley our director of operations and she reached out to Cadey and I and the four of us connected. The second we got on a zoom call, I could tell how badly he was beating himself up. Had this been years ago, I would've reacted. I would've gotten angry, I would've raised my voice, I would've made sure he knew just how angry I was that he had missed deliverables. This morning I handled it completely differently. It's amazing how experience and perspective can change how you show up. There has been far too much collateral people damage in my career, I am determined to minimize that in the future.

We help entrepreneurs around the world grow and scale their businesses in our coaching memberships. One of the comments or questions we are getting often today is "what do I do when I feel like I am drowning?” Variations of this question are when I feel like I am falling? When I feel accelerated? When I feel reactive? There is no question why so many of us are feeling this way today. The world is arguably more confusing and overwhelming than it has been in a long time. There's more conflict around us than I have ever felt in my life. For us as entrepreneurs, the faster we can get out of these feelings and back into momentum, the better we feel and the more we accomplish. In the video, I share the advice we share with our members, some of it will feel counterintuitive if you are in a moment of reactivity, but we know from helping hundreds of entrepreneurs, this work will change everything about how you respond to challenges.

666 - This Will Preserve Entrepreneurial Momentum

For many of us, it feels like the world is more chaotic than it ever has been. We are dealing with a number of crisis situations as a society and as a global population. There are political issues in many countries, social issues in the same countries, medical issues that the entire globe is dealing with, and radical financial and economic issues. The world is as chaotic as it has been in my lifetime. Times like this can provide a specific advantage to us as entrepreneurs. If we are able to focus and maintain our momentum, while the rest of the world is in chaos, we can quickly get ahead and gain an advantage.

667 - When Work is Your Safe Place

So often these days, when I share advice with entrepreneurs, I'm sharing contrast between what I used to do and what I've learned to do with experience. When it comes to recruiting, hiring, and motivating teams, this is often the case. Unfortunately, when I was younger, I was a pretty challenging leader. I was myopic and almost entirely focused on the business, I didn't really want to know what was going on with my team, and I saw people as process who were there only to help me get things done. Over the past, almost 30 years of leading teams, my perception has completely changed. I now know that creating a safe emotional environment for my team is one of the biggest advantages that creates our success. Recently several members of my team have been experiencing some difficult life situations. We have a specified time to talk about what is going on openly with the rest of the team, so other people understand what is going on. The contrast between the teams on right now and the teams are used to run clear. In the past, people did what they had to do to keep their job with the companies I ran. Today, people see work as their safe place and do everything they can to show up for each other. Resources Mentioned: https://billionairecode.com

668 - How to Make Self Discipline Simple Right Now

I define discipline as keeping the commitment that you make to yourself. I have a confession to make; naturally, I'm not very disciplined. It's actually difficult for me to remain disciplined. I can intend to do something, get up in the morning, think about it, forget that I was going to do it, and then realize a day later I didn't do it. It's incredibly frustrating. Even if something is important, if I just try to use discipline and willpower, chances are it's not going to happen. And if it does happen, it's usually the exception. Most people around me would be shocked to hear this because they see me as incredibly disciplined, consistent, and capable of doing more than most people, and just about everything I do. This is also true. I was not born disciplined, but I have found a simple way to create extraordinary discipline that gets results. Resources Mentioned: https://billionairecode.com

669 - The Truth About Damage of Lying to Yourself

So often, for entrepreneurs, there is a hesitation to face the realities of your business. Many of us feel the pressure of making our numbers sound better than they are with the people around us, or worse, ourselves. When we make the situation in our business sound better than it actually is, we run the risk of missing the important steps we need to take to ensure our business is growing. In this episode, Alex shares a personal example of what happens when an entrepreneur is not honest with themselves about where they are in their business and how you can start to fix that issue right now.

670 - How to Change Your Behavior Faster

The path to growth for an entrepreneur goes directly through behavioral change. At each new level of growth for our company, our behaviors change almost completely. One of the reasons so many entrepreneurial businesses get stuck and stop growing is that entrepreneurs stop changing behavior and growing themselves. It's incredibly difficult for a business to grow when the owner doesn't. In the past few years, I found a way to change behavior faster. This process is not intuitive, but it works like crazy and also provides significant support for your team. Resources Mentioned: https://billionairecode.com

As entrepreneurs, we have a hard time when the world around us doesn't go fast enough. This can cause us to challenge the people around us and destroy the plans that we make. Our restlessness can cause us to slow the growth of our business down when what we are trying to do is speed it up. I am very familiar with this. It's something that I do often and have to go back and repair with my team.

When I was speaking yesterday, I became acutely aware of just how fast and how damaging transactional management is. There's this recurring story I hear from entrepreneurs about the people they've hired… It goes something like this: "I hired this person and they were amazing for the first few months and then things started going bad. I think I need to replace them." More often than not, the problem is how the person is being managed, not the person themselves. Resources Mentioned: https://charfen.com/transformational

674 - Analysis is Not Inaction

One of the most overlooked opportunities for entrepreneurs is to analyze their current situation in order to understand how they should best move forward. Most entrepreneurs move from idea to action quickly because they feel like, otherwise, they are doing nothing. The reality is that the best thing for your business, your personal life, and your relationships is for you to take a step back and analyze the situation to determine what the best course of action actually is. In this episode, Alex coaches one of our members through this process at the Charfen Summit, an event for all of our members.

675 - How to Get Your Priorities Straight

Prioritization is a powerful tool for effectively solving problems in your business. The problem is that it is also one of the most overlooked. Many companies take the concept of a parking lot and put it in place in their business. They take the ideas they have and put them in one place with the assumption that they will be taken care of someday in the future. The challenge with this approach is that a parking lot lacks prioritization. Ideas are placed there without a method of how to handle them. What works better is a priorities list. In this episode, Alex brings in his leadership team to give insight into how we prioritize projects and processes in our business. This step in the Charfen Process is how we maintain momentum even when things feel broken. Resources Mentioned: https://billionairecode.com

The reality is that there are four stages that all of us go through in learning, and they are directly related to our ability to commit to a plan and start moving forward fast.

677 - The Three Factors of Success in Your Business

Entrepreneurs are the small percentage of the population that wakes up every day, goes into the future, creates a new reality, then comes back to the present, and demands that it becomes real. That process requires a high level of decisions to be made on a daily basis. This responsibility is enormous, and it can lead to entrepreneurs reacting to situations instead of proactively overcoming them with a plan. Our programs teach a five-step process for decision making, called The Charfen Process. We have been discussing this process in-depth throughout the previous two podcasts, and in this episode, Alex talks about the three most important factors that contribute to your ability to do this consistently. Ultimately, this process is what creates success for entrepreneurs and will allow you to grow your business consistently and predictably. Resources Mentioned: https://billionairecode.com

Your addiction to new is keeping you from mastery. When you have the tools, systems, frameworks, and structures in your business to get repeatable and predictable results, you will see that "new" is damaging your team and keeping you from growing a world-changing empire.

687 - Triple Seven Breathing Protocol

Are you feeling anxious? Or are you one of the calmest entrepreneurs in the room? I always remind our members and my team that the calmest entrepreneur in the room is the one that people will turn to. There is one thing I have experienced in working with entrepreneurs. When there is a crisis, or a last-minute “fire” shows up, entrepreneurs have this bias towards rapid, overwhelming reaction? We are the first to drop everything and drive home a solution. We often say things like... “How fast can I do something?” “What do I need to do?” Is this you or someone you know? I know I can relate, and if you can connect, I want you to know that you are not alone. Have you been showing up reactive lately? Do you ever feel accelerated? Do you feel a bit anxious at times? Do you feel like you need to unwind? It’s essential for us and others that we remain aware of how we show up. If you are showing up this way it will be ok. I invite you to check out our triple 7 breathing protocol to shift this feeling. 🔖SAVE this post and use our video as your resource and guide to unwind, and hit play when you need to reset. Try it now. Hit pause in your day and breath with me. In 1.2.3.4.5.6.7 Out 1.2.3.4.5.6.7 We installed this triple seven breathing protocol to shift the acceleration so we can remain in momentum. We do this at the beginning of every targeted interaction. [Targeted interactions are what we refer to as meetings in the Charfen world.] It is straightforward. Follow this practice as guidance. 🌬You will want to blow out as much air in the beginning as you can •Next, You will breathe in 7 seconds through your nose •And then, You will breathe out 7 times through your nose ••You will complete this breathing exercise seven times. That is the ideal breathing time and method to balance oxygen and Co2 and create presence and awareness. Remember, in a crisis, the calmest entrepreneurs are the one people turn to. Do not be afraid to hit pause and carry out the triple seven breathing protocol. Resources Mentioned: https://charfen.com/665 https://www.facebook.com/100003762796202/videos/2144227805712625/

Small Business Update: The Latest Stimulus Details and Changes to PPP Loans I don’t know about you but accounting has been one of the most frustrating things for me in 20 years of running businesses. That's why it has been so incredible to work with Pam. She has given me a sense of calm. Pam IS an entrepreneur.

The dynamic, informative, and deeply experienced opposite of the stereotypical green-eyeshade accountant. Pam is the author of "Your First CFO: The Accounting Cure for Small Business Owners"; with a reputation as the Entrepreneur's Go-to CFO. Today she is joining us to talk about all of the updates taking place with the current PPE loans. The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) will re-open the week of January 11 for new borrowers and certain existing PPP borrowers. To promote access to capital, initially, only community financial institutions will be able to make First Draw PPP Loans on Monday, January 11, and Second Draw PPP Loans on Wednesday, January 13. The PPP will open to all participating lenders shortly thereafter. You will want to tune if you are wanting to learn more about the most recent stimulus package and how it can impact small business owners. - The new money that is available to small businesses through the government - What you need to do to qualify for it - What is happening with regards to the forgiveness on the original loans We dive deeper into the conversation as a group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CharfenCommunity Learn more about Pam here: https://www.facebook.com/psprior

691 - Understanding the Power of Meditation - Entrepreneur Brain Facts

The entrepreneurs I work with are not normal entrepreneurs. They are the hardest charging, hardest driving, most overwhelmingly momentum-driven entrepreneurs on the planet. I don't meditate. I can't meditate. I don't want to meditate. I hear all of these from entrepreneurs when I asked them the simple question “do you meditate?” I understand why. For people like us who can't turn it off and don't know why anyone would want to, the idea of clearing our minds seems impossible and unnecessary. The way meditation is presented by most people who have figured it out it's so ambiguous and difficult to understand that it makes just about anyone feel like they can't get there. Meditation isn't about clearing your mind, having a spiritual or religious experience. There is a better way to look at this that will create massive momentum for you and for everyone around you. The fact is, here's what meditation is. It's taking a short period of time where you slow your breathing. Breathe in and out through your nose exclusively. You don't do anything else but sit there and breathe. You allow your system to reset, you allow calm to come over you, and you feel a physiological contrast from when you started, to when you finish. And if you're willing to go to charfen.com/meditate, and download the two-minute meditations that I recorded, right now you can try one and see. What is the contrast from before you started, to after? Here's what I want you to feel. Did the tension in your shoulders release? Did the tension in your forehead release? Do you feel like your lungs are more expanded? Do you feel more present, more aware, more vibrant, more able to do more? Because when I meditate, that's exactly what happens. This is why I created those meditations. This is why I use the Muse headset. Because for me, I invest a little bit of time, and I get back massive amounts of presence, awareness, consciousness. And let's be honest. All of those create ridiculous momentum. Are you ready for some meditation momentum? Join me live as we dive into meditation momentum. Be sure you go to charfen.com/meditate Once you click on that link you will be greeted by Momentum Bot which will not only deliver you the three meditations I recorded for you today but also share information on the muse headset. Try them out. I would love to know what you think. Breathe in and out through your nose. And you're gonna feel this incredible time investment, where you take a small fraction of time, like three minutes, and you can go out and create momentum for hours. Meditation isn't about clearing your mind, having a spiritual or religious experience. There is a better way to look at this that

707 - How To-Do Lists Destroy Productivity

Your "to-do" might be robbing your productivity. Alex Charfen, a business growth coach who helps entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses, gives practical, tangible, and actionable tips that you can implement into your business right now. If you are anything like me, then you've probably tried more than one (way more than one) planner or organizing system. In my experience, most of the planners I tried to use have been so complicated they took more time than what I was getting back from planning.
