E67: Finding More Joy For High Achievers

E67: Finding More Joy For High Achievers

Personally, I believe there are so many people out there that just are not happy with their lives, so when I read a book that has the power to change that - I want to talk about it.

When you read the introduction, you will be hooked. This entire book is jam packed with incredible quotes, insights, and practical things you can do on a daily basis to bring more joy into your life.

Quotes

“There is no way to happiness - happiness is the way.” Thich Nhat Hanh

"Your future growth and progress are now based in your understanding about the difference between the two ways in which you can measure yourself: against an ideal, which puts you in what I call the GAP,' and against your starting point, which puts you in 'the GAIN,' appreciating all that you've accomplished."

-DAN SULLIVAN

“Happiness is not something you pursue. Happiness is not somewhere in the future. Decades of scientific research is clear on this point: happiness is where you start, not where you finish.”

"Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you're proud to live."

-ANNE SWEENEY, AMERICAN BUSINESSWOMAN AND FORMER CO-CHAIR OF DISNEY MEDIA

"Comparison makes you unhappy, and there's no end to comparison in the world, if that's the path you choose."

“Comparison is the thief of joy.” - Theodore Roosevelt

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards."

-STEVE JOBS

"Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it. It's just easier if you do."

-BYRON KATIE

"With increased value comes greater meaning. The things that we value or appreciate the most also have the greatest mean-ing. Value and meaning in the world, then, are totally created by appreciation."

Exercise

Here are the five questions:

  • Where am I right now?
  • What are my wins from the past 90 days?
  • What are my desired wins for the next 90 days?
  • Where will I be in 12 months?
  • Where will I be in 3 years?

E65. Changing Your State To Attract Better Results With Gregg Mazza

E65. Changing Your State To Attract Better Results With Gregg Mazza

What are the best referral sources? Whats the best strategy? These are common questions for home care businesses, however, on today's episode of Let's Grow Together Gregg Mazza breaks down what it truly takes to get results.

Gregg got into the home care business because he saw the struggles his mother went through trying to care for his elderly grandmother as she was aging.  In 2006, he started his entrepreneurial dream of owning a home care agency only to come face to face with the harsh realities of owning a 24-7 home care business.

After almost running out of cash in 2010, and recognizing that the way he was taught to sell was not working consistently enough in his business, Gregg went on a mission to change.  He invested heavily in himself learning from people way smarter than him.  Over the next 12 months, he was able to turn things around by increasing revenue over $1M in 12 months and going from the brink of disaster, to creating a home care agency with over 150 caregivers and the business eventually running mostly without he and his partner.

For those of you that care about credentials.  Gregg has an MBA from the University of South Florida, over 22 years of sales and sales management experience in predominately service based industries including recruiting.  He and his partner owned their home care agency for over a decade in the Tampa area.  Gregg is also a former Certified Senior Advisor.

In 2016 he and his partner sold their home care agency and moved out of state.  Now his obsession is helping home care owners achieve their own revenue breakthrough, in an effort to help them create freedom in their own business.  Gregg does this by teaching other home care owners his “Rapid Referral” Training system that lays out a step by step proven sales process for gaining referrals in the senior care industry as well as his “Home Care Recruiting Framework- 4 GAPS method” program. Gregg also provides other consulting services in the home care space on topics such as organizational structure and design, establishing KPIs, recruiting systems, proven sales management, marketing strategies, and more

He has helped hundreds of clients worldwide scale their business using his sales and recruiting systems.  He has a Facebook group for Home Care Owners only with over 3,500 members called Home Care Breakthrough Solutions for Service Providers.

E59. Taking Extreme Ownership Of Your Life With Ben Herman

E59. Taking Extreme Ownership Of Your Life With Ben Herman

It's not easy when you are first getting started. On today's episode of Let's Grow Together, I introduce my good friend Ben who shares his journey of entrepreneurship. He started young and had some epic fails, but he didn't let stop him from pushing on. Now he has build multiple businesses and is on his way to more.

Ben Herman, aka DJ MuziqLement (Music Element) is a man who brings a lot to the table(s). His passion for the DJ industry began at the age of 13. That same passion has allowed him to plow through barriers beyond belief and get him to where he is now. By the mere age of 17 in his junior year of high school, Ben had launched his very own DJ business into the world.

Once the company was founded, he never looked back. Ben has worked with some “big dogs” in the industry like Will Smith, Too Short, E40, Clinton Sparks, Red Man of the Wutang Clan, Paul Wall and Mims just to name a few.

He was voted the Best DJ of the North West Coast, as well as held weekly radio show residencies. Thousands of events later, his company has become one of the largest and most established DJ entertainment companies in Northern California.

As his three businesses have grown, so has Ben. His main focus now is to act as a true leader to focus on the company's vision and strategy, as he leads his team to become nationally recognized for providing a world-class service and product.

Herman’s number one purpose is to deliver value to those in need and the communities that surround him. His life experiences have led him to become one of the classiest and compassionate professionals in the industry. Ben’s dedicated team has been carefully chosen and mentored by none other than himself to deliver the same value and service he is so very passionate about.

Ben is both a loving and caring father to his two wonderful kids, and walks through life confidently with his warm-hearted and supportive wife, every step of the way.

His companies have consistently served the community for over a decade now and it’s no secret as to why his businesses continue to thrive. Ben is a man of integrity who values honesty, loyalty, and hard-work. This is the very strong foundation to which his businesses were built upon and the reason he stands out among the many in this industry.

E43. Letting It Go With Adam Kiddoo

Entrepreneurs who have trouble breaking out of mediocrity & growing their business due to lack of sales… Adam helps them to get out of their heads & tap into their hearts in order to fully embrace your sales conversations & enroll more customers.

Over 1 year Adam personally closed more than $650,000 worth of new business for himself & his mentors James Wedmore, Jim Fortin & Brandon Lucero where he was able to close on average 80% of the time on these sales calls.

Where Adam used to stutter, stammer & sweat when it came to sales (no joke) he now CRAVES THESE MOMENTS where he gets to hold space for other entrepreneurs in order to help them see their potential & make an empowered decision for themselves. That’s what REAL “selling” is all about.

Through Adam’s Heart Centered Selling Method he’s now able to help other entrepreneurs to stay present, listen deeply, pace & lead with love while using simple (but POW-ER-FUL) questions & persuasive language patterns to bust objections, bust limiting beliefs, move potential customers forward towards the sale & then seal the deal.

The beautiful thing is… when coming from the heart, you connect with more people… and when you connect with more people… you close more sales. All without ever feeling like you’re ever “selling.”
