Trust Thyself Episode 9

Back in 2020 I made it a point to create an episode on this topic but never released it, as I was still building and figuring out the podcast style. Interestingly the points strategies and information are all still as relevant as then as they are now.

Building a website for your business is important to attract leads,  inform/convert your audience, explain your value proposition, provide offers/services,  boost brand recognition and drive your sales.

To build a business website there are some fundamentals for any site: you need to choose a domain name and secure web hosting. Understand the difference between a basic brochure web presence and a high-performance website (a distinction that most entrepreneurs aren't aware of). Then comes making your site findable and marketable, you have to optimize your website to improve your search engine rankings to drive and attract traffic.

Keep your website up-to-date and optimized for mobile devices. Also, ensure your site speed is adequate to improve your search engine rankings. This episode is for business owners looking to build a website or improve upon their existing website.

It’s no longer feasible to run a business, even a brick-and-mortar one, without a web presence. Consumers turn to the internet for everything from product research to location and operating hours. A well-designed website can give you an edge in your field, and if you have products to sell, your site can open up new markets and expand your business cheaply and easily.

Trust Thyself Episode 8:  Discussing High ticket & value pricing

High-ticket items are high-value and premium-level products or services. They offer buyers a high value and are usually sought by premium buyers looking to get to the transformation or results they are seeking as quickly as possible.

In the digital business world, they could be services like high-level: courses, coaching, webinars, and masterminds all of which offer clients a premium level of value.

As you already know, a sales funnel is a series of steps that lead a potential customer or client to a purchase decision. Similarly, a high-ticket sales funnel is defined as a selling system that leads a customer, step-by-step, to buy a higher-priced product or service.

Episode 7: Accountability and The 4 Levels Of Wealth Explained| How You get Success with The Imagination Level

Accountability Wealth and Success these all things that most successful entrepreneurs have. We identify accountability habits consistency and how Wealth and the 4 levels of wealth especially the Imagination and Communication Levels of Wealth facilitate success in all areas.

Trust Thyself Episode 7 IG Live : Accountability and The 4 Levels Of Wealth Explained | How You get Success with The Imagination Level

Implementation

 In Level 1, you are the person who does the thing—Implementers are the people who actually complete the tasks. You take the picture, you bake the cake, and so on. There is value in Level 1, but the downside is that there is only so much time in a day. Because you’re trading dollars for hours, your time limits your value.

Unification

On the Unification Level, it's about management skills. At this level, you manage the people who “do the thing”.

Communication

In Level 3, you use your words to create wealth. Your wealth-creating asset/resource on this level is your voice. It’s about communication that creates a higher income for yourself while helping others.

Imagination

Your mind is your greatest resource to create wealth. People in Level 4 are the idea people. The ones who find a way to better the lives of a multitude of people. These are the dreamers who change the very structure of entire industries. But you don’t have to be Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, or Oprah Winfrey to be in Level 4. You can integrate Level 4 thinking into any business starting now.

Episode 2: Turning your talent into a business | How You Can Turn Your Talent Into A Business?:

Create a Business by following your Passion or your Talent is always the usual advice when starting a business but does it really work? In this episode, I explore How to turn your Talent into a Business.  

Trust Thyself Episode 2: Turning your talent into a business | How You Can Turn Your Talent Into A Business  

I believe everyone has that one God-given thing/talent that makes them really amazing especially if they get to harness, develop and then leverage it. You know how people always say 'just follow your passion'?    But what happens in this scenario: financial freedom is the main goal, and the passion is really good for you but it doesn't make money? Even though this was filmed back in 2019 and only published in 2022 the thoughts and strategies are still relevant. I promise the production value increases as you see in Episode zero LOL, but for all these older videos I'm glad their here because progress over perfection was the focus at the time.   

One of the best ways to turn your talent into business is to focus on what you are good at. And then find a way to monetize it. This is not always easy. There are many challenges that you will have to face and overcome in order to make it sustainable. But if you put in the time and effort, there's no limit to what you can achieve with your talent. I hope these practical strategies and steps give you a new point of view and foundational framework for turning your talent into a business.

Episode 1: How To Start A Podcast: Starting My Podcast From THOUGHTS to ACTIONS🔥: In this episode, I explain the podcast journey that allowed me to create the type of podcast I always envisioned. Even though Trust Thyself was an idea many years ago the podcast only finally started in 2022. If you've always wanted to start a podcast, but have no idea where to begin, check out this video until the end!  

Trust Thyself Episode 1 - How To Start A Podcast: From THOUGHTS to ACTIONS 🔥  

Watching this back I had flashbacks of filming this video and I'm seeing all the technical mistakes that were made and I appreciate them. The core concept was discussing a personal brand, the mindset of it all among other things, literally me thinking out loud.  This was the very first episode of the show that shows my documentation of the process and getting my thoughts together and thinking out loud back in 2019 or 2020 (I can't remember which, it's all blurred into one after the events of the early 2020s).   But now over 2 years later, I'm finally getting to release it as part of the show. Mind you where we are at now with production quality is very different from where we started. I had the option of not even bothering to post this episode and just starting from where we are at now with the 'better quality videos' or heavily editing this video to get the production value up.  It is important to not just let your ideas be stuck in your mind. Take action! And continue to move forward in your life.

As I didn't have a system for consistency and momentum so instead, I still filmed and documented them so that when it came time that I. had the other elements in place to keep me accountable and consistent  I didn't need to wait to get ready and you could see the growth in each video as it got better, I learned new things and gradually increased overall production value.
