We’ve all heard the saying, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”

Networking and being a “connector” can be one of the fastest ways to grow your business.

Another commonly noted observation is that your income is the average of the 5 people you hang around with the most.

So, if your current network is not comprised of people who are making what you want to make, then it’s time to start networking up!

A great way to open new doors and expand your network vertically is to attend events in your industry.

And, the best part is, you don’t even have to have anything you can personally offer someone who you’re trying to connect with.  If you’re in the process of building a solid, influential network in your industry, all that you may need to solidify a relationship to someone is introducing them to someone else.

Everyone attends events and networking functions with a “what’s in it for me” mindset.  

Don’t be that guy or gal.  Be the person at the networking event who walks up and asks questions like, “What do you need right now?  How can I help you?  Who (or what type of people) do you need to connect with at this event?”

Ask those types of questions to enough people, and suddenly you become a connector, which can provide far greater benefit, many times, than simply passing a referral to a sale.

Next, collecting business cards is great.  But, in this electronics age, a much better way to track key contacts is to put them directly into your phone, or better yet, have them put their own information into your phone.  From there, immediately text them with your complete contact record (your “digital business card”).

And, make sure you connect with the person on Facebook!

Now, get yourself out there.  Find the next event you can attend, throw a cocktail mixer for your area if possible, and become the person who knows everyone in your industry!

Here with us on a Google Hangout is bestselling author, business coach, and all around amazing business woman, Suzanne Evans, to talk about her brand new book, “The Way You Do Anything is the Way You Do Everything”.

Suzanne’s story is quite incredible.  She went from a secretary job, making secretary pay, to owning a 7-figure (approaching 8-figure) coaching business.

She dives into the challenges and parts that most don’t know about getting a book published with a major publisher, like the fact that the publisher doesn’t actually sell books for you!  You still have to get books sold, and prove in advance that you can do it!

From there, she dove into her model of how she drove book sales through joint venture partnering.  Amazing!

Suzanne gives us the details of what it takes to actually be labelled a “New York Times Bestseller”, and the affect that can have on your business and positioning.

Then, we ask her perspective on our four pillars of marketing, mindset, networking, and a journey worth living.  

We get her thoughts on hosting live events, sponsorships, masterminds, and so much more!

Suzanne is truly a wealth of knowledge and experience!

Singer, songwriter, and recording artist LaKeisha Michelle talks how she went from a career she wasn’t passionate about to truly living a life on fire.

Stuck in a job she didn’t like, in a city she didn’t want to be in, her journey to make that change and start living the life she wanted was inspired by meeting Nick and discovering the brand and mindset of Life on Fire.

From there she sat down and immediately wrote and recorded her single, “Life on Fire”.

And, over the coming months she gained opportunities to perform on stage, leave her job, and even move to L.A. to pursue her career.

It was a risk.  It took a lot of guts.

But, she did it.

Life often rewards us for following our heart and taking calculated risks.  

LaKeisha, we are honored and inspired by your story and by the fact that you wrote the Life on Fire song!

Okay, now it’s your turn!

Follow the exercise in this episode, discover where your passions and skills align, and take the first step toward YOUR life on fire.

One emotion every single person experiences from time to time, is fear.  

That doesn’t have to be fear of something dangerous or life threatening.  

Often times, it’s simply fear of something new, fear of change, or fear of taking action.

And, if you’re not able to find ways to overcome fear, it can be paralyzing (and worse, prevent you from getting or achieving what you really want).

Whether it’s in your business, a business you want to get started, your love life, or an adventurous activity you have planned, overcoming that fear, and learning not to avoid or go around that emotion, but to embrace it and push through it, is key.

That feeling of fear or anxiety that pops up in those situations is your mind indicating that you’re about to enter what is uncharted or inexperienced territory for you.  Otherwise, if it was familiar to you, you would have comfort and confidence based on your past.

Simply put, fear in those types of situations is your mind’s way of telling you…

You’re about to learn something new.

The amazing thing about what can often feel like crippling fear, is that once you push through and experience that thing that is new, have that conversation, pick up that phone, whatever it is, you often feel an exhilarating sense of accomplishment for having succeeded.

That thing that was creating incredibly negative emotions inside you, once surpassed, many times creates incredibly positive emotions which we can label as the feelings of “growth”, “learning”, and “success”.  

So, how do you overcome fear?

There is a simple, 2-step process:

Step 1:  Recognize the fear.  Acknowledge your emotional state, the fact that you’ve come upon a mental roadblock that is preventing you from moving forward.  

Hint:  If you find yourself procrastinating about something, fear can commonly be the reason why.

Then, Step 2 is to “reframe” the fear.  To reframe the fear means to make a conscious choice about how you’re going to let it affect you or motivate you. 

The part that can be so crippling is that we don’t even consciously acknowledge what’s happening in these moments, and therefore don’t realize that we have a choice as to how we’re going to let it affect us.

It is nearly impossible to experience significant growth in business or in life without getting outside your comfort zone.

Want to experience rapid growth in those areas?

Then, LIVE outside your comfort zone.  Spend more time learning, growing, and trying something new than you spend playing small and doing what you’ve always known.

What’s the worst that can happen?  You fail?

Failure rarely means “catastrophic disaster”.  And, “failing” is really only failing if you don’t learn anything from the experience.

If you know that growth and success are what typically lie on the other side of your fear, then having that feeling of fear just becomes and indicator that something great is about to happen.

The more you become comfortable going toward your fear, the more confident you become and the less you “fear”, fear.  It’s power over you diminishes every time you break through it.

Take a look at your business and your life, and make note of that one thing you know you really need to do right now that will make a major difference but fear has been holding you back…

And, go towards it!  Embrace it!  Overcome fear, and do it!

Here to present at our VIP mastermind retreat on one of the most burning questions when it comes to starting a podcast, “How will you monetize it?”, is 7—figure per year podcaster, John Lee Dumas!

When John first started his podcast, it was the question everyone around him asked, “How are you going to generate revenue, how are you going to monetize it?”

John’s answer was, “My audience is going to tell me how.”

And, that’s exactly what happened.

As he began to add email subscribers to his email list a few at a time, he would reach out and ask them a very important question, “What are you struggling with?”.  

From there, he began to categorize answers that he started to receive and saw trends begin to emerge.

What helped John tremendously in that process was knowing his “avatar”.  He created an exact profile of who his ideal podcast listener was all the way down to giving his avatar a name, an age, the number of children his avatar has, what his frustrations are, and even how long his commute is too and from work every day.

Once you become clear on your avatar, you know exactly who you are serving and can allow that to assist in decision-making in your business.

Next, once you have determined how to monetize your podcast, you can look for additional and ongoing monetization opportunities.  It’s possible that the initial way you started monetizing may not last forever.

Some additional tips to a successful podcast launch are, JUST START.  We all feel some level of anxiety around starting something new.  But, the reality of delaying something that you are for sure planning to do is that you’re simply delaying your results.

When you start, make sure you have at least 3 episodes in iTunes so people have a reason to subscribe (vs just downloading 1 episode).

Also notable, is the “New and Noteworthy” stage in iTunes.  The first 56 days your podcast is in iTunes, it is eligible to be featured in the top of iTunes software under the heading New and Noteworthy, which has the potential to generate a tremendous amount of organic (free) listeners.

The opportunity with podcasting is only growing.

Get out there and establish yourself in the world of podcasting!

Wondering what the key is to driving your videos up the ranks in YouTube?  Bryan Dulaney’s got the answer, and he’s walking us through his proven 13-step process today.

Step 1 is keyword research.  Under 20,000 searches per month and under 600 searches per day is the sweet spot!

Next is making your video educational and informative, and giving a clear call to action (what to do next).

From there, it’s optimization…  Optimize your file name, title, description, then choose your category and optimize your tags.  Make sure you use a custom thumbnail, call to action overlays help, and then you’re on to getting views.

Implementing a press release system helps “blast” your video out to the masses.

By the end of day 1, it is ideal to have 50-70 unique Twitter tweets about your video, 50-70 Facebook likes, and 50-70 Google+ shares.  

Also, having 200-300 Facebook recommendations on your press release within the first few days is crucial as well as 200-400 Facebook likes (US-based if you’re in the US).

You want at least 30 video comments within 24-48 hours and 50 video likes on YouTube.

Rapidly getting at least 5,000 or so views is a major milestone you want to hit quickly.

Next, is gaining 50-65 YouTube subscribers.

Often overlooked is the “thumbs up” on YouTube.  50-70 people who have searched and “thumbs up’d” your video adds to boost your video.

On day 2, you want to get 20-30 additional visits and likes to your press release.  

By day 3, you need to have 700-900 social bookmarks to your press release + RSS + ping your press release.

Next, you want 15-25 real Twitter accounts with at least 100,000 followers to tweet your press release and 80-100 “do follow” social bookmarks.

To add additional value, keep the process going with as many views, likes, and comments as possible in addition to watching other people’s YouTube videos on the account you set up and make real comments on other videos.

Finally, you want to continue to add additional videos to your channel, link to the video from as many high-quality places as possible at a steady pace, and embed the video in as many places as you can (as long as the site permits) and reply to comments as they come in.

As you can see, Bryan and his team have been “mad scientists” when it comes to secretly perfecting this system!

Today’s Hump Day Q&A question is, “What is your product launch training all about?”

It doesn’t matter if you are “launching” (think “getting ready to sell”) and information product, a training program, a physical product, or even something like a book or a new song, you still need a launch plan!

Our clients have requested that we teach a training specifically on how to create, package, promote, and profit from selling a product, which is exactly what the upcoming Product Launch on Fire training is all about.

Over the course of 20 days, through a series of 8 live group coaching sessions, we’re going to take you all the way through that process, A to Z.  We call it, The 20 Day Challenge.

The first step is getting really clear on what your passion and purpose is in order to help you come up with your product idea if you don’t already have one.

From there, we want to go out into the marketplace and validate that there is, indeed, a market (buyers) for your product idea before you spend the time to create it.

Next is your marketing plan.  You’ll put together your plan for exactly how you’re going get your product in front of potential buyers and how you’re going to convert those buyers into sales.

Then you’ll see how to address the technical aspects of delivering a product.

You’ll receive email script, video script, and sales page examples so that you can see the psychology of how your marketing should fit together to provide the highest percentage of conversions (sales) as possible.

You’re going to receive an entire written blueprint on how to do a product launch.  We paid $100,000 for the blueprint that we’re going to give you at no additional cost.

Lastly, you’re also going to receive one free month of our Firestarter coaching program, which includes 4 additional group coaching calls and 2 one-on-one coaching calls.

We are only taking 40 people in the program.  Of which, approximately 25 spots are already taken at the time this was published.

To claim one of the remaining spots, simply go to The20DayChallenge.com!

We can’t wait to work with you and help you launch YOUR product!!

Inspirational entrepreneur, Lewis Howes, welcomes us into his West Hollywood crib for this 1-on-1 episode of Life on Fire TV with host, Nick Unsworth!

Tour Lewis’s high-rise pad and see how he leverages having an assistant to help run his business, prepare his meals, and even decorate his living space, allowing him to be freed up from all of those tasks to focus on more important areas of his life and business.

From there, Nick and Lewis sit down to talk details.

One of the key things Lewis immediately referenced is seeking out and having mentors. Mentors allow you to short-cut your progress in many instances because you can learn from their experience.

An important piece of leveraging a mentor is making sure your actions are aligned with your purpose.  However, not all entrepreneurs have truly discovered what their purpose is.   

Lewis has an excellent activity he goes through to help discover your purpose, which is to walk through and describe your “perfect day”.

Another big takeaway on the marketing piece was acknowledging that all top professionals perform at a higher level and get better results when working with a coach.

Next, without hesitation, Lewis’s suggestion for where to focus your time and money in your business is your branding and your list.  

How your brand yourself (and how you stand out from others in your niche) greatly determines how successful you become in that niche.

Lewis touches on how high-quality branding can open many doors for you, such as lending credibility when looking to land guest blog post opportunities.

One of the huge, overriding themes to Lewis’s success (which sounds obvious, but somehow escapes many entrepreneurs) is you have to be in it for the “long haul”.  You have to make your decisions based on what’s best for the long-term health of your business.

Lewis, you inspire us, Sir!

Make sure you check out Lewis's podcast, The School of Greatness!

Today’s Hump Day Q&A question is, “Nick, how the heck do you have time to make all these videos, to run the business, and still have time to go out and live a life on fire.”

It’s ALL about delegating and outsourcing.

It’s been said that internet marketing (and nearly any business) is a “team sport”.

That doesn’t mean you have to start hiring employees if you can’t afford them yet, but you can start delegating for as little of 5 hours a week.

How much more fun could you have with an extra hour a day?

Start small.  Start around your house.  How nice would it be if cleaning and laundry didn’t slow you down any more?

From there, evaluate your business and make a list of two things:

1.  What don’t you like to do in your business?

2.  What are you not great at doing in your business (that someone else could do better)?

Your call to action for this episode is to create that list, and find someone who can start to take over those tasks.  Again, it could be as little as 5 hours a week, which could cost you as little is $35 per week.

Start freeing up your time and living the Life on Fire you’ve always desired!

Highly sought after branding expert, and CEO of Branding for the People, Re Perez (who branded Life on Fire) is here to give us his 5-phase branding process he uses to help everyone from Life on Fire size businesses to global brands.

One of the most misunderstood concepts of marketing and business is “what is a brand”?  Many confuse a logo, a slogan, or perhaps a color palate with a brand.  Those are all brand elements, but those items alone are not a “brand”.

A brand is perception that’s created in the minds of your audience.

And, in Re’s experience, having a well-defined, cohesive brand allows you to make money, charge more for your services (or finally charge what you should be if you’re under charging), increases conversions, helps you, as the business owner, make decisions, and position yourself as a leader in your market.

Phase One:  Discovery.  Defining the business’s “Who?”, “What?” and “Why?” and what’s important to you.

Phase Two:  Strategy.  Phase two is all about defining the layers of your brand.  What are your value propositions?  What is your brand “personality”?  What are the benefits you provide?

Phase Three:  Creation.  Broken into 5 parts.  1. Your digital strategy.  2. Your verbal strategy (the language and words you’re going to use).  3.  Your visual strategy.  4. Sales and marketing.  5. What’s the “experience” you take people through?

Phase Four: Amplify.  Determine what’s working and do more of it.  

Phase Five:  Management.  Continually reviewing all elements of your company to determine if they are still in sync with your brand, as well as reviewing your brand as a whole to determine if it still represents your values and it’s still the direction you want the company to go.

Come with us behind the scenes at our most recent mastermind event with one of our Elite-level coaching clients, Andy Zitzmann, as he delivers an AMAZING presentation on “Unleashing Your Champion Inside”!

We all have a champion inside.

Some of us just haven’t tapped into it yet.

That is Andy’s gift and highest passion, helping others bring out that champion and live that every day.

Life doesn’t always give us the easiest path.  We don’t always have all the answers.

And, when things seem bleak, or frustrating, or may even appear impossible, those are the times to rise, to push through, to overcome, grow, and become bigger and better than what you were before.

People at all levels are striving to “make it”.  Financial success can be wonderful.  But, if you’re missing Andy’s definition of making it, feeling fulfilled, happy and loved inside, then you haven’t truly made it, no matter what your bank statement says.

You can settle for being yourself.

Or, you can commit to begin your BEST self.

It’s up to you.

Make that decision today, and choose the direction you want for the rest of your life.  You do, after all, have that choice.

Eric C. posed the question, “Nick, I heard about your telesummit strategy on a previous call. What was that about?” 

Great question!

This is the strategy Nick used to go from $50,000 in debt to earning over 6-figures per year.

First off, what is a telesummit?  A telesummit is simply a series of virtual conference calls, Google Hangouts, webinars, or whatever other technology you want to use all organized around one central topic, such as Facebook marketing.

Step 1 is to look at your topic or industry and figure out who the leaders are and to secure an “anchor” speaker as your main speaker.  Approach it from the standpoint of “What’s in it for them?”.

From there, create a list of 25-30 additional speakers you would like to secure (you only need about 15, but not all are going to say “yes”).

Again, be thinking, what’s in it for them.  Even if you have not yet established a reputation as an expert in your industry, that is what your anchor client will provide.  Your other speakers will want to be on the same virtual “stage” as that person.

Another important piece is your branding.  In order for your speakers to want to be a part of it, and people to want to opt in to consume it, it needs to look pro.  Pro doesn’t have to mean expensive.  It just needs to look high-quality.

The ultimate goal of the strategy is to build your email list. You can do so by incentivizing your other speakers to send out mailings to their list to generate opt-ins for your summit.

Done right, this strategy can literally transform your business from zero sales and no email list, to a 5,000+ person email list in the next 60-90 days (and bring in up to 6-figures of revenue, if you monetize it correctly)!

Now, get started and make that call to your potential anchor speakers!

Back for part 2, Mike Koenigs, multi-million dollar internet marketer, dives into how to connect with your audience.

Audience connection, and as Mike puts it, “empathy” is the key to serving your ideal audience at the highest level.  When you truly know and understand your ideal customer you are in the perfect position to give them exactly what they want and need.

Mike breaks down is 10 by 10 by 4 model for how he takes other marketers through this process to help them discover how to connect with and serve their audience purposefully.

From there he opens up on how to take the questions and discoveries you make in the 10 X 10 X 4 model and turn that into content for a podcast, blog posts, YouTube videos, or even a book!  In MINUTES you’ve planned out a content strategy for an entire show or book!  

Next Mike walks us through how simple it is to become an Amazon bestseller and how he’s done it several times over with books that not only provide great value, but are actually easy to write (using his method) and that produce additional revenue (outside of book sales) through calls to action in each chapter.

He even tells us how a 9 year old girl published 4 books 3 months using his method and how he wrote a book by dictating it to a recorder while laying on his side in the fetal position battling the worst stint of stage 3 cancer.  

If a 9 year old girl can write 4 books in 3 months, and Mike can get a book written under those circumstances, there’s really no excuse to keep the book that’s been hiding inside you there any longer.

Nick even accepts the challenge to get the book he wants to write out in the next 30 days!

If you’re not ready to take massive action after watching this 2 episodes and hearing all of Mike’s ideas, then you might want to check your pulse to see if you’re still alive!

Robert S. posed the question, “Nick, how do you have so much energy all the time?” 

One of the biggest secrets to waking up energized every day is making sure your work is aligned with your passions.  Or, to state it simply, doing what you love.

Few things are a bigger drain on your energy than having to spend 8, 10, 12 hours or more a day doing a job you despise.

Next, when there are things in your life that are bigger than you, those things fuel your purpose.  That may be a family, your children, or a cause or organization that you love and feel passionate about supporting.

From there, having a way to track your progress allows you to break through motivational barriers.  You don’t have to set huge, audacious goals.  Set simple, achievable goals like, “today I’m going to clean my desk”.

Then, you MUST have written goals and take them seriously.  

Last, setting a morning routine, a morning ritual that you are EXCITED to do, makes a massive difference.

Implement these things and let us know how it’s changing your days and your life!

Learn our Podcast Launch Blueprint Strategy in this “Fast Action Friday” episode of Life on Fire TV with Business Coach and CEO of Life on Fire, Nick Unsworth!

The first 8 weeks of your podcast launch are CRITICAL!

This is when you have the opportunity to be featured in the top of iTunes charts for “New & Noteworthy” podcasts!

But, there are some things you’ll need to prepare in advance to make sure your launch is a success…

First, logistical decisions such as the format of your show, the number of episodes per week you’ll have, and the look of your logo artwork need to be made.

Next, plan to launch with a least 5 completed episodes right out of the gate so that new subscribers get the maximum number of episodes downloaded to them.

Next, make sure you have additional episodes recorded and ready to release immediately after your podcast gets approved by iTunes.

The two biggest mistakes to avoid are having very good sound quality and making sure you are extremely consistent in your format - same days of the week and same time, every single week.  (It is not recommended to have less than one episode per week.)

And, don’t forget to have fun with it!  One of the most important factors of a show’s success is whether it’s entertaining and interesting to list to!

Here to answer the question, “How do I build an audience and authority, fast?” is Business Coach and CEO of Life on Fire, Nick Unsworth!

A great place to start is with the “anchor client” strategy.  Find a well-known authority in the industry you’re trying to target, and offer your services at a substantial discount, or even for free, in exchange for their testimonial and referrals, which helps get you on the map!

Next, you have to get the word out about your anchor client’s case study and results!

From there, seek opportunities to be a guest blogger and share your results even further.

Implement this strategy correctly, deliver value and results, and you’ll have others banging down your door to work with you!

Try it and let us know your results!

Once you have a product that sells, all that’s required to keep it selling are the right systems.

Hump Day Q&A is back to answer the question, “I have a certification, but no real experience or customers, how do I get started?” with Business Coach and CEO of Life on Fire, Nick Unsworth!

Everyone has to get started somewhere.

And, the key to making the most of your situation is realizing one important thing.

You don’t need to know everything.  Nobody expects you to.

What you DO need to know, however, is more that your prospects or clients.

Your training alone makes you more of an expert than the people you serve.  And, THAT is how you get experience.

Hear Nick’s story of how he got started under nearly this same scenario.

And, go make it happen!

How can you not be inspired by John Lee Dumas’s story?  To launch out of NOWHERE and become a 7-figure podcaster in under 18 months?  We’ve got his journey, and it’s truly remarkable.

John welcomed us into his sweet San Diego crib, right on the water, where he records and produces his podcast, Entrepreneur on Fire, featuring inspirational and motivational interviews from top entrepreneurs 7 days a week.  

We even saw what’s in his fridge!

And, then the fun really began when he told us his whole story of how he went from not even being an entrepreneur, being employed at a typical job, to finding a mentor, getting guidance and coaching, trusting his gut, and launching what had never been done before…

A 7-day a week podcast, which defied the beliefs of even the mostly highly respected experts as he went on to absolutely CRUSH it with his show.

We know you’ll love this interview!

Learn how to buy Facebook likes and run a Facebook like campaign with business coach and Facebook Marketing Expert Nick Unsworth, CEO of the Business Coaching company, Life on Fire!

These days nearly all businesses can benefit from having a Facebook page. And, similar to having a business card, or a website, there are certain things that are expected to be there when people arrive on your page.

One of which is Facebook likes. Likes serve as a score card, in a way, when it comes to establishing how much authority your page has. A benchmark, if you will.

Likes can of course be grown organically over time, which is nice because you incur little if any cost to obtain organic likes. The problem is, that can take quite a while.

Another way to increase your likes is to increase your page’s exposure by utilizing Facebook’s ad platform. You can essentially buy Facebook likes (for pennies!) by driving more people to your page.

NOTE: This should only be done with targeted traffic and done with integrity.

If you target your ads to the type of people who would like what your page is about anyway, then the “likes” are sincere (and valuable) vs. trying to get a bunch of cheap untargeted likes from foreign countries where they barely speak your language. Untargeted likes are basically worthless. Don’t bother with them.

If you buy Facebook likes the right way, with good ads, proper targeting, and you have great page content, that is how you can generate thousands of genuine Facebook likes and build your audience at the same time!

Nick walks you through exactly how to do that, and throws in some additional tips on how you can utilize Facebook advertising to build your marketing funnel (think, “sales process”) and grow your email list!

This is truly a gift that Nick has to help entrepreneurs quickly become laser focused on exactly where they need to spend their time in their business and what they need to take immediate action on.

People can spend weeks, month, even years sometimes toiling over what their course of action should be with regard to the next steps in their business.  But, in nearly all of our business coaching sessions with our clients, it almost always comes down to those three things, target market, ideal client profile, and marketing strategy.

There are some HUGE takeaways to be had from this session if you come at it from the perspective of, "How can I apply what Nick is saying to MY business?"

Thank you!  You’re amazing!

I get asked all the time, “How the heck do you get so much done and how to do you have so much energy all the time?”

One of the absolute keys to my success is the morning ritual I follow each day. By starting my day off with the right fuel for my mind and body through mindset, focus, nutrition, and exercise THAT is what powers me through the day.

Don’t have a morning ritual? Give this one a try! I SWEAR, in 30 days, it will change your life.

I start off by thinking about 3 things I’m grateful for, even before I get out of bed.  This helps me start my day with an “attitude of gratitude”.   When your day starts off on a positive and invigorating note, like thinking about the things you’re so happy and honored to have in your life, you can’t help but take the rest of your day in a positive direction.

Next, I read off my goals for the month.  I keep them written out so I can not only read them every morning, but so I can see them and be reminded of them throughout the day.

After that, I practice what’s called “future pacing” by reading a short letter I wrote to myself at the beginning of the month.  This letter is very specific and purposeful.  It is written as though the month has already passed and I’m looking back on it congratulating myself.  I’m setting the “pace” for what my future is going to look like.

(These 3 things take a total of about 5 minutes.)

Last, I start my day with a healthy breakfast, typically a quick smoothie, and some exercise.  By eating a healthy breakfast, studies have proven that you’re more likely to make healthy food choices for the rest of the day.  And, by getting your exercise done first, you not only get it out of the way and don’t have to worry about squeezing it into your busy day, but you feel energized and fantastic all day!

Have you ever watched someone like a professional athlete, a musician, an artist, or craftsman who is laser focused and appears to be executing perfectly because they are “in the zone”?  

Even better, maybe you’ve even felt that yourself, where you were just “on” and nothing could stop you?

In this Life on Fire TV episode I share my quick and simple tip to snap your fingers, change your state of mind, and instantly get in the zone.

That’s what being “on”, or “in the zone”, or in a state of “flow” really is, hyper-focused attention and emotion.  It is a state of mind, and can, therefore, be triggered or “summoned” consciously.  Everything that doesn’t matter in the moment gets tuned out, and you don’t even have to think about what you’re doing, it just happens, flawlessly.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could go from having a bad day to an AMAZING day in seconds using this technique?

OR, to go from a good day to a great day just by thinking about one “moment on fire?”

Use what you learn on this episode to get ready for your next big sales call, presentation, 1st date, or to just feel great and energized any time you want to!

You have to have an audience if you want to be in business.  And, one of the fastest and most effective ways to build that audience these days is through Facebook.  Specifically, through growing your Facebook “likes”.

By having a Facebook page for your business you can build a tribe of loyal advocates, which used to be called “fans” and are now called “likes”.

In this episode, I teach you 10 quick and simple ways to rapidly grow your likes on Facebook, which not only allows your message to reach more people, it positions you as a credible resource in your niche.

Even some surprisingly simple and obvious methods of growing your fan base often go overlooked.

After having trained and consulted over 1,000 business owners and entrepreneurs, including some of the top names in online marketing, such as Frank Kern, Eben Pagan, and John Assaraf of “The Secret”, these are some of the best methods I’ve discovered to help you get thousands more targeted likes!
