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!

In this “hump day Q&A” episode, Nick addresses a question from someone who is an unhappy employee at her job and wants to learn how to get started as an entrepreneur!

This episode can assist a “wantrepreneur” in getting started, as well as perhaps someone who is currently an entrepreneur, but not entirely happy with their business.

There are numerous different angles at which you can approach this question of, “Where do I start?”.  Like, writing out the answers to the following questions:

What am I good at?  What do I enjoy doing?  What are my strengths?  What am I passionate about?  If money was not a consideration, how would I spend my time?

Finding the answers to these questions will start you on your path to fulfillment and success as an entrepreneur!

We’re back for part 2 of 2 of this never before released footage from social media icon, Gary Vaynerchuk’s keynote presentation from the recent Life on Fire San Diego Event!

In part 2, Gary takes the questions from live audience members that all of us have been dying to ask him, like how do you maintain work/life balance, what’s your secret to actually “doing sh*t”, actually making things happen, and how can we help you buy the New York Jets?

Not only were Gary’s insights on the questions that were asked amazing, but it was the questions that weren’t asked that he managed to address anyway that make this presentation one you’ll want to review over and over again.

We were honored to have Gary on our stage and hope that you get loads of value and takeaways from his presentation.

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!

During this live business coaching session from stage, Nick expertly helps this entrepreneur identify her target market, her ideal client profile, as well as her marketing strategy and action plan, all within 30 minutes! 

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?"

The power of setting clear intentions and goals is massively important.  Join Nick, and special guest, peak performance coach, Dave Austin, as they explain the personal techniques they use to achieve major life and business goals.  

The human mind first has to be able to conceive of something, or “see” it, before you can do it, create it, or achieve it.

When you put powerful intention behind your visualization that is what supercharges your results!

Learn how to quickly break through procrastination and create focus in order to get more done in less time in your personal life and in business.

Avoid getting stuck in “analysis paralysis” or “getting ready to get ready” mode all the time by making fast decisions.

That is one of the huge secrets of successful people, is they make fast decisions.

Don’t be afraid of making the “wrong” decision, because most of the time just doing SOMETHING gets you much further than simply thinking about what you’re doing to do, or worse, doing nothing at all.

Come with me “behind the scenes” in this 2-part live, in-person interview with Gary Vaynerchuk at his Park Avenue office, headquarters of VaynerMedia, in New York City!

We talk wine, social media, Gary’s new book, and “telling your story in a noisy, social world”, as Gary puts it.

I had no idea what Gary was going to say, but he REALLY brought it and delivered some awesome, tangible advice on how to strategically approach the major platforms today like Facebook, Twitter, and the social media platform he’s most excited about, Instagram!

He talks about how he built his business using “pure hustle” (aka, putting in time and effort when you don’t have an advertising budget), and exactly how he would build a business today under those circumstances.

Gary talks fast, and you won’t want to miss it, so get ready to take a lot of notes and you’re going to want to listen to this one over and over again!

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!
