Lambo Goal is going on pause. More on that in the show. I know... it's tough. Trust me. We have to say no to some good things right now to say yes to some great things. And there are some great things coming (don't worry, Lambo Goal isn't going away forever). But today's show with Cory McCabe is all about using video to bring people closer to buying what you have to sell. If you want people to buy from you, they need to know, like, and trust you. Video is the fastest way to build...

Email marketing is tough. What should you send and when? How much is too much? What if you're afraid of annoying people? All you want to do is create a lasting connection with people. You just want a fan for life. How do you do that? In today's episode, we go a little more advanced and show you how to build out an initial autoresponder sequence to sell your products. If you don't already have a product to sell, we tell you how to get data from subscribers to figure out exactly what...

How do you find motivation? Motivation seems to be elusive. We can hardly ever find it or harness it when we need it, so where does it come from? The people who are motivated know it doesn’t start with motivation, it always starts with doing. The motivation is found in the doing. You have to take action! But how do you DO when you don’t have motivation? We talk about how to intentionally enter a state of a flow and set yourself up to be motivated—and stay motivated.

In July of 2016, I wrote a book called Overlap (http://OverlapBook.com). It’s a 75,000-word book and I wrote it in 14 days. How? I had a productive routine. I would shut down at 9:00 PM, lights off at 10:00 PM, wake up at 4:30 AM, go for a run, and start writing by 6:00 AM. That’s a lot of things, and they didn’t happen all at once. I worked toward this for many months prior, and it took a lot of steps to get there. We talk about chaining habits together in this episode and...

We all want to leave our mark on the world. We want to make a difference, we want to be remembered, and we want to leave an impact. How do you define your big goal? When I was six years old, I had a big goal. Then life happened to me and I became "realistic". It took me 20 years to recover from "realistic" thinking. I don't want a "realistic" life, I want unprecedented results! You have to be unrealistic. You have to think big. But how big? How do you find your big goal? How do...

What is a mastermind group? A mastermind group is typically comprised of 4 to 8 peers who meet regularly to help one another improve, stay accountable, and increase success. In this episode, we talk about why you should be in a mastermind group, how to find a mastermind group, how to start a mastermind group, and what goes on inside a mastermind group. The mastermind sessions I'm a part of are comprised of four parts: 1. Updates 2. Goals 3. Challenges 4. Commitments We go...

What in the world is Small Scale Sabbaticals? Some teachers and professors actually take off a whole year every seven years as a sabbatical, but I'm talking about something more frequent. Yes, we typically take off a day every week, but I always wondered: why isn't there anything in between weekends and a year-long sabbatical? In 2014, I decided to start taking a week off every seventh week. I'd work six weeks and then take a week off. I even started paying all of my employees to...

We're entering into a new season of the show with this episode. You may have noticed there have not been any new episodes on the feed lately. That probably seems strange with how much I talk about the importance of consistency. Strange is certainly a good word to describe the situation! I hate leaving people hanging and the last thing I want to be is unreliable. The reason is I didn't hear from my co-host, Matt, for many weeks. Not a peep. I couldn't fathom what had possibly...

If the people around you aren't getting you closer to your goal, they're taking you away from it. You have to get everyone on board. Everyone in your life needs to know your goal. Every single day you need to be communicating your goal to the people in your life. Every day, you start fresh. If you haven't communicated it TODAY, you haven't communicated it. Friends, family, relatives, audience... everyone needs to know. Communicate your vision. Get everyone on the same page. Yes,...

You're setting "realistic" goals. You need to set BIG goals. Massive goals. But setting big goals isn't enough. Most of you can do this. Many of you have done it. But you're missing something. You also must take massive ACTION. Once you have a large goal, now you must take 10X action to achieve it. Never lower a target. Only increase action. Right now, you're taking 1X action. That means you're taking as much action as you think is necessary to reach your goals. That's not...

This is the 3rd and final part of our series on Making Your First $1,000. In the first two episodes, we helped you find your business idea and get paying customers. Making an extra $1,000 is cool, but you know what's cooler? Making an extra $1,000 every single month. If you want to make $1,000, the first steps are identical to those of starting a business. If you're going to start a business, why not put in the systems to keep the money coming in? We talk about how to setup a...

This is Part 2 of 3 in our series on Making Your First $1,000. Now that you have your business idea, we're going to focus on getting customers. There are a lot of ways to get customers. Many of them are longer term investments and cost money. We're going to start with the easiest. That's word of mouth referral. The first place to start is with the people you know. These are your friends and family. This group is the most commonly overlooked and that's a huge mistake. These people...

We've got an EPIC series lined up for you. Over the course of the next 3 episodes, we're going to help you make your first $1,000. Today, we're kicking things off by helping you find your business idea. Now, you may be wondering why you have to have a business idea if you just want to make $1,000. Well, I have news for you: if you make $1,000, you have a business. If you don't believe me, just ask the government—because they're going to tax you like a business if you make...

This was originally a bonus After Show that we decided to share as its own episode. We talk about positioning yourself around the right people and being someone that a mentor would want to invest in. You'll hear Matt talk about big numbers in this episode, but remember that you are the average of your five closest friends. Matt says he's the poorest of his five closest friends and adds that, "the only people I surround myself with that don’t make more than I do is my family." Matt...

My friend, James Clear, wrote a very thought-provoking article, titled The Four Burners Theory: The Downside of Work-Life Balance. You should go check it out. Imagine a stovetop with four burners. Each burner represents one of the following areas of your life: 1. Health 2. Work 3. Family 4. Friends The premise is that: In order to be successful you have to cut off one of your burners. And in order to be really successful you have to cut off two. I found James’ article...

You’re not going to save your way to being a millionaire. It’s time to start making money. A penny saved is not a penny earned. Now, many people will tell you this. Their argument is, “A penny saved is MORE than a penny earned!” You may think this is smart, but this is still how poor people think. Poor people save money. Rich people make it. Here’s how I see it: don’t waste time picking up a penny when you should be making a dollar. Would you rather save $100 or make $1,000...

Matt always likes to say to live like you're poor so you maintain a hustle mentality for your business. Seeing someone he knew blow $100,000 in a weekend didn't sit right with him. Celebrating is one thing, but there's a difference between celebrating and having no respect for money. A lack of respect for money is common when you didn't work for it. In this episode, we talk about respect for money. We talk about the difference between wasteful partying and reasonable...

Your biggest threat is anonymity. You can't afford to be timid. You need to sell hard and you need to sell strong. Why when I say that, do some of you recoil? It's because you think "sell" is a bad word. If you don't believe, you won't sell. If you don't sell, you won't make money. If you don't make money, you won't be in business—which is good, I guess, because apparently you don't believe in what you do. Belief is key. You must believe in what you sell. If you don't, you won't take...

A common trait I see among successful people is extreme focus on a single goal. Successful people know what they want. They aren't splitting focus, they're going all in on getting to where they want to be. They have one goal in front of them and all of their energy is going into doing the work. I don't like to plan for failure. I'd rather put all of my energy into going forward than slow down and create a backup plan. If I encounter a problem, I'll just face it head on. Even if I...

We actually love being interrupted. That sounds weird because we often talk about disliking interruptions, but secretly we love them. Push notifications, messages, emails... these are things that we allow to happen to us. If you allow life to happen to you instead of dictating what you will do, you'll never get important work done. But we like these things to happen to us. Why? Because it makes us feel important. If you're supposed to be writing, when you sit there long enough,...

Most people default to short-term thinking. They need a mentor or someone to encourage them to think bigger and to think longer term. But I have the opposite problem. I tend to think long-term by default. Long-term thinking is good, but you can't only focus on the long-term. If you do, you'll run your business into the ground. Why? Because you need cash. Cash is oxygen. Long-term thinking is a privilege. It's not something you're entitled to. You have to earn the right to think...

This was a fun episode. Matt gives us 4 tips for staying happy, but before we get there, we share a ton of stories along the way. This episode has such positive energy. We talk about the balance between the hustle and enjoying life. We talk about finding happiness in the now. I talk about my recent few 120-hour work weeks and why things are so intense right now. But above all, we talk about doing what fulfills you. How do you find that? How do you protect it? What do you need to do...

If you're asking the question, "Am I burnt out?" take that as a sign. It's your body calling out. It's the final warning cry before real damage is done. Take note, and take it from someone who just experienced, and is bouncing back from, burn out: Matt. We talk about recognizing signs that you're on the verge of burnout and preventing it, as well as how to bounce back and recover if it's already happened to you.

We stream each of the podcast episode recordings live to the Community members (video and audio). After the show ends, we stick around and continue the conversation in what we call the "after after show". Sometimes it's fun, other times it's deep. This time, we talked about taking a year off. This is something Matt wants to do and something I'm planning to do in 2020. We also talk about what the Lambo Goal means to us. For me, it's a big goal that I think I'll reach in a few years. For...
