One of the cornerstones of building a trusted brand is sharing great content. For many people, it’s also the most intimidating.   The research, the writing, the proofing. Then you need to make it search friendly, and check the use of keywords, have the right markup - the list goes on and on. How can a busy professional find the time? Well, the answer may just surprise you, because today, on the Mindshare Mindcast, we’re spending a little time with one of the most successful bloggers in the...

Benjamin Franklin famously said “...but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Sometimes, I wonder of those aren’t the same thing.  You know the feeling.  April 15th is coming up, and you feel that knot in your stomach as you worry about getting your taxes done right while stressing over how little of your money you actually kept. But, hey - if you’re an entreprenuer, it’s not as bad as it looks, right? You just work harder and make more. Have you ever...

Hey everybody. Welcome to this episode of the Mindshare Mindcast. Oh boy, today we've got a supercharged, literally supercharged episode with you. As Founder and President of the Human Communications Institute, our next guest has helped thousands of people, I'm among one of those, transform their lives through his signature events, audio seminars and one-on-one coaching - and combining his natural talent as a communicator, and you'll hear for yourself what that's like. His deep understanding...

You know, inside every one of us is this feeling that just won't go away. It's that internal knowing that we're really meant for more. I mean, Lisa Sasevich has had that feeling, but she used it to propel her life to a life of abundance and contribution even beyond her wildest dreams. Lisa went from being fired from her dream job the night before Christmas Eve to building a home-based business that generated over $40 million in sales, all with two young kids in tow. Lisa's known by many as...

We all have dreams for what we want to be when we grow up.  Some dreams come true but most do not. Let’s be honest.   Our guest today also had a dream. As a young boy, he loved football.  He was so committed to playing the sport professionally he publicly declared to family and friends his goal of dominating his position, and making it to the NFL, in spite of being smaller, slower, and less genetically gifted than most who played the game.   But dominate he did, overcoming incredible odds...

Let me ask you a question. Did you go in business because you needed a job, wanted better income, or because you wanted to create an asset - a business that, over time, could produce revenue from a source other than your direct labor? I’m pretty sure it’s not because you wanted to work longer hours for less pay taking on more stress and risk. But that’s what a lot of entrepreneurs do.  They trade more of their time for less money in the pursuit of a dream - they want to become a celebrity...

Seems these days everyone’s looking for what’s missing. And I don’t know about you, but you could serve hundreds or even thousands of people in your business and still feel disconnected, lonely, even just get in a funk. And everyone’s noticing this stuff everywhere. It shows up in a lot of different ways, too. Addictions to social media or TV, drugs, alcohol, sex ... even work. Seems like everyone is starving, and no one’s getting what they really need.   Have you ever felt less than 100%?...

Now, it’s absolutely true that you need to know what the outcomes are that you want in your life. You need to have real clarity about how you show up in the world. What is the activity you’re doing? What’s your life look like? But many times the vehicle that gets you there isn’t what you thought. In the case of Devan, who started his career as a professional athlete, he certainly didn’t think within three years that would close for him and he’d have to be open to new opportunities, but, like...

Have you ever met someone you just instantly respect?  Someone who, for what could be an unexplainable reason you simply admire for how they show up in the world? That’s the feeling many people I know have when they meet Dr. Alan Christianson.  But it wasn’t always that way for Alan. Born with Cerebral Palsey, Alan struggled as a child to do the things most young boys take for granted.  But it was his curiosity matched with incredible discipline and consistent effort that took Alan from one...

Nothing's more frustrating than ending your day and putting your head on a pillow and beating yourself up saying, “Why didn't I say that to that person?” or “Why didn't I raise my hand?” or “Why didn't I speak up?” or “Why didn't I take action?” “Why didn't I close that sale when that person expressed interest?” Nothing beats us ... that was the trapped self. There is something that you were concerned with on the field of play as opposed to, “I am confident. I'm articulate. I'm decisive,”...

When 75% of the cost of our healthcare system are largely preventable, if you want to get the pharmaceutical industry under control, let's all get healthy. I mean that at the end of the day is how you're going to make your real impact. You can complain and moan all you want, but if we get healthy, then that is going to reduce the impact of the pharmaceutical industry. It will reduce their power, and they can stay focused and the healthcare system can really stay focused on those people who...

How many of us never really realize our true potential - because we fail to take the leap, and get out there with our message? Some call it fear of failure. For others - it’s imposter’s syndrome. So many people QUIT right before their break thru. How about you? Be honest. Do you feel Stuck? Like you're running up a greased chute, or stuck in quicksand in your business? You’re not alone, and - the good news is - the pivots you need are most likely way simpler then you think. You just need to...

The notion of value has always fascinated me, partly, because it’s so subjective. And I think it’s that subjectivity that make us many times under-value what we do for others. Because that’s the real measure of value. Have you saved someone time, money or improved their life with what you could do better than they could do on their own? Examples are all around - the car detailer that comes to your office or home that charges 3X more for the car wash you could get up the street if you went...

If you’re like most influencers - you’ve got an important message to share. And one of the best ways to do that is to write a book. But the BIG question is, how to you get distribution? Do you need to get on the NYTimes Best Seller’s List? Should you write a book proposal for a publishing deal, or should you self-publish? To go deep, you need to get to Mindshare Summit this year - we’ve got some amazing breakouts that will help you get traction on your next book - but if your curious about...

7 to 10 times better. That’s how much greater impact you have on people when you speak on a stage. And in the mindshare Community - no one knows stages like Pete Vargas - CEO of Advance your reach - except for maybe JJ - who has built her brand and audience leveraging stages for most of her career. In this episode of the Mindshare Mindcast - we talk about the business and personal impact of stages, and share exactly how Pete went from Youth Pastor to speaking in an area with over 30K...
