How to Get Verified on Instagram Hosted by: James Patrick There's a lot we do on Instagram to appear more credible, more professional, and that we have a bit more clout.

BTI # 470: When to Celebrate

E

When to Celebrate Hosted by: James Patrick For people like me, and perhaps for people like you, showing off is hard to do. Why? Because it seems that all we ever see when we fire up social media, is an endless stream of accomplishments. A barrage of celebratory news, an assault of requests for congratulations. It can't all be real, can it? People's lives cannot be this "#blessed." I've often said that social media represents the greatest hits of each other's lives. The thing about the greatest hits is that they don't include the b-tracks that never made it to the airways. We're so often turned off or pissed off at this tidal wave of other celebrations, which we know are not entirely true, that we never stop to celebrate our own legitimate accomplishments. "When we don't celebrate our victories, we rob ourselves of the momentum to achieve our next accomplishment," IN THIS EPISODE The truth behind social media. Why we end up not celebrating ourselves. Things you should be celebrating and why. Taking time TODAY to share something you've accomplished in the Facebook group below.

BTI # 467: Dirty Words to Never Say Again

Dirty Words to Never Say Again Hosted by: James Patrick There are some things about being a parent that I probably saw coming for me. For example, I saw that I would have some sleepless nights that would make me walk around in a daze on most days. I saw having to change a lot of diapers. The thing that I didn't really anticipate was the words that I use. I didn't think I had a bad vocabulary until my son started to emulate the words I was saying. Granted, he's not saying it very clearly but he's getting close. Thus, my expletives must be deleted. So, I've had to clean up my language. But in this episode I'm not just talking about curse words. In this episode, I want to talk about the words that we should not be using in our own industry. "We use it because, if we're being honest, we are too lazy to peel apart the layers and actually define what it is we're delivering to our clients." IN THIS EPISODE A list of words we should stop saying in our industry. The effects that may come with using these specific words. The importance of saying clearly what you're providing to your client. Words that people have said they are tired of seeing and why. Getting hyper specific and solving problems.

Should You Be Edgy? Hosted by: James Patrick Do you want to know what sucks? Being told that you suck, you're a douchebag, you're not a good photographer. These things all suck to hear and they're not fun to see people saying that about yourself and your work. I recently had one of my posts shared by a large photography account. The comments on this share were intense, to say the least. "Bro, you suck." "You're a douchebag." "Your work sucks." Am I reading these to tongue the pain a little? Yes, I am. But that's not the point. Today, we're going to talk about whether or not you should be edgy. "In order to be remembered, you must do something remarkable." IN THIS EPISODE How to take a photo that doesn't suck series. Who your content should be for, regardless of the naysayers. Defining yourself in a unique way. Creating something worth noticing.

Warning Signs of BS Marketing Hosted by: James Patrick This may come as a surprise to you, but I was somewhat of a smartass at the youthful age of 21. I know there's no way you believe that. But the truth is that cynicism is a part of my DNA. There was a girl I had a crush on when I was 21 and I was trying to swoon her. One evening she invited me to join her at a meeting. I accepted under one condition; if this meeting ended up being a pyramid scheme, I would walk out. The meeting was held at the conference room of a small hotel near the university. There was a keynote speaker who everyone revered and seemed to know, but I had no clue who he was. Over the next 35 minutes, he talked about this amazing opportunity to create economic freedom, become an entrepreneur, and to take control of our lives for the first time ever. All we had to do was onboard with this company. I did end up walking out of that meeting and we're going to talk about why. Today, we're going to talk about the bullshit of fantasy marketing. "They only want you to connect with others in the system." IN THIS EPISODE The problem within our industry and how people are trying to keep up. Revelations James had when he was entrapped. Warning signs. Messages that don't teach strategy or tactics. Behavioral control. The art of deception.

Imagine that you have two great runners. They both run the exact same race and amazingly, they finish at the exact same time. However, the difference between the runners is that one runner has perfect form. The other runner runs like a complete weirdo. Now assume you're a coach. Which runner do you choose to take under your wing to train? Most listeners will choose the runner with perfect form. But why? Let's talk about this scenario and dive into if your starting line determines your finish line. "Each of us needs to be substantially better at acknowledging our starting line." IN THIS EPISODE The false statement that influencers have been pushing. Do we all have the same starting line? Recognizing privilege. The one thing we are in control of that will help our outcome.

I know it's not that productive, you don't want to be involved in it, the people I'm arguing with don't want to be involved with it, and there are parts of me that don't even want to be a part of it. But I saw something the other day that really irked me. It brought up a conversation I want to dive into today; the problem with sales.
