Henry Lopez and Mark discuss the importance of having a business mindset. Henry explains that a business mindset is about putting together a venture or opportunity that makes a profit. Henry and Mark then talk about the Podcast Introduction Group, a business they set up to help people join podcast to help build their personal and professional brands.

The speaker defined an entrepreneur as someone who is not involved in the day-to-day operations of their business until after its launch, and who has a portfolio of businesses generating income. A business owner, on the other hand, is someone who is more involved in the day-to-day operations. The speaker then shared that they aspire to be an entrepreneur, but are likely a business owner. They also shared some books that have been impactful on their entrepreneurial journey, such as Rich Dad Poor Dad and The EMyth. The speaker is discussing his upbringing and how it has influenced his business success.

He mentions three books that were influential to him: Rich Dad, Poor Dad, The EMyth, and Purple Cow. Additionally, he recommends Seth Godin’s book, Traction and Gino Wickman’s Entrepreneurial Leap. Lastly, he talks about his family and how his grandfather had to leave Cuba during the Batista government, and how his uncle was bought into the revolutionary movement and stayed in Cuba. His upbringing has instilled in him an entrepreneurial spirit which has been reflected in his business success. The conversation is between two people discussing the immigrant experience in America. The speaker shares a story about the experience of their Cuban grandparents, who were immigrants to the USA.

Rob was very physical during his younger years and he developed a speech impediment which made him lose his confidence in talking. He was a successful basketball player, but decided to focus on academics during his last two years of college. He had coaches that helped him build his confidence, discipline, and skills which had an impact on his career.

Rocco Carriero, CEO, private wealth advisor, and author, joins Mark in a podcast interview to discuss the importance of legacy planning. Mark is 42 and while he isn't looking to retire anytime soon, he is interested in planning for his legacy. Rocco explains that most people think of retirement planning first, but parents usually think of legacy planning. He brings up the three cords approach which is a way to plan for one's legacy. The three cords are financial, spiritual, and relational. Financial planning is about making sure one's wealth will last for generations. Spiritual planning is about establishing a sense of family values and a shared vision. Relational planning is about connecting with other family members and creating an emotional bond. Legacy planning is about setting up a sustainable foundation for the future generations. The conversation focuses on business mindset and goal planning. The guest explains that a business mindset is about clarity, confidence and direction. He believes that goal planning is important, his whole family including his two young children have goals and written activities to achieve them. The guest also reveals that his parents immigrated from Italy to the United States in 1962, and he believes this reflects on who he is today. The speaker was raised in a traditional Italian American family on Long Island, New York, where he was surrounded by people from Italy, but also integrated with American culture. His parents only had one child, him, and he was lucky to be provided with plenty of food, love, and togetherness. In his 20s, he realized he wanted more financial resources, so he studied recipes of success and created his own financial independence. He was able to integrate his Italian American family with American culture and create his own lifestyle, such as skiing and a big family. Ultimately, he realized that if something he wants isn't given to him, it is his responsibility to create it.Timestamps0:00:15Introducing the Podcast Introduction Group: A Platform for Growing Your Brand and Reaching New Audiences0:02:32Interview with Rocco Carriero: Exploring Legacy Planning for Parents0:04:30Interview with Business Owner: Exploring the Business Mindset and Goal Planning0:09:02Interview with Joe DiGiovanni: Growing Up in an Italian American Family and Creating Financial Independence0:14:56Conversation on Taking Responsibility for Your Life and Wealth Management for Business Owners0:16:55Exploring the Concept of Work-Life Balance0:18:30Heading: Balancing Business, Family, and Self: A ConversationSupport the showIf you want to watch the full video of this episode go to:https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalksDo you want to be a guest on multiple podcasts as a service go to:www.podcastintroduction.comFind more details about the podcast and my coaching business on:www.businessgrowthtalks.comFind me onLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-hayw...Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mjh169183YouTube Shorts - https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalks/shorts

Chris Joyce is the founder and CEO of Gasha, a performance-based equity business. During the podcast, Chris discussed what a business mindset means to him. He believes it requires flexibility to listen to the markets while also being rigid with one's purpose and focus. Chris's end goal is to untap as much human potential as possible, which he believes will have a ripple effect on the world. He believes that businesses should always strive to make decisions only once. Chris discussed how Gasha helps to empower people to reach their full potential. Gasha provides resources for individuals to take control of their finances and career, by providing information, resources and tools to help them grow and succeed. By leveraging performance-based equity, Gasha is able to help individuals maximize their potential and achieve their goals. The speaker's attitude towards their career has shifted over time from being primarily focused on themselves to having a more far-reaching ripple effect. They grew up in what they called an Evil Brady Bunch, with a stepfather who was a rigid electrical engineer. This stepfather taught them the value of self-discipline and believing in oneself, which has been incredibly helpful for their success as an entrepreneur. Their stepfather was a colonel in the Air Force and the speaker credits him with instilling the importance of self-discipline and belief in oneself. The conversation is about the importance of developing self-belief and doing the difficult work that other people don't want to do in order to be successful as an entrepreneur. The speaker talks about his father's experience in the Air Force and how it taught him about humanity and that everyone has a little voice inside of them that they should listen to. He explains that people often have doubts and fears as well as negative input from their family and friends, but it is essential to protect and cultivate that inner voice. He cites David Goggins' phrase of do what others won't do or unable to do or don't want to do as a way to be successful, and Gary Vee's advice of not partying but rather focusing on work. He also shares his own experience of working in corporate for 14 years before starting his businesses and how it was not providing the value he was looking for.0:00:15 "Introducing the Podcast Introduction Group: A Platform for Growing Your Business and Brand"0:02:33 Interview with Chris Joyce, Founder and CEO of Gasha: Unlocking Human Potential Through Performance-Based Equity Business0:06:09 Exploring the Value of Self-Belief as an Entrepreneur: A Conversation with [Name]0:09:51 Conversation on Entrepreneurship: Advice for Taking the Leap aSupport the showIf you want to watch the full video of this episode go to:https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalksDo you want to be a guest on multiple podcasts as a service go to:www.podcastintroduction.comFind more details about the podcast and my coaching business on:www.businessgrowthtalks.comFind me onLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-hayw...Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mjh169183YouTube Shorts - https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalks/shorts

The speaker discussed their upbringing in Bruges, Belgium, a UNESCO world heritage historical city. Bruges was once one of the wealthiest cities in Europe, with a vibrant trading marketplace where people from all over Europe would come to sell and trade their goods. This influx of money made Bruges a beautiful historical town and this mercantile history has had a lasting impression on the speaker, who has adopted a business mindset focused on solving problems and providing service.The speaker was raised in a small town and felt like a 'free range chicken', with independence and freedom from a young age. Growing up surrounded by beautiful architecture from multiple epochs has made an indelible impression on him, making him able to recognize when something is off or not quite right. This appreciation of beauty carries through to his software development, where he believes in the concept of beauty being linked to the divine and striving to create something that is beautiful and meaningful.The conversation discussed the concept of beauty and how it is reflected in the physical world. It was argued that beauty can act like a candle that spreads light and that too much of the modern era is focused on creating functional things without considering their aesthetics. The speaker then asked the other person to name something beautiful they had seen or admired in the last couple of years. The other person mentioned the French open source projects that they had observed and admired for their beautiful code and structure. They concluded that the French had developed an eye for beauty due to the fact that they were surrounded by it growing up.

It doesn't require a university degree or a postgraduate degree to acquire and it is about thinking about the people you serve and providing them with the best service that you can. They also discuss how important it is to serve customers, as they are the lifeblood of a business. The conversation between two people explores the idea of making customers habitual and ingrained in order to get referrals and renewed contracts. The speaker explains that this can be achieved through a chain of events which starts with consciously incompetent and ending with unconsciously competent. They also discuss the role of a mentor in comparison to a coach and describe a mentor as somebody with deep experience of running businesses. They further explain that a coach brings their questioning and skill at opening people's minds to the things they already know, whereas a mentor brings a deep experience of running businesses. The conversation between two people focuses on the role of a mentor. A mentor looks at a business situation and is able to bring relevant experience to the situation. It is the skill of a good mentor to know when outside consultancy is needed and when coaching can be used. The speaker then talks about their upbringing in Manchester, Cheshire and how their father worked in the chemical industry while their mother was a magistrate. They studied biochemistry in university but found they didn't enjoy it, so they joined the insurance industry. They mention they were an underwriter and then left in 2001 to start their own business. They finished by saying they were Chief Underwriter and Head of Business Risk Management.Timestamps0:00:15"Introducing the Podcast Introduction Group: A Platform for Growing Your Business and Brand"0:02:47Interview with William Bust: Exploring the Business Mindset0:05:01Exploring the Difference Between Mentoring and Coaching in Business0:09:29Heading: The Role of a Mentor in Business: Balancing Coaching, Consulting, and Mentoring0:14:02"Exploring the Insurance Industry with [Name]"0:16:24Insurance: Understanding the Benefits and Misconceptions0:19:51Conversation on Insurance Claims and Business Ventures0:22:24Exploring the Journey to Intentional Mastery with David Havillard0:26:08Exploring Mastery in Business: An Interview with [Name]Support the showIf you want to watch the full video of this episode go to:https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalksDo you want to be a guest on multiple podcasts as a service go to:www.podcastintroduction.comFind more details about the podcast and my coaching business on:www.businessgrowthtalks.comFind me onLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-hayw...Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mjh169183YouTube Shorts - https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalks/shorts

Andy Dickens, the founder and CEO of Virtual Sales Limited, joined Mark on the Absolute Business Mindset podcast. According to Andy, a business mindset means having a product or service to offer and then knowing how to publicize and market it. He shared his experience with a lot of entrepreneurs who come up with great ideas but don’t know how to take them from concept to reality. They discussed sales and how to build a successful sales process. Andy shared tips on how to engage potential customers and build relationships with them. He also provided advice on how to create a sales process that works for every business. Finally, Mark asked Andy a specific question about his own business, which Andy was able to answer. In conclusion, the podcast was a great source of advice for entrepreneurs looking to start and grow their business. This conversation looks at the importance of sales for entrepreneurs. The speaker notes that many entrepreneurs are not salespeople but need to understand and employ sales channels to grow their businesses. He suggests that although some entrepreneurs may naturally turn to sales, others may feel overwhelmed and not know where to start. The speaker also reflects on his own upbringing and how it has impacted who he is today. He believes that his upbringing has taught him how to be a better listener, be more resilient, and appreciate the value of hard work. The speaker shares how he got into sales after initially not having any interest in the field. He studied Business Studies at Loughborough University and was then offered a job as a sales engineer with a company called Data Recall. From there, he asked to move into sales and was given a shot as a rookie and was successful in his first three months. He then became the top selling sales guy in the UK's premier postcode. The speaker also shares that he believes his degree in Business Studies helped him to understand customers' pain points and assign them to the service or product he was offering. He also shares enjoying the closing process of sales and using silence as a powerful tool in the process. Finally, he shares his experiences of moving from sales roles into director of sales roles, where he was responsible for managing a sales team and hitting targets.Timestamps0:02:35-Interview with Andy Dickens, Founder and CEO of Virtual Sales Limited: Exploring the Business Mindset0:04:34-"Exploring the Role of Sales in Entrepreneurship with [Name]"0:06:29 -Conversation with [Name], Sales Professional and Former Regional Manager0:11:49-"Leading from the Front: A Conversation with Sales Director, Virtual Sales Limited"0:13:52-"Exploring the EvoSupport the showIf you want to watch the full video of this episode go to:https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalksDo you want to be a guest on multiple podcasts as a service go to:www.podcastintroduction.comFind more details about the podcast and my coaching business on:www.businessgrowthtalks.comFind me onLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-hayw...Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mjh169183YouTube Shorts - https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalks/shorts

The host introduces Kevin Whelan, the founder of Wealth Builders. They discuss the new program that Kevin is running, which is focused on providing families with financial literacy and financial management skills. Kevin is developing a program to help teach financial literacy. He wants to give children of all ages the knowledge and guidance they need to become financially responsible and not fall prey to the plans of businesses. His program will give the tinies, kids up to eight years old, the basics of understanding financial responsibility. The Indies, kids finding their own feet, will get more in-depth instruction, and the Flyers, those about to leave the nest, will receive guidance and advice that their parents and the school system may not have been able to provide. The conversation revolves around the lack of financial education in the education system. The speaker believes that the education system is created by academics and educators who have the safest pensions and the least knowledge about creativity, finances, entrepreneurship, business and wealth creation. Additionally, the government has a lack of willingness to change the curriculum, as it would require teaching the teachers. The speaker is then creating a program called Wealth Builders for Families, which aims to revolutionise money education in the country, teaching people of all ages how to be a fantastic money role model for their children. The responsibility to be the best influencer of our children when it comes to money lies with us as parents. We can show them how to be role models in what we say, share, and the games we play. As adults, we need to be aware of the things we didn't learn ourselves, such as company cars and emergency taxes, in order to share the appropriate lessons with our children. We can teach children of all ages the value of giving, sharing, spending and deferring gratification. To be a great teacher, one must learn more, and often parents don't know enough since they didn't have role models. It's time to look back and think of the lessons we wish we had. Wealth builders is a program that creates a community of enlightened parents, and a family charter is created with a set of values such as being open-minded, sharing knowledge, and taking accountability and responsibility.Support the showIf you want to watch the full video of this episode go to:https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalksDo you want to be a guest on multiple podcasts as a service go to:www.podcastintroduction.comFind more details about the podcast and my coaching business on:www.businessgrowthtalks.comFind me onLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-hayw...Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mjh169183YouTube Shorts - https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalks/shorts

The conversation between the two focuses on discussing the business mindset and what it means to the interviewee. The interviewee is a sales trainer and founder of 7th Level, a business in sales. He states that success in business and sales requires absolute certainty and commitment. He shares that he had a 17 year sales career before retiring in 2017 and starting 7th Level in 2018. He further states that commitment is key to success and that professional athletes, actors, and actresses who make millions of dollars per film are examples of this. He affirms that commitment is essential to achieving success in any industry. This conversation focuses on the importance of commitment in order to be successful. It is discussed that commitment means having one foot in and one foot out, and having a plan A that you are all in on and figuring out how to make it extremely successful. It is also mentioned that God provides the birds with food, but does not put the worms in their nest, meaning that you have to take the steps to acquire the skill and take action to achieve success. Personal responsibility is also discussed as being critical for success, as those in the top 1% have committed to be the best at whatever they do. Commitment is the foundation for success, and without it, one will never reach the top. The conversation between the two speakers revolves around the theme of commitment. The first speaker explains that anyone who has achieved success in their profession has done so because of commitment. They have acquired the necessary skills and are willing to do things that others are not willing to do. The second speaker then discusses the commitment of their organization, which has enabled it to become the fastest growing sales training company for two years in a row. The second speaker then poses a question to the first speaker, asking them to reflect on something from their upbringing that reflects who they are now. The first speaker mentions that they grew up on a cattle ranch in Missouri and that this experience taught them the importance of commitment.Timestamps0:03:04Interview with Sales Trainer and Business Founder: Exploring the Business Mindset0:05:11The Power of Commitment: Achieving Success in Business and Life0:06:34Conversation on Commitment and Professional Growth0:08:22Conversation on Commitment and Career Choices0:10:20Heading: How Divine Providence Led to a Career in Behavioral Science and Sales0:11:37Heading: How I Got Into Sales and Learned to Become a Problem Finder0:14:31"Exploring Neuroemotional Persuasion QuestiSupport the showIf you want to watch the full video of this episode go to:https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalksDo you want to be a guest on multiple podcasts as a service go to:www.podcastintroduction.comFind more details about the podcast and my coaching business on:www.businessgrowthtalks.comFind me onLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-hayw...Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mjh169183YouTube Shorts - https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalks/shorts

Michelle Johnson is an executive coach, professional management professor and author who discussed the importance of a business mindset. She believes that the traditional approach of just focusing on bottom line results is no longer enough. She believes that leaders need to adapt to the new world of work and higher expectations when it comes to culture, climate, and environment within a business. She discussed her research and interviews on how leaders and humans can adapt. She also mentioned that she has seen good and bad culture within companies during her 14 years in corporate before she started her own business. The conversation discussed the seismic shift in the business world over the past few decades, particularly in relation to gender and culture. It was suggested that millennials have had a major influence on this change, as have women in leadership roles. An example was provided of a 2004-2005 executive mentor program, which aimed to connect fresh, wide-eyed business students with business leaders in order to orient them to the world of business opportunities and to keep them in the New Orleans area. The executives reported that the new generation of workers was vastly different. Thus, this conversation highlighted the importance of millennials and women in leadership roles in driving the change in the business world. The conversation discussed the cultural shift within the workplace, brought on by millennials and their push for work-life balance that their parents’ generation did not have. The speaker shared a story of her father who worked for General Motors and moved around every two years due to corporate promotions. The speaker then discussed Jenny Blumenthal, a high-level leader at PricewaterhouseCoopers who quit her job during the pandemic due to the inability to balance her work and family responsibilities. The speaker then raised the point that if companies do not listen to the push for work-life balance, their workforce will be disengaged and their bottom line will suffer. The conversation concluded with the speaker questioning what the alternative would be if companies do not listen.Timestamps0:02:47Interview with Michelle Johnson: Exploring the Seismic Shift in Leadership and Business Mindset0:04:56Heading: Examining the Seismic Shift in Business Culture Over the Last Century0:06:43Discussion on Work-Life Balance in the Modern Workplace0:10:42Exploring Work-Life Balance with a Millennial Corporate Brat0:15:30Heading: "The Power of Owning Your Story: An Executive Coach's Journey to Authenticity"0:17:59"The Benefits of BeSupport the showIf you want to watch the full video of this episode go to:https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalksDo you want to be a guest on multiple podcasts as a service go to:www.podcastintroduction.comFind more details about the podcast and my coaching business on:www.businessgrowthtalks.comFind me onLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-hayw...Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mjh169183YouTube Shorts - https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalks/shorts

Podcast guesting can be an effective marketing strategy for entrepreneurs. By appearing as a guest on a popular podcast, entrepreneurs can reach a new audience and promote their business in a conversational and engaging manner.One of the benefits of podcast guesting is the ability to connect with the host and their audience. This provides the opportunity to build rapport and establish credibility with the audience. Entrepreneurs can use this platform to share their story, expertise, and knowledge on a topic related to their business. This can help position them as a thought leader in their industry, increase brand awareness, and attract potential customers.Additionally, podcast guesting allows entrepreneurs to reach a targeted audience. Most podcasts cater to specific niches or interests, so by appearing on a relevant podcast, entrepreneurs can reach an audience that is more likely to be interested in their product or service. This type of targeted marketing can result in higher conversions compared to more generalized marketing methods.Another advantage of podcast guesting is that it generates content that can be used for future marketing efforts. Entrepreneurs can repurpose their podcast appearance by sharing it on social media, their website, or in other marketing materials. This can increase their visibility and reach, as well as provide valuable content for their audience.Find more onwww.podcastintroduction.comSupport the showIf you want to watch the full video of this episode go to:https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalksDo you want to be a guest on multiple podcasts as a service go to:www.podcastintroduction.comFind more details about the podcast and my coaching business on:www.businessgrowthtalks.comFind me onLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-hayw...Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mjh169183YouTube Shorts - https://www.youtube.com/@markhayward-BizGrowthTalks/shorts

A feature length episode with Mark Herschberg, this is our second podcast conversation, where we talk about the role of media and his new app called Brain Bump. Mark believes that content is moving from a traditional push method to a new pull view on content. He is making this happen with the creation of his new app called Brain Bump. This app is where content providers add hints and tips from their content and the user either schedules or searches for these tips. This means you can gather the hints from Mark’s book in seconds.
