They multiply quickly.” “Feel the rush of a job well done.” Know your game-changing activities. Find at least one thing that you like about yourself. “You can always write a new story for yourself.”   Lisa’s Book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1734406208/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0 Lisa’s Site: https://www.lisastearns.com/   The opening track is titled “Crystal Rain” by MadXRuler (formerly known as Ruler Inc.).

“Marketing strategy is what you want to say for the next 20 days and branding strategy is what you want to say for the next 20 years.” – Laura Bull   Today’s featured bestselling author is branding boss and family gal, Laura Bull. Laura and I talk about her new book, branding, and tons more!!   Key Takeaways: Marketing can be fun if you are being creative with it.   Long and prosperous careers happen when you are hands-on with your marketing.   Branding is consistent.   Influencer branding involves knowing your target audience and how they need to hear your message.   Marketing strategy is dependent on your brand. So know your brand first.   Core values should remain but not certain marketing strategies.   Try new things.   The “It factor” is about having to be confident and focused on your brand.   Trust is a two-way street when it comes to influencing others.   Relevance and creativity go together.   Your brand must be genuine to the audience you plan to serve.   PIN = Product. Image. Narrative.   Being able to live and have truly memorable experiences is a gift.     Laura’s Site: https://www.laurabull.com/   Laura’s Book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1632992612?pf_rd_p=ab873d20-a0ca-439b-ac45-cd78f07a84d8&pf_rd_r=3R4QCDNZ846CYQXG4YMJ&tag=smarturl-20   The opening track is titled "New Perspective" by the magnanimous chill-hop master, Marcus D (@marcusd).

“It’s one thing to know the gift, it’s another thing to nurture the gift.” – Dr. Ray Charles   Today’s featured bestselling author is keynote speaker, risk management specialist, certified spiritual coach, and fellow podcast host, Dr. Ray Charles. Dr. Ray and I talk about being proactive, how he serves leaders, and tons more!!!   Key Takeaways: Every go-to person needs a go-to person in their time of need. Don’t allow your success be a Pyrrhic victory. Have a global corporate network of mentors that will mirror your world clock. Don’t just limit them to the US. Always be in a state of readiness. Readiness requires a state of intentionality. Focus on the kilobytes of life when making progress instead of the terabytes. Be proactive on one thing. Always set timely specific goals to proactively manifest your desires. “Be proactive to the next step.” Setbacks will come. Turn them into a failing forward moment. Set your mind ahead of time on how you can be resilient. “Life was designed to be an ecosystem.” Find your DNA, your Distinct Natural Ability “Falling is part of the formation process.” Always have both skill and heart. Serving leaders is Dr. Ray’s mission. Be intentional about who your mentors are. Hedge your risk in life by having mentors. “Stress is not going to take me out.” Be intentional in developing your gifts. Be open and stay in a place of humility.   Dr. Ray’s Site: https://www.drraycharles.com/ Dr. Ray’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Dr.-Ray-Charles/e/B07NNJ4NRG?ref_=dbs_p_ebk_r00_abau_000000 Righteous Leadership Podcast: https://anchor.fm/righteousleadership   Related Episodes: 1 - "Burn the Box" with Shawn Purvis (@shawnepurvis): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-1-burn-the-box-w-shawn-purvis-shawnepurvis   9 - "Life Liberation" with Dr. Sinclair Grey III (@DrSinclairGrey): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/the-going-north-podcast-episode-9-dr-sinclair-grey-iii-drsinclairgrey   17 - "The Abundance Mentality" with Daniel Ally (@danielallyway): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-17-the-abundance-mentality-with-daniel-ally-danielallyway   84 - "Innovation and Leadership" with Dr. Jeff Standridge: http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/84-innovation-and-leadership-with-dr-jeff-standridge   95 - "L.I.F.E." with Jim Phillips (@inspired10): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/95-life-with-jim-phillips-inspired10   99 - "Leader By Choice" with Andres Valdes (@IamAndresValdes): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/99-leader-by-choice-with-andres-valdes-iamandresvaldes   119 - "A Passion for High Performance & Professional Development" with Dr. Elizabeth Carter (@eacaappeal): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/119-a-passion-for-high-performance-professional-development-with-dr-elizabeth-carter-eacaappeal   136 - "Leadership Development" with Kevin Wayne Johnson (@Writing4theLord): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/136-leadership-development-with-kevin-wayne-johnson-writing4thelord 165 - "What Is Enough" with Treveal Lynch (@trevealcwlynch): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/165-what-is-enough-with-treveal-lynch-trevealcwlynch   168 - "Spiral" with Amy Simpkins (@amylsimpkins): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/168-spiral-with-amy-simpkins-amylsimpkins   193 – “The Quest For Purpose” with Dr. Ken Keis (@crgleader): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/193-the-quest-for-purpose-with-dr-ken-keis-crgleader     You can find more resources and leadership training programmes on findcourses.com

Don’t assume that you will be a successful author without time, talent and or money. Today’s featured USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author is publishing industry expert, Amy Collins. Amy and I talk about what it takes to become a successful author and more!!!   Key Takeaways: Over 1.3 million new books came out in 2018. 4 million ISBN numbers have been generated in 2018. No book has become a bestselling book without some kind of help. No one is exempt from the hustle requirement when it comes to marketing and selling your books. Constantly get the word out about your book consistently. Time, money and or talent are a must with writing. Any 2 of these with daily consistent effort can help you become a successful author. Have a good growing relationship with your readers and be willing to grow your readership. People who call themselves lazy are just really afraid. Don’t wait for the perfect moment to ask for what you want. Ask or make an offer at least once a day. Seek to become a successful author and not just a bestselling author. “Being afraid is not an unusual thing. We all have fears.” “Do not build your team based on who you like. Build your team based on what you need.” “Don’t say yes to things unthinkingly.”   Amy’s Site: https://www.newshelves.com/ Amy’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Amy-Collins/e/B001K8G8KW/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1 The opening track is titled "New Perspective" by the magnanimous chill-hop master, Marcus D (@marcusd).

Dr. Charles and I talk about his newest book, “A Spoonful of Courage” as well as the benefits of sleep according to the Bible and more!!!   Key Takeaways: “Instead of counting sheep, talk to the Shepherd.” Be busy with what God wants you to do. Suffering is real. Look upward to God and outward on how you can transform your circumstances for good. Keep a journal by your bed to capture thoughts, revelations and release what’s inside of you.

“Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it.” – David Wood   Today’s featured author is a leading coach, speaker, and tough conversations ninja, David Wood. David and I talk about why we avoid tough conversations, emotional Aikido, and more!   Key Takeaways: “We are creatures of comfort.” Live life fully now and don’t wait till your deathbed to realize this. Truth. Daring. Caring. Pushing yourself too much without easing up is dangerous and can lead to depression. Make friends with surrendering to the Divine. Be aware of your triggers. Start your personal growth journey early.   David’s Site: http://playforreal.life/ David’s Book: https://www.amazon.com/Get-Paid-Who-You-Are-ebook/dp/B003WMA85A Authentic Relating International Nonprofit: https://www.authenticrelating.org/   The opening track is titled, "Improve Yourself More" by Rukunetsu aka Project R.
