That’s what makes entrepreneurs work. 06:40 When I’m working with somebody, I just have a very simple model and I look at how valuable they are—each person. 09:19 Mentoring, coaching, and training. Those three are different things but if you want to grow your business, you need all three. 12:29 The moment you make a new decision, you can take your actions, you get a different result.Connect with ElzieWebsiteLinkedInEmailConnect with Stephen Bates LinkedInWebsitePowered By Podcast Town We Help B2B Brands grow their revenue through podcasting.

Most people are really good technicians and decent entrepreneurs. Not a lot of great managers out there truly when you think about small business owners because one of the biggest frustrations you often see is people, and part of being a great manager is dealing with people. 05:18 You have to put on the entrepreneur's hat sometimes and do the strategy and do the planning. You have to put on the manager’s hat sometimes and make sure the systems and people are taken care of. 06:17 Hiring a coach, digging in to do the work to try and be a better owner is going to require you to be uncomfortable.08:26 If you wanna perform at a really high level, you need an outside perspective. 12:47 If you’re not starting from your values and from things that actually matter, it’s so easy to get off track. Connect with ElzieWebsiteConnect with Matt CarleWebsiteLinkedInPowered By Podcast Town We Help B2B Brands grow their revenue through podcasting.

In today’s episode, Elzie talks with Iva Paleckova, an executive coach for entrepreneurs, international speaker, and #1 Amazon best-selling author. Iva shares her thoughts on how to be uncomfortable and embracing humility to help you grow. She recommends following your own journey to discover your purpose and your path to clarity. Highlights:06:51 I was also applying for government support, which was the most humiliating thing that I’ve ever done in my entrepreneurial career. Finally, I realized, you know what, if anybody can figure it out it’s gonna be me. I’m going to figure it out.10:31 So I had no time, or no luxury to avoid the discomfort in any shape or form. It was like do or die, no time for these things. Now later, I had to start working with how do I get myself into the space of being very comfortable with discomfort with all of these feelings as they come up despite there being no financial threads. 14:25 Somebody asked me earlier on a podcast interview today, how do you define success, and the one thing that is coming to me is, it’s humility. It’s the ability to say I don’t know. 17:44 We come here into this body, into this lifetime, and in our early childhood something happens. Something mildly, or more, traumatic, where we forget who we are. We lose the connection to our soul and we get lost.23:22 When you’re living on purpose, it feels good. Resources Connect with Iva PaleckovaWebsiteLinkedinTwitterThe Sovereign Entrepreneur ShowConnect with ElzieWebsitePowered By Podcast Town We Help B2B Brands grow their revenue through podcasting.

But I always wanted to be an entrepreneur, that’s sort of the American dream, first coming to America and then owning a business and running it and adding jobs and creating great things and we’ve been able to do it. It was a hard journey, it was not easy.08:29 There was this drive, there was this urge inside that I can do it, we can do it. If I get the right people together, if I can mortgage my house and pour enough money in, leave my job and do it full-time and get the right investors and bank. 09:48 If you put a good team together and have a vision and have a plan that I, we, Sprecher can be this craft beverage icon of America, why not us? A small company from Glendale, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and once people believe in it, you do magic, you do great things.15:16 A good coach is someone who can look at you from a neutral standpoint, look at your positives, your good and your flaws and tell you how to put yourself in a position where you can succeed and utilize your strength.19:00 Your strength sometimes is your weakness, too. Be careful there.22:07 It’s okay to make mistakes, I really believe that if you’re not making mistakes you’re not learning, you’re not trying hard enough but learn from it.

Stop chasing after the idea that we have to be an entrepreneur or a business owner.09:58 A sale at the end of the day, that's most effective. One that liberates someone from a space of pain, asking for an exchange that they see worthy of the path to them being liberated from that pain.12:38 Everything that we get is a result of the cause and effect of our actions coming out and becoming a result.13:35 We are experiencing the fruits of our unconscious habits and behaviors in our everyday life and those unconscious habits or behaviors are being executed on the back of our mindset.Connect with Daniel MangenaWebsiteInstagramConnect with ElzieWebsitePowered By Podcast Town We Help B2B Brands grow their revenue through podcasting.

Building a successful personal brand will allow you to have more impact.Highlights:01:26 If you add more value than anybody else, sales are easy. It’s not getting on the phone with somebody and trying to sell them on something, it’s adding value and then finding the best fit. 02:52 When you have more episodes than anybody else, you often have more credibility which has helped me a lot.04:06 You can have the biggest following in the world, but if you’re not able to convert them, it doesn’t matter.04:37 You have to believe in yourself, your product, your service, and your result. If you don’t, it’s just not going to work.05:14 Understand that some people will be ready now, some people will be ready eventually, and the vast majority of people will never be ready and that’s OK. 06:49 When you grow in scale, you lose relationships. So, if you can build real relationships with real people, you can go toe to toe with any of the businesses.08:10 You’ve gotta do different things. If it’s different, it’s valuable. And if it’s valuable, it’s worth doubling down on.10:30 If you produce content based on your area of expertise, people will understand that that’s what that person is really good at and they’ll reach out to you when the time is right.Resources Connect with Kevin PalmieriLinkedinInstagram: Never Quit KidNext Level University Connect with ElzieWebsitePowered By Podcast Town We Help B2B Brands grow their revenue through podcasting.

In today’s episode, Elzie talks to Chris West, the best-selling author of Strong Language: The Fastest, Smartest, Cheapest Marketing Tool You’re Not Using and CEO of Verbal Identity, specializing in corporate narrative, brand voice guidelines, and writer training. Chis talks about how language is a superpower and the most underused tool in business. In the “What is the Stupidest Thing You’ve Done” segment, he emphasizes the need to understand as much about business before becoming an entrepreneur. He explains the concept of “founderitis” and offers three tips to help reign in your ideas. Chris stresses the importance of consistency throughout all aspects of business and the value of human relationships.Highlights:02:14 I don’t believe sales is selling people stuff they don’t want. I think sales is a transfer of confidence. It’s about the stuff that you know is good and you know that they need. 03:59 Good businesses have 20 stories to tell; great businesses tell one story. 06:02 Know your vision. Overall what do you want to get to? What’s your view of the world? What world do you believe in? And if you believe in that world, what do you want to stand for and what do you want to stand against? And does your idea help you with that?09:00 My dumbest idea is probably leaving a business before I had business skills. 12:12 I would say listen and just ask open questions. They’re not techniques; they’re things that I think could really help people.12:44 I think the thing you’ve got to have is consistency. In sales, you can’t stop. It’s going to be 99 phone calls, and they’re all going to be rubbish. But it’s the 100th, right, and if you don’t make the 99th you’re not going to get to the 100th and you’ve got to do it consistently. 13:17 Success for me will be having created really wonderful relationships with people who would identify themselves as clients that move beyond that transactional.Resources: Connect with Chris WestlinkedinWebsiteTwitterConnect with ElzieWebsitePowered By Podcast Town We Help B2B Brands grow their revenue through podcasting.

If you don’t bring in revenue, you can’t pay salaries, you can’t pay the rent, you can’t pay the light bill. So sales and revenue are critical and you have to keep growing or you’re going to fall into a rut.05:37 For a single sit down meeting I can sell my company day in and day out. I believe in it, I believe in what we do, I think we’re very, very good at what we do and I care about it. To be a salesman every day of the week - I can’t handle it. 08:01 The experience I got in corporate was critical to being a success as an entrepreneur. It taught me a lot of things. 09:13 To me, marketing brings in the leads, sales closes them.13:47 My mistake was thinking I could do things that I couldn’t and that’s a typical entrepreneurial mistake. I’ve learned, you don’t have to be the smartest person in the room, you just have to know how to hire the smartest person in the room.15:28 There’s a lesson in that. Having the self-awareness to know what you’re good at and what you’re not good at is a key to success. Connect with CharlesGet [email protected] with ElzieWebsitePowered By Podcast Town We Help B2B Brands grow their revenue through podcasting.

In this episode, Elzie talks to Dani Peleva who is the CEO and founder of the company called Franchise Fame which is a marketing agency for the franchising sector. Dani works with global franchisors and helps them expand into new territories through digital marketing campaigns and marketing strategies. The episode is about franchising and everything that’s going on behind it. Episode Highlights: 02:45 I believe a lot of people have business ideas or a passion for something but they are often afraid of failure or they lack support and knowledge on how to start themselves which is why franchising is a great opportunity for people who want to work for themselves and exit the corporate world but they need some structure and framework. 04:56 There are a lot of ways to get training and information about franchising especially in the era of the internet and communications. 07:08 I think a lot of the changes that happened in 2020 facilitated the franchising industry’s growth. It helped people realize that they can work for themselves but also mitigate risk. 10:11 The model of franchising is built on relationships, that is the franchisor trying to recruit franchisees that are going to buy into his business model. 13:04 For me, as a woman, I think the key to success has always been consistency. 15:01 I think once you know and understand yourself and what drives you and what your goal is, you will then get the answer to what you’d like to do. ResourcesConnect with Dani PelevaWebsiteLinkedinInstagramConnect with ElzieWebsitePowered By Podcast Town We Help B2B Brands grow their revenue through podcasting.
