Yet sometimes we get worn down by life or complacent and become like the elephant in captivity on a thin rope--the elephant could snap the rope in one tug and escape, but because when they were young they weren't strong enough to do it, they mistakenly believe they never can. If we believe we can achieve any goal we set, assemble the right team if needed, put in the work, and break it into smaller chunks, then we can do things once thought impossible. Like the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, we can create our own miracles. #entrepreneur #worklifebalance #successhabits #goals #successhacks #gratitude #mindfulness #business #success #entrepreneurslife #entrepreneurialmindset #entrepreneurtips #entrepreneurmind #entrepreneurmotivation #optyoumize #brettingram #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #digitalmarketer #entrepreneurpodcast optyoumize.com optyoumize Learn more about your ad choices.

When we understand how transformative a mastermind group can be and embrace it, we can become happier, more fulfilled, and more successful too. #entrepreneur #worklifebalance #mastermind #mastermindgroup #growsales #gratitude #mindfulness #business #success #entrepreneurslife #entrepreneurialmindset #entrepreneurtips #entrepreneurmind #entrepreneurmotivation #optyoumize #brettingram #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #digitalmarketer #entrepreneurpodcast optyoumize.com optyoumize Learn more about your ad choices.

to watch this episode, subscribe to my YouTube channel: optYOUmize podcast Youtube Having our products and services available around the clock 365 days a year has some logical appeal and expands our potential for sales. But the reality is, demand for products, the prices people will pay, and the lengths they will go to all skyrocket when there is scarcity or FOMO--fear of missing out--as they say. We need to find ways to inject scarcity into our offers--limited time, limited number, or some special benefit that is only available for a limited time. When we do that, we can increase demand for our products and services and actually make more sales by offering less. #entrepreneur #worklifebalance #scarcity #FOMO #productivity #business #success #entrepreneurslife #entrepreneurialmindset #entrepreneurtips #entrepreneurmind #entrepreneurmotivation #optyoumize #brettingram #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #digitalmarketer #entrepreneurpodcast optyoumize.com optyoumize Learn more about your ad choices.

People hate to be sold but they love to buy. When we help them feel one or more of the eight motivations, we will get more buyers without needing more advertising or promotion. #entrepreneur #worklifebalance #efficiency #throughput #growsales #productivity #business #success #entrepreneurslife #entrepreneurialmindset #entrepreneurtips #entrepreneurmind #entrepreneurmotivation #optyoumize #brettingram #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #digitalmarketer #entrepreneurpodcast optyoumize.com optyoumize Learn more about your ad choices.

When we are true to who we are, everything comes more naturally because it's real, and that in turn brings us greater peace, happiness, and success. #entrepreneur #worklifebalance #authenticity #AI #artificialintelligence #growsales #productivity #business #success #entrepreneurslife #entrepreneurialmindset #entrepreneurtips #entrepreneurmind #entrepreneurmotivation #optyoumize #brettingram #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #digitalmarketer #entrepreneurpodcast optyoumize.com optyoumize Learn more about your ad choices.

to watch this episode, subscribe to my YouTube channel: optYOUmize podcast Youtube In digital marketing it's easy to collect a lot of digital stuff because the footprint is small and stored easily. Often times we end up with more stuff than we can ever optimize or see through to completion, so it may make sense to flip our websites. We turn an unused digital asset into cash, and the buyer gets a premade website ready to grow and optimize so it's a real win-win. Even if we don't have websites ready to flip right now, it's still great to know there is a profitable exit strategy when we do. #entrepreneur #worklifebalance #flipping #perseverance #growsales #productivity #business #success #entrepreneurslife #entrepreneurialmindset #entrepreneurtips #entrepreneurmind #entrepreneurmotivation #optyoumize #brettingram #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #digitalmarketer Learn more about your ad choices.

As much as we don't like them, paradoxically they present a tremendous opportunity to grow and evolve. Because in times of adversity we are forced to make decisions, take action, and change the way we think to solve problems. So instead of fighting against having adversity which is inevitable, if we embrace it and work through it we can come out stronger, tougher, and more successful. #entrepreneur #worklifebalance #adversity #perseverance #growsales #productivity #business #success #entrepreneurslife #entrepreneurialmindset #entrepreneurtips #entrepreneurmind #entrepreneurmotivation #optyoumize #brettingram #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #digitalmarketer Learn more about your ad choices.

to watch this episode, subscribe to my YouTube channel: optYOUmize podcast Youtube Relationships are a vital part of life. Most of us have had or have relationships we aren't happy with, but it can be hard to know how to fix them because we don't want to cut people out of our lives. By using reciprocity, while it's no silver bullet to solve every problem, it helps us feel balanced in our relationships so we can feel good about ourselves and people in our lives. It also helps us recognize the people we can really count on and that we should go above and beyond to help when they are in need too. Happy, healthy, balanced relationships are a fundamental key to a successful and fulfilling life, and the law of reciprocity can help us to achieve that. #entrepreneur #worklifebalance #relationships #lawofreciprocity #growsales #productivity #business #success #entrepreneurslife #entrepreneurialmindset #entrepreneurtips #entrepreneurmind #entrepreneurmotivation #optyoumize #brettingram #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #digitalmarketer Learn more about your ad choices.

to watch this episode, subscribe to my YouTube channel: optYOUmize podcast Youtube Whether we choose to build a personal brand or a business brand, we should all be doing one or other and should make it a top priority. As the online world becomes more and more competitive and it gets increasingly harder to get attention and keep it, our personal brand or business brand is how we stand out in the crowd. It's how we differentiate ourselves and connect and resonate with our prospects and customers. And ultimately, our ability to build our personal or business brand may be the difference between long term success and failure. #entrepreneur #worklifebalance #personalbrand #branding #growsales #productivity #business #success #entrepreneurslife #entrepreneurialmindset #entrepreneurtips #entrepreneurmind #entrepreneurmotivation #optyoumize #brettingram #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #digitalmarketer Learn more about your ad choices.

to watch this episode, subscribe to my YouTube channel: optYOUmize podcast Youtube We all have intangible assets in our businesses that we take for granted. It just takes a bit of thinking and creativity to uncover them. These assets would be very valuable to other businesses, so if we license the use of them we can create extra profit with little effort or expense, and we can license each asset to multiple businesses on a recurring fee basis so we can maximize our own business profitability. #entrepreneur #worklifebalance #businessprofits #growsales #productivity #business #success #entrepreneurslife #entrepreneurialmindset #entrepreneurtips #entrepreneurmind #entrepreneurmotivation #optyoumize #brettingram #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #digitalmarketer Learn more about your ad choices.

to watch this episode, subscribe to my YouTube channel: optYOUmize podcast Youtube Our websites are our 24x7 online salespeople, so we want to make sure they are working at their best to deliver maximum traffic, leads, and sales. While on page content and visual appeal are important, they are not enough to guarantee results. People won't wait for our sites to load no matter how good the are, so we need to optimize for page loading speed. And most people now use mobile devices to access online content, so we also need to make sure our sites are mobile responsive. If we optimize our websites for those two factors we can be confident they will deliver results. #entrepreneur #worklifebalance #websitemarketing #growsales #productivity #business #success #entrepreneurslife #entrepreneurialmindset #entrepreneurtips #entrepreneurmind #entrepreneurmotivation #optyoumize #brettingram #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #digitalmarketer Learn more about your ad choices.
