The Chris Harder Show

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Worrying about spending your money How money is infinite Doing what you love Resources: Text "DAILY" to 310-421-0416 to receive a daily money mantra for free Show Notes: We advocate for doing what you love, working hard, and being rewarded for it. And today, we're going to talk about that last part: the reward. Too often we get focused on the work – the hustle, that we forget what we're working for – and, not only that, but we forget to indulge in that reward. You have to remember that time is short, but money is infinite. You can always make more money, but you can't get your time back.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Why speeding up the sales process won't work Building a nurturing sequence Creating a manual exchange Resources: Join our Fastermind by texting the word "FASTER" to 310-421-0416 Show Notes: Let's talk about something that's going to help you make more sales. If you own (or aspire to own) a business, if you want to make more money, if you sell anything (and even if you have a job), this advice is for you. The number one problem we're seeing people run into in their business is missed launch goals, missed sales goals, or just a complete lack of sales altogether. When we dissect each of these scenarios with our coaching clients, what we're seeing is this: people are rushing the process. They don't spend time developing relationships with their audience. There are two ways you can nurture your audience and slow down your process to turn each "no" into a "yes". Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Doing things you don't want to The compounding effect of small things How compound interest works Resources: Text "DAILY" to 310-421-0416 to receive a daily money mantra for free Show Notes: A few small things, when done consistently, can build up into massive results. When you start your day off by accomplishing one small goal that you weren't planning on doing, it compounds into feeling better and performing better for the rest of the day, which starts tomorrow off better, which leads to a better week, and so on. It is no different from the effects of compounding interest. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The problem with high expectations Being OK with doing less The law of diminishing returns Resources: Text "DAILY" to 310-421-0416 to receive a daily money mantra for free Show Notes: I have high expectations of myself. I expect to be full of energy all the time, to be happy by default, and dreaming big every day. And, honestly, most of the time I meet those expectations, but the problem with having such high expectations is that we can't meet them every single day – it's literally not possible. And when we don't, we beat ourselves up. How do we reconcile trying to be at our best all the time while giving ourselves valid permission to run on different wavelengths when needed? In this episode, I discuss the delicate balance. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Defining success The four riches that contribute to success Mathematically measuring success Resources: Text "DAILY" to 310-421-0416 to get a positive message around money or business every morning. Show Notes: How do you measure success? First, let's acknowledge something important: there is a massive difference between being rich and being successful. "Successful" is a very subjective and polarizing term. To some people, being healthy and happy and having a loving family is the definition of success. But someone else might disagree. That may not be enough – or even a part of – success to them. The word means something different to everyone, but regardless of how you define it, success is one thing we all want. To know the difference between wealthy and successful, it's important to understand the four riches. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

It can be frustrating and boring, but it is absolutely essential to your bottom line. You can't have a long-term, successful business without some monotony, so embrace it.

Charging what you're worth doesn't always mean raising your prices. In fact, doing that risks pricing yourself out of reach from your own audience. There's a better way to do it and I'm going to show you how. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

One thing that comes up again and again is when people believe they have a great product and that their branding is on point – even that their potential customers tell them they want it – but when it comes to the actual point of sale, they hear crickets. If this sounds like you, it will all be because of one thing you're not doing well enough: giving your customers a clear command!

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The harmful misinformation around money Why you're doing better than you think The myth of the millionaire The myth of the exit The myth of the launch The myth of the big spender Resources: Text "FASTER" to 310-421-0416 to join my new "Fastermind" Show Notes: Never before has there been more misinformation or more people — intentionally or unintentionally — misleading others on what is or is not a lot of money, and how well they've done. These disingenuous lifestyles are causing serious damage to people's mental health. I want to put an end to these money myths out there. One of the areas I see this misleading information the most is in the coaching world. People want to sell you on a program that's going to increase your success. The fact is, you're probably far more successful than these people would have you believe. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The best thing money can buy Making choices Having financial ability The importance of availability Resources: Text "FASTER" to 310-421-0416 to join my new "Fastermind" Show Notes: Once in a while, we all need a reminder of why we're working so hard, why we're dreaming so big, and why there's no reason to be ashamed of wanting more money.

As I continue my cross country roadtrip in my RV, I find myself looking at other buses and wanting to upgrade. For context, my current bus is very nice. I love it. And there's a little guilt around wanting more than that when what I already have is great. Is it out of hand to always want the grass to be greener in every area of life? Or is this drive to constantly top ourselves an important and healthy part of being a person? Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.
