Anyone can use it. The growth of Chat GPT has been incredibly fast. It's been faster than anything we've ever seen before. Talk about disruptive!

"If I didn't have that mental image of myself… 'You're strong, look what you overcame.' That mindset… I just understand what a journey takes. And sometimes it takes doing really hard things to get what you want." Resolving extreme trauma. It's a heavy topic, I know, but believe me when I say that with the right attitude, it's possible to overcome even the most challenging experiences. In business, trust is paramount. Whether it's with clients, partners, or colleagues, trust forms the foundation of strong relationships. Without it, everything else falls apart. One nugget of wisdom to share is the power of emulation. You know, approaching leaders and saying, "I want to be just like you. So I'm going to do everything that you do so I can glean the good stuff." It's all about learning from those who inspire us and adopting their positive qualities and habits. It's not just about lifting weights or running miles; when you strengthen yourself physically, you automatically strengthen yourself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It's a holistic approach to personal development. This is more than just a workout regimen; it's a mindset. It's about pushing yourself beyond your limits and realizing your full potential. Expert action steps: What you're doing in the right direction, keep doing it. Consistency trumps intensity. Focus on progress. Whatever it is, don't look at where you've come from and focus on the positives. Progress can be measured in a multitude of ways. Be honest. If you can't be honest with yourself you'll never achieve your goals. So, if you're ready to level up in life, reach out to Coach Debra Basch into her DMs on Instagram (@coach_debra_basch).

Non-organic marketing, like paid traffic, launcheds and blogging, aren't working like they used to. Both because of viewer trends and increased marketing prices. So for many, it doesn't make sense financially. But organic marketing IS working now. Methods like warm markets, active referrals, and podcasting/podcast guesting are working. We know these are tough times for many. People are scared and they don't trust as easily as they used to. They need to hear your voice and hear your concern before they'll believe you can solve their problem.

"We're not investing in technology. We're investing in human beings that are building a business." When considering investment opportunities, it's not just about the idea or the market size. It's all about the person behind the venture. And guess what? Experience and resilience are the name of the game. Imagine a landscape shaped by the aftermath of the dot-com crash, where the very future of entrepreneurship hung in the balance. It was during these hard times that our guest, John Ruffolo went on a journey, driven by a passion for funding innovation and nurturing the seeds of entrepreneurship. With the guidance of luminaries like Anthony Shoapotti and Rick Hansen, the man in motion, John became a founding partner of not one, but two major capital funds, charting a course toward a brighter future for Canadian innovation. He didn't just witness challenges, he saw opportunities amidst the chaos. He recognized that entrepreneurs are like farmers, planting seeds of innovation in the fertile soil of the market. But just like crops need water and sunlight to thrive, entrepreneurs need capital to fuel their growth. Uncover the unique challenges facing Canadian innovation and the quest to bridge the gap between talent, capital, and markets. Through insightful anecdotes and practical wisdom, we discover the essence of the entrepreneurial mindset: a genuine desire to solve real problems for real people. We learn about the importance of having a clear vision, a differentiated solution, and the resilience to weather the storm. But perhaps the most valuable lesson is understanding what truly drives success. It's not just about chasing wealth; it's about finding purpose in making a meaningful impact on the world. And for those brave souls venturing into the world of entrepreneurship, there are key criteria to consider: a deep understanding of the problem, a compelling solution, and the ability to execute with precision.

Before Covid and certain political changes, the business world was relatively normal with buyer confidence where it needed to be for businesses to thrive.

On March 23 - 25, 2024, there's a virtual event that will dive deep into what these new times look like, how it got here and most importantly, how you can achieve greatness using new techniques that appeal to the hearts and minds of people in a post Covid world.

"Say no more than you say yes. Embrace discomfort. Surround yourself with people that challenge you." "When you give people the belief that they can achieve more, they achieve their goals, and that they are more than capable… It's so empowering. That's why we get the results that we do….We are a community of very successful people that believe in each other." Jase Stevens isn't just any old fitness guru. He's one of the Founders of Man The F Up, and a firmly committed member of the Amer fitness family, along with his awesome sister, Lindsay Martins, of lady the F up. But let's get down to the basics of why Jase does what he does. He's all about not being comfortable and complacent. He knows that's not where growth happens. He's always pushing himself and others to be relentless, to strive for more. He believes that self-awareness isn't always a walk in the park. Sometimes, it's downright painful. But hey, on the other side of that pain? Clarity and profound transformation. Jase understands that life's traumas and challenges can really push you to grow. And he knows the importance of having father figures and mentors along the way. That's probably why he's been coaching people in weight training since 2014, and why he joined Amer in 2018. Man The F Up isn't just about weight training and muscle. It's about getting back to the traditional man. Responsibility. Being a good person at heart. Man the F up gives men a community where they can develop themselves on a higher level. Because people are craving that kind of connection and growth. But here's the real kicker: Jase is all about building himself up so he can be a positive example for boys and men everywhere. Because he knows that people need someone who believes in them. And that's why he puts being of service first. Expert action steps: Say no more than you say yes. Embrace discomfort. Surround yourself with people that challenge you.

"Tell them to stop trying to close. Instead, start serving people to their dreams. Start enrolling people in their dream. Having that conversation feels good for good people." Pivoting during hard or changing times is crucial in business. Covid times were disruptive but many people found opportunities in the chaos. Podcasting was surging at the time (and continues to surge), creating massive opportunity for coaches, consultants, and businesses of all sorts to get their message out there, and ultimately to serve people. But it takes the right strategy and the right heart. Throwing content at the internet… well you get back whatever you put into it. So strategy and heart are everything. Marc and Nicky bring us a deeper dive into the story of how Nicky became so successful in the world of podcast guesting. They dialled in the strategy and Nicky made the commitment to see it through but what allowed their strategy to be fully implemented and get results so quickly was a service called Podmatch. Their algorithms have created a huge community of podcasters that allowed Nicky's message to reach millions of listeners. And because of the nature of podcasting, that message is still out there on repeat for the massively growing community of podcast listeners to find. Some of the podcasting principles you'll find here include intention, ethics, messaging, timing, strategy, consistency, and of course, being of service.

"We have a vision for this country, we are not scared, and we are speaking with passion and conviction about what we believe." "Believe in yourself. Don't wait for the government to save you. Stand up and speak out for what you believe." "Take your place in the world. Take your place in Canada and fight for what you believe in." Maxime Bernier is one of the most important figures in Canada and the world when it comes to freedom. He's the leader and founder of the People's Party of Canada. He spent nineteen years in the Montreal, Canada, financial sector as VP of an insurance corporation and a bank. In 2006, he encouraged Stephen Harper to work toward a smaller government that would lower taxes and respect the constitution. Stephen then asked him to run as a candidate and he eventually became foreign minister. Over time, as Canada started moving toward a socialist era, he found that the conservative party became morally and intellectually corrupt. This was the beginning of the People's Party of Canada, founded on the principles of individual freedom, personal responsibility, fairness and respect. Maxime was the only national leader speaking out against the covid hysteria. His opinion wasn't popular but he stood his ground for the sake of truth. He's also not scared to raise concerns around mass immigration, radical gender ideology, and supporting the war in Ukraine. Maxime believes in the future of Canada. "That's why I'm in politics." When you have a big government, you have less freedom and the PPC intends to change that. But he believes everybody needs to get involved for the change to manifest as quickly as possible. "We believe in people. We have faith in people. We believe that Canadians have the opportunity, the dignity, and the right to make their own decisions." It's a matter of cause and effect. What you put into the world is what you get out of it, so if you want to see change, get engaged and help make it happen. Expert action steps: Believe in yourself. Don't wait for the government to save you. Stand up and speak out for what you believe. Before voting, take 10 minutes to look at the platform of every political party. Take your place in the world. Take your place in Canada and fight for what you believe in. You can always count on the PPC. https://www.peoplespartyofcanada.ca/about Visit eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

"The leaders of tomorrow will be the most aligned, congruent, and willing to serve their fellow man. They must truly care." The old-school sales tactics that use pressure and posturing don't cut it anymore. The noise coming at us from every direction is always growing louder, and when it comes to sales, buyers have seen it all and are programmed to be skeptical. The sales process is cold, giving them nothing to hold on to so they demand certainty. That's why it's time for a shift towards heart-driven selling. They demand certainty but what they need is authenticity. Real relationships with people who genuinely care about solving their problems. People who would walk away if they realized they don't have the solution the buyer needs. These are genuine, grown-up conversations built around truth and integrity. That's what a heart-driven selling is all about. It's about understanding your clients' needs and working together to find the best solutions. The program "Get Booked & Get Paid", incorporates heart-driven sales into its methodology for podcast guesting. Countless business owners have achieved lower refund rates and higher referral rates, proving that this really is the sales methodology of the future. If you're ready to take your business to the next level, it's time to embrace heart-driven selling. It's not just about making sales; it's about building meaningful relationships and creating lasting impact.

"Your title does not give you the excuse to not connect with your employees." There's a direct connection between your business success and how you lead and connect with your employees. It's a people first approach, which of course also applies to clients, but when staff eagerly follow a heart driven leader, your clients are sure to feel it. Heart leadership starts with looking inside at your own behaviors and patterns to consider if there's a better way. Take that one step further and make those who you lead feel seen, heard, and valued, and you've created an environment where people want to follow you as much as you want to lead them. Traycee Mayer is calling out people who call themselves leaders but who don't really play the part. She has an inherent interest in other human beings and bringing their talents to the surface. With 43 years of heart leadership experience in full service hotels and convention centers, she knows this is what the world needs. She's now an executive coach, author, and speaker. Her book, The Leadership Contradiction, is leveling up leadership and business. Learn more about Traycee Mayer at https://beyouleadership.com.

There are pros and cons to both promotion based marketing and attraction based marketing. But neither can be cast down as less effective than the other because the approach for both is as different as the ways that they bring clients to your door. They're at opposite ends of the spectrum and that's what makes the combination of both so powerful. On one hand, you're taking immediate action, every day. And that gets measurable results. On the other, you're sitting back, working on your heart and mind and opening energetic doors for clients to walk through. Results can't really be measured but you'll know when it's working. Entrepreneurs will naturally be drawn to one method more than the other but we're here to tell you that you'll open the widest door for clients to come in when you learn to master both promotional marketing and attraction marketing.

"Everyone's always trying to please people and be loved by everyone, but you're not meant to be loved or even liked by everyone. And you have to be okay with that." Our businesses are about improving people's lives and society overall. This is the ultimate goal and when done with authenticity and integrity, you will succeed and you will be compensated. Many of us come to entrepreneurship because our own life experience turns us into experts in some way. Often, it's our own journey of overcoming challenging situations that does it with the outcome being that we not only learn powerful lessons, but we also feel inspired to offer them to the world, knowing full well that they're needed. Rima Kamra suffered from depression for many years, always pushing forward and making progress in life but never escaping self doubt and the fear that her daughter would suffer the same fate. Until her life journey brought her to the gym where she found a powerful measure of control over her life and a way to manifest change in her body and mind that translated into the rest of her life. She became an expert in this kind of transformation and was given the opportunity to coach others to do the same. She now has a team and they've helped over 2000 women 'Lady The F Up'. Rima is the sister and business partner of a recent TTLR guest, founder of Amer Fitness, Amer 'The Hammer' Kamra. In 2011, Amer was the youngest pro fitness model in the history of professional bodybuilding. Rima believes in authenticity in business and won't try to sell potential clients unless they're prepared to fully commit themselves to the program. She specialises in helping women create the bodies and the lives that they want, in a sustainable way. IG https://www.instagram.com/ladythefup/ LadyTheFUp.com [email protected] Expert action steps: No matter what you come from, work hard to create what you want. Be authentic.

"Once it's dialed in… Once you've found your ideal market and your ideal messaging, you can get ongoing prospect calls, nonstop." Paid traffic marketing gets your ads on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, among others. And if your methods are fine tuned, then you're getting in front of your ideal prospects. It's effective but it's not for everyone. Especially if you don't already have the money to invest. It's more of a strategy for seasoned businesses to grow than it is a strategy for starting a business. But there are several forms of organic marketing that are cheap, if not free, and still very effective. And the ROI is high since there's no ad spend involved. Podcast guesting is a prime example. It's a relatively new strategy and though many people talk about it, it seems not many understand what it takes to get results. Knowing your ideal client and dialing in your messaging are a necessary start, but you also need to understand the trends in the world and what people are responding to. What worked only a few years ago isn't working today. All strategy aside, the most important thing is having integrity in sales. You need to have your heart in the right place. You need to be heart driven, authentic, and real.

"When one door closes another one soon opens." "Where two or more are gathered in my name, I am amongst them." - Matthew 18:20 "It's a noble cause to build a great company.

"If God put someone in my life; you, my wife, my kid, my neighbor, a client, a friend, I'm going to give them my all." "If they double and triple down on every third day with those already in their life, they'll have more business and more relationships than they know what to do with." I just value relationships on such a high and deep level. I have stress, I have storms like the next person, but I don't stay wet. I don't stay down because I know where I came from, I know where I'm going and so I'm just grateful to have the breath in my lungs. The relationship between earning money and serving people is probably the greatest secret in business. Heavy emphasis on serving people. It's such a powerful and yet simple principle that countless successful people have learned and teach. These are people who lead fulfilling lives inside and outside their businesses. What needs to accompany this principle is the right mindset. One that gets your self out of the way including any limiting beliefs or events from the past that interfere or block you from moving forward and opening your heart to the world. Ultimately, this is about building deep, meaningful relationships with people. David Hoffman is a speaker, author, retired economist and the CEO of David Hoffman Realty. He turned painful experiences from his childhood into gratitude for life and a passion for helping others through his presence and love. He encourages people to 'give your all' to the people closest to you. Because society too often puts boundaries to success in our minds, the success you'll find by giving your all to your relationships will let you transcend those boundaries and will turn into abundance in your life, your marriage, and in your business. David's book, Relationships over Rules: 7 Principles to Lead Gracefully and Love Generously was written to help people transcend limiting beliefs by becoming the heart-leaders of their own lives.

"When you're in a community, where we all hold each other, and we are witness to each other's greatness, we see you before you can see it yourself. We catch a blind spot, we're there for it." We all have limitless greatness in us but in this world, it can be hard to believe. It's easy to chalk it up to luck, and assume that some people just have more than the rest of us. Even if luck is part of the equation, what more and more people are discovering is that regardless of circumstances, our beliefs, our habitual reactions, and the history that we think defines us are what create our outcomes. The trick is believing in and taking action toward a good life, rather than assuming we're destined for anything less. One of the most potent actions you can take toward achieving your version of greatness is to surround yourself with a group of like-minded people, equally committed to achieving or sustaining greatness. Not just for themselves but for the whole community. Egregory is the word to describe what happens to a person's whole being when surrounded by a group. In simple terms, you are the average of the 5 closest people to you. Human connection runs deep. We can see it superficially in our behavior by how we start to act like the people we spend the most time with. But there's also a change below the surface that can be measured in the way our hearts beat and how our energy shifts. Overtime this shows up in our physical and mental health. These are principles and patterns of physics that have been proven throughout nature and the determine the outcomes we get in life whether we acknowledge them or not. Just like water flows into water, our lives will naturally flow into whatever we align ourselves with on a deeper level. Jessie Torres believes the only limitations in a persons life are their beliefs. Her own journey through terrible loss and suffering gave her the opportunity to discover her ability to choose to see the beauty and opportunity in every moment, regardless of circumstances. As a result, her faith grew strong because she realized that everything in life has a divine source. With all of this and more in mind, Jessie is teaming up with Marc Von Musser to bring us 111 Days To Greatness.

"A boy and a girl with a healthy mind and a healthy body will always know that they have a future." "The key element for an athlete and an individual that's aspiring to become anything, is they have to get very well connected with their heart. They have to become very authentic to themselves." Knowledge handed down over generations is grounded in traditional principles that stood the test of time. Often because of the elegance that comes with simpler times, when the average person's mind was less complicated. For athletes and entrepreneurs alike, being laser focused on your goals and the results needed is a process of simplifying the mind to get out of our own way. To do this, we need to surround ourselves with the right influences and supports. Anything else becomes a distraction.

"I want to give everyone permission to stand for what they know is right because you will be surprised when you step out that door who you'll meet, how that will build, and what type of strong foundation that will come with." Inspired by 'those in the fight', Siaka Massaquoi found that powerful role models can ignite fires in us, giving us the clarity and courage to make life-changing decisions. During a debate in the 2016 US election campaign, Donald Trump's answer to the question of how US healthcare should be delivered to the people; through 'free market principles', Siaka was shocked at this real-world solution that was so easily expressed by a political figure. These words gave Siaka 'permission' to start on his own entrepreneurial path. Siaka is a man of faith who believes in freedom and free expression and he's built his brand on these principles. As an actor living in LA at a time when these principles were increasingly under attack, Siaka found he had to choose between what he believes in right vs his career.

It's necessary to think BIG for many reasons. The least of which being that some of the world's people and governments are trying to take away freedom and destroy capitalism. Thinking big means knowing that you're bigger than your demons, believing in your dreams more than your fears, and knowing that freedom is part of the divine plan which will always be bigger than the evil that tries to take it away. Today we think bigger than the communist/socialist agenda. As a concept, we're bringing together technology, knowledge, freedom and free enterprise by harnessing some of the world's most valuable intellectual property as a subscription service that would very likely create millions of billionaires.

"We went from the art of medicine to the business practice of disease management." Many things need to change in this world but seemingly large groups of emotionally charged people seem to think the answer is a complete abandonment of traditional lifestyles. When it comes to food and health, like everything else it gets complicated. Social issues, corrupt business practices and politics have distorted reality, leaving people confused and fighting amongst themselves over misconceptions and falsehoods. Under pressure from mental health issues, obesity, and others, people who've lost hope go to extremes and advocate for a dramatic shift in ideology. They aren't able to see the simple solutions inherent in nature and reflected in traditions. Basic traditions remain regardless of how complicated society becomes. Today's guest believes eating meat is important to humanity and he doesn't tolerate government mandates that take away people's freedom to eat what they want and what he feels they should.

"It's a universal human experience. We're all on this journey of identity. It doesn't stop. It's not like you get to a certain place in your life and you go, 'that's it I'm done, I know exactly who I am, where I'm going and what I'm doing'." "We have more in common than we have differences." We all experience a degree of separation from others in our lives. We can be in the same room yet feel worlds apart. Politics and especially our own notions of ourselves and others can complicate the innate connection and familiarity to other human beings. This is fine as a starting point but today's guest, Michael Fosberg, wants the world to know that great change is possible with a broader point of view. He reminds us that our lives are ever changing and that we'll never really fully arrive at coming to know ourselves and those around us and curiosity rather than judgement lends itself better to the journey.

They're scared, hoping for a sign that you can help. The difference between a "no" and a potential "yes" is small, and with some adjustments, you can turn that "no" into a "yes." People often say "no" due to fear, driven by an inner super villain that aims to keep them safe. Your job is to help them recognize the superhero within, ready to claim their dreams. Focus on their aspirations, not their insecurities. Remember, those in front of you want to say "yes" to their dreams, and it's your duty to help them achieve that. Be a dream enabler, a champion for their dreams, and take their journey from despair to victory. Visit eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.
