Author and entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has built his career around simplifying complex business concepts for other entrepreneurs, so in this episode he rounds up the best practices to help free us up so that we can focus on designing our business. Oftentimes, businesses are likened to babies that entrepreneurs give life to and nurture. However, to create a business that really thrives on its own, we need to begin viewing our business as a conjoined twin that must be slowly and surgically separated from us.

No doubt, this process of separation can be a lengthy one, so to get us started, Mike maps out a few simple steps to help us identify the Queen Bee Role in our business and how to protect that through proper task management and delegation. Taking time to evaluate our business and to create effective systems is no easy task, but when we dedicate ourselves to streamlining how our businesses are run then we can live the lives that we truly desire and open up ourselves to serving our community better.

Most of our lives and choices are the products of our habits, and the habits that we have grown up around. These things that we are accustomed to doing and thinking are the programs that determine how our lives are run. What do you do when you have what Adam calls bad or outdated programming?

In this episode, Adam goes over the process of reprogramming your neural pathways and gaining the ability to consciously choose good powerful habits. He also pulls the curtain back on the inner workings of the “habit voice” and gives tips on how to keep it from disempowering you as you begin to build new habits and pave the new norm in your life.

In this episode, Adam joins forces with his soul sister Tiffany Lee Bymaster aka Coach Glitter to deconstruct the enormous task of doing live videos. While video production can be a very technical discussion, Adam and Tiffany get to the heart of what we need to know to show up as our most powerful self when the camera starts rolling.

In today’s media landscape, doing video is incredibly beneficial when building a business. However, being on camera and in front of an audience will always come with a level of uneasiness. To get past this, it is key that you get your mindset right and clarify your intentions. For Tiffany, getting nervous energy out involves turning fear into excitement and focusing on service.

Fear can be incredibly creative in keeping us from growing and from enjoying the benefits of live videos. This is why it’s important to start simple and small, to focus on generating valuable content, and to develop consistency.

Fear and anxiety are probably two of the most powerful words in the dictionary. Not only because of their definition but more so because of the impact that they have–what they do to people, what they do to our thoughts, our emotions and even our actions.

Fortunately, though, these are just words and there are far bigger words in the dictionary that we can utilize to help us move forward to a place where we can ,not necessarily defeat, but understand the fear and anxiety that is crippling our lives, and then how to deal with it.

So in this episode, Adam has solicited the help of registered therapist and coach, Julia Kristina, to help us uncover the secret and the science behind fear and anxiety, and how to rewire our brain and relearn our thinking so we can succeed in living out our lives with courage and confidence. 

Where were you and what were you doing at the age of 12? You were probably just getting by at school and at home and never really had an idea of where you were going and what you wanted to be. But it’s not the same for Zach Spuckler. At the early age of 12, Zach has already been actively finding ways to making money off of the internet–something that many of us could never have done.

In this episode, Zach joins Adam and relays stories of his early entrepreneurial struggles – his fears and frustrations and how he overcame them, and even at one point – having a breakdown at a Starbucks bathroom, but then how he came out from that.

Zach also shares with us his expertise on the “Speed of Implementation”–what that means for you as an entrepreneur on your journey to accomplishing your goals and how easy it is to achieve once you just let go and do what you can and delegate when you can so you can move forward with your goals. 

How do you rise from a place of disempowerment when so many things are trying to pull you away from your true purpose in life. How do you overcome when so many hurts and disappointments aim to keep you in bondage and hinder you from fulfilling your mission?

When things don’t go exactly the way you envision them to or when it seems impossible to achieve what you set for yourself to do, It’s easy to become disempowered. It’s easy to feel hopeless and lost and to lose that fire and power in our lives. In fact, some people even lose the will to recover and just accept defeat. But small changes in our habits, little actions, and achievable mindset shifts are a good place to start.

This is where Adam takes us in today’s episode. He talks about how you can make the change from disempowerment to empowerment and how you can also proactively step into a place of power your life the way he did. He also challenges you to step into that feeling and mindset of strength, and not being ashamed about it, but owning it in a way that drives you to move forward–surely and confidently.
