What's up guys?!

Our social media tools startup guide has dropped and we couldn't be more excited. No, this is not some get rich quick guide we are trying to sell but rather a FREE guide on dominating your niche in social media. Straight information from what we have learned, NO B.S.. We are just out here trying to help you all get started on social media as it is one of the most powerful marketing mediums.

Our guide is the knowledge we have learned thus far, the lessons we have learned and you can learn from in order to save time and money, as well as the tools that we use daily to manage and run our social media platforms. These are the tools that many pages keep secret because they don't want the younger entrepreneurs to know, but now we are bringing them to you :)
Download Your Guide
The rest of this short blog post is going to be on what problems that this guide solves, which is the most important thing as it shows the value it will be to you. 

So here they are...

How To Start Your Business

Ok, this guide is not going to solve every problem with starting your business, but it will for sure solve the problem on starting your business on social media platforms that will help you grow. 

Even if your business is not ready to go live yet or it is still a work in progress, you can use social media to build hype and have a more successful launch as you will reach more people right when you launch.

When you start to build a following and audience that cares about what you are doing it builds curiosity for what you are doing and you start to build those relationships even before you business is up and running. Then, once you actually do launch, you will already have a following and they have the potential to be your first customers because you have already formed a level of trust.

The tools in our startup guide can help you pick the platforms and then start executing and creating content even if your main business is not fully up and running yet. Build that hype and start early on the journey to success.

How To Create Amazing Social Media Content

The number one problem many new accounts on social media, in business accounts especially, are around the topic of creating new and amazing content. They might know how to create content but not how to actually make it look good, or they might not be able to do either.

The guide we have created outlines the best tools and apps that we use to create content on our Instagram and other social media platforms as well as the tools we use to edit because its not just about the content but how good it looks and how well it attracts people to learn more about your business.

​These tools and apps make it easier to learn how to edit a good picture and create a tone that fits your page, as well as create content such as placing text over images in order to share your message. 

Don't be reposting others content, it won't help your business at all and you will be offering no value to your followers because they could just follow those other accounts if they want that image.

Finally, the most important part about creating your content is that is has to be unique to your business, whether that be pictures you take, behind the scenes pictures or just pictures of you for your page. This helps your followers put a brand to your page and builds their trust,

Don't be another one of those quote pages, solve a real problem, there are enough quote pages out there.

How To Automate & Manage Your Social Media Page

There is only so much time in a day so why not automate as much of your social media pages as you can, without ruining the brand image, and save yourself some time throughout the day?

Our guide helps you find the services that we and our clients use on a daily basis to automate most of our content on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc so that we have more time to focus on larger picture ideas...

These help you schedule your posts for the ideal times with the most activity on your platform and they will automatically post the image and caption you upload so you don't have to worry about it.

This is all platforms except Instagram, who's code doesn't allow for automatic posting, yet we even have a tool that does almost all of the work for you. This platform will open the Instagram app for you and go to the post where it inserts your caption and image into Instagram. All you have ti do is hit post.

These are the tools that help you automate your content but they don't automate your interactions and engagements. Those have to be personal to you as they are what helps to build the relationships.

Nobody wants to be having a conversation wit a computer...

Our Social Media Startup Guide... What Is It?

2/21/2017

0 Comments

 
Welcome back guys, big day today as we are making this post to share with you the first of countless guides on the top tools for different aspects of life we are creating. The first one is based around starting on social media, whether just a successful personal page, or brand page.

​We want to help you find the tools and knowledge to get started like we have on social media. This was a huge problem that we faced and wanted to help you guys with as well, which is the goal of these guides we are creating... to get the answers you are looking for without paying for other people's "courses" that they just reiterated what they found online.

These are straight value from what we have learned on our own journey to success!
Picture

What Is This First Guide All About?

This first guide we have created is all about the top tools we have used to get started, on social media, a well as some tips we have learned while starting that you can leverage and save yourself time and money!

No, these tools are not the B.S. get more followers or get more likes on your pictures automatically because that shit doesn't work. The tools like that just bring fake followers and fake likes to your account, meaning we are never able to create a relationship with them and they will never become customers because they are fake accounts.

The tools we are bringing to you are the resources to help you get off the ground and running, such as the best platforms for your niche, as well as tools to help you manage your posts and get the data you need to optimize and take control of your social media account. Because why waste time posting content that is not working when you can see what is working and leverage that in each and every post to see some consistent growth?

Along with these resources we added the tips that we wanted you to know about where we failed and found success during the beginning of our journey, so that you can skip what didn't work and start to implement what did work right away in your content!
Picture

What Will You Find In This Guide?

While creating this guide we focused on creating something unique from all the other information that you can find out there. We made this guide unique to our journey and what we have learned, not just what we see online and then make it into a book to get this information out to all of the aspiring entrepreneurs who are unsure how to start and grow on social media.

We focused on taking what tools we have found the most useful, not the B.S. get rich quick type tools on Social Media, but actually the tools that will make a difference in your social media journey.
​The tools we decided to include in this eBook were not just the platforms you should be leveraging but also the tools that help you create the top quality content you need to stand out and the tools to help you manage this content.

Some of our favorite tools that we included in this eBook were the tools that help schedule our social media posts so that we can schedule these posts and let them post on their own so we can focus on executing on bigger picture ideas. With these tools automatically posting for us we don't have to kill our flow and work to go post something real quick, at the right time, because these tools do it for you:)

Not only did we differentiate ourselves through this book through the top tools we and our clients use, we also added a BONUS SECTION at the end of the book on what we ave learned so far on our social media journey.

These tips were what we did right and failed at when starting on social media and you can leverage them to find our what works, what doesn't and save time on your own journey to success!
Picture

How This Guide Will Benefit You?

This is the no B.S. guide to getting that journey started on Social Media, whether that be on a personal page, a brand page or especially a business page!

We are not trying to up sell you at the end of this guide, it is just straight knowledge with almost every tool in this guide being FREE, it is pure value and no B.S.

Ever unsure on how to start that business or seeing others kill it on social media and you want to start building your own page yet have no idea how? This is exactly the guide for you. The problem we were trying to solve while writing this was creating a guide for the people who really want to achieve that dream life and expand their business or brand onto social media but just don't know how.

​This is also a great tool for anyone who is already on social media but not seeing the results and looking to go all in, in the social media game and find strategies that work.

In our social media startup guide, like mentioned earlier we focused on adding the top tools us and our clients us as well as giving insights on what we have learned on our journey, NOT some tips we just researched on the internet... these are the lessons we have learned from in our own journey and they are damn good:)

Thanks guys, let your friends know about our social
media startup guide and stay tuned for some massive
knowledge!

Some Helpful Tips On Growing Your Social Media Following (From What We Have Learned So Far)

2/20/2017

0 Comments

 
Hey guys, thought we would bring you a short blog post today on some of the best things we have learned while starting to grow our following on social media.

We decided to do this in order to give you all a sneak peak at our upcoming social media startup guide where we will share the top tools we are using in order to get you social media account up a running.

We know we don't have a huge following yet but we have a decent sized one and have learned a ton about what to do and what not to do in terms of growing a following and we would love to share these tips and more importantly the tools we have used to get started growing on social media!

**Plus this guide will be free so stay tuned and let your entrepreneurial friends know about us in order to start on the journey to success together... because if you are going to succeed and live the life of your dreams, why not do it with your friends and not solo?!**
Picture

Lesson #1: Offer Value or Nobody Cares

First off, the "oxygen" that keeps us alive on social media is attention because without the attention you have nobody who cares about what you are doing and in turn you wont generate the traffic to your website or products that you were hoping for...

The way to get that attention is to offer some sort of value to your followers whether that be through great content, products/ services that will help them solve their problems or whatever it may be.

The moment people start noticing you because you are solving their problem and offering them true value then they start paying attention to what else you re doing. I mean really who wants to follow just another account who is posting the same quotes over and over and selling their get rich quick on Instagram scams? Nobody..

Offer true value and start to stand out, that is how you will get the attention you are looking for and start to grow a trusting audience!
Picture

Lesson #2: Engage In Your Community & Make It Seem Like You Are Everywhere

Community engagement is hands down the most important aspect of our success on social media, other than offering value of course.

This is because when you engage one on one with people on social media it starts to build your relationship with them and they start learning more about what you do other than what you show in your posts.

This relationship you create is key because people buy from who they trust and when you start building a relationship you re in turn building up their trust in you.

Some of the best ways we engage on social media is both on all comments on our posts,
commenting on larger accounts posts within our niche (this is a great strategy to help find people with similar interests), liking/ engaging/ following similar accounts and finally engaging related hashtags using the search feature on platforms such as Instagram and Twitter.
Picture

Lesson #3: Create Relationships & Nurture Them

One of the most time consuming but rewarding aspects of growing and creating a powerful brand on social media is the relationships you create and friends you engage with, when done right.

The key is to make relationships with other accounts and start engaging with them and they can start engaging with you as well. Another great thing about creating trusting relationships is that they give you someone to bounce ideas off of or just talk business with when needed.

Some ways that we engage with other accounts and create these relationships is going through the relevant hashtags in your niche using the search feature and then direct messaging them to start up a conversation and offer them value. Then you ca use these relationships to do things like trade shout outs or create engagement groups, which are essentially a group of people in one DM group that put their posts in there and all other accounts engage with the accounts that post.

These shout out and engagement groups can help your growth a ton as you will be found by the followers of all the others accounts in your group as well but they can also take away from the valuable content you are posting on your page... and engagement groups can take away from time
throughout your day.

We learned this the hard way spending so much time engaging in groups and doing shout outs, not focusing on the bigger picture. Highly recommend you don't do this as it really slows down growth!
Picture

Lesson #4: Leverage The Power of the DM

The direct message is a crucial feature on platforms such as Instagram and Twitter as it helps us have private conversations with similar accounts, to nurture relationships and with potential clients to help them solve their specific problems and offer them value.

A great way that we use DM's is to find accounts with similar interests as you and ones that you feel like your product or service could help and DM them with a genuine (not automated) message and explain how you are liking their content and you feel like you could be of value to them in their future. DON'T SELL IN THE FIRST message, grow the relationship and keep offering value with nothing expected in return before the sell.. this will create powerful relationships.

It is super important that you don't use automated DM's and pretty much any automation tool to "grow followers" or "get more likes" most of those are scams and result in fake followers and fake likes, which do nothing to your brand because they will never engage or click through so that you can offer them value.
Picture

Lesson #5: The Search Feature

The search feature on platforms, especially those such as Instagram and Twitter are super
​powerful tools that not many people are leveraging at the moment.

The search feature helps us to search relevant hashtags to our account, search topics related to our account and even search people with similar interests. This is the way that we find accounts to engage with, DM with and create relationships with because they are the people that care about what we are doing and they are the ones who, if we run a business, we could offer the most value to and solve their problems!

Don't just call it good after uploading your content on a platform, start to engage using the search feature and excel your relationships and growth.

Thanks for reading guys have a powerful week and don't forget to let your entrepreneur friends know about our social media startup guide, coming up soon!

The Top Marketing Books For Entrepreneurs From Seth Godin

2/13/2017

0 Comments

 
You might know Seth Godin as he was featured in our last blog post about the theory behind permission marketing and how effective it is in the real world. 

Now we have brought Seth Godin back and thought we could share some of our favorite marketing books written by Seth Godn in order to help us get the attention we need while running a small business.

Seth Godin is one of the best modern day marketers that we have come across, right up there with Gary Vaynerchuk, and in turn he has written some of the most valuable marketing books, yet he is not as well know as some of the other marketers out there.

You will definitely know his name after these books though because the marketing books as some of the best around and help us take action, not just learn what works in theory.
Picture

Linchpin

The one book on here that will not be about marketing or business but rather a more important topic, self awareness and creating value in everything we do. It was too good to leave off of the list :)

Linchpin is Seth Godin's guide on how to become indispensable in our career, business and all aspects of our life.

​This book teaches us the most important part of our success in life, the value you bring to people. This is the one thing that people care about, if you don't bring this value then nobody will care.

Linchpin teaches us to offer massive value in everything we do, not just in our businesses. This is essential no matter if an entrepreneur or not because if you are working for someone, the more value you bring the more recognition you ill get and better opportunities will come your way.

Permission Marketing

Our most talked about book these past few weeks as we ave just finished it on the plane ride home from San Diego this past weekend!

This quickly became one of our favorite books we have read this year so far due to the message that it gave to us that so many other marketing books have not before. This message was how to gain the permission of your followers, customers, etc to sell to them before even offering a sale.

This book talks about bringing value first, a concept we need to all understand as it is the basis for our business because if we don't bring value we are never able to reach the customers we are looking for because they just won't care. 

We have to build their trust by offering value, then we can start to sell to them one we have nurtured that relationship. This is one of the most powerful ways to sell because it builds trust, and people buy from who they trust.

This is just touching on a few of the concepts covered in this book, we definitely recommend that you grab yourself a copy (here) and learn even more about how to incorporate permission marketing into your own business.

All Marketers Are Liars

So many businesses fail because they forget to, or don't now how to, tell their story to their customers. Or they even tell a story that their customers don't resonate with so they don't build as strong of a relationship.

All Marketers Are Liars, goes over the importance, as well as how to properly tell your story in a 
business so that customers can relate with it. So many people are doing it all wrong, so why not learn to tell your story correctly and stand out from the crowd?

The right story helps our customers relate to our businesses more as they see a face or a higher purpose behind just the products or services we are selling. This story helps them trust the business more and guess what? Like we said earlier, people buy from who they trust!

The story your business tells is more than important, it is required if we want to find any true success. So don't miss out on telling your story, start ASAP and start building that trust.

Purple Cow

This is the first book that we read from Seth Godin and it got us hooked on all of the books that this marketing genius wrote!

Purple Cow is all about how to get more attention to your business and help your marketing STAND OUT from the crowd. With so many people trying to push and sell their products online now, it is vital that we stand out if we want to gain any traction.

Purple Cow is focused on helping our marketing become "A Purple Cow" because nobody remembers a normal cow but when they see a purple cow, it gets talked about long after they see it for the first time.

This is exactly the goal of our marketing, to get it to be remembered and talked about long after they see the ad. Totally the opposite of what many people are saying about buying billboards, TV ads, banner ads, etc. They just get great exposure but they are never remembered long after someone sees them...

Purple Cow helps us figure out not only how to create content that stands out but also how to make people remember it. If we can't create content that stands out, then we will never be able to gain the attention we need to succeed. It i that simple guys!

The Dip

Even though this is last on the list, don't take it as unimportant because it might but one of the most important ones to understand (content wise) in this list.

This is not a marketing strategy guide like a few of the other ones, it won't help your marketing stand out but it will help you on a personal level...

The Dip is all about how to bounce back after falling, and bounce back 10x harder. There is no way to avoid the pitfalls as a business owner and/or entrepreneur becasue it is just part of the game. The important part is how we react to those setbacks, the average people will most likely quit... will you be the one to stand out and rise back up stronger than ever?

Everyday countless entrepreneurs are quitting after a setback because they didn't know how to bounce back correctly or effectively, yet that is exactly what The Dip teaches us.

It also shows us the importance of the comeback because no matter how far you have gone or how many times you have fallen, when you get back up 10x more effective than before, we are able to open up more opportunities than ever before.

You never know how close you are to your breakthrough.. never quit and learn to bounce back effectively so you can stay on the journey long enough to see the breakthrough and then thrive!

Hope you all enjoyed this, stay tuned for more and let us know what you think of each of these great books from Seth Godin!

Permission Marketing by: Seth Godin, One of The Best Business Marketing Books?

What is going on guys?!

If you follow us on Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter or Facebook you know that we are in California this week. If Not, We suggest you follow us on them :) @profitingtools is our handle on all social media!

On our flight over here from the Midwest, I read a book called Permission Marketing by Seth Godin and liked it enough that we thought we should share it with all of you! So Enjoy!!
Picture
Grab Your Copy Here>>

What Is Permission Marketing?

Permission marketing is not just any marketing book, it is one that focuses on what works in the long run in the marketing game, rather than just selling more product quicker. And it is our favorite book we have read this year!

The marketing game has changed, we can't just throw up some magazine, TV, radio ads and call it good as we watch the profits flow in.

Heck even online the game has changed with banner ads and pop up ads working less and less as we speak.

Want to know why these aren't working? Because they interrupt what we are doing and with so little time now a days, anything that interrupts us we don't even bother with anymore.

That means companies are wasting millions of dollars on ads that people aren't even seeing because they just close them or forget them when they see it.
Well what is working then? Customer relationships and permission marketing is working, that's what. And that is the focus of Seth Godin's book Permission Marketing!

​The new game of marketing focuses on putting ads in places that don't disrupt the day to day lives of those we are trying to attract, rather putting them in places such as social media that are incorporated into their lives already.

Why do we think brands pay so much to put their logos on sports jerseys?

Because they get easy marketing in a place that doesn't interrupt the time of others.

Then once we get the people we want to our websites or business the next step that Permission Marketing talks about is building the relationship with the customer to eventually get their permission to sell.

​Relationships are everything in this day and age and when we nurture them to a point that allows us to get permission to sell, that is the most valuable asset we can create.

Our Favorite Part of Seth Godin's Book: Permission
Marketing

Our hands down favorite part of Permission Marketing is the second half of this book where he goes into actually how we can start taking action on the concept of Permission Marketing.

This is not like many other books that just go into what works in theory and not how to apply those techniques to a business. 

Luckily for us, Seth Godin takes the time to give us examples and ways to implement Permission Marketing into our own marketing plans and start nurturing our customer relationships.

​We won't be lost in what to do after reading this book thanks to Seth Godin. His examples will allow us to start taking action ASAP after reading this great book.

Some Other Great Seth Godin Books

Picture
Purple Cow
This was the first book that we came across written by Seth Godin as it is one of his most popular books! Purple Cow focuses on helping us stand out in our marketing because without the attention we need, we will never be able to make a big enough impact to live our dream life, no matter how good your product is. The focus of this book is to help us create  marketing strategy that stands out and is a "purple cow," because nobody remembers a normal cow... they DO remember a purple cow though.
Learn More >>
Picture
Linchpin
Hands down one of the most beneficial Seth Godin books we have read as the techniques we can learn in this will translate to all areas of life no matter if a entrepreneur/ business owner or not. In linchpin we learn the skills and techniques that will make us nearly impossible to replace within a company or between you and your customers. When you offer so much value to your customers or the company you work at, the it makes it hard to replace you and they will in turn compensate you compared to the amount of value you offer. Linchpin helps us figure out exactly how to offer that kind of value...
Learn More >>
Picture
All Marketers Are Liars
This is one of Seth Godin's latest books that we have read and it goes over how marketers are telling their story on the internet all wrong. They are not looking at telling their story as a way for people to relate to them but rather a way to get them to relate to their business. When people feel that connection to your story they are more likely to build trust with you. Unfortunately, many businesses are doing this wrong in their marketing and social media, so Seth Godin decided to show us how to tell our story the right way..

What We Can Learn About Success From The Patriots Win In Super Bowl LI

2/6/2017

0 Comments

 
Welcome back!

What a win it was last night for the Patriots in Super Bowl LI, no matter who you were cheering for you gotta respect the comeback!

I was watching the Super Bowl and realized how some aspects of the game, specifically the second quarter comeback the Patriots had, related to our success in business and the journey it will take to get there. 

Here are 5 of the things we can learn about success from the Patriots comeback in Super Bowl LI...
Picture
Lesson #1: Don't Get Too Comfortable
Falcons Thought an easy win after halftime with a huge lead, right? Obviously not, but they got comfortable with the lead because the Patriots weren't doing much in the first half. Then the Patriots came out in it to win it and that decided the game. The Falcons got comfortable and lost the momentum, never get comfortable when you are seeing business results because you can lose what you worked so hard for even quicker than you got it.

Lesson #2: Never Let off The Gas
Falcons came out of the locker room with a comfortable lead and didn't push too hard they rather tried to just keep the lead. On the other hand, that Patriots came out in full strength on the offensive and were never going to let the Falcons stop them. Huge lesson here: stay on the offensive in business and dominate the market so that you become the go to guy. The moment you slow down a competitor can go just as hard and take over.

Lesson #3: Keep The Momentum Going
As we saw in the beginning of the game, the Falcons had all the momentum in their favor scoring over 20 points in the first half with the Patriots only at 3. that is until the halftime break allowed the Patriots to regroup and come back fighting harder than ever. This resulted in a momentum swing from the Falcons to the Patriots leading to 30 unanswered points from the Patriots. Never let the momentum switch hands, always keep it in your favor. Whether this be through keeping/ creating new habits, making more sales calls, spending that extra few hours each day, whatever. Just keep the momentum and odds of success in your favor.
Picture
Lesson #4: Consistency Is King
Even though the Falcons had their consistency in the first half they let it slide in the second while the Patriots stayed consistent throughout the game.. even after a very slow first half. This is much like in our business, we have to show up day in and day out and craft the habits that will force us to succeed. This means making those sales calls daily and creating amazing content. Just never stop creating and consistently keep pushing towards goals longer than everyone else. This will put the odds of success in your favor.

Lesson #5: Results Matter
Think 20-30 years down the road people will remember the whole game that transpired? Probably not, but they will remember the result of the game being a Patriots win. Results are documented, remembered and help you keep that momentum. Why do you think the Patriots keep winning? Because they have that momentum from the results each and every year, the results of winning is keeping their momentum going. We have to appreciate the little results day by day from the work we are putting in, instead of comparing ourselves to those ahead of us all the time. Get the momentum on your side.

Thank you guys, hope you learned a little something and are enjoying the journey to success! Please share this with anyone else on their way to success if you found any value!

Stay above average,

The Super Bowl and Success In Business

2/4/2017

0 Comments

 
What is up guys, Happy Super Bowl Sunday to all of us in the United States!

Thought we would kick off the day with a short little blog about our thoughts on success in business relating to success in The Super Bowl and just sports in general!

This is a super fitting topic today as the athletes who are competing have reached the top of their game in their niche (of football) as well as in both the mental and physical aspects of their life.

We wanted to make this blog to show you how their journey to the Super Bowl relates to our journey to creating their dream life, and what we can learn from these teams/ athletes.
Picture

Hustle & The Journey To The Super Bowl

I Cringe whenever I hear someone complaining that athletes get paid too much, like they put in 100x the work you are putting in and you expect the same results, like that's not how the game works bro. If it were so easy then we all would be playing pro ball...

They dedicated years if not their whole life to the game they loved, putting in the early mornings and late nights to get to where they are. Hell, they were even grinding on the weekend while everyone else was talking about how drunk they were going to get.

They did all this work not knowing what the future held, or what opportunities would arise becasue there was no clear path. But they did have one thing, that is the love of the game and that passion rove them day in and day out because they loved the challenges and they saw even the smallest improvements even when others didn't. They loved the process that their journey, to hopefully the NFL, took and to them it wasn't about the money or the fame but the pure love for the game.

It took years of hard work that continued through high school, putting in all of their time outside of school on their passions and knowing actually what they wanted out of life. The years, not day or weeks, that it took was painful when there were little results to show but they keep pushing through because they saw the bigger picture and trusted the process.

Eventually, the results started to show as they got picked up by a college only to dedicate 4 more years of their life to the process to hopefully get drafted into the NFL. Four more years of non stop work without a clear end in sight and never knowing what the future will hold but they are still driven by the love of the game. 

Each year more and more opportunities opened because they were creating their own luck through the work and making more opportunities for themselves. They kept having more opportunities come to them each year and eventually one of those opportunities was to play in the NFL. 
Picture
Once in the NFL, they found that goal to strive towards and their purpose for the game besides just the love of the process, and that was the Super Bowl.

Rather than getting drafted being the end of their journey, it was instead just the beginning, as now they were working just as hard and enjoying the process more i order to play their part in inning the Super Bowl.

As the players that started as young kids and never gave up on the process have now reached the Super Bowl with the goal of winning, they have had many opportunities that they have successfully answered. They have been able to go all in on all opportunities up to this point but who will execute it better?

The game will be decided today on executing the plan and who can execute better. It's all in the execution, no matter how good the team is, if they don't execute they lose. It is that simple!

How The Super Bowl Relates To Our Journey of Entrepreneurship

There is no better industries that relate to business better than sports and music because both require those who pursue them and their passions to take massive action towards a vision with no clear end goal and a long time before they see any success!

Here are just a handful of ways how the Super Bowl and the players' journey relates to our journey in business and entrepreneurship:

#1: They Chase Their Passions
They put in the work, not becasue it is showing results but because it is what they are passionate about, they couldn't see themselves doing anything other than being on the football grind. That is what we have to find in business, find something you love so much you aren't able to see yourself doing anything else, and when you find that go all in on it.

#2: They Enjoy The Process:
The players in the NFL didn't put in the work becasue they loved the money, rather they loved the game and the process that it took to get the NFL. The process takes years before you see any results, but that doesn't faze them because they love the morning workouts and two a day practice, it's a process and they would rather be doing nothing else. Find a process in business that you will enjoy and we will stick around for much longer than those who are chasing the money, that will put the odds of success in our favor.

#3: There Is No Clear Destination, Only A Vision
Just like in business, nothing is guaranteed. This is not like college where you see the degree and most likely a job at the end of the tunnel, us as well as the NFL players never know what lies ahead, or if ny of this work will pay off but we just trust the process and act based on our vision.

#4: Years of Work Before We See Results
Players who have made it to the NFL have put in years and years of work, likely up until later in their high school career, until they saw results and then even more years before they saw results in college and eventually the NFL. Just like in business where we are putting in years, yes years not months, of work until we start seeing any results or gaining any traction. This is not like what the "get rich quick" systems are telling us but it is the truth...
Picture
5: They Take Control of Their Life
They have made the choice to not let anyone tell them what they should do day in and day out and then worked towards their visions making every decision based on what they knew deep down was right. We are also doing this, putting in the work day in and day out so we can have full control over out lives.

6: Their Results Bring Their Dreams Into Reality:
The more and more action the players took, the more results and opportunities started to come their way. More doors were open for them as they worked on making their dream a reality and the same can happen for us. The more work we put in, content we create and connections we make, the more opportunities that will be presented to us. Then it's just a matter of chosing and taking action on them to get results.

7: Everyone Wonders How They Did It
Once they have made it to the NFL or even the Super Bowl, people that new them early in their life/ career start to wonder how they did it and become interested in their story. The secret is the work, they just stuck around and put in more work than everyone else around them and we can do the same by just enjoying the process and putting in the work.

8: They Found A Bigger Purpose:
Whether that purpose to be make it to the Super Bowl after getting drafted or to help and make an impact in places outside of the game, they have found a bigger purpose after finding some success and now are finding eve more success thanks to that purpose. This is exactly something we need to be doing, because the bigger purpose helps to drive our day to day actions in the right direction. It's alright if you started your journey in hopes of making some more money, if you want to make a impact and find real success though you will have to find a bigger purpose.

Thanks for the read guys and enjoy the big game today :)

Grant Cardone, Entrepreneurship & Business Mentor To Watch In 2017

2/3/2017

0 Comments

 
The guy who brought us the book that teaches us how to get the results we are looking for by putting in 10x the action. Grant Cardone is definitely going all in on success and helping us in 2017 and he should be on watch for us! 

Unlike most, Grant Cardone built his empire before he started to teach others how to win in life and business. He is the real deal having been successful in real estate as well as sales for at least a decade.

Possibly one of the best salesmen there are out there today, this is what created the base of Grant Cardone's career and what he focuses on teaching this day and age, sales. He has created countless millions of dollars in sales as well as sales teaching and he knows what works and what doesn't.

Living the life we envision for ourselves as the "perfect" life with fast cars, planes and freedom, he embodies exactly what we stand for. He has found success and now is able to never miss any family event, we think we should listen to him because success is our obligation!

Why We Need To Learn From Grant Cardone

Grant Cardone is part of a select group of people out there who have actually created real businesses and have found success before selling courses to others. Many people sell courses to others when they have never done it themselves and how does that give us any value???

In Grant's case, he was able to create a powerful real estate empire as well as become an expert salesman as he went company to company consulting on their sales teams. Now today he focuses on teaching these sales teams how to find success and sell to the best of their ability.

And he packs this knowledge that he gives to corporate America into books and online courses so we can learn how to sell like pros.

​Grant Cardone offers so much value around the fields of entrepreneurship and success in that it would be dumb to not listen to what he has to say... He is right up there with Gary Vaynerchuk!

Other Mentors To Watch Out For In 2017

Picture
Gary Vaynerchuk
Gary has to be the mentor that we see with the most momentum coming into 2017 along with Grant Cardone. Gary has been doubling down on his content as well as his businesses lately coming out with a new vlog and renaming his podcast to The Gary Vaynerchuk Audio Experience, because damn that is really what that podcast is, it's so good! 

The new vlog brings us into the day to day life of Gary as he shares his hustle with us as well as what his life is like daily. He also shares business, life and entrepreneurship tips all the time on these vlogs and they are fire so don't miss out.

Another thing we see Gary doing recently, which is why he is flying to the top of our mentor list is leveraging his relationships with people inside of and outside of the business industry. Recently, he has really stepped into the music game and other industries meeting with business owners and even rappers such as ASAP Ferg! 

This show that Gary is trying to leverage his connections so that he always has the go-to people in every industry in the future. This is a massive step that no other mentor is publicly taking, especially into new industries such as hip hop.

Gary is doubling down on content and so should we, don't miss the momentum.
Picture
Andy Frisella
Andy Frisella is also making big moves outside of his own industry this year after totally transforming the fitness and health aspect of his life last year! Ended last year ad began this year with a new book, but not the usual entrepreneurship books, rather a children's book!

Why a children's book?
Because they are the next generation and if you teach them right at a young age the lessons and habits will stick in their brain. Andy noticed the lack of a book to teach kids essential life lessons, especially around business, so he made one himself!

Andy is also doubling down on his connections and podcast called the MFCEO Project, as he has been bringing new people on and offering more and more value.

We also hear that Andy might have another book, other than his children's series, coming out this year. So stay tuned and lets see what he has coming.
Picture
Gerard Adams
Gerard Adams is not as well known in the business industry as Gary or Andy but he has had a major exit from his Business Elite Daily for $50 million dollars so he kind of knows what he is doing:) 

Gerard, much like Gary and Andy also has a podcast called Leaders Create Leaders as well as  vlog on YouTube around this same subject. In the podcast and well as vlog he offers advice, shows us his lifestyle (which is pretty dope) and interviews other leaders in their industry for their stories and tips! He recently featured Andy Frisella so don't miss that episode here>>

Finally, Gerard is running a new startup called Fownders to help entrepreneurs connect, bounce ideas off of each other, learn from those about them and gain knowledge based around their niches. It is actually a great concept and we suggest you learn some more about what they offer here.. 

Hope you all found some more value out of this new post and we highly suggest you watch these mentors to help leverage yourself in 2017. Now go out and get after it, never settle for average!

The Book That Can Help Us 10x Our Business Results

2/2/2017

0 Comments

 
Not getting the results you are looking for in your business?

Well good news because we have just finished this killer book from Grant Cardone, called the 10x Rule.

This Should be required reading for all entrepreneurs and business owners who really want to make an impact so they can create the freedom we want in life!

So lets goooooo!!
Picture

The 10x Rule by Grant Cardone

What is the 10x Rule?

Well, the 10x Rule was created by Grant Cardone with the goal of helping entrepreneurs, business owners and just people in general, get the results they are looking for in all areas of life.

Whether this be better business conversions, a larger audience, eating better, working out more, reading more, or whatever aspect of your life you want to improve. These are the step by step actions we need to be taking in order to make those visions a reality.

​The only way we can achieve the giant goals we have set and get the results we are looking for is to take 10x the amount of action that we think it will take. Then there is no way we are taking too little action and sowing our success.

Action is the controllable factor in our success and Grant Cardone teaches us how to master and take advantage of that factor, in order to get what we want out of life, in his book The 10x Rule.

The 10x Rule can also help us take luck and chance out of the equation because when you are taking this amount of action, we are creating our own luck. 

This book has to be required reading for all of us entrepreneurs and just those wanting more out of life because it will get us in the mindset of taking massive action because starting your business sis just the beginning, there is so much more. 

If you aren't focused on growth after starting that is when results start to slow down and people start to quit. Grab your copy of this book here so that doesn't happen >>

Our Favorite Chapters & Pieces of Knowledge From The Book

Below are some of our favorite nuggets of info from The 10x Rule by Grant Cardone, as well as some of our favorite chapters to get a taste of the content in this book!!
Picture

Chapters:

Success Is Your Duty... learn why it is our obligation to succeed not only to create the freedom we re looking for in life but also to provide for our family and inspire the next generation to chase their dreams and not just go through the motions of life.

Average Is A Failing Formula... I mean this is what we stand for, doing everything above average and never settling for an average life. This chapter teaches us how to do that o how can we not love it?

10x Goals...Learn how to set goals that force you to take 10x more action than you think it takes.

Obsession Isn't A Disease, It's A Gift... Learn why obsession is the only way to success because it forces you to take massive action, as well as learn how to create that obsession.

Omnipresence... Learn how to make it seem like you are everywhere with the best content and why this is important.

Getting Started With The 10x Rule... The best chapter because it helps us put to use everything that we learned. Unlike many other ooks that just stuff us with knowledge and say "go."

Nuggets of Info From the 10x Rule

“As long as you are alive, you will either live to accomplish your own goals and dreams or be used as a resource to accomplish someone else's.” 

“What if the only thing standing in the way of your greatness was that you just had to go after everything obsessively, persistently, and as though your life depended on it?” 

“Average is a failing plan! Average doesn't work in any area of life. Anything that you give only average amounts of attention to will start to subside and will eventually cease to exist.” 

“Never take the position that things just happen to you; rather, they happen because of something you did or did not do.” 

“All the excuses in the world won't change one simple fact: that fear is a sign to do whatever it is you fear—and do it quickly.” ​

“Success tends to bless those who are most committed to giving it the most attention.”

​“You know, you don't need to grow old to die. I was dying at the age of 20 as a result of no direction and no purpose.”

Why We Need This Book

I'll keep this short and simple: realistically very few are actually taking the action required to reach success.

Think about it, actually ask yourself if you are doing what it takes. Well if you are, you probably still aren't because according to the 10x Rule it will take 10x as much work and 10x longer than expected.

But that is what makes the journey so great and fulfilling, not just the rewards at the end but the process of creating something that makes an impact. The weak get weeded out early in the journey and only the strong survive to see their ideas flourish.

What do you want to be, the one that quits next year because they didn't get the results of the one that wins because they saw the whole vision and believed in the process.

Choice is yours, the link for the 10x Rule is right here for all of us who really want it, not just think we want it and will quit but those of us who really want the dream life.

This book helps us craft the mindset, vision and goals that force us to take the 10x action.

Take the action and become great or keep doing what you are doing and possibly never see the end of the tunnel,
​ the choice is yours!
