MAKE THE DIFFERENCE YOU WERE BORN TO MAKE

The Business of Thought Leadership podcast is about building your thought leadership around your expertise, your brand and your name. To become well known and highly regarded in the market place for the results you are able to produce for your clients.

Our guests are top thought leaders who have done it. They’ve become widely known for their expertise and results they’re able to deliver for their clients. They all love what they do and get paid very well for doing it.

You’ll meet entrepreneurs that have leveraged thought leadership in driving business revenue, coaches that were unknown and barely making ends who later became celebrities and took their income into the 7 figures, consultants that transformed into best-selling authors and built multi-million dollar firms and senior executives who followed their passion, left their day jobs and are changing the world.

We’ve had interviews with notables such as success and investment coaching icon, Raymond Aaron, a personal coach to billionaires, Alex Charfen & Tony Robbins’ Director of Coaching, Marc Von Musser.

Steve Jobs once said...

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” — Steve Jobs

Are you crazy enough to join us in making the difference you were born to make. We want you to 10x your impact, your income and your influence every 12 months. 

Financially successful people with purpose and passion are changing the world and we want to inspire you to be one of them.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” — Margaret Mead, American cultural anthropologist

Reality: Due to the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020, those of us privileged enough were able to work from home For some it was a novelty. For me, as a free lance graphics and web designer it was not new. What was new, initially was centered around Covid 19. Those of us living in NYC experienced the sheer overwhelming catastrophe the pandemic was up close before much of the US. Ambulance sirens screaming day and night, long lines at many of the grocery stores, mask wearing and social distancing, zoom conferences for business and face timing with family was my life those first 4 months. I also spent a lot of time watching movies, reading and doing research for my mother who originally had wanted to replace her living room furniture, but then scaled back her plans to just reupholstering her sofa and chairs. I did google searches and spoke to friend and neighbors. As it turned out my super turned me on to a company whom he considered as the upholstery/reupholstery company in the five boroughs. I thought that perhaps he might be exaggerating, but I looked them up online, found them ranked super high for "reupholstery NYC" committed to the project. I helped her select the fabrics and walked her through the process which was super simple - they come, pick up the furniture, do the work, and deliver the finished product. She showed me her new living room look via a facetime chat. The old sofa and chairs looked brand new! Can't wait till we are both vaccinated so I can visit in person.

Meanwhile, fear about losing clients and income was foremost, but I was lucky. I actually picked up a couple of new clients who wanted an online presence since most retail stores had initially shut down. One of these new clients had hired one she told me was one of the best search engine optimizers NYC firm that catered to small and medium businesses. I'm not sure what she based her opinion on, perhaps great results, I would hope. I have been working with one of the principals of SEO ZEN NYC who is a social media expert. I am creating the visual ads for the Pinterest and Facebook ads for my client. Working with SEO ZEN NYC has been enlightening for me particularly in regards to their approach for Pay-per-click marketing and the social media campaigns.

I had read Duct Tape Selling: Think Like a Marketer-Sell Like a Superstar a couple of years ago when I was first starting up my little business: ME and decided to reread it while I was sheltering in place this past spring. Granted I am not an e commerce site although I have built quite a few of such site. I am my own marketer and sales rep for myself. Nevertheless, I have been able to utilize quite a bit of the information in Jantsch's book, Duct Tape Selling. I have even recommended both Duct Tape Marketing and Duct Tape Selling to a couple of my clients who are small businesses.There are some very useful tips, processes and strategies.

RELATIONSHIP REVOLUTION

RELATIONSHIP REVOLUTION

Overview

Any relationship can work.

In The Relationship Revolution, Owen Williams calls on couples to stop working in their relationship and start working on it.

When couples work in their relationship, they compete against each other. They justify themselves, play the blame game, and compare each other's level of effort. It's not long before they say, “A relationship that takes this much work isn't worth saving.”

When couples work on their relationship, they co-create the relationship they both dream of. Their focus is on the needs of the relationship. Instead of fixating on their inpidual shortcomings, they concentrate on the potential of what they can build together.

Then, as they discover what their relationship needs, each inpidual is naturally drawn to what keeps them from offering their best to the relationship. Before long the two — inpidually and together — evaluate their beliefs about themselves and the world.

While relatively untroubled relationships can easily fall apart under the first approach, relationships marked by infidelity, loss, betrayal, or long-term disconnection can make the journey back to health under the second.

Welcome to the revolution.

OWEN WILLIAMS is a Relationship Coach and the founder of Inner Directions — The Centre for Relationship Excellence, in Toronto, Canada. He won the 2008 Ron Hering Award in recognition of his service to men in his community. He has co-hosted a radio show on relationships and is a popular keynote speaker, presenter, and facilitator.

EP09: Owen Williams - How The Imposter Syndrome Impacts Your Success

Michael Palmer & Nicky Billou

Have you ever thought twice about putting your thought leadership out there to the world?

The reason?

For some, it’s the fear they’ll be exposed for not knowing what the heck they’re doing.

Longtime Toronto-area relationship coach, Owen Williams, who has counselled men and couples for over two decades, lived through it when he had a great career, wife, money and prestige, but he felt hollow.

According to Williams, the way to overcome the fear is to dig deep.

He believes, “if you don’t go within, you will go without.”

So, Williams feels entrepreneurs need to take the time to reflect and decide how to authentically live their lives and be the best version of themselves.

During this conversation, you’ll learn…

  • Why it’s vital to slow down to start your road of self discovery even though you’re incredibly busy
  • How to not let your inner critic control your life
  • Why it’s important to grasp and execute this idea, “when you change your mind, you change your life”
  • And finally, why you must surround yourself with 5 good friends who are not afraid to give you honest feedback about who you are
