Hustle & Flowchart: Mastering Business & Enjoying the Journey

The Hustle & Flowchart Podcast with Joe Fier is all about how to build a business so it gives you the freedom and fuel for your life. We discuss systems, mindset tweaks, reframes, and strategies for entrepreneurs (and really anyone) to enjoy the process of being in business and having fun. This isn't for the entrepreneur looking to build a billion dollar business, rather someone who is looking to build systems that work for you, so you can make more money than you need just by working part-time. I was a chronic hustle-mode kinda guy and I want to share my experiences and mentors I've met along the way to help you reframe things so you can be the most effective as an entrepreneur. Join in conversations with Joe Fier and various mentors sharing principles and strategies to put this into action for yourself. Please enjoy and share with your friends! Listen Notes

What a great conversation with Mark Lack from ShortenTheGap.com, who is such a baller! We first connected with Mark in the Steal Our Winners program, which is awesome and highly recommended. He’s been talking about the model which we are very interested in, and we love the fact that he broke down the tactics of what we have been discussing in our business lately. We talk a lot about YouTube and if you are seeing a lot of people talking about getting yourself on YouTube, it’s still not too late. Facebook is being more restrictive than ever whereas on the Google/YouTube platforms, we feel they are giving us more opportunities to build out your brand and your flywheel.  

We love the way that Mark thinks, as he’s a branding guy. He talks about how he was studying the legends at a young age, while he was becoming one of the world’s most well-known paintballers. He then discusses why you need to use marketing for not only your audience, but throwing your marketing budget and time at the guests and brands you want to connect with. And if you are just starting out and don’t have any episodes to show to sponsors, he’ll let you know what to do there as well. When you’re done listening, be sure to check out our other shows with Lisa Buyer and Justin Schenck for some additional chats on how to connect with the right folks while building your brand. 

Celebrities only care about timing and attention…if the timing is right, and you guarantee enough attention and eyeballs, any celebrity will say yes.” - Mark Lack

 

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Being a loser in school while earning $300K as a professional paintball star
  • How to get more of what you want by helping people get what they want
  • Getting a massive discount when posting videos to Facebook or Instagram
  • How to pre-guarantee results to the celebrity and sponsor
  • One of the fastest ways to build a really big show
  • How to become more memorable and famous for free
  • What to do if you do not have a backlog of episodes to showcase to sponsors
  • The most important thing you want to do during the first 5 seconds of your video
  • How to connect with event sponsors without even attending

Joe is back with another snackable episode today, and he’s talking about what we have learned from some very smart folks in the business marketing community. This is how online education is being launched these days, leveraging 3.0 web technology. If you are not aware of what that is, Joe will be explaining a bit of what that is today and why you should be paying attention.

We are back for round two with Marshall Sylver, where we had another amazing conversation which we recorded at his Certainty Theater. If you are listening to this episode, make sure you check out the video version at HustleAndFlowchart.tv because you can see behind the scenes of what it looks like inside the Certainty Theater where Marshall runs his stage hypnosis shows. This was a completely different look from most of our videos, so make sure you check this one out. 

Marshall talks about the time he put Joe to sleep on stage, how he has pivoted with his training while still making a huge impact with his students and his analogy of winning both blackjack and at business. He also dives into what he refers to as a new type of podcast and why this method is so enticing. You’ll hear how he became one of the most successful closers today and how he is making a huge difference in his students lives. Want more? Go check out our previous conversations with John Assaraf and Marx Acosta-Rubio for more insight on how to harness the power of our brain to accomplish goals.

It’s the same thing in any business, that if you are not in front of a target rich environment – a prospect that would want what you are selling and could afford to buy it – you are wasting your time.” – Marshall Sylver

We’re changing a lot of things up over here at Hustle & Flowchart. We’re in the middle of a rebuilding phase, completely overhauling almost everything in our business.

In this quick episode, Matt breaks down one of the big topics we’re going to start to put a ton of focus on. Today we’re talking about Web 3 and decentralization. It’s something that we can avoid anymore. We talked about it with Michael Taggart back in 2017 and we circled back around with Joel Comm in 2021. The first time, our brains weren’t ready for it. We didn’t know what to do with the information other than just throw some money at some cryptocurrencies.

Now, it’s finally clicking and we can’t avoid talking about it. The pandemic has accelerated the Web 3 journey to mainstream and it’s only a matter of months before it becomes the normal way that people do things. This changes everything and those that are still ignoring it or writing it off will really regret that decision in the near future.

“Web 3 will be where almost all future financial opportunities will lie” - Matt Wolfe

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Where we’re taking this podcast in the future
  • “You can plug your ears and maybe the future will go away”
  • What is Web 3?
  • How Web 3 will impact the way people make money
  • How online education is changing as a result
  • What you should study right now...

Dr. John Demartini is a man on a mission and on today’s show you’ll hear how he discovered his life’s passion at a young age. He had a vision of traveling the world while teaching and sharing whatever he’d learned so that it might be of value to help others to master their lives and do something extraordinary. Over his lifetime, he has devoured over 30,000 books and inspired others to find their true passion, sharing his knowledge with the world. 

 

Listen in as you’ll hear stories of some of his students, and how one woman took her love of spending time with her pet and turned it into a multi-million dollar career. He discusses how to stop comparing yourself to others, utilize your forebrain to create visions of your future, and decipher what you value most so that you can then be of value to others. After you’ve listened, be sure to check out our conversations with Marx Acosta-Rubio and Elliot Roe for more information on how to discover what’s holding you back so you can accomplish more with your life.

 

When we fill our day with the highest priority action that inspires us most - that makes the biggest difference and equitable exchange of service, we have found it. And if we do that, we don’t need motivation.” - Dr. John Demartini

 

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Finding your true passion
  • Aligning your passions with income requirements
  • How one woman made a living because she loved to hang out with her dog
  • How to move past external factors
  • The inner workings of your brain and why you want to light up the front part
  • Getting rid of self sabotage of our idea

Joe is on board today with an important, snackable episode. He’s talking about real, heartfelt stuff, since, as entrepreneurs, digital marketers and those of us who work behind the screen deal with life a little differently than folks who work a traditional job. We have different social aspects that come our way and the last two years have had us in all our bubbles. Joe tells a story from his side of things, and how it’s affected him and what he's learned over the last two years. 

 

He discusses why the last two years have been the most pivotal for both him and our business, in terms of clarity and finding out who we are. We have chatted on the podcast a lot about mental health and this subject is more important than ever. If you find this information helpful, please pass it along, as our goal is to bring this discussion to light and help as many people as possible. Once you are done, be sure to listen to our chats with Anthony Trucks and Angelo Sisco who share their stories of overcoming obstacles and how to put yourself in the right frame of mind.  

 

“We’re living in a world where we are ultra connected, but at the same time we are not really totally connected empathically, where it actually matters and you feel it.” - Joe Fier

 

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

 

  • What should’ve been one of the happiest times was also one of the saddest
  • Overview of the last two years and why they have been the hardest
  • Things that have helped Joe ‘get his voice back’
  • The pivotal moment that changed everything
  • Self-improvement strategies that seem simple, but really work
  • Dealing with overwhelm and how to break out of that bubble

You are going to love our chat today with Ty Cohen, a longtime entrepreneur, who is now taking over the world of online publishing. There’s a lot of money to be made with Amazon Publishing, and whether you are a writer or not, Ty teaches people how to get your books published in the world’s biggest online bookstore. His students consist of writers who want to get their content out to the masses, authority figures who publish in order to get leads for their courses and high ticket offers, as well as people who use ghostwriters to publish a series of books with a huge audience behind them.

 

Listen in as Ty talks about what niches to publish in, how to find out what your audience is reading before you pick a subject, and how he teaches his students to market. He also discusses where to advertise, how to repurpose your content and where to find people to write for you as well as create audio books. Lastly, Ty chats about some opportunities he has outside of the publishing world and his thoughts on NFTs and leaving a legacy. After you have listened and realized the opportunity behind publishing, check out our chats with Laura Gale and Rob Kosberg for even more insight and vision into the world of self-publishing. 

 

In internet marketing we always hear that you want to go with the niches, which is fine sometimes. But when you want to make a lot of money…when you want to be to the point where you are continuously making cash where it’s hard to shut it off, you want to go where the markets are wide and evergreen.” - Ty Cohen 

 

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

 

  • What niches to look at when publishing
  • Example of categories where  Ty’s students are crushing it, including Ty’s teenage son who is make $4K a month publishing in one particular category
  • The easiest way to get someone to buy from you
  • Writing a book vs. hiring a ghostwriter
  • Creating a journey for your reader where they will want to buy from you over and over again
  • The one important approach that most non-fiction authors are missing
  • The 3 must have criteria when you are doing your market research
  • How to repurpose the book you’ve already made and where to hire people to make it an easy process

We’re back with another Therapy Session! In this episode, we consider renaming our show (just kidding!) and dive into some of our takeaways from attending the Traffic & Conversion Summit. It was a great event and there was a LOT going on. We chat about  how we set up our booth, some things we learned about the ins and outs of renting a booth, how we changed our tactics as the event went on and some of the amazing people we chatted with while we were there.

 

There were some things we did purposely to make sure our booth was not only one of the most inviting and interesting ones there, but attracted great conversations with attendees and sponsors alike. We also dive into several a-ha moments we got while attending the event and why we have changed our goal for the future. If the idea of making amazing connections to further your business growth excites you, check out our conversations with Justin Schenck and Gary Henderson for more insight into growing your network and connecting with influential people.

 

“We put ourselves right in the middle of the zone to be seen, and then the connectors show up, our friends show up, and subscribers and listeners show up.” - Joe Fier

 

On the expo floor, we had our own little hangout where people were just floating to us and chatting with us the whole time.” - Matt Wolfe

 

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

 

  • Great advice from Dan, who gets another shoutout - Hi Dan!
  • Matt’s big success that even Joe didn’t know about until just now
  • How we made our booth the most interesting on the floor
  • How we are to become major connectors in our space
