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

Tech gremlins aside, we finally got done with our awesome episode with today’s guest, Gabby Bernstein. It was a great conversation, and Gabby’s energy is amazing. We chat about her most recent book which is all about how to stay in that positivity mode. She has written a total of eight books and her latest book is called Super Attractor: Methods for Manifesting a Life Beyond Your Wildest Dreams.

We chat about some of the methods Gabby uses to help us shift our brains when you are not enjoying the work to shift ourselves back into that place of peace.

When you’re done listening, be sure to check out our other shows with Chris Krimitsos and Susie Moore and we talk more about how to break down barriers that are limiting your potential.

Fear really runs our lives. Every choice we make and every experience we have is based on fearful experiences from our history that have defined who we are today. ” - Gabby Bernstein

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How to Gabby was able to bring herself back from hitting rock bottom to getting on Oprah
  • The ‘Choose Again Method’, a simple tool to get you out of your fear-based story

On today’s show, we are chatting with Chris Ross who gave us a total masterclass on sales which is pure gold. Chris is a fellow podcaster and runs TCR Consulting Agency and on today’s show, he does a deep dive into the conversations he has with his potential clients. He really gets into the mental game of sales and the mindset you need to have to approach it for success. He also shared with us his daily routine and his goal to improve each and every day by 1% as well as how to handle objections. It’s less about scripting and more about how your brain needs to be when entering into the conversation.

Chris also has a podcast, aptly name the Win-Win Effect and on that show, you will learn sales at a level you most likely have never heard before, without all the questionable methods but selling with a giving, connecting, and problem-solving intention. You will definitely have some mind shifts and a-ha moments about selling while listening in, so check this one out. And once you are done, be sure to check out the show we referred to with Chris Voss (not to be confused with our guest) and with Marshall Sylver for even more success traits for being a great salesperson. 

If you are really struggling with your sales, and if you want to experience what it feels like to have zero buyer’s remorse, ask them “What, When, Why, How” questions.” - Chris Ross

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • Chris’ method to make himself 1% better on a daily basis
  • The importance of taking notes (and not on your phone)
  • Some great examples of conversations when dealing with objections as well as getting your potential clients into the right frame of mind
  • The international speaker who changed Chris’s life around
  • Starting your day off right, without being overwhelmed by social media, and most importantly, being tied to your phone
  • Examples of how some well-known people learn from their failures and how you can put this same thing into practice to improve
  • How to set up the conversation right from the start to let them know you are working on their behalf
  • Give us a shout at info@evergreenprofits.com if you have an idea for an awesome name we can attribute to all of our awesome listeners (because HustleAndFlowcharters is way too long)
  • And much, much more!

If you enjoy listening to Felicia’s tactics, you’ll love even more branding insight from our shows with Billy Gene Shaw and Steven Sashen.

Today we are talking with Lisa Buyer and how she uses public relations and social media to get more PR. Lisa is a fellow podcaster, has a PR agency, and is also an author. You can get a free digital version of her book, PR Secrets, which is packed full of content and is basically a PR manual. Listen in as you’ll hear how Lisa discusses how to use social media platforms to get press, and how to use your content to get in front of the right media people and groups. You’ll hear all about Facebook groups, LinkedIn, Twitter, even Tik Tok and how to leverage them to get more media representation for your brand.

We chat about some of the things she talks about in her book, where she covers a host of topics such as newsjacking, chatbots, futurists, SEO, visual reporting, podcasting, and what’s new in putting together a press release. This is similar to the way we are approaching our business, in outreach with other publications that can help spread our message, but also as helping them in turn. There’s a lot of content that we all create without thinking about, where someone will share that, feature a quote, or perhaps a podcast you've been on. These are all opportunities for you to build up this library and Lisa will explore how to take advantage of that in a clever way. After you’ve listened be sure to check out our shows with Molly Mahoney and Dennis Yu for even more tips on how to get the most out of your social media strategy.

It's actually a great time to do ads because ads are less expensive. So combining the superpowers of public relations, SEO, and social, if you can optimize each part of that you're going to get the most reach and visibility,  and all eyeballs are on digital right now.” - Lisa Buyer

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How to approach influencers on social media and why a big following isn’t always necessary
  • Why you should include a media page on your site and how to make it easy for journalists to research everything they need to know about you
  • Which social media platforms have the most traction
  • A way to repurpose an article or blog post that is so simple, yet effective, you will wonder why you’ve never used it before
  • Using Messenger as a way to communicate with journalists who visit your site
  • The difference between marketing on LinkedIn and Facebook
  • A clever way to use Tik Tok to your advantage, without having to make a crazy video
  • Lisa’s big a-ha moment that she got from attending our mastermind at Podfest
  • The #1 outreach strategy, which is easy to implement but often overlooked
  • Imposter syndrome and more breakthroughs to get through that and forge ahead
  • And much, much more!

We loved speaking with Susie Moore, who has such fun energy, and today we talk about her recently released book, called Stop Checking Your Likes. Susie also runs a media company and has been on Oprah and the Today Show. Listen in as she breaks down all these limiting beliefs that a lot of us carry around unknowingly, and has some very simple ideas on how to deal with that because it’s not serving you. 

We talk about what it means to “stop checking your likes” as it's something that holds a lot of people back from growing their business since they are scared of what people might think of what they're doing, as the need for approval stops a lot of people from having those necessary conversations.

David Wood has an interesting background, from working with various businesses to coaching sessions with prisoners and wardens in maximum security prisons. He is using the same mechanism across the board, and by listening to today’s show, you’ll have the opportunity to get it for free. You’ll also hear us doing this in a role play fashion with a real scenario that we had in our business recently.  

In this episode, we discuss ways to have difficult conversations with people that we know we need to speak with and how to approach having them, where you may be anxious or worked up about it ahead of time. If you follow this framework, then you really shouldn’t get too worked up, as it becomes a process, not a personal emotional thing. You’ll also realize that we are in our heads a lot, and anxiety pops up as we think of things that we consider to be reality, but this process will help to bring out a logical process where you’ll uncover what to do. It’ll work for your employees, your boss, your spouse, etc. and it’s a process about having tough conversations no matter who you are talking to. If this episode helps in ways to shift your own mindset around dealing with difficult situations, be sure to check out our episodes with Dr. Steve Rudens and David Allen as well.

The last 25 years have been about the other stuff. It's about telling the truth….learning to actually like myself more has been the journey.” - David Wood

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • How to approach conversations you don’t want to have with your spouse, boss, employee, business partner, etc. 
  • How to deal with the “mouse in the room” (and it’s not by getting a cat!)
  • How David helps his clients like themselves so they can love themselves more
  • The tendency to gloss over feeling contracted and how to bring that to light
  • What’s it like running this model in a maximum security prison
  • Lots of examples on what to say when you are trying to begin the conversation
  • Why just filling out the worksheet can reveal some a-ha moments and win over ego
  • How this method works with our own real life example 
  • And much, much more!

We’re still in lockdown, but fear not, we still have our flow! Today we have a legend in our marketing space, Russell Brunson. Not only is he well known for his product on how to make a potato gun, but he is also the founder of ClickFunnels. He wrote Expert Secrets, Dotcom Secrets and today we are going to hone in on his latest book, Traffic Secrets.

What we both love about this new book is it details the paradigm shifts that you need to go through to really understand traffic, and not just the ad networks but the business as a whole. Even though we had a briefer conversation than usual with Russell, this show is densely packed and we really got as much as we could in a shorter window. You’ll get to hear how he was able to get on The Profit show with Marcus Lemonis and you’ll also understand why you should be using these different traffic sources and what their uses are vs. the actual tactics, which you can get in his book, Traffic Secrets. Whether you are a novice or a veteran, we guarantee there are things you probably haven’t even thought about, and we cover this at a high level in today’s show. When you’re done, get some more funnel tactics from our talks with Dave Woodward and Nicholas Kusmich.

My goal with this book was to get the whole conversation for all entrepreneurs to think differently about how to get traffic. There are so many ways to get traffic that aren't Facebook. Most are better, and nobody knows about it because they're all just focused on the one simple one that’s easy to do right now.” - Russell Brunson

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

  • What you can learn from selling a DVD on potato guns
  • Why you want to be the one spending the most to get the customer
  • The Dream 100 concept, how we were able to use it to get Russell on the show, and how Russell uses it as well.
  • Why you should understand the history of these various traffic sources so that they will reward you 
  • Russell’s new book and how it relates to his trilogy, which has been updated and expanded (and how you can get the new hardcover version along with a workbook to track your progress)
  • How to build an affiliate army, and ways to entice them to continue to promote you, even if you are making the same offer for years
  • Why amateurs only focus on the front end
  • How to find out where your dream customers congregate
  • And much, much more!
