Podcast Summary
Learning from successful figures and taking action to start a business: Be inspired by successful figures, sell something to learn marketing skills, and consider hiring a business coach for guidance and accountability.
Starting a business requires action and learning from experience. The speaker, who has recently released a best-selling productivity book, shares his experience of looking up to successful figures and being inspired to achieve his own goals. He encourages listeners who aspire to start their own businesses to get out there and sell something, as this will teach them valuable marketing skills. Robin Waite, a business coach, mentor, and author, elaborates on the role of a business coach. He explains that a coach is not there to tell you what to do but rather to ask well-formed questions and guide you. A coach also provides accountability and support, helping you overcome fears and taking action towards your goals. This approach is similar to the speaker's own, combining elements of business coaching and mentoring.
Fear of starting a business and the importance of pushing past it: Identifying your 'why' and assessing your current situation can help overcome fear and start building a business that provides financial freedom and flexibility
Fear, whether it's fear of failure or rejection, can hold us back from stepping out of our comfort zones and pursuing new opportunities, such as starting a business. As humans, we naturally avoid discomfort and seek comfort. However, pushing ourselves just a little outside our comfort zones can help us learn and grow. Many people are considering entrepreneurship as a way out of their current situation or to lead more fulfilling lives, but the fear of taking the first step can be overwhelming. As a coach, my role is to help individuals identify their "why" for wanting to start a business and assess their current situation to determine how long they can continue in their current role. By understanding their motivations and limitations, we can develop a plan to help them take that first step and begin building a business that can provide them with financial freedom and flexibility.
Identifying a business idea that aligns with passions, provides financial stability, and offers freedom: To pursue a fulfilling and financially stable career, identify a business idea that aligns with your passions, address self-doubt, and gather evidence to back up beliefs.
Finding fulfillment and financial stability through a business requires addressing the three key areas of freedom, fulfillment, and finance. The speaker expressed a desire to earn an extra $2,000 a month to achieve a better work-life balance and pursue a passion. However, they struggled with identifying what they truly love doing and felt intimidated by the competition in certain industries. The speaker mentioned their past enjoyment of web design but held back due to self-doubt and fear of the competition. This pattern of self-doubt and fear is common when starting a business. However, it's essential to recognize that having evidence to back up these beliefs is crucial. The speaker acknowledged that they didn't have solid evidence to support their doubts about their skills and abilities in web design. To summarize, the takeaway is to identify a business idea that aligns with your passions, provides financial stability, and offers the freedom to live life on your terms. It's important to acknowledge and address self-doubt and fear, but also to recognize that having evidence to back up these beliefs is crucial. The speaker's journey highlights the importance of self-reflection, identifying strengths, and overcoming self-doubt to pursue a fulfilling and financially stable career.
Identifying a business with passion, freedom, and financial stability: To achieve long-term success, find a business that aligns with your passions, offers freedom, and ensures financial stability. Avoid pursuing a business solely for financial reasons without considering the other factors.
Finding a business venture that aligns with your passions and provides a balance of freedom, fulfillment, and financial stability is crucial for long-term success. The speaker's experience transitioning from a medical career to considering various business opportunities highlights the importance of identifying a business that resonates with you and offers a clear pathway to achieving your goals. The speaker's struggle with self-initiative and figuring things out on their own in the context of web design illustrates the value of having a roadmap or guidance to get started. Additionally, the speaker emphasizes that pursuing a business solely for financial reasons without considering the other two factors can lead to dissatisfaction and eventual abandonment. Therefore, it's essential to evaluate potential businesses based on their potential to provide a balance of freedom, fulfillment, and financial stability.
Be inspired by successful people and businesses, not intimidated: Focus on a niche, take the first step, and be persistent in pursuing your goals, regardless of funding
Instead of being intimidated by successful people or businesses and believing that we can never achieve the same level of success, we should be inspired by them and see their accomplishments as proof that we too can reach our goals. The functions of a business, such as sales, marketing, and finance, remain consistent regardless of the product or service. To get started, it's important to focus on a specific niche or idea that resonates with us and aligns with the three F's: Fun, Fulfillment, and Finance. We don't need to explore all possibilities indefinitely before committing; rather, we should take the first step towards our goal, no matter how small it may be. Funding is not always a prerequisite for starting a business, and we can take action today by registering a domain name, setting up social media accounts, or even building a simple website. The key is to start and make progress towards our goals, rather than getting stuck in the planning stage.
Evaluating Business Ideas: Passion, Potential, and Affordability: To identify solid business ideas, write down all possibilities, rate passion, potential results, and affordability, and assign a score out of 30 to each idea.
When brainstorming business ideas, it's essential to write down all possibilities and then evaluate them based on specific criteria. This process can help narrow down options and identify solid business ideas that align with your passion, potential for good results for clients, and affordability. The speaker recommends using three columns across the top of your list. The first column is to rate how much you love the idea on a scale of 1 to 10. The second column is to assess the likelihood of achieving good results for clients if you were to turn it into a business. The final column is to consider if people can afford to pay you for the service or product. By assigning a score out of 30 to each idea, you can easily identify the most promising opportunities. Additionally, the speaker emphasizes the importance of considering various options and not getting overwhelmed by the abundance of choices available on the internet. He also shares his personal experience using Huel, a meal replacement shake that has helped him maintain a balanced diet while juggling multiple responsibilities. The speaker highly recommends Huel due to its affordability, high protein content, and convenience. Lastly, the speaker mentions Trading 212 as a valuable resource for those interested in investing. The app allows users to practice investing with fake money before risking real money and offers a seamless process for depositing funds.
Accessible investing with Trading 212 and relationship coaching: Trading 212 offers an easy-to-use platform for investing, including copying successful strategies and earning daily interest on uninvested cash. For relationship coaching, understand goals and preferences, optimize profiles, and provide communication skills.
Trading 212 offers an accessible and user-friendly platform for investing, with features like pies that allow users to follow and copy successful investment strategies. Additionally, the app now offers daily interest on uninvested cash. For those considering starting a business in a new field, such as relationship coaching, it's important to note the distinction between coaching and therapy and the potential need for certifications in the latter. To help someone find a partner or improve their relationship, potential steps could include understanding their goals and preferences, optimizing their dating app profile, and providing guidance on effective communication and conflict resolution. However, it's crucial to be aware of the distinction between coaching and therapy and the potential need for certifications when dealing with sensitive mental health issues.
Ali's 7-step relationship method: Ali's intensive coaching program helps individuals find a partner within six months through weekly check-ins and personal growth investment.
Ali offers a seven-step relationship method that includes revamping friends' Hinge profiles, attending meetups, debriefing after dates, and following a consistent dating schedule. The process is designed to help individuals find a partner within six months through a combination of intensive coaching sessions and weekly check-ins. The pricing for this service is a consideration for Ali, who feels uncomfortable charging for relationship advice due to his lack of formal qualifications. However, he encourages considering the value of the service and the potential impact it could have on clients' lives. Ali's method emphasizes investing in personal growth and relationships, and he believes that the value of the service lies in the transformation it provides.
Charging more leads to committed clients and better results: Higher fees lead to more committed clients, better results, a sustainable practice, and appropriate valuation of time and expertise.
When it comes to coaching, charging higher fees leads to more committed clients who are more likely to see better results. This not only results in a more sustainable and profitable coaching practice, but also allows the coach to value their time and expertise appropriately. It's important to remember that people often undervalue their worth when setting prices intellectually, and the subconscious mind may reveal a different, more accurate number. To find this number, one can use a method like the Jedi mind trick, starting at a lower price and gradually increasing it until a comfortable, yet challenging, number is reached. This number is likely to be higher than initially thought, and the conversion rate for coaching services is typically around 20-40%.
Determining the number of clients needed for financial goals with capacity-based pricing: Set financial goals, divide by desired price to find client count, ensure deliverable results, and be willing to refund if clients don't meet goals.
Setting a financial goal for your coaching business is important, but it's equally crucial to consider your capacity to service that amount of clients. Capacity-based pricing involves determining your financial goal and dividing it by the price you plan to charge, revealing the number of clients you need to reach that goal. However, if the number of clients required exceeds your capacity, you may need to reconsider your pricing or client volume. It's essential to have confidence in your ability to deliver transformational results and be willing to refund clients if they don't meet their goals, as long as they follow the agreed-upon terms. By focusing on capacity-based pricing and client transformation, you can build a sustainable and successful coaching business.
Focusing on a specific niche increases business feasibility: Identifying a target audience in a specific industry can make a business idea more viable by recognizing potential clients with disposable income and adjusting offerings accordingly.
Identifying a specific niche and target audience can make starting a business more feasible. In this discussion, the speaker considered offering a dating coaching program for individuals with disposable income, specifically those in finance and tech industries. By focusing on this niche, the speaker recognized that there were potential clients who could afford the service, making the business idea more viable. Additionally, the speaker suggested creating a group program or membership for individuals in helping professions, such as doctors and nurses, at a reduced rate to give back and still generate revenue. Overall, identifying a specific target audience and adjusting offerings accordingly can increase the chances of business success.
Identifying Your Ideal Clients and Finding Them Online: To build a successful coaching business, identify your ideal clients, understand their behaviors and demographics, and find them online through targeted marketing efforts.
To build a successful coaching business, it's essential to identify your ideal clients and understand their behaviors, demographics, and identity. By knowing where they hang out and what they're interested in, you can effectively market your services to them. For instance, if your ideal clients are doctors and nurses, you might find them on dating sites or in professional networks. However, if your identity resonates with socially awkward individuals seeking help with dating profiles, you might find them in online communities or through targeted social media ads. The key is to leverage your unique selling proposition and communication skills to convince potential clients that your coaching program is worth the investment. To get started, aim to secure one client per month by conducting 5 consultations with prospective clients. Remember, marketing 101 involves identifying your audience, understanding their behaviors, and finding them where they hang out.
Identifying Your Ideal Client and Their Online Habits: Focus on ideal clients' identity, target online hangouts, be tenacious and consistent, offer free resources, build social proof, make it easy to find you
Identifying your ideal client and understanding their online habits is crucial for effective marketing. Your ideal client may not be the popular jock from school but rather the top academic who was in the bottom set for PE. Finding these "nerds" requires focusing on their identity rather than demographics and psychographics. Once identified, you can target your marketing towards their online hangouts. Be tenacious and consistent in your messaging, as repetition can help build rapport and familiarity with your brand. For instance, offering a free resource, like a Google Doc with a 7-step process, can attract potential clients who are excited about the process but lack the confidence to execute it on their own. Building social proof through success stories and a community can further strengthen your online presence. Remember, in today's busy world, making it easy for your ideal clients to find you is essential.

Turning a unique skill into a coaching business: Identify target audience, find them online, engage consistently, overcome challenges with determination.
With the right approach and resources, it's possible to turn a unique skill or expertise into a successful coaching business, even if you don't have immediate access to a large network or audience. Leveraging platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn for lead generation and potentially expanding into group coaching programs can help reach and help more people. The key is to identify a target audience, figure out where they are, and consistently engage with them. While there may be challenges, such as learning new technologies or dealing with competition, with determination and persistence, it's possible to turn lead generation into a successful coaching business.
Understanding Numbers is Crucial for Business Success: Business owners should grasp the basics of numbers, like taxes and profit distribution, to make informed decisions and avoid unexpected expenses. Implementing methods like Profit First can help manage finances effectively. Focus on increasing revenue and keeping expenses in check to maintain financial stability.
Business involves numbers in every aspect, and understanding them is crucial for responsible delegation and financial success. Business owners should aim to grasp the basics of numbers, such as taxes and profit distribution, to make informed decisions and avoid unexpected expenses. Mike Michalowicz's Profit First method, which includes setting aside funds for taxes and savings, can help manage finances effectively. A cash flow problem is not the real issue when revenue and expenses are closely matched; instead, focus on increasing revenue and keeping expenses in check. Bootstrapping and careful spending on marketing are essential for maintaining financial stability.
Quality Clients and Focused Marketing: Focusing on quality clients and smart marketing can lead to better business results, less stress, and more opportunities for pro bono work or reinvestment.
While it can be tempting to focus on acquiring as many clients as possible, it's important to consider the quality of those clients and the impact on your business. A smaller client base that pays well can lead to better results, less stress, and more time for pro bono work or reinvestment in the business. Additionally, marketing efforts should be savvy and focused on what works best for your business, rather than spreading resources too thin. Lastly, while being good with numbers is often seen as crucial for business success, it's not always the case. Those who struggle with numbers can find support and make up for it in other areas of the business. It's important to remember that being good with numbers is not a prerequisite for running a successful business.
Understanding Financial Basics for Your Business: Starting a business involves understanding financial basics like turnover and net profit, even if it's a side hustle. Some may register a company and VAT right away, while others can start simple and grow over time. Personal goals and risk tolerance should guide financial decisions.
Understanding financial basics, such as turnover and net profit, is crucial for any business, even when starting as a side hustle. Initially, one doesn't need to register the business, make a business bank account, or have a website. However, keeping things simple might not be the right approach for everyone. Some individuals may want to set up a limited company and register for VAT from the start to achieve long-term goals. The process of figuring out a business model, identifying the target market, and taking action can take varying lengths of time, depending on individual circumstances and resources. It might be a one-session process for some, while others might need several months to achieve their goals. Ultimately, it's essential to understand the financial aspects of a business and make informed decisions based on personal goals and risk tolerance.
Unfair compensation and unclear expectations with hourly pricing: Hourly pricing can lead to undercompensation for consultants and unclear project expectations for clients. Consider a value-based pricing model to ensure fair compensation and a win-win situation for both parties.
Hourly pricing in consulting or creative services can lead to unfair compensation and unclear project expectations for both parties involved. The discussion highlights two contrasting scenarios: one where a consultant underdelivers due to undercharging, and another where a more experienced consultant is paid less than a less experienced one for the same project. The third scenario illustrates a value-based pricing model where the consultant delivers significant results and guarantees a return on investment for the client. This approach not only ensures fair compensation for the consultant but also creates a win-win situation for the client.
Prioritizing Client Needs and Building a Strong Business Foundation: Focus on client needs with a results-based pricing model, build a solid team, clear systems, and consistent income, and view rejection as an opportunity to refine approach.
When it comes to running a successful business, it's crucial to prioritize the client's needs above your own. Hourly pricing may seem like an easy option, but it can hinder your ability to fully serve your clients and deliver remarkable results. Instead, consider a results-based pricing model, where you're compensated based on the value you bring to the table. During the discussion, it was also emphasized that fear of rejection and a focus on the self can negatively impact your business. When you're operating from a place of fear, you're not fully present for your clients, and they may sense that. Instead, focus on building solid foundations for your business, including a strong team, clear systems and processes, and a consistent income. Additionally, it's important to remember that when a potential client says no, it's not a personal rejection. Instead, they may not see the value that your business offers at that moment in time. Keep refining your approach and continue to deliver value, and eventually, you'll find the right fit. Overall, prioritizing the client experience, focusing on results, and building a strong foundation for your business are key components of a successful business model.
Introduce offer or pitch at beginning of presentation: Starting with an offer or pitch can be off-putting. Introduce it at the beginning to gauge audience's readiness and engagement, and use it as an icebreaker.
Presenting an offer or pitch at the end of a presentation can be off-putting for audiences. Instead, it's recommended to introduce the offer or pitch at the beginning of the presentation. This approach allows the audience to measure the value of the presentation against the offer and can serve as an icebreaker or engagement tool. Additionally, providing a quiz or assessment at the start of the presentation can help gauge the audience's readiness and knowledge on the topic, making them more likely to pay attention and engage with the content. This strategy can lead to better results and a more relaxed presentation experience for both the presenter and the audience. This approach is supported by research on learning design and the diffusion of innovation. Presenters like Simon Sinek and Frank Kern have also advocated for this approach in their presentations and marketing strategies.
Resistance to taking action towards personal growth: Despite the importance of following advice for growth, many people resist taking the first step, even when it's from trusted sources.
There's a natural resistance to taking actionable steps towards personal growth and success, even when the information and guidance come from trusted sources. This resistance was highlighted in a speaker's presentation about the book "The Richest Man in Babylon," where he urged the audience to buy and follow the steps in the book to achieve wealth. Despite the speaker's credibility and the large audience, only a small percentage actually took the first step and bought the book. This phenomenon was also observed in a YouTube video by streamer Ludwig, who emphasized the importance of pausing the video and answering certain questions to become a successful streamer. The failure to take this simple action was seen as a significant barrier to success. The resistance to following advice in the "make money" realm might be due to preconceived ideas and skepticism towards these types of coaches or business gurus. However, it's essential to recognize that taking the first step, no matter how small, is crucial for progress and growth.
Learn by doing: sell something to get started: Selling a product or service teaches essential skills and provides valuable insights. The sales process, despite risks, offers significant rewards.
The best way to learn about running a business is by getting out there and selling something, no matter how small. Through the process of marketing, selling, onboarding, client fulfillment, and receiving feedback, you'll learn essential skills and gain valuable insights about yourself and your business. The sales process holds perils, such as rejection or negative feedback, but the risks are minimal compared to the potential rewards. Additionally, it's important to understand that there are only a few fundamental business models, such as service-based or product-based businesses, and simplifying your focus can help you get started more effectively. Passive income, while appealing, ultimately relies on active income and the skills gained through the sales process.
Building a connection with potential clients: Offer a free consultation to gauge fit, maintain transparency about pricing, and address red flags with care to build a productive and beneficial relationship
When it comes to selling products or services, building a connection with potential clients is crucial. This can be done through various means, such as a pitch at the beginning of a presentation, a free consultation to gauge fit, and maintaining transparency about pricing. Fear of the transaction process can be eliminated by offering a free consultation, which allows both parties to determine if it's a good fit. However, a structured process should still be in place for the consultation, with a focus on interviewing each other to ensure a productive and beneficial relationship. Red flags, such as excessive focus on price or a history of unsuccessful relationships with similar services, should be addressed and handled with care. Ultimately, the goal is to put the client's best interests first and provide them with the tools and guidance they need to succeed, even if that means referring them to a competitor.
Effectively addressing concerns in sales calls: Identify fit, manage expectations, and use expert techniques like telesales training, gap selling, and Socratic selling to facilitate open conversations, pitch offers, and handle objections.
Effective communication and addressing concerns are crucial elements in the sales process. During sales calls, it's essential to identify if the fit is right and manage expectations. Addressing concerns, also known as objections, can be done through open conversations. These conversations can be facilitated by studying sales techniques from experts like Benjamin Dehaney, David the Sales Angel, or Chris Do. Their methods, such as telesales training, gap selling, and Socratic selling, provide valuable insights into starting and maintaining conversations, pitching offers, and handling objections. By adapting these techniques and maintaining a flexible approach, sales professionals can effectively guide potential clients through the sales process.
Launch an MVP early to gather feedback: Focus on creating an MVP, launch it early, gather feedback, and continuously improve to build an audience.
It's essential to create a minimum viable product (MVP) and launch it as early as possible to gather feedback and improve it, rather than spending months designing a perfect product before launching. This approach allows for continuous improvement and audience building. Comparisonitis, or comparing oneself to others, can be a major obstacle for entrepreneurs and should be avoided. Every individual has something unique to offer, and focusing on this can help overcome self-doubt and imposter syndrome. When starting a business, it's important to remember that challenges, potential failures, and hard work are inevitable, and it's crucial not to let these fears stop us before we've even begun.
Overcoming Imposter Syndrome in Relationship Coaching: Use OKRs to break down larger goals into manageable steps, remind yourself of personal truths to boost confidence, and use 'I am' statements for future goals to make them feel attainable.
Starting a business, especially in a competitive field like relationship coaching, can be intimidating. It's natural to compare yourself to others and feel imposter syndrome. However, with determination and a clear vision, you can overcome these fears and make progress towards your goals. The use of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) can help break down larger objectives into manageable steps. For example, if your goal is to have a successful dating coaching business, the first step might be getting your first client. By focusing on small, achievable goals, you can build confidence and momentum. Another helpful exercise is to remind yourself of your personal truths. These are things that are true about you, regardless of external circumstances. By acknowledging and embracing these truths, you can boost your self-confidence and resilience. When setting future goals, it's important to use "I am" statements instead of "I will" statements. This helps you treat your goals as already achieved and can make them feel more attainable. Overall, with a clear vision, determination, and a focus on small, achievable steps, you can overcome imposter syndrome and make progress towards your goals in the relationship coaching business or any other field.
Believing in yourself and taking small steps towards goals despite self-doubt: Confidence, self-worth, addressing fears, and effective time management are essential for personal growth and success.
Believing in yourself and taking small steps towards your goals, even when faced with self-doubt, can lead to significant progress and future gratitude. Confidence and self-worth are essential foundations for personal growth and achieving success. Additionally, understanding that fear is a natural obstacle that can be addressed, rather than a reason to give up, is crucial. Robin Waite, the Fearless Business Coach, emphasizes this concept, as his business name stems from his belief that we should fear the things that hold us back slightly less. Another key takeaway is the importance of managing time effectively, especially when juggling personal and professional responsibilities. As Robin shared, having children brought a new perspective on priorities, and he had to make compromises to ensure a balanced life. He advises optimizing time in your twenties to be better prepared for the challenges that come with having a family. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of self-confidence, addressing fears, and effectively managing time to achieve personal and professional growth.
Entrepreneur shares insights on balancing work and family: Entrepreneur reflects on past experiences, emphasizes importance of sustainable revenue, fitness, and learning from mistakes for work-life balance.
Starting businesses and having a family can be a complex balance. The entrepreneur, in this case, reflects on his past experiences and wishes he had prioritized sustainable recurring revenue and fitness earlier in his career. He also shares how his upbringing influenced his work ethic and the challenges of balancing work and family life. The entrepreneur emphasizes the importance of learning from past mistakes and helping others avoid them. He also highlights the significance of maintaining fitness and health before having children to make maintaining it easier in the long run. Overall, the conversation underscores the importance of intentionality, balance, and learning from past experiences.
Finding Balance Between Work and Family: It's essential to find a balance between work and family, not letting work consume us completely and neglect our relationships and health. Remember, work should not be an excuse to ignore responsibilities at home.
Finding a balance between work and family is a common challenge for many individuals, especially for those who are passionate about their work. The work environment can be serious, focused, and all-consuming, while family life is often playful, exploratory, and fun. However, it's essential not to let work consume us completely and neglect our relationships and health. The guilt around working harder to provide a better life for our families can be a significant barrier, but it's crucial to remember that work should not be an excuse to ignore our responsibilities at home. The natural instinct to overinvest in work and underinvest in relationships is a common pattern, but it's essential to fight against this inertia and be open to breaking free from the provider trait that can be toxic for men. Men, in particular, can use work as a way to hide from problems and challenges in their lives. Understanding the reasons why we turn to work and being aware of the potential harm it can cause is the first step towards leading happier, more balanced lives.
Focus on joy and impact in entrepreneurship: Entrepreneurship is about finding joy and making an impact, not a constant struggle. Delegate or outsource less enjoyable tasks, and continuously learn to grow.
Entrepreneurship can provide a fulfilling and flexible career, but it's essential not to confuse work and entrepreneurship. To have a successful and balanced entrepreneurial journey, focus on the aspects of your business that bring you the most joy and impact, while delegating or outsourcing the less enjoyable tasks. Entrepreneurship should not be a grind or a constant struggle, but rather a flow state where you can help people, earn a good living, and learn new things. Remember, the benefits of entrepreneurship, such as freedom and flexibility, can become vices if taken to an extreme. So, fill your work life with activities that are 10 out of 10 for you, and don't hesitate to ask for help when needed. Lastly, continuous learning is crucial, so never stop reading, learning, and seeking mentorship to grow both personally and professionally.
Investing in mentors and education for personal growth: Pay off ignorance debt by learning from those who have already made mistakes and prioritize health and well-being for successful leadership
Investing in mentors and education, whether it's through books or personal coaching, can significantly accelerate your learning and personal growth, particularly in business. The speaker shared his personal experience of discovering the value of Russell Brunson's "Dotcom Secrets" book, which he had ignored for years, and how it transformed his perspective on marketing. He emphasized the importance of paying off "ignorance debt" by doing the thing and learning from those who have already made mistakes. The speaker also highlighted the importance of health and well-being as a crucial aspect of becoming a successful leader. In the context of the discussion, the speaker and Ali are giving away 15 copies of the speaker's book, "Take A Shot," which tells a parable about a golf professional's journey to growth with the help of a coach. The book offers insights into the challenges and pain points of growing a business and the importance of having a mentor to help you play out your dreams and ambitions.
