If you are an ambitious person you're always going to have lots of opportunity and it's so easy to say yes to everything. And if you say yes to most things the best you will be is good at those things, but if you want to truly do something monumental, something great then you need to hone your talents and energy into one thing."
Paul and I have an honest conversation about love and business relationships, including Paul's take on:
-
the best lessons he's learned from spending time with not 1, not 2, but 3 different billionaires
-
his biggest struggle in business and public life
-
how to balance personal and business relationships
-
his best advice for multi-passionate, 'multi-preneurs'
-
the best way to expand our networks
-
his biggest pain from watching his grandfather's life
-
his response to listener question on business partnership and love from @WriterChanelle
-
and so much more
"If a potential buyer says that something is too expensive, it's generally because I didn't help them see the value in the offer." It's just that type of clear-headed straight talk that has made Donald C. Kelly not only a successful salesperson in his own right, but an amazing instructor and teacher of sales.
Donald walks us through the processes for completing a sale, including overcoming our own emotional or psychological barriers for making a sale.
Just heard @DonaldCKelly on the @herpowerhustle #podcast. My biggest takeaway was...

"I live a life that is unexpected...tomorrow when you wake up if you're not where you want to be, then in that very moment do unexpected things in your life. You must make changes to get where you want to end up."
Anthony Trucks asks his clients--and us--one simple question: 'Do you want to be remembered in life for doing something you're not yet doing?' Anthony Trucks went into foster care at age 6, was adopted at 15, then went on to be a linebacker in the NFL, only to be injured, start a business and watch his marriage fall apart. But that's only part of the story. Anthony shares his story as a testament to the greatness that is inside of each of us. He joins me to talk about living triumphantly through the application of L.I.F.T. and what it means to Trust Your Hustle. You shouldn't judge a book by its cover...well, Anthony is an open book with us, sharing things he's never shared before publicly.
Anthony and I chat about:
- His life transitions from foster care to adoption to playing in the NFL then being injured to Trusting his Hustle
- How we can use prior successes to bolster us for future successes and how to defeat negative self-talk
- Creating a life of service
- The importance of investing in personal development, he's spent $70,000 in past year on education
- And much, much more

"Steve Jobs taught people to pay for content online [through the Apple Store.]"
"I tried a few different businesses before launching Foundr Magazine for Young Entrepreneurs. I even tried to sell cologne reviews online!!"
Nathan Chan knew he wanted to feel more fulfilled in his life. He wasn't happy with his job and wanted more. He read loads of books and articles about being an entrepreneur but didn't implement most of what he learned. He searched for a guide to help him start but couldn't find what he needed, so he created it. Foundr Magazine was created to help young entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses. Just over a year ago Nathan quit his full-time job and now focuses full-time on creating products to help entrepreneurs.
He is well versed in many areas, but we've chosen to go deep on how to build a successful online subscription-based publication AND how to increase your Instagram following with engaged followers, who become not only rabid fans, but paying customers.
Sister Power Hustler, Eryka, Publisher of the online beauty, fashion and art publication for today's women of color, Fabulize Mag, submitted some great targeted questions that Nathan answers with a level of detail that will help anyone create a thriving online magazine--and business.
Nathan and I chat about:
- What it took for a risk-averse person like himself to leave his 'day job' and focus completely on what was then his side hustle
- How to start a digital publication, from choice of platform, to content and marketing, to team building
- Why he suggests that we give away our best stuff for free
- Knowing your market and knowing your competitors
- The power of social proof and leveraging when you're new in business and to enter new markets
- His proven process for gaining over 10,000 real and engaged Instagram followers IN 2 WEEKS!!!! (and moreover how you can too)
- And much, much more
I just learned so much from @FoundrMag. My biggest takeaway was...

The $10,000 Way to Describe your Business
In 2013, Gwen Jimmere was in the midst of a tumultuous divorce, had a young son and had just been laid off from her job. Her mortgage was due in 15 days. Then she had an idea. She would approach a newly built Whole Foods store near her home and pitch them to carry her homemade hair care products, Naturalicious. Whole Foods said yes. In 2014, just a year later, Gwen walked away from the Black Enterprise Entrepreneurs Conference with a $10,000 check and a six-month mentorship with Black Enterprise Senior VP/Chief Content Officer Alfred A. Edmond, Jr. Naturalicious is now sold internationally.
Gwen gives insight for you:
- To craft a winning pitch
- To leverage 'not winning' pitch a competition
- About what it took for her to be placed in Whole Foods AND how she leveraged that relationship
- On her views on getting feedback
- To market successfully in a saturated market
- And a host of resources that you'll want to start reading immediately!
In a business pitch competition you're pitching to the room.

It doesn't have to be painful...We're talking taxes, legal issues and all of things that we need to know to avoid headaches and keep what we earn in our businesses!

In layperson's terms John helps us understand:

- How to protect your asset aka your business when working with business partners
- Cost-saving tips to protect your asset
- Your business is an asset and how to preserve its value
- Flat fee, equity and hourly fee arrangements
- The difference between using online forms and in-person legal services tailored to your issues
- And so much more!

Episode Summary
While a Captain in the Israeli Army, Julie Sheranosher broke her back...TWICE! Her doctor told her that if she didn't drastically reduce her 18-hour workday down to a maximum of FOUR HOURS! she would greet her 30th birthday in a wheelchair. Julie needed to make some changes in her life. What starts as a conversation about 'time hacking' and creating ways to be more productive, quickly turns into a chat between girlfriends about control, surrender and what really matters in life.
Most people overestimate what they can do in one day and underestimate what they can do in one year.
~ Bill Gates as modified by Jayson Gaignard
