If you attended Podcast Movement 2016 in Chicago, then you don't need me to share with you that it was the BEST Podcast Movement yet.

Conclusion: it's doesn't always work out the way you expected - even if you plan your butt off. Prioritizing is super important. Without your ONE focus, it's going to be super tough to make any progress towards your goals. Balancing work and life is a constant; there will never be a time when you're completely balanced and just get to turn it on auto-pilot. My #1 piece of advice? Always give whatever you're doing right now 100% of your focus. It'll make your time at work and your time with your family so much more enjoyable, productive, and meaningful. Tune in as I share a very unconventional recap of how I'm attempting to handle prioritizing, work and life.

When you're looking to create a platform where your community can come together, support one another and provide feedback to one another, a Facebook group is an amazing option. But creating the actual group is half the battle. Actually managing it, creating guidelines, making sure your members are engaged - this is not easy to do. In this episode I talk specifically about the 'no self-promotion' guideline that we have in every one of our Private Facebook group communities, including how to enforce it, and what to do when people don't understand what no self-promotion means.

There are bigger, overarching systems every business should have in order to build a strong foundation and operate most efficiently. In fact, most of the smaller, more specific systems you create will sit under the umbrella of these bigger systems, so the bigger systems are a great place to start if you're creating systems for the first time. In this episode I share the steps for each of the top 5 systems every business should have. Post that accompanies this episode: http://www.eofire.com/season2 Buy The Fire Path book on Amazon!

In this bonus episode I lay out a system for something much bigger than an individual task or project; I lay out a system for marketing and promotion.

I've struggled with this for pretty much my entire life. It has caused me to make decisions that I knew in my heart weren't right, and in recent years it has proven to me that I'm the only person in the entire world who is responsible for my current situation AND my future. I'll call it a realization - one that has literally changed my life. Because now that I know it, I can no longer make excuses or dodge the fact that how I'm feeling, where I am, and what I'm doing is up to me - and me alone - to determine. This is my story, and it has helped me realize the major limiting beliefs that have held me back, and it's also helped me discover the pivotal moments in my life that have had a huge impact on helping me get to where I am today. You have a story, too, and in this episode, I encourage you to tell that story so you can discover the things that might be holding you back.
