In This Episode You Will Learn About: Why speeding up the sales process won’t work Building a nurturing sequence Creating a manual exchange   Resources: Join our Fastermind by texting the word “FASTER” to 310-421-0416   Show Notes: Let’s talk about something that’s going to help you make more sales. If you own (or aspire to own) a business, if you want to make more money, if you sell anything (and even if you have a job), this advice is for you. The number one problem we’re seeing people run into in their business is missed launch goals, missed sales goals, or just a complete lack of sales altogether. When we dissect each of these scenarios with our coaching clients, what we’re seeing is this: people are rushing the process. They don’t spend time developing relationships with their audience. There are two ways you can nurture your audience and slow down your process to turn each “no” into a “yes”. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Doing things you don’t want to The compounding effect of small things How compound interest works   Resources: Text “DAILY” to 310-421-0416 to receive a daily money mantra for free   Show Notes: A few small things, when done consistently, can build up into massive results. When you start your day off by accomplishing one small goal that you weren’t planning on doing, it compounds into feeling better and performing better for the rest of the day, which starts tomorrow off better, which leads to a better week, and so on. It is no different from the effects of compounding interest. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The problem with high expectations Being OK with doing less The law of diminishing returns   Resources: Text “DAILY” to 310-421-0416 to receive a daily money mantra for free   Show Notes: I have high expectations of myself. I expect to be full of energy all the time, to be happy by default, and dreaming big every day. And, honestly, most of the time I meet those expectations, but the problem with having such high expectations is that we can’t meet them every single day – it’s literally not possible. And when we don’t, we beat ourselves up. How do we reconcile trying to be at our best all the time while giving ourselves valid permission to run on different wavelengths when needed? In this episode, I discuss the delicate balance. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Defining success The four riches that contribute to success Mathematically measuring success   Resources: Text “DAILY” to 310-421-0416 to get a positive message around money or business every morning.   Show Notes: How do you measure success? First, let’s acknowledge something important: there is a massive difference between being rich and being successful. “Successful” is a very subjective and polarizing term. To some people, being healthy and happy and having a loving family is the definition of success. But someone else might disagree. That may not be enough – or even a part of – success to them. The word means something different to everyone, but regardless of how you define it, success is one thing we all want. To know the difference between wealthy and successful, it’s important to understand the four riches. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

These simple things have made such a difference, and that most recent trip completely shifted our energy.

Whoever you are, own it, and implement the tools we’re going to share with you to manufacture motivation whenever you need it.
