I want you to be 100% honest with yourself about this question... When you really look at the bottom line of your business, does the revenue you're generating reflect the amount of time and effort you put in on a daily basis? If you're completely satisfied and believe your efforts are paying off in a big way, then hats off to you and keep up the great work! But... If you're thinking any of the following, then this may be for you: I'm posting content every day on social media consistently, but the return on my time is little to none... I'm doing everything the experts are recommending to me, yet I haven't seen any results... I've built a small email list that I send emails to regularly, but open rates are low and I haven't seen much progress there... I'm doing live streams and Instagram lives to connect and engage with my audience, yet my following remains the same and my online presence remains low... I work hard every day on my business, but often feel discouraged because I don't feel like my efforts are truly paying off... If you can relate to any of the circumstances above, then you're in for a treat... I created a video specifically explaining..."How You Can Make More, Doing Less!" It's time you take back control of your precious time, and begin spending it in areas that matter most.

I don’t recommend using your money to pay off your credit card bills unless you don’t do anything I’m about to share with you. With that said... The most important question you can ask yourself is "How Can I Leverage My $1,200 Stimulus Check, That'll Allow Me To Cash Out On An Even Bigger Payday." Well, I got ya covered... Tune into today's podcast as I share 5 creative ways you can leverage your stimulus check for more CHA-CHING.

5 Ways To Multiply Your Stimulus Check For An Ever Bigger Payday

[Disclaimer]: I am not a financial advisor. Views shared within this email and the video are solely my opinion. Please seek a professional financial advisor before making any investment decisions. All right..here it is: 1.What I normally do is try and find a good deal in the market. What is a growing consistently and a stock that is currently undervalued in the market? I find this by looking at the stock chart in my phone. Find the average value of the stock over the past 2 years and see if you can find one undervalue. 2. Why did this stock drop? Bad financial reports or because someone randomly sold out of their shares? Or in this case...an economic crash? Make sure it’s not because the company is losing tons of profits or having any major red flag issues. 3. Do I personally have experience with this company? Do I believe in the future growth of this company? Choose companies you personally can see the success of. For example, restaurants you eat at, stores that you shop from, softwares that you use...etc. 4. Do I believe other people have confidence in the company so they continue to buy this stock? Choose a company that other people also find favor with. What causes a stock to rise is not necessarily the “profitability”. It’s when other people think it’s valuable and they invest their money so the demand for the stock goes up. 5. If I invest this money can I afford to leave this in the market for at least 2-3 years? Don’t be in for the short term unless you can afford to take a higher risk. The longer you are able to leave your money in the market, the better chance you have to get a positive return. Once the stock reaches the goal you’ve set, you can trade it or hold on to cash out in later years. So let’s do an illustration: Let’s say you invest $10,000 in Red Robin @ $10 a share. Now you own 1,000 Red Robin shares($10,000/$10 per share=1,000 shares). Then, two years go by and the share price goes from $10 to $30. Now, those 1,000 shares you originally purchased are now worth $30,000(Before $10 x 1,000 shares =$10,000...After $30 x 1,000 shares =$30,000). That’s the type of opportunity we are in right now! Whatever you do...don’t put all your eggs in one basket and don’t invest money you can’t afford to lose! With that said… Happy investing, and I hope the video above brings much-needed clarity on how to invest in your first stock before the crash is over! -Adam

How To Invest In Your First Stocks Before The Crash Is Over

As entrepreneurs, we often hear the phrase "Purpose Driven," but what exactly does this mean? To be honest... I believe it's those who have a big heart and desire to help and serve people in the world. Those who aren't driven solely by money, but allow the amount of money earned to be a direct correlation to the impact they've had on others. Along my journey i've been able to build a 7-figure business, but it's not the money i'm most proud of. It's the lives and hearts of everybody we've been able to touch in a positive way. Right now, you have everything within you to begin fulfilling your purpose. Because here's one thing I know about you... You have a story, you have gifts, and a specific purpose to help those in the world who so desperately need you. But first, you're going to have to answer some key questions that will get you on the path to fulfilling that purpose! Today's episode I'll be diving deep into the "Top Ten Questions" you MUST ask yourself to fulfill your purpose! Here are a few questions I'll be answering: Why do other people need you? Who is it that you're suppose to help? How do you reach the people that need you most? Once you find the people that need you, what is it that you offer them? What systems and processes are needed to serve your audience? What other people can join you on your mission? As we begin the new year, it's imperative that you become crystal clear on your purpose and how your purpose can lead to more cash flow in your business. You can't miss out on this episode!

Purpose Driven To A Million

Welcome to episode #10 “Packaging S.M.A.R.T Offers!" I’m super excited to share this episode with you, and here's why... What i’ve noticed is that most entrepreneurs have great products and services, but haven't positioned their offers for maximum profitability. Most service-based entrepreneurs are either charging per session or by the hour. By the way, you NEVER want to charge by the hour! Let me explain... Let's say John has a photography business that he charges $75/hour. If he has 4 clients at a minimum of 3/hours per shoot, his total sales would be $900($75 x 3hours x 4clients). For some of you, you may be thinking $75/hour is great. But, what if I told you John left $9,100 on the table. This is where Productizing your services comes into play... Let's say John is not only offering his photography services, but he'll also post on his clients social media platforms, create custom-graphics, and also generate title headlines. Instantly, this separates John from other photographers because no one else is offering this package deal. Now, John can charge $2500/month per client placing him at a grand total of $10,000($2500 x 4clients). That's the difference between a house in the hills, and living at home with mom and dad. That's the difference between a Honda Accord, and an E-Class Mercedes Benz. But most importantly, did you notice the shift? With productizing his services, his business immediately became structured around the RESULT and not just the service being provided. Now, his clients will save countless hours of creating graphics and social media posts investing in John's new package. Focusing your packages on the results you bring, will justify to your customers why they should pay more for your services. This one shift alone took my company to over 400% growth in a single year. There was a time where I was charging just $300/month for one on one coaching(I can hear you laughing at me from home). But, I knew my business wasn't sustainable at only $300/month. So, I began productizing the services we offer and now our company has seen 100% growth year over year just by making this one pivot. My message to you is working hard is great, but you have to know when to pivot and begin working SMART. I'm here to push you every step of your journey, and I look forward to hearing the positive impact this episode had on your business.

Welcome to episode #9 “How To Pivot To Profit!" If I had to rate the importance of this episode, it would be a 10+++! Here's why... What i’ve noticed in my 12 years of business is that most entrepreneurs fail not because they have a bad idea or even a bad business model, but most fail due to an inability to adapt and change when necessary. Keep in mind, we are in the digital age where systems and technology are constantly changing and improving. You can either play the game to win, or get left behind due to a lack of innovation.  I don't want you to fall into that TRAP! John F. Kennedy stated it best when he said "Change is the law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future." The reason why i'm so passionate about this episode is because I faced these same challenges multiple times within my business. Looking back now, there were times where if I hadn't changed certain processes and systems within my business I would have lost everything. It took mentors that cared enough about me to bring awareness to my business, before it was too late. If I may, I would like to be that mentor for you! I won't claim to have all the answers, because I don't! What I can tell you is that I have been through this process enough to confidently share some key nuggets that will reveal the importance of pivoting within your business.

Welcome to episode #8 “Getting Clarity On Your Optimal Selling Process” I’m super excited to share this episode with you! What i’ve noticed is that a lot of entrepreneurs are very ambitious and have many goals, but are spreading themselves too thin. They’re going to networking events, posting content on social, but nothing seems to crack the code. This feeling drove me crazy, but… I finally cracked the code! I got CRYSTAL CLEAR on my “Optimal Selling Process”(OSP). This was an absolute game changer for me. My only hope is that by the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear path to get you scaling your business to the next level. There are 5 key buckets that you can drive your traffic into. Direct all your focus to filling one of these buckets. 1.Workshops(Conversions are typically 20%) 2.Live Web Classes(Conversions are typically 10%) 3.Ascension Funnels (Conversions are typically 1-3%) 4.Live Events (Conversions are typically 20-30%) 5.Demo Presentations (Conversions are typically 20-30%) Part of building a SMART business is being aware of your bucket, staying focused on driving traffic, and finally getting to a level of mastery. There was a time where I was all over the place. I was running workshops, trying learn funnels, posting content on social media and I was never able to master anything. Finally I got clear on one bucket, mastered it, and then move on to the next bucket until i optimized all five. In order to reach your level of mastery you must stay focused on ONE thing first!

How To Reinvest In Your Business The SMART Way

I want to welcome you to episode #4 “Why Marketing is Failing You.” I’m really excited to bring you guys today’s special guest THE Tim Chesonis, expert copywriter and marketing guru. So… Why is marketing failing you?… One of the biggest reasons is because we’re focusing so much on the tactics and trends of marketing, that we lose sight of fulfilling the needs of our audience. We see other influencers using certain tactics and automatically assume we have to implement them into our own business in order to succeed. How do you shift this perspective? By getting clarity on your messaging, focus on providing specific results, and creating an authentic connection that is in alignment with your target audience. Here’s a question to think about as you listen to this podcast. Where am I currently at on my journey, what message am I trying to get across to my audience and which vehicle will give me the best opportunity at connecting with them.   Here’s a quick timeline:   (1:07) Why the “Influencer” marketing tactics aren’t working for your business. (2:20) How to connect with your audience using the 3-D model “The DREAM, The DRAIN, The DOUBT.” (6:57) The importance of speaking directly to your target audience. (8:02) A BIG reason why marketing is failing you. (10:02) Why RE-targeting is key for consistent messaging. (12:20) Why it’s important to be known for your message. (14:24) Should I start with a FREE product first or should I charge from the beginning? (16:37)17:15 The incorrect way to model after other influencers

Building Teams and Revenue Streams

I had so many beliefs that were holding me back such as:   -How in the world can I ever replace myself -How in the world can I ever train someone to sell for me? -How Can I teach someone else to generate a Lead -How Can I Create a Process that Can Move without Me   So I was at war with the thought that anyone could ever replace me.   But I began to switch my questions and my focus…   Who can replace me? Who Can Sell for Me? Who Can Generate Leads for ME? WHo Can Serve My Clients for ME?   The Switch in Focus allowed me to have so much leverage in our business and the lid over our growth and income began to pop off for the first time.   Are You Ready to Lift the Lid Off of Your Business and Build it SMART?
