This is the typical conversation we have in our head when entering a room full of new people whether to work, speak on stage or in pretty much any social environment.
We often don't feel adequate, justified to be there or we lack the self-confidence to see outside the box we have created.
The problem is that this issue will force people to see others and social situations as a place or environment that's not for them. They will increasingly shy away even if there is nothing to worry about.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
You can walk into any room and dominate all it takes is a new mindset and a new way of approaching situations in the public eye.
Turn in for this week's podcast to find out exactly how to shift into that mindset!

On to pursue medical school I realized it was too focused on medication and less on overall wellness, which was the passion I had been born into.
Then the birth of StoneAgeFuel as a blog that resulted in traveling to do seminars all over the country and finally a brick and mortar business.
After close to 1000 conversations with people to enter our programs I realized that people needed an advocate to tell them they are okay, they are good enough and that this is their lives to live.
That was the birth of using my voice via ChansLogic to help people realize their true greatness and potential and to build this Culture of Care!

]]>But the problem is it's not that simple.
When you go through life feeling stuck like you have no way out or that you're at the bottom of a well, you can see the light, but you just can't find your way out of the hole you've fallen into.
This can be a severe problem, and it's an even bigger problem when those who do not understand your situation tell you to suck it up.
This makes you feel inadequate like there's something wrong with you or it brings about the feelings that you should easily be able to move away from the issue.
And in life, nothing is ever that simple, if you really could you would merely brush it off.
In this podcast, I lay out the real reason why you can't just shrug it off and the exact strategy you can use to move past the point of being stuck and finally take back your life.

Well, if you're worried about it and if you believe it then you're right.
The average person believes that they are not good enough and that if they fail it will be a snowball of continuous failure.
Or if they upset their boss, then they'll do it again and again and get fired.
And the worst part about this is that as you begin to believe it, you also begin to live it.
The honest truth is that in the world today the odds are stacked against you. It can be easy to fall down and not see a way back up.

You want to walk into the office and be excited to start the day, without the fear that you'll screw it up.
To start a project excited to begin something new and never fearful that you'll just ruin it anyway.
That's what today's show is all about. The top way to remove that depression, anxiety, and fear that creates these beliefs and ultimately leaves you frozen in fear.

But one that continually presents itself to us is the fact that we seem to always compare ourselves to others.
We go throughout our day and see people on Facebook living seemingly perfect lives.
We see people at work in situations we envy and situations that make us feel better about ourselves.
We hear about what's going on in the community at the dinner table and sometimes wonder why we don't have it all.
These thoughts are completely normal...
But we can't let them consume us.
We can't let them put us in a mindset to where we don't feel good enough.
We can't begin to believe those emotions and thoughts.
And we definitely don't want to be in a position to where it's all we think about and as a result, we feel worthless.
The beauty of life is that it absolutely doesn't have to be this way.
You can change your mindset and your thinking to combat the thoughts of comparing yourself to others.
Stary by building a bulletproof wall on what you let in and what you believe.
And over time you'll look at others with happiness, because you know they live in their world and you not only live in yours, but you're happy on your journey!

But with self-doubt breeds an opportunity to create pathways to success.
Pathways that we create to break through the "can't" and move into the can.
A realization that maybe we need to slow down and think about where we are at.
The opportunity to leave our comfort zone and push through barriers holding us back and ultimately create better versions of us.
In essence, we learn to master our thoughts and challenge our long-held beliefs.
We learn to evolve and grow as people
And we become comfortable with who we are and the change we experience as a result.

When dealing with people in business, marketing, politics etc we have to learn to speak to the elephant first or the rider will quickly be pushed aside and become overwhelmed.

It all comes down to building an effective relationship and telling the stories your best customers can't wait to tell!

This is what I often hear from frustrated business owners who are tired of failing and can't seem to figure it out.
The solution is often to outsource your marketing or to copy what someone else is doing because they seem successful.
The problem with copying someone else is the fact that you don't know their goals with the campaign or their long-term strategy. Without this, you can only play a short-term game until you need to switch to the next flavor of the week.
I call this shiny thing syndrome. People often bounce from one thing to the next based on what seems to be working when others do it or when a shiny new piece of technology comes out seemingly ready to solve all business problems.
The way you solve this problem is to take a step back and work to understand where you want your business to be in the next 30 days, 3/6/9/12 months and 2 years from now.
Once you figure this out find your best clients or customers who you would love to replicate. These are the people who have been customers or clients for years and years
With your long-term strategy in mind and your best clients at hand, you have what it take to create effective and compelling calls to action.
This is even more important right now with people being flooded with sales messages and bait and switch tactics all over the place to the point that the public doesn't trust anyone who owns a business or sells products or services and it goes against the new algorithm set forth by Facebook.
If you're on Facebook advertising (and you most likely should be) it's incredibly important to produce compelling content that creates an emotional bond with your customers.
This content should follow the pillars of great content that I often talk about:
- Motivation
- Education
- Make people laugh
Why? Because Facebook is obsessed with people on their platform having a great experience and not being bombarded with brands trying to sell shit all over the place and you can't blame them because without people they have no platform.
Now let's rewind back to when we talk about building a list of your best clients or customers.
Take that list and use it to poll them about their experience. You need to ask them the specific reasons they came to see you and the specific reasons they keep coming back.
Something like:
- Why did you choose us?
- How did you feel when you were looking for a solution before you purchased?
- How do you feel now?
- Why do you keep coming back?
This works best in person and typically generates the most genuine results, but can also be done via email if you're trying to do this at scale.
From this list of questions take the answers you get and compile it into the call to action you need using the words they used to describe you.
You can literally use their exact words and phrases to build this as you've obtained social proof and the why behind why people love you straight from them.
This is even better on video. Get a decent mic (the Rode Lav + os a great starter lapel mic) and record their responses, add a bit of music and you've got a winning call to action.
When it comes down to it you really need to understand how stories come into play in your marketing. They create an atmosphere to where you can build social proof and keep people engaged and creating a feeling of "that's just like me" from them.
Go out and get this started! Just reading won't do it for you! I'd love to see what you create!

But the big problem we face comes down to how to produce that content and how we make it unique, different and stand out from the sea of content available literally everywhere.
This comes down to knowing what your brand is, how it's defined, what its personality would look like if it was a real-life person.
The way this is defined is understanding and defining your message across your entire brand and making sure that it speaks to the exact people you want to speak to.
These people should feel as though they are part of your story.
The hard part is learning how to continuously create that story and to tell it in a way that's unique to you specifically. Not in a way that lumps you in the same way as everyone else.
This is where the introduction of original content comes into play. This is content that is specific and unique to you and that you produce yourself or in conjunction with an agency.
To learn and understand how to build the story you need to understand:
1. Your brand
2. Your employees
3. Your customers
In your original content, you need to focus on all three of these subsets and telling a story to continuously involves them.
To start this process define and outline the strengths, unique characteristics, the story and the personality type of each one.
Then take all of this and compile it into a winding story that dives into your staff and customer and because it's so well thought out it drives your brand into it as well.
This isn't about a call to action, tricking people or expecting immediate returns.
It's about building a movement around what you do, creating a set of raving fans and staff and turning your product or service into an experience.
This experience is something that should be so powerful that your customers don't care about what you sell or how you sell it. They should be so excited about your brand that they will support you in literally anything you do without question.
And this doesn't stop with the story it goes into every experience a customer has with your brand and furthermore the experiences your employees have with your brand.
These experiences combined with the story dictate the way people feel about what you do and as a result what they say about what you do.
If the experience is strong enough you will have a base that will spread the word for you, will tell everyone about what you do and will share every single piece of content you put out.
Original content starts with understanding every single subset of your brand and continues to build on and to drive that experience that keeps people captivated and excited for years and years.
It takes a minute to trick someone but takes a lifetime to captivate an audience and build a movement.

What if you didn't have anyone to reassure you that what you are doing is the right path for you or what you're doing is even right or wrong?
Welcome to the game of entrepreneurship.
It's a world where more often than not you're by yourself, making decisions that can impact your entire business and life and you have almost no one who has walked in your shoes to talk to on a daily basis.
With decisions that can so profoundly affect you a helping or guiding hand is often something, you would want or need and that's why there are so many mentoring groups and consultants out there.
But as an entrepreneur you make these decisions, formulate new ideas and develop strategies all from within your own head and these ideas are CONSTANTLY flowing.
With this, you are left thinking about everything from A to Z often in a continuous way with a seemingly night and day focus and often no way to actually turn it off.
From the moment you wake up these things are on your mind and when you go to bed all the information you need to process is still racing through your mind and it's your ultimate responsibility to execute on these ideas,
With all of this comes an extreme amount of stress and pressure to learn to live with and to be comfortable with and even start to embrace. It's quite the addicting experience!
Because through all the pressure and loneliness there is no better feeling than acting on your thoughts and ideas and along the way not really having a clear idea as to whether any of it will work. Because you are LITERALLY forging your own path.
When it comes down to it entrepreneurs are the ultimate executors.
We think, act and analyze on a constant basis. Chances are while you're still thinking about doing something an entrepreneur has acted on several of these things.
And we're lonely because we don't have other executors with us, we're often the founders of our companies who bear the burden of growing something akin to our child.
No one else can possibly understand how important this game is to us.
And because of that, we live this life to where we forge our own paths, create new industries and do things most people would only dream of doing.
The excitement, the anticipation, the thrill, the loneliness, the sadness, the stress all culminate to create an epic lifestyle that leaves a legacy for generations.
To me, it's always worth it though sometimes I'm riding high and sometimes I'm a little down I always end up proud of what I've accomplished and built and amazed that my thoughts have been turned into reality on a consistent basis and that so many people believe in what I do as an entrepreneur.
Thank you to the risk-takers, the doers and the people who build industries we all wish we could be part of!

]]>What if you didn't have anyone to reassure you that what you are doing is the right path for you or what you're doing is even right or wrong?
Welcome to the game of entrepreneurship.It's a world where more often than not you're by yourself, making decisions that can impact your entire business and life and you have almost no one who has walked in your shoes to talk to on a daily basis.
With decisions that can so profoundly affect you a helping or guiding hand is often something, you would want or need and that's why there are so many mentoring groups and consultants out there.
But as an entrepreneur you make these decisions, formulate new ideas and develop strategies all from within your own head and these ideas are CONSTANTLY flowing.

Thank you for listening or watching! Let's connect on: Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | Snapchat | Podcast| Twitter Subscribe to my Newsletter here]]>Recently I gave a talk to a group of Infusionsoft Partners and small business owners about my 10 laws of marketing and customer-centric business strategies.
One of the things I took away the most after listening to everyone and answering questions was the amount of fear people experience when trying to do something new and the fact that being mindful or being in the present is something not many people make a practice of doing or even understand how to do.
Being mindful or staying in and understanding what you're doing in the present is a practice that keeps you moving in the right direction and allows you to be conscious of when you start to fall off track, become distracted, or become aware of when your emotions take over.
How many times have you been working hard only to find yourself watching cat videos on Facebook or engulfed into a lengthy online debate that has no bearing on your professional or personal life?
Now in those instances how quickly were you able to recognize that you were sucked in and were you able to pull yourself out of it and back to what you were doing?
This is a huge piece of being mindful and you can practice this to become more aware of what you're doing in the present and when you get distracted from what you are doing.
If I'm focused for example I can keep working with people screaming and yelling around me, the entire building burning down or complete chaos happing and I won't even move a muscle or fall off track.
The point here is if you want to develop a level of mindfulness to where you can overcome distractions you have to practice it in your everyday life.
Start to make it a point to identify when you become distracted and fall off track. Stop at that moment and say:
"I'm distracted and now it's time to go back to what I was doing"
Say this every single time you fall off track and after a while, it will be a sub-conscience thought process you go through that will begin to automatically pull you back into what you were doing.
This is incredibly useful when you're trying to argue a point or when you feel emotions start to come out when working with other people.
In these situations, you work to take a step back and think about the emotions you are feeling at that very moment.
Say to yourself "Is this how I really feel or is this the product of letting my emotions take over?"
By doing this and understanding when you get distracted you will build a sense of mindfulness that allows you to understand where you are at in the present and what you are doing. From this, you can maximize your productivity and move away from letting emotions take you over in arguments.
This is not easy to do and won't happen in a day and that's why we need to follow this exercise to make sure that we are installing the process into our thoughts and minds every single day.
It doesn't take meditation or yoga to do this, but if that helps you clear your head to be more aware than add it to your routine as well!
Take this blog as a way to learn how to be more aware in the present and create a sense of awareness of who you are and what you're doing at all times.
Try this out and let me know how it goes!

A failure on your staff to work to a level you need and at your standards is a failure on your ability to teach them exactly how you want it done and mentor them until they get it right.

The fact of the matter is that you're always going to be stronger together than you are apart!
The hardest part is actually going out and developing these relationships because we're afraid the other businesses might say no or they won't like us.
But the fact of the matter is that if you don't actually try, you'll never get anywhere!
So how do you go about approaching other business in a way that isn't salesy or will be looked at with frustration from other business owners and then leading to them point to a no soliciting sign?
The good news is that I'm going to walk you through the process of developing a relationship with other businesses so it turns into a mutually beneficial relationship that everyone is happy with!
First off pull out a map or use something like Google Maps to pinpoint all the businesses you want to work within your area. Map out 5-7 of them to approach and being the conversation with. This will be your base as you start.
Once you get this done what you want to do is walk into the businesses you mapped out. Let's say one of them is a coffee shop, what you're going to do is walk into the coffee shop, buy a coffee, sit down close to the counter and you're going to talk to each one of the employees and learn a little bit about them and the place as a whole.
Then you are you going to leave, this is because you're not trying to sell or offer anything right off the bat. Remember we are playing the long-term game here.
Then you're going to come back again weekly and continue to talk with the employees and learn more and more about the place and more importantly you're going to begin to build and develop a relationship with the staff members and hopefully the management in your time there.
Make it a point to talk to all the employees each and every time you go in, get to know every one of their names and make sure they know yours.
Start to get them to understand what your name, what you do and who you are. What you're doing is essentially developing and building a relationship with these people inside this facility so the being to trust you and feel comfortable around you.
You're going to do this for several weeks and eventually you get to that point where they all know you really well, they all know your name and they are incredibly comfortable around you. The staff should be excited when you walk in the door because you've become a regular.
Then at this point, you are in a good position to ask them for something and that something is the potential to work with you and your business.
Now what you're going to do is say hey guy's what do you think about taking your stuff and let's combine it with what I do and let's do a joint workshop together, let's do like a coffee tasting at my facility and I'll give you and your staff and your customer's a fitness day at your place or do a combined event every month where you alternate facilities.
Workshops are the best in that you can get their customers and use their network in addition to yours to get people inside your facility. Now that you set yourself up with a local business and a good relationship with them.
It's important to maintain that relationship and work to always be in contact. If you don't maintain contact the relationship will fade and the work you put into building it will be for nothing. So invite these business owners you start working with for coffee or breakfast once a week and then build that into a little networking group that you created all on your own!
It's not easy to build this up, but it is always worth it because as business owners we are always stronger together than we are apart!

They give you responses like "Because I said so", always have a bad attitude and make you feel as though you are beneath them?
Those are qualities that are rarely the sign of a good leader and more often than not the by product of someone with problems displaying emotions and empathizing with the people who work for them.
When it comes down to it and when you're a leader in an organization it's always more than just saying I'm the boss, I'm the guy who tells people what to do, I'm really cool and all powerful and all knowing.
What it really comes down to is it's understanding the way your team is thinking, it's learning how to see through the eyes of each one of your team members. Learning what they're going to do and how they're going to react and respond to the things you say and the things you do.
It's also being strong enough to be able to display the overall company vision and long term strategy to your team.
Help them to understand that vision and then get them to rally behind that vision.
If you can't develop a vision and a long term strategy and if you can't develop a long term plan to showcase to your team they will never rally behind you. And this is the reason so many of us run into problems getting our team on board to do a lot of stuff that we want them to do.
If you are going to give your team additional workload or introduce new concepts to them you absolutely need to be able to explain the WHY to them. Otherwise, they are not going to be excited about it because they fundamentally do not understand the WHY how it's going to benefit them and what it's going to do for the organization as a whole.
You really need to focus and work on your why, because If you can't explain your WHY and the company why you will never be able to rally your team.
And if you can't rally your team, you're going to be incapable of being a good leader in the long run and your team is going to have an incredibly difficult time following you and eventually, you will be left by yourself and unable to lead anybody.
So remember in order to be an effective leader you really need to learn and understand what your team is thinking (through empathy), who they are, what they're going to say about your leadership and vision and then you need to be able to react and respond based on the information you have and understand about your team.
Then you can display your why and your long term vision to truly rally your team behind what needs to be done. Even if it's going to be more work initially, they will follow you if you give them a good reason as to why it is important in the long term.
Be able to display and showcase a long term vision that your team can rally behind!
Now, once you've decided that you need to create the vision and that vision needs to be displayed to everyone who follows you it's important to map it out and to understand it better than anyone else.
To be able to create your vision we need to look 12, 24, 36 months (and longer) from now and work to understand where you would like to see your business at and what it looks like at that point.
Once you've created this high-level overview you need to work backward to build the timeline of how you are going to accomplish this strategy. Some things to think about:
- What does it look like every step of the way?
- What are some potential pitfalls?
- How do you pivot shift when things don't go according to plan?
- What does the competitive landscape look like and how do you stay a step ahead of your competitors?
- What does staffing look like and who will you need to accomplish your strategy?
After you've thought long and hard about this and have created the vision, the strategy and the long term roadmap to success, your next step is to work to understand how to visually and vocally express this to your staff.
It's important that the way you display the vision of the company is exciting and gets them motivated to make things happen and put in the work because they believe in the vision.
If you have a team that believes in your vision they will be much more likely to work harder, longer hours and ultimately be committed to the success of the vision and the part they play in it!

Do you understand what the basic human emotions are and how to tap into them based on the way the human brain works?
Once you do marketing to build the relationship becomes much more clear and people will truly love your brand!
There are 8 basic human emotions that we can tap into when marketing to build the relationship with consumers:
1. Fear
Marketing to peoples fear is generally a shady tactic used by marketers trying to trick you into buying their products. People will generally make quick decisions when a fear is represented, but will also be quick to cancel or return their purchase due to in the moment buyers remorse
2. Anger
Anger is a powerful emotion and is one of the key elements to getting people outraged enough to share something to spread the word or to add their thoughts to whatever it is that made them angry.
Your brand should never work to make people angry because that creates the perception that your brand produces content that builds anger in people and people will always remember and associate this with your brand.
3. Sadness
Sadness is an emotion that hits people deep inside and makes them feel sad themselves. With this in mind dipping into this emotional pathway needs to be based on something that is sad in the world, but that your brand is involved in fixing.
You can really pull out a lot of brand goodwill by focusing on fixing something that is not right in the world or showcasing how you're making a difference
4. Joy
Joy is an emotion that gets people excited, it builds long term trust with your brand and helps people to feel comfortable and connect with your brand.
If you focus on Joy or making people happy as one of the core tenants of your content and branding strategy people will associate positively with your brand and remember that it made them feel great
5. Disgust
Disgust is often associated with tragedy in the world, politics and is an emotion that makes people shocked at first and then often angry.
Generally in relationship based marketing disgust will get people to share your content, but it does not build goodwill toward your brand and will negatively affect your brand in the long run.
6. Anticipation
This is an emotion that you can use to dip into peoples curiosity with your content. You can use surprise to get people excited for what's to come and what to expect in the future.
Maybe you have a mini series you put out and you always leave a cliff hanger at the end for people to wonder what could happen next. This is a great emotional pathway to dip into and you can use this emotion to build excitement over a new product release or when releasing anything new. If the consumer is excited they will line up to pre purchase what you're selling. If they are not they will not care when it's released.
7. Surprise
This is an emotion that is often capitalized by using sales and deals to peak the consumers interest into going into your business or shopping with you online.
I would recommend to not use scheduled sales and deals as you will train the consumer to wait for those times to purchase your products and consumers get addicted to discounts! Instead use surprise as an element to build excitement around your content, do things that are consistent with your brand but that people are not expecting. If you keep the consumer on their toes you will always have an engaging and exciting brand!
8. Trust
In my opinion this is the biggest reason people care about your brand. It is the reason they follow you, continue to purchase your products and rave to their friends about what you offer.
Trust takes a lot of time and effort to build, but when you get it it creates a bond with the consumer to where they don't have to think twice about what you offer, it makes sales easy and makes your brand a good brand in the eye of the consumer.
Trust takes time to build, requires nurturing the people you serve and actually caring about them from the beginning to the and and back to the beginning of the customer lifecycle.
