How is Energy Like Money? - Episode 24

How is Energy Like Money? - Episode 24
Most of us like to think of energy in terms of a battery. When we use energy, our battery drains, when we plug it in our energy goes up. Using the analogy that energy is like money, energy used is in the form of debits, money is taken out of our energy account. Energy earned is in the form of credits, or money coming into the account. The reason why this analogy is used is because people have an emotional connection to money. So if you’re speaking of energy in terms of money, someone will be a bit more protective of it because to most people money is not something that is easily gained and it is a scarce commodity. In this episode, we’re going to speak about how easy it is to add to your energy bank account, so you don’t have insufficient funds, and are feeling depleted, frustrated, and ready to throw in the towel! #energyislikemoney #insufficientfunds #timeblocking #firemyclient #morningroutine #miraclemorning #beentheresoldthatmastermind

Creating Success by Executing to the Specific - Episode 18
Two families get up early to go fishing. Family One grabs their fishing gear, gets on the boat, puts their worms on their hooks, casts the line, and waits. They are hoping to get a bite. Family Two gets together the day before and plans out their fishing trip. They choose the types of fish they want to catch, what will be the best places to expect to find those fish, what bait they like to eat, and what time they like to eat. They get up in the morning, they have the right fishing gear, they know where they’re going, and when to get there. When they arrive, they are confident they are going to have a good day. They have prepared for everything within their control to be successful. How do you feel when you head into your business day. Are you going out and hoping that things are going to go well, and you are going to find new clients and customers? Or, are you more like family number two that planned and prepared for the day?

Differentiation - Episode 10
Differentiation In sales, it’s What sets you apart from part from your competitors. To a business coach, we call this a unique selling proposition or USP. Ultimately, it comes down to what you’re good at doing, what you want to be known for, and the guarantees you provide for your products and your services. It should be something based on your core values: speed, quality, freshness, etc. You can point back to your core values and it be evident to everyone who interacts with your company. During the sales process, you use differentiation to set you (as a salesperson) apart from others who sell the same service. It’s up to the salesperson to ask questions and learn about someone’s business. As always, Phil asks the right questions at the right time: what did you like about what we talked about? What resonated with you? Why is this important to you? THAT is differentiation, asking the potential client what they liked and digging a little deeper. It becomes a tangible differentiator so the salesperson can tailor their presentation to the potential client. Makes perfect, logical sense! The outcome? You are building desire! This is getting you one step closer to your sale! Then ONE more differentiator…listen to the podcast to hear how you close the sale!

The  Rockefeller Habits - Episode 8
What are the Rockefeller Habits? Vern Harnish explains them well in the book, “Mastering the Rockefeller Habits” and “Scaling Up”. The Rockefeller Habits are designed to help businesses grow, scale, and succeed. They include: *Priorities: Identify and focus on the most important priorities for the organization. Ensure that everyone is aligned with these priorities. *Data: Use data and metrics to drive decision-making. Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure progress and success. *Rhythm: Implement a regular meeting rhythm to keep everyone on the same page. This includes daily huddles, weekly team meetings, monthly strategic meetings, and quarterly planning sessions. *Customer Feedback: Continuously gather feedback from customers and use it to improve products or services. *Employee Feedback: Create a culture of open communication and feedback among employees. Regularly solicit input and ideas from the team. *Processes: Develop and document core processes to ensure consistency and efficiency in operations. *Accountability: Hold team members accountable for their responsibilities and performance. Ensure that everyone knows their roles and responsibilities. *Goals: Set clear and measurable goals for the organization and individual team members. Monitor progress toward these goals. *Cascading: Cascade the company's goals and priorities down to all levels of the organization, so that everyone understands how their work contributes to the larger objectives. *Recognition and Rewards: Recognize and reward employees for their contributions and achievements. These habits are often used by businesses to create a framework for sustainable growth and effective management. They emphasize the importance of focus, data-driven decision-making, communication, and accountability in achieving long-term success. This podcast discusses how to apply these habits in your business. To sign up for Brianna’s weekly newsletter go to and subscribe at the bottom of the page.
