Mastering High-Ticket Sales: Insights from Sales Expert Zac Palmer
In this episode of Thinking Big, Sean welcomes sales expert Zac Palmer to share his insights on mastering high-ticket sales. As the former Director of Training and Coaching Operations for Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi's company, Zac has extensive experience in building and scaling sales teams for success. Key Takeaways: 1. High-ticket offers typically start at around $5,000, with the average ranging from $8,000 to $10,000. 2. Entrepreneurs often struggle with sales because they are subject matter experts, not salespeople. Repetition and frameworks are crucial for developing sales skills. 3. Focus on understanding the customer's pain points, aspirations, and how your product or service can bridge the gap, rather than simply listing features. 4. Bring positive energy and the best version of yourself to every sales conversation, as it significantly impacts the outcome. 5. Prospecting and making calls, despite the discomfort, is essential for maintaining a consistent sales pipeline and cash flow. 6. When scaling your business, having a dedicated sales team for each product is more effective than having salespeople juggle multiple offers. 7. Always ask for the sale and tell clients what to do next, as this is crucial for their success and your business growth. Zac emphasizes the importance of developing a strategic value ladder, with each product building upon the next and offering increasing access to the entrepreneur. He also highlights the need for simplicity in the early stages of business, focusing on fewer products to streamline marketing and management efforts. For entrepreneurs ready to scale their sales and take their business to the next level, Zac offers a free breakthrough session to help you navigate the process of hiring, onboarding, and training a sales team.

Think and Grow Rich in 10 Minutes series: Step 3 - Auto-Suggestion
This episode is sponsored by: In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the transformative power of Auto-Suggestion, a key concept from Napoleon Hill's legendary book "Think and Grow Rich." I share my personal journey from the streets to success, crediting the philosophies in Hill's book, particularly the technique of Auto-Suggestion, for bridging the gap between my dreams and reality. We dive into the definition of Auto-Suggestion, likening it to programming your subconscious mind to believe in your ability to generate success. The host emphasizes the importance of being deliberate about the thoughts you allow to take root, as they ultimately dictate your actions, habits, and results. The episode highlights the six steps to success outlined in a previous episode and stresses the importance of reading and embodying your statement of desire with emotion every single day. However, the host warns that merely saying the words is not enough; you must feel it in your bones and take massive action towards your goals. We explore the concept of visualization and how it differs from mere fantasy. The host encourages listeners to "see themselves" earning money through the service or value they provide. They also address the common question of what to do when you're unsure of how to proceed, emphasizing the importance of having faith that success is already yours and keeping your eyes open for the right plan. The host reminds listeners that plans may not always make sense to the rational mind, but it's essential to trust gut feelings and sudden inspirations. They conclude by emphasizing that Auto-Suggestion is not just a fancy term but a way of life—the golden key to unlocking the treasure chest of your mind. Throughout the episode, the host shares personal anecdotes and relatable examples to illustrate the power of Auto-Suggestion. They encourage listeners to plant the seeds of success, water them with faith and emotion, and watch as their dreams become reality. Key Takeaways: Auto-Suggestion is a method of programming your subconscious mind to believe in your ability to generate success. Be deliberate about the thoughts you allow to take root, as they dictate your actions, habits, and results. Read and embody your statement of desire with emotion every single day. Visualization is crucial; see yourself earning money through the service or value you provide. Trust your gut feelings and sudden inspirations, even if they don't make sense to your rational mind. Auto-Suggestion is a way of life, the golden key to unlocking the treasure chest of your mind.

The Secret to Avoiding Burnout That Every High Achiever Needs to Know - With Erin Harrington

The Secret to Avoiding Burnout That Every High Achiever Needs to Know - With Erin Harrington
This episode is sponsored by: In this episode, Sean interviews Erin Harrington about improving work effectiveness and reducing burnout, especially for high achievers and entrepreneurs. Erin shares her own experience dealing with medical conditions that caused constant fight-or-flight responses, and how she learned to manage stress to improve her happiness and well-being. Key Points: High achievers often believe working harder leads to more success, but burnout occurs when grinding too many hours without self-care. This leads to health issues, brain fog, and ineffectiveness. Stress and negative emotions like fear originate in the amygdala part of the brain. The amygdala can't differentiate between minor and major stressors, triggering fight-or-flight responses. Erin found that stress reduction activities like walking in nature, cooking, and socializing helped reduce her neurological symptoms, even as her diagnoses worsened. Small positive actions practiced consistently can reduce chronic disease, improve relationships and efficiency. Stress is a choice and there are simple tools to train your brain to have a more positive, resilient response to stressors. It takes practice but is very doable. Erin created The Whole Life Planner based on the tools she developed over nearly 20 years to retrain her own brain. It focuses on aligning with values, self-care, goal-setting, positive habits and resilience rather than just productivity. The planner has reflection questions like identifying a daily "win" no matter how small. It aims to help people be more productive, peaceful, purposeful and resilient. Consistently practicing small positive actions is key. The brain craves this consistency and it leads to more positive outcomes and well-being. The "dump zone" in the planner is for jotting down ideas, to-dos, and thoughts that come up during the day, so you don't get sidetracked from the main priorities. Erin offers a free Life-at-a-Glance Assessment at soulvalues.com/promo to help identify areas of life that may need more attention and rebalancing. She recommends retaking it quarterly or when feeling very unbalanced.

Think and Grow Rich in 10 Minutes series: Step 2 - Developing Faith in Yourself
This episode is sponsored by: Experience Daily Breakthroughs With The 'Secrets Od Success' FREE Newsletter - Transform Your Life In Just 2 Minutes A Day! In today's episode of the Thinking Big Podcast, we dive into a transformative concept that has the power to reshape your reality: Faith. In Step 2 of Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich," we explore how faith, the belief in the unseen, acts as a catalyst in turning dreams into tangible achievements. Faith: The Light Switch to Your Dreams Imagine entering a dark room and flipping on a light switch. Instantaneously, darkness is replaced by light, revealing the room's contents. This analogy perfectly illustrates the role of faith in our lives. Faith ignites the belief in our capabilities and the inevitability of our dreams becoming our reality. The Foundation of Faith At its core, faith is a state of mind, a conviction so profound that it transcends mere hope or desire. It's about instilling in ourselves a belief so unshakeable that our goals, regardless of their grandeur, become attainable. Setting the Stage for Success Success begins with clarity. Vague aspirations like "I want to be wealthy" lack the specificity needed to guide us. By setting precise goals, such as "I want to earn $1,000,000 annually through my coaching business," we provide ourselves a clear target, a destination for our journey towards success. The Muscle of Faith Building faith isn't about fostering blind optimism but nurturing a belief in our potential so potent that it materializes into our existence. It involves conditioning our mindset, much like cultivating a garden, where the seeds of our ambitions are sown and nurtured with positive affirmations and visualizations. Real-Life Inspirations Thomas Edison's story exemplifies perseverance fueled by faith. Despite numerous failures, Edison's unwavering faith in his vision for the light bulb propelled him towards eventual success, demonstrating that faith, coupled with persistence, overcomes even the most formidable challenges. Faith in Action True faith necessitates action. It's not enough to merely believe; we must also take the steps necessary to achieve our goals. Whether it's changing our diet to lose weight or diligently working towards our business objectives, faith demands action. Strengthening Your Faith Faith is akin to a muscle that grows stronger with use. Each obstacle overcome and each goal achieved fortifies our faith, making subsequent aspirations more accessible. Your Faith Journey Embark on a journey of faith by integrating it with other principles of success. Utilize tools like vision boards to keep your goals in sight and practice affirmations to reinforce your belief in their achievability. Remember, faith is not a static trait but a dynamic journey, constantly evolving and strengthening with every challenge faced and every milestone reached.

Sean discusses the neuroscience behind accountability systems, explaining how our brains are wired for social interaction and how involving others in our goals can make the process more engaging and motivating. He also highlights the importance of having an accountability partner or system, explaining how it can leverage our brain's natural tendencies towards social interaction, rewards, and fear of social disapproval to keep us motivated and on track.

Accountability partners can help you track your goals, call out your BS, uncover your blind spots, act as a red light, serve as a sounding board, ease the pain, and be your partner in crime. There are three distinctive styles of accountability systems: individual accountability, team accountability, and reciprocal accountability. Each has its own benefits and can be used for different types of goals. Quotes: "One is too small of a number to achieve greatness." - John Maxwell "Accountability breeds responsibility." - Stephen Covey "On good teams, coaches hold players accountable. On great teams, players hold players accountable." - Joe Dumars Resources Mentioned: Sponsor: , for neuroscience-based coaching certification that empowers you with cutting-edge strategies. .

Surround yourself with the right company because proximity matters. There is power in proximity. FAQ: What is an accountability system?

It can be a person or a group to whom you answer for your actions and results. Why is having an accountability partner beneficial? Having an accountability partner can trigger the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with the feeling of pleasure and satisfaction. It can also help reduce stress and anxiety, provide emotional support, and keep you motivated and on track. What are the different styles of accountability systems?

The Real Catalyst for Motivation: It's Not What You Think

The Real Catalyst for Motivation: It's Not What You Think
Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Thinking Big Podcast. Today, we're debunking myths and challenging beliefs about motivation. The conventional wisdom tells us that motivation leads to action, and action yields results. But what if we've got it all wrong? What if it's action that fuels motivation, not the other way around? In this episode, we dive deep into this concept, backed by neuroscience and the wisdom of Emerson. We explore how taking even the smallest step can shatter inertia and set you on the path to success. Key Takeaways: Motivation is not the magic key to success; action is. Action fuels and builds motivation. The action doesn't have to be colossal; even a tiny step can shatter inertia. Once you start witnessing the results of your actions, motivation makes its grand entrance. Progress is a powerful motivator that drives us. Quotes From The Episode: "It's not motivation that ignites action, but action that fuels and builds motivation." "Do the thing, and you shall have the power, but they that do not do the thing had not the power." - Emerson "The secret to motivation is not sitting around on your butt, waiting for it to strike." Resources Mentioned: The Mastermind Group: A powerful group of entrepreneurs and leaders that can help guide you to your goals. As a seasoned podcaster and coach, I've seen firsthand how action can fuel motivation. So, my advice to you is simple: start moving. Don't wait for the perfect moment or the right resources. Just take the first step, no matter how small it may seem. FAQs: Q: What is the key to motivation? A: The key to motivation is action. When you take action, you fuel your motivation. Q: Does the action need to be a big step? A: No, even a tiny step can shatter inertia and set you on the path to success. Q: What happens when I start taking action? A: Once you start taking action and witnessing the results, motivation makes its grand entrance. Q: What is the role of progress in motivation? A: Progress is a powerful motivator. When you see the fruits of your labor, you feel a sense of accomplishment that fuels your motivation. Q: What if I don't have the right resources to take action? A: Don't wait for the right resources. Just take the first step, and the rest will fall into place.

They dive into the depths of self-discovery, the Enneagram, and how understanding oneself can lead to a more fulfilling and harmonious life. Key Takeaways: The Real Life Process: Teresa McCloy introduces her life management system, the Real Life Process. It is divided into three parts: knowing your real self, living it out in your real life, and doing your best real work. The process helps individuals discover their true selves and live a life that reflects their values and passions. The Enneagram: Teresa explains the Enneagram, a personality tool that has both a spiritual and psychological side. It is a drawing with nine different personalities, each representing a different core trait. The Enneagram helps individuals understand their thinking, emotional, and instinctual intelligence. The Nine Types: The nine types in the Enneagram are Peace (Type 9), Goodness (Type 1), Love (Type 2), Effectiveness (Type 3), Creativity (Type 4), Wisdom (Type 5), Loyalty (Type 6), Joy (Type 7), and Power (Type 8). Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. Energy Centers: Teresa talks about the three energy centers in the Enneagram – forward-moving, toward-moving, and away-moving. Understanding these energies helps in understanding how people interact and connect with others. Nature, Nurture, and Free Will: Our personalities are shaped by the combination of our genetic makeup (nature), our upbringing and environment (nurture), and the choices we make (free will). Living in Harmony: Teresa emphasizes the importance of living in harmony rather than balance. By understanding oneself through tools like the Enneagram, individuals can find internal peace and joy, regardless of external circumstances. Sean's Enneagram Results: Sean shares that he took the Enneagram test for the first time and discusses the insights he gained from it. Quotes: "If you live from an internal place of rest, knowing yourself, what matters to you, who are the people that matter to you, then your work is going to come out of that." - Teresa McCloy "There's more to it than just 'Oh, I can work from the pool or I can be in Hawaii or in the Bahamas'. It's really about the internal peace." - Teresa McCloy "I want to know as much about how I work, how I'm wired, how I think, how I act, how I react, so that the anxiety in me can be managed." - Teresa McCloy "It's the internal peace. So I want to know as much about how I work, how I'm wired, how I think, how I act, how I react, so that the anxiety in me can be managed." - Teresa McCloy Resources: FREE Download of the REALIFE Enneagram Typing Guide Your REALIFE Enneagram Personality Profile Package Connect with Teresa McCloy: Connect with Sean Osborn: Closing Thoughts: This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand themselves better and live a more fulfilling life.
