In this episode, I talk about a problem that so many of us face, from time to time, in our business pursuits. The problem is that we tend to amass an ever-growing list of to do items. Even worse, we convince ourselves that everything on these lists are important. The result? We end up doing a ton of activity in our business but find that we have very little clarity about what it is that we are trying to achieve. In this episode, I share why it might be time to ditch your current to list and simply ask yourself a question or two to gain some clarity.   I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

I recently had a potential client ask me how much I charge for my one-on-one mentoring package. When I gave him the details, he wrote back… “Geez, my Harvard educated attorney doesn’t charge that much. Come to think of it, my accountant wouldn’t approve such a major expense, and as you saw on the Mastermind Application, I am doing fairly successful with my online business pursuits. How do you justify your rates! It’s either a new set of tires or 3 conversations with you. Tough choice!” How would you respond to this statement? How confident are you in the value that you bring to your clients? In this episode, I share how I responded to this. I hope you find my experience valuable in helping you gain more confidence in the value that you offer. The Six Questions Mentioned In The Episode:1. What are my 3-5 unique qualities?2.

There are a large number of things that I am proud to have accomplished over the past several years. However, I'm often asked the question… “Cliff, with all that you have going on, how do you manage to get it all done?” In this podcast episode, I not only explain that I DO NOT get it all done, but also why I don't even try to “get it all done.” Here are the six affirmations that I ended up sharing in the episode. 1. I always have plenty of time for all of the things that I'm truly committed to. 2. I always make time for the things that are most important to me. 3. My goal in life is not to manage time, but to always be living a fulfilling life devoted to consistent growth and contribution. 4. I'm always at the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing. 5. My time, money, energy, ability and reputation are my most valued assets. I invest these assets with the right clients, prospects, associates and friends. 6. There are so many demands for my attention in life. I am committed to deciding, in advan

About ten years ago, I heard the parable of “The Mexican Fisherman” for the first time. Back then, I totally bought into the message of the story. The message, as I interpreted it, was that we should avoid building a big business as a means of building wealth. Instead, we should be satisfied doing the work that allows us to meet our needs and enjoy the simple/important things in life. Lately, I've been thinking about how this parable presents a false dichotomy. In this episode, I share why I feel that hundreds of people's lives, including the lives of his wife and children, would benefit from him building the bigger boat and growing his business.

I was recently interviewed on the Grace On Fire podcast hosted by Dr. Jonathan G Smith. In the interview, I shared four limiting beliefs that will keep you from living the life for which you were created. I had intended to cover this as a topic on my show at some point in the future. However, what I was sharing came out so great in this interview that I asked Jonathan if I could simply use my recording of the interview as an episode of my own podcast. He was happy to give me permission to do so. If you have ever struggled with any of these limiting belief, I sincerely hope that what I shared will help you help you experience a mindset shift so that you can be freed up to pursue the life for which you were created.   I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

Every time I interact with someone who is building their own online business, I ask them… “What is the single greatest frustration that you are facing, right now, when it comes to growing your online business?” One of the most common responses is FOCUS or LACK OF FOCUS. One person responded this question by saying… “I Have So Many Income Stream Opportunities, But I Can’t Seem To Stay Focused On One!” I totally understand this problem. In this week's episode, I share how I've recently faced this exact issue of deciding where I needed to focus my time, effort and energy when it comes to a completely new set of income streams that I'm looking to pursue in the next year. More importantly, I share 21 separate tips that will help you stay focused on what is most important to you. I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

Did you know that half of all businesses are closed within their first year, 80% are gone within five years and that 96% of all businesses fail within 10 years? That means that only 4% of a businesses last more than 10 years. That just means that they are “still standing,” even if they are not “profitable.” I know just how difficult it is to get an online business off the ground. In 2008, I left a successful 12-year career as an insurance agent to pursue my own journey of full-time, self-employment, so that I could do the work that I felt most called to do in this world. I am so thankful for all the sales training and customer service experience that those 12 years as an insurance agent provided. However, having lived a lifetime as an “employee” up to that point, I realized, real quickly, just how much I didn't know about what it took to actually own and operate my own business. My first full year of full-time self-employment was riddled with self-doubt, overwhelm from all that I was being told I needed to do

Growing up, I had always been taught that New Years Resolutions simply don't work. The idea is that in the new year, a person will resolve to get rid of an undesired habit, to accomplish a personal goal or to commit to something that will improve their life in some way. As a young guy, I had attempted to set lifestyle goals for myself. However, somewhere around middle school, I became convinced that everyone was right… these things just don't work. Unfortunately, as a result, I had pretty much given up on “goal setting” all-together. Well, that's not completely true. There were times when I had a strong desire, where I set my mind on a goal that I wanted to achieve and where I remained focused on that goal until I achieved the outcome that I desired. However, these experiences were random and were not a part of any sort of “routine” of goal setting in my normal life. However, that all changed in 2009! It was in 2009 that I was first introduced the to step-by-step formula for achieving any goal that you remain
