Patience & Hustle Daily

I decided to finally bring back the Patience & Hustle podcast.

Follow along as I take this crazy journey of rebuilding my life, and creating the one I want. Talking about business, hustle, marketing, mindset and more.

Sometimes in life you have to re-create yourself. It's not changing who you are, it's just setting you up for who you're meant to be. 

Where have I been? What have I been doing? 

There are times where  I just don't feel very creative. I'm drained. That's ok. I step back, and get refocused, and re-inspired. 

I lost my focus, and I didn't like who I was turning into. I had to make a change. 

I brought in a heavy hitter for you today! David Bradley is a Sales & Marketing Manager for Grant Cardone Training, founder of RichMansGym.com, and the author of "How To Stop Smoking Without Killing Anyone." Today we talk about how you should be setting your goals, and what you can do to ensure that you achieve them in 2020. 

What are you plans for 2020?

I was into photography about 10 years ago, and the camera I was using  died. I didn't pick up photography again until this year. During that  time, and now, I have learned a lot about photography, and wanted to  share a few tips that have been helping me capture better photos.

The truth is, you are an expert at what you do. In week two's challenge,  I wanted you to teach me something from your expertise. So what I did  for my video, is pose a question on Instagram "What is the key piece of  communication in your video, blog, and podcast?" I got some great  responses, but I can tell you this, none of them were exactly what I was  looking for. I'm glad! That means I have something to teach to you.

This weeks challenge was to make a Video, Podcast, and Blog, introducing who you are, and what you will be covering over the 12 weeks during the challenge.

Curious? Want to join the fun? It's free! It's just a challenge to hold you accountable! Patienceandhustledaily.com/challenge

C R E A T E !

It's easy. I break it all down for you. It's now up to you get started!

Put yourself out there.

Take a chance.

Do that thing you’re afraid of.

That first step is the absolute hardest. After that it all goes by so fast, you start asking yourself, “did I really just do that?”

Life feels long, until you’re laying in a bed at a hospice with your family surrounding you, waiting there, holding your hand, reminiscing over all the memories you had together.

Until your breathing slows down, you let out that final breath, and your soul leaves your body.

Even though you may have time, don’t waste what you have.

Right now, is the time.

It is the only time.

Step out.

Take that leap.

Start that business.

Ask that guy or girl out.

Get on that plane and travel to that country you’ve always wanted to visit.

Write your book.

Direct your movie.

Create your history.

Right now, is the only time.

I call it the 5 to 1 Method. Simply put, you take 1) Long form video, then 2) pull the audio to make a podcast, then 3) Make a 1 minute highlight video for social media, then 4) Transcribe the audio into written format to write a blog or article, then finally 5) use the tips/tricks/quotes/ or anything else that was really special in the video to make static graphics for social media. 

I have been away for a little while, and just want to give an update on what I've been doing. Let's just say, I've been busy! The way things are looking, I will be even busier coming soon! I'll keep you posted on all the exciting stuff I'm working on!

I posed a question Instagram, asking my followers what they wanted to know about me. They asked, I answered. 

Why create? Let me tell you why...

Have questions, DM on instagram! Instagram.com/patienceandhustle

I talk about the primary equipment I use to record podcasts. 

I've been out of commission for the last couple of weeks, so this is what has been going on. 

The only way to truly grow authentically, is to be authentic. 

Make your message clear, by delivering content that is based around your brand and your mission. 

Making a good connection with your audience takes you being aware of the content you’re putting out. You want to post content that is within your brand. 

These things may not always look like it’s part of your brand, but if you understand a bit more of the individuals mission and goal in life, you’ll see why they post certain content. 

Let’s look at Grant Cardone, and Gary Vaynerchuck.

Grant Cardone has multiple companies, including a sales training company, and real estate company. At surface level, you would think that he would only be posting content that is around his businesses. Maybe just videos of him working with his team, one on one with a client, or pictures of some commercial real estate. You look on his Instagram and what do you see? You see a lot of videos of him speaking, you see promo videos, you see bits of the shows that he produces during the week. Then you see pictures and videos of his family, and occasionally videos of him and his wife working out, and you think “how does this fit into sales training, and real estate?” 

It’s all a part of his bigger “WHY”. His brand is about creating an abundant life so that you can really take care of you and your family’s life. To get out of the middle-class trap. For him, his family is a very big part of his brand, because that is what is at the core of his mission. Taking care of his family, and showing you what you need to do, in order to take care of yours.

Now Gary Vaynerchuck, doesn’t show his family in his content, because that’s his choice. He wants his family to be his own experience in a sense. His dad is on his vlog every once in a while, because of wine library TV. But Gary mainly focuses on what he does in the daily, to show you that it takes hard work and patience to make things happen. He is focused on removing the excuses you have for not doing what ever it is that you want to do, every day. Gary teaches exactly what you need to do to make money today, and how to grow your followers on social media, and how to create massive amounts of content. He does that by going out and flipping items he purchases at garage sales, because he grew up flipping baseball cards as a kid, and knows that it’s this easy thing that anyone can do. He talks about his $1.80 strategy of going on Instagram, looking up a hashtag, consume the content, and engage, then do that over and over. He runs a media company, but he’s talking about flipping stuff you buy at garage sales, or at target. Doesn’t seem like it matches with his company, but it matches his core “WHY”. 

If you’re posting some content on your page, make sure that it is in line with your brand. It should be a piece of what your overall mission is.

You want to make sure your viewer can easily understand your brand, what you do, what you stand for, what you’re accomplishing, and who YOU are. 

Right now, reach out to your current client base, and ask them to introduce you to three of their friends..

You need to make more money and grow this new business you have, and you think the only way to do that is to go out and knock on every door, send everyone a Direct Message, to spend money on advertisement. That is one way to do it, but there is a more effective way, to show quicker results. 

Getting your current client base to introduce you to at least 3 of their close friends, whom they think could benefit from your products and services, is the easiest way to start growing.

Pick up your phone and either call, or send a video to your current client, asking them this. “If you have received any value from my products and services, would you introduce me to 3 of your friends who could also benefit from the products and service that I offer?”

What will they say? If they find your products and services of any value, and they should, they will gladly introduce you to 3 of their friends. 

Why is this important?

Your client’s fiends, trust your client. Which means when you get the opportunity to speak with them, there will automatically be a foundation of trust built. They trust their friend, and they trust their friends recommendations. Now all you have to do is work on closing them on getting the same value that their friend is getting. 

Here’s the best part of this. When these new people become clients, you repeat the process. If one client can bring in 3 friends, and you close 2 of them, that’s now 2 new clients. Then if those 2 introduce you to 3 people each, and you close 4 of them, you now have 6 new clients in total. That’s a much easier, and quicker way to grow your client base. 

There’s value in cold calling, but when you get someone in the door who is warm , and trusting already, that’s much easier. 

You have an idea for a post, a video, a blog, or something else. You’ve posted it. A couple of likes. Maybe a comment. You start asking yourself, “how do I get more engagement on my posts?”

First of all, let’s not focus on the likes. Let’s focus on the comments. The DM’s. The real engagement. How do you get more of that?

There are 3 core elements that you will need to get more engagement on your content. If you go back and watch your favorite YouTube videos, Instagram posts, tweets, etc… You will see these 3 elements in every single one of them. 

1: Entertainment value

Entertainment comes in many different ways. It doesn’t have to be a cat falling off a dresser, or a funny joke told while screaming into a microphone, or even getting hurt trying to do some parkour. Unless are the things that are you niche, then by all means, do those things. Other than that, let’s look at a couple of people. Grant Cardone, and Gary Vaynerchuck. Why do they have so many views, comments, likes, follows, etc? 

Let’s start with their entertainment value. Look at the things they do, the places they go, the events they put on, the online shows they host. It’s fun to watch. You might not get to travel all over the world, or have a nice produced vlog, but you can harness this piece from them. They are doing the things they love to, and are having fun doing. That transcends into the production of the videos, the blogs, the webinars, the books, the Instagram posts, the live streams, and other content they put out. 

You need to be documenting the behind the scenes. Show people who you really are. Be yourself. Have fun! That’s a quick way to bring entertainment to your content. 

2: Solve a problem

There are a lot of different kinds of content out there. Some may go viral, or get a lot of engagement, and makes you start thinking “why is this so popular?” Yes, the content is entertaining, but what problem does it solve? Some content simply solves boredom, and the need for entertainment. What problem does Netflix solve? In a simple way, it fills the void of entertainment in your life. Maybe you cannot afford to go on trips, and have your own adventures. So, you watch them to get your fix. 

Solve a problem. People go to the internet for answers. Be the source of solving a problem in your niche. If you’re an automotive fanatic, maybe you are the go-to source of information on vehicles. Everything from simply repairs, to purchasing your next vehicle. You solve a problem, and people want it in an entertaining way, so it keeps them engaged. 

3: Call to action

So, here you are. You’re entertaining. You solve a problem. But now what? You need a call to action. Watch those popular videos you keep going back to on YouTube. You’ll see Grant Cardone, and Gary Vee asking “leave a comment on what you think of ….”, or “Be sure to comment, like and share” They add in the all-important call to action. It’s like in sales, you have to ask for the close. If you don’t ask, don’t expect to get anything. 

There are some easy ways to do this. You could pose a question to get someone’s opinion on the subject you’re talking about. It could be that you ask someone to leave questions in the comments. 

Example on the car fanatic scenario. If you’re comparing sports cars, you might get a poll from the audience member. Like, “Comment below, Ferrari, or Lambo?” or “If you were given any car in the world, what would it be? Comment below to let me know!”

Simply call to actions. Or the simple ASK, “If you liked this content, be sure to subscribe, like, comment, and share with a friend!” 

Easy enough right?

What are the 3 elements again?

1: Entertainment value 

2: Solve a problem

3: Call to action

This is an excerpt from my recent podcast episode on Personal Branding. Check out Tim Coe on his site timcoe.com for more marketing, and branding tips. 

This is a soundbite of a previous episode I did on personal branding. Hank Norman was brought on due to his expertise in the marketing, and branding field. He has worked with stars like Grant Cardone, Gloria Mayfield Banks, Mel Robbins, Tim Storey, and many many more.

On this episode I bring in two marketing, and branding, experts to help you improve your personal branding!

Tim Coe timcoe.com, and Hank Norman hanknorman.com

Thank you for tuning into Patience and Hustle Daily! I have a really big podcast coming soon that you will NOT want to miss! It’s all about the best and greatest tips on branding. I’m not doing the podcast alone though! I am bringing two amazing people to help me with it. I’m bringing in Tim Coe who is out of the UK, he is an incredible marketing expert, and bringing in the Hank Norman of 2 Market Media. Hank is a media guru who has worked with famous people like Grant Cardone! This will be an episode you will want to watch out! 

In the mean time while that is currently cooking, I want to bring you something fresh to hold you over and give you some added value.

I want to give you 3 things you can do to improve the audio quality of your podcast.

1 Get a pop filter, and move a little bit away from the microphone.  A pop filter will help screen out some of the air, to help prevent those “Plosives”, like the P, and B. With that you can position that about 5 inches away from the mic to also force you to keep your distance. Why though? This will help you will harsh sounds that may come through when speaking so it doesn’t Peak the signal and cause distortion. 

2 Set the recording level accordingly. When you’re testing out the sound, set the volume to just a little over half way on the meter.  You don’t want the recording level to be almost maxed out, because if you get louder it could peak the signal, again, causing distortion. When you go back to edit the audio, you can boost the signal, add in compression and make up the couple of decibels that were lost. Setting the recording levels correctly will help eliminate a lot of post editing issues you may come across.

3 When editing, you should always use what is called a “high pass filter” This is done with the Equalization plug in that is in the audio software you’re using. Whether that software is GarageBand, Ableton, ProTools, Audacity, Audition, or something else, it will have an EQ plug in. You’ll want to find a spot between 0 and typically 100 hz, where it just cuts out the low shelf noise, but doesn’t affect the natural sound of your voice. As you move it around, if you cut too much you’ll hear your voice sound thin, and not normal, so you just back it off until you don’t hear an actually difference in your voice. I know that seems weird, like, when you edit, it should change the sound of something, right? In most cases. With editing, sometimes it’s about eliminating something that just doesn’t add any quality. Using a high pass filter will help cut out any low humming noise that may just muddy up the audio quality. 

There you have it! 3 easy things you can do that will make a big difference! If you have questions, let me know! Hit me up, lance@patienceandhustledaily.com

Knowledge is NOT Power

You’ve heard knowledge is power. Well, I’m here to tell you that is wrong.

Knowledge is not power. 

Knowledge alone hold no power without action.

I recently met up with a buddy of mine, Eric Jones, who you can find on Instagram as Doctor Dapper. He is the owner of LFLS Shoes, like father like son, and Riff Marketing. He started giving me some really great advice to improve my Instagram page, and grow my brand. 

Later that day I started listening to a book called “The 12 Week Year” by  Brian Moran. In the beginning of the book he starts talking about this concept of “knowledge is power” is in correct, and that without action, knowledge is useless. That really got me thinking about what Eric had told me to do about my branding, and Instagram page. 

There are two options: 1- I can just keep doing what I do and ignore the knowledge I was given, or 2- I could take action and use the knowledge given that has been proven to work for him and many others that he has helped with their brands. 

So you see, the knowledge alone won’t help me unless I do something with that knowledge. 

Not all knowledge is created equal. So you have to first make sure you’re not just taking advice from just anyone. You want to see that they’re drinking their own medicine before you take a sip. Make sure this person you’re taking the knowledge from knows what they’re talking about, and show proven success with it. 

Is knowledge power? No, it is not. Knowledge with Action, is power. 

Record a video on your phone

Write it down

Type it out

Record a voice memo

Whatever you need to do, short the gap between the idea and the action of creating content.

Jason Howland shares insight on how to use tonality properly in sales, and just everyday interactions. Tonality is key to get the a message across, as it helps paint the full picture of what you're trying to say. It is what helps drive the proper emotion behind the words you're saying.

On today's show I discuss 3 ways one could use time to their benefit and how to master patience which can be your downfall in starting and growing yourself or a business.

Email me hello@thecomfortkillers.com to ask your questions. 

There will be times when you start asking yourself, if what you’re doing, is what you should be doing

Every day it seems it’s the same thing. 

You wake up, you do the work, you go to bed, you wake up, you repeat it. You keep pushing, and you keep doing, and it’s the same grind every day.

It can seem like you’re going nowhere.

I want you to know, that if what you are doing right now, is contributing to you being able to do whatever it is that you want to do in life, that you should stick to it. How do you know if it’s contributing? Ask yourself these questions, Am I learning new skill, or even improving on current skills, that will help me accomplish what I really want to do? Is this contributing to my mission, and goals monetarily? That’s it…two questions. If you answer YES to at least one, then it’s the thing you should be doing right now. 

Look, if it’s not contributing to you monetarily, then you have a few options. You either go find something within it that will contribute, or do something on the side that will contribute, or go find something else.

Look, I work a day job. It does two things for me. It teaches me new skills, and improves my current skills. Skills like, sales, leadership, management, organization. All things that will help me in the future. It also allows me to keep the lights on at my place, and help me pay for the programs, and equipment I need to do business, and now this business of audio editing, and video editing, pays for itself. This is why you should keep doing what it is that you’re doing.

I made a compilation video of Grant Cardone talking about the middle class, and how it is a trap. The mindset behind the middle class, is have just enough to survive, but the problem is that you're not really surviving. We were all sold on this idea of buying a home, going to college, investing in Wall Street, but that system is broken.

Sometimes you can have what seems like, a million things go wrong in a day.

You could start off by burning yourself on the stove, then have a flat tire, be late for a meeting, lose a client, get into a wreck, lose your wallet, stub your tub, forget to let the cat back in, and accidently leave grandma at the supermarket. It happens. Joking about the grandma part!

There are days, you know you’ve had them, where it seems as if nothing is going your way. One thing after another is not working out.

It’s not how you react to these situations, it’s about how you adapt.

To react is to “respond or behave in a particular way in response to something.” To Adapt is to “Make something suitable for a new use or purpose.”

When something goes presumably not in the way you intended, if you “react” you’re simply just responding, and not doing anything about. You may complain, or waste time, or pass blame.

If you adapt to that same circumstance, then you are taking action on it. So something doesn’t go according plan, rather than you sitting around complaining, or arguing, or some other reaction, you adapt to the situation at hand, and act on a solution.

From a business stand point, if you lost a client to a competitor, rather than curse, or scorn, or be upset, you should be following up with them, reaching out to new clients, getting referrals from existing clients. By adapting, you’re not wasting any time, and you’re formulating a solution rather than focusing strictly on the problem.

So instead of reacting when things go “wrong”, Adapt and overcome the situation.

So, this last week, I started working on improving my craft in video editing, and graphic design, which led me to this message to you today. It’s about the importance of constantly improving on what you do.

Here are a few reasons why you should be improving your skills, and how to do so

So, you now know a few reasons why, so HOW do you improve your skills?

Why are you not closing deals? Why is everyone slamming doors in your face? Why are you not getting the things you deserve?

Two quick tips to success in anything that you do. Let’s go

1: Find a problem, solve it, teach others to solve it.
Maybe the company you work for is trying to increase sales. Find ways to increase yours, then teach others the processes you took to do that. Or maybe they’re trying to improve efficiency in a particular area of the company. Take that on as your personal responsibility. When you can solve a problem in a company, or in an industry, you will start to stand out. Especially if you start teaching others how to solve it. This will help you also break out of obscurity, in the company. If the company doesn’t recognize your hard work, and give you credit, maybe you should you find a new company who values you, or start your own company to solve that problem for companies.

2: Give more value
Similarly to #1, these go hand in hand. When you seek out a problem to solve, more than likely you don’t get a paycheck to solve that particular problem. Here’s one example: Your job is to close deals, to make sales. A problem the company has is that their people aren’t making enough phone calls though. You’re not being paid to solve that problem, but if you take that problem on, give more to the company than what you’re paid to do, you’ll see more success in the company, and more opportunity. Same goes for when you’re working with a client. When the value exceeds price, price no longer becomes an objection, and makes closing the deal easier.

Being a Leader

Being a leader means telling someone the truth, that they don’t want to hear, but they need to hear. Imagine the injustice you’re doing by avoiding those important conversations? Imagine someone is not performing at their maximum level, or at the acceptable level. Do you leave it alone? Do you brush it under the rug, and not address it? That’s hurting not just them, but it’s hurting your company, your business, your customers. As a leader, you have to speak up, and take care of your household. If someone is bringing negativity into your place, or gossip, or slander, you cut that out as soon as possible. You don’t want that to spread, and trust me…it will.

It’s your duty, to protect the culture, your family at your business.

Here’s the best part about being a leader. You don’t have to wait to be given a specific title to become one. You first have to set high standards for yourself, and stick to them. Take charge. Take person ownership, and responsibility. You cannot tell someone to do something, that you are not willing, and doing, yourself.

When starting out, you may be wondering which medium is best to put your energy in to. Is it video? Is it audio? Is it written? Is it a combination?

The truth is, there’s not one that is better than the other overall. Each consumer, takes in information differently, and each creator produces content differently.

If you are a stronger writer than you are a speaker, then start with blogging.

If you are a stronger creator with video than writing, then do video content.

If you are stronger with just speaking rather than being in front of a camera or writing, then focus on audio.

You will want to focus on your strengths. Too often, you don’t start something because you’re not confident in your ability to do the task. So, in order to start, start with your strengths. You can always learn the other mediums as you go, but don’t let the fact that you’re not strong in one area, keep you from creating content around your message and mission.

There's too much noise around you. Learn to silence it.

Five pieces of content from one video. Your move.

This episode is really geared more toward those working at their resource center, or as most call it, the 9-5. Business owners, managers, supervisors, and everyone else, you should listen too. Today, I’m talking about the three different types of employees.   

There are three types of employees.

1: Those who do less than what they’re paid for

2: Those who do only what they’re paid for

3: Those who do more than they’re paid for

Those who do less than what they’re paid for typically complain before they get to work, when they’re at work, and when they’re off work. They don’t want to be there, they don’t like what they’re doing, they think they’re entitled to more than they’re getting. They’re constantly below goal, and pass blame to someone else on why they’re not hitting them. And you think you’re entitled? Guess what? You’re not entitled to anything!

Then there are those who do only what they’re paid for. They show up on time, they leave on time, they hit the bare minimum on goals. You can’t really count them off for anything, but you they don’t deserve praise either. Some of these people are looking for that praise. That pat on the back. Atta boys. Why? Because you showed up on time? Because you sold a few products? That’s what you’re being paid to do! You don’t deserve some congratulations, for doing the job you were hired to do. This is the real world. Not everyone gets a trophy for showing up.

The last group, the few and far in between, are those who do more than they’re paid to do. They find problems they’re not being paid to fix, and fix them. They take responsibility and go beyond what is expected. They show up earlier, and stay later. They never complain. They have made themselves valuable assets within the company. They are never satisfied and always pushing themselves further. They take care of themselves, and never ask for praise. They do the job, because they know what needs to be done, and then some. They innately build up others around them.

Let me ask you, out of those three types of employees, who do you want on your team? As an employee, which type are you? Now that you know the three types, which type will you now become?

ARE YOU MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Are you making a difference in the lives of others, and in yourself?

Today’s episode is a follow up to my previous episode, where I posed the question “how much money do you need today, to quit your job?” If it were tax free, how much would it be? What’s your number? And what would you do with it? 

I got a mix of answers. Some picking $100,000. Others $1mil, and some said even more than that. I dug a little deeper to see what folks would do after they got the money. Some would invest it, some would pay off debt, some would start a business.

What I want to make clear, is that this question isn’t about you being able to be bought out of your dreams. It’s really to help you figure out, at what point, what number, would you feel comfortable jumping ship into this idea.

Check this. If you had enough money in reserve to pay for your basic necessities like, housing, food, utilities, etc… that would last for 2-3 years, you could go focus on this business idea you have, and not worry about failing. At the end of the 2-3 years, if the business failed, or just didn’t get off the ground, you’ve lost nothing. You could go get a job again. You didn’t lose any money; you didn’t get behind on bills. That reserve money was strictly for living expenses only. The business had to pay for itself.

So if you were to accumulate, or be given enough funds to pay those basic needs, for 2-3 years, what kind of business would you start?

Service comes before money. Jason shares this concept of how you should pursue service with your customers, your friends, your spouse, everybody. Become a servant first.
