Some of the gems I got out of this interview with Rene Brent is that our subconscious is our boss. When we react strongly to situations, it is because of beliefs and values that we have, instilled in us from a very young age, that we may or may not realise we have.

Sometimes these are positive beliefs. Other times they are negative, destructive beliefs.

The next time you react strongly to something, take a note of what it was that you reacted to.

What I got out of this interview with Eric Schaumburg, Founder and CEO of Eventr.io:
1. Slow Growth Business Model

There's a lot of noise today about building and selling businesses fast, which is awesome as long as it is not at the expense of the integrity of your product or service. Not all businesses are the same. Some take much more time to develop than others. Give your business the necessary time it needs to grow and don't rush it.

2. Lean Startup

Don't spend a lot of time and money on the first rollout of your product or service without testing it on your target market first. Get as much real market feedback as you can as you develop your product and service. It will save you wasting a lot of capital and effort.

What I got out of this interview with Luigi Wewege of Vivier & Co:
1. Test Your Market Quickly

Vivier & Co spent a lot of time and resources trying to educate the Asian market, and it didn't end up bearing any real fruit. The mistake they made was trying too hard for too long on a market that wasn't ready.

2. Use Comparison Sites

If there are any comparison sites out there for your industry, make sure you get on them!

If there aren't any... maybe create your own.

Here’s a transcription of the podcast:

What I wanted to talk about today was the best free and paid traffic sources for 2016.

These are traffic sources that I highly recommend.

Many of them I personally use but I don't use every traffic source available. Sometimes it is not wise to do that. You can't gain traction if you try too many things.

But most of these traffic sources I personally do use. Some of these I don't but I know that they do work as they come highly recommended from people that I know that are doing very very well in Internet marketing.

Best Paid Traffic Sources for 2016

I'll begin with paid traffic.

The reason why I'll start off with paid traffic is because it's very quick and easy, especially if you are starting up, to get traffic.

A lot of free traffic generation strategies take time to build up but paid traffic is instant.

PPV Networks

The first one that comes to my mind and that I personally use is PPV paid traffic, or Pay Per View.

This traffic is typically popups that will appear on people's computer that a part of PPV networks, which they allow to appear.

Basically you can have your website, i.e. your squeeze page or landing page, literally popup before target people because you can specify when this popup appears.

An example of this would be an online florist. They would have their popup to appear when anyone is visiting any website related to florists and flowers.

You can even have your popup to appear over competitor sites!

Another reason why I like PPV is that you can target specific countries that you want your ad to appear in.

PPV advertising is also extremely low cost. We are talking less than 1 cent for your
website to actually popup.

It’s excellent for optins because you can have, for example, a squeeze page or landing page appear.

When it comes to paid traffic there isn’t a better source.

There are a lot of different PPV networks out there. I’ve tried many of the best ones, and the ones that I’ve gotten the best results with are:

Propel Media (formerly known as Trafficvance)
50onRed

Be aware that you’ll need to pony up $1,000 upfront to join Propel Media and LeadImpact. You can use that for your own advertising though.

This is a good thing for you,

When it comes to business planning, there aren't many more qualified than Paul Morgan of Plan2Profit.

Paul is a long-time serial entrepreneur turned successful plan consultant. Paul's business ownership career started in the early 1990's with the launch of a successful clothing store and restaurant and throughout the decades to follow Paul has been involved with hundreds of businesses at an advisory level.

Even now he's involved with 6 different businesses, including Plan2Profit which we'll be talking about today.

Topics discussed during this podcast episode include;

Why do most people, when starting a business, don't plan?
Is it true that 85% of business startups fail within the first 5 years?
What are some key things you need to have in place before spending any money on your business and making any leasing commitments, etc

20:40 - Paul's final thoughts
What I got out of this interview about Business Planning with Paul Morgan:
1. You Know Nothing

Just because you have an idea for a business doesn't mean you know anything about running a successful business. If you haven't done it before, you know nothing.

2. A Fully Developed Business Plan

A fully developed business plan has four must-have parts:

i) Business concept
ii) Financial forecast
iii) Marketing plan
iv) Good team of professionals supporting you

"Most coaches get paid little to nothing." Todd Tresidder doesn't hold back any punches, and he doesn't sugar coat it. He tells it as it is, because he's been there.

For years, Todd struggled at how to get more clients. Not just any clients, but his ideal clients. Eventually, Todd cracked the code and sold out his financial coaching business where he was charging $600/hour!

In this interview with Todd Tresidder, he generously reveals all his secrets on how to get more clients, and how you can apply it to any coaching/consulting business.

Topics discussed during this podcast include;

The 2 traps almost all new service-based business owners make
What you need to know about your ideal client BEFORE you begin your marketing
Examples of direct and indirect marketing, and how to use them both
And much more!

What I got out of this interview about How to Get More Clients with Todd Tresidder:
1. Understand Your Target Market

You have to know them BETTER than they know themselves. Wow them by sharing insights into why they are going through what they are, that they didn't even know existed.

2. Go For Gold

Don't try to be everything to everyone. Identify your ideal client and what keeps them up at night. Create your service offering around that.

3. Marketing Machine

If you spend too much time on marketing, which you don't get paid anything for, you're reducing how much money you make per hour. Create a marketing machine that will filter out your ideal clients, and that will work for you on autopilot.

26:00 - How to contact Todd Tresidder
What I got out of this interview about Best Google SEO Practices with Todd Tresidder:
1. Less Content Is Better

My previous thinking was that the more articles I publish, the more changes I'll get visitors from Google searches. That is true, however, if your articles overlap with closely related content, it can and will hurt you.

With Google, its all about quality, not quantity.

Consolidate your content and get rid of out of date articles.

2. Backlinking

Trying to create your own backlinks, e.g. through guest posts on other people's websites, will get results for you... but only temporarily. Your page one Google position will not stay there for long.

What really matters is if your content is the authority. If it is, then others will backlink to you and you'll stay on page 1 of Google indefinitely.

Here's what I got out of this interview with Financial Gravity's John Pollock...
1. Not all CPA's are CPA's

Sadly, many CPA's are very proactive. They will play on the safe side and give you 'yes' and 'no' answers, but won't help you find solutions to help you save money.

2. Business Tax Codes

Business tax codes are there to encourage and foster small business owners. Knowing this helps you to get the most of the deductions that are available to you.

3. Don't Take 'No' For An Answer

If a CPA or financial planner says it can't be done, get a second or third opinion. There is always a way.

Here's what I got out of this interview with Kwame Christian...
1. We negotiate every day

It's hard to go a single day without negotiating. We negotiate at home, at school, at work and in business. Anytime you enter a communication with someone where either one of you, or both of you, want something, you negotiate.

2. Important negotiation strategies

When entering a negotiation, you need to a) prepare for the negotiation, b) listen to the other person, c) look for a 'win-win' situation.

3. Don't be afraid to negotiate

Negotiating is not a bad thing! As long as you are respectful, you will always be satisfied with your life if you negotiate. If you don't negotiate, you will never get the things you want.

The banks and the Government WILL take your money. It's just a matter of when. Just ask Damion Lupo.

Sorry, your 401k and superannuation accounts are not safe.

Most people don't realize what measures governments have taken to get out of debt, including taking their own citizens money. Most people don't also realize just how much they're paying in exorbitant fund manager fees, that they just don't need to.

In this interview with Damion Lupo, he shares with us some great insights into what is really happening with your retirement fund. The government is not going to take care of your finances for you. Neither is your hedge fund manager.

No one will take care of your finances better than you can. The good news is that there are a lot of options available for you.

Topics discussed during this podcast include;

Why your 401k or superannuation account is not safe
The options you have in what you can do with your retirement money
Why you shouldn't trust banks and fund managers

1. No one is going take as good care of your money as you will

Don't trust your money to anyone. Take care of it yourself. You'll save a ton of money in fees and will be able to get a better return.

2. The banks will fail again

Don't leave your retirement money, or any other large sums of money in the bank. Just as the banks failed in 2008, they will fail again. This time they will fail even more dramatically.

2. How to find a good financial advisor

When seeking out a financial advisor you really need to do your due diligence. Ask colleagues who they use and if they are happy with them. Find out if they are respected by their peers (do they give industry presentations?). Are they proactive in helping you identify potential weaknesses?

Want expert advice on automating your business?

Family, friends and colleagues thought Joshua Latimer was crazy when he gave up his career with J.P. Morgan and Chase to begin a cleaning business!

That cleaning business went on to regularly do $150,000 per month in revenue before he sold it to move to Costa Rica with his family.

In the last 2 years before he sold the business, it was so automated that Joshua only worked 5 hours per week, and was able to grow it 35% per year.

There's a lot of great content in this interview...

Topics discussed during this podcast include;

How Joshua grew his business from a one-man operation, to a $150,000/month business
Knowing when to begin hiring staff
Changing your mindset and letting go of your business

Here's what I got out of this interview on automating your business with Joshua Latimer...
1. All great businesses start small

Have an idea for a multi-million dollar business? It starts with you.

Start your business today and develop your client base, your systems, and then start hiring staff when you're ready to scale it into the vision you have.

2. It's not about you

Your business should never be about you. Create your business around the vision and systems processes.

The more you remove yourself and are constantly automating your business, the more the business can grow and you can have the money and the lifestyle you want.

3. Hire staff based on attitude and culture fit

You can teach your staff how to do the work, but you can't change attitudes. Hire people that are a fit for your business culture.

Many of us don't appreciate how much we know in our chosen niche, and how much we have to offer to the public. Don't wait to be an expert. You already are if you know more than the average person out there.

2. Get over yourself

Don't like to speak in public? No one does! Get out of your comfort zone and just go for it. It only gets easier as you do it (and it does come easy after only a little while).

3. Your niche is interesting

No matter what niche you are in, you can come up with interesting, relevant topics that people will be keen to listen to.

2. Business opportunities are everywhere

Don't go looking for a good business idea. They are all around us. Look for ways to better serve your market.

3. Use more video

Video is the best medium for your advertising, for product creation and for traffic and lead generation.

20:00 - How Jessica helps podcasters and those wanting to appear as a guest on podcasts
20:45 - Jessica's final thoughts
Here's what I got out of this interview with Jessica...
Get started on your podcast immediately.

Don't wait until you feel that you've got your format down, or that you have a unique message to share, or that your intro music is good enough, blah, blah, blah.

In the beginning no one cares. Get started now and you'll develop your podcast as you go along.

Starting your own podcast? Keep it simple!

Don't go all out and buy an expensive microphone and audio editing equipment. You don't need it.

In the beginning the only thing you need is a half-decent mic. You can get one for around $60 and that's all you really need to get started.

I still use free audio editing software like Audacity today.

Having your own podcast gives you greater control

There are not many opportunities to have your own media outlet where you have complete control. With a podcast you are able to communicate with your followers in a unique, personal way...

...and offer that to your guests. This gives you the opportunity to have high-quality guests on your show imparting valuable content that will benefit both you and your listeners.

24:00 - Filip's resources to help new startups
24:30 - Filip's final thoughts
Here's what I got out of this interview with Filip...
The first thing that this interview did was reinforce just how powerful the Amazon FBA opportunity is and that it is the best way for people to get started creating a new online business for themselves.

Whenever family and friends come to me asking, "what is the best way to make money online?", for the past 18 months I have been telling them to start an Amazon FBA business.

The second thing I got out of this interview is that to be successful in business, you need to do things a little different than everyone else.

If you're selling the 'same' stuff as your competition, you won't stand out, and if you don't stand out, you'll have to divide the spoils equally with your competitors.

By creating physical products that are a little different, especially if they are in some way better than the competition, you'll be a lot more profitable.

Those that do well in their field do so because they put in the effort to be the very best they can be.

Think outside the box with your marketing

Don't do what everyone else is doing. Get to understand your client and their market, and then come up with a targeted strategy to reach that specific market. Always be in front of your market.

24:15 – How to get Eliot’s latest book

The main insights I got out of this interview with Eliot are that we need to always be asking ourselves questions that focus on the end result; good or bad.

An example of this would be customer experience in your organisation. Questions you could be asking yourself include:

- What do I want my customers to say about me?
- What will make my customers want to refer their friends to me?
- If a customer is not happy with their purchase, or the purchasing experience, how will I make it up to that customer to keep them happy?

Once we've asked ourselves these questions, we can them make plans to bring these scenarios into reality.
