Just closed another 16k program (lead came from YouTube) YouTube was by FAR the best thing I ever did for my business! We get over 30 applications for our program each week... all from organic (YouTube) If you are on the fence about the value of YouTube - get off the fence

I live east of Cleveland Ohio in a county that is 10 years behind the rest of the world 🤣 we have horse and buggies here + some people who's beliefs are even more dated. That's why I started my podcast Today's Business Leaders. But back to my real intro, I've been an entrepreneur since I was a teenager and my company Business Marketing Engine is turning 18 years old this summer. We help our clients use deep relational principles in their marketing so they attract their ideal customers consistently. Here's what I want to get out of the mastermind: 1) Expand my community of like minded people. If you're a big fan Will like I am, then I can't wait to meet. He attracts the best of the best. 2) I want to level up my mindset and skill around client retention. We're growing there as a company, but I'm really looking to scale profits with higher retention this year and forward. 3) I also want to help anyone that I can with my hard won experience. Serving heart-centered entrepreneurs is a passion of mine. For fun I like to: 1) Be wordy. Just kidding, I'm working on that. 2) I love spending time nature with my friends and family. I do a ton of photography for fun. 3) Research and experience things I'm rabbit holing on. From tech, to marketing, to plant medicine. I'm extreme when I dig into something. 4) Have people on my podcast. I started it for fun years ago with no intention of monetization, and it's made me half a million. Talk about a fun time 😃 Here's my office at the end of the week, not as dirty as it gets sometimes, but it's definitely my magic place.

I wanted to share some value with you guys today... I have leveraged remote teams for years and used contract talent from Upwork for years. To be honest, written communication was a real challenge for me for many years. Running a brick and mortar business for the last 15 years really had me accustomed to doing belly to belly - in the room communication (wearing out my staff and driving them crazy). Over the years I have gotten much better and at this point it may actually be a strength of mine. Fast forward to today and I have some great working relationships with some vendors that I've never spoken a word to on a live call - everything has been done via email, slack or other. For instance, my video editor has worked with me for a few years and we have never spoken a word to each other! I share this with you because I now have a new automation engineer that I've been working with and things are going super great! I wanted to share with you some of the things we have been doing to help us work together and communicate effectively. I will share the document with you at the end but first I want to share some principles that I've found to be true... // The more you do something, the better you get (profound... I know) // // Most people suck at communication - be better than them // // When you spend lots of time thinking things out BEFORE the message or call - people notice! // // Most people half ass everything - be different // // A clearly spelled out task or email may take me 20-35 minutes to write // // It is unlikely that you are being too redundant or clear in your message - spell it out for them! // // Go the extra mile - nobody else does // *** ADHD moment *** I recently needed to source some talent for a project - I sourced someone from Upwork. Here's what I did... I created a project document (much like the one I will share with you today) and I clearly spelled out what I wanted out of the project. Pro tip - Chat GPT is great for helping you craft a job description for Upwork!
