Special Guest   Katya Sarmiento Scale up your business to 7-figure   5:35 I am originally from Miami, but now I live in Atlanta, GA. I help 6 figure entrepreneur scale up to 7 figure. It not because they are having a hard time get 7 figure, but it depends if it's going to go smoothly or not. A lot of my clients, before they work with me, they're in this chaos. The feel messy and overwhelmed.   " As a CEO, if you are doing everything, then you are not doing one thing really well."   15:34 I'll help you find what systems you need and that's rescue time. (www.rescuetime.com) and I tell this with everybody. This is what I first do with my client, is you install this application and it tracks what you do in the background. You no longer have to manually track whatever you are doing.   25:00 Even though, I didn't show up things kept running. The team knew what to do. I have setup the system and structure. They are very aware of it. Sometimes I would show up on a teen call and I would s

Special Guest Arion Zannotti Owner of Subscription Box Pitch Queen   3:27:  I am still scared of rubbing people the wrong way. In reality, I shouldn't really care. I  do have a very strong personality.I come from a family full of boastful, loud New Yorkers. The mean what they mean and they say it. Even if you do not like it, you are going to hear it and that is who I am. 13:02 ...who they use and what the pricing like, what discounts would take place once I got like 1000, 2000 etc. In addition to that, for the add on items I literally went into whole foods and say "Hey, I use this coffee scrub and I love it. Let me see if I can shoot them an email." I like I would go and still do go. 23:16 Investment is like courtship. You can always find you another babe, whose worth lasting, go with them. You also have to give them time. For instance. I have friends who've pitched on the same platform that I did. But they get 50% of the company and in the middle they decide…" You know that 50% was too mu

Special Guest: Marquel Russell Entrepreneur Coach 4:05 So, in a nutshell, what I do is I help people. For example, you are in a business, a coach or a consultant with some level of expertise. I will help you package that and get high ticket clients. So, when I say 'High Ticket Clients', I am saying my clients generally charging them from $3000 - $10,000 or more. 14:05 He was probably 3 or for, no maybe a little bit older actually. So, I took him to a fair. Me and his mom, I was like in a budget. There are things I can do at the fair. 24:25 So, it does not work like that and they see that. They have false expectation, then they might quit because true entrepreneurs, know that entrepreneurship is a long game. So, when somebody comes in about podcasting and the first question is "How do I monetize it?' then that's like low vibration question. 35:05 I have a belief that price is never an issue in the presence of value. SO, when it comes down to your marketing I think we can speaking to a specific target a

Kimberly Marie Clement Web/Graphics Designer Visual Merchandise Expert   4:00 Kimberly: Let me start from the begining on why I became an entrepreneur. It was an accident, it was not on purpose. At my last job from the one where I got laid off, I was ready to get laid off. I started my business because I needed to build my portfolio because when I graduated from college in the middle of the recession, it was hard for me to find a job. I am a web designer and graphic designer. At that time people weren't really hiring and I don't have any experience, so what I did was I started freelancing to get my own client and build my portfolio. Since I cannot get a job, I said I'll just create my own job.   10:00 Kimberly: So I was excited, me and my husband. When I find out that I was getting laid off, we went out and we toss out champagne. I am like, let's order some bottle of champagne and let's toss this cause I have to get myself it that mindset. If I didn't, then I will be looking for another job. I was e

So now, you want to go beast mode and running people in a storm. You do not know what you are doing on facebook and you want to grind and you want to work so the people have an idea what's going on in your life.

This episode will not be long but will be impactful. I just want to say. I hope you know what you want in your life and not chasing the wrong thing.

So, I was really think so much.A lot of things I am thinking about and I was able to do some reflection. I have come in contact with a lot of things.

Ironically, it is me sitting on a couch potato doing nothing about it and seeing all these other people living there absolute biggest dreams. And I was just kind of sitting there, like 'Okay, it is my time! I am doing being a benchwarmer' 23:00 I am tired working for the men and I want to be able to work for myself. So, when I left my firm. What ends up happening is that, they were like 'Look, we want you to stay but we understand that you want to branch out and do your thing' So, they actually gave me a check for $24,000 just to say " Thank you for what you've done for us and really appreciate it". Now, I took that $24k and I invested every single penny in stocks. I left nothing to my

You have got to get somebody to show you a way. I do not know about us in our community and just the mindset of " you gotta figure it out on your own. It is the worst way to go.   24:00 You go through that and you see, it is not as bad as you think it is. It also helps me not be fearful of things because I have been there. So, supposed like man I do not want to start this business. What if I fail. I mean, I know exactly what failure look like and I am not scared of that.   33:00 They fail most of the time because they are targeting the bottom of the market and you hear people say things that logically m

Join our FB community: Deeper Than A Podcast   Quote of the Day: None of us really changes overtime. We only become more fully aware. - Anne Rice   You growing as a person, you work on yourself every single day. Over time you'll have new break through and realization. People convince us that we change and that we are a different person. But, that is not the case. The case is we only become more fully aware as a person.

Special Guest Shameca Tankerson   3:30 Okay. So, I have been an entrepreneur for a long time. 2006, when I started as an entrepreneur and it has been a crazy long journey of really figuring stuff out and being able to step up, knowing what I really need to do. There are a lot of things going on, a lot of pretending, a lot of facade, worrying about what other people are going to think and so, I stuck on something that kept me for a little while. I just kept struggling because I keep trying to look at other people's expectation of me. 13:30 There was something inside of me that said. You are in it now! Enjoy it! I just surrendered the moment and that is how it changed. Everyday of my life, I am surrendering to the moment. Like, you only have one life. You do not know when that is going to be gone. 23:30 … to allow myself permission to have clients and to let people pay me, cause that is what is happening. I was certain I want client, but I would sabotage every step of the way cause there was something

Quiana T Murray Sponsorship Expect   5:00 Because, generally speaking were very loyal to certain brands and certain companies. And by the time normally. You get fans from people who throwing money at this small business and that large corp. Wants loyalty. 15:00 Up to 6 figure sponsorship. Package. You just need to diversify. Maybe you'd pick 20 companies and go for 5k or maybe 20K, but you know diversify in one and then be stuck if thay don't renew. 25:00 Of ourse, of course. I taught event planners on how to do this. Now, it is something that they will only offer their own clients. But, Yes. Like what I always say. We are entrepreneur in so many different hack.

Quote of the Day: Don't ask why someone keeps hurting you. Ask why you keep letting them.   This is about the way people approach you. A lot of times we get mad when somebody says 'Hey, can I get a discount" or we get mad when we are on the phone with a client or something then they say "I didn't know it will be that much".   How do we stop that? How do we combat that? We figure out what we are doing wrong. Success is an inside job. Entrepreneur has an inside job. It is all about looking in the mirror and try becoming the best version of you/ yourself.
