250: Redesign Your Business to Work Less, Earn More and Be Free

With The Freedom Plan Author Natalie Sisson

by

This week on the podcast, I’m fortunate to again welcome a returning guest, someone I think is simply an awesome individual.

Her name is Natalie Sisson, and you’d have to go all the way back to Episode #023 to hear our first chat together. Hard to believe it’s been over 5 years.

Natalie’s new book is one I’m learning a lot from, and I believe you will too, especially if you’re attempting to run your own business, or you plan to one day.

It’s called The Freedom Plan: Redesign Your Business to Work Less, Earn More and Be Free. In it, you’ll learn exactly how and what you need to create your own unique freedom plan that allows you to do the work that matters, that gives you purpose and puts a dent in this world–all while living your perfect day, every day.

Today’s episode, the first of 2019, is special. I’ll be sharing three books I believe you must read if you want to make the most of 2019.

All three of these books have been featured selections in my members-only online book club – more on that later.

Two of these books have been featured right here on the podcast.

And one of them is my favorite book of 2018

244: Building a Successful Business Through Faith in People and a Culture of Hospitality

With Author Cameron Mitchell

by

I was reluctant at first when I became aware of the book I’m featuring on today’s show.

I wasn’t convinced there was much for me to learn about business from someone running a successful restaurant company.

Call me narrow-minded, but I had doubts about whether the success traits in what I see as a cutthroat industry could possibly be universal. Boy, was I wrong.

Today, author and restaurant success story, Cameron Mitchell, visits the guest chair to discuss his brand new book Yes is the Answer. What is the Question?: How Faith in People and a Culture of Hospitality Built a Modern American Restaurant Company.

Cameron succeeded against all odds, having dropped out of school and run away from home as a teenager. His story is truly a “dish room to boardroom” tale.

243: Success in Business Begins with Clarity

With Clarity Wins Author Steve Woodruff

by

Just a few weeks ago, I’d never even heard of today’s guest. It’s amazing how fast you can take to someone else’s message when it’s delivered in the right way.

That is certainly the case for Steve Woodruff, the King of Clarity, and my guest today on the show.

In a world filled with noise and distraction, the secret weapon any business can use to break through, Steve says, is CLARITY: Clarity of strategy (leading to focused direction), and clarity of messaging (leading to sales and referrals).

Clarity Wins: Get Heard. Get Referred is a proven handbook to create competitive advantage in any marketplace. You don’t have to spend a million dollars to rise above the noise and grow referrals. You just need to learn how to be clear.

Listening to this episode will ensure you’re headed in the right direction!

The 5 Mindset Shifts You Need to Know!

by

Several of my guests this month are authors who are making return visits to the show. Today’s guest is one of them.

Farnoosh Brock first appeared on Read to Lead on episode #039 all the way back in April of 2014.

Well, with The Serving Mindset, you’ll learn how to serve, elevate your business success, and fell great all at the same time!

The book walks you through the process of why and how to acquire this “serving mindset” and put it into practice.

If you hate sales, this book will help you diagnose the source of this issue, understand how your mindset affects your sales directly, and discover a fresh approach to selling as serving.
