“What if You’re a Small Fish in a Big Pond? (Competition 101)” - Episode 9
Boss Talk with Chris Ellis
08/23/22 • 29 min
“Why would anyone want to buy anything from little ole me?”
For many of us (including me once upon a time) it’s inconceivable that we could compete with other bigger, more established brands. The good news is... YOU CAN... and the strategy isn’t as hard as you would imagine.
Today’s episode is...
“What if You’re a Small Fish in a Big Pond? (Competition 101)”
What happens in this episode?
I’m going to explain the three biggest mistakes people make when they try to compete with larger brands. Then I’m going to explain the simple strategy I use in my business to compete with the top business coaches in my own industry.
Why is this episode so important?
As the saying goes, “Cause scared money don’t make money.” Learning the ins and outs of how to be competitive will give you the backbone you need to finally say yes to your dream!
Episode Highlights
- Faking it till you make it is not only a dumb strategy but it’s a dangerous one.
- A boring but clear brand will ALWAYS outdo a clever marketing strategy.
- “Business” is just the act of creating conversation that transitions strangers into customers.

Mark Gets His Breakthrough In 20 Minutes! - Episode 6
Boss Talk with Chris Ellis
08/02/22 • 20 min
Here’s the scenario. You’ve got a talent... BUT... you’re scared to charge money for it because, “What if no one wants to pay for it?” So you just keep giving it away for free. That was Mark’s situation, before our session.
Today’s episode is...
Mark Gets His Breakthrough In 20 Minutes!
What happens in this episode?
Today I’m going to take you behind the scenes of my business and you’re going to hear a real “Brainstorm-2-Breakthru” session, featuring a new client.
“Brainstorm-2-Breakthru” sessions are pretty straight forward.
New clients tell me what business or talent they’d like to make money from.
They tell me the one thing that’s stopping them from moving forward.
Then, I use my years of experience to provide them with a solution in 20 minutes or less!
In this session, Mark James Heath (a community event organizer) talks about wanting to get to the next level of his career. His only problem is... He doesn’t know how to ask people to pay him for his services.
Why is this episode so important?
Most people think they're talented, but not talented enough to actually be paid as a professional. If you fall in that category, chances are you need to unpack some negative mental programming, just like Mark does in this session.
Episode Highlights
- There’s power in seeing yourself as an “opportunity” instead of “a bill”.
- Respecting your customers’ “true values” is the secret to getting paid for what you do.

Here’s the scenario. You want to pursue a new career... BUT... this career requires you to have open availability in your schedule. You work a day-job with a very strict schedule. How do you pursue your passion, without getting fired from your job? This was Leslye’s issue, before our session.

How to Figure out Your Value And Competitive Edge - Episode 12
Boss Talk with Chris Ellis
03/21/23 • 18 min
Let’s say, right before a sale, a potential customer asks, “You sound great but why should I pick you over these guys?”.
Do you have a good answer? Hell, do you have an answer at all?
If you don’t, you’re in luck. I’m going to show you step by step how to come up with a kick-ass response.
Today’s episode is...
How to Figure out Your Value And Competitive Edge
What happens in this episode?
This episode will highlight, yet another important, step in the “No B.S. Start-Up Checklist”. Specifically, I’m going to explain how to identify the most important reasons customers should do business with you.
Why is this episode so important?
Because deep down the main reason many of you won’t start a business is because you’re scared of rejection. You’re scared that you can’t compete with people that are bigger than you, more successful, more experienced than you, etc. But I’m going to show you that none of that really matters once you understand your true value in the marketplace.
Episode Highlights
- Figuring out your true value often comes from redefining your “weaknesses'' as strengths. Example: Don’t think of yourself as “inexperienced”. Instead, you can say that you “approach every job from a fresh perspective, in order to create solutions that are uniquely customized to your client’s needs”.
- You can also find a competitive edge simply by identifying common complaints customers generally have when doing business with someone else.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Don’t forget to grab your copy of the No B.S. Start-Up Checklist + Guidebook at https://www.chrisellis.tv/checklist
As a good friend said in this episode I’m “Crazy for giving it out for free. It’s good”. LOL.
Also, please share this link with friends, family, coworkers, social media timeline, etc.
Help me with my mission is to make entrepreneurship a basic life skill by helping distribute this simple 7-step checklist far and wide!!!

Quitting is NOT the same as FAILING - Episode 8
Boss Talk with Chris Ellis
08/16/22 • 55 min
I recently closed the doors on a business I co-founded. Why am I not sad? ‘Cause now we’re more successful than ever!!!! Today, my business partner (Dr. Sarah Ellis) and I, tell you all the gory details about what made us “quit”... and why that was “a boss ass move”.
Today’s episode is...
Quitting is NOT the same as FAILING
What happens in this episode?
I interview Dr. Sarah Ellis about the rise and “fall” of Ellis Family Wellness, a health consultation business we co-founded. We decided to close our doors after realizing that the services we provided weren’t truly aligned with our passion (i.e. educating people on how they can live their best lives).
Why is this episode so important?
There are a lot of people right now that are keeping themselves stuck in a place because it “makes sense” instead of following their true passion. And today, I want you to have a first hand look at what life can be when you choose passion / purpose over what makes sense.
Episode Highlights
- Brick-and-mortar businesses can easily create more problems than they solve.
- Your qualifications don’t equal your real value.
- Quitting is never a failure when it re-aligns you with activities that are most important to you.

Interview with a Success Story - Alonia Taylor - Episode 5
Boss Talk with Chris Ellis
07/26/22 • 53 min
In this episode, I interview a client Alonia Taylor. She’s a dreamer with a day job. We talk about how I helped her finally take the necessary steps to becoming a professional writer.
Today’s episode is...
“Interview with a Success Story - Alonia Taylor”
Or
From “Fantasy” to Reality in 25 Days!
What happens in this episode?
I have my first interview on the podcast with a client and aspiring writer Alonia Taylor. We talk about how she went from being too afraid to even call herself a writer, to having a fantasy novel and a marketing strategy fleshed out in less than a month.
I drop a lot of gems about how aspiring artists can make tons of cash from what they do. If you’re an aspiring artist of any kind, you definitely don’t want to miss this one.
Why is this episode so important?
Alonia is a regular grown ass person, with a day job and a burning passion to do more with her life. She was stuck in the muck of her everyday grind, probably just like you. My hope is that by seeing what’s possible for her, you’ll be inspired to finally say, “YES!” to your dream.
This episode shows the power of actually working with a professional business coach. You’ll see in this episode that my aptitude for “getting shit done” gave Alonia a set of solutions she never even knew were available.
Episode Highlights
- Trying to launch a “practical business” is a recipe for disaster. It’s smarter to go after impractical dreams than boring, seemingly attainable ones.
- “Starving artists” are just people who only have one revenue stream for their business.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Don’t forget about the “312 challenge”!
Like I said in this episode, I’m giving every listener the same opportunity as Alonia got when we first met.
Meaning, I’ll let you pick my brain about whatever business idea you have -- FOR FREE
Just text / call me at 312-521-0509
Introduce yourself and say, “Hey, I got this big idea. I want to get off the ground. Can we talk about it”
I am going to give you a link to a FREE 20-minute mini-coaching session and I’ll talk with you all about your idea.
Don’t be shy. You’re one text away from a breakthrough!
Thanks for listening to Boss Talk and I’ll see you next episode.
