The world’s leading life coach reveals what gives high-achievers the edge

If you’re ever scrolling through your social media feeds and you see a personal development quote that strikes a chord with you (in all the right ways), it’s most likely from today’s podcast guest.

His name is Brendan Burchard, and I have a hunch that you’ve probably heard of him. ;-)

He is a 3-time New York Times bestselling author (if you haven’t read his book High-Performance Habits, then READ.IT.NOW.), a globally respected high-performance coach, and one of the world’s most-watched, followed, and quoted personal development trainers in the world.

You’ve heard me talk about Brendan on the podcast a ton, and it’s because he is the OG of digital content and online education. Seriously! He was an influencer before it even became cool.

And beyond that, Brendan is one of the first people that inspired me to ditch the corporate world and embrace entrepreneurship (more on our first meeting, and what he said to get me to take action, in the episode.)

We talk all-things ambition and achievement, PLUS:

Brendan’s surprising journey to becoming one of the most sought after high-performance coaches in the world
How to move on from the victim mentality after two really tough years of the pandemic
6 specific habits you should commit to if you want to be successful in the long term, and how to put them in your daily practice
Two areas of marketing Brendan would focus on if he had to rebuild his business from scratch
The BEST piece of advice Brendan has ever gotten, and his most proud piece of content that resulted from that advice

After listening to this episode, you’ll 100% understand why I am such a Brendan Burchard #fangirl.

Plus, just to make things extra fun, I’ve created a free quiz that you can take to get a curated Online Marketing Made Easy playlist that is specific to where you are on your entrepreneurial journey.

Here’s a glance at this episode.

[29:20] High-Performance Habit #1: Seek Clarity. High performers, more often than underperformers, seek clarity. Doing so requires discipline in asking for help and finding out who you are.
[30:41] High-Performance Habit #2: Generate Energy. High performers do things specifically to stimulate mental, emotional, and physical energy, like practicing meditation, exercising frequently, and eating well.
[31:41] High-Performance Habit #3: Raise Necessity. Necessity means that you have the psychological need for success. There needs to be a clear reason for doing what you’re doing and the meaning behind it.
[35:54] High-Performance Habit #4: Become More Productive. High performers are determined to continuously increase their productivity and do things like blocking time, and taking a break every 50 minutes to recharge.
[41:03] High-Performance Habit #5: Develop Influence. We must have influence for people to believe in us, buy from us, cheer for us, or open doors for us.
[44:42] High-Performance Habit #6: Demonstrate Courage. Courage means that you take action even when there’s risk, doubt, or uncertainty. High performers are also not afraid to speak up for themselves and others.

#428: 430 Episodes, 9 Years, Over 34 Million Downloads & The Truth About My Podcast

1 Recommendations

The good, the bad, and the ugly about the platform that reaches millions

Have you ever thought about starting a podcast, only to later question if you have what it takes (time, energy, experience, expertise) to do it?

If this sounds anything like you, then read on my friend--because I’m about to share the honest-to-God TRUTH about how I feel about podcasting, and my personal experience creating hundreds of episodes of Online Marketing Made Easy.

And even if you haven’t considered starting a podcast, here’s why you should tune in:

The podcast industry has absolutely blown up in the past few years, and with that, so have listeners. Fifty-five percent of people in the United States listen to podcasts–that’s up 51% from 2019!

I’m no mathematician, but I do know that’s a BIG increase in listenership, and an even BIGGER opportunity to target (and reach) your audience.

But... just because podcasts are getting a lot of traction, does that mean that it’s the right platform for you? My hope is that this episode helps you to figure that out.

In it, I’ll break down:

What I absolutely love about podcasting and how it can help you to grow your online business, too
My top 3 takeaways from creating hundreds of episodes of Online Marketing Made Easy
The biggest struggles that I have had along the way, and what to consider before getting started
What has made the countless Bulletproof coffee-fueled nights all worth it

For those of you that have been with me for a while, you know that the Online Marketing Made Easy podcast has been a true labor of love--and for that reason, I am especially excited to share this episode with you.

#430: 5 Goals I’m Committing To This Year

The strategies I’m using to feel great AND accomplish my goals in 2022 .

That’s right, friend! I am getting fully transparent with you about what I am doing to set myself up for success in 2022.

I have always been big on goal setting, planning, and setting intentions for the year ahead (it’s a BIG part of why I’ve seen such success as an entrepreneur)...

... but as you know, I struggled with some unexpected depression and anxiety in 2021. This year, I am determined to get ahead of it.

That’s why I’m trying out some FRESH approaches to goal setting that will not only help me to achieve some really cool things both personally and professionally, but ALSO get me in the right mindset before taking on each challenge that I set for myself.

Because let’s be honest -- ”success” and “achievement” are not only about what you accomplish, they’re just as much about how you FEEL.

In this episode, I’ll share:

The goal-setting strategy I LOVE that puts emphasis on how you want to feel, not what you do
The 5 goals that I’ve set for myself in 2022, why I chose to set those particular goals, and how I plan to achieve them
How I set goals that are challenging yet attainable

I’m hoping that by listening to this episode, you’ll hold me accountable, stay motivated to accomplish the goals you’ve already set for yourself in 2022, AND be inspired to get back on the horse if you’ve fallen victim to the infamous #QuittersDay (more on that in the episode.)

Here’s a glance at this episode...

[04:01] One new thing I’m trying in 2022 is identifying the core feelings that I want to experience this year. I want to feel trusting, courageous, energized, in the zone, and luminous while I'm working on my goals and after I achieve them.
[10:27] Take action: What are 3-5 feelings you want to experience over and over again this year? Think about how you want to feel and write it down.
[11:08] Goal #1: Do the 29029 challenge. This is where you climb a mountain a certain amount of times (in a certain amount of time). All in all, it adds up to the equivalent of climbing Everest.
[14:20] Goal #2: Create a certification program for my business. I don't know what it looks like, but I’m going to put together ideas this year and launch it in 2023.
[15:39] Goal #3: Take a sabbatical. I've been dreaming of taking a sabbatical for years, but in 2022 I’m actually doing it. I'm taking off the last half of May and the entire month of June to spend at my lake house.
[17:50] Goal #4: Create a project plan for my new book. My book won’t launch until January of 2023, but I need to have an entire project promotion plan dialed in by 3/31.
[21:40] Goal #5: Create a 3-year vision of my company. I want to scale the business and incorporate different models that I’ve never tried before, which means I need to plan further out.
