The entrepreneurs I work with are not normal entrepreneurs. They are the hardest charging, hardest driving, most overwhelmingly momentum-driven entrepreneurs on the planet. I don't meditate. I can't meditate. I don't want to meditate. I hear all of these from entrepreneurs when I asked them the simple question “do you meditate?” I understand why. For people like us who can't turn it off and don't know why anyone would want to, the idea of clearing our minds seems impossible and unnecessary. The way meditation is presented by most people who have figured it out it's so ambiguous and difficult to understand that it makes just about anyone feel like they can't get there. Meditation isn't about clearing your mind, having a spiritual or religious experience. There is a better way to look at this that will create massive momentum for you and for everyone around you. The fact is, here's what meditation is. It's taking a short period of time where you slow your breathing. Breathe in and out through your nose exclusively. You don't do anything else but sit there and breathe. You allow your system to reset, you allow calm to come over you, and you feel a physiological contrast from when you started, to when you finish. And if you're willing to go to charfen.com/meditate, and download the two-minute meditations that I recorded, right now you can try one and see. What is the contrast from before you started, to after? Here's what I want you to feel. Did the tension in your shoulders release? Did the tension in your forehead release? Do you feel like your lungs are more expanded? Do you feel more present, more aware, more vibrant, more able to do more? Because when I meditate, that's exactly what happens. This is why I created those meditations. This is why I use the Muse headset. Because for me, I invest a little bit of time, and I get back massive amounts of presence, awareness, consciousness. And let's be honest. All of those create ridiculous momentum. Are you ready for some meditation momentum? Join me live as we dive into meditation momentum. Be sure you go to charfen.com/meditate Once you click on that link you will be greeted by Momentum Bot which will not only deliver you the three meditations I recorded for you today but also share information on the muse headset. Try them out. I would love to know what you think. Breathe in and out through your nose. And you're gonna feel this incredible time investment, where you take a small fraction of time, like three minutes, and you can go out and create momentum for hours. Meditation isn't about clearing your mind, having a spiritual or religious experience. There is a better way to look at this that will create massive momentum for you and for everyone around you.

Small Business Update: The Latest Stimulus Details and Changes to PPP Loans I don’t know about you but accounting has been one of the most frustrating things for me in 20 years of running businesses. That's why it has been so incredible to work with Pam. She has given me a sense of calm. Pam IS an entrepreneur. She understands me; she anticipates what I'm going to need next, and I don't know that I've ever been as confident in my books as I am right now. The dynamic, informative, and deeply experienced opposite of the stereotypical green-eyeshade accountant. Pam is the author of "Your First CFO: The Accounting Cure for Small Business Owners"; with a reputation as the Entrepreneur's Go-to CFO. Today she is joining us to talk about all of the updates taking place with the current PPE loans. The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) will re-open the week of January 11 for new borrowers and certain existing PPP borrowers. To promote access to capital, initially, only community financial institutions will be able to make First Draw PPP Loans on Monday, January 11, and Second Draw PPP Loans on Wednesday, January 13. The PPP will open to all participating lenders shortly thereafter. You will want to tune if you are wanting to learn more about the most recent stimulus package and how it can impact small business owners. - The new money that is available to small businesses through the government - What you need to do to qualify for it - What is happening with regards to the forgiveness on the original loans We dive deeper into the conversation as a group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CharfenCommunity Learn more about Pam here: https://www.facebook.com/psprior

Are you feeling anxious? Or are you one of the calmest entrepreneurs in the room? I always remind our members and my team that the calmest entrepreneur in the room is the one that people will turn to. There is one thing I have experienced in working with entrepreneurs. When there is a crisis, or a last-minute “fire” shows up, entrepreneurs have this bias towards rapid, overwhelming reaction? We are the first to drop everything and drive home a solution. We often say things like... “How fast can I do something?” “What do I need to do?” Is this you or someone you know? I know I can relate, and if you can connect, I want you to know that you are not alone. Have you been showing up reactive lately? Do you ever feel accelerated? Do you feel a bit anxious at times? Do you feel like you need to unwind? It’s essential for us and others that we remain aware of how we show up. If you are showing up this way it will be ok. I invite you to check out our triple 7 breathing protocol to shift this feeling. 🔖SAVE this post and use our video as your resource and guide to unwind, and hit play when you need to reset. Try it now. Hit pause in your day and breath with me. In 1.2.3.4.5.6.7 Out 1.2.3.4.5.6.7 We installed this triple seven breathing protocol to shift the acceleration so we can remain in momentum. We do this at the beginning of every targeted interaction. [Targeted interactions are what we refer to as meetings in the Charfen world.] It is straightforward. Follow this practice as guidance. 🌬You will want to blow out as much air in the beginning as you can •Next, You will breathe in 7 seconds through your nose •And then, You will breathe out 7 times through your nose ••You will complete this breathing exercise seven times. That is the ideal breathing time and method to balance oxygen and Co2 and create presence and awareness. Remember, in a crisis, the calmest entrepreneurs are the one people turn to. Do not be afraid to hit pause and carry out the triple seven breathing protocol. Resources Mentioned: https://charfen.com/665 https://www.facebook.com/100003762796202/videos/2144227805712625/ 

We can all agree that the world is noisy right now. In a good market, it can be difficult to make good decisions as an entrepreneur. In a market with this much uncertainty, turmoil, and noise, it can be exponentially more difficult to make decisions that will move our business forward. If you are feeling this as an entrepreneur, I want you to know you are not alone. We are all feeling it. The coronavirus and the economic crisis that it is causing has made decision making more difficult for every entrepreneur that we work with. Now more than ever, we need a way to consistently make the best decisions for our business. The right framework can help us figure out what to do next and move forward with confidence. That is why I am sharing our most important, and ironically most copied, content, The 5 Core Functions. Since you're reading this report, I feel like I can make an assumption about you... When you are clear on where you're going and excited about the outcome, you put the accelerator pedal down to the floor and don't let it up. Am I right? I know. I live for that feeling of momentum, moving things forward, and making things happen. It’s everything. For entrepreneurs, the feeling of momentum is about as necessary as oxygen is for the rest of the population. Today we are going to learn all about The Five Core Functions. After today you will know: What you should be doing right now to grow and scale your business What projects to actually execute at the right time Lead your team with confidence Tune in as I introduce you to... The Five Core Functions: - Lead Generation - Nurture - Conversion - Delivery - Retention, Resell, Upsell Making decisions using the 5 Core Functions is something that you should defend and protect.

One of the most powerful tools our company teaches entrepreneurs is how to own their avatar. We talk about it all the time. When you own your avatar, you become the de facto leader of the movement you are creating with your business. In fact, one of the key steps in ascending the Billionaire Code very early on in your business is to get clear on who you are serving. Understanding your avatar, and owning it, can be one of the biggest shortcuts to growing and scaling your business. In this episode, Tristan Swanwick, CEO of Swanwick Glasses, presents the most influential thing that has helped him grow his business, make a bigger impact, and unify his team around the mission of his company. At a recent Charfen Summit, Tristan shares his experience in getting clear on his avatar using the systems and tools we teach businesses around the world.

Does this situation sound familiar? Your team gets nervous every time you go to an event because they know that the things they have worked on for the last several months will no longer matter when you come back. This issue plagues entrepreneurs around the world. I call it "Shiny Object Syndrome." So many entrepreneurs have an addiction to new. Here's the reality. Your addiction to new is keeping you from mastery. When you have the tools, systems, frameworks, and structures in your business to get repeatable and predictable results, you will see that "new" is damaging your team and keeping you from growing a world-changing empire. In this episode, we are joined by Justin Dyson, former CEO of Kids and Such. Justin struggled with an addiction to "new" and it kept him from being able to build the business he wanted. In fact, it kept him in a state of fight-or-flight that was hurting his relationship with his family and his team. By committing himself to install the Charfen Cadence in his business, Justin broke his addiction to "new", and built a business that gave him the freedom he always wanted as an entrepreneur.

When you are overwhelmed by the challenges of a growing business in an uncertain market, what is the right step to take? One of the most neglected areas of potential momentum for entrepreneurs is in how they take care of themselves. Here's the reality, self-care is the biggest shortcut to success that you will find. In this episode, we are joined by Travis Barker, CEO of EZ IT Solutions. Travis came into our program in desperate need of direction. In fact, Travis was convinced that he didn't feel emotions like a normal person. After spending time in our system, Travis has radically transformed his life, his relationships, and his business by understanding the right step and committing himself fully to self-care.

When you are just starting to grow a business, the challenges you face can feel overwhelming. The reality is that, as you grow a business into the tens of millions of dollars, the issues you face are exponentially more difficult. We have a concept we share in our organization. In order to navigate the challenges facing your business, you must learn to lead your business from the passenger seat. What it means is that, as you grow, you must develop leaders to operate your business because you won't be able to do everything anymore. As a CEO, you're not growing a business. You’re growing leaders to grow leaders in your business. In this episode, we are joined by Brent Pohlman, CEO of Midwest Soil Labs. Brent runs a massive company with over two hundred employees and an incredible amount of revenue. Throughout the crisis that has gripped the world this year, Brent has led his company to break their all-time top revenue in the company's history without a single furloughed employee. His company gave back $2.8 M in PPP money in June and purchased a new 176,000 square foot building on 27 acres. Brent is an incredible entrepreneur, and his commitment to learning how to lead his company has allowed him to build an incredible organization that is changing the world.

Nearly every issue in any relationship can be traced back to communication issues. Regardless of if it is a relationship with your family, spouse, or team, the core of every successful relationship is communication. Communication within a business can be challenged by any number of things, and the reality is that it is often difficult to determine how to move forward and overcome these challenges. In our business, we help entrepreneurs develop a system of communication that allows your business to thrive. Some have even shared with us that it saved their relationships with family members and significant others. In this episode, we are joined by Andrea Rojas, CEO of Vive tu mensaje. Andrea gave this presentation to our members at the Charfen Summit. In this presentation, Andrea shared how communication has saved not only her business but also her relationships.

The current crisis facing the world has dramatically shifted the needs of entrepreneurial business. In many ways, it has shifted the expectations of success, and particularly what it takes to be successful in business. Matan Gavish was told that he had two weeks before he would be out of business. Two weeks. What would you do if someone told you that you had two weeks to get your business profitable again? What if they told you that it was no longer legal to operate your business? Matan shared his mindset in the midst of this crisis during our recent Charfen Summit. The perspective he shared was powerful and it shows the perseverance power of entrepreneurs when their backs are against the wall. Matan will show you how he put his trust in the process and leaned into the skills he has learned in our coaching programs. Resources Mentioned: https://billionairecode.com https://charfen.com/5core

Understanding your avatar, your ideal client, is the key step to ascending the Billionaire Code and growing your business. When you have a clear picture of who you are going to serve, you can respond to their needs and create products to get them the results you want. At a recent event for our coaching members called The Charfen Summit, we had the opportunity to hear from Dre Baldwin, the CEO of Work on Your Game. Dre has gone through the process of getting hyper clear on his avatar, and it has been an absolute game-changer for his business. Dre implemented a strategy of conducting avatar interviews, and in that process, he realized that he wanted to serve a completely different set of people than he thought. If you apply the same strategies that Dre did, you will see your business grow faster than you ever thought possible.

Entrepreneurs are the small percentage of the population that wakes up every day, goes into the future, creates a new reality, then comes back to the present, and demands that it becomes real. That process requires a high level of decisions to be made on a daily basis. This responsibility is enormous, and it can lead to entrepreneurs reacting to situations instead of proactively overcoming them with a plan. Our programs teach a five-step process for decision making, called The Charfen Process. We have been discussing this process in-depth throughout the previous two podcasts, and in this episode, Alex talks about the three most important factors that contribute to your ability to do this consistently. Ultimately, this process is what creates success for entrepreneurs and will allow you to grow your business consistently and predictably. Resources Mentioned: https://billionairecode.com

Committing to a plan is the third step of the Charfen Process. The question is, how do you commit? Especially if you are so deep in the day-to-day operations of your business, it can feel overwhelming to hear that you need to commit to something that is unknown to you. The reality is that there are four stages that all of us go through in learning, and they are directly related to our ability to commit to a plan and start moving forward fast. In this episode, Alex teaches this concept of learning to the members of our highest level mastermind, Accelerator. Understanding the stages of learning and how they directly impact your ability to commit to a plan is going to be a powerful takeaway for you and your team.
