It feels like a different lifetime but starting a dozen years ago, Melissa and I began a journey of paying off 130K in non-mortgage debt.  I learned countless lessons from my greatest teacher, failure.  Lots of people ask me how I got into so much debt and how I got out of it.  In today’s show, we dive into the mindset needed to pay down debt, the most common methods for doing so, and the best strategy for you.  If you’re not in debt, you’ll still want to tune in because you can teach others as well as ensure you stay out of it.  Additionally, there are valuable principles that can also be applied to other areas.  Enjoy the show and as always, thanks for tuning in!

I just got back from a 4-day learning event called Fincon.    It was part of my personal growth plan.  Are you familiar with and/or do you have a growth plan? There are lots of components to one but first, let’s talk about what it can do for you.  John Maxwell says that you will only go as far as you’ll grow.  I have found that to be true in all areas. Check out this “on the money” quote from Robin Sharma: “The swiftest way to triple your success is to double your investment in personal development.” If that’s true (It is), we’d be wise to have a plan.  Today is a good day for you because I recorded a show about 4 key components of a growth plan.  Thanks in advance for listening and I’d love to hear what your biggest takeaway was!  Listen and grow!

Do leaders think differently? What if I told you that effectiveness could be predicted 92% of the time based on a brain scan? Dopamine is the chemical of excitement. It makes you memorable.  Here’s the good news. Having charisma, or “compelling attractiveness” can be learned. It’s not something you’re stuck with or not.  This may shock you but really effective leaders understand emotions.  Unfortunately, with to-do lists that seem to never end, we get trapped in logistics and fail to connect with the people who matter most.  Today’s show is all about how to connect.  You’ll learn about 3 levels of questions and why they are so important.  I’ll leave you with 2 action steps you can take immediately to improve.  By the way, be sure to connect with me on Instagram!

Changing your mindset is arguably one of the most important factors is goal achievement.  I recently attended one of the top leadership conferences in the world and “mindset” was a common theme.  There is a reason why the best leaders in the world are talking about and honing their mindset skills. They know the difference it makes in leading themselves and others.  Oftentimes, when we’re trying to improve we look at the external things. If we want to become fit, we look for a fitness and nutrition plan. If we want to become more responsible financially we might look for a budgeting app. Those things are amazing but there is another side to it.  What’s going on inside (i.e. mindset) is crucial. If you are telling yourself you’re not good with money or you’ll never be able to stick with anything, no app pr program will help you. Again, those things can definitely aid in your ultimate goal but you’ll also need to change your mindset.  Listen to this week’s show to learn the exact steps you need to take to shift your mindset from one that causes anxiety to one that brings feelings of confidence.  It’s as simple as 1,2,3!

Not sure if you remember but a few months ago I put out a special offer for a lucky person to have a “free” coaching session. The only catch was for them to let me record it so you could be a “fly on the wall.” Well, longtime listener Johnny wrote it that he would be brave enough to lay it all out for us.  Johnny’s main problem is what most people can relate to, especially now.  Even after working hard and building a great career with a strong income, things still feel a little “tight.” With a young family and mounting pressure, Johnny was in need of clarity. Here is a chance to hear someone else’s struggles (there all relative) and how I coached them through it.  We got a lot done including: Laid out the problem Discussed its impact and why it was important to solve Brainstormed some solutions Delved a bit into mindset Discussed the commitment it would take I hope you enjoy this special show and props to Johnny for putting it out there. When we shine light on the darkness, it begins to fade and that’s exactly what happened here.  At the end of the day, mastering finances is similar to cranking out a solid bowling score!

Last week we kicked off a 2 part podcast on the power of FOCUS.  Part one was all about internal distractions that we’ll need to master if we want to reach our potential.  Today’s show is all about external distractions.  It’s easy to only focus on the external but I urge you not to neglect what’s going on inside of you that is keeping you distracted.  With that said, once you work on the internal, there are some actional strategies you can implement to fight back against external distractions like people, email, and your phone! This episode will show you precisely how to do that! By the way, be sure to connect with me on Instagram! Listen and grow! Your Financial Coach, Billy  Here are some important links.

If there were one skill for you to master in order for you to live your best life, it might be the ability to stay focused.  Distractions are all around us and if we’re not intentional, they can prevent us from gaining the traction we need.  There are internal things (e.g. mindset) that distract us as well as external (e.g. the phone dinging).  The internal things are the bigger problem to solve.  Once you can master the inner triggers we all face, you’ll have the ability to reach levels of success, satisfaction, and growth you never imagined.  Today’s episode is all about what’s going on inside of us and how to overcome the resistance. Actionable steps for each point are provided so be sure to tune in AND do the steps.

Today we re-visit the Good Book for some powerful and timeless money lessons.  Jeff Bezos might be the richest person in the world right now but his wealth is a drop in the bucket compared to what King Solomon’s would be.  Proverbs is considered the book of wisdom and you don’t need to look any further to develop a money mindset.  Listen up and take notes on this one as I share 5 life-changing money lessons from King Solomon.  We can’t predict what’s going to happen with the economy but we can rest assured that following these 5 lessons will lead us to our desired future.  Enjoy the show and as always, thanks for tuning in!

I always enjoy it when people I follow share their mistakes.   It helps me to realize/remember that they too are human.   The truth is nobody has it all together and we all make mistakes, sometimes really painful ones.   While mistakes can be a valuable teacher, it’s even better to learn from the mistakes of others.   Many people just went through a crisis with their business and finances, and it seems like the economic rollercoaster may continue.   The only thing worse than going through difficult times is not learning from them. For that reason, I created a blog containing 50 of the most important lessons I’ve learned.   In this podcast, I do a deep dive on 3 of them.    I chose these 3 because I thought they would either be the most important ones for you to learn or because they were the most insidious.    Listen carefully, chew on them, and make a plan to avoid them on your journey!    

Can you relate to either of these problems? First, you have decent money coming in but because of the way it flows in, it’s difficult to allocate it to the right areas. To top it off, expenses can be all over the place. One month you may need some new equipment and the next, payroll goes up. How do you make sure everything is covered? Many people know what they should do but have trouble doing it. Deep down they know a purchase isn’t wise and may be sabotaging themselves to a certain extent but they do it anyway. Have you done that? I know I have.  Finally, how about simply “needing” something but not having the money for it? Since you don’t have the money for something, you “borrow” from somewhere else, perhaps even your future.  If you can relate to any of these things, today is your lucky day! I recorded a podcast episode all about how to use the power of sinking funds to help eliminate money worry! Enjoy the show and as always, thanks for tuning in!

If I’m completely honest, there were a couple of podcast episodes where I sort of “mailed it in.” Don’t get me wrong, the content was solid. It’s just that I was a bit rushed and was more focused on “getting it shipped” than I was on the quality.  It’s a common trap fitness pros fall into. We are juggling so many balls that sometimes the important stuff begins to slip.  When my wife told me she noticed it, it was a real wake-up call.  Check out today’s episode to see how I responded and why it’s one of the best things that could have happened!

My interview with Tony Gentilcore is one of the most well-rounded ones I’ve had on the show. We covered so many important topics I wasn’t sure what to call it.  Here are just some of the things we discussed.  Tony has managed to create a great following and he did it the right way.  He’s humble to say that he had good “luck” but we know that luck is when preparation meets opportunity.  I like the way he simplifies the process of creating content and connect with his audience (hint: he drops 90s hip hop references).  The content creation section of the interview was worth the listen alone but we also dove into some other useful topics.  We talked about how Tony is a co-founder of Cressey Performance and how he used his time there to not only get lots of experience but build his own brand. This is an important topic both from the standpoint of being a coach AND being a business owner as it’s difficult to manage the balance of supporting coaches to reach their potential while protecting your business.  Of course we talked about the money side of things too, everything from having a system to ensure cash flow as well as the importance of multiple revenue streams.

Today’s episode is called Staying on Purpose. While I’ve recorded other episodes about creating a vision, today is more about staying on purpose. Losing hope is something I don’t want you to experience. We can all get discouraged and life can beat us up but it’s crucial that we don’t lose hope and give up. There are some keys to persevering and staying on purpose and in this short episode, I share some specific strategies you can use to stay on purpose. I even share a story about how even I almost went completely off track!

Micah Logan is only the second guest I’ve invited on the show twice so hopefully, you can see I value what he has to say and felt another conversation would be useful. Micah was on episode 76 and was titled Lessons in Economics.   This time Micah is back and we discussed 3 important topics.  First, it was all about lessons from Covid. These are valuable takeaways that if we can learn from can help us strive for years to come. Let’s not waste a difficult experience.  The other topics were all about mistakes, not necessarily related to Covid but to entrepreneurship and marketing in general. If you can get these things right, you will avoid some pain and find much more joy in your business and life.  Find out how to make sure the important components of your biz are on point now!

Today’s podcast contains lessons straight out of the Good Book.  The Parable of The Talents is one of my favorite stories in the bible and contains timeless lessons for us about money, work, and our abilities.  I did a whole presentation on the topic but recorded some key takeaways for you.  A lot of people talk about reaching more of their potential but neglect to understand what the process to get there actually looks like.  This parable also addresses the beliefs that many people have regarding what they have. Many people think that they don’t have enough and constantly compare themselves to others.  This principle and others like it have served me well and I hope they do the same for you!

In today’s show, I share an actual story that happened recently in my business. Most trainers are uncomfortable with sales calls but this one was beyond awkward. All this person wanted was to know how much it was and didn’t care about anything else. Realizing she wasn’t a good fit for us, check out how I handled it. I’ve been in the fitness business over 20 years and this was one of the most unique conversations with a prospect that I’ve had.
