Living Intentionally and Finding Significance with Aaron Walker

ABOUT AARON WALKER

So, what does success look like for you?

Will you know when you’ve reached it? What will you do afterwards?

Aaron Walker has attained tremendous success by all measures. He has built and sold some of the most successful businesses in the Nashville area. But he was looking for something more and when friends Dave Ramsey and Dan Miller coaxed him into speaking and coaching, he knew he’d found it. He’d found significance.

Aaron shares his story and shows us that money isn’t everything, happiness is a choice we make, and attaining success is NOT the end of the journey, but a new beginning!

Money magnifies what’s in the heart.  It doesn’t change it.

Expect Success with Jesse Tevelow

ABOUT JESSE TEVELOW

Failure happens.

The common wisdom these days seems to be just to build it into the plan from the start. Make 50 sales calls, expecting 49 No’s to get to that 1 Yes.

Right?

Well, how different might things be if we just expected success instead?

Jesse Tevelow is the author of The Connection Algorithm: Take Risks, Defy the Status Quo, and Live Your Passions. He makes the case that expecting success from the get go, being prepared for failure (but not planning FOR it), can actually push us further, make us work harder, and attain way more than we’d ever imagined!

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • How paying attention to trends and “getting in early” can make all the difference in your career or entrepreneurial journey.
  • Why expecting failure and planning for it actually ISN’T the best approach when starting something new.
  • The importance of surrounding yourself with others who are passionate “doers”
  • How the odds can end up tipping in your favor with the more risks you take – why it’s crucial to “keep making moves”
  • Why in the long run, “failures” aren’t really “failures” at all!

Ready for a new career, but not sure what you want to do next?  Enroll in our free 8-day ‘Figure it Out’ course!

Stepping into the Right Roles with Michael Port

ABOUT MICHAEL PORT

Michael Port is the best-selling author of Book Yourself SolidBeyond Book Yourself Solid, Book Yourself Solid IllustratedThe Contrarian Effect, and The Think Big Manifesto and has been called an “uncommonly honest author” by the Boston Globe.  His latest book, Steal the Show: From Speeches to Job Interviews to Deal-Closing Pitches, How to Guarantee a Standing Ovation for All the Performances in Your Life, is all about learning to play the right role for every situation, motivating, informing, and persuading others, just by being yourself!

If “All the world is a stage”, why not write your own part?

Interviews, public speaking, sales pitches – these can all be super-intimidating.

Most people don’t really look forward to them. That’s a given.

But, what if you had a proven strategy for summoning the confidence you know you need to get the results you want?

Michael has taken his experience as a former stage actor, the experience that has allowed him to walk into the roles he most wanted in his life, and has built a system for others to follow so that they can do the same.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • How you can “steal the show” if you approach life as a stage and learn to play the right “role” for every situation
  • Why the technique of acting “as if” is a really effective way to summon our confidence when we need it most!
  • You’ll learn the best way to approach defining your personal brand – PS. You DON’T have to get it right on the first try!
  • Why making decisions irreversible, at least for a period of time, can actually lead us to greater satisfaction (and success) with our choices!
  • A few quick n’ dirty public speaking tips straight from Michael’s new book, Steal the Show!

Invent Your Path to Fulfillment with Steve Kurti

ABOUT STEVE KURTI

We are born with the desire to learn more and somehow if it disappears, it’s because something in our life has beat it down.

Steve Kurti

Steve Kurti is a physicist, inventor (or “tinkerer” as he refers to himself), and educator who believes that we need to instill a hunger for learning in our kids and find ways to reconnect with it as adults.  He and his wife have created Table Top Inventing to inspire kids to “be explorers, tinkerers, innovators, and deep thinkers” through summer camps, meet-up groups, classroom activities, and more!

As kids we’re born with a natural curiosity, fearlessness, and a desire to absorb as much information as we can. But for many of us, a lot of that spirit of wonder gets lost somewhere along the way into adulthood.  If we can reconnect with our former selves and rediscover a passion for learning, we might just uncover the path to our greatest fulfillment.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

In our desire to conform we start to allow ourselves to believe that we need to be the same and the questioning, ‘Why is that?’ starts to shrivel up a little bit and starts to wilt. That’s the beginning and that’s the end of our curiosity.

  • Why learning to learn is worth more than all the knowledge in the world.
  • How reconnecting with our former selves and channeling our lost fearlessness and wonder can lead us to greater satisfaction in life and in our careers.
  • Why the best thing teachers can do is to ask questions and then let their students find their own solutions.

Going Outside the Wire with Tom Morkes

ABOUT TOM MORKES

Growth happens outside of our comfort zone.

No one knows that better than Tom Morkes, who at one time felt that hitting the “publish” button on a blog post he’d just written was a scarier prospect than heading out on night duty while he was stationed in Iraq with the U.S. Army! The CEO of Insurgent Publishing, a book publishing and marketing company known for bringing “unconventional nonfiction to the creative outliers of the world”, he’s helped launch 4 (and counting!) books to bestseller, working with folks like Jeff Goins, Jonathan Mead, and David Nihill. He’s authored numerous books himself, including Notes from Seth Godin’s Revolution Conference and The Art of Instigating and is the host of the In the Trenches podcast. Get outside your comfort zone and watch what happens!

Think of your book like a business, like a startup.

Tom Morkes

We really wanted to make sure we talked to Tom about self-publishing and running a location-independent business.  Approaching publishing from a lean startup perspective, he had some solid advice for authors just getting started in their publishing journeys.

You’ll want to get clear on your goals for the book and you’ll want to make sure you can answer some key questions:

What is the problem this book is solving?  What is the solution this book is going to bring?

With so many other books out there, why should anyone care about this one?

What is the unique sales proposition for this book?

How do I reach my early adopters?  How do I reach my target market?

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • How the fear will always be there, but you can train yourself to deal with it and not let it stop you!
  • The power of time, repetition, and validation in overcoming fear.
  • What it’s REALLY like to live the “digital nomad” lifestyle!
  • The critical points to consider and mindset to develop if you are planning to publish.
