About ten years ago, I heard the parable of “The Mexican Fisherman” for the first time. Back then, I totally bought into the message of the story. The message, as I interpreted it, was that we should avoid building a big business as a means of building wealth. Instead, we should be satisfied doing the work that allows us to meet our needs and enjoy the simple/important things in life. Lately, I've been thinking about how this parable presents a false dichotomy. In this episode, I share why I fee...

I was recently interviewed on the Grace On Fire podcast hosted by Dr. Jonathan G Smith. In the interview, I shared four limiting beliefs that will keep you from living the life for which you were created. I had intended to cover this as a topic on my show at some point in the future. However, what I was sharing came out so great in this interview that I asked Jonathan if I could simply use my recording of the interview as an episode of my own podcast. He was happy to give me permission to do so....

Every time I interact with someone who is building their own online business, I ask them… “What is the single greatest frustration that you are facing, right now, when it comes to growing your online business?” One of the most common responses is FOCUS or LACK OF FOCUS. One person responded this question by saying… “I Have So Many Income Stream Opportunities, But I Can’t Seem To Stay Focused On One!” I totally understand this problem. In this week's episode, I share how I've recently faced this ...

Did you know that half of all businesses are closed within their first year, 80% are gone within five years and that 96% of all businesses fail within 10 years? That means that only 4% of a businesses last more than 10 years. That just means that they are “still standing,” even if they are not “profitable.” I know just how difficult it is to get an online business off the ground. In 2008, I left a successful 12-year career as an insurance agent to pursue my own journey of full-time, self-employm...

Growing up, I had always been taught that New Years Resolutions simply don't work. The idea is that in the new year, a person will resolve to get rid of an undesired habit, to accomplish a personal goal or to commit to something that will improve their life in some way. As a young guy, I had attempted to set lifestyle goals for myself. However, somewhere around middle school, I became convinced that everyone was right… these things just don't work. Unfortunately, as a result, I had pretty much g...

In this episode, I share 15 choices that I attempt to make, every day, that allow me to kick self-doubt to the curb and move forward with confidence. Choice #1 – I refuse to compare myself to others. Choice #2 – I will stop worrying about what others think or say about me. – Affirmation: I refuse to concern myself with how others may judge me and my actions. I have been given divine access to the mind of Christ and Jesus has given me His Spirit to evaluate my own life and actions. (1 Corinthians...

You've probably known several people, over the years, that where involved in an unhealthy relationship with someone and was simply unable to see all the warning signs that things needed to change. Over the years, I've done a lot of one-on-one and group mentoring with people who are full-time self-employed, or who are pursuing self-employment, that are very much involved in an unhealthy relationship that is holding them back from achieving financial success in their business. I'm not referring to...

This week's episode is very different from the content that I normally share in this podcast. The main difference is that this week's episode is very “faith focused.” I am in Anaheim, California for Podcast Movement 2017. My great friend, Phil Mershon had been wanting to have me as a guest on his podcast and I inviting him to come up to my room and we could knock out the interview while were both here at the event. Knowing that I needed to create an episode of my own this week, I asked Phil if h...

Recently, my friend, Tammy Adams, provided a question for me to use as a topic for one of my YouTube VLOG episodes. However, when I started to think about how I would answer her question, I knew that the length of time that I wanted to spend answering this question, would make this better suited for a podcast episode. Tammy's question was… “What do you think is the #1 reason people struggle to get their small businesses jump started and earning a decent income?” I share what I feel may be the to...

I recently published a video where I gave a tour of my Next Level Studio . This prompted one individual to write a comment on the video (which this person has since deleted). That comment said…. Cliff, you have a LOT of stuff. Do you really need all of that? I mean as a self proclaimed Christian, (I’m anti religion btw) couldn’t you help more people by doing more with less and donating all the money you put into that stuff? … It’s none of my business how you spend your money but I feel like some...

In this episode, I share some thoughts about the mindset of what people are paying for when they hire you for an hour of one-on-one coaching and/or consulting. When people pay you (whatever amount), they are not paying for an hour of your time, they are paying for access to the years of experience, knowledge and wisdom that you bring to the table. I hope that this episode will inspire you to create a document where you can begin to take an inventory of all the value that you bring to the table. ...

The concept of “pricing” was one of the greatest sources of anxiety for me in the early days of building my own online business. Over the past decade, I've seen that “deciding how much to charge” is a huge pain point for others who are creating products and services. Almost everyone undervalues what they do and have to offer and, as a result, charge way too little. In this episode, I share what I have learned from my own experience with pricing over the years. I explain why people actually want ...
