Anyone who knows me knows that my work has been heavily influenced by Todd Herman.

I first found him through his program, 90 Day Year, which completely transformed my business, (and my life!)

Later I was coached by him in his Basecamp program. 

So having him on the show was kind of a big deal for me. In fact, I surprised myself by getting emotional halfway through. But I guess that’s how it is when you get overwhelmed with all the feels, talking to your mentor.

I think you are going to love this conversation.

We talk a lot about how many of us think we should be ditching the one-to-one coaching model in exchange for the “passive income” models. Todd shares some pretty powerful thoughts about this.

I met Mandyy Thomas in my program Front Row CEO program and I was completely blown away by her systems-based mind. She is a successful financial coach and the host of the “Intentionally Wealthy” podcast. 

When I first started my business and was learning about Facebook ads, I was obsessed with Jon Loomer’s content. He is arguably the most knowledgeable Facebook ads person out there, but more importantly, he’s a great teacher. 

He started his business in advanced Facebook advertising beginning in 2012. He experienced some bumps in the road over the past few years but listen to how he addresses these challenges…I think you’ll be inspired.

Jon shares some really powerful things with us:

• How he started his business

• His journey into TikTok

• What’s new in Facebook ads

• What his content creation process looks like behind the scenes

• The importance of being scrappy and the value of seeking out mentors and advisers

• The importance of staying focused and being transparent with clients and customers

• The challenges of managing growth and scaling operations, and the role of innovation in a constantly changing market.

Today, we’re talking about building a secret society.

I know…you’re probably thinking “that's a weird topic”...

… but when Michael F. Schein ( Head Hype Man at MicroFame Media, and author of the “Hype Handbook”) emailed me and shared that he had been exploring secret societies as a way of building relationships and scaling business, I knew I wanted to hear more. I mean, if you put “secret” in front of something, doesn't it kind of force you to want to know more???

So I took the bait and I'm so glad I did. Mike shares some really compelling things with us:

✔️ How he conducted an experiment of creating a secret society, and his surprising results

✔️What the difference is between building a secret society and networking

✔️ How to select the people for your own secret society

✔️ Why you might want to consider starting a secret society of your own.

So often people tell me that they would love to hire a virtual assistant, but they are afraid they won't have enough work for them to do.

They dread the thought of having to stay on top of creating new work for the VA.

This episode shows you how recurring tasks lists erases this problem!

In this episode, I talk about the mindset we all need to adopt in order to succeed with a virtual team.

So often I hear from people who have hired virtual assistants in the past and have been unsuccessful…they are really frustrated. And honestly, I think that 90% of the time it's because of a failure to communicate expectations.

The good news is that there are very simple and effective ways to set clear (and reasonable) expectations!

In this short episode, I walk you through those steps, and share some of my best tips for communicating your expectation so that you can work in lock step with your “perfect match” virtual assistant.

Last week we talked about how you could go on vacation for a month if you have a VA, and what you can actually expect of them to not only keep your business running, but how to make sure it thrives.

Today, I want to talk to you about the thriving part, because a lot of people don't realize that beyond the built-in ROI or return on investment of having a VA, there's an actual direct ROI if you set things up correctly with your virtual assistant.

I also share:

💰 the “built-in” ROI of a virtual assistant

💰 what perpetual revenue drivers are and how they directly affect the bottom line in your business

💰 how to leverage your team to add value to all of your existing offers

💰 how my VA increased the value of my signature program, Front Row CEO, exponentially

Can you leave for vacation knowing that your business is fine without you?

Well, yes!

I just finished a one-month European tour and it was amazing - it was a true vacation! Meaning, I left my laptop at home.

I was able to do this because my team kept the business running without me.

If you are ready to ditch the laptop and hit the highway, but are unsure what you should expect from your virtual assistant or from your team, this episode is for you!

I also share:

• Why I don’t recommend the "laptop lifestyle".

• Why you don’t have to worry about traveling for a month or so

• How your VA should protect your time while you’re on vacation

• Why your VA should handle your inbox

• The magnificent "catch-up" list
