Our guest today, Brian Dean, is the founder of Backlinko.com and the co-founder of Exploding Topics. He's been featured on hundreds of major media outlets, including Forbes Inc, Entrepreneur and Fast Company.
When I ran across his blog a few months ago, I was completely blown away. In my opinion Brian has mastered what it means to “give value” in his marketing. I started reading everything he was writing and have been studying his work very closely.
Our guest today has been on the show before, but I had to have her back because there was so much we needed to talk about!

What? Schedule a live retreat in the middle of a pandemic?
Yep. Great deals are to be had right now.
Platforms like Pinterest and Google report that they have NEVER seen so many searches for travel-related content like they have seen during this pandemic.
People are desperate to plan a trip, even if it’s well in the future.
But what if you schedule something and the pandemic is still here?
I’ve got your answers in the episode.
This podcast was recorded while I was on the road taking my son to college.
The only reason I can travel and enjoy time with my family while I’m in the midst of my biggest launch to date is because of my amazing team.
That’s what the perfect virtual assistant can do for you, too. When you have the right person, they will be able to handle a variety of tasks that need to get done, AND they’ll also do so much more.
In this episode, I decided to take a rapid fire “ask me anything” approach to answering all of the questions we’ve been receiving on our current workshop that is all about hiring and training your “perfect match” virtual assistant.
Systems are everything when it comes to business growth and business growth.
I’d even go as far as to say that systems are the key to happiness!
That’s true for me, anyway. I love being able to plug into a good, solid system and take out all of the friction. Friction is bad.
In today’s episode I break down the way to create systems for your business.
We all have habits, things we do in the same way so much that it’s automatic. We don’t have to think about it; we just do it.
Business habits are the same way.
It’s really a way to put structure around good habits that are going to help things run smoothly. When these things are getting done regularly with your systems, then you can put your time an energy into the things that only you can do.

Today’s podcast is incredible! I promise you’re going to find this helpful. Guest Greg McKeown the author of Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. I have read this book 3 times and when I surveyed my business peers asking which book they found most helpful, Greg’s book was mentioned more than any other. In case you haven’t read the book, I want to explain what essentialism is in the context of our conversation and all of Greg’s work. Essentialism defined: The disciplined pursuit of less, but better. It’s the pursuit of what is essential, the elimination of what is not.
