Imagine talking with a guy who could distill the wisdom of the greatest thinkers of our time into a few simple sentences. Picture him giving you a brilliant set of principles for success that could change the way you approach your business and your life. That’s what went down in today’s podversation.

One of my favorite guests, Alex Mandossian, is back for an amazing glimpse into what separates the world’s true thought leaders from everyone else.

After doing more than 2,500 interviews with the best and the brightest, he’s seen a striking pattern.

Most people let life happen and wind up with what Alex calls a “default future.” But true thought leaders look at life differently and create personal rules that guide them to achieving what others may deem impossible.

Today Alex is opening up their rulebooks for us.

You’re going to want to learn some of their plays!

At this very moment, a few people are living the life of their dreams. Meanwhile, most folks are walking around with lifelong dreams that aren’t coming true. Which group you end up in really depends on just one thing.

To live your dreams, you need to understand the difference between a dream and a goal.

If you don’t, you’re dreams will stay in dreamland, and your goals will feel more like tasks than exciting milestones.

So how do you know the difference?

In today’s episode, I’ll give you a simple formula.

Once you have it, you’ll see the dynamic relationship between dreams and goals…and how when they’re aligned, you’re on your way to all the success and happiness you’ve been dreaming about.

What’s the first step to to a million dollar business? Sometimes it’s failing an important test…

Stop by Pat Flynn’s Smart Passive Income blog and you’ll see a banner announcing his earnings last month—more than $120K.

How’d he get there?

Would you believe it all started with him losing his job as an architect.

In today’s podversation, Pat lays out how failing the architect certification exam eventually lead to his decision to help others avoid the same fate… and this eventually led him to inadvertently build an online empire.

If you want to achieve incredible and sustainable business success, you’ll love how simply Pat explains what works (and what doesn’t) in creating online revenue.

And if you ever worry you aren’t enough of an expert in your field or that your niche is too small, you’re about to feel a whole lot better!

As a business owner, do you constantly have too much to do? Does your work leave you enough time for a personal life? If that last question makes you want to laugh (or cry), then here’s a new way to schedule your days that just might bring you tears of joy.

I used to live in never ending overwhelm about all I had to do to keep my business on track.

Then I learned a concept that revolutionized my whole approach to scheduling and made me way happier and more productive.

I realized that running a business requires spending time in two distinctly different ways… meeting with people, and working creatively on the business itself.

When you know the secret to balancing these two very different demands on your time, you hold the key to getting it all done with more ease and flow.

Warning: This episode may lead to extra “me” time.

Once in a while, NOT keeping your word is actually critical to your success. Here’s a confession…

I have a lot of commitments—to you, to my company, and to myself. And one of my commitments is to be as real and authentic as I can.

Too bad that means fessing up when I don’t do something I’ve promised.

This episode is a mea culpa.

Recently, I broke my word, and I felt like a failure. But now I’m glad I did, and I want to tell you why…and how all this relates to you thriving as an entrepreneur.

You know those Nigerian scam emails saying you’re entitled to a huge sum of money? What if I told you they could lead you to more success (with integrity) in your own business?

You probably delete those messages right away and wonder how anyone could fall for them.

I always used to laugh about how dumb the people writing them must be.

But guess what?

They’re actually brilliant.

And once you understand why, you’ll be on the road to getting more clients—without scamming anybody!

How do you make your business take off in just 90 days?  My podversation guest, Scott Duffy, will break it all down for you.

He wrote the book on how to launch your business and you’ve gotta hear what he’s learned from hanging out with Richard Branson and Tony Robbins – and from doing a scavenger hunt with MC Hammer.

You’ll see why every time a rocket launches into space, you should feel inspired about your business.

And you’ll never have to wonder what it takes to buy (and save) a rainforest again.  I know, you woke up this morning wondering… now your wish is my command.

If you think feeling that you suck at what you do is a bad thing, your life is about to change…

It’s human nature to enjoy doing what you’re good at.  In fact, you often say “it’s not my thing” to anything you don’t do well.

Yet, it’s actually not natural to us to reject the things we are bad at.   You don’t see babies choosing not to risk walking because it isn’t in their skill-set, do you?

Somewhere along the way, we decided that protecting our pride and our feelings was more important than learning to walk.

Today’s podcast is all about learning to walk as an entrepreneur.

You’ll find out the three things you need to be good at for your business to stop crawling and really get off the ground—and you’ll get an incredible formula for mastering all of them.

You’ll never view committing to something, or sucking at something, the same way again. In fact, you just might commit to sucking!

How do you stand out when everyone in your line of work pretty much follows the same advice and does things the same way?  What if you were able to get awesome inspiration from a totally unexpected source?

The music business!

Sound crazy?

Here’s the thing: A copycat never builds a blockbuster business. What David Hooper, today’s podversation guest, has to share about the music industry and marketing will give you a completely fresh perspective on your business.

Hooper is widely known for helping musicians create six-figure incomes. I wish everyone could hear his perspective on the vibrations of money and the power of charitable giving.

And what he has to say about the way that musicians respond to their audience will help any entrepreneur get in the groove.
