Building a business means constantly making yourself visible. But if you’re like most people, there’s a part of you that’s afraid of being seen. If that’s been stressing you out or filling you with doubt, here’s some relief!

When I started my business, I was shy and really just wanted to avoid attention. Being an entrepreneur seemed like something meant exclusively for extroverts, not for me.

These days, people who constantly see me everywhere want to know how I went from avoiding any attention to being absolutely OK to be seen.

They don’t want just the story. They want to know the EXACT steps I took.

So, today I’ll lay out three simple but powerful steps I discovered that moved me beyond my fear and broke my shyness barrier.

No matter how shy or self-conscious you are, you can use these same steps to build the confidence you need for your business soar!

Most people think success comes from discovering what you’re naturally good at and then sharing your gifts with the world. And that’s exactly why most people are not nearly as successful as they could be!

What if I told you that the whole idea of natural talent is a myth?

The truth is, trying to “find your gifts” is usually a road to nowhere.

Achieving great success requires NO natural talent.

Today, I’ll tell you what success DOES require.

And I’ll share a simple mindset shift that will open your path to wild success in business, and in life.

Wildly successful entrepreneurs aren’t inherently different from other people. But there’s one thing they do that most of us haven’t caught on to yet.  

They think about their business in a way that makes their success virtually inevitable (despite any doubts or fears they might have).

According to superstar venture capitalist Chris Sacca, the biggest predictor of small business success is “inevitability.”

But what exactly does that mean?

And is the success of your business inevitable?

You’ll find out in this episode—and discover how to jump on the inevitability train.

Over 80% of small businesses survive check to check. That means if they don’t receive a new deposit this month, they’ll have trouble covering expenses and may risk going out of business. How can entrepreneurs thrive in such a stressful situation? They can’t…and here’s the way out!

My guest today, bestselling author and entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz, has helped thousands of small business owners think differently and in the process actually set the stage for more profit.

He’s here to tell us all about his radical new approach to the “paying yourself first” principle, where you put more emphasis on the money you keep (profit) vs. the money you generate (revenue).

Ah-ha moments are guaranteed!

Most entrepreneurs follow a path designed for growth and success…NOT for happiness. But there’s a new business paradigm that lets you move your business forward without the need to sacrifice your own happiness.

The old paradigm of success is trying to achieve at any cost.  In the new paradigm, happiness and enjoyment of what you do is part of what success is.  So success is no longer measured just by counting the dollars that end up in your bank account.

It is so much more.

Today’s episode is a loving reminder for you (and for myself) to operate a business with a mission to make a difference in the world AND make you happy in the process.
