In This Episode You Will Learn About: Operating without a plan The downside of superstition The importance of speaking what you want into life Resources: ENTER TO WIN OUR $2,800 HOLIDAY SWEEPSTAKES! Show Notes: Our life has been chaotic lately. So much has been changing that we've been afraid to talk about what we've been doing. We just sold our home – and we don't even have a place to stay yet. We're usually strong proponents of speaking things into life, so it was very odd that we wouldn't want to talk about this before today. And maybe, just maybe, that's why so many of our plans fell through in the first place. In this episode, we talk about manifesting, superstition, accountability, and more.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: How the barrier of entry to creating physical products is lower than ever The opportunities available in franchising Using products as a gateway to digital sales Resources: Visit chrisharder.me/mastermind to apply for my elite mastermind ENTER TO WIN THE LITE PINK $2,800 HOLIDAY SWEEPSTAKES! Show Notes: We've been covering the biggest trends that every entrepreneur needs to know for 2022, because if you can see what's coming, you can either get ahead of it by taking advantage of it early, or you can mitigate any damage to your business by clearing out of the way. The fourth trend we're covering involves a major move to franchising and white labeling consumer packaged goods. You don't have to completely switch business models, but if you're not thinking of ways to incorporate physical products into your business – even just as a gateway to more expensive digital offerings – you're going to be missing out on some serious opportunities next year.
