There's a difference between knowing how to ask for help and making it feel burdensome. It requires approaching that ask with a certain energy.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Worrying about spending your money How money is infinite Doing what you love Resources: Text "DAILY" to 310-421-0416 to receive a daily money mantra for free Show Notes: We advocate for doing what you love, working hard, and being rewarded for it. And today, we're going to talk about that last part: the reward. Too often we get focused on the work – the hustle, that we forget what we're working for – and, not only that, but we forget to indulge in that reward. You have to remember that time is short, but money is infinite. You can always make more money, but you can't get your time back.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Why speeding up the sales process won't work Building a nurturing sequence Creating a manual exchange Resources: Join our Fastermind by texting the word "FASTER" to 310-421-0416 Show Notes: Let's talk about something that's going to help you make more sales. If you own (or aspire to own) a business, if you want to make more money, if you sell anything (and even if you have a job), this advice is for you. The number one problem we're seeing people run into in their business is missed launch goals, missed sales goals, or just a complete lack of sales altogether. When we dissect each of these scenarios with our coaching clients, what we're seeing is this: people are rushing the process. They don't spend time developing relationships with their audience. There are two ways you can nurture your audience and slow down your process to turn each "no" into a "yes". Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: Doing things you don't want to The compounding effect of small things How compound interest works Resources: Text "DAILY" to 310-421-0416 to receive a daily money mantra for free Show Notes: A few small things, when done consistently, can build up into massive results. When you start your day off by accomplishing one small goal that you weren't planning on doing, it compounds into feeling better and performing better for the rest of the day, which starts tomorrow off better, which leads to a better week, and so on. It is no different from the effects of compounding interest. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.

In This Episode You Will Learn About: The problem with high expectations Being OK with doing less The law of diminishing returns Resources: Text "DAILY" to 310-421-0416 to receive a daily money mantra for free Show Notes: I have high expectations of myself. I expect to be full of energy all the time, to be happy by default, and dreaming big every day.

And when we don't, we beat ourselves up. How do we reconcile trying to be at our best all the time while giving ourselves valid permission to run on different wavelengths when needed? In this episode, I discuss the delicate balance. Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out chrisharder.me.
