Travis Makes Money

On this episode of Freestyle Friday your host, Travis Chappell talks how to use Facebook to grow your network. You don’t have to spend money on Facebook ads to use the platform as a powerful tool. With the right mix of content and engagement and a great looking timeline you can grow your network. Episode Highlights:  Optimize your Facebook timeline. Many people expect Facebook to be easy to harness, but they don’t spend any time on it. Optimize your profile and cover photos as free advertising space. People need to know who you are and what you do as soon as they get to your timeline. Have a clear concise “I help” statement. Only have one featured photo that directs people to a landing page. Post good content. If people see something of value and engagement, they’ll probably stick around. Be sure to use Facebook stories and Facebook live. Join Facebook groups that are both inside and outside of your industry and be actively involved. There are a lot of ways to use Facebook as a platform without spending money. 3 Key Points: Your Facebook timeline is free online billboard space. If Facebook wants you to use a feature it probably optimizes you in the algorithm. Be active and provide value in Facebook groups.

On this episode of Freestyle Friday your host, Travis Chappell talks about how to become a person that people want to connect with. Learn three tangible ways you can grow a good size audience and become a sought after connection. Episode Highlights: There’s a big difference between trying to connect with other people and being the person people want to connect with. Constantly be working on yourself to be sure you’re the type of person people want to connect with. Three ways to become a person people want to connect with: 1) Become a person of influence. 2) Become a person of interest. 3) Become a person of value. You might not understand how you can add value to someone when you’re getting started. The value that you provide can change over time.

If you implement the three ways people will want to connect with you and you’ll use less energy. 3 Key Points: When you have the stage and the influence you become the person people want to connect with. Become a person of interest - being interesting and recognizable are two different things. Figure out a way that you can add value to people.

Most success comes down to confidence and one point or another, your host Travis Chappell talks to today’s guests and gleans valuable confidence building strategies. Episode Highlights: Chris Harder Start with network marketing or door-to-door by practicing on video. You have to get out and do things and be consistent. Do more Instagram stories, be interesting and don’t worry about the feedback. Aubrey Marcus Arrogance is insecurity, it’s covering for something you’re not sure about yourself. Be mindful of challenges and their impact on your psyche. You have to know who you are and let that be enough apart from outside validation. David Meltzer Clarity, balance, and focus bring confidence. Allow things to happen, don’t limit your point of entry and pursue your potential. You have to figure out how to qualify opportunities. The greatest challenge in negotiation is to provide the most value you can. 3 Key Points: The best way to build confidence is consistency. Confidence doesn’t come from how others view you, it’s how you view yourself. Remain open to possibilities and opportunities. Tweetable Quotes: “Be consistent and over time your confidence will start to build itself.” -Travis “Who you are is enough apart from outside validation.” -Aubrey “The more successful you are the more opportunities you have.” -David Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Learn more about mentorships and masterminds for FREE at http://www.freemmcourse.com/join (freemmcourse.com/enroll) Learn to build a professional, profitable podcast - http://travischappell.com/coaching (snag a VIP day spot) Explode Your Network at http://travischappell.com/explode (travischappell.com/explode) For information regarding your data privacy, visit https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.

This is the second interview between your host Travis Chappell and David Meltzer. David is the co-founder and CEO of Sports 1 Marketing and S1MEDIA house, two-time number one best selling author, and has been named a top 10 keynote speaker by Forbes and Entrepreneur. Marshall Goldsmith has recognized David as a top 100 business coach and an advisory board member of over 45 companies and charities. He recently invested in Splice and is the Executive Producer and host of Elevator Pitch and host of the top 5 business podcast, The Playbook. David talks to your host about inner fulfillment and how to get there, how to overcome things that have happened in the past between you and other people. Episode Highlights: Dave’s directive really became clear when he was five years old because his dad left. Dave believed money bought happiness because he grew up with very little. He grew up playing football and picked a college where he could play football. He learned that he could sell early and that’s part of why he went to law school. He found a way to weave sports into his first job out of college. All of Dave’s brothers and sisters were doctors and lawyers. Parents don’t tell kids what to do, they show you. You don’t do what you love, you learn to love what you do. How to change your mindset about your job - find the light in it. If things aren’t going the way you expect them to go, pray for someone’s happiness. Just because you’re financially successful doesn’t mean you’re actually successful. When things happen for you, you can have too much and it can make you unhappy. Spirituality and math go into Dave’s decision-making process. If you can create a “habit machine” then you can think about what you want to do and get out of your own way. List out three things in your life that you know are good for you, but you don’t do. If you believe that if you say “thank you” for over 30 days your life will be different and then you do it, your life will change. Getting growth doesn’t start without action, even small actions. We input data into our systems through the five senses, but our data is foggy. It takes one particle of light to cancel out a million particles of darkness. Neural pathways create habits and they’re impacting your DNA. We usually make decisions based on the opinions of others which is how you make huge mistakes. Be really clear and simply about what you want in life. Who you know is more important because it includes what you know. The Random Round What profession other than your own do you think it would be fun to attempt? Professional athlete If you could sit on a park bench with anyone past or present and talk with them for an hour, who would it be and why? Einstein He had the greatest grasp on how relativity and physics mesh into one. How do you like to consume content? Audio David’s favorite podcasts: How You Built This The Playbook David’s morning routine: Wake up at 4 am Meditate for 20 minutes Go to the gym from 4:30-5:30 Come home and focus on family from 5:30-7:00am Leave the house at 7:30 with coaching calls Execute on the daily plan Provide hundreds of dollars worth of value and only ask for $20 back What is your go-to pump up song?

Rylee Meek is the founder and CEO of the Social Dynamic Selling System which turns dinner seminar marketing into a science. Rylee has produced over $80 million in sales over the past 8 years and is not on a mission to help other entrepreneurs and business owners to reach their goals. Rylee talks to your host Travis Chappell about how to use dinner seminars in your business, why everyone should use some sort of direct sales at one point or another, and why failure is such a huge part of success. Get tactical and practical tips in this episode of the Build Your Network Podcast. Episode Highlights: Rylee grew up in small-town South Dakota and decided at 15 to work and contribute. He started his entrepreneurial journey young and learned about personal development. After feeling like a complete failure in business he went on to get into insurance. He did well in insurance but didn’t want to do that for the rest of his life. He made a decent amount of money in sales and he knew he wanted to be in health and fitness. He bought a 24 Hour Fitness franchise and found that he was working hard and making little. Rylee started his first company selling home improvement products to make their houses more energy efficient. He realized that his passion wasn’t selling products but pouring into people. Rylee’s new book Food for Thought talks about how to use dinner seminar marketing to grow your business. The book is broken down into six different categories from choosing the restaurant to how to scale. The foundation of why dinner marketing works well is that you’re not there to sell them, you’re there to establish yourself as the authoritative figure in your market. The target profit margin you need to be able to sustain. Everything Rylee has had success with has been through a relationship. Even though Rylee has been very successful he’s still always in a mentorship or a mastermind. You have to have a system in place and operate with intent - don’t just let life happen to you. The Random Round: What profession other than your own do you think it would be fun to attempt? Surgeon If you could sit on a park bench with anyone past or present and talk with them for an hour, who would it be and why? Nicola Tesla How do you like to consume content?

Remember the Name What is something you’re not very good at? Mechanical things What is one place online where we can find Rylee the most? http://socialdynamicselling.com/ (socialdynamicselling.com) 3 Key Points: You can be as passionate as you want but if you don’t have a sales system you won’t be successful. You need a system that’s predictable, sustainable, and scalable. You never know what could happen if you’re open to opportunity. Tweetable Quotes: “Do the uncomfortable until it becomes comfortable.” -Rylee “Money isn’t everything until you don’t have enough of it.” -Rylee “The goal is to do more, be more, become more.” -Rylee Resources Mentioned: Visit Travis’ website at http://www.buildyournetwork.co/ (Buildyournetwork.co) Join the Build Your Network Facebook group http://www.buildyournetwork.co/fb/ (BYN.media/fb) Join the Build Your Network University Facebook group here https://www.acast.com/privacy (acast.com/privacy)Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.
