    E019 | Calming the Fear Inside featuring Joe Jackson

    Joe teaches others to have power over their fears so they can live the life they really want. Joe Jackson - Live on Purpose, Joe turned his childhood struggles into the push for him to create a program that helps others live on purpose themselves. After studying under Dr. Paul Jenkins, he realized that he could indeed help others and coach them through their traumas and fears in order to live their best and most successful life. ---------------------- How amazing would it feel if most every time you ask a potential client to meet with you, they give you an INSTANT YES!? Now you can get that awesome and amazing feeling over and over, anytime you want it. Download the INSTANT YES! Blueprint Today at theauthoritycreators.com/yes ---------------------- About Joe Joe Jackson resides in Liverpool, on the other side of the pond. He is living out his own purpose to help others face their fears and live their own special lives. Joe's 24 Hour Challenge It's all about the brain. And it's all about fight and flight and anxiety. However, no fight and flight isn't limited is in primeval moment, maybe we're fearful of a big bear in a forest. And sometimes our fight and flight gets turned on automatically, when it's not really serving as well. However, we can control and manage it. And we can do that by breathing. If you want to try with me, you can take a breath. And if you just follow my hand, actually, if you just take a nice, gentle inhalation, and my hand moves up. And then let that breath go. We'll do it again. Inhale 123, pause our breath and then let that breath go. And you'll notice between the inhalation and the exhalation Carol, that there's a space. And we can use that space. Just to create a pause and maybe just get intimate, friendly, or curious with that feeling of fear that you've got inside. So instead of reacting straightaway, just take the inhalation use that polls just to get curious and just say, “What's it about? Do I need to be scared of it?” . . . kind of get friendly with it. And maybe that fear can actually save us? And if we get kind of really cool with this method, we can actually start to use our fears as a currency for our success. And really make some changes. So our fears don't have to be a barrie, we can get more. As I really started to believe that our fears really are trying to speak to us and give us signals. Now, you can reduce that fear, step inside of it. And then we can boldly move forward without that fear and do things that we never even thought were possible. I love it. So brain science, get familiar with with your own fear and using that fear as your currency for success. It's really weird for me, and I think with practice, you know, we think we can stop using fear as as a barrier and a wall. Just realize that maybe maybe the fears we face for the reason it's there for a reason historically to protect us. So just use it to control our breathing. Breathing also helps reduce your cortisol and fat levels in the body, reduce your blood pressure. So that the body is attuned to feel relaxed to step into fear. And to see just what's happening. Oh, you know, it wasn't so bad. After all, I think I will give that presentation a try. Let us know how the challenge goes by posting on our Instagram or Facebook page.

    E017 | Speaking as a Business featuring Kricket Harrison

    Kricket teaches entrepreneurs how to use speaking as a marketing tool and how to become an expert speaker. Furthermore, she believes that speaking is the fastest way to establish yourself as the authority in your industry. Kricket Harrison - SmartSuccessinc.com, If you are looking to perfect your messaging in network talks, TedX Talks and basically anytime you get in front of any audience, you need to work with Kricket. Coming across genuine and authentic without worrying about being perfect and providing value is one of the first steps in securing clients using speaking and Kricket shows you how! ---------------------- How amazing would it feel if most every time you ask a potential client to meet with you, they give you an INSTANT YES!? Now you can get that awesome and amazing feeling over and over, anytime you want it. Download the INSTANT YES! Blueprint Today attheauthoritycreators.com/yes ---------------------- About Kricket Kricket spent the last 17 years working with individuals and teams to understand how they can capitalize on their performance and increase their bottom-line. For some it’s about time-management, processing, prioritizing, and communication within the organization. For others, it’s about presentation skills and speaking. It all goes together. If you are not focused in your work, then you are not focused when you are speaking about your services. You may have the best service or product, but if you can’t speak about what you do in a clear, concise, and interesting way, no one will buy. Name's 24 Hour Challenge I've worked with over 300 people on speaking and what I’ve found is that we're missing the gap when we do our introduction. So that's your baseline, again, you have you may not be a professional speaker, but you have a message, you have something you want to share your platform is why this product or service is important. You're just not on a stage. So always think in terms of speaking, and then think about, am I making it about me or them? Is it about the problem I solve? Or is it about all the letters by my name? And those of you listening, be really honest with yourself because there's so much of a growth opportunity here. And this is where you tell people the problem you solve. I'm a business coach. So what! So are 100 other people here. What's the problem you solve? And I don't mean that ugly, but you've got to be able to separate yourself. And if you don't know why you're good, and you're different, how are they supposed to know? And then it's got to be clear. Whether you are with a group of friends or in a community, you can do this. Because you are going to need feedback. Do your one minute introduction, I'm giving you 60 seconds, a little more than 30 seconds. And, it's just really name, who you work with problem you solve. When I introduce myself, I never say my company name, it's really irrelevant. I want people to know me. And when you have 30 or 60 seconds, that is precious real estate time. The challenge is to do your one minute and count the number of times you say I and try to talk about the problem you solve and the benefits to the receiver.

    E014 | Fearless Farming featuring Amy Milliron

    Amy teaches us why we should create regenerative agriculture meaning to plan your agricultural practices based on what the land is already guiding you to do. Amy Milliron - FearlessFarmers.org, I’ll help you to live in a self-sufficient way by teaching children and families about regenerative agriculture on a farm. We hire farm educators to teach the curriculum that I've created on these regenerative farms. The journey will be fun and you will learn a lot about soil health and the direct connection to the nutrient density of our food. About Amy - chairwoman of Fearless Farmers, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, envisioned people coming together in their communities to support local regenerative farmers and ranchers while offering their children a way to connect with their food. She previously operated an educational farm, Hills of Milk and Honey, in Dripping Springs, Texas where her team offered hands-on learning opportunities for families to get their hands in the soil and join the Regeneration movement together. ---------------------- How amazing would it feel if most every time you ask a potential client to meet with you, they give you an INSTANT YES!? Now you can get that awesome and amazing feeling over and over, anytime you want it. Download the INSTANT YES! Blueprint Today at theauthoritycreators.com/yes ---------------------- Amy's 24 Hour Challenge For this challenge, what I you to do is seek out your local farmers and vote with your dollars. That means really getting to know them either through a farmers market or directly from their farm and find out if they support regenerative practices or are aiming in that direction. And what the challenges is to really learn how to  vet them and see if they really are operating regeneratively so that you would feel comfortable knowing that you could support them, you know, organic practices are important, that sort of thing is often hard for farmers to even afford. And so the matter of getting to know the farmer and saying, “Well, what do you do? What do you use on your farm? Or what do you maybe avoid, that I would be grateful for, things like that. And so what I've done is I've put together a guide that’s available at fearless farmers.org. You may have to go to the outskirts of town because farms are probably not right around the corner from you. When you get to see the farm in action, it is life changing. Use the guide, find the farms near you to support, get to know them and then place an order in the next 24 hours. Let us know how the challenge goes by posting on our Instagram or Facebook page.
