715 - From Seven Years of Intention To Taking Action Within 7 Days
In today's episode, I share a transformative conversation highlighting how one coaching session can shift years of aspirations into rapid reality.
Recently, I had the pleasure of coaching Ryan Hamilton, a visionary who had been nurturing the dream of launching his own podcast and becoming an industry thought leader for seven years. During our intensive 90-minute session, Ryan sought to break free from the shackles of perfectionism and to gain momentum on his journey. We focused on practical steps that would empower him to "get the train out of the station" and bring his long-awaited passion project to the world.
This episode underscores a vital lesson: the 'perfect' time or idea is a myth that often impedes progress. Taking incremental, yet deliberate, steps can ignite a powerful chain reaction, propelling your dreams into existence. It’s about progress, not perfection.
My hope is that Ryan’s story and our coaching conversation inspire you to translate your intentions into tangible steps. Remember, starting with even the smallest act can lay the groundwork for greater achievements. And if you’re seeking guidance or a collaborative brainstorm to advance your objectives, I'm here to lend my expertise.
For those interested in exploring the Next Level Mastermind or a one-on-one coaching relationship, reach out to me directly at Cliff@CliffRavenscraft.com and use “Coaching” as your email subject. Let's make your vision a reality, together.

714 - Productivity Tips for Entrepreneurs
In this episode, I share a conversation with my friend Megan Porta to discuss productivity tips for entrepreneurs. Megan and I cover a variety of topics like our daily routines, time blocking strategies, using the power of "no," dealing with overwhelm, and maintaining work-life balance.
The conversation gets real as we open up about our struggles with burnout in the past. We both had to learn the hard way about prioritizing self-care. Now it's a non-negotiable part of our routines.
You'll walk away with practical tips you can implement, as well as a fresh perspective on being productive. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed the discussion! Let me know if any part of the episode resonates with you.Megan's Websites

712 - The Evolution of My Reading Habits: From Reluctance to Revelry
In today's episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, I delve deep into my personal journey with reading. I recall a time when the mere thought of picking up a book was enough to make me groan in protest. But oh, how times have changed! Dive in with me as I recount my transformation from a reluctant reader to someone who now revels in the world of books.
Key Takeaways:
My Aversion to Reading: The roots of my reading aversion can be traced back to my elementary, high school and college days. Books assigned were often not aligned with my personal interests. But was that the only reason?
A Turnaround in 2009: It was the book 48 Days to the Work You Love by Dan Miller that reignited my love for reading. Learn how it changed my perspectives on work and income.
Embracing the Digital Age: The convenience of e-books and audio books transformed my reading habits. I share how the Kindle app and Audible app on my iPhone shifted my approach to books and allowed me to read more frequently and in more places.
Tackling Multiple Books: Today, I'm currently juggling more than 70 books at once! I discuss my technique for managing multiple reads and how not feeling obligated to finish each one has given me a newfound sense of freedom.
Book Organization Tips: From the power of Kindle samples to creating book collections, I provide some of my personal tips and insights that have enhanced my reading experience.
An Interview Twist: In a special segment, I'm interviewed by none other than ChatGPT from OpenAI. Dive into a unique experience as I answer questions crafted to pull out the essence of my reading journey.
I hope my journey inspires you to look at reading in a new light, to find joy in the pages of a book, and to embrace the knowledge and experiences they offer without any reservations.

Customer Reviews
Inspirational
Cliff Ravenscraft is truly inspirational. I seem to be improving my mindset every time I listen.
This dude is insane
Do people know this guy is a crazy religious fanatic who thinks the Earth is 10,000 years old and dinosaurs walked with man? You’re taking business advice from a moron. There are folks leaving reviews asking Cliff to go back to being who he used to be. They are complete morons. If you couldn’t tell he was an egocentric narcissist from day one you are an idiot.
Spiritual Insights in Business
I really appreciate Cliff’s inclusive and informative style, including his live Clubhouse episodes. I especially enjoyed his affirmations episode, which thoroughly explains why they do work for some but not for others and how to solve this issue. Thank you, Cliff, for positive vibes and leading by example!
