Brendon Burchard's "How to Create Anything" Framework


A lot of people approach me for tips on how to write ebooks, make videos and even outlines speeches and presentations.  I understand the frustration of knowing you have a lot to say but not being sure where to starting "saying" so to speak.  For that, I present to you "The Create Anything Framework" from Brendon Burchard!

Before you wonder or ask, this is material that the great Mr. Burchard has put out there for free in his training videos over the last few months. What I've done for you is distill all the information down into a handout that you can keep and refer to as you work and CREATE your materials! You can watch his videos on YouTube HERE if you want to! There is a ton of great stuff there for you!

For now I wanted to make sure you got a PDF of his CREATE ANYTHING FRAMEWORK for free download.  Just sharing.  Click the link and it's yours with no "sign up" necessary.  I get a lot of questions from people asking for an outline to create ebooks and such.  I've found this is a great template for ebooks, videos, sermons, and more... "anything" I guess.  It was freely given and so I'm freely sharing.

If you're looking for more training and guidance on establishing your brand and getting your message out there for profit, check out The Expert Excellence Webinar that I put together just for people like you.  It's packed with information and insider secrets!  You'll love it!

To your success!

What If Nobody Cares About What I Have To Say?


This has to be every influencer's fear. You talk but nobody's listening. You've got wisdom to share but nobody cares.  You KNOW you've got the goods but can't even seem to give them away!!

The question for some of you is how do you break through this barrier in a way that makes a difference and DOESN'T make you feel like you're pouting, stomping around or crying out for attention?  It's very simple really: transparency.

(Maybe I should have added a drum roll for more dramatic impact?)

If you can inject more transparency into what you do and say, you will find people flocking to hear more from you.  They won't be able to stop themselves because people (all of us) are hungry for something real these days.  People are tired of the fluffy, superman-like stories from those who act like they came out of the womb running.  Enough!

Be real with people.  Then be raw.  Then get naked.  The more you uncover the more people will be attracted to your message.  A bunch of leaders who are courageous enough to be 100% authentic can truly change the world!

Write drunk. Edit sober.



Before you become righteously horrified, read this article.

People ask me from time to time how I produce so much material whether blogs, articles, courses and webinars, etc. I've got two quotes I learned long ago that press me forward.

"Write drunk. Edit sober." - Ernest Hemingway

“There is no such thing as good writing, only good rewriting.” – Louis D. Brandeis.

Am I suggesting you should go get a glass of wine, get sloshed and "VoilĂ !" Instant Best Seller!?  No. I'm saying one of the best ways to produce material is to stop worrying so much about structure, perfection and such things and just start typing. The more free you can make your mind, the better. The more you can allow yourself to flow, the better. Go back and edit when you're done because nobody's writing is good anyway. It's the rewrite that matters most. It's the rewrite that separates the amateur from the professional.

A six-pack is not the secret to success, but find a way to take the brakes off and go!

To your success!

Systems = Success!


What is the one thing that takes you from making money to getting rich? Systems. The more you can automate and duplicate what you do without having to inject YOU into creating the finished product, the more money you're going to make.  Working with systems vs working without them is like the difference between apples and oranges - totally different deal.

Don't let the thought of creating systems intimidate you, however.  It can be done in any business and at any time.  What's the easiest way to create a system? Begin documenting everything you do - no matter how menial it may seem to you - because that's the first step to being able to replace your own labor with labor that costs a lot less than your time costs.  How do you search for new leads?  What's the first thing you do when the phone rings? What do you say?  What material do you send prospects?  How do you solicit referrals?

Write down your process.  Put it in a binder and BOOM!  You've got a system in place.  Now do it again... and again... and again... and you're on the way to owning a business instead of owning a job.  Congrats!

The 7 Functions of a Coach


I wrote yesterday on how getting a coach can improve your life and even double your income.  This article is more about clarifying what a good coach does and doesn't do.  Here are some thoughts:


  1. Impart skills and knowledge 
  2. Impart confidence and understanding in the use of those skills 
  3. Motivate people so as to bring out the best in them - usually encouraging them beyond what they thought they were capable of doing
  4. Model the importance of learning the basics of a skill 
  5. Point the protege to other appropriate resources and links them with other professionals. 
  6. Observe the protege in action 
  7. Evaluate the protege's experience and gives feedback towards further development.

Remember, if someone is challenged to deal with past issues and hurts, they probably need a counselor instead of a coach.  Part of being a successful coach is being a person of integrity and directing people to where they can get help and being honest about when that person isn't you.

To your success!

7 Ways to Make Social Media Work Harder for You


Kind of jumping straight to the point here... I want to share a few tips and tricks with you that are easy to use but also easy to forget to use.  Check these out!

Remember, if you like these and want more, check out The Expert Excellence Webinar (c) - Position Yourself, Promote and Profit as an Expert on  Tuesday, February 26, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM (CST)!   In fact, YOU NEED to be a part of this training.  Your career needs it!

1. Increase your "Likes" on your page!  You can email all of your non-Facebook contacts and invite them to "Like" your Facebook fan or business page! Here's how:


  • Click on "Build Audience" to the upper right once you are on your business page. 
  • You will see a menu of options. Click on "Invite E-mail Contacts" 
  • You will see options to contact your Yahoo!, Comcast, AOL and other address books there. Click on one (Yahoo!, for example) and follow the instructions to import your contacts.
  • You can also contact up to 5000 people from your Outlook Address Book if you choose "Other Tools" and upload your Outlook address book. LinkedIn is one of your options, as well!  You will have to "Export" your contacts from those sources first, but it's not too hard.  Good luck!
This should help your social media marketing be more successful if you can reconnect with people who you've known and done business with outside of Facebook! It is said that every like is worth money, so there may be money you're leaving behind right now.

2.  Get a better name!  Use this link to shorten your web domains on Facebook: http://facebook.com/username It makes you much easier to find and gives you a sharper online image.

3. Upgrade your graphics!  Do you see most of the graphics on my blog? They cost my $5 each through Fiverr.com and were all done in 2-3 days. I'm happy to have upgraded my visual presentations! Now I'll get someone who knows Wordpress to work on the entire blog. But that's for another day! If you want to go a level higher, I recommend LogoLoft.com.  I've used them a few times with great results!

4. Harvest your content!  Did you know you can download a copy of everything you've ever posted on Facebook? I just did and I have a file of all my Status Updates, etc since 2008! This is a great thing because I am going to be able to go back and capture some of the best stuff for use in my blogs and other writings!

5.  Measure your influence!  I might be the last person to have discovered this, but if you add Klout for Google Chrome to your browser (assuming you use Chrome, as I do) it shows you everyone's Klout score as you Tweet. Your's too! They say "What gets measured gets done" and this is a simple way to measure your impact.

6.  Join a community!  FINALLY....Join my Expert Excellence Facebook Page!  If you are a writer, speaker, coach, trainer, author or ANYTHING that fits into the "Expert" market space, you need to be a part of this group! Nothing against motivational quotes and scriptures, but that's not what this group is for. This group is all about "shop talk" and exchanging tips, resources, etc. that will HELP YOU BUILD YOUR BUSINESS.

Please recommend it to someone else for whom you think it will be a great resource! Also read down the page a little...there is some great content and advice on the page and more is coming! The philosophy of the page is simple...if you know where the water is, point it out to other thirsty folks!!!

7.  Invest in learning a strategy!  In case you missed it, I created this training webinar for you complete with the video, full MP3 audio and e-book for you to purchase and download today!  I've got a lot more to share with you!

In today’s business world, there is a shift in the way we are all communicating. You must keep up in order to stay relevant and to connect with clients in today’s marketplace. I have specifically designed this presentation exclusively for professionals just like you including tangible ready-to-use approaches!
