    2023/11/19
    🎙️Just wrapped up an incredible conversation on the Chris White Show with the inimitable Alexandra Cohen of ANC Consult, a boutique firm supporting small businesses with their growth strategies. From a litigation attorney to a business consultant, Alex’s journey is an inspiration for many aspiring entrepreneurs.   Our conversation explored the difference between six-figure and seven-figure businesses, the importance of a proactive planning mindset, and the significant barriers to the early-stage business cycle.  Alex generously shared her own experiences and insights into the world of small business development and even revealed her favorite Nelson Mandela quote which serves as a motivational force in her life.  🔑 Key Takeaways from the Episode: 1️⃣ The shift from a six-figure to a seven-figure business requires changes, including the way in scale, team expansions, and focus on bigger-picture tasks. 2️⃣ It's crucial to change from a reactive mindset to a proactive planning mindset to achieve growth and break free from the early stage business cycle. 3️⃣ Service-based businesses often follow the rule of thirds, where one-third of revenue covers overhead, one-third covers employees, and one-third goes towards net profit margins.  Tune into the full episode to get the real scoop and plenty more business tips for growth and success!  **Alex’s Featured Quote** “There is no passion to be found in playing small - in living a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” - Nelson Mandela **Alex’s Book Recommendation** Pamela Slim - Body of Work: Finding the Thread That Ties Your Story Together https://www.amazon.com/Body-Work-Finding-Thread-Together/dp/1591846196  Pamela Slim - The Widest Net: Unlock Untapped Markets and Discover New Customers Right in Front of You https://www.amazon.com/Widest-Net-Untapped-Discover-Customers/dp/1264266790  **Connect with Alexandra Cohen** https://anc-consult.com/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-n-cohen/ —------------------------ 💼 Are you a small to medium-sized business owner or an aspiring entrepreneur?

  • Ep 5: How to Master Your Mindset to Grow Your Business with Corey Anker

    Ep 5: How to Master Your Mindset to Grow Your Business with Corey Anker
    2023/10/22
    🎙️I am thrilled to announce that episode 5 of The Chris White Show is now live! In this episode, I had the privilege of chatting with the incredible Corey Anker, an executive leadership coach with over a decade of experience. We dove deep into the topic of mastering your mindset to grow your business, and the insights shared were truly transformative. Here are 3 key takeaways from our conversation: 1️⃣ Unbecoming for Success: Corey spoke passionately about the importance of unbecoming everything that isn't truly yourself in order to achieve success and connection. By shedding societal expectations and embracing your authentic self, you gain the power to move forward and reach new heights. 2️⃣ Language Matters: Corey shared a powerful mindset shift that can have a profound impact on our daily lives: replace the word "have" with "get." By viewing tasks as privileges or honors, we invite gratitude and perspective into our actions. This simple practice can lead to a more positive mindset and increased motivation. 3️⃣ Authenticity and Vulnerability: Corey emphasized that true happiness and growth come from being authentic and vulnerable. It's essential to remove protective armor and connect deeply with others. By doing so, we build trust, foster meaningful relationships, and unlock our greatest potential. If you're ready to cultivate a powerful mindset and take your business to new heights, I highly recommend tuning into this episode. Corey Anker's wisdom is truly invaluable, and I'm incredibly grateful for the insights he shared. Remember, mindset matters! Let's unleash our true potential and create a business and life we love. 🚀 **Corey’s Featured Quote** “Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you.” - Paul Coelho **Corey’s Book Recommendation** The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom https://www.amazon.com/Four-Agreements-Practical-Personal-Freedom/dp/1878424319  **Connect with Corey Anker** https://ankerline.com/  https://uncoveryproject.com/  —------------------------ 💼 Are you a small to medium-sized business owner or an aspiring entrepreneur?

  • Ep 4: Ryan Csolak: Why Your Business Needs a Fully Integrated Digital Marketing Solution

    Ep 4: Ryan Csolak: Why Your Business Needs a Fully Integrated Digital Marketing Solution
    2023/10/07

    Our fourth episode of The Chris White Show features Chris White’s conversation with Ryan Csolak, a digital marketing expert and President of the Ryan James Agency. 


    Listen in as Ryan cautions on starting a business with a friend (it's not always what it's cracked up to be) and why even small and medium-sized businesses need a fully integrated approach to digital marketing.


    Ryan Csolak is a lifelong creative, curious, purpose-driven "do-er" - and President of the Ryan James Agency - a full-service creative digital marketing agency.

                           

    Ryan’s experience includes over 25 + years of creative marketing experience, with 10 years at various agencies in the NYC area along with over 15 years running his own shop, the Ryan James Agency.

                           

    Ryan and RJA have a focus on creating passionate relationships between companies and their audiences while staying nimble, with small shop agility and up-to-the-minute marketing relevance. 


    Ryan's philosophy is “creative first” - because he believes without great creative, you will not achieve great results - no matter what the medium.

                           

    Ryan's sleeves are permanently rolled up, keeping himself connected, inspired, and constantly learning new things all the while growing personally and professionally.
