    How to Create a Millionaire Mindset with Cole Vandee
    2025/10/01
    A seven-figure income doesn’t start with a business plan; it starts with a mindset. I discuss how to create a millionaire mindset in this episode with my guest, Cole Vandee. Cole is a strategic marketing mind behind more than 300 million dollars in found revenue generated for clients ranging from celebrity coaches to DTC brands in the pet industry. With his unique perspective to bridge the gap between what's working now and what the future marketplace will demand, Cole has catapulted several brands to 9 figures and beyond. The Early Pathway to Cole’s Millionaire Mindset While Cole’s life isn’t exactly the normal rags to riches story, he grew up in the American Midwest on the border of Illinois and Iowa on the Mississippi River in a small farm town. Success in his town, or even the rest of the country for that matter, wasn't anything like what we see on the Internet today. Success in his hometown was more along the lines of having a sixty-thousand-dollar home. You work at a factory making 18 bucks an hour. You drive a pickup truck. And that was considered wealthy for the most part where Cole grew up. There were a few outliers that owned local businesses and were doing better than most, but nothing like we see today with YouTubers, TikTokers, and internet celebrities. Cole had a burning desire because he believed more was available for him in this life, but he didn't know exactly what that meant or what it felt like. He chose to go into sales because it provided a virtually unlimited paycheck because of commissions. If Cole worked really hard and got really good at what he did, he could make as much money as he wanted. That seemed to be the path to follow at the time. You have to start somewhere, right? The Beginning of the Path to Success Cole took on a few random sales jobs. He sold auto parts for a while and then moved on to selling Cutco knives door-to-door. Then he got into car sales but didn't love the industry. He knew he was there to learn how to sell cars, take care of customers, and then move on to do something better. Cole was bridging the gap between not having a resume and having a resume to be able to get a job he actually wanted. Rather than continuing to add to his resume, Cole quickly moved on to owning his own businesses. He started many different companies. A lot of them failed. Reflecting, Cole says that most of his companies have failed at this point. He’s only had a handful of things that have actually worked; but those few made all the difference. To date he’s been a part of many companies that scaled up from zero to millions of dollars, millions of dollars to tens of millions of dollars and tens of millions of dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars. What Most People Don’t See or Know About When it Comes to Creating A Millionaire Mindset Cole believes the most important thing is to understand that your favorite, more mature business gurus out there that are very successful today got to their first million dollars without the internet. They weren't doing it with paid ads. They weren't relying on funnels. They weren't relying on marketing efforts. They weren't relying on Instagram views or anything else like that. They were picking up the phone and talking to human beings and making money with them and then moving on to the next human beings and making money with them and so on. The Starting Point of YOUR Millionaire Mindset When Cole reflects and compares himself to other people that have gone on to build multimillion dollar organizations (and some that have gone on to billions), it's the same mindset across the board. It's an audacious belief that you're going to make it work. When you look at it as an investment on paper, starting a business is the worst possible thing you could ever do. Almost every single business that starts will fail. Of the ones that do succeed, most of those will fail within the next 12 months. Of those that make it that far,

  • How to Use Public Speaking to Grow Your Business with Leisa Reid

    How to Use Public Speaking to Grow Your Business with Leisa Reid
    2025/09/17
    Public speaking is an excellent way to grow your business as an entrepreneur. You just need the right strategies and ways to get started. We discuss some of them in this episode with my guest Lisa Reid. As the Founder of Get Speaking Gigs Now, Leisa trains entrepreneurs who want to use public speaking as a soul-fulfilling business growth strategy. Clients who work closely with her “Get Their Talk Ready to Rock” and build their speaking skills and confidence through the Speaker's Training Academy. Leisa has booked and delivered over 600 speaking engagements, and she teaches her clients all of the strategies she uses to get booked, stay booked and monetize their talks. In this episode, she will share the #1 secret she uses to get speaking gigs along with other golden nuggets of advice! Why and How Lisa Got Started in Public Speaking For Lisa, public speaking is near and dear to her heart because she has always wanted to be a teacher. Even as a kid she remembers teaching her friends gymnastics amongst other things. It wasn't so much that she needed to be the center of attention or to have the spotlight on her. It was just that when she knew that she could help other people understand something quicker, easier, better; she had to do it. It was very fulfilling. Now she’s basically a teacher disguised as a speaker. She knows that because she works with entrepreneurs all the time, there's quite a few of us who have that same type of drive for teaching. When we get the opportunity to teach, we get a natural high, a shot of dopamine. Something amazing happens when you give the gift of teaching to an audience whether it's virtual in person. You know that what you're offering is going to help them solve problems or help make something easier for them. That’s a very fulfilling way to market your business! Leisa believes that people don't get into business to do the sales and marketing themselves. They are suddenly surprised how big of a part of their responsibility is sales and marketing. She loves teaching speaking because it’s one of the easiest and most fulfilling ways to do effective sales and marketing for them to market their businesses. Many entrepreneurs welcome that opportunity. Why Speaking Should Be a Big Part of Your Sales and Marketing as an Entrepreneur Public speaking is especially important if you have something that many people haven't heard of; such as your own philosophy or framework about how to do something. Then there are people who have problems that you can help with, but they don't know it yet. They may need more information than they can get by reading a synopsis of what you do on your website. Speaking always allows you to educate people and it allows you to educate more than one person at a time. With many live and virtual presentations, you can even record them and have evergreen marketing and branding content for future prospects. That means there are a lot of ways that you can duplicate your efforts while attracting your ideal clients and potential referral partners. That’s a great reason to get speaking coach. When you find someone that you want it’s because you can relate to their story. You like their personality. You like their humor. You like how fast (or slow) they talk. They resonate with you because it seems like they’re genuine. That's the kind of person that you should work with. The Starting Point of Public Speaking as a Sales and Marketing Tool In Leisa’s world the starting point of working with her is when you're ready to get your talk “ready to rock”. That means you need to decide what your talk is going to be about, what your title is going to be, what your learning points are, your description of the talk, and what your call to action will be. That's what she means when she says, “Get your talk ready to rock.” When you say that you're a speaker and update your LinkedIn profile to include “speaker” you’re claiming that title.

  • How to Share Your Leadership Story and Leave a Legacy with Shelley Goldstein

    How to Share Your Leadership Story and Leave a Legacy with Shelley Goldstein
    2025/09/10
    The epitome of leadership is the ability to share your leadership story and leave a legacy. I discuss how to do that with my guest, Shelley Goldstein. Shelley Goldstein is a leadership development coach specializing in communications affectionately known by clients as "The Coach Whisperer". The moniker stems from her intuitive ability to pinpoint untapped potential in leaders and cultivate it into speaking mastery with remarkable ease and speed. As the architect of Remarkable Speaking, Shelley has created a proprietary framework that has evolved into a global leadership development platform. Rooted in 30-plus years of experience in leadership, entrepreneurship, marketing, and design, her expertise allows her to creatively integrate time-saving drills, persuasive storytelling, and behavioral psychology, driving significant real-world impact. Your Leadership Story Your leadership story begins with the origins of why and how we do things. It can go back to your youth when you’re joining a music program or getting involved in sports. It's a study of behaviors involved with those activities. It's those stories that build one on top of the other that become your legacy, who you are today, and why you lead the way you do when situations call or leadership. Shelley’s Leadership Story: Back to the Beginning Shelley says her story goes back to when she was eight or nine years old and her and a group her friends put together a neighborhood newspaper. The three of them were about the same age. They included hosted a beauty pageant and had articles and recipes that they got from their neighbors. Being able to organize that at such a young age and publish it month after month had a profound impact on leadership in Shelley’s adult life. Looking back, she learned a lot about leadership skills and taking the initiative at a very young age. Some of the things she carries forward with her today is the idea of sharing that responsibility and delegating to other people. Whether she was aware of it or not, it just naturally happened. And Shelley believes that's what helps her be a better leader today; that sharing of ideas and giving people autonomy to create some of the most innovative, creative ideas of their childhoods. Leadership Showing Up Shelley remembers her earlier career as a costume designer. She had the responsibility of creating a look, making sure the costumes could be perceived from the audience. That meant meaning when that curtain goes up, she can't be up there with the assistants hemming and sewing. It was showtime. Shelley believes that whole idea of “it's showtime” was an early leadership development experience in her adult life. She realized that she can't do everything. She had to prioritize and realized you can’t sweat the small stuff. To lead through that and make sure her team understood that the work that they were doing as individuals contributed to their combined success; and that bigger vision of what things need to happen. The Beginning of Leadership in Your Adult Life It's so hard to say where it actually begins. If you have an idea, let's start with the incubating. You have a great idea. How you strategize that, how you move forward with that, that's an innate leadership skill. I'm going to have a marketing strategy. I'm going to have a sales strategy. I'm going to develop my brand this way. Those are all leadership skills because you're making important decisions. Those stories of how you eventually do that, that becomes the legacy. That becomes your competitive advantage and unique story to only you. The stories are so important because that's where the money flows. Money is how people respond to the stories. That's what people buy into. That's the journey. The Structure of a Great Leadership Story A great leadership story is the journey, the mistakes, the decisions you made when you were building your business. You know what? I'm going to go with my marketing strategy and h...
