| 17 Oct 2018 | BYP 155: The Two Most Life-Sucking Words You Can Tell Yourself | 00:26:05 | |
Behold two of the most sleep-stealing, life-sucking, worry-causing words I tell myself: “By now.” Fight as I may, they always seem to find a way to seep into my thoughts. Maybe you’ve said a few of these to yourself: By now…I should be out of debt. By now…I should have lost 20 lbs. By now…I should be finished with school. By now…I should have kicked that habit. By now…I should be married. By now…I should have a bigger house. By now…I should be famous. By now…I should know what I want to do with my life. In this episode, you'll learn practical steps on how to deal with "by now" syndrome, as well as the concept of "death by a thousand cuts". You'll also learn how to position yourself for greater opportunities.

| 09 Jan 2019 | BYP 166: How To Deal With Pain, Loss, and Grief | 00:24:48 | |
Experiencing pain, loss, or grief sucks (that’s an understatement), yet it’s a normal part of life. In this episode I share some hard-learned lessons on moving through pain, loss, and grief.
Pain + Reflection = Progress
One of the most important capabilities you can develop in life is the ability to reflect on pain rather that react or avoid it. Most people can’t reflect on their pain while they are going through it. They focus so much on the pain that they aren’t able to consider what is happening, why they ended up in this situation, or how they are processing the pain.
Once the pain subsides, they simply move onto something else and never really address the core issues. They medicate, or cope, or distract themselves because it’s too painful to go back and address the core issue.
Here are 5 things I’ve learned in the school of hard knocks when it comes to managing and processing pain in order to produce progress:
If you are going through a difficult time right now, please don’t hesitate to reach out to friends and family. To isolate yourself is often the worst decision you can make when experiencing tremendous pain, loss, and grief.

| 27 Dec 2022 | 360: My Daily Self-Affirmation Track | 00:19:52 | |
Please Read: Affirmations have been a huge part of my growth this past year and I thought it would be appropriate to publish the actual track I listen to every morning and evening. While my background is in writing, I’ve always found it difficult to write my own affirmations. I’ve collected several from a few books I’ve been reading, the most significant of which has been Quantum Success by Sandra Anne Taylor. This book contains several affirmations at the end of each chapter, so I recorded them and created my own affirmation track. If you’d like the transcript I wrote for this episode, visit the show notes page here: mikekim.com/yatb360. I left this track without music or other normal pre-rolls, so that you can listen to your own music in the background and not be distracted by other audio segments. Happy New Year, and may 2023 be your best year ever.

| 30 Jan 2017 | BYP 104 - What To Say On Your Website (5 Things Your Customers Need to Hear You Say) | 00:20:22 | |
Your website’s homepage will often be the first point of contact for prospective customers and clients. That said, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. I've seen hundreds of websites over the years, from Fortune 50 corporations to the solo entrepreneur and everything between. There’s one thing that prevents all of them from converting prospects into paying customers: The lack of clarity on their website. When you influence language, you influence thinking. The right words can attract paying customers like a moth to a flame. The wrong words can repel customers faster than a guy with bad breath. Today's episode will give you a 5-point framework to make sure the words on your website are crystal clear.

Today, I am bringing my good friend Ray Edwards back onto the show. He just released his new book, Permission to Prosper. The book is all about money, self-worth, and why it’s okay to do well. It’s about time those of us who are building businesses fixed our mindset around the issue of wealth. As Ray says, not only do we have permission to prosper, but a mandate to multiply. Ray also taught me that an abundance of money won’t fix a poverty of spirit. If you think you live with a poverty mindset, tune in to our amazing conversation where talk about:

Several good friends of mine teach different versions of this, and a good part of my own business involves helping people with this pivot.

What does it take to really grow a business? In today's episode, I talk about why being grateful for where you are may actually be keeping you from where you need to go. Starting and scaling a business takes a lot of hard work, but there's a reason you decided to do it in the first place. There was something in your life that was unfulfilled. You didn't want to do meaningless work. That was a longing -- even a pain point -- that caused you to launch your own brand.

A few weeks ago Dr. Ann Vertel, an accomplished business coach, speaker, and avid listener of the podcast, asked about how to market "soft" skills. In today's episode I share a simple approach to marketing based on your potential client's level of awareness. In short, the more aware a client is of his or her need for your service, the more direct you can be with your marketing. The more unaware they are, the more "indirect" you need to be in your marketing -- preferably with an emphasis on story-telling. Mentioned in Today's Episode: | |||

| 27 Sep 2022 | 347: The Myth of Passive Income and How You Can Still Profit from It | 00:29:22 | |
Many people believe that passive income will solve everything. They don’t realize the price that needs to be paid to keep their personal brand recognizable through books, courses, and trainings. In this solo episode, I go into what passive income means to personal brands and how it’s different than what Robert Kiyosaki teaches in his book “Cashflow Quadrant.” When thinking of passive income, we often think of investing in real estate. But as you buy more real estate, more energy is required to keep making money. However, you don’t need physical property to make passive income as a personal brand. You can sell your intellectual property. Listen in for what I recommend to truly make a passive income.

Kira Hug is the co-founder of The Copywriter Club and host of The Copywriter Club podcast. She helps small business owners sell their ideas, products, services, and programs through copy that creates meaningful conversation.

Kira’s goal is to help her clients understand themselves and run their businesses through that lens. She also wants to figure out how to best help other copywriters share their voices and get out in their own way, so take the time to listen in and absorb all that she shares.

| 07 Mar 2017 | BYP 109 - Why 10x Thinking Is Better Than 2x Thinking | 00:23:30 | |
One of the keys to my success has been thinking in terms of 10x rather than 2x. When you ask yourself the hard question of how you plan to grow your business by 10x, it opens up new pathways in your thinking and decision-making. In this episode, I share how 10x thinking has affected how I run my business now and the ripple effect it's had on how I set my fees and decide which projects I take. Apply For Brand You LIVE here.

| 26 Jun 2019 | BYP 190: 7 Things You May Not Know About Me | 00:29:28 | |
“In a personal brand, the messenger is often more important than the message.” One of the most underrated and overlooked pieces of marketing content you can create is this very episode! In the personal brand space, the messenger is more important than the message. Think about every “guru” or expert you follow. Does that person say anything radically different from his or her competition? Radically different? Probably not. So why do you follow that person over, say, someone else? It’s because of the way you feel about them. It’s because there’s some level of connection or commonality, and that’s exactly what doing a “7 Things You May Not Know About Me” post does for you. I often use this kind of content in new settings like group coaching days or mastermind sessions to build rapport and pick up on interesting things about people that might be used in their marketing. For this episode, I selected these topics (and you’ll hear my answers to each):
The point is to have fun with this kind of post. I’ll often pull from the answers to these questions and create a “Hi, I’m Mike” post after I’ve received a number of new followers on social media. Otherwise people feel like they’re jumping into my story mid-season, and doing a post that summarizes some of these things can help bring people into my journey and brand.

| 05 Jun 2019 | BYP 187: Put Out the Fire or Fan the Flame - 5 Business Takeaways From My Time in Florida | 00:19:21 | |
My time in Florida has come to a close (nothing to worry about, it was always intended to be a 6-month tenure) -- and I have so many incredible insights from my time there. When you work with people of the caliber of John Maxwell and Paul Martinelli, you’re bound to pick up on a few things. Here are just a few that impacted me, that I hope will help add value to you: Incentivize people with money and commissions. You’ll hear a bit of my background in sales (yes, I used to be a telemarketer!) and how I was inspired to return to my roots in commission-based incentives. You can’t save your way to wealth. I spent more money to keep my business running during this time period, and it made more money because of it. You’re being hired to either put out a fire or fan a flame. Remember this analogy! It will be of use to you when having conversations with potential clients. Telling is not selling. If all you do is tell, you aren’t having a conversation, you’re giving a lecture. There are fans, and there are people who actually want to learn. My time in Florida was amazing from a professional standpoint. The wisdom I gained there is invaluable -- but I also gained tremendous personal clarity because, well, I didn’t like living in Florida! It was good for me in that I had a place to land for six months. Life was a bit chaotic the past few years, so it was good to be grounded for a season. I realized more than ever that I want to live in a place where I can feed off the energy, atmosphere, and culture.

As with all of life, it’s so important right now to get good at the art of reframing the situation. We need to keep asking, “What does this make possible?” For personal brand businesses, the answer is, “A lot.” I’ve been asked over and over if businesses should sell, market, and run ads at this time.

1. In your marketing, change your language from survival and frustration to the language of adjusting and adapting 2. Jerry McGuire yourself 3. Don’t stop selling 4. Don’t be afraid to downshift back into what you did before 5. Tater-tots and sawdust

| 10 Jun 2020 | BYP 237: Do You Make These 5 Mistakes When Trying To Connect With Your Audience with Geoff Kullman | 00:41:17 | |
Geoff Kullman is an amazing copywriter who helps his clients connect to their audience. He is one of the few writers I completely trust and have even worked with on my own client projects. In this episode, we talk about some of the mistakes entrepreneurs make in connecting with their audience. Being clear isn’t enough. At some point, each of us has to learn to tap into emotion to genuinely connect with people. Some of the things we discuss that keep entrepreneurs from doing so are: 1. Talking about themselves way too much without making connection points to their customers 2. Not identifying their client’s hopes, values, dream, and goals 3. Being afraid to ask for a sale, even if they truly believe in their offer 4. Not knowing their purpose 5. Failing to build credibility until a crisis occurs
I’ve matured in this space over time and have realized the importance of consistently honing in my marketing skills. If you have a personal brand business but struggle to put words to your values and connect with your audience, listen in to all Geoff has to share.

He also goes into his tactics for cultivating relationships and building a social media following, including:
#1. The importance of creating and reposting great content. #2. The power of shout outs and connecting with people on social media. #3. What expressing genuine interest in others, complimenting them, and making them feel valued can do.

| 20 Mar 2019 | BYP 176: 10 Takeaways from the John Maxwell Team’s International Maxwell Certification Event | 00:30:21 | |
Recently I was able to serve and attend the John Maxwell Team’s International Certification Event in Orlando, FL. There were about 3,000 people in attendance, and this was my first opportunity to see and experience what the entire “tribe” of the John Maxwell Team is about. While the stage content is second-to-none, I quickly realized the same can be said of the people. I was privileged to meet incredible people from all sectors of leadership. One thing I often teach when advising brands is to focus on psychographics rather than just demographics. Demographics are statistics: age, income, sex, and so forth. But psychographics are all about mindset and how people think. When it comes to personal development, psychographics trump demographics every time. It was clear in what I saw at this event: there were people from all walks of life, representing over 100 countries, ranging from 11 years old all the way 90 years old. What tied them together? A desire to make the world a better place through positive influence. One of the great privileges of my professional life is to steward the messages of influential people like John Maxwell and Paul Martinelli, and it’s often in those side conversations that the best stuff comes out. A Free 5-Part Series on How to Market Yourself As A Coach or SpeakerI’ve put together a free teaching series (5 hours of content!) called the Brand You Bootcamp for those who want to start a side-hustle and eventually scale into a full-time business.
Over 800 people have gone through this bootcamp, and I’ve received rave reviews saying it’s better than courses that cost $2,000. It’s free, so if you’re looking to start, run, or grow your personal brand business, join the bootcamp today: https://mikekim.com/start

| 03 Apr 2017 | BYP 113 - [Niches] How to Build A Six-Figure Fitness Brand with Jeff McMahon | 00:36:28 | |
It's been said the "riches are in the niches" -- and that's what we're going to be looking at for the next 3 episodes on the podcast. You're going to get real-world case studies of how several of my friends and colleagues have built significant six-figure personal brands by narrowing their niche. In today's episode, I interview Jeff McMahon of Total Body Construction, a personal trainer who has taken his business to the next level by training entrepreneurs virtually in addition to what he does in person. Jeff's business is fascinating because he has three different niches to the same fitness business, and all three have very different types of customers. It's a great lesson on how to extend your product line laterally -- meaning offering the same services to different audiences. We also talk about the realities of building a visually-based business (you've got to look good to build a fitness business, right?) and how Jeff leveraged one client, internet entrepreneur Pat Flynn, to land client after client afterwards. You'll also find out why I personally think most of my fitness coach friends are being duped by big businesses like BeachBody. While I love BeachBody's products, the way they advise their trainers to build businesses is terrible!

| 02 Aug 2022 | 339: I Took Five Weeks Off Work, Here's What I Did | 00:22:39 | |
At the end of 2021, I decided that I wanted to take a month off of work. I set my systems in place, let everyone know that I would be taking a break, and began my staycation on June 1st. During my time off I learned some valuable and unexpected lessons. For example, I learned I have a lot more agency over my calendar than I thought. I also found that I enjoy writing and my social posts were having a higher impact than they used to. I was able to walk away for five weeks and return, refreshed and enriched, to my business without missing a beat. I officially returned to work on July 12th with a new excitement for what I do. Listen in to learn how I took five weeks off of work and how you can begin to put systems in place so you can take a break without your business suffering. Special Announcement I quietly created an all-in-one online marketing and customer management platform for people who are ready to get real business systems in place.
