015: How to Protect Your Greatest Asset [Podcast]

by Jason Owens | Apr 26, 2020 | Jason R Owens Podcast

In Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits book, one of his first lessons is the Golden Goose.

It is an illustration of two concepts — production and production capacity.

Covey uses the Golden Goose analogy to illustrate the balance that we need to strike between our ability to produce and the production itself.

In short, don’t kill yourself.  Don’t injure your ability to produce by burning yourself out.

At the start of the year, I knew I had to make several changes to my non-work life, and this podcast tells you:

1. What I tried
2. How it is working for me in the first 4 months of the year.

After a very difficult period in her life, Laura Diehl woke in the middle of the night, her head filled with the title for a book and pages upon pages of notes.

What Is Working Right Now

I noticed that the blog posts in Laura’s blog often have what I’m calling a “Double Call-to-Action” where she has an after-post opt-in form above a second call to action for her speaking skills.

Laura says, “That [after-post opt-in form] has been our most consistent way of adding to our email list…”

Introducing Cortney Donelson

Cortney believes the content for her writing only came to fruition after experiencing one of the greatest tragedy-turned-love-stories ever told.

Her first book, which will be released by Morgan James publishing on March 7, 2017 called Clay Jar, Cracked, and her devotional blog, “As a Clay Jar,” are the products of her passions, faith, heart to encourage others, and God’s provision.

Cortney lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with her courageous husband and her two extraordinary children.  She works for International Mission Foundation.

[shareable]Your Bravery is like a muscle. It grows the more you use it.[/shareable]

Transcript

Complete interview transcript is available here.

What is Working

1. Being brave
2. Referrals for speaking engagements
3. Mentor who is introducing her to a broader network

The Four Elements of Bravery

1. Thinking that your message could help people.
2. Telling anyone your story for the first time.
3. Capturing your thoughts and feelings by writing a book/journaling, etc.
4. Putting yourself out there.

This doesn’t have to happen all at once.
It doesn’t have to happen all in this order.

Your Bravery is like a muscle. It grows the more you use it.

Three Steps You Can Take to Get Traction with Your Message

1. Start with the message first.
2. Package the message so that it resonates with a tribe somewhere.
3. Tribe begins to pull on you by placing a demand.

This is very iterative. You will need to do this again and again.
It takes time.
This is art!

017: Two Behind-The-Scenes Keys to Growing Your Platform [Podcast]

by Jason Owens | Sep 20, 2017 | Jason R Owens Podcast

I had the pleasure of interviewing Sebastien Richard for the launch of his new book, Lead Like a Superhero.  It is rare to have such a candid conversation with someone who is growing a platform.

What I liked most about our talk is that we reached beyond the usual surface conversation and tilled deep into what it is really like to transition from J-O-B to being a thoughtleader.

Interview Flow

• 2:00 Interview Starts
• 14:18 Lead Like a Superhero Sebastien’s New Book
• 28:00 Wrap Up Comments with Sebastien
• 32:17  Post-Interview Highlights and Takeaways

What is Working?

Booking Public Speaking Gigs – Attending the local chamber of commerce, Rotary meetings, Lions club.  Grow connections from there.  Often people come up afterwords and ask to continue the relationship.

Facebook Live – “I love to teach and get connected to people there,” says Sebastien.  People DO reach out via FB Messenger.  Prefers to keep messages around 5 minutes, but finds that the messages tend to be 10-15 minutes.  He runs these sessions twice a week.

Email Marketing – building through having a sign up form on webite, book site, and FB page.

Sebastien’s New Book – Lead Like a Super Hero

Sebastien launched a brand new book in May!  Click here to get a copy.

Interview Key Take Aways

1. There is no short path.  It takes work.  There is no magic FB ad campaign that is going to catapult your business to a million dollars per year.
2. Branding is an iterative process. Finding your voice takes time, and your brand will change as you find an audience that resonates with your message.

014: How to Break Free From Being Paralyzed by Perfection [Podcast]

by Jason Owens | Apr 17, 2017 | Jason R Owens Podcast

After a skiing accident took Karen’s hearing at age 19, she left the sport and thought her skiing days were behind her.

What Karen didn’t expect was to have those skiing passions reawakened more than 20 years later.  The process of transformation (I won’t steal the story, so you’ll have to download her free book to get the inside scoop) took Karen to levels of personal performance that she had never known.

Today, Karen shares these discoveries and more as a Passion Mentor, and she has built a very successful public speaking practice around her message.

[shareable cite=”Karen Putz”]No just means Not now. [/shareable]

What Is Working Right Now

Giving away a free download of her book.  She’s given away thousands of copies of her book over the years.  Karen is a BIG believer in providing value first as this leads to additional work like coaching sessions and speaking engagements.

• Network.  Start where you are.  Speak anywhere you can get the chance.  It often leads to more work.
• Find a successful speaker and take that person to lunch.
