When NEVER to make an important decision. EP #238 - Den Lennie

How to Scale a Video Business with Den Lennie

Dear listener,

Everybody has business goals but not everyone achieves them. Why is it that some do and some don't? There are plenty of reasons, but one major reason (perhaps the biggest) is revealed in this episode.

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear:

• The single biggest bottleneck in your business, or anyone's business for that matter. (HINT: you can find this bottleneck in any bathroom. Just walk up to the sink, and lookup. - 1:05)
• A quick crash course in the 5-stages of business. (And... how knowing this can help you make smarter and more profitable business decisions - 2:00
• A nincompoop reason to stop advertising. (I'm sure you wouldn't stop marketing your video business for this reason, but if you have... you should get out your crayons and write down the advice given at 2:40)
• A shockingly good business maxim you should tattoo somewhere on your body or at least on your office wall. - 2:50
• Advice for video freelancers who aren't sure how to price their services. - 4:10
• A totally counterintuitive way to ratchet up your creativity. (Not only does this spark creativity, but it also makes the running of your business smoother and ultimately more profitable. - 7:00)
• A completely non-woo-woo look at how the stories we tell ourselves can attract things to our lives both good and bad. - 7:30
• When NEVER to make an important decision. (In this certain situation, your IQ can drop by as much as 50%. Unfortunately, most people make big - but silly - decisions in this very situation. - 12:00)
• A dead giveaway that you have a dirty big limiting belief. (We all have them, some are just better at identifying them than others. Here's how to spot them, and... how to change them to beliefs that serve you. - 14:00)
• There are two types of business owners: (1) business owners who make excuses, and (2) business owners who make money. You can't be both. Choose wisely, Freckles. (Hear Den riff on this topic at 16:00)
• How Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoons indoctrinate kids. (This is very subtle, but it can screw with a kid’s beliefs about money - like it may have done yours. - 19:00)
• The curious reason Den always avoided buying new cars, even when he really wanted to and had the money. - 20:00
• How to use your tongue to literally rewire your brain. - 20:20
• How to use an ordinary piece of cardboard to help change your beliefs. - 21:00
