Build a Personal Brand | Rhonda Swan presents in Dubai

To be successful, you need to build a personal brand that distinguish you from others.

In this video, my friend Rhonda Swan shares her story of how and why it is important to build a personal brand to do business on the internet.

I met Rhonda at a conference in Arizona back in circa 2014. I immediately had respect for her. She had confidence and was in control. Even way back then she had the “brand” of UNSTOPPABLE and still today she has stuck firmly with that brand.

Rhonda IS the “Unstoppable Momma”

https://www.unstoppablemomma.com/

The one simple thing I learned from Rhonda was to establish a BRAND that people will remember, so I have branded “MagicBrad” and it seems to stick. The MAGIC part comes from my interest in magic as a kid. When I was young (4-5 years old) I found an internet in magic and it stuck with me. After I graduated high school in 1975 from Fridley, MN I became a professional magician.

I did take on a “job” working for Anoka County Parks and Recreation for about 3 years, got layed-off and learned early that a traditional job is risky and out of my personal control. So, I opted to become self-employed and have been since.

I created the Synergy Collaborative as a way for others to experience the FREEDOM of being in control of their own life destiny. It’s for the entrepreneurial person that wants to create their own income without a ceiling, and create their own time-freedom without being a slave to the clock.

Is that YOU?

A Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) is a stroke of LUCK!

What is a Transient Ischemic Attack and is it really serious?

I had a “stroke” Transient Ischemic Attack of LUCK!

It was a Monday when I resigned as President of MediaMAX Events and Expos and sold my interest in the business.

Those of you from here in the Twin Cities, may recall, when I had my Exposition Management business, working with Rick “The Expo Guy” Martinek. We were producing 11-12 expositions a year. The Home Improvement and Design Expo, The Marketing Expo, the Event Planners Expo, and “ironically” the Health Life Expo and the Longevity Expo.

Rick is still at it, but it literally, almost KILLED ME.

I remember when I made the decision to resign back in 2012.

It was a difficult decision to make, because we were making very good money in the business, but we were also working long days and weekends to do it.

We were both stressed and working hard. I remember coming home from a networking event, and walking downstairs in our home in Golden Valley with a hand full of business cards. I walked over to the back window to look out and stare at nature and wildlife in our backyard and relax.

THEN I had a REALLY strange feeling! I had dropped the cards, and they were all sprawled out on the floor. BUT I did not recall dropping them. It was very WIERD!

I HAD A STROKE!! (or TIA)

When I had the TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) or “Mini-Stroke”, it was a wake up call, that I was working too hard and too stressed out from the long hours.

It was a Monday that I said to Rick, “I’m resigning and quitting this business. I’m not going to die in this office, Rick.” At first he was SHOCKED, but he understood. He had some health issues also.

It was a MONDAY, when I resigned and started learning how to earn money online via the internet.

 

On a happier note, I’m ALIVE and feel GREAT!

Enjoy your day, be well and take care of yourself, exercise, eat well and take some vacation time to relax.

Be well,

What is Entrepreneurship when it comes to Our Youth in Minneapolis?

What is Entrepreneurship when it comes to Our Youth in Minneapolis? The question of what is entrepreneurship seems like a simple one. But entrepreneurship goes much deeper than the simple question of what is entrepreneurship does.

When ever I see young people create businesses and provide their own source of income, rather than going to work for someone else, I have immediate respect for them.

This kid started his own hotdog stand to make money to buy his own clothes for school.  The experience he will gain from running this business will go far beyond just school clothes. He will learn so much about integrity, Customer Service, respect, and how to have a positive mindset to grow his business empire.

When you are cruising through North Minneapolis in Minnesota, and have an urge for something to eat, you should seriously consider visiting this young gentleman and supporting his business ventures.  He is paving the way for others to follow his lead and create their own reality and build their own lifestyle by design.

From his front yard this 13-year-old secured a summer job to earn his own money.  He is even leveraging social media and getting customers from Facebook.  He believes it is good to start young and grow.

What are you doing to free yourself from a 9-to-5 job? Or do you even have an interest in creating your own lifestyle? Entrepreneurship is not cut out for everyone. It requires discipline and dedication and perseverance. In today’s world, there are so many opportunities, that it is actually overwhelming. Granted there are a lot of scam opportunities online, but there are many legitimate ways to earn money online also. I encourage anyone that has an interest in expanding their personal growth to look into starting and online income of some sort. At least some sort of side hustle in addition to their 9 to 5 job so they can get a feel of what it is like being self-employed and in charge of their own destiny.

You can visit his stand in Minneapolis located at 1510 Penn Ave North

I support anyone that wants to create their own income with self-employment.

Yoga Poses and Studio Ownership: The 3-Step Foundation

So… you are considering opening a Yoga Studio…

Yoga poses and Studio Ownership require two very different skill sets. However keeping harmony and balance in either or both is key.

LOCATION

Where do you want your studio?

You might think that a busy retail space is ideal. This may help with drive by traffic, but do you actually NEED drive by and walk by traffic? A busy traffic location will COST MORE. Another thought you might consider is an IDEAL area with a “ready to tap” community of like-minded people. These days with Social Media Advertising, it is much eaisier to find other Yoga and Fitness Enthusients.

 

Minneapolis has a lot of unique unusual old warehouses spaces. These spaces would be much more afforable than a space on a busy high traffic area like Uptown Minneapolis. Also, on a side-note, I know a guy in Costa Rica that has a development and is wanting to add a Wellness Center to the complex. (Might be a great opportunity calling you) 

 

MISSION

The big question of WHY are you opening a Yoga Studio?

Why are you wanting to open a Yoga Studio. Is it the money? Is it the lifestyle? Is it making a change in the world? Is it helping other people? Before you move forward, get REALLY CLEAR on your “WHY”. 

 

SUSTAINABLE

Not just ecologically, but also the FINANCE of running the business and making is profitable. Are going to earn enough money to pay yourself well, and also pay your teachers and trainers well? Will you be doing Retreats and other events to increase your income. Will you be able to pay the rent and keep the lights and heat on?

 

PS: My friend Nick has a development in Costa Rica and wants to add a Wellness Center to his complex. Costa Rica is a very energy sustainable country. (and has no army) Kinda cool.

Why MagicBrad uses GetResponse for Automation and List Building

If you have been in the online marketing world for almost any length of time, and have been learning about how to make money online, then you have more than likely heard the phrase… “The Money is in the List”. List Building is one of the skills that everyone will need to learn to earn.

Building a list (or database) of leads, prospects and customers is a key element in any business venture.

If you have been following me for a while, you know I like to use analogies to explain seemingly complex technologies. I often use a Nature Analogy of Plant Seeds (leads), Nurture Plants (relationship), Harvest Fruit (money).

You will never “Harvest the Fruits of your Labor” (make money) until you “Plants Seeds in a Fertile Garden” (leads). And before the seeds will begin to grow, you need to “Nurture them until they sprout plants” (relationship).

LANDING PAGES are the pieces of Internet Real Estate that gather the seeds (leads) that are planted.

AUTOMATION features offer the ability to create Time Freedom.

TRACKING STATS to check the efficacy of your marketing.

What I like about GetResponse (see banner below) is it has plenty of features that can be used in the 3 key elements of making money online.

  1. Lead Generation (Landing Pages, Opt-In Forms, Database, etc.)
  2. Relationship Building (Video Embed Features)
  3. Sales Processing (PayPal Buttons)
