Life on Fire TV (Video) – Online Business Coaching With Nick Unsworth

89: What’s Your What? Discovering Your Purpose With Steve Olsher

Familiar with the concept of “paying it forward”? If you’ve been tuning in to Life on Fire for any decent amount of time you know we’re all about paying it forward! It’s so easy in life and in business to keep our heads down, work away, and stay focused on our own lives, needs, and wants. The phrase “givers gain” is so very true. Ever since I started intentionally giving, it has come back into my life in so many ways and in such abundance. But, I truly believe it’s not the just the act of giving that allows you gain, it the intention with which you give. And, as crazy as it sounds, when you give without an agenda and without wanting or trying to gain anything at all, that seems to be when you gain the most. We’re about to be give in a MAJOR way to a group called Pencils of Promise to help build a school for impoverished children. It’s all happening through our Life on Fire Virtual Summit, which consists of over 24 amazing interviews with some of the most incredible entrepreneurs around, such as Gary Vaynerchuk, Kevin Harrington from “Shark Tank”, Brian Tracy, John Lee Dumas, and MANY, more!

The art of storytelling has been admired for hundreds of years. And, never has it been more valuable than in our current society, especially for business. Storytelling for business can help you create a greater connection with your audience, it can allow your audience to relate to your story and possibly even see themselves in it at times, and when you do things like share your vulnerabilities it gives people a higher level of trust. Ultimately, it helps “humanize” the sales process. We are so inundated with marketing messages these days,that a genuine, sincere story often stands out among “feature and benefit” sales copy. So what types of stories are best? One of the oldest and most impactful stories, which you’ve seen used in movies thousands of times is the “hero’s journey”. Think back in your life to a time you had to overcome a challenge, and you rose to the occasion, push through, and you won. You probably have dozens of instances like that if you were to stop and think about it. Each of those individual stories is a separate “journey” you could tap into for a story when appropriate. Chances are, you have something compelling, something that other people can relate to and be inspired by. As you watch this episode, your challenge is to frame out your story and put the pieces together of what you’ve actually gone through that can help others. Your story could help hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions… Get some great storytelling tips from this episode?

86: The Art and Power of Storytelling for Business

Looking to find out how to create a virtual summit? Well, look no further! This episode is all about how to create a virtual summit, why you would want to, and the benefits of a virtual summit for you and your clients! First, what is a virtual summit? A virtual summit is typically comprised of anywhere from 10-25 speakers, usually from within the same niche or theme such as health and wellness, business, or perhaps they may all be successful entrepreneurs, etc.. Each speaker normally has their own individual speaking session where they are sharing tips, ideas, insights, and their story. Then, all of the separate sessions are bundled up and delivered virtually! The benefit for the organizer of the summit is not only delivering great content and strategy to the people who watch or listen to the sessions, but it positions you as a leader in your niche and helps foster relationships with the other key influencers you featured on the summit! Most summits are monetized by charging for access to the interviews. However, in our case, with the Life on Fire Virtual Summit, we are giving the interviews away for FREE! We are, instead, giving people the opportunity to purchase a bundle of training programs worth thousands of dollars and make a donation to an organization called Pencils of Promise for just $97! One common question is, how do you get all of the speakers to want to be a part of your summit? There are a few different ways you can do this. 1. You can allow the speakers to offer something for sale, or a free giveaway on their session. That provides the opportunity for the speakers to get direct exposure from your summit promotion. 2. You can first secure an “anchor” speaker, which is someone of high influence in your niche, and allow that person to sell on your summit. Many times, if you have the right anchor speaker, once the other speakers find out that person is on board they will automatically want to be a part of it. Start mapping out your summit today! And, even if you think you’re not quite ready for a summit yet, check out LifeOnFireVirtualSummit.com to see a live example of our virtual summit!

85: How a Virtual Summit Can Build Your List and Skyrocket Your Name in Your Niche

What is “earned media”? Put simply, earned media is word of mouth marketing. And, if done right, it can be one of the fastest, easiest ways to grow your business. As humans, we still trust the feedback and recommendations from people we know more than any other source of media. So, why not leverage earned media in your business? When a business gets a 5-start review on, say, Yelp, for example, that’s great! But, the problem is, the only people who see that review are people actually on Yelp. What can make that Yelp review substantially more powerful is if you have that person share their review out to other people they know through Facebook, Twitter, etc.. Think about your business. Is there a point at which your clients are most excited or a “peak” state? Perhaps you sell cars for a living. Right when that person gets the keys and they are ready to drive off, they are at a peak state. That is the best point at which to earn word of mouth media. For example, you could take a picture of them with their new car, post it to Facebook and write how nice it was to work with that person, provide your contact information if they ever need anything, and tag them. That is a perfect way to not only reinforce their happiness with their purchase, but you also have the ability for your name to be shared to others they know. Test this idea for the next 30 days in your business and let us know what your results are! Getting great ideas and inspiration from Life on Fire TV?

84: Earned Media - What is it and How Can You Get it?

One of the best ways to recognized a large amount of revenue all at once is through having a live a event. Here are some steps you can take toward planning events for your business! You can start off small if you’ve never done an event before and organize a 1-day event or even just a partial day event. From there, you can move up to eventually having large 3-day events. The benefit of a live event is the personal interaction and the connection you’re able to make with your attendees. Typically your highest likelihood for making a sale is when you’re in a one-on-one, face-to-face environment. However, the next best thing to that is a one-to-many, face-to-face environment (i.e. a live event)! Some of the concerns that can naturally pop up when planning an event may be: What if nobody shows up? What am I going to talk about? How am I going to pay for it all? What if nobody buys? The first thing to do if any of those “fear-based” thoughts pop up is to realize that they are an indication that you are about to have a growth moment. Don’t run away from them. Embrace them and go toward them. An important step that can help all of that is to hire an event planning company. A good event planning company should be able to pay for their fee just from the benefit they provide in the contract negotiation. You want to approach the planning from the perspective of, “What is it that I want my attendees to experience and get out of this event?” Once you know your end attendee goal or your value proposition you can then frame out the steps of what you need to go through with your attendees to get them there. Believe it or not, once you factor in breaks, transition times, etc., the amount of time you have to actually speak is a lot less that you think. The key is to give incredible value. Don’t hold anything back. Give you best stuff, your most beneficial information and strategies. Not only does this create a great experience for your attendees, but it makes it substantially easier to generate sales from your event. A massively important aspect of the planning process is how you’re going to fill the room. Definitely tap into your existing network for that. If you don’t have an existing network, then perhaps you can partner with other groups or influencers in your area. The planning process is essentially the same, only bigger, with more opportunity to add value and create a unique and powerful experience, when you move from a 1-day event to a 3-day event. We’ve been preparing to have our first 3-day event for over a year now and it’s finally time. It’s HERE! It’s called Ignite and it’s happening in Sunny San Diego on December 5th, 6th, and 7th, 2014! If you’re looking to go from being a 6-figure entrepreneur to a 7-figure entrepreneur, this event is for you. The tickets are $1,000. However, if you are one of the first people to take fast action, we’re going to get you in for FREE. Just send an email to support@lifeonfire.com and we’ll follow up with you to get your seat reserved! It’s that simple! We can’t wait to see you there!
