Ok…two weeks ago, we covered the main reasons why you might not be getting all the referrals you should. Last week, we covered how to leverage your best ideas to 10-x your referrals right away.Today, you’re going to see how to exponentially grow your referral network, and the number of referrals you receive each month.Now, you might be thinking…”Exponential, I’d be happy with 10 more referrals a month if they were consistent.” And that’s great. But the single biggest barrier to raising your prices, to bigger profits, and to sleeping soundly at night is a lack of lead flow/opportunity.The process you’ll get in today’s episode will show you how to create a continually expanding network of enthusiastic referral partners, so that you always have more referrals than you need.Part 3 is live now…

The failure rate for small businesses is high—but it doesn’t have to be. My guest Geoffrey Kent believes the formula for success is out there…and in this episode, we’ll explore the 5 pillars of successful entrepreneurship. Geoffrey is a wealth of wisdom: a serial entrepreneur who has launched, scaled, and exited 20+ businesses in the last five decades. Now, he mentors entrepreneurs through the same process.

Every week, two or three business owners tell me they want to speak to get clients. They want to know how to unlock bigger and better stages…TED Talks or high-profile paid keynote opportunities. With thousands of people competing for the same speaking opportunities, what’s the key to getting in the door? A book. The National Speakers Association Hall of Fame has inducted 54 speakers since 2012…all but one has written a book. When you’ve written a book, stages, podcasts, even high-paid speaking opportunities open up for you. In this episode, I’ll unpack why writing a book attracts speaking opportunities and share the 3 major benefits of having a book as a speaker.
