Welcome to Episode 58 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing
In episode 58 the topic is around the concept of using entrepreneurship to improve your life. I did this inadvertently as I was transitioning from working as a classroom teacher and in real estate as a broker and residential appraiser back in 2006.
It was during this period when I realized that I was at the “unconscious incompetence” level of entrepreneurship. I didn’t know what I didn’t know and this motivated me to do what I continue to describe as “changing myself from the inside out.
I love working “in” my business every day. This includes writing, marketing, creating, learning, and mentoring. But there are times when it is best for me to step away. This clears my mind and allows me to grow personally. We must always remember that we are in the process of becoming the person we wish to be. The ways I work “on” my business include…
- Reading books not having to do with my business. Right now I’m reading the revised and updated version of The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, and Long-Term Health by T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell II, as well as Malcolm Gladwell’s latest, The Bomber Mafia: A Dream, a Temptation, and the Longest Night of the Second World War. Reading in this way allows me to expand my mind and thinking so that I can see beyond the confines of marketing and other topics I know very well.
- Creative writing. I think of this as writing for pleasure. My writing practice has expanded significantly over the years, and in July of 2019 I started a third blog called Monday Morning Mellow in order to have a home on the internet in which to share these stories.
- Getting away from familiar surroundings. I began this early on in my entrepreneurial journey by going to a hotel located about an hour from my home for an overnight stay. This hotel was at the beach in Ventura, California and gave me a new perspective on my life and my business that became priceless to me over time.
- Unplugging completely. This was a tough one for me to embrace, but once I did I was able to see dramatic results in my outlook on life, level of creativity, and how I was able to navigate the waters of life and business. I highly recommend you do this for 24 hours each week for best results.
- Talking to people from other walks of life. I talk to strangers and this had made the difference in how I am able to interact with others and improve my life’s progress.

How you created a morning routine that works for you? A morning routine actually begins the evening before. Are you setting yourself up for success each day with a morning routine you have designed specifically for your situation and your goals? Here are some things to consider as you go about this process…
- Do you have obligations to others in your home, or outside of your home that will affect what you do each morning when you awake?
- What tasks and activities are best done in the morning, for your schedule, personality, and lifestyle?
- What can you do each morning that will make the remainder of your day happier and more productive?
- Is there something you encounter most mornings that derails your day? Do you have the power to change this in some way?

I have a new book with Ellen Finkelstein entitled Speakers! The Quick Public Speaking to Business Method: Turning Your Talk into an Ongoing Revenue Stream. Whether you are brand new to speaking or are a seasoned public speaker, this book will make a difference for you.
The first book I co-authored with Ellen is Authors!

I have just completed another new book titled Booster Rocket Launches: Helping Your Prospects to Find You Everywhere. I’m using my ongoing authorship as an example of why baby steps will never take you where you’d like to go in your life and business.
