Timestamped Show Notes:

05:45– One of the biggest hurdles I had to get over was the sound of my own voice. So I recorded myself giving presentations while driving my truck, in front of a mirror, etc. I did 52 weeks of recording driving to work and I made sure I did it every week, for a year straight. Not for content creation and not for anybody else. Yes, there was good content there and I would make sure I posted on YouTube, even before I went into the office.

12:30 – As a coach, in both the mindset life coaching part of my business and the fitness part of my business, it doesn’t matter what side of the spectrum you’re on, you got to listen to your client first.

43:30 – I work only with the lifestyle mindset coaching side of things, I don’t coach them in fitness. I coach them on their lives. We work through the victim mentality and impostor syndrome. Soft talking through the past experiences and the story work. These things take up space in us. We don’t realize they’re taking up space in us which means we can’t bring in new positive experiences. Because this something that is still holding on to us from the past, that we haven’t learned to express or let go of or deal with. It’s blocking us from moving forward. This happened to me, the reason I am more successful now than I was four years ago, is because four years ago, I had a block. I knew I had a block.

50:00 – I am often focused on the mindset coaching and lifestyle coaching which are my passions that I do outside of the gym. You have to be ready for those conversations. I had a local business that hired me and it was a six week program where I brought them through how to structure, how to plan, and they didn’t respond well to the one the week with what I had designed. They all bottled up got really closed off. It was a big time tough room. I felt it and you could feel that in the owner too. So I pivoted and I flipped the script.

01:17:30 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

That’s probably why I came out so happy today. It’s one of the things why I shut my mind off for an hour. I focused on whether I was not flat footed or was on my toes or rotating enough. Or like how I was striking or if I was connected to every movement I did. I was listening and learning and taking criticism. It was awesome.

That’s pretty cool and more people need to experience that. That feeling to just be centered and focused that hard on anything could be lifechanging, and it doesn’t have to be a athletic endeavor. It could be art, it could be music, or it could be the freeing experience like podcasting.

https://livethefuel.com/episodes/285-unfuck-your-business/
Book: The Buddha And The Badass by Vishen Lakhiani

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

05:00 – I got a couple of buddies of mine that just get shit done. I move hard and fast. These guys are like 10x. That’s one of the things I look forward to and look for when I’m interacting with people. Looking at people, asking what are they doing, how are they operating, how are they getting it done? And what can I steal from them and implement into my life so I can make some of that reality for me.

15:30 – It also helps improve the positivity that comes into your own world. We all have a choice as far as what we can input into our brains, right? We choose what we can read, we choose what we watch on TV, if we watch TV at all. One of the big shifts for me, was actually making the conscious decision to turn things off like the news. Turn things off like the news and all of a sudden, my mindset is better. I’m not a grumpy fuck all the time.

24:00 – I’m reading this book right now, The Buddha And The Badass by Vishen Lakhiani, this guy owns a really successful company called Mind Body.

32:45 – 100% So I did it backwards. And I was just in the gym and didn’t hear anything else. Right? Sometimes not the smartest dude in the room. So I was 283 pounds. Got to work on me was 75 hard work. By the time I wrapped it up and was done. I was like, 250 pounds in like, looking lean.

44:45 – I have two wellness doctors that I deal with, one’s a chiro and one’s an actual MD. The MD is like I don’t really give a shit what those of my colleagues here think in the US. He actually trained a lot in Europe and everything that he’s told me, Europe is 10 years advanced of where we are at with most things. So I got both of these guys doing a bunch of things and they’re both high performance, former athletes who have become doctors and are hard charging very successful entrepreneurs. They are not just in medical practices, but a lot of other ventures that they’ve gone on with. They understand the game, they understand how entrepreneurs move and operate.

58:30 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

Every one of our social media posts that we finish on that small steps forward daily, like literally, that’s how I live my life. You know, a lot of people want to go back to baseball, for instance, right? So do people want to come to the plate and they want to smash that home run? Or get the Grand Slam and knock it out of the park? In reality, it happens every so often, but not so much. I’d rather go there and hit base base hits, right, hit a ground ball, and get on base every time.

Any of the big wins that I’ve had in my life have been a very gradual build up of small wins over a long period of time that then transition over. So yeah, this whole theory of oh wow, he’s an overnight success. Yeah, 22 – 23 years of hard work to become an overnight success.

Empowerment and Forgiveness with Derek Stone

Scott Mulvaney — Tue, 06 Oct 2020 11:00:00 +0000

Today We Talk Empowerment To Help You, The Listener, Re-tool and Change Your Life:

After working to support his family as a struggling artist, Derek Stone chose to reevaluate his life and his way of thinking, and in three short years grew a small one-man show into a million-dollar company. This amazing transformation came about through a decision to forgive his father. Derek left

the path of blame and began traveling down a path of forgiveness which led him to start living his best life. He is now on a mission to help empower others to make the same transformation by helping them take charge of their own lives.

Quote: When you avoid conflict to keep the peace you start a war within. ~ Cheryl Richardson

For years Derek Stone had dreams of becoming a musician. This road didn’t lead him to success, however, it led him to Nashville, TN. Struggling to live as a starving artist with a family to feed, it was then he thought “there’s got to be a better way.” He went through an early life crisis, changing careers with the help of mentors and watching YouTube. He took his God-given talent of Creativity and transferred it from being something you hear to something that you can see. As it turned out, the construction industry was his road to success, the “better way” he had longed for. In three short years, he grew a small one-man show into a company with $1.2 million in gross revenue.

He credits his success to one decision as a senior in high school. He started looking back at his life to figure out what made him so different from his three siblings. The difference. . . he chose to forgive his dad and to take a different path than his parents. He blamed his dad for every bad thing he went through as a child: from being sexually abused and going hungry, to taking cold showers because the power got cut off. He was a bitter teenager and wanted a better life, so when the opportunity presented itself, he took it and chose forgiveness.

36 years since the beginning of his story and he is currently living his best life. He enjoys hunting, fishing, knife making, and hanging out with his family. He loves empowering people to re-tool and change their lives. He loves God, loves his family, and loves people.

Top 3 Hot Point Takeaways:

Understanding Resentment, Bitterness, and Anger.
Self-Realization on Family and Life Balance.
For whatever is your why choose to forgive.

Timestamped Show Notes:

00:30 – Introduction

10:45 – I would say the anger, which is derived from the bitterness, and once the anger matures, it becomes in bitterness, and then once those two mature, they become resentment.

20:45 – So we were at this conference and this dude, Dave Park, was talking about bitterness versus forgiveness. He said, some of you need to forgive a parent or a sibling or aunt or uncle or grandparent and my blood pressure started going and all of a sudden, all these memories started flooding back through my head, like a time-lapse video, and I started getting angry. Then this voice came to me man and said, Derek, I want to use you, but I can’t. Because you have this bitterness towards your dad.

31:00 – I had a conversation with my wife that was very, very humbling for me because my pride is always kind of my pride it always just like she really just doesn’t know. But she in fact did. I don’t know how she did. It’s like your parents when you’re a teenager, they always know you’re running around screwing around doing something. How do they know that?

42:00 – That is a valid point, you know, not to look down on it now. But I’m just saying, it wasn’t a necessity. I hated doing it. But I had to do what I had to do to get myself to a better place while I retooled, you know that’s what was going on. Then the moment I stopped, the unemployment went right into a job doing construction, grunt work stuff, and bad stuff.

50:00 – I guess where we are is where we are in life. You know, people do that look at us and say some of those things sometimes. I missed the whole first year and my first month of my second child’s life.

59:00 – Final Words Shown Below…

Our Final Words of the Show:

My wife wrote the last sentence in the book and it says “for whatever is your why choose to forgive.” I think that sometimes you have to search in your heart for your why, what it is that you do, or maybe it’s the why that you don’t want to pass on something to your kids, or you don’t want to pass stuff through to your wife. The people you love the most are next, they are the ones that are going to be hurt the most by your bitterness and your resentment. Yeah, for whatever is your why choose to forgive.

269: Fitness Entrepreneur Lifestyle, PANS & PANDAS

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 03 May 2019 13:00:00 +0000

Father, Husband, Entrepreneur, Coach, and Author. Welcome, Pat Rigsby:

I guess if I were going to sum it up in 5 words, those would be the five. But I’m going to share a little more in hopes that my journey can be of a little help to you in your own.

I’m a 46-year-old guy that has built his share of successes from the ground up…and more importantly, have a beautiful wife, two incredible boys and a business that allows me to spend most of my time with them along with family and friends.

Quote:

If you do what you said you were going to do each day, then you will get what you said you were going to get.

In the past decade, I’ve built over a dozen businesses as a CEO and Co-Owner, with five becoming million dollar or multi-million dollar ventures. Two of those businesses, Athletic Revolution and Fitness Revolution, have been multiple time winners on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 with each being the #1 franchise for its respective market. Another business, Fitness Consulting Group, was a multiple time honoree on the Inc. 5000, placing as high as #580 on the list of fastest growing businesses in the U.S. I’ve also been a Best-Selling Author 6 times over, presented in front of thousands of entrepreneurs and been featured in Entrepreneur, Men’s Health, USA Today and on hundreds of other media outlets.

“When it comes to sales, I’ve personally sold as many as 116 franchises in a single year and been the strategist and copywriter for over 10 million dollars in online sales from my own businesses and millions more in sales for my clients.”

In the fitness industry alone, my coaching & consulting clients have been featured in places like Men’s Health, USA Today, Men’s Fitness, Shape, Women’s Health, Huffington Post and on ABC, CBS, NBC and pretty much any other media outlet you can think of. They’ve built some of the most successful businesses and brands in every corner of the industry. Everything from local business and supplement companies to online businesses, certification organizations. They even became best-selling authors. In fact, many (if not most) of the experts providing business coaching in the fitness industry have been my clients, customers or franchisees.

And the best part of this? I’ve been able to do all of these things and more while working from home, coaching my kids in baseball and soccer and enjoying a type of entrepreneurial lifestyle I would have never thought possible just a few short years ago.

Top 3 Hot Points:

Entrepreneurial Teams
Lifestyle Balance
PANS & PANDAS Awareness

[spp-tweet tweet=”You Too Can LIVETHEFUEL! @livethefuel “]

Final Words:

If you’re in the entrepreneurial world or even if you’re just somebody who wants to be a high achiever in your career, listen in. Professional and personal success aren’t mutually exclusive things you can have them both but you’re probably not going to have them both by accident. You need to plan and you need to make sure that you are moving towards those goals each and every day. If you do that, you can be pretty amazed about what you can accomplish.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] It’s great now with social media because we get such quick feedback. When I started in the business world, you were going to do more direct mail for marketing. Spending a lot of money and waiting for a pretty significant amount of time for feedback.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] It allows them to stay pretty close to what they consider their wheelhouse and still do what they need to do, from a business standpoint. They have the type of business that they set out to have when they started in the first place.
[spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] It’s not only your time, but it’s your fulfillment from what you’re doing. Getting caught up having to be the guy doing all the podcast editing and all the other stuff, and then all of a sudden the podcast gets to be a lot less fun for the host. I’m just a big believer in doing the things that are not only my best financial ROI but also the best fulfillment of me spending my team too.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Alex’s PANS. Alex has kind of a milder, case. I look at the infectious triggers that are so common. It’s really scary because it’s often misdiagnosed.
[spp-timestamp time=”51:00″] This is kind of a two-fold challenge. I think a lot of autoimmune conditions kind of operate this way. But I wouldn’t profess to be an expert on any of it. We’ve got to kind of put out the fire. You have to get his immune system to calm back down. Then it just gets back to prevention. Good gut health is crucial. Just making sure that the body is operating the way it’s supposed to. It’s not just always having to deal with the ramifications of sugars or grains but also a lot of the processed stuff.

266: Goat Rancher to Duodenal Switch to Marketing Entrepreneur

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 19 Apr 2019 13:00:00 +0000

Today’s Lifestyle Podcast is with Michael Giannulis, a Goat Rancher, Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Participant, Duodenal Switch Surgery Recipient, Turned Marketing Entrepreneur.

Michael Giannulis (Gee-uh-NEW-liss – kind of like “Gee, a new list” because after all, he’s in marketing!) has overcome the odds and loves to share that story to inspire others. Mike especially thrives on connecting with entrepreneurs to motivate them to “do big things” in the world.

Quote: Life rewards those who take action, not those who take notes. – Michael Giannulis

Mike’s story begins in an average family where he had to work for everything he had. He started “at the bottom” and worked his way into the American Dream. In fact, Mike dropped out of high school, went back to get his degree and even went to college… ending up on a popular reality TV show. As a guy who started his working life stocking shelves on the overnight shift at a giant retailer, Mike has seen the spectrum.

FUEL FANS: onlyonemike.com/livethefuel

Now Mike grows and scales companies, using real-world experience to make this happen. His most recent company is on track to do $40 million in gross revenues. He is a serial entrepreneur who develops systems to help other entrepreneurs run multiple companies without having to be there.

In 2012 Mike appeared on the ABC television show Extreme Weight Loss, losing 255 pounds. He has overcome a stutter. He has gone from the bottom of the corporate ladder to the top of the mountain… and he loves helping others do the same.

Top 3 Hot Points:

Healthy Lifestyle Choices
Extreme Weight Loss Gained Back
Success Is Not A Straight Line

Duodenal Switch writeup from The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) – https://asmbs.org/patients/bariatric-surgery-procedures#bpd

Final Words:

If there’s anything that I’m proof of, its that success is not a straight line. There are ups and downs, zigzags and turnarounds. Everything is a continuation of where you came from, and where you’re trying to go. So I would say for people that are out there, whether it’s your business or your health, or whatever it is you’re trying to focus on, just know that it’s going to be a process.

I believe in that a lot, just look for feedback. The funny thing about feedback that I tell people all the time is that feedback usually comes in the form of a problem, a complaint or an issue. That’s how feedback comes to us.

Influencers Mentioned:

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”05:00″] We bought 500 dairy goats. Not only that, they were all pregnant. They were all set to have kids and in about the same month!
[spp-timestamp time=”10:30″] There’s always someone else that comes up to me after and says, just so you know, you were not a goat farmer, you were a goat rancher. Farmers deal with crops and ranchers deal with animals.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] Well, I don’t want to go out and eat chicken and broccoli, I could do that at home for four bucks. So then you are like, well, I want to get the chicken marsala. I mean, you want to get like the fancy thing. That’s my problem, I controlled it to an extent. I gained back all of the weight after the show ended.
[spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] I connect with people that are very big, like 100 plus pounds overweight. There’s not a lot of people that have been there and gone through that. I tell people you’re not going to do this by waking up at 5 am on a random Monday. Then try to run three miles, hitting the gym and drinking your egg protein shake. The human body can’t make that much of a leap. The bridge has to be very small so you will be able to walk it. After all, I lost 255 pounds and that was over 12 months.
[spp-timestamp time=”39:40″] I really want to make sure that I’m around for a long time for my future kids. Being fat from the age of four means that I never made a conscious choice to be overweight. My mom and my family cared for me a lot. My mom worked all of the time so she was never home. She was a single mom so I grew up with my grandparents. My grandma was from Alabama and she stated that we fry everything. Everything was just fried, fried, fried.
[spp-timestamp time=”46:00″] I think even now, being a business owner, I’ve gotten to the point where I like the business behind business. I’m getting better at creating ideas and putting together teams to build those ideas into reality. I’ve enjoyed that a lot more than the operational side. I enjoy solving problems.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”02:12″] Talk about surrounding yourself with powerful influencers.
[spp-timestamp time=”04:08″] So that’s a pain in the butt.
[spp-timestamp time=”07:30″] We have several personas throughout our journey, and we realized your name doesn’t change.
[spp-timestamp time=”09:17″] You have a new journal coming out soon.
[spp-timestamp time=”10:20″] I feel like so many of us know what to do. But we don’t create the space to actually do it. That’s a psychologist in me.
[spp-timestamp time=”17:33″] We gotta pause on that. Yeah, there’s always a way to figure it out, that’s a mindset piece, not everybody hearing this has that yet.
[spp-timestamp time=”18:40″] I had to put it in my calendar, I had to rearrange my priorities. I had to put it in so it had a slot and and then I would do it because I knew once I had a plan I would execute.
[spp-timestamp time=”22:31″] What I love about the network marketing world, too, is that it could really just be 15 minutes or an hour a day. It doesn’t have to be 12 hours a day. It really is just intentional time because they say a 1% shift will take you in a completely new direction and a half an hour a day, 15 minutes a day.
[spp-timestamp time=”25:30″] So the particular activating system is a part of your brain, that’s basically like your filter. We hear and we consume like 70,000 things throughout the day. Well, our brain can’t handle all of that. So there’s a filter that decides what’s most important to you.
[spp-timestamp time=”27:21″] My mindset was different than where I am today. So things are seen and looked at differently. I do understand manifestation in a more scientific way. So I’m intrigued to see how you would respond to that.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:54″] I mean, even the Bible talks about the power of the tongue and taking your thoughts captive. There’s a lot of things that I’m like, oh, I learned about this in church the whole time. I just never realized it was the same thing.
[spp-timestamp time=”32:12″] You created space in your life and you physically made a space to have a prayer closet.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:53″] Denise’s seven domains. When I studied psychology, we called them the six or seven domains of life. So I’m intrigued to see how you’re going to label these out.
[spp-timestamp time=”42:24″] I think a lot of times people will tell me that they’re striving for balance. You’re going to flow in and out.
[spp-timestamp time=”44:47″] The bodybuilding competition. I’ve always worked out and I’ve been interested in that. I feel like that really taught me how to eat because before, I was eating out. So that taught me how to cook nutritious food, eat whole foods and in moderation, still have my treat every once in a while. The habits are so strong now that it’s not hard. I’m still drinking like a gallon of water a day.
[spp-timestamp time=”46:58″] You have your dream life goal, you have affirmations, visualizations connected to that goal, because it goes from our head to our heart. We’re not just going to say it but we need to believe it. Then we go into our action items. The dream life action items. What can I do for this goal today, then I added dream relationship action and dream health action.
[spp-timestamp time=”53:10″] A 1% change will take you somewhere completely different.
[spp-timestamp time=”54:00″] Final Words

I love where I am, AND I know where I am going. – Quote

049: Saving Gyms Profit First with Shannon Simmons

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 13 Feb 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Profit First for Gyms and Fitness

This episode is a referral from Mike Michalowicz author of the Profit First book refers us one of his earlier adopters of the system. Shannon Simmons is one of the earliest Profit First Professionals and is here to help save gyms, fitness professionals and more.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”01:54″] How Shannon stumbled across helping Gym and Fitness centers with their accounting as a niche.
[spp-timestamp time=”04:27″] How Shannon made the transition into this niche.
[spp-timestamp time=”06:31″] Shannon was one of the first members of the P.F. Professionals. She had been doing Virtual Bookkeeping for ten years before the book came out. There were so many Entrepreneurs she wanted to help but with all the accounting jargon she knew Entrepreneurs would not relate. That is the biggest thing she likes about the system, is it was written by an Entrepreneur for an Entrepreneur, so they can relate.
[spp-timestamp time=”09:03″] You have to face reality and know where your business is, compared to where a healthy business is.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:24″] Mike recommends having at least five basic accounts, Shannon has identified three others for the fitness industry. This system works for personal life as well. Shannon uses an example of someone repaying $100,000 of debt off in 18 months by using this in their personal life.
[spp-timestamp time=”16:26″] Shannon recommends all Gym owners have an Equipment Account, even if you allocate a small amount to that account each month, it will compound by the end of the year so it can be used on new equipment.
[spp-timestamp time=”21:16″] This system is a proactive way to look at your finances.
[spp-timestamp time=”28:28″] Shannon recommends you should focus on creating the five accounts right from the beginning
[spp-timestamp time=”31:44″] There are three extra accounts Shannon has found that the fitness industry should have, one of them is the Equipment/Capital Expenses Account,
[spp-timestamp time=”33:06″] The point of Profit First is to get people to finally enjoy running their businesses, even if they are only paying themselves 2% profit, you are paying that right away. You don’t distribute your profits from the profit account until the end of each quarter. Profit First Professionals call it the “Quarterly Profit Distribution”.
[spp-timestamp time=”35:25″] You don’t take money from your Profit account and put it back into your business. Your profit is there for you to enjoy your hard work, even if it is only 1-2%, especially for gyms!
[spp-timestamp time=”37:26″] The more money we have, the more money we spend.
[spp-timestamp time=”39:37″] There are people out there that have a decent handle on their finances but are missing the enjoyment piece. Living with the income instead of living ahead of the income.
[spp-timestamp time=”44:00″] Who is your best employee? The answer is YOU! You have to compensate yourself.

028: THRIVE, Fish Out of Water & Social Media Makeover

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 02 Dec 2016 17:50:00 +0000

Fish Out of Water Co-Host:

Our Fish Out of Water co-host today is a Best-selling Author, Keynote Speaker, Social Media Entrepreneur and contributor to multiple online blogs. Finding your, ‘Why’ is not enough. Sometimes you need that something extra to push you over the edge. You have to keep fueling the fire to keep it alive. You don’t want to get ten years down the road and find the fire has been extinguished. Proving the impossible is possible is this episodes co-host.

At the beginning of 2015, he quit his corporate job, moved to California and began to reinvent himself. He wondered what life would be like in ten years if he didn’t fuel the fire of entrepreneurship inside of him. Not liking what he saw, Calvin Wayman pursued self-development and attended the “THRIVE: Make Money Matter” event in 2015. This changed his life forever. He has achieved quite a lot in the past year reinventing himself. He is now the founder & CEO at CobbesMedia, Author of Fish Out of Water, Writer at Social Media Examiner, The Huffington Post and at Entrepreneur Magazine. Reinvention never stops.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”02:01″] Calvin quit his job in early 2015 and attended Thrive later that year. Thrive gave Calvin a massive boost. He was finally around people like himself.
[spp-timestamp time=”03:50″] Calvin met somebody at Thrive who told him how to write for Entrepreneur Magazine. At the time of the Thrive event in 2015 the only thing he felt he had to offer was his knowledge on the live platform Periscope. He bagged his first client at the event, Tai Lopez who decided to buy his course.
[spp-timestamp time=”04:45″] The guy he met about Entrepreneur magazine was called Jeff Woods,
[spp-timestamp time=”05:44″] The first article he submitted to Entrepreneur Mag was about Periscope and it was rejected. After that Calvin thought, editors don’t want to read the whole article, they don’t have time to. So he decided to create an article pitch of the just the title and four super simple bullet points. Instead of just sending one, he sent three at once so they could pick which one they wanted.
[spp-timestamp time=”07:44″] Because he had already written for Entrepreneur Magazine Calvin found it easy to get into Huffington Post. He emailed them linking to his articles.
[spp-timestamp time=”08:28″] Social Media Examiner was the tough one to write for. They have a very strict entrance process. You have to send in three articles from three other places you have written for. It has to be around the topic you want to write about.
[spp-timestamp time=”09:28″] Calvin is from Utah. To shake up the norm he quit his day job and moved to Southern California and started to sell solar energy door to door, to shake off any feeling of being an employee that he might of developed. A mentor told him if you can do four months of Door to Door you probably can do pretty much anything.
[spp-timestamp time=”11:38″] Door to Door sales for him was one of the most gut wrenching, anxious, depressive things he has ever done in his entire life but he would not change it for anything because it taught him so much.
[spp-timestamp time=”12:38″] The Quarter Life Crisis. Calvin projected himself ten years into the future and thought, what if nothing has changed? And it scared him. He had this flame inside of him to go create something. But what if that flame inside of him dies, the wants and desires to be an entrepreneur dies.
[spp-timestamp time=”16:36″] What can you do to keep fueling the fire? Do you. Do what makes you happy. But never regret. You only regret the things you don’t do.
[spp-timestamp time=”18:58″] At this turning point, Calvin was married, had a one year old son and had $33k in debt.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:04″] Advice to the younger generations
[spp-timestamp time=”27:48″] Selling Eggs as kids
[spp-timestamp time=”29:44″] You can’t beat learning hard work
[spp-timestamp time=”32:40″] We are giving different directions in life, it is easier to choose the easier path.
[spp-timestamp time=”33:48″] The Fish Out Of Water. Finding your ‘Why’ isn’t enough. There isn’t a shortage of Goal’s being set, they is however a shortage of Goal’s being met. Creating a new normal
[spp-timestamp time=”39:51″] Running a Ultra Marathon and Taking imperfect action.
[spp-timestamp time=”42:31″] Getting schooled. Using the Fish metaphor. Getting around other people swimming in the same direction.
[spp-timestamp time=”46:02″] Hit a wall at the 26 mile mark
[spp-timestamp time=”54:49″] No permission needed.
[spp-timestamp time=”57:21″] Embrace the road blocks
[spp-timestamp time=”58:58″] Events have been one of the biggest hacks for him in the past year.
[spp-timestamp time=”01:03:31″] We all have to start somewhere. We all have our own circles of influence
[spp-timestamp time=”01:06:27″] Calvin’s event in San Diego December 10th and 11th
[spp-timestamp time=”01:06:54″] Take action and start building a following. You have to put in the reps to hone the message and services you provide. You need to be taking action but also you need to be patient with yourself as well.
[spp-timestamp time=”01:12:18 “] Feel grateful of the successes you aspire to be.
[spp-timestamp time=”01:13:08″] Caleb Maddox was the trigger for Calvin to start writing his book. Caleb wrote his first book when he was twelve.

Final Words

You have got to realize you can create Roger Banister effects in all areas of your life.

Roger Bannister in 1954 was the first guy to run a four minute mile. For decades people tried to run a four minute mile but ultimately failed. It became well accepted that no human being could ever run a four minute mile. But then one person, Roger Banister did it. He made the impossible possible. The interesting part is, how long did his record breaking four minute mile last? Logic would say this could not be repeated. It took 46 days for it to be broken.

Once people see that it is possible, and that it can be done they can believe they can do it for themselves.

Done is better than perfect. Just do something.

This is definitely the philosophy of this episodes co-host. At the age of seventeen, he made $30,000 in one summer selling knives as a distributor for Cutco. After graduation, he knew he did not want to get a job. After re-engineering his success he made the conscious decision to help others. This lead to the conception of SuccessForScholars.com. Today’s co-host is Julian Bradley.

“Generally speaking, investing in yourself is the best thing you can do. Anything that improves your own talents; nobody can tax it or take it away from you. They can run up huge deficits, and the dollar can become worth far less. You can have all kinds of things happen. But if you’ve got talent yourself, and you’ve maximized your talent, you’ve got a tremendous asset that can return ten-fold.” Warren Buffet

003: Rock Out Strong Marketing with Chris Mulvaney

Scott Mulvaney — Sun, 04 Sep 2016 19:00:00 +0000

All right Ladies and Gents, welcome to our third episode of the LIVETHEFUEL show. Part of my goal is for us to be truthful and transparency while we balance health, business, and lifestyle. Please note that a couple of F-Bomb explicit’s do appear during this episode. I’m doing my best to keep this clean, but will not edit out real life passion that arises. So today my co-host is the man, the myth, the strong legend himself, Chris Mulvaney.

This is a great insightful conversation, packed with great ideas you can translate into your life to FUEL your internal fire on fitness, rock and roll, and/or marketing. So tune in and enjoy your dose of LIVETHEFUEL today.

Todays Strong Co-host

Chris Mulvaney is a strong business developer, community activist, entrepreneur, and an award-winning creative marketing strategist. He also studied music at Monmouth University and has rocked out in some big band life along the way. More importantly he chooses balance through staying fit with CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting.

He is the founder and CEO of CMDS; a NJ-based marketing and design agency that provides integrated marketing strategies and tactics. CMDS has been around the integrated marketing block by helping businesses. They realize the power of the internet as a tool for building brands, engaging customers, and driving revenue. Some of the services that CMDS offers include Brand Strategy, Logo Design, Search Engine Marketing, Search Engine Optimization, Website Development, Social Media Marketing and Paid Search Marketing.

Chris is also the founder and CEO of Post Café; a company that helps individuals and businesses to build an ongoing conversation with their clients that extends beyond the sale. They post strategically written, on-trend content on various social media platforms. This content helps businesses stay top of mind for repeat business and qualified referrals.

Besides CMDS and Post Café, Chris is also the founder of ProTasker. This is a project management software that helps individuals and businesses that need to keep an eye on production, quality control, and your bottom line. This software was redeveloped in 2011 for distribution to the public and has had astonishing success.

His extensive professional background includes working with some of the world’s leading brands. Personally dedicated to helping clients refine their corporate vision and generate the kind of eye-popping, strong revenue that many companies dream about. Chris also serves on the boards for several local businesses and charities, lending a creative and strategic eye to marketing and operational best practices.

In this show, Chris reveals how he has managed to balance his health, business, and lifestyle.

In this episode you’ll hear

[01: 02] Everything you need to know about Chris Mulvaney. What he is doing and how we both came to know each other.

[03: 11] What does CMDS do. Who are the company’s clients?

[04: 15] When did CMDS start?

[10: 11] Working hours at CMDS is only four days a week. Is this a lifestyle goal?

[14: 35] We are personally and collectively accountable for results.

[10: 11] Does having a bigger foosball table trigger smaller productivity?

[15: 00] What is CMDS’s business lifestyle like?

[19: 00] The importance of networking

[21: 50] If you are not willing to take risks and risk the power of failure you are not going to learn.

And Much, Much More

I ran into Chris a few months ago now. We are both are in the CrossFit world, and he came up for an Olympic Weightlifting competition at our facility in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. At our first meeting he had only just started his focus on getting strong through weightlifting in the past 7 months. Chris is still into Olympic Weightlifting training six days a week. Lifting is like his hobby and stress release from all the other stuff that he is involved in from his businesses, to family, to the charity work and more.

Chris explains that CMDS is a creative marketing agency. The company’s clients range from a smaller $10 million dollar kind of entities up to a Fortune 500 company. He helps them establish a presence in their marketplace from helping them determine the voices for their brand. They’ll also help them define the vision of their company by building out the creative piece and the identity of that company.

Thanks to doubling their income success in 2015 they’ve achieved the Inc 5000 award! Inc. magazine ranked CMDS, a leading NJ full service marketing and web design agency. They are weighing in at number 1989 on its 35th annual Inc. 5000. This is an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy: America’s independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Dell, LinkedIn, Zillow and many others gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 5000.

Chris reveals that they work from Monday through Thursday from 8 to 6. So what does this mean? This is kind of cool because they are starting to see a few more companies that do that nowadays too. Smart CEO’s take on this supposedly risky expense by investing in ensuring their employees have better vacations and life balance. Chris is always trying to find ways to make his team strong and moree productive. This is the exact reason they officially have only four days required in the office.

Giving his employees three days off in a week; is it a lifestyle goal? He replies, a definite YES. Chris says that he is trying to figure out how his companies can attract and retain employees for life. He is looking for ways to keep employees happy. He says that clients can come and go over a few year period, but top talent employees are tough to find. So it’s important to build ways to retain their value.

We also discussed the importance of accountability. One thing you have to keep in mind is a quote I learned years ago: “We are personally and collectively accountable for our results.” It’s important to be personally responsible for what you’re doing but also think about it from a collective capacity for the greater good of the company.

Chris continued to reveal more about the strong CMDS business lifestyle. He says they’ve paid to have chiropractors on site in the past and they are planning to bring in a yoga instructor to give his teams more healthy options. This is a great practice to consider whether it be for the physical and/or the mental benefits. This will definitely FUEL their health, business and lifestyle success!

We talked about the importance of networking to ensure long term growth through connectivity. This goes for personal or professional network growth. You never know what’s going to happen down the road in your life or business for that matter. Keeping in mind that we truly are the product of the five people we spend the most time with. If you want to grow, you must be ready to increase your network and your circle of influence.

We also discussed the value of taking risks in whatever you do in life. If you are not willing to take risks, you are missing out on the powerful learning’s that come from failure. Failure leads to eventual succeed. You didn’t just start walking from child birth. Each of us crawled and failed at walking a few times along the way. Now who is the strong one?!

Finally, I have a small request:

Since this is my brand new show, I’ve got zero clout in the world right now. It takes a lot of work to bring something like this to fruition. Currently, my biggest asset is reviews and ratings on iTunes. When iTunes sees that this show is getting good reviews and ratings, it moves us up in importance to the “New & Noteworthy” section. A brand new show can get lots of traction from this!

So, if you wouldn’t mind, I will welcome positive reviews and ratings from you guys, love the 5 stars! Also, if you think it’s valuable; kindly share this page on Facebook or Twitter. It would mean a ton of gratitude to me as well.

If you want to be part of the growing community, please join the The FUEL Tank group on Facebook where we Fuel Your Health, Business and Lifestyle as a community.

Thanks so much, and I’m looking forward to hearing your comments about this show below.

Since this only our 2nd startup show, I decided to mix things up and go out live and in person. So no home studio for this episode, we’re mobile! We are live and onsite with Steve Boerner and David Gritz in their Hatch House Ventures, Bethlehem, PA location. So yes, not one, but two co-hosts for this episode. To my right and next to me is Steve Boerner and to his right is David Gritz.

We review different successful morning routines. Steve discusses his visual practice vs David discussing his spreadsheet style that clicks better with his own processes. You can’t just picture yourself in a Lamborghini and it just happens, you own one. This goal setting takes daily practice that builds to annual success. Steve highly recommends the physical documentation process of your goals.

Today’s Startup Co-Host(s)

David I met through what else, our love of networking professionally. David Gritz is an entrepreneur, real estate investor, public speaker, and marketing expert. He serves as the vice-President of Hatch House Ventures. David joined the company after leaving an influential corporate position in the IT space. In the past three years that he has worked for Hatch House Ventures, he has bought, sold, and rented out over 15 properties with revenues nearing $1M annually. His mandate is to search and acquire future Hatch House locations. He has also helped run a successful Kickstarter campaign for a high impact exercise mat called Perfect Burpee. That same Kickstarter project was how we first worked together. He wanted to run a fitness gala to promote his startup Kickstarter. I love the Kickstarter campaigns and I never thought I’d actually get involved in one. It just so happened that they had already run a gala event up in Boston and then they needed to run one here in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. Since then we’ve been helping each out through mutual projects, networking events, and even helping to further motivate me to launch this Podcast.

Steve Boerner serves as the President and founder of Hatch House Ventures. He founded the company in November 2014, taking him around seven months to plan and execute. Steve is a serial entrepreneur who knows how to get and sustain success. He left the corporate world in 2013 after working for four years at Fortune 500 company. He also runs a consulting company called Gen-Y Consultants, which focuses on helping individuals and businesses market to millennials. Steve also works as an Adjunct Professor of Practice at the Horn School of Entrepreneurship at the University of Delaware.

Steve Boerner and David Gritz together run this exciting startup support project known as Hatch House Ventures. Did you know you can actually live among other startups to grow your community, networking, and overall supportive surroundings to launch a more successful business. We are working together, hit it off right and working together to support and promote their startup community.

As you can see, these two gentlemen are truly committed to taking their Virtual Incubator Network nationwide. As usual, this is a great insightful conversation packed with content and great ideas you can translate into your life to FUEL your internal fire.

“We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with”, Jim Rohn

As someone who has been a serial entrepreneur, Steve Boerner is someone who is definitely trying to make a mark in this newer generation of startups. During our session, we moved from the morning routines right into the power of manifesting your future success.

You are truly the product of the five people you spend the most time with. Jim Rohn was a powerful mentor and this is just one of his famous quotes that we discussed.

The three of us get into some major differences between them that they’ve learned to use as a way to feed off of each others strengths vs weaknesses. Part of this lesson that we discuss also centers around how we all need to adapt to different learners. As professionals and even personally in our relationships we must recognize how people learn from us differently. A popular method to study is recognizing individuals differences with the VAK or Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Learning Styles.

Use social media to your advantage. Control how you exist online and in business by pushing your own controlled content out over your own social media channels. Make sure you exist in the right way. LinkedIn is a great professional platform for just that, whether you’re an individual professional, a small business, or a major company.

Currently Hatch House has a network of 4 locations that are startup accelerators and incubators, as they do overlap right now. They do admit that they seem their niche in the industry pushing them more towards the accelerator business model. Bethlehem’s flagship location is one of the few locations that has the live in component. Not all Hatch Houses support the community residential model. This Lehigh Valley based location receives applications from all over the world for people to come stay here and work here for 12 months. The network here helps provide resources for professional networking, funding sources, and more.

They’ve since scaled their model into a licensing model to partner with higher education institutions so that these larger institutions can plug into the Hatch House resources while plugging in a working startup support model to their own campus offerings.

Open your circle of influence with Hatch House. A different spin on networking and growing your international connections from within a safe community of like-minded professionals. “It’s the only thing, nothing exists without that”.

For our startup residents, we look at their businesses to help them with their numbers, planning for employee growth, helping coach them on better hiring practices. They encourage collision within the house and online virtually between their Hatch House communities.

If you’re doing this right, everyone should have the best practices, be building lists, the best books, the best podcasts, the best network connections to fall back on and more.

Next steps are entrepreneurship courses, new services for the University customers, and a new book coming soon! Final notes from Steve and David. David leaves us with one core word, which is “Discipline”. Applying discipline in business, refine things into a process, you’ll get a more predictable outcome. Health can be improved through discipline through nutrition, exercise and the lifestyle you build within your network. Steve leaves us with the value of building “Habits”. We’re programmed to build habits. Your startup work must involve creating bulletproof consistency without even thinking about it. But it takes daily commitment to ensuring those tasks and activities build into those successful habits.

001: Podcast Launch with Solopreneur Hour Michael O’Neal!

Scott Mulvaney — Sun, 04 Sep 2016 13:00:00 +0000

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening my great listeners joining us today from all around the world. I’m your host Scott Mulvaney, a fellow Solopreneur and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to my first ever episode of the LIVETHEFUEL Show, here to FUEL Your Health, Business and Lifestyle!

Today’s Solopreneur Co-Host

This is my first co-host and it is none other than the podcasting solopreneur master himself, Mr. Michael O’Neal. Many of you have heard his story. If not, catch up with him at http://solohour.com. His award winning podcast, The Solopreneur Hour, has been up for several years now with over 8 million downloads! It features lively conversations, bold advice and candid insights for proudly unemployable people who want to realize full prosperity and fulfillment.

Michael interviews guests and co-hosts with the best and brightest solopreneurs from all walks of life. In this episode, we will give just a recap of his background.

Born in Ohio, Michael spent 12 years there being raised in a Catholic family. As a kid, he participated in every sport known to mankind from swimming and gymnastics to skating and cycling. At age 12, he moved with his parents to a new community in the suburbs of Philadelphia. They were fed up with many problems in this state, something that forced them to relocate to Spring Hill, a little redneck town in Florida.

Michael has dedicated his life to acquire formal education. He studied music in one of the best colleges in Palm Beach, FL. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication from Temple University. Michael has also created and hosted several professional courses about internet marketing, web development and social media.

His journey to becoming a Solopreneur Master has not been as easy as you may think. He tried to do everything he could through 2008 but didn’t see much success in those life experiences. In 2009, Michael knew that he no longer wanted to trade a dollar for an hour, so he went looking for something else. That’s when he found the hidden treasures in network marketing and internet marketing. In August 2013, he started The Solopreneur Hour Podcast which aims to show the other unemployable people the correct path to business success on their terms.

In this episode you’ll hear:

[02: 45] Why I chose these three categories: Health, Business, and Lifestyle. And my plan for LIVETHEFUEL show.
[04: 14] Why live the fuel? How this show (LIVETHEFUEL) came to be.
[10: 10] All about my past lifestyle experiences, especially car racing, and the motivation that I got from them
[15: 00] How Michael got his start, leveraging his experience with the car racing, SCCA lifestyle, BMX skills, and marketing.
[25: 00] Great conversation about the lessons that we have learned from our past life experiences
[31: 03] If you are in pain or suffering, and you just keep going; that is not a healthy lifestyle.
[34: 20] Don’t let life overtake you.
[02: 45] Michael’s soon to be best-selling book about Job Security For The Unemployable.

And Much, Much More

Since this is my first show, I settled on Michael because he is my mentor. There were so many similarities that started overlapping with him which just made it easier for me to follow his feeds, content and click with him as a fellow Colorado resident to name one.

During our discussion, we talked a bit about how this show (LIVETHEFUEL) came to be, and the journey I’ve been on myself and my plans. The goal of this show is to FUEL people’s own internal fires. I chose those three categories: health, business, and lifestyle because I actually believe they all marry together quite nicely. People struggle in their businesses or working for other people’s businesses. They let their health and lifestyle fall to the wayside. So for this podcast, these are the three areas that I picked out from all of our primary life domains because I think they create a beautiful umbrella effect.

We talked about how Michael got his start, leveraging his experience with the car racing lifestyle, combined with some great lessons from marketing his podcast, The Solopreneur Hour, to the tasks he needs to do every day to be a successful solopreneur.

We then got into a great conversation about the lessons that we have learned from our past lifestyles. There are serious side effects of starting to do things to justify other things you want to spend or invest in your lifestyle. In fact, if there is any nugget to take from this show, this is the one.

Michael mentioned how instrumental the death of his parents has been in his life. He reflected a few times since then all the change he has gone through with the growth of the Solopreneur Hour show, growth of his business, coaching and mentorship stuff.

We also talked about acting and working in endurance mode. I think people let life overtake them and forget that they need time to complete many of life’s goals. If you are one of them, it’s time to click into that endurance mode and realize that you’re not going to win every single day at whatever you are doing whether it’s climbing, racing, running a business, marketing, etc. The biggest thing that I’ve taken out of all this experience so far is the endurance. Your body is capable of doing so much more. The brain controls everything. So if you’ve got a healthy mind, you’ll have a healthy body which directly impacts and helps you perform in business.

This is it. We are on our journey together. And I’m thrilled to be here with you.
