Final Words:

If I have any parting messages for anyone to carry on from this theme of what we’ve been talking about is that every single thing that happens to you on the daily, within the minute, within the seconds, it’s unfolding the way that it is supposed to unfold. There’s no other way that you can look at it no matter what way you try and spin it. It is supposed to be the way that it is supposed to be. When you can become aware of that and actually sit with that and reflect on that, you’re going to move forward faster than you’ve ever moved forward before. It’s just hands down because there’s no other way to look at it.

I need to blow it up to create that massive amount of impact, and then keep the fire burning at a higher level. The intensity is key.
• [spp-timestamp time=”21:00″] I’m not looking for collateral damage, I’m looking at weighing up the scenarios. I’m a massive advocate and I push for this fast growth. I feel like number one, life’s too short, we should be doing things as fast as we possibly can. But fast doesn’t mean you need to go fast and loose. Doesn’t mean you go fast and loose and create a wake of destruction. I create just enough destruction behind me.

Improve Your Attention to Detail, Set Goals in the Forefront, Discussing StrengthsFinder, and More:

Chris Denny is a researcher, trainer, consultant, and business owner. When he is not running a business or spending time with his family, he is researching attention to detail or helping others become more detail-oriented.

Chris delivers training workshops and seminars for companies and government organizations and conducts one on one coaching for high-value employees. Attention To Detail training is available via online courses.

*Goals must be out on the forefront to target them. – Chris Denny

The seed of Attention To Detail Solutions started in 2010 when Chris had an employee who was technically strong and generally valuable, aside from his low attention to detail. After searching for a book or training and finding nothing that would help, Chris started to create something that could help. He had inadvertently found a passion and after 6 years of exhaustive research, hundreds of surveys, and dozens of interviews, Chris emerged with the Attention To Detail Training™ system.

Since 2008, Chris has owned a marketing agency that is now largely operated by a small staff who allow him to focus mainly on consulting, training, and research. His training and speaking style is personal and interactive with a great deal of open discussion to ensure participants are fully engaged and getting maximum value for the time they spend in Attention To Detail Training™ workshops and seminars.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. Contrastive
2. Analytical
3. Additive

*Goals must be out on the forefront to target them.

Final Words:

You always have to have the goal and it must be set out there. Whether it’s a place, a time, or an objective. The details are what take you there properly, efficiently, and successfully. I always like to make sure people understand that the two are not mutually exclusive in conversation or in reality correlation. You need one with the other in order to achieve it successfully. The big picture here is make sure you keep that in mind. However you do it, with whatever system you use, planners, whiteboards or whatever.

• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] That’s the point, that’s where some of the stress comes from, people worrying about the same things.
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] The other part of that is that it’s very systemized. That’s where contrast of attention to detail is why the big fast food chains can be run by 16 year olds. So you end up having these billion dollar organizations that are largely operated by kids.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] The whole theme behind StrengthsFinder is you could be spinning your wheels, trying to fix a weakness that you have, or you could channel most of your energy into the your natural strengths.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Typically, the person who I hear from is one of three people. It’s the talent development person, like the director of talent development. Second, it could be a VP level influencer. Third, it is a receptionist or an admin that is tasked with helping improve the company.

Final Words:

I’ll tell you what, the lesson that I would carry because I’m sure I have we have a lot of entrepreneurs listening, right. So and whether they’re that no matter what they’re trying to do in their life, or you’re trying to do in your life, I guarantee you 100% success, that you will reach everything that you want if you just don’t quit.

When my students come to me and say I need advice, I’m going to start a business, we sit down and we look at it like belts. In six months you can’t give up on this because you’re only a blue belt. What does your business goal look like when you’re a brown belt? What are we going to call a brown belt? What are we going to call a black belt? So I asked my people, where are you on your 10-year plan?

He works out about 10 hours a week in my school. Everybody thinks martial arts is for kids. However, two-thirds of my students are adults.
• [spp-timestamp time=”21:30″] Explain for the listeners who don’t know what a kata is. I’ll let the master here explain what it’s like. A prearranged sequence of moves that teach, it transmits the moves forward in time. So if I teach you the Kata, it will have all the moves of that system, the blocks, the kicks, the punches, the traps, the sweeps, all of those things.
• [spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] As we kept moving along, we have realized that the real problem here is not the video, it’s not getting results. Having traffic or your website’s terrible? We started expanding our services into all of these other areas. So we could serve the client because the video wasn’t the issue.
• [spp-timestamp time=”41:00″] That’s a really important day when I started saying that to people. Putting my big boy pants on and saying, that is not actually in our wheelhouse. We could do it. But it’s not what I want to do. Here’s somebody else who can do it far better than I can, so go there.

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:

1. Healthy Lifestyle Choices
2. Extreme Weight Loss Gained Back
3. 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.

• [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.

Today we discuss Work-Life Balance with the ATTCK Marketing man himself, Dennis Plucinik!

Dennis Plucinik, ATTCK’s founder, started his company with the goal of doing things right. He’d spent years in the digital advertising world, where work and personal life blend into one and “work hard, play hard together” means never leaving the office—and having colleagues for drinking buddies. He found himself wondering if a company with a different kind of work culture could succeed. An environment free from stressful deadlines, late nights, weekends, and the myriad other reasons why great people quit their jobs.

Quote: “If you like doing what you do, then you never work a day.”

Dennis wanted to create a workplace where tasks get done during work hours only, and where employees don’t feel guilty for leaving at 6 PM. ATTCK takes on the projects that Dennis and the ATTCK team feel are best suited for them—projects that bring in more than just money.

Top 3 Hot Points:

1. A new way of organizational structure.
2. Healthy lifestyle commitments and beating opioid addiction.
3. Work-Life Balance, like what you do.

[spp-tweet tweet=”How do you attack your own Work-Life balance?! ATTCK Your Marketing too! @DennisPlucinik “]

Final Words:

How are people approaching their life? What do they want to get out of it? What I’m trying to do is just to be happy with the decisions that I make. I think that’s an important set of principles to live by. So, you know, if you understand yourself, you understand things that make you happy, and what you really want out of it. For me, that’s surrounding myself with people who produce great work. I absolutely love what I do. I think that’s also very important to know.

It sometimes doesn’t feel like work, right? But that’s like the old cliche, it doesn’t feel like work. If you like doing what you do, then you never work a day. It’s not totally true, things get very difficult on hard days. If you find something that you’re absolutely passionate about, it’ll drive you through. It’ll carry you through those hard times. So find something that you love doing and be passionate about it. It’s not easy to do. It took me a long time to be able to do this.

It’s worth it in the end.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

• [spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
• [spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] It’s a very sort of flat organizational structure. So it’s meant to say a couple of things. Everybody here supports each other equally. When you’re focused on one person, the whole company is focused on that one person. It’s a little deep. That literally was the theory before we built this. I love it. It’s very creative!
• [spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] If I’m not sure about something or not confident I can carry it through, I won’t do it. I don’t gamble, I don’t play blackjack or anything else. I think I gambled with the surgery I had, I most likely didn’t need in the end. Turns out I didn’t need it. But I couldn’t gamble and did it anyway. I didn’t want this to come up 10 years later and say, oh we actually didn’t get everything and now you’re gonna die. I just didn’t want to gamble that. So that’s sort of my MO, I’ve got to be certain about what I’m doing.
• [spp-timestamp time=”29:30″] I had some pretty serious neuropathy, which is nerve damage to your extremities, incredibly painful. The only solution was a couple of solutions that are not really perfect. The long and short of it is that as a result of the surgery, I ended up getting very quick addicted to opioids like within two weeks. So I have a really close experience with that and it’s very scary. It was effective but it’s incredibly addictive. I can see how it’s such a huge epidemic because you can have easy access to that stuff.
• [spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] People who tie working success to the quantity of hours, I’m against it. There’s quality versus quantity. Right? We have very specific ways of tracking progress and development projects. We get really nerdy on this idea. We use a system to track basically hours efficiency and call it a Velocity of Tracks that Delta. What you estimated your time would take versus what it would actually take.

The best marketer wins every time.

A lot of the time we focus on delivery a great product or a great service, and that’s awesome! That’s a customer retention tool. Before we think about customer retention, we have to think about customer acquisition. People only know how good you are once they’ve bought from you. Before they have bought from you, they only know how good your marketing is.

So the best marketer wins, every time. Resolve to become a great marketer.

It is time for Davids To Become Goliaths with Artificial Intelligence for your marketing. Kate Bradley Chernis is the Founder & CEO of Lately, an AI-powered marketing dashboard:

Kate Bradley Chernis is the Founder & CEO of Lately, an AI-powered marketing dashboard that’s reinventing the marketing process to give individual marketers the power to create and scale smarter, more consistent messaging. With Lately, Davids become Goliaths with Artificial Intelligence.

As a former marketing agency owner, Kate, initially created the idea for Lately out of spreadsheets for then-client, Walmart. Well, not just Walmart. It was a partnership between Walmart, United Way Worldwide, National Disability Institute, and tens of thousands of local, small business and nonprofit affiliates who were all using her spreadsheet system – because they all had the same problems: a lack of coordination, widespread redundancies, no visibility and no organization. With Kate’s spreadsheet system, they achieved a 130%, three year, year-over-year ROI.

In fact, Kate found similar success with all of her clients, regardless of industry or company size. So, along with one heck of a superhero team, she created Lately to organize the mess, automate repetitive processes and eliminate the “overwhelming” feeling that every marketer she’d ever met had complained about.

Prior to founding Lately, Kate served 20 million listeners as Music Director and on-air host at Sirius/XM. She’s also an award-winning radio producer, engineer and voice talent with 25 years of national broadcast communications, brand-building, sales and marketing expertise.

You just may have pain and other things. It’s amazing how much your instincts really kick in, you know, it wakes you up in the middle of the night.

From Gambling Debt to a Video Marketing Success Co-Host:

Living in India was not an option anymore.

I had lost all my saving and had to borrow money from my parents because I lost in all in gambling. I wanted to take a shortcut and earn a quick buck because I was extremely disappointed with my job. This was rock bottom for me.

In spite of all this, I knew that I wanted to do my master’s degree abroad, see the world, experience a different culture, and possibly find a well-paying job again. This time, it was time to pay off my debts and start my life anew.

“You Have To Implement!” – Rohan Kale

So I took my “last gamble”, got an education loan and came to Germany to pursue MBA. A new country, new language, and new life. Initially, I struggled with everything but I realized that the only way to get around this was to be driven towards the goal I had set for myself. This put me from the surviving to a thriving mindset and I finished my MBA successfully.

I got a well-paying job in one of the best automotive companies in the world. Within 2 years I was successfully able to pay off all my debts and have a clean slate. Although during this time, I realized that a job will never make me happy and I loved having a personal connection with clients. The direct influence that my work had towards my clients was never visible. Being in big companies, this was never going to happen due to the organizational structure of corporations.

I, therefore, started looking into other options but this time, I wanted to be sure that whatever I do, it should be for the correct purpose. After taking a step back, I realized that cartoons and animations were something that I really loved right from my childhood.

During my research, I realized that video marketing has a huge ongoing demand and it’s not going to stop anytime soon. I went and learned video marketing and started the business alongside my primary job. Within 6 months, I was able to quit my job and help businesses tell their stories via animated videos and attracting customers via video marketing funnels.

Final Words:

Getting back to business… The ones who attend speaking events, hear the new teaching/principle/technique… then say, that may have worked for them but it wouldn’t work in our business… they are the ones that FAIL.

The ones that say, “is it possible that this applies to me”, are the ones that will succeed. If we go through life in that mindset, we will be dramatically more successful, we will be a sponge, and we are going to be fulfilled as well. We are going to be changing and evolving all the time, that’s a wonderful thing!

Marcus’ challenge to you, the listener, is to always go with that mindset that “Is It Possible That This Applies to Me” and he promises that great results will occur!

A human being and Dad to Spencer. Your latest co-host enjoys doing more of what makes him happy. He’s an award winning community creator from the United Kingdom.

2009 – 2011 was a transitional time for Chris. He was studying academically and non-academically, Chris started blogging and was fired up about the potential of social media and content marketing.

This is when he started to help small businesses in his spare time, cutting his teeth with social media and content for commercial enterprises. It makes sense now, looking back, that when he left his job to go to the university, that he decided to never work for anyone else, ever again.

“So, my story isn’t that dramatic – I didn’t quit my job to become an entrepreneur. I simply decided to not get a job after university.” – Chris Marr

CMA was registered in 2012 and Chris become a Director the day he graduated from the University of St. Andrews in June 2013.

“No one has ever asked me about my degree, and no one has ever asked me for my CV. This stuff doesn’t matter anymore.” – Chris Marr

Final Words

Nothing is forever. Nothing is permanent. If you make a job or career choice now, it doesn’t have to be the rest of your life. There are options out there. It’s not about what you are doing today its about what you want to do tomorrow and the choices you are making along the way.

You have the freedom to make a choice.

The post 014: Build Instagram with Asian Bodybuilder, The InstaGuy, Tony Huynh appeared first on LIVETHEFUEL.

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.

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.
