Integrated Entrepreneurship

Your body is your mind

Are you stiff anywhere,?

Any muscles that you haven't used in a while?

Most of us think it's all in our brain, and our bodies are secondary, not as important. Boy, are we wrong.

The body and mind are not separate. It's one organism. It's one whole.

We all know when we think something scary, our heart starts beating and we break out a sweat.

Likewise, when we experience something super physically pleasant, we start thinking and feeling better.

A couple of years back, I went to something sup…

The dream or the reality

This week we launched my new book, tentatively titled "So you want to launch a course...?"

It's been flying off the virtual shelves. It felt really great to get it out there.

I've wanted to get a book written and published for a while now, and this idea of selling a low-priced ebook that dovetails perfectly with Simplero is something that we've been wanting to do for a while now.

 It's easy to dream about all the things you want to do. All the things you could do.

Actually doing them is a lo…

You know this feeling?

Focus on one thing

Calvin, CEO of Simplero here with your weekly tip.

One of the things I'm learning these days is to sharpen the focus of everything we do at the company.

My tendency when I embark on new projects is to see how it all connects. How this one feature or piece of content or new initiative, when done right, can accomplish a lot of things all at once.

Take this book we're currently making. It's all about launching that damn course you've been wanting to launch, but haven't gotten around to because o…

What's your MVP?

Stephen and I sat down yesterday to talk with one of our (many) advisors when we both had that "drop" moment.

I won't go into too much detail, but it's about building out a paid traffic funnel, and we were on this multi-month roadmap to where we want to get to, which is a funnel where we sell information first, and Simplero second.

And during that call, suddenly we both saw how silly we were.

We were WAY overthinking this.

We're talking about creating a $7 ebook.

How quick can we do that?

Try Shit

I meet so many people that want to do things ... launch a course, start a business, run paid traffic, lose weight, find a life partner, and on and on...

And then they spend all of their time thinking about it.

Studying.

Learning about it.

They won't start actually doing anything until they KNOW it's going to work.

Thing is... nothing's like that.

You won't know if it's going to work until you've tried it.

We recently tried a new customer acquisition strategy.

Running paid traffic to a we…

Are You Too Making This Deadly Feedback Mistake?

Do you ever have trouble giving honest feedback when someone isn’t meeting your expectations or living up to their agreements?

I mean, we’re kind people, right?

We don’t want to hurt people’s feelings.

They might feel upset or sad.

So … we just ignore it. 

Hope that things get better on their own.

Hope they “get the message”.

Well … how’s that workin’ out for ya?

Not so well, is it?

The thing is that, yeah, it might sting a little. For about 10 seconds. Maybe a minute.

But not saying a…

Step back to move forwards

"It sounds like you're in a really great place, but you're maybe trying just a little too hard."

That's what a mentor told me.

It rang true.

A lot.

Does that ever happen for you?

It's an old habit of mine. And I guess old habits die hard.

So I decided to go on a little "spiritual retreat" this weekend.

All at home.

Didn't actually go anywhere ... physically.

But mentally, I went to a much deeper place.

Started asking myself some big questions.

Questions like ...

How it all started

I told you the story of how I found my life purpose: Integrating spirituality and entrepreneurship in my own life and teaching others to do the same.

Now, you may ask, why? What’s the point?

Great question.

Because it solves pretty much every challenge that we entrepreneurs face.

Challenges such as which direction to go in. What business to start, what values to base it on, what products to offer, what your unique selling proposition is going to be, what strategies to use to build your compa…

Why you haven't found your purpose yet

Do you know your purpose in life?

If not, why haven't you found it yet?

I'll tell you why.

Because you haven't looked.

I'm serious.

The truth is, it's not that hard.

But you have to want to know.

I told you about how after I found my purpose, I realized there were three very specific (and strange) fears that had held me back from finding my purpose.

I asked you to guess at what they were.

No-one got them right.

But fear not. I'll tell you now.

Irrational unconscious fear #1:

There wa…
