Growth to Freedom™ - Transform Your Life, Business, and Relationships with Clarity, Confidence, and Direction

The Growth to Freedom™ Show helps you transform your life in business and in relationships. It’s a fresh mix of strategy, resources, and entertainment that guides you to create the personal and business breakthroughs you need. Your success and freedom will only grow to the extent you do, and The Growth to Freedom™ Show will help you find clarity, confidence, and direction. Two weeks after my son was born in 2007, I found myself in a hospital for four days with a serious heart problem. The fact is, I had let my health go to the extent that my body gave out. It was a major wakeup call. That experience opened a new door of awareness for me. I came to realize that if I wanted something different, I needed to do something different. If I wanted something better, I needed to do it better. We’re living at one of the most exciting times in history and I believe you can have freedom on your terms. You can have it all, if you’re willing to take the necessary steps. It’s not easy. I’ve certainly made my share of mistakes and I want to help you avoid those on your own journey. This show was born as part of my process and was inspired by Joe Polish, Genius Network, and many mentors I’m fortunate to call friends. It doesn’t matter what your background is or where you’ve been: It only matters that you want to grow. Whatever your definition of success, I will challenge, guide, and connect you to some of the best leaders and experts in the world today. Now is your time - you deserve it! The catalyst for greatness is inside of you, and it starts now with Growth to Freedom!

Would you like to know what I’d build into my business model if I had to start all over?

That’s what a listener asked me in an email this past week.

It’s not very complicated. In fact, it’s really very simple. But you’ve got to take action and get it done if you want to be ready for the kind of growth you desire. On this episode I tell you the 3 things I’d build into my business model if I were starting all over. I also help you brainstorm the possibilities in each of those areas so you can get a clear picture of what I’m talking about.

There are 3 steps you need to take to put your business in a place where it can experience its greatest growth.

The first has to do with understanding yourself and your business. You’ve got to attain an absolute level of clarity about who you are and what you are providing. I call this “finding your magic.” It’s that special thing you do that clients or customers can’t get anyplace else.

The second step is a mindset shift. You’ve got to come to an acceptance of the fact that the marketing landscape has changed. Gone are the days of one well placed ad exploding your business. Instead, you’ve got to take a new approach to marketing, which I unpack for you on this episode.

Finally, you need to adjust your thinking about only focusing on profit and personal success and start thinking about the transformational experiences you can provide your customers or clients. When you learn what it is you do and how you do it in a unique and life changing way, you’ve got something people will beat down your door to get.

That’s it, 3 simple steps. But you’ve got to take action in order to see the growth that you want. Listen to this episode to find out how you can get my free resource package to help you get started.

 

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show:

  • Dan’s welcome to you and the introduction to today’s show; [0:33]
  • First, define your magic. Ask the question, “What do I do in my business better than anyone else?” [2:40]
  • What are the 3 things you deliver that clients can’t get anywhere else? [3:22]
  • Second, understand that traditional marketing is dead and what to do instead; [8:12]
  • Consider creating a content model; [10:31]
  • Third, focus on transformational experiences for your ideal client; [14:57]
  • Take action: get your special resource package today; [19:14]

Would you like to transform your biggest frustrations into your best opportunities?

You can. I know it’s possible because I am doing that very thing right now.

This past week I attended my quarterly session at Strategic Coach. Strategic Coach is an organization that helps me and many other entrepreneurs and business leaders sharpen our focus and stay on track to accomplish our goals. One of the tools the Strategic Coach team uses is called the Commitment Mindset Maximizer. It’s a simple tool that uses a few carefully worded questions to dig into the areas where you need to make changes.

But more importantly, it helps you put a strategy in place so you can actually make those changes.

On this episode I walk you through the basic questions the Strategic Coach team uses - because I want YOU to be able to turn your biggest frustrations into your greatest opportunities. I want you to increase your productivity and success in every area of your life.

It’s not easy but it’s simple, and today’s episode is going to give you a road map so that you can do it.

What would it be like if you could improve just 10% in each of these key areas: Mentally, Physically, Socially, Spiritually, Emotionally, Financially?

If you will set aside the time to work through the questions I highlight in this episode, you can chart the course to do it. Listen carefully as I unpack these ideas so that you not only understand what I’m talking about, but so that you can apply it directly to your situation.

Knowledge without application is empty, so take action on what you hear today.

If you do what I’m showing you, you’ll be able to identify the things that give you energy and increases your momentum.

You’ll be able to pinpoint what happens inside you when you experience that kind of energy.

You’re going to locate the things that you need to say, “No” to so that you can get them off your plate.

And you’ll be able to clearly see the obstacles that are holding you back and develop a strategy to turn those into opportunities.

This is one of the most practical episodes of Growth to Freedom yet, so roll up your sleeves, grab a pen and paper, and write down the action steps you need to take to turn your frustrations into opportunities.

 

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show:

  • Dan’s welcome to you and the introduction to today’s show; [0:32]
  • What Strategic Coach does for me; [2:13]
  • Getting out of those obligations that have no commitment to them; [3:06]
  • Why entrepreneurship is simply adding value; [4:29]
  • How the commitment mindset maximizer helps you get real about your frustrations and strains; [10:16]
  • What are the things that give you energy and momentum? [13:00]
  • What does it do for you to get charged up in those ways? [14:19]
  • Can you pick out the things you need to say “No” to? [15:16]
  • What are the obstacles that keep you from delegating; [17:47]
  • Put a strategy in place to overcome your obstacles; [18:20]
  • What are the biggest opportunities in your world? [19:08]
  • The special resource package you can get for free; [20:09]

What if I told you that there are 3 main areas that you could improve that would make your life a masterpiece?

You might say that I’m crazy, but you would be wrong. Craig Ballantyne has discovered 3 specific areas that every person can address that will make them better in every area. It’s true. The 3 words that define those areas are Control, Conquer, and Concentrate - and on this episode of Growth to Freedom Craig Ballantyne is going to unpack them for you.

As he does, look carefully at your own life - and be honest. Which of the rules that Craig shares is most difficult for you to swallow? Maybe that’s the area you need to target first. This episode is not meant to give you more content, it’s meant to help you make real change in your life. Take some time, listen, and take action with what you learn.

What keeps you from taking action on your number one priority in life?

Craig Ballantyne says that nothing has to keep you from accomplishing the most important things in your life. You can make it happen one small step at a time. The way he suggests you do it is by getting up 15 minutes earlier each morning so you can work on that one thing. Think about it. The house is quiet. Nobody to bother you. Your attention can be focused on that one thing.

And when you do that morning after morning, week after week, you begin to make progress. It’s a sure fire way to accomplish the most important thing in your life. And it’s simple.

That’s just one strategy for making your life a masterpiece that Craig Ballantyne shares on this episode of Growth to Freedom. Be sure you listen, but more importantly, be sure you take action on what you learn. You don’t need more content, you need more application.

What if I told you that you don’t have to endure lots of pain and hardship in order to get to the place you want to be? How would that change your attitude about today, tomorrow, and the weeks ahead?

On today’s show, I’m chatting with my friend Dr Cristy Lopez about the myth we’ve all been told, that you can’t get the things you really want in life unless you go through pain to get there. To be blunt: I don’t buy it.

Why do I have to wait to experience joy and happiness in life simply because I haven’t reached the pinnacle of success that I’m shooting for? And why does the climb to that pinnacle have to be done in pain? It doesn’t! …And on this episode Dr. Lopez and I are going to walk you through why that train of thought is a lie. We’ll introduce you to a 3 step framework (3 questions) that can help you identify the key components you need in order to live your best life now.

Who are you? What do you want? What do you stand for?

Those three questions form the foundation of the 3 part framework Dr. Lopez and I unpack on this episode. They are the questions Dr. Lopez confronted me with years ago that opened the door to me experiencing more joy and happiness regularly.

 

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn in this show:

  • Welcome you and the introduction to today’s show; [0:31]
  • Why this topic is so important; [1:23] Who is Dr. Cristy Lopez? [2:30]
  • What research shows about delayed gratification; [2:53]
  • The myth that pain has to precede gain; [5:00]
  • The problem with “mortgaging the pain?” [7:46]
  • What Dr. Lopez has discovered about “And VS Or”; [9:58]
  • The 3 step framework; [14:10]
  • Who am I? What do I want? What do I stand for? [17:40]
  • Discovering who you are; [25:50]
  • How to get in touch with Dr. Cristy Lopez; [32:30]
