Personally, I believe there are so many people out there that just are not happy with their lives, so when I read a book that has the power to change that - I want to talk about it.

Quotes

“There is no way to happiness - happiness is the way.” Thich Nhat Hanh

"Your future growth and progress are now based in your understanding about the difference between the two ways in which you can measure yourself: against an ideal, which puts you in what I call the GAP,' and against your starting point, which puts you in 'the GAIN,' appreciating all that you've accomplished."

-DAN SULLIVAN

“Happiness is not something you pursue. Happiness is not somewhere in the future. Decades of scientific research is clear on this point: happiness is where you start, not where you finish.”

"Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you're proud to live."

-ANNE SWEENEY, AMERICAN BUSINESSWOMAN AND FORMER CO-CHAIR OF DISNEY MEDIA

"Comparison makes you unhappy, and there's no end to comparison in the world, if that's the path you choose."

“Comparison is the thief of joy.” - Theodore Roosevelt

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards."

-STEVE JOBS

"Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it. It's just easier if you do."

-BYRON KATIE

"With increased value comes greater meaning. The things that we value or appreciate the most also have the greatest mean-ing. Value and meaning in the world, then, are totally created by appreciation."

Stressed about Accomplishing Your 2023 Goals?

The problem most people have when setting goals is that they just come up with a bunch of things but don't actually have any time of plan or know-how for achieving them.

The Let's Grow Together Podcast had been discontinued, but I wanted to bring it back to talk about this topic so you can reduce the overwhelm of your new goals.

In this episode we break down the 5 most important things you can do this year to reduce the stress of achieving your goals this year.

What are the best referral sources? Whats the best strategy? These are common questions for home care businesses, however, on today's episode of Let's Grow Together Gregg Mazza breaks down what it truly takes to get results.

Gregg got into the home care business because he saw the struggles his mother went through trying to care for his elderly grandmother as she was aging.  In 2006, he started his entrepreneurial dream of owning a home care agency only to come face to face with the harsh realities of owning a 24-7 home care business.

After almost running out of cash in 2010, and recognizing that the way he was taught to sell was not working consistently enough in his business, Gregg went on a mission to change.  He invested heavily in himself learning from people way smarter than him.  Over the next 12 months, he was able to turn things around by increasing revenue over $1M in 12 months and going from the brink of disaster, to creating a home care agency with over 150 caregivers and the business eventually running mostly without he and his partner.

For those of you that care about credentials.  Gregg has an MBA from the University of South Florida, over 22 years of sales and sales management experience in predominately service based industries including recruiting.  He and his partner owned their home care agency for over a decade in the Tampa area.  Gregg is also a former Certified Senior Advisor.

In 2016 he and his partner sold their home care agency and moved out of state.  Now his obsession is helping home care owners achieve their own revenue breakthrough, in an effort to help them create freedom in their own business.  Gregg does this by teaching other home care owners his “Rapid Referral” Training system that lays out a step by step proven sales process for gaining referrals in the senior care industry as well as his “Home Care Recruiting Framework- 4 GAPS method” program. Gregg also provides other consulting services in the home care space on topics such as organizational structure and design, establishing KPIs, recruiting systems, proven sales management, marketing strategies, and more

He has helped hundreds of clients worldwide scale their business using his sales and recruiting systems.  He has a Facebook group for Home Care Owners only with over 3,500 members called Home Care Breakthrough Solutions for Service Providers.

On today's episode of Let's Grow Together, I proudly introduce James Wedmore as he shares his secrets to growing his business to $10 Million. Hint: It's not a marketing strategy.

James is the creator of the incredible program Business By Design and the host of my favorite podcast The Mind Your Business Podcast.

For 10 years, James Wedmore taught entrepreneurs and online business owners how to leverage the power of online video and YouTube marketing to reach more people, share their message and convert more customers.

In 2016, James made a massive shift to focus on a big gap missing in the marketplace: the mindset needed for entrepreneurship. He launched a totally woo-woo podcast, the Mind Your Business Podcast and his signature program, Business By Design.

Today he helps coaches, experts, content creators, and authors not only to craft better marketing messages but also how to ditch the “hustle” mentality and create success from the inside out.

On today's episode of Let's Grow Together, I talk with high performance fitness and life coach Tommy McCollister where he shares how to set your mind up for success.

Tommy McCollister was achieving all he could imagine or want, but it wasn’t enough...

What he didn’t know was, it never would be. With lots of free time, all his financial needs met, an amazing wife and two awesome kids. Yet, he was numb. No passion, No purpose, depression and anxiety filled his days.

It didn’t matter that he had become a top ranked BMX bicycle racer on the national circuit, performed music alongside major artists, developed a shredded muscular physique, and worked as a successful coach of high level athletes and body composition clients.

He thought to himself, “There HAS to be more to life than this!”

That was the EXACT thought that changed the whole course of his life!! Tommy took his overachiever attitude that he had for “selfish” goals and started splitting that up amongst the things that ULTIMATELY mattered.

Tommy and his wife Dianne made BOLD move after BOLD move, which ultimately led to them launching their Coaching Business! Since then they have helped countless people transform their lives and accomplish things they feared they never would!!

Their mission is to help driven men and women find the balance and the body to match the business, while being at peace with themselves!!!

Jordan Ostroff is a visionary entrepreneur, President of LegalEase Marketing, Managing Partner and CEO of Jordan Law Fl, Host of the Exhibit A(ttorneys) and Let's Get Up To Business Podcasts and Chair of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Florida.

He was consistently taken advantage of by other marketing companies, because he didn’t get it and didn’t know what to ask for or what to look for. Having been faced with the prospect of learning how to run a successful business or close his firm and file for bankruptcy, he choose the later.

Additionally, Jordan is currently the host of Let’s Get Up to Business a podcast that helps business owners build, grow and protect their companies, as well as the Chair of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Florida a non-profit that pairs hundreds of underserved children with professionals who mentor them for most of their lives and help them achieve success.
