  • Control Your Time Or It Will Control You
    Oct 31 2025

    Send us a text

    Feeling stretched thin and stuck on a plateau? We dig into a practical method to escape overwhelm, choose one true priority, and plan a week that actually gets finished. Instead of chasing every task with equal urgency, we slow down just enough to ask the three questions that create clarity: what do you really want from the business, why this path instead of another, and how you plan to reach the goal. With that lens, “everything is a priority” stops being the default, and progress becomes visible again.

    From there, we map a simple weekly planning system that moves every loose end out of your head and into a trusted workflow. We walk through a complete sweep of email, notes, documents, and personal errands, then apply four decisive actions to each item: trash, file, do in three minutes, or schedule. That process shrinks the pile, eliminates decision fatigue, and gives you a clean slate. Next, we place tasks and appointments into a day-by-day template, rank each day by importance, and set a clear starting point so Monday morning begins with action, not confusion.

    Along the way, we share honest confessions about messy digital files, why a blank page kills momentum, and how a weekly cadence beats constant re-prioritizing. Expect tangible benefits: less anxiety, more deep work, and steady revenue growth as your calendar starts reflecting your strategy. If you’ve wanted an approach that’s simple, durable, and easy to maintain, this one will help you reclaim control of your time and energy.

    If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s juggling too much, and leave a quick review to help others find it. Then pick your one priority for the week and tell us what it is.

  • Serve First, Sell Second
    Oct 29 2025

    Send us a text

    Stop chasing the close and start creating inspired decisions. We sit down with sales leader and author Rhonda Petit to unpack a serve-first approach that builds trust, frames value with joy, and turns market disruption into a strategic advantage. If you’ve ever felt the drag of “commission breath,” this conversation offers a clear reset: align to purpose, strengthen self-trust, and show up to solve meaningful problems, not to push product.

    Rhonda breaks down the roots of influence—why confidence starts with the choices you make, how integrity compounds into credibility, and how the belief trifecta changes outcomes: belief in yourself, belief in your product, and belief in your company’s ability to serve. We dig into value framing that shifts buyers from anxiety to anticipation by painting a vivid path from pain to payoff and stacking outcomes until the perceived exchange feels like trading one dollar for ten. Along the way, we explore why people love to buy but hate being sold, and how to move from persuasion to empowerment so clients feel ownership of the decision.

    Disruption takes center stage as we reframe rapid change—technology shifts, new regulations, volatile markets—as a timely invitation to lead. Transformational leaders reduce fear by offering context, vision, and next steps, which elevates engagement and unlocks creativity. For sellers, disruption becomes the best conversation starter: a reason to reconnect, re-educate, and reposition your solution around what matters now. We wrap with practical takeaways you can apply today to build trust faster, create 10x value narratives, and convert transactions into lifelong relationships.

    If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review. Your support helps more sellers lead with purpose and win with integrity.

  • How To Turn First Conversations Into Real Clients
    Oct 24 2025

    Send us a text

    The first minutes of a new business conversation can shape everything that follows. We unpack how to start strong, build trust fast, and guide a casual chat into a scheduled discovery meeting without feeling pushy or scripted. If your networking and outreach feel busy but rarely turn into real opportunities, this episode shows the exact moves that change the outcome.

    We start with the core of effective selling: authenticity. People buy from people they trust, and trust shows up through voice, posture, and a genuine smile. You’ll hear why dropping the “sales mask” matters, how to signal warmth, and how thoughtful listening reveals priorities you’d never surface with a canned pitch. Then we map the transition from small talk to business: when the setting is noisy or rushed, use simple language to acknowledge timing and suggest a specific appointment. Options like “Tuesday or Thursday?” reduce friction, while a short, relevant assignment invests your prospect in the next step.

    From there, we highlight the role of a clear call to action at the end of every interaction. Whether you’re in line at Starbucks or wrapping a phone chat, forward motion depends on asking for the next meeting and confirming what both sides will bring. You’ll get sample phrasing you can use today, plus a preview of what’s coming next: qualifying prospects so you spend time where it counts. Along the way, we reinforce practical sales habits—be yourself, listen more than you talk, and always close the conversation with a simple, specific ask.

    If you’re ready to convert friendly conversations into real pipeline, press play and take these steps into your next meeting. Subscribe for more practical sales tactics, share this episode with a teammate who needs a stronger CTA, and leave a quick review to tell us which transition line you’ll try first.

  • Mastering Chaos: Turn Business Overwhelm into Systems Success
    Oct 22 2025

    Send us a text

    Ever feel like you're drowning in business tasks with no clear path forward? That nagging anxiety when everything seems to pile up is what systems expert Kim Young calls "absolutely icky" – and it's a feeling most entrepreneurs know all too well.

    In this enlightening conversation, Kim reveals how proper systems and processes can transform chaos into clarity for business owners. She shares her journey from helping overwhelmed moms to empowering entrepreneurs and small businesses through streamlined workflows and strategic thinking. The key? Starting with your most crucial pain point – typically marketing or sales – and building efficient systems around it.

    Kim doesn't just talk theory; she offers practical advice for implementation, the area where most business owners struggle. From creating simple checklists with accountability reminders to understanding when to outsource tasks (hint: marketing is a prime candidate), her approach is refreshingly straightforward. She emphasizes the importance of breaking large projects into manageable chunks, celebrating quick wins, and identifying your optimal productivity periods to maximize effectiveness.

    Perhaps most valuable is Kim's insight on the distinction between working IN your business versus ON your business. As she notes, "You need both," but without proper systems, you'll never escape the daily grind long enough to think strategically about growth. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine established processes, Kim's expertise offers a clear pathway to reducing overwhelm and reclaiming your time.

    Ready to transform your business operations? Connect with Kim Young at KimberlyFYoung.com and discover how the right systems can help you work smarter, not harder. Your future self – the one with more time, less stress, and a more profitable business – will thank you.

  • The Professional's Blueprint: Why Systems Lead to Sales Success
    Oct 17 2025

    Send us a text

    Ever wonder if top salespeople possess some magical quality you're missing? The truth might surprise you. Success in sales has nothing to do with being born with a special "sales gene" or having irresistible charisma. Instead, it's about adopting the right mindset, attitude, and discipline to learn and implement a professional sales process.

    Think about it: doctors from every specialty follow the same basic process with patients. Professional athletes have consistent pre-performance routines. These professionals use systems because systems work—they prevent mistakes and dramatically increase success rates. The same principle applies to sales.

    In this episode, Morris Sims breaks down the six essential steps of the professional sales process: the initial conversation where trust begins, discovery of what clients truly want and why, building tailored recommendations, presenting solutions without overwhelming detail, helping clients make decisions without pressure, and maintaining relationships for future opportunities. This system isn't about following a rigid script but about ensuring you cover all bases in a way that feels natural to you and helpful to your clients.

    One common mistake many salespeople make is overwhelming prospects with unnecessary information. As Morris explains, "When somebody asks me what time it is, I don't go about telling them everything about the watch on my arm." Clients need enough information to make good decisions—not enough to become product experts themselves. By focusing on what truly matters to them, you make the buying process smoother and more comfortable.

    Ready to transform your sales approach? Visit morrissimscom for more insights on finding your commission code to success. Whether you're feeling stuck on a plateau, overwhelmed by your workload, or noticing that previous strategies aren't working anymore, implementing this professional process could be the key to breaking through.

  • Unlocking Your Potential, Passion, and Purpose with Joel Steele
    Oct 15 2025

    Send us a text

    Imagine what would happen if you completely removed doubt from your life. According to Joel Steele, doubt is kryptonite—the enemy that prevents us from reaching our full potential. In this compelling conversation with Morris Sims, Joel shares the philosophy that propelled him from uncertainty to extraordinary success across multiple fields.

    Joel unpacks the core principles from his new book "Life Switch," revealing how the three Ps—potential, passion, and purpose—create the foundation for a transformed life. His journey from reluctant financial services professional to consistent top-50 performer at New York Life demonstrates the power of aligning what you love with what you're good at. "I didn't love financial services," Joel admits, "but I loved what it allowed me to do—help people and solve problems."

    What makes this episode particularly valuable is Joel's practical approach to achievement. His two-step formula—figure out what needs to be done, then do it—cuts through complexity and excuses. He challenges listeners to focus exclusively on what they can control rather than wasting energy on external circumstances. Through vivid examples from his career and personal life, including his unexpected path to NBA championship ring ownership, Joel illustrates how consistent daily choices compound into remarkable results.

    The conversation explores the power of building "streaks"—how maintaining momentum creates a self-reinforcing cycle of success. "When you get on a streak," Joel explains, "it starts to build a life of its own because you don't want to go back to zero." This concept applies universally, whether in business development, healthy habits, or creative pursuits.

    Ready to make your own "life switch"? This episode provides the blueprint for identifying what makes you come alive, removing self-imposed limitations, and taking consistent action toward your most ambitious goals. As Joel puts it: "If you're going to play the game, put in the time, suit up—you might as well play to win big, or else, why are you playing in the first place?"

  • When You Keep Score, The Score Gets Better
    Oct 10 2025

    Send us a text

    Ever caught yourself at the end of a busy workday wondering if all that activity actually moved your business forward? You're not alone. Most entrepreneurs confuse being busy with being productive, but there's a profound difference between the two.

    In this eye-opening episode, we challenge the conventional wisdom about what makes for a successful business day. The truth is, no one can actually "make" a sale—it's not entirely within our control. What we can control are the specific activities that make a sale more likely. When you start measuring what truly matters—like how many new business conversations you initiate—rather than just how busy you feel, everything changes.

    Traditional sales management often relied on Monday morning "history lessons" that reviewed the previous week's performance. This carrot-and-stick approach ultimately fails because it encourages people to fabricate data rather than learn from it. What works instead is keeping accurate score for yourself, using those metrics to make systematic improvements in your approach. As we reveal in this episode, "When you keep score, the score gets better"—but only if you're tracking the right things.

    We outline five practical steps to implement effective business scoring: choosing metrics you control, setting clear objectives, analyzing your data regularly, incorporating insights into weekly planning, and taking broader monthly and annual perspectives. This systematic approach transforms how you view your business progress, shifting from discouragement to empowerment. Whether you're struggling to grow beyond a plateau or feeling overwhelmed by constant work with minimal results, this episode provides the framework you need to refocus your efforts where they'll actually count. Ready to transform how you measure success? Listen now and discover your Commission Code for business growth.

  • From Showgirl to Serial Entrepreneur: Kristen Corral's Journey to Business Success
    Oct 8 2025

    Send us a text

    What does a former Las Vegas showgirl know about marketing on a budget? As it turns out, quite a lot. Kristen Corral joins us to share her remarkable journey from entertainment to entrepreneurship, revealing how she built multiple successful businesses—including seven restaurants—using creative marketing strategies that cost next to nothing.

    Kristen pulls back the curtain on her powerful community partnership model that drives revenue while making a positive impact. Rather than simply writing checks to charities, she creates structured collaborations with clear deliverables that benefit both organizations. Her current partnership with Nevada SPCA features a massive Mexican pizza special at her plant-based restaurant chain Tacotarian, driving two audiences to one location while supporting animal welfare.

    The marketing gems in this episode are both surprising and immediately actionable. Kristen explains how she uses AI as a dedicated PR assistant (saving $7,000 monthly), optimizes Google Business profiles in ways most owners overlook, and secures regular local media coverage through strategic, unselfish pitching. Her approach to blogging uses customer questions as content fuel, positioning her businesses as authoritative resources in their industries.

    What makes Kristen's advice so valuable is that she's implemented these tactics herself, scaling her first business—a dog walking service—to six figures with zero marketing budget. Now with a TEDx talk under her belt and a growing restaurant empire, her practical wisdom proves that effective marketing isn't about spending more—it's about thinking strategically and leveraging resources creatively.

    Ready to transform your marketing approach without breaking the bank? Listen now, take notes, and prepare to see your business visibility grow through these tested, accessible strategies that any entrepreneur can implement today.
