People Who

W elcome to the world of influential people. From social media, business, health/fitness to transfor-

mational leaders like self-help gurus, educators, authors, speakers, artists, coaches, trainers, and mentors. All are heroes too often invisible heroes. All are visionaries coming forward to bring a message of hope and possibilities and developing a platform for creativity and excellence.

Our definition of an influential person is someone who chooses to impact those around them for the better, someone who encourages people to think beyond their own life so that they will aspire to inspire others. Influence is not enforced but gently led by personal example and. education. While big media would convince us that the world’s influencers are all on the ‘main’ stage we at Influential People Magazine disagree. Yes, we may read a book or see someone in a news report, but those people are too distant from our own sphere to make them relatable. We know, it is those in our communities who truly influence us, who teach us and inspire us, not by one deed but by how we see them live. The team at Influential People believes passionately in spreading that message and understands the need to provide exposure for people on a local level. We work hard to provide a forum for coaches, mentors, authors, writers, trainers, speakers, business owners, entrepreneurs, photographers, event producers, health & wellness practitioners, teachers, icons, heroes. We consider these people to be leaders whose voice and a story has still to be told to the world. Influential People Magazine is known as a place for emerging Influencers.

14 INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE MAGAZINE

Over the past century, technology has changed a lot regarding media. The transition from old media to new media has gone from the “old” previous generations using radio, newspapers, and television to the age of “new” media by expanding media into social media, online forums, news agencies, media outlets, and blogs to name a few.

tured in various media outlets across broadcasting, news programs, magazines, radio shows, and more.

With the great advancement of technology, our access and use of media are greater than ever before, providing individuals information they may need. Without the media, it is going to be difficult for many of us to effectively accomplish our day to day activities and routines.

IPM: Can you tell us a little bit about

When it comes to getting your message across to the general public, the mass media is an important factor (seen and coined as the ‘main-stream media’ or MSM), through one of the most advanced forms of communications and interactions with people currently is social media. However, Lori McNeil is no stranger to the media spotlight. She is a strong, passionate, influencer who leads people in building a Legacy that matters, and who teaches entrepreneurs to use National media to broaden their reach and impact. She has taken her work and advocacy to the national and international market, where she has been interviewed and fea-

She handles her attention with grace and humility, leveraging her opportunities to advocate for worthwhile causes, such as literacy, supporting troops abroad, entrepreneurs, and other individuals and organizations to find and get on their path to success, a fulfillment that results in getting their message out to the media outlets.

yourself and how you got to where you are today? LM: I grew up in an extremely creative, hard-working family. That ethic has been with me all my life. I started making barrettes for Christmas bazaars in first grade. I took out my first bank loan at age 11 (my mother co-signed with me on $3,500) to start my own hotdog stand. I have always been reaching for something bigger than myself. Entrepreneurship has been woven into the very fabric of my life. In my adult life, I spent years in both education and business, while being involved as a consultant, politician, community advocate, and volunteer. This has led to opportunities both nationally and internationally beyond my dreams.

IPM: What was the biggest obstacle you faced in the pursuit of your business and how did you overcome it? LM: One of the biggest obstacles I faced

early on was understanding that entrepreneurship is a lifestyle, not a job. Even though I knew that intellectually my hours would not be typical, I was used to working in a traditional atmosphere that I struggled to transform my thinking to accept the concept of what true time freedom is and what it would take to create it. Simultaneously, this new mindset came with the obstacle of creating healthy boundaries and understanding that I did not have to say, "yes" to everything, believing that it was "my job." In fact, saying, "no" to more people, actually means saying "yes" to my own goals. Working with coaches, engaging in live events, and building relationships with the right people made all the difference in the world for me as I learned to switch my brain from being in that traditional space to one which served my goals and lifestyle as an entrepreneur. Once that transition occurred and I began to realize the "how" I never looked back.

IPM: Is it difficult to find and talk to the media outlets? LM: Not at all. In Fact, it has never been easier. A decade or two ago it was a bit more difficult. The two elements that make it simpler today are that; one we have social media where practically everyone is approachable and reachable, and two there is quite a bit of information available online that on just over a few clicks one can find something that connects them to the right person.

media strategist, and volunteer helping charities, fundraisers, and organizations for military, literacy, education, leadership, and etc.… Being an entrepreneur in those fields, how are you able to manage all in your life? LM: Well, now that I have debunked the

The process may be a little different depending on the country and what they allow. One important piece is to ensure that your messaging is translated correctly. Most people overlook this piece and since words have different meanings in other countries, it is an important element.

IPM: What are the common misconceptions people have about the media? LM: The most common perception is that you must know someone or know someone who knows someone. While this is still relevant, it does not stop there. Everyone is accessible. A second misconception is that the media is full of liars, thieves, and politically run. While this may or may not be true to some extent (not the best forum for that rabbit hole) the media still plays a prominent part in our culture. Because of that, media exposure is still one of the best ways to expand your reach which will position you and your brand.

IPM: What is the one common myth about your profession or field that you want to debunk? LM: The myth of work/life balance. Inside the corporate world of 9-5, there are set hours of work that one is expected to be at and perform at some level. The draw to entrepreneurship is having instant ‘freedom’ of time. Honestly, you work less in a 50-hour week than you will as an entrepreneur. There is no work/life balance. There is only life balance. Understanding this creates greater success and creates that freedom.

IPM: You wrote a book called “Media Secrets Revealed”, can you share with us about this? LM: Absolutely! I wrote the book to help others achieve the same results I have achieved. It contains the five strategies that have, for me resulted in obtaining a media spot 100% of the time. The second reason I wrote the book is to open the possibility for those who want to gain media attention but feel like they can’t.

myth of work-life balance, I feel like I can go a bit deeper. Entrepreneur balance comes down to one simple concept, time management. I know that whatever is important to me I will make time for. So, I build it into my schedule. Also, I include my family as much as possible.

Lori McNeil is a Author, International Speaker, Media Strategist, International Business Coach. She is a strong passionate, influencer who leads people in building a Legacy for themselves and their business. Lori is a advocate for worthwhile causes, such as literacy, supporting troops abroad, entrepreneurs, and other individuals and organizations to find and get on their path to success. https://lorimcneil.com/

IPM: What is your favorite part of your

business you enjoy doing? LM: I love speaking. Having been a teach-

Lori A. McNeil

er I look at my speaking opportunities as opportunities to teach others. I have the privilege of imparting knowledge, and then I get to speak individually to people who are ready to act.

IPM: What motivates you to keep going in what you do? LM: My family. They are everything to me. Everything I do filters through them.

IPM: Do you have a message that you would like to let our readers know? LM: You’ve got this. The difference between someone who is successful and someone who isn’t is internal beliefs. Living in abundance is truly a mindset that is as unique as we are as people. The only person that determines your success or failure is you. If you have not ‘arrived’ at where you want to be at, but are making progress, you have not failed. I see too many people giving up on their dreams because of someone else’s definition of success. Set your goals, create the plan, and charge after it. You’ll ‘arrive’ before you know it.

What is BioHacking? B

Biohackers are individuals who believe in experience-based knowledge. Their mindset is, “Show me the research and then let me try it for myself.”

Iohacking is taking full control of your biology. If you’ve pursued ways to improve your health, that’s biohacking. But, it’s more than just putting butter in your coffee

every morning or taking a daily vitamin. Biohacking is the desire to understand the body and mind you’ve been given and using everything at your disposal — cutting-edge technology, tools, and science — to become the best version of yourself.

Why Biohacking? Biohacking is more than just reading mindless self-improvement tips. It is understanding

the why behind how you’re feeling, thinking, and performing. Knowing the “why” empowers you to not only biohack your body, but to make impactful changes to your overall health and well-being. At LifeVantage, we live for finding the “why” through relentless research, experimentation, and technology. Biohackers are individuals who believe in experience-based knowledge. Their mindset is, “Show me the research and then let me try it for myself.” Learn to pay attention to how you’re feeling. There is always something tangible that’s affecting your daily ability to be awesome. Instead of simply accepting aches, ailments, and exhaustion as part of growing old, start to question those setbacks. With the “biohacker mindset,” you’re not eschewing traditional medicine,

you’re just figuring out what works best for you. You’re actively seeking out a healthier lifestyle. And for that, your future self will thank you. With all this in mind, the real question you should be asking is…why not biohack?

A Healthier Day Starts with the Essentials Consider Activated Essentials your daily health tune up. It’s just like maintaining your car, except it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Protandim® Nrf2 Synergizer™ keeps the rust off your cells, Protandim® NRF1 Synergizer™ makes sure you get all the power you can out of your engine, and ProBio is the fuel additive that keeps your motor clean and running efficiently.

LORI MCNEIL The

9 Best Influential Attributes Of An

INFLUENCER

Photography by Alvin Acosta 113 Media San Diego

Perhaps one of the best compliments a person can receive is to be known as an influencer. Influence is subjective at best and objective at worst. Objectively, if we say there is only one approach to defining who an influencer is, we have set ourselves up for failure. 18 INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE MAGAZINE

I’ll explain. Most of the time an influencer is defined as someone who persuades another person’s purchasing decisions based upon knowledge, authority, positioning, or relationships. This works fine in the world of marketing, specific products, however, have you ever…. ○ Received a message from someone you don’t know personally who just thanked you for what you do because it saved their life Been told that because of how you show up in the world other people are watching you I love your work These are simple yet powerful effects of being an influencer. The irony is your knowledge, authority, positioning, and even relationships are not what moves you to influencer status. What moves you to become an influencer is how you show up.

The most influential people in the world often are not the smartest or the wealthiest or even the most popular. The most influential people in the world today are those who ascend to a higher level of living, thinking, and being.

5. Understanding is one of the greatest attributes of influence and the simplest to explain. When you take the time to see another’s perspective, what you are saying is that you value them. When someone feels valued, they will listen to what you have to say. To understand means to listen. Listening is one of the greatest gifts we can give and receive.

ELIZABETH GALVAN BODYBUILDER, MODEL

24 INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE MAGAZINE

OUR INTERVIEW WITH

Deaf One Armed

WOMAN OF STEEL Everyone has a time in their life where they set their sights on a goal that they want to achieve. How would you feel if you were told you couldn’t do it because you were different? Would you believe them? Would you give up? Elizabeth Galvan was confronted with doubters her whole life. Galvan lost her right arm at age 3 in an accident with an old-fashioned washing machine. The same year, she developed a bilateral hearing loss as a result of an illness and was fitted with hearing aids. In high school, Elizabeth wanted to be a lifeguard. She was told no because she needed to have two arms to swim someone to safety. Elizabeth refused to take no for an answer and became a lifeguard. She entered pageants and modeled as well, even won Best Photogenic, Teen Spirit, Best Talent trophies, crowned Miss North Dakota. Elizabeth has also won a few awards for runway modeling, best fashion, and won first runner-up in St. Louis’ National beauty pageant then she went on to win second, third place and the inspiration trophy from the NPC Upper Midwest and third, fourth place trophies from State of Minnesota Sports Expo, for bodybuilding, she will keep on going.. Elizabeth Galvan refuses to let her disabilities slow her down. She is a one-armed deaf bodybuilder with Usher syndrome from Fargo, North Dakota. She has been through many challenges from the start. Where others saw limitations, she saw an opportunity to achieve greatness and inspire others who are different. Which makes her very influential person to know.

IPM: Tell us how you lost your arm and hearing at age 3.

the floor in order to avoid tripping and harming myself.

Elizabeth: My parents had divorced, and I was with my mother the day it happened. My mom wasn’t watching me at the time, and I somehow got my arm caught between the wringers of the washing machine. It was my mom’s boyfriend who found me. Because I had been there so long, circulation was cut off to my lower arm. Doctors tried to save the arm but later had to amputate it in order to save my life. Because of the neglect, likely due to mental illness, my mother lost custody and my father received full custody. My aunt took on the role of my mother.

IPM: How did you become a Lifeguard when you were told no?

IPM: At age 16, you found out you had Usher syndrome. How did you adapt? Elizabeth: It has been a slow progress of the vision decreasing on the sides and top and bottom. Many times, I've missed stuff, like bumping into people I didn't see. I have been adjusting my lifestyle, so I am often in daylight or am guided by someone at night. At my home, I make sure there is nothing on

Elizabeth: At first, I was rejected. The school board felt I wasn't the best choice, because how can I save people in the water, especially someone heavier or two people at the same time? They felt it was risky. I was determined, and with the help of an interpreter, I was able to voice my opinions and ask them to give me the chance to take all the tests that are required to be a certified lifeguard. They agreed, and I passed all the tests—in the water, on the floor, CPR, first aid, and written tests. I proved them wrong and worked as a certified lifeguard for four years. IPM: How did you get into doing pageants? How many have you won? Elizabeth: I was encouraged by my stepmom who I considered as my mom...she thought that would be a great opportunity because she saw the wonderful in me to show everyone. So, I agreed to

INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE MAGAZINE 25

IPM: What awards did you win in bodybuilding? Elizabeth: In the 1st competition - 2nd place, 3rd place, and inspiration award, 2nd competition-3rd place and 4th place. Oct 24, 2021 NPC Upper Midwest competition Master figure 35+ 3rd, Novice Figure 40+ 5th, Mas-

ters Figure 40+3rd., Open Figure b 4th IPM: What’s the driving force in your life? Why do you set out to do things that you know will be difficult? Elizabeth: I am high driven that loved challenges, to prove myself and anyone’s doubts. When I am being told with no...it challenge me to be determined to show that I can. So, with any doubts or no or I can’t give me the challenge to prove ourselves wrong. Challenging is something I love. IPM: What do you want to be remembered for? Elizabeth: What I wanted to be remembered is of who I am as deaf, one arm lady with Usher Syndrome that fought all obstacles in life challenges...that want to be known to show everyone and especially the children that they can achieve anything no matter if they doubted themselves. My favorite saying...If I can do it, you can do it too! IPM: Any advice for people facing challenges similar to yours? Elizabeth: Don’t give up!!!!! You will fail but it doesn’t mean it’s all over.... failure gives you the hunger to fight your doubts to try again, again until you succeed it. Keep going! Try again! You will see why it’s all worth the experience, failure, determination, and many more! Deafwomanofsteel79

try it out for the teen pageant. Then again in my adulthood, a friend thought I should run the pageant again. I was uncertain at first because I am a mother...She mentioned that there are mothers and daughters in its pageant. So, I thought it would be a great opportunity for myself and my daughter to run together. So, it had only been 2 pageants and won both. Great experience and very rewarding. IPM: Can you tell us, what made you decided to start body building? Elizabeth: After my recovery of major back surgery.... did my research and discovered that bodybuilding does improve and help with the health, stronger physically and mentally. So, I decided to start bodybuilding after my recovery and the excessive weight gain. It was the best decision made as ever. Bodybuilding helped a lot especially felt much stronger physically than I was before. Bodybuilding became a passion for me.

SIX HABITS OF HIGHLY EMPATHETIC BUSINESS LEADERS

CHRIS SALEM SPEAKER/INT’L BEST SELLING AUTHOR, BUSINESS/ LIFE STRATEGIST, RADIO SHOW HOST Copyright Chris Salem

In today’s business world, it seems to get more polarized and divisive each year. It is a lack of communication that creates this divide and often prevents companies to play at a higher level, a sustainable way. Empathy is powerful and can have profound effects on how an organization or small business can elevate their business to the next level. It involves people first but always starts with you. Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another’s position. Empathy brings people together to do great things. It does not mean everyone has the same values and beliefs but can relate to one another to find common ground to do bigger things together as one. Let’s look at some habits that transparent leaders practice every day to create shifts not only for themselves but for empowering the people around them.

Meditation

Quiet, purposeful mediations done daily from

within allow us to get to the root cause of our limited beliefs. It is heard we can observe ourselves from a third-party perspective to see limited patterns that hold us back. It is here over time we can eradicate the root cause of these limiting beliefs and offset the negative emotions associated with them. It creates calm energy that leads to

clarity. With clarity, we become more decisive. As we become more decisive, we can take massive action.

Journal

This habit goes hand in hand with mediation. It is the

ability to write down what comes to mind following your daily mediation without overthinking or overanalyzing your thoughts. The two habits alone bring clarity to build a foundation from operating within the solution rather than managing the problem. One can be present more often and make sound decisions with action that leads to bigger leaps in their business.

Read

Reading every day even if just one chapter sets the

mindset to be more focused and organized throughout the day. The key is to read content that is relevant to your growth personally and in business. Besides, it is good to mix it up with content that is fun and sparks the creative side of your mindset. Being laser-focused and organized with priorities that matter is the difference operating your business in a sustainable way or managing the problem each day.

Listen

The ability to listen effectively is truly important. Most

people listen to respond and not listen to understand. Learning how to relate to others upfront forges healthy and productive relationships. It builds trust and credibility with one another. Take time to learn how to relate to others to the best of your ability and listen to

understand without thinking how to respond. You will always have your chance to talk. It puts you in a better position to con-

client or someone you work within your business.

Forgive

Nelson Mandela said, “We must strive to be moved

by a generosity of spirit that will enable us to outgrow the hatred and conflicts of the past”. Conflict or disagreement with each other’s values and beliefs leads to nowhere good fast. It never leads to sustainable success in any situation including business. Coming from empathy and learning how to forgive creates peace from within and in time allows people to come together and do even greater things than serve others. A business foundation built on empathy and forgiveness is a

Active

Transparent leaders know energy is required to bring

these habits together to create empathy at the highest levels. Taking care of ourselves personally creates an example for others around you to do for themselves. The key here is consistency as well. Being active or exercising 4 to five times a week coupled

with eating right aligns well with these other habits to build a sustainable foundation. Take time to create a personal plan for

business. To your health & prosperity

Let empathy be your new direction as a business leader. Look at these habits and being able to incorporate them into practice at your pace. The

Fly

Hummingbird,

Fly

My first grandbaby, Eliana, was born 9/18/2016, twelve years to the day I killed somebody in a car wreck. I had gone from medical school to prison behind a horrific accident that occurred during my ten-year addiction to cocaine. I rebuilt my life, rebuilt trust, regained my confidence, and set out to live a new life without cocaine. What happened to me twelve years into this new life was unexpected, not sought after, but certainly a blessing in disguise. Because my daughter's due date was the same, I thought God was replacing life with the life I felt I had stolen and it would somehow reduce the grief and pain I suffered through year after year. Consequently, her birth became so very much more and was what catapulted me into TRANSPARENCY and gave me the courage to release my life story in my book, What Goes Up. I wrote my book in jail while awaiting a possible forty-year prison sentence but didn’t release it until Eliana was born. This story is for you Eliana, my Hummingbird!

38 INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE MAGAZINE

Eliana arrived on her due date but was stuck at 6cm in the birth canal and suffered a brain injury due to a lack of oxygen. She was diagnosed with HIE, GRADE III (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathymost severe.) Her brain injury caused her to be blind, deaf, she couldn’t suck, cry, or even regulate her temperature. Eliana went through many surgeries during her first year of life and was fed through a feeding tube (g-button), had multiple respiratory issues, and required twenty-four hour around the clock care. I didn’t understand why back then, but I had a hard time bonding with her in the first few weeks of her life. I sat with my family day after day at the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) as she was put on a cooling pad, placed on an oscillator, and hooked up to machines and wires. Although my heart was grieving, I experienced joy as my daughter held her for the very first time, days after her birth. I loved her beyond measure but somehow felt disconnected. I suddenly realized I felt guilty, that I was somehow responsible for this! The devil convinced me her tragic birth injuries were my fault, I mean, the dates couldn’t have been a coincidence, could they? After realizing I was letting my TOXIC past rob me of my future, I knew I had to make some changes to release the SHAME and GUILT. I decided to rewrite my book from a dark tone of blame and anger to a new tone of accountability and forgiveness. I made a conscious decision to FORGIVE myself for the accident and move forward with my life so I could enjoy the road ahead instead of constantly looking in the rear-view mirror. Me blaming myself for her birth injuries and

grieving from the culpability I felt, forced me to make a pivot in my life to truly LIVE again. We started calling Eliana our Hummingbird because when the oscillator machine did the breathing for her the first week of her life, her lungs fluttered very fast, like hummingbird wings. Every time she would get sick, go into the hospital, or have surgery, people on social media started posting pictures of hummingbirds on my profile to show their support for her. Her health started declining and after counseling with Hospice, my daughter and son-in-law made the incredibly painful decision to withdraw her meds and let her go. Sadly, on January 11, 2020, we said goodbye to our sweet girl as she transitioned into Heaven while taking her last breath in my daughters' arms. Eliana had the very best parents any child could hope for and they loved her unconditionally. This was by far the hardest thing I have had to face to date. I felt pain and grieved for my daughter and her loss and felt my pain from losing her as her grandma (Mimzy)! There are no words, no memes, no counseling sessions or condolences that could take the pain of grief away from my heart, but I learned through my past adversity in life that we MUST grieve and heal from pain or it will eventually destroy us. As I was writing my book, I discovered writing was therapeutic and unleashed secrets to myself around painful issues I had never dealt with. Writing tapped inside my soul and exposed grief I had never gone through. Secrets from my past I had never shared started to emerge, abortion issues I

never confronted surfaced, and the loss of my own identity during my domestic abuse hostage situation came to light. Grief in itself will kill our spirit, numb our tongues, and harden our hearts. I feel it is imperative we work through the heartache, confront the demon of pain, and allow our anger to be released constructively. For example, I had multiple abortions during my cocaine addiction and took a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hitâ&#x20AC;? of cocaine going into the procedure and was picked up outside the clinic and took another hit immediately after. I never addressed the pain, instead, I stuffed it down with cocaine, Little Debbie snack cakes, or denial it ever happened. I think denial was a way for me to be able to coexist with the pain of each abortion because had it been front and center, it would have eaten me alive like flesh-eating bacteria. We all grieve differently and, in our timing, but we MUST allow ourselves the space to grieve and process or we will never feel free. Although Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sad Eliana was only here four short years, she taught me so many lessons in life. She taught me

INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE MAGAZINE 39

patience because her disabilities were severe, and you could not rush her care or her progress. She taught me the awareness of the disabled community by educating me on the necessity of handicap parking spaces, letting a wheelchair-bound person cut in line, and by allowing me to learn compassion through walking the walk with her. I am a better person because of my sweet little darling, she pushed me to be better every day. When I had fear of promoting my book, speaking my story on a stage, or being transparent with my wrongdoings, she was the light that guided me because I knew I had experiences to help others that weren’t able to help themselves, for one reason or another. She pushed me to do more for myself, take better care of myself and stop procrastinating because I lived through watching her fight every day to live, even though she could never do anything on her own. Eliana will be known as a superhero that was placed on Earth as a blessing, even though it is hard to see her death as such. I found victories to focus on instead of losses. Life hurts, we all know it and go through it. Please give yourself space to be distracted, to cry anytime you feel like it, and to feel the anger. Permit yourself to feel guilty, mad, or even blameful over your pain. Allow ample time to process and plan for how your life will be different moving forward. Use writing to give your emotions a voice and as an outlet for your screams. Regardless of how you grieve, the point is YOU MUST. Do not pretend it doesn’t hurt, or pretend it didn’t happen or negate the validity of it because that only festers inside like an infection and will eventually spread and erupt in all areas of your life and well-being.

You can and will survive through loss, pain, or even shame and guilt. To survive my past, I learned to find the silver lining in every situation so I could focus on the positive instead of dwell on the negative. I learned to give a hand and use my life experiences to help ease the suffering of others. Even though I am grieving Eliana being gone from this physical world, I smile with pride in knowing our hummingbird is flying high above the clouds with angel wings as she continues to sprinkle blessing on others with her life. Find your drive to be better, to overcome adversity, to rise above the shame. Find the person you were intended to be and let a loss of a loved one be your driving force to be better because of them! I pray every time you see a hummingbird you think of Eliana and remember to be kind to others and fight for yourself as hard as she fought to live. I pray you to find comfort in her story and learn to use your pain as fuel to become a better version of you.

ADAM STRONG: AUTHOR, SPEAKER, PRODUCTIVITY COACH, PODCASTER

How to

Enhance Your Productivity (in 15 Steps) Copyright Adam Strong As I sit on the sofa at home, I use this time to reflect on what I have achieved and not achieved in the past year, areas of improvement, and what I need to do to change for the year ahead of me. I’ve come to realize even with experience and success in business… … you can still feel overwhelmed, frustrated, fearful, self-doubt, and a lack of clarity. (Even though you know what must be done)

>> Important >> As a former elite athlete that studied and trained with Olympic athletes, I thought that I was invincible until I realized that actually we all have limiting beliefs and sometimes we are just so incredibly hard on ourselves. When I think of myself, I’m the biggest critic. I put all this pressure on myself of running a business (or three) balancing work and family life and setting myself high standards. All this pressure can somewhat paralyze our thinking and reduce our peripheral awareness. When I think of my position, I came to realize that many others are actually in a similar position. We all get stuck and it doesn’t feel good. So, the million-dollar question is… How will you ensure your business is more productive in 2020?

44 INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE MAGAZINE

Here is my “15-step checklist” 1. Create a VISION Your vision needs to start with what impact do you want to leave the world, in 100 years how will you be remembered and what legacy do you want to leave? Yes, these are all big questions, don’t get overwhelmed! If you have created a why, goals, dream, or purpose in the past that you have not achieved, it’s likely that something didn’t feel right, you were disconnected and you were destined for something bigger than who you are. We all have a purpose in life, use a quiet space, or use meditation tools to help find some clarity allowing you to tap into what you want. It will also help you eliminate distractions, ego, and low self-worth. 2. ACTION PLAN One of the first things I teach my clients is creating a business blueprint! The blueprint needs to emulate according to your vision, this will help you become more focused. On one page, I start with my exit strategy (If you don’t want to exit that’s fine too, you may want to create a business where you have more of a backup scenes role). In 3-5 bullet points, I write out what I need in place to make my exit strategy hap-

pen this varies from business to business. Here are some ideas: What positions do you need to have filled? What new products/ services do you want to have developed, what systems do you need in place? What countries do you want to expand? Try to be as specific as possible. Next… A 12-month plan A 6-month plan A 3-month plan One month from today You will want to update your one-page blueprint every month as your business adapts and progresses. 3. Don’t be afraid to fail I have seen a common attribute in most entrepreneurs that I believe is our downfall, failure. I never see failure as a bad thing, I see it as a blessing. Failure is a way that has not worked it doesn’t mean it will never work. Did Thomas Edison have that mindset when he created the lightbulb? No, he just found 10,000 ways of how a lightbulb didn’t work. Does a baby give up that easily when they are learning to walk? No, they keep going until they figure it out. Accept It’s ok to make mistakes.

Don’t think you are going to fail after – One speaking gig – One webinar – One high-ticketed offer – One course launched – One Facebook ad – One event Keep going 4. Plan the day before This is a must-do if you want to kickstart every day with intention! Always plan your day the day before and split the day into thirtyminute segments. This is one of the key skills you need to develop to become more self-disciplined and focused. 5. Manage your energy If you want productivity, then you have to start managing your energy more efficiently. That means taking regular breaks every 2 hours, eating a healthy balanced diet, and staying in good physical shape too. I encourage my clients to set themselves a fitness goal, for example, one of my clients decided to pursue the challenge of running the great wall of China half marathon. It doesn’t have to be as extreme as that just something that will take you out of your comfort zone. 6. Speed is the new currency I’ve come across many companies that have spent years plateauing, losing money, and profits because they’re stuck. The story of Blockbuster Video failing in the face of innovation to Netflix is a common one. We see the same thing that happened to Toys-R-Us going into administration because they failed to identify the changing shopping habits of their customers, failed to embrace a digital platform, and failed to adapt to the new market. Slow-moving firms have no future. The world is continuously evolving. Big players like Amazon, Apple, Wholefoods, and Nike are beginning to swallow up the markets. These companies are making customers’ experiences quicker, easier, and more convenient. And because companies like Blockbuster Video and Toys-R-Us got complacent, they’re out of business.

“Success is all about Speed” To me, success is all about speed. I don’t care about anything else. Speed, both in people skills and hard work, will crush anything. How quickly you implement certain ideas, adapt to the market, and stay ahead of your competition will make all the difference in your business. As a former elite athlete, speed was so important, especially when it came to deciding on when we needed to step up a gear when we were going to overcome the competition when we’d win the race. It’s the same thing in business – you have two choices: hustle hard or get crushed by the competition. 7. No such thing as perfectionism Many business owners wait to make sure everything is perfect. It’s important to realize that perfectionism is BS and that you don’t have to get everything 100% right all the time. There will never be the perfect time, place, situation or circumstance just be happy with 80% and then move on.

“It’s not about perfection, but just getting things done quickly” 8. Measure everything As an athlete we measured everything, it was key to track the progress that ultimately gave us results.

If you want to improve you need to know where you were (past), where you are currently (present), and where you’re heading (future).

Do more of what work and stop what does not work. As an example, I use a system called ‘LAPS’ enabling me to measure my leads, appointments, presentations, and sales. 9. Stop doing list We all have an endless to-do list but one thing I teach my clients is to figure out their stop doing list. To do this you must…. Evaluate what business skills you have and rate yourself on key areas such as sales, marketing, pitching, networking, branding, finances, and operations. Delegate as much as you can enabling you to focus on the activities you enjoy and that you are good at. I’m not particularly great with numbers, therefore, I delegate that activity out to my finance team. What activities/ tasks can you list that you need to stop doing and how much will it cost you to give that activity/ task to someone else? 10. Know your value! When I sat down with one of my clients ‘Richard’ he was stuck, frustrated, and struggling to manage his time efficiently, he was stressed out not able to see his family and working in a business that was essentially him! I found that was trying to do everything (he was the bottleneck). Whether that be working on his website, scrolling through his social media feed, checking his email, or creating a logo. He was essentially doing tasks for little or no money. When he realized this, we used productivity hacks and created a small team of contractors (these we sourced on places such as upwork.com, fiver.com, or 99designs.com). He discovered all these activities are transactional. Transactional tasks do not add revenue to your bottom line. During the day, you need to focus on revenue-generating activities that grow your business enabling you to delegate more tasks out. 11. Systemize everything! One of the biggest things I have been focused on this year is creating more of an online business. We live in a digital world and you can create so much more impact by reaching out to clients that you can help in other places in the world. To move to the next level and be successful you need to develop and create systems and processes that support a new way of life. The purpose of any business is to have a commercial and profitable organization that works without you. If your business depends on you or the knowledge is locked into your head begin to document everything and use the relevant systems to do the work. 12. Condition yourself This is one of the key foundations you need to develop from the start. It doesn’t matter about a strategy or success formula without conditioning your mindset first, you will fail. For thirty minutes a day (ideally in the morning) read, watch or listen to positive material that will energize, encourage you, and will help you overcome self-doubt. 13. Surround yourself with the right people Take yourself out of surroundings that make you feel like crap and plan time in places that uplift you! Spend less time with energy vampires and toxic people. These are the typical types of people that have limiting beliefs and want to put their s**t on you, or the ones that tell you you’re not good enough, or offer unsolicited advice on your expertise with what you

INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE MAGAZINE 45

do, or those that just whine and moan about life and do nothing to changing their own. Unfortunately, the reality is they can be an employee, a friend/ family member, or worst of all your spouse. Choose positive people that uplift you and think like you. Create your circle of associations that have a growth mindset, those that share the same success principles and values as yours, empathy, integrity, and kindness. 14. Believe in yourself If you don’t believe in yourself there will be no shadow of a doubt that you are going to struggle! One of my clients ‘James’ didn’t believe in himself this created self-doubt and fear of rejection. He didn’t want to pick up the phone to follow up with clients after interacting with them. After revisiting his vision and understanding his client's pain points, he became motivated and believed that he could help his clients find a solution. 15. Get a coach or mentor From a very young age, I was exposed to coaching early on in my athletic career. Honestly, if I didn’t have a coach or mentor there is no way I wouldn’t have had the success I had if it wasn’t for him. If you look at Olympic athletes, celebrities, or successful entrepreneurs they have all had coaches and mentors. For most of you, coaches/ mentors can come from books, audios, YouTube videos, Instagram stories or just following successful entrepreneurs. If you want a shortcut to success then go and get a real coach or mentor, one that you invest time and money with. They will save you the most valuable asset ‘TIME’ which is something you can never replace! A great coach or mentor should encourage you, hold you accountable, and be honest be with you! When you work in the trenches it is hard to get a bird's eye view of what’s holding you back and how to fix your bottlenecks. It is critical to get some advice and have someone to turn to that will help you get to the next level (a place where you may have never been before!) It can be lonely running a business (trust me I know I own three). Don’t assume you know everything, be coachable. I teach this when I work with my clients. If it is good enough for me, it must be good enough for you too! Conclusion If you’ve read to the end, I’m sure there have been some points raised that have resonated with you. I wanted to share some insights into my life, my business, and what you can do in yours. Business is not easy (don’t let anyone tell you otherwise) I’ve seen so many business owners and entrepreneurs fall down the rabbit hole and it is tough to get out! The key is to spend more time working on your business not just in your business, and you need to learn how to work smarter not harder. . The truth is… you can patch some things together from this article and try to achieve success but both you and I know that’s a slow way. If you to build a successful business that gives you what you want out of life get a successful “mentor” or “coach” that can make it easier for you to give you a competitive advantage. . And that’s why I’m here to help… As a Business Results Strategist. I want to show you the right way to achieve faster results, create clarity, and grow and scale your business.

The Confusion of

Humanity and

3 Ways To Find Peace

Do you feel like hopping on the next inter-galactic spaceship and traveling to a planet that makes sense right now? I don’t know about you but for me, the current world we live in is so confusing, recently I was struggling to understand not only what is going on, but how I felt about it! One thing I do know is that no matter what you believe right now, you will have people slam you, laugh at you, berate you, shame you, and yes, some will also believe you and support you. Often as humans, we feel safer, better, wiser, or also forced to take on the opinion of others as our own and I feel this has been intensified over the last few months but the other side of this is that with the huge energy shifts on this planet, anything that is not authentically felt as true for us will feel out of alignment and uncomfortable.

50 INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE MAGAZINE

So, what DO you believe? My perception of things changes daily concerning all current matters and how this planet is transforming, thus throwing it into chaos.

Here are 3 ways I am slowing down the mind tornado and coming back into alignment with my clarity daily:

What is YOUR truth?

What do YOU believe? Are your current beliefs yours or a projection of someone else’s who you think is right and therefore you need to think the same? One thing I have certainly learned through all of this is that simply because someone else feels right with their opinion doesn’t mean it has to be mine. Sit quietly and feel into this one. What feels comfortable and has eased for you will be your truth. You may even need to do this several times a day if you start to feel out

of alignment or confused in any way about new information or events, or new opinions heard from others.

2. What type of truth-seeker are you? I have found this to be of the most important for me. Being shamed for not acting or protesting in the way that others do is not fair, and you have the right to be and have a different, or the same opinion, as others. · If you are a front-line person fighting the great battles! · If you are in the trenches supporting the front line that’s great! · If you are one of the planners and generals that’s great! · And if you are one of the energy workers behind the scenes that’s great! We ALL play an important part and we are ALL doing the best we can so really feel into this today and every day (as your perceptions and positions change) and ask yourself where and how do you feel comfortable right now in bringing more peace and oneness to this planet?

Find your peace first.

No matter how you are dealing with life right now, the confusion and frustration of things can send you astray and there is no peace when your mind has that tornado swirling around in it. Peace within your own heart can be underrated and seen as no action towards the whole but in fact, it is the beginning of peace in reality.

Werder, who have examined job satisfaction, states that approximately 10% of the workforce in the Western world doesn’t find their job meaningful. The authors state that especially behavioral strategies like pretending to be working, boredom, and a lack of challenges can eventually lead to illness if one succumbs to the pressure. Yet how can we make a change without losing our homes—which no one wants to do? I highly recommend putting aside money from your paycheck each month to secure a financial buffer. In time, this will give you freedom— the freedom to take a leave of absence to travel, to quit a job you don’t like and pursue a new career, to write a book or whatever you desire. You may also choose to move to a cheaper area. I know people who have done so to follow their dream of going freelance and to deal with the insecurity in earnings that follows. It’s only your fantasy that sets the limit. I believe that material stuff doesn’t provide real happiness. What does provide happiness is having something meaningful and energizing to look forward to every day. ~Gitte Randup http://grconsult.dk/en/ Gitterandrup Gitterandrup

5 Ways To Intuitively Nurture Your Network

MELISSA HULL FOUNDER, TV HOST, PRODUCER, SPEAKER, AUTHOR, CONSULTANT

Intuitively nurture your network with these five easy ways to connect, and let’s all find success together. When it comes to spreading a global, world-changing message, you’re going to need as many people in your corner as you can get — but that doesn’t mean collecting surface-level connections or Facebook friends. Building a network strong and wide enough to circle the globe means getting to know people authentically, even in our digital world. So, in 2020, let’s all make a resolution to throw out the small talk, marketing agendas, one-sided opportunities, and petty competition from our relationships. Instead, let’s connect by tapping into our intuitions, choosing collaboration over competition, and holding enough space for us to all succeed together. Ready to dive into my 5 easy tips for intuitive networking? Here are the tools I use to nurture your network.

5 Ways to Intuitively Nurture Your Network.

a message or a check-in from me later that day. I’ll send a text or write a card and drop it in the mail. If that friend is having a hard time or celebrating a milestone, I’ll make a note to send some flowers.

As I mentioned, I like to use my gut when deciding who to focus on each day. Some entrepreneurs may use a calendar or a more structured approach to nurturing professional and personal relationships, but I generally like to let my intuition lead the way. It feels more organic to me, and I think it helps me tap into relationships at the moment they need me, rather than according to the arbitrary rotation. Send your energy out there and see who needs to hear from you — you may be surprised how much you can intuitively sense.

Each day, as a part of my mindful morning routine, I take a few minutes to just be. I grab a notebook and journal, or sometimes I read and find some inspiration to start my day. During that time, whoever pops into my head at that time usually gets

Make thoughtful introductions.

Sometimes the best opportunity comes in the form of a well-placed introduction. Whenever I meet someone, I’m always thinking about who I can connect with. The strength of your network relies on the strength of each connection. By helping your friends strengthen their connections, everyone grows stronger together.

1. Make it part of your routine.

Trust your gut.

Pay opportunities forward.

Sometimes you hear about an opportunity that sounds exciting, but it’s just not for you at that moment. Instead of just deciding whether or not you’ll participate, spend an extra minute or two thinking about who else could benefit from that opportunity, then pass along the information. If nothing else, that person will know you were thinking about them

and investing in their success.

Manifest your network bucket list.

We grow in the direction of our networks and relationships. So, if you want to reach a certain level of success, first find the people who are already doing it. That’s who you want to dedicate intentional, focused energy to. Next, to manifest those relationships into being, start by writing down those names, big and small. Consider people in your communities, as well as people who you might consider totally out of reach. This is your relationship bucket list, after all. Great, now you’re nurturing your network with intention and intuition!

Share with Us! How do you nurture your network in an organic, intuitive way? What helps you stay connected and feel authentic? Share with us! We would love to know! Your story is so important.

Look to what you can control, and pretty much forget the rest. Of course, you need to keep an eye on what is happening with the virus. But do not obsess. There is nothing you can do about travel being closed to Europe, events being canceled, or the media hyping up the dangers. As a leader, your energy is better spent focusing on your business and what you can control: helping your customers, looking for revenue opportunities, limiting expenses, and working with your key team members on finding new opportunities. We are living in a time of constant change. We have a global market that has opened up opportunities. New competitors entering daily. Technology is constantly redesigning the marketplace. The one thing we can all agree on, it is probably the one thing we are all worried about, is what has made us successful to this point, what has grown our companies, it is not going to be enough going forward. We need a different approach and a new style of leadership.

Communication is important at this time. Be as open as you can with your team right now. If this is impacting your business, even if you are worried, as a business owner, it is ok to share that with them. Your team can handle tough news; they can handle challenges; what they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle is the unknown. Right now, it is better to over-communicate than undercommunicate, and do everything you can to keep your team and your customers in the loop.

After you share information with your team, ask them for their ideas

and opinions. It would be best if you had all hands on deck right now, and everyone fully engaged. Remember, people support what they help create, and asking your team for their input will ensure you are tapping every resource you have at this critical time.

Ask yourself if you can diversify revenue at all? Whether your income stream is compromised or not, it is still a good time to diversify. Can you offer some things online? Can your salespeople sell into different markets? Is there a new service you could be offering? It may take a while to get these revenue streams going, but now is a great time to plan.

with your team to create the strategy for situations like this. Remember, if you see change coming, it is an opportunity, ignore it, and it will defeat you. Change grows like kudzu in our marketplace today, and as a leader, you have to be prepared.

Project Karma

was established in 2016, to focus on combating child sex exploitation. Project Karma is

based in Melbourne, Australia but works to combat child sex exploitation both within Australia and in key regions of South East (SE) Asia where the majority of these crimes occur.

#1 National Bestseller: Food Sanity – How to Eat in a World of Fads and Fiction As health expert for Lifetime television’s morning show and syndicated radio host, Dr. Friedman has spent the last fifteen years interviewing hundreds of health advocates, scientists, doctors and New York Times bestselling authors. His goal has always been to share cuttingedge topics and advice to help his audience reach their optimal health. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened. Instead, every guest would end up leaving them (and Dr. Friedman) more and more confused. From proponents of a Vegan, Paleo, Mediterranean Diet to a Gluten Free and Low Carb Diet, the opinions are as different as night and day. After becoming frustrated with so much biased (often paid for) and conflicting research, Dr. Friedman created a common science meets common sense approach that finally puts an end to the culinary conundrum!
