The One Thing You Need To Do Every Day | Ep. 14

“Do something every day that scares me.” It is this quote I wrote for myself on a napkin that lead me to saying, “Yes,” to a car racing experience that I thought might just kill me.

For two days, I couldn’t sleep. I woke up with my heart-racing and my palms sweating until I realized exactly what was holding me back from embracing this super-cool, edge-of-my-seat experience of a lifetime.

In this episode, I’ll reveal how I conquered my fear, and what it really took for me to take the wheel and drive.

I learned so much from this experience and I am super excited to share it with you. Let me know what you thought of this episode in the comments below and as always by reviewing my podcast in iTunes.

The most important business choice

February 23 by Bill Baren 12 Comments

The most important time to do something is precisely when you don’t feel like doing it.

You know that going to the gym this morning is what you need, but you don’t feel like it.
You know that keeping your mouth shut right now because you’re mad will help the situation, but you just can’t help yourself.
You know that taking 15 minutes this moment to meditate is what will help you get centered, but you just can’t get yourself to sit down.
You know you need to do that thing you’ve putting off in your business, but somehow you continue putting it off for just one more day.

What we truly need is often the hardest thing to do.

7 Books That Will Transform Your Business (and Life)

November 14 by Bill Baren 89 Comments

As a lifelong learner, it is a passion of mine to continually acquire new knowledge about marketing, sales, and mastering the inner game of building a business.

When you finally master the game of marketing, you attract new leads effortlessly. When you master the game of enrollment conversations, you exponentially increase your income in your business. Finally, when you master your inner psychology, nothing stops you from achieving what you set out to accomplish.

I am continually reading and educating myself to improve upon my skills in these three areas because I see it as a lifelong journey to master these domains.

In the information age, there’s so much information out there that it’s challenging to narrow it down to the most relevant and supportive material for you while you move forward in your business. So I’d like to help you out by offering up some of my own personal favorites in my library.

Today, I’m sharing seven books that can transform your business (and life) by reading and applying their principles to your business.

4 Critical Things To Change If You’re Working On Your Business Way Too Much

September 25 by Bill Baren 5 Comments

I hear it all too often from business owners:

“I am SO overwhelmed by everything I need to do in my business!”

I have to say, I totally get it.

You’re serving clients, marketing your business, and you want to have a life. You cross one thing off the list and two more pop up in its place. No wonder you feel drained! And I know you don’t want that.

I have a little insight that will have a big impact:

“You CAN’T have it all.” (Even though I often hear people proclaim the opposite).

The key is to be mindful about WHAT do you really want to devote your life force and your attention to.

In my experience, people get overwhelmed because they’re trying to pack too much “stuff” into their lives that ultimately isn’t that important.

Here are 4 powerful things I’ve done that have helped me shift from feeling overworked and unfocused into a life of meaning and fulfillment and more spaciousness.

I know you have a lot on your plate, so let’s get to it!

Why putting yourself first is key to business success

July 14 by Bill Baren 34 Comments

You have probably read countless posts from me (unless you are new in my world) on getting clients, creating success and cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset.

This message is a little different.

Every year, I create a yearly theme that helps me focus the power of intention in one area of my life. As a result, a tremendous amount of growth, deepening and breakthroughs manifest themselves around that theme.

This year’s theme – LOVING MYSELF.

It has not been an easy one for me. It’s feels like I am going up and down with it like a roller coaster. I know this is often how it goes when we commit to something important. And it doesn’t make it any easier. (Does this remind you of your own journey to business success?)

Here’s my biggest realization:
