This past Monday during #Speakchat we enjoyed learning from Kelsey Ruger the “Power of Personas”, and how it benefits speakers in learning to use them in their business.  Many times when we are learning new information, it is critical for the person teaching us to reach the 3 part of our brains so that it is effective learning.  Kelsey is a master at that in his storytelling and his ability to brake down a topic to help us learn it well.

Monday’s Breakthrough Business Strategies radio show we will air our private interview with Kelsey Ruger on personas.  It is one of what looks like could be a very interesting series we offer you here on #BBSradio.

What does it mean to reach the lizard, limbic and lobe (front) part of the brain in your business stories?

Simple

Knowing how to talk to each part of our brains.  Just like we have different segments in our business – entrepreneurs vs sales professionals have different needs in using social media.  I have to address their needs in their language to reach their lizard, limbic and lobe ( in the front) of their brains.

Here is how it would look:

Lizard Brain (brainstem) is that part that controls our survival instincts.

It is the core of our brains before they developed into what we have today.

We learned form a previous guest Mark Bowden that our lizard brain has four concerns…

• Eat
• Attack
• Run Away
• Mate

Which explains why we have those instant reactions to people.  Our lizard brain looks for cues to tell us if someone is a threat or friend.  Mark taught us to recognize where do we hold our hands when we are being introduced to an audience.

Are they open and waist height showing we have no weapons and are not in fight mode?

How are you crafting your story so you speak to each area of a person’s brain so they are connecting, following and believing you?

Boy, I can think of a lot of areas to go with in this conversation.  We will definitely make this a series because there is a lot for you to learn, absorb and follow up on this valuable topic.

When You Trigger Their Brain You Reached Their Mind

Reaching Their Hearts Drives Your Message Home

Good Media Interviews Accomplish Both

Triggers are the key in communication today, whether it is online or offline. Being able to activate certain thoughts and triggers in your audience’s mind, are critical to your message being remembered and acted upon.  No one wants to spend time developing and creating media content that falls flat and doesn’t deliver.

Is Your Interview Message Falling Flat
Not Delivering Results

Are Your Triggers

• Distinctive
• Memorable
• Original
• Trendsetting

What do all of these words have in common?

They are qualities of a stellar media interview

You have worked hard creating your body of work:

• Authors your baby is your book
• Business owners the apple of your eye is your brand
• Speakers your night and day is your presentation skills & IP

Media Attention

Interviews Out the Wazoo

You have spent countless nights and even years crafting your art and getting yourself attention in the media is # 1 on your list now.  Most people will acquire themselves a publicist and book interviews “out the wazoo.”

What if you skipped an important and critical step in creating media attention that drives action?

1. Are you ready to rapidly earn respect?
2. Do you want your message to be will received?
3. Are you wanting to build high profile influence for your message?

When you assist the journalist and radio host in telling your story, you will gain better results from your appearance.

What Does a Media Audit Do For You?

Being able to wrap your message back into the questions asked, even when it sounds like the questions are not going where you want to talk is an art.

Your media audit is going to give you real straight forward facts and examples of where in your own interview experience you need to shore up your skills.

Identify

• Where you are losing attention of listeners
• Your verbal hiccups
• Weak language
• First impression communicated
• Missed opportunities in answers
• Pattern interrupts to listeners brains
• Your best interview style
• Activating the “yes factor” in listeners brains
• Your Golden Goose Moment

Why waste time getting it all wrong?

A powerful to get results and to work with Michele is, she will work with you one on one using her proprietary Maximum Performance Communication training.  It is a full 2 day immersion program.  Here are the details for Maximum Performance Communication.

How Will You Leverage Media Interviews?

1. Do listeners believe your message?
2. Are you breaking their confidence with your answers?

In the sea of noise today, to garner attention is a feat onto itself.  It takes a lot of persistence and fortitude capture the attention of media.  Can you really waste all that energy to get media coverage by not having  a well crafted and delivered interview when media knocks at your door?

Even what you produce in the beginning stages, will follow you as you work to get the “big boys” attention.  Will what you did in the early days – thinking you were getting your feet wet, kill your chances at higher profile media?

Stephanie Calahan will flip the table on the Breakthrough Business Strategies Radio host, Michele Price, and put her on the hot seat.  We will be listening , learning and uncovering common mistakes even seasoned speakers and authors can make in their interviews.

Listening to an interesting video conversation about being aligned to your goals Sunday, something caught my attention like a leash being yanked hard when training a new puppy.

Am I Chewing on the Wrong Bone?

We have all seen this even if we do not own a dog.  When a dog is chewing on a bone, it is on an intensely focused mission.  Nothing is getting between that dog and it’s bone.  If you are dumb enough to try and take it away, you will learn from as sharp bite or growl, you are not welcome.

Now while observing this phenomena, are we missing ways in which this lesson could serve us?

Recently I have been asking myself, am I where I want to be in my business?

• What do I need to reach my goals for 2012?
• Where do I need to shift my thinking and focus so I am aligned daily to my goals?
• How am I missing my opportunity to “serve me better”?

This shift in thinking all came about from hearing someone state so well “you can be like dog on a bone – focused on what you do not want and not be in alignment with who you are.”

Where is your daily life have you become like that “dog on a bone?”

1. Chewing away at the very thing you say you do not want?
2. Gnawing at yourself about what you are not doing right?
3. Creating pain in your journey by tearing the flesh of your goals apart working against yourself?

We all have done it, and and many times keep on doing it out of habit — chewing on the bone of what we do not want.  Let’s look at what one small shift of focus can help us reach our goals more consistently and with ease.

If you are going to chew your bone, make it the bone you want to eat.

Use your focus to be feeling the result of you want to accomplish.  For example, when you state “I am creating a consistent stream of income for my business through using my media interview skills.”  Do you then proceed to think about all the ways this will be:

• Fun
• Helpful to your clients
• Seeing clients reaching their goals
• Giving you satisfaction for job well done

Or are you focused on:

• What do I have to do to make this work?
• What if people do not see the value?
• How can I make this happen now?
• This brings more responsibility to my plate

It is a shift in your thinking, so you are focused on the good feeling results VS the “how to make this happen” thinking.

One is a pull the other a PUSH

Our goals are defined by our preferences.  We cannot control the manifestation of these goals if we are not aligned with what we want to achieve.  Your thinking plays a big part of your reaching your goals either through – alignment or sheer will.  Which do you think will the the frictionless journey?

Do you want to be the the dog on the bone of:

“Yummy this is what I wanted, let me savor each bite?”

OR

“I will make this work if I have to chew through this bone for the rest of my life”

1. Which one of those statements feels better to you?
2. Which one of those do you think will help you enjoy the process?
3. Which dog do you think will get more tasty bones?

Which Choice of Focus Will You Chew Now?

Does Your Business Have a Visual Hammer?

Words and visuals play a much bigger part of how our business is perceived and received.

breakthrough business strategies radio

The interplay between words and images is like a nail and a hammer. If the objective is to nail two pieces of wood together, why fool around with a hammer? Why not just focus all of your efforts on putting the pieces of wood together with a nail?

That’s the problem of marketing. Your most useful tool is a visual hammer, but the nail comes first. Unless you pick the right nail, all the creative hammers in the world are not going to help very much.

For decades, marketers have sat in meetings developing positioning statements for their brands. Today, marketers also need a visual hammer to build their brands. A visual hammer that connects emotionally, authentically and credibly with consumers.

Do You Savor Your Daily Cup of Coffee

Today on Breakthrough Business Strategies radio it was my turn to deliver the Breakthrough Savvy tip.  Offering you reflective questions to help you gain clarity in how you are operating in your business — moving forwards or moving backwards.

In the quest to be serving our listeners each week, we bring a lot of success thinking – mindset to the table during the show.  Today as I prepared for my Breakthrough Savvy tip, I saw a tweet that summarized my thoughts and questions perfectly.  (Love it when the stars and moon lines up like that)

#1 Are You Trying to Make Multiple Blends of Coffee in One Pot?

STOP Trying to Do and BE Everything to Everyone

Who wants to drink a combination of Sumatra, Kona, French Roast and Decaffeinated, all in one pot of coffee?

It makes for a nasty cup of coffee.  Even I have fallen prey to this mistake in life and in business.

What I have learned to turn this vicious cycle into a focused stream of productive energy is simple.

It is necessary to make a choice.

Yup, you heard that one right.  Pick a lane as my friend @LoisCreamer says all the time.  Pick ONE thing to focus on and lay out your strategy to accomplish the results you want.  Then execute them one at a time and once a day if necessary, until you reach your goal.  It is the simple solution many refuse to believe works.

They say they want easy,  but scoff at the idea of simple.  ”It can’t be that easy” and they go off to complicate their lives and businesses by throwing themselves into a vortex of confusion and complexity.

Pick ONE coffee, brew it and savor your results.

#2 What Qualities Do You Value In That Bean You Grind?

Question Your Assumptions

Ask the question – are the qualities of this bean what I want to taste?

All good coffee lovers know each bean brings it’s on nuances in your cup and across your tongue.

1. Do you enjoy a strong acidic taste in your coffee?
2. Do you prefer a mild smooth liquid to awaken you in early dawn?
3. How quickly are you able to make your mind up about the coffee you drink daily?

When you know what you like and enjoy, you make quicker choices. If you are unable to make choices, it is an indication you have not truly discovered what you like, therefore when you go to make a choice your brain is searching for more information. Welcome confusion.

Know what beans you enjoy and like, insures you will appreciate the coffee you brew.

#3 Use Cold Clean Water and Fresh Ground Beans

Good Stock and Sharp Tools

Cold clean water is the first ingredients for a good cup of coffee, no matter what variety you like to drink.  Second, is grinding your beans so they produce the kind of coffee that satisfies your palate.

A fresh pot of French press requires a totally different grind than an Espresso.  Are you trying to produce a cup of intense Espresso, with a coarse grind designed for the French Press?

Being knowledgeable and willing to use “just the tools and materials” you need for that cup of coffee is significant.

Are you using cold clean water? =   Are you making clear simple decisions?

Do you use sharp tools to grind your beans? =   Are you operating from an organized strategy that align to your business objectives?

Have you produced a good cup of coffee? =   Have you generated profits for your business?

Amazing how close a good cup of coffee is to a well run and profitable business when you look for the lessons in the cup.  Which actions will you take after recognizing why your cup of coffee is turning out a cold bitter brew?  Will you consult with Michele on crafting your business a solid social communication strategy, or will you hire her to help you improve your credibility and trust during your media interviews?

Remember what Jim Rohn shared is still very much a truth — “If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way.  If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.”

Which will you find?

Is that a French Press or an Espresso you want to drink?

Business Ideas Inspired by the Small Town Rules

Having grown up the granddaughter of a farmer and the mayor of that small town, I personally know the responsibilities of being active, thinking big, operating humbly.  It had not occurred to me that I had learned these qualities from the simple life in small towns.

• Where have you found small town influences in your own business?
• What can we learn from getting back to “dealing with people we know?”
• How has a technology been a part of small towns for years?
• Do big brands have something to learn from Small Town Powerhouses?

Small Town Farmer ( My PaPa and Michele)

What I learned from a small town farmer that influenced all my businesses:

“Listen, listen more than you talk and ask people how they are doing.”

That lesson has allowed me to find build multiple businesses from creating deep connections.

“There is more than two sides to a story, be slow to react, and quick to give benefit of the doubt”

Learning to be able to keep my mind open has brought about solutions that normally would have been missed.

“Treat everyone as if they are the most important person in town”

We all deserve to be treated with respect and it serves your business when you treat everyone as important.

What Small Town RULES have you learned from and

put into practice for your business?
