Like Zig Ziglar would always say, "You can get anything you want in life as long as you help enough other people get what they want." When you serve first, things will come back to you. Your podcast allows you a tremendous opportunity to serve others. You can serve people with your content. Guest can come on your show and be served by you as you get them exposure. Events and organizations can be served by your promotion. On the show today, I want to give you a variety of ways you can benefit when you serve. We'll also talk to Dan Miller, author of "48 Days To The Work And Life You Love". He has a great resource for you called "How To Talk, Serve And Put Money In The Bank". SERVE There are three people who really taught me how to serve through my business. The first influence in my business was Zig Ziglar. The more I listened to Zig encourage us to serve, the more I tried it. As I was getting better at serving, my business continued to grow. It is amazing what serving can do for your spirit. The second influence was Dave Ramsey from Ramsey Solutions, The Ramsey Show and Financial Peace University. Dave always encourages his listeners to find someone to help you with your money who has the heart of a teacher. That really hit home for me. Teachers have a special heart and desire to serve. They have such an impact on people by how they serve. As I went into my business, I wanted to come from that same place and serve well. COLLABORATE When it came to creating partnerships in my business, I wanted my approach to be the same. I want my business to have the heart of a teacher and serve. I really learned how to have a partnership discussion based on service at Collaborate. This is an amazing event where you can connect and collaborate with hundreds of coaches, authors, podcasters, speakers, program leaders and many others. There are a variety of experts who can become your partners to help you grow your business, impact and income. There is another Collaborate coming up soon. You can get all the details through my affiliate link at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/collaborate. Collaborate is an event put on by the team at JVIC – Joint Venture Insiders Circle. Rich German and Iman Aghay have that heart of a teacher. They want to serve. More importantly and impactful, they teach their audience how to serve. SERVE BY NETWORKING During the Collaborate event, participants are put into networking circles of six or eight people. Each person has about 2 minutes to tell who they, who they serve and what sort of help they seek from their promotional partners. Now, most events would stop there. Throw people in a room and let them get at it. Instead, Iman teaches every person exactly how to use their two minutes. He gives you a template to tell people exactly how you serve so they will want to partner with you. But, it doesn't stop there. He also teaches participants how to have the follow up conversation after the event and serve even more. We so often go to events and meet a ton of people. After the event ends, we neglect to follow up and take action on the connections. No collaboration happens. Iman teaches participants to use their 2 minutes in the breakout rooms to simply get people to want to have a follow up call with you. On the follow up call, Iman says use the first 20 minutes of the call to see what the other person is all about and where they need support. Spend the next 20 minutes talking about you and where you need support. Finally, spend the last 20 minutes to find ways you can serve each other. This is such a powerful way to create amazing partnerships. You can get the full details on the next Collaborate event at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/collaborate. I would love to see you there.
