0:38

irish music being since it is saint patty's week

0:43

are going to talk about how to stand out profitably and attract your perfect audience with

0:48

belief-based messaging so many entrepreneurs and brands fail to profitably stand out to grow their

0:54

business they're invisible they're unseen they're unheard to the audience of buyers out there who would

1:00

love what they offer and i want to change that um that is

1:05

part of my mission and that's why i want to welcome you to visionaries um here at visionaries

1:13

we believe it's time to take a stand for what you believe in and fully commit to the brand mission you're called to build

1:19

we're on a mission to help you clarify create and communicate your vision for a happier more meaningful life business

1:25

and community so to kick things off um on this show i want to talk about one thing

1:32

i'm grateful for i recognize that i probably don't do it enough maybe we think it but we don't speak it

1:38

and i think recognizing those moments of gratitude is important so first off and this one's a little

1:45

unique i guess but uh i'm grateful for technology uh i'm looking around at at the setup i have

1:52

um i'm kind of a gearhead i like tech um and i've got my phone going live

1:58

i've got my camera connected to up to computer going live uh i may have graphics throughout uh

2:06

here i can even play one now and i just think oh there we go i'm over top the graphic

2:12

i just think there's so so much power in technology and it can be used for good and it can be used for bad and we've

2:18

seen evidence of that all throughout history whatever form that technology takes and so i

2:23

am grateful for technology so ask yourself what are you grateful for today what's relevant to what you're doing

2:29

right now uh you can find little moments or big moments of gratitude so

2:36

back to the topic of what we're going to talk about so how to how to stand out profitably and attract

2:42

your perfect audience with belief based messaging what does that look like

2:48

well one of the best ways to stand out and be different and to get noticed for all the right

2:53

reasons is through what i call belief statements

2:58

when you can communicate what you believe and what is true to you i guarantee it will be true to many more

3:05

people we often find belief statements done well within political social religious

3:12

movements where people feel like they can be a part of something they can belong they can have a sense of identity so

3:19

when you can communicate belief statements then you can easily attract the people you feel called to serve because

3:26

they can they're interested in thinking more like you um it's not in a way that is um

3:34

it's not coercion it's not hard selling it's more of just inviting them hey like this is how i

3:40

like to live my life or this is how i like to operate operate my business

3:45

if this is interesting to you if you feel connected to what we do what we stand for what we believe

3:52

in then feel free to follow along and if you find

3:57

the opportunity you know if you find that our products and services also fit with helping you do this as well because

4:03

your product services will align to these belief statements then feel free to buy but it makes the

4:10

selling process easier and people kind of make that emotional connection be like oh i enjoy

4:15

following this person and because i enjoy following them and i believe a lot of things that they say

4:21

then whenever they talk about their products or services it the demand is there and it's an easy

4:28

sell so let's talk about what it looks like

4:34

to create your belief statements let me just bring this down cool

4:41

looking good looking good making sure it's on the channels belief statements so it can be as simple

4:47

as creating a series of phrases or statements that simply yet powerfully communicate what

4:54

you believe what you stand for in your business

4:59

and this is a big part of brand building is that it's one thing yeah to

5:06

put together a product or service and you're selling it it's solving a problem people want to buy it

5:12

but that only gets you so far eventually people will go to another business your

5:18

competition if you don't if you don't invite them into a story that's about them

5:23

and belief statements are one of the best ways to do that so uh let's start off i'm going to share

5:30

my screen uh so for those of you who are watching or listening on channels that you can't see this

5:35

tune into youtube and you can be able to watch this or our facebook group so let me expand this out and i'll

5:43

describe it and go as we go along as well okay so i've got a document pulled up here

5:50

which literally says our belief statements and it starts off we believe dot dot dot we believe

5:57

it's time to take a stand for what you believe in and fully commit to the brand mission you're called to build

6:03

okay so you heard me say that early on that is one of our core beliefs if you feel like that connects

6:09

with you then you know you're like hey tell me more or what kind of products or services do you

6:15

sell and so if you feel a sense of connection to the identity around that as well so okay

6:22

let's break it down so believe it's time it's time right now right this moment to take a stand

6:28

what does it mean take a stand not literally i mean i guess you can stand up but i'm gonna screw back a little bit um

6:35

it can mean you you literally stand up but more so it's a you know fictitive

6:41

standing up where you take a stand if people are telling you you can't think a certain

6:48

way you can't act a certain way you can't live a certain way taking a stand is the moment that you

6:55

show them what you believe and what you're willing to die for basically um and as dramatic as

7:02

that may sound and especially if you have a business uh you're not gonna you know it's not

7:10

gonna be a fatal moment but it's important to communicate what is a non-negotiable

7:16

and so that's what these belief statements are so take a stand for what you believe so you got to

7:22

communicate actually what you believe so people know hey i know what they stand for i can stand with them

7:28

or if i don't agree with it i'll stand against them you know there's it's black or white it's uh there's that

7:34

contrast you're either in or you're out so you take a stand for what you believe and then fully commit

7:40

to your brand mission that you feel called to build so your brand mission is and we'll doc

7:48

talk about that in a second we talk about vision and our mission you feel called to build

7:54

something and the mission so first off the vision is where you're going to go like what is

8:00

that future that you envision for the world the community

8:06

and then so that's the where to where you're going and then the mission is how you're going to get there who's

8:11

going to help you get there and what it is that you need to do to make that happen

8:19

okay so we got that here's a few other belief statements that i've created and this can be a long list

8:26

for your brand you don't make it too long because you want to make sure your team or your customers can understand or at

8:33

least remember a few key ones um but make it makes make it possible to to memorize

8:39

uh to be able to communicate so that way if someone may communicate something that conflicts to

8:44

what your belief statements are then you can take that stand and communicate it back

8:50

and do so in a way too keep in mind all of this is done with the lens of kindness generosity

8:59

and positivity because if you don't if you're not motivated by some of those values then

9:08

having belief statements that really are against you know doing against

9:14

kindness you know that's that's not a great place to be and that's that's a big thing i believe in for sure

9:19

is doing things born out of kindness and integrity and and things like that so a second

9:25

part is we believe you can be who you want to be so we are all born obviously we're

9:33

living here we're all born into a sense of belonging we have family we develop friendships

9:42

different relationships and all of this comes back to the moment though that we're born we're

9:47

born as an individual we are our unique people yet the same in

9:52

the sense that we are all part of the big human family and but in in that sense of

9:58

identity we can take claim out of becoming who we want to be and um

10:04

and whatever identity that may look like be that a a awesome dad maybe it is

10:11

um an incredible partner or spouse maybe it is a business owner

10:18

i speak to you as visionaries because i believe when you can take that identity of a visionary

10:23

then you can become who you want to be because the visionary sets that

10:28

vision of where they want to go where they want to take their brand where they want to take their customers

10:34

and then the mission that they invite people to be a part of

10:39

is the journey that takes them there so you can be who you want to be another belief statement we believe the

10:46

future is for those who see it and then build it you know where a big part of this is

10:53

born out of this belief statement for me is obviously the visionary aspect of believing in the future

10:59

that you first see and then you seek to build

11:05

uh but it's also borne out of this idea that there's in all things there's first a

11:12

spiritual creation and then a physical creation the spiritual creation

11:17

is not tangible it happens in your head maybe even it happens on on paper right you

11:24

you build a model of it but it's not it's not physical yet it's not fully built yet uh it may be your next project

11:30

your next product or service your next brand uh or your current one right a project

11:36

that you're currently working on you first see it in your mind and then you seek

11:42

to build it it's that spiritual creation and then that physical creation one uh one example i

11:49

love of this um one of my favorite visionaries out there is walt disney he's one of the most recognizable ones

11:56

you throw out his name people you know associate what he stands for what his company

12:01

has stand for which is a big part family values um wholesome media hopefully right

12:08

um through that lens when he was alive um but shortly before he passed away

12:15

he was literally on his deathbed he was there in the hospital he was there with his brother roy his

12:21

older brother who was a partner in his business who was

12:27

basically running the books and other parts of business strategy and here's walt

12:32

laying on the bed this is after disneyland has been built and

12:38

it's a worldwide success people love it children love it and the plans were already in the works

12:44

to build out disney world in florida and i don't think ground was

12:50

broken yet but walt had such a vivid vision for what he wanted walt disney

12:57

world to be like which was a bigger expansive experience than what disneyland

13:05

had at that point and literally he's there laying on the bed painting

13:10

out with his hand on the ceiling this is what i envisioned disney world to look like and to be like

13:16

he was doing that spiritual creation before the physical creation happened

13:24

unfortunately he didn't live to see walt disney world finished and in full operation

13:31

but i can you can bet your bottom dollar that it really came together as he

13:37

envisioned it because he had that vision of where he wanted to take things but then he communicated at first to roy

13:44

and then to his team the company and that got translated into that physical creation

13:50

so that definitely aligns to being that identity of a visionary

13:56

another statement that i've created for for my business is we believe in ownership

14:02

not victimship i believe that owners and victims are polar opposites you're

14:09

either you either own a situation a decision a project

14:14

or you are a victim to it uh victims often struggle a lot more not that owners

14:21

don't struggle owners definitely struggle everyone struggles but it's the perspective of that

14:26

struggle and that challenge you either become the victim or you become the owner when you become the victim

14:33

you are negative you point out all of the flaws of you have a lack of hope lack of optimism

14:40

you don't think that anything will work out and you see yourself as kind of a pity member to the

14:48

experience and then ownership is when you can take ownership

14:53

recognize that there are flaws you have there are areas for improvement yet you're willing

14:59

to commit to what that next level can look like and to take ownership over those

15:05

projects those problems those decisions

15:11

okay and then another piece and this is this one's definitely connects to my own personal

15:16

beliefs but i i truly do believe our personal beliefs especially if you're the business owner

15:22

should fit within aspects of our brand beliefs because if we can align

15:27

personal views to um brand views if we're the business owner then we can

15:33

build something that aligns throughout all aspects of our lives and then we can

15:38

invite team members and customers to align with that as well so i do believe in god and so i do believe

15:46

and i this is i say it as a we believe statement we believe that god is the ultimate visionary and the perfect model for success above

15:52

all else um he's perfect and he sets up a model for

15:57

us to follow to be more perfect not that we can be perfect right this moment we're all imperfect

16:03

but yet that we can go on this journey of that final result um

16:09

always chasing and always seeking to become more more perfect more better

16:16

so this uh this last piece that i have and this is an evolving list there may be adjustments and that's okay

16:23

but all business decisions should be made all projects should be made through

16:29

the lens of these belief statements we believe everyone has a powerful message inside of them

16:36

that needs to be shared with the world okay so this one really speaks to

16:43

what i love so much about the power of content and video to communicate a powerful message um

16:50

share it with the world and invite people into that that message that mission that story that you're

16:56

sharing so everyone has one by the way whether you are a brand builder

17:02

maybe you're a freelancer maybe you're not even in business yet everyone has some kind of thing

17:09

they want to say they have something to say sometimes the introvert in them uh i know this definitely kicks

17:16

me in the butt sometimes as uh as an introvert but uh

17:22

the introvert in them or there's lemony beliefs there's myths they feel this sense this fear of

17:28

judgment that people will judge them if they speak their mind they speak what they believe

17:33

but if you don't then you are robbing people of the opportunity of learning from you

17:40

hearing your unique perspective and then even if you repel some people

17:47

at the same time you will attract just as many people if not more because they can stand with you and

17:55

recognize hey this person actually takes a stand for something

18:00

this definitely connects to something that i love from the play and i'm sure eventually full

18:06

movie hamilton where you've got these two political

18:12

iconic characters from american history we got alexander hamilton who is this financial genius

18:19

uh and uh and leader at this time to aaron burr uh he

18:26

and aaron aaron burr and alexander hamilton were friends at times but they also were

18:32

competition and often also polar opposites

18:38

alexander hamilton at least as what was communicated through this uh

18:43

this theater production took a stand and wanted the freedom

18:49

wanted to make certain decisions and wanted to not take the safe road in order to see what he envisioned to be

18:56

successful for his family his community and the nation that they were

19:01

then set up to build and customize you know this american experiment and then aaron burr you know uh he

19:09

was wishy-washy he didn't really take a full stand and he kind of catered to the times or what

19:16

he thought people wanted to hear and uh i may butcher this phrase but there's

19:22

something that alexander hamilton says to aaron burr that he's like if you don't take a stand like if you

19:29

fall for something like what do you fall for so basically saying like why don't you take a stand aaron like you

19:34

are failing to take a stand so no one's standing with you you're not winning the votes you're not making the impact that you

19:40

want to make and so it all goes back to this idea of taking a stand and knowing what you want knowing what you want to

19:45

create okay and i want to hit on this real quick so these are

19:51

uh first are our vision so this is speaking to what i've written

19:56

out as our vision and when you say our vision this is again where you want to go what is that

20:02

future what does that future look like so the where we have a vision of a world where

20:09

mindset environment and technology are no longer barriers to sharing

20:18

influential messages that build profitable brands and meaningful relationships

20:25

so what that speaks to is this idea that living in a world so this is the future

20:34

or mindset so internal beliefs internal thoughts environment so what's around you what's

20:40

outside of the mind who are the people what are the circumstances

20:46

and technology so the tools are no longer a barrier to sharing

20:52

influential messages with content with video that build profitable brands and

20:58

meaningful relationships so at the end of the day um there's really a two-fold elements of

21:06

success that i see um that often are yeah are the root of most successful businesses all

21:12

successful businesses is that they focus on profit uh you definitely need to generate a profit and

21:18

to make more money to extend your influence expand your team but then meaningful relationships both

21:25

with the business owner and themselves with you as the visionary you need to have a meaningful relationship with yourself

21:31

with your family with your coworkers with your employees and then with your customers and the community in the world at large

21:38

and so to me having eliminating those barriers and making a

21:44

path forward a plan forward for visionaries to build the future they

21:50

want and do so by communicating what that future is to their team their family you know

21:57

the community and uh and their customers because then when you can communicate that

22:02

you can invite people into that story so that's the where is living in that

22:08

world and gratefully thankfully

22:13

there's a lot of tools out there that make that possible the technology nowadays makes it much easier and helps us

22:19

achieve this vision right we've got the phones for video recording for audio recording for

22:26

the written word for different types of content we got affordable cameras which 10

22:32

years ago 10 plus years ago wasn't as affordable wasn't as democratized not as accessible

22:39

as they are today the computer is the technology it's available in easy getter hands on and then

22:46

environment so creating an environment you know we've seen quite this evolution from 2020 to 2021

22:53

and and on there's this gonna be this constant evolution of environment that makes it easier or

23:00

harder for us to clarify communicate and create a message that

23:08

gets people excited to buy products and services and uh in this kind of

23:16

communication let me pull this down real fast this kind of communication

23:22

happens best when you have the environment that is set up for you to succeed

23:29

because a lot of times whether it's our office space or

23:36

if we're on the go and depending on if we got kids making noises what have you or

23:43

then the environment is not set up for for us to succeed to click to easily communicate and

23:49

actually that's one reason why like i've i give myself this sense of you know i've set up my technology

23:56

i've set up my environment so i have my own office in the past i didn't i worked out on my

24:02

my bedroom when i first started bootstrapping my business um and then i'm working on my mindset

24:09

it's that's always the most evolving piece and often the hardest

24:14

to uh to change and transform but my technology my environment are soft those are no longer

24:20

barriers for me it's the mindset and so to help my mindset and to create better habits

24:27

i've set a 10 am mountain standard time locked and loaded in my calendar every

24:33

day to go live and to share different nuggets of value to help you build your vision

24:40

uh communicate that vision create it and you know and fuel it with the content

24:46

and videos that you need to succeed and grow your business and i give it i've i've tried to

24:53

eliminate what my mindset may get in the way of put on my calendar get it locked people can't book time you

25:00

know i i just it can't be interrupted it's not negotiable um and so committing myself to that

25:05

and what helps on top of that is having accountability partners along the way is is really

25:12

getting getting that set up for you to succeed and my mindset's gonna be the hardest piece but but that's why like

25:19

for me it's like okay how can i be the best case study to this this vision that we have and

25:24

then through the coaching the services the training the teaching that i do

25:32

how can i be the best case study through the process and act in integrity so that way people

25:38

can also eliminate the mindset the environment and technology that gets in the way of

25:43

helping them share influential messages that helps them build a successful business and develop more meaningful

25:50

relationships so that is part of my vision um and

25:56

definitely yeah and like i saw a note i think it was from kyle that teaching is definitely the best way

26:02

of learning the more we can teach the more we can learn how to better communicate the

26:08

ideas that are in our head um and remove the limiting beliefs and the mindset

26:15

blocks that are gonna keep us from showing up and getting those influential messages

26:20

out to the world okay so that's where i want to go that's what i might i want to invite that

26:25

future um experience to you guys to to follow

26:31

along and take part in and the what the who and the why so our mission of getting there is going back and i'm

26:38

going to say it for a third time in this episode but going back to this belief that it is time for you

26:45

to take a stand for what you believe in and fully commit to the brand mission you're called to build

26:51

because when you can do that when you fully commit that is one of those first steps in getting your mindset more in

26:57

a uh in the right place so video supply um video supply which is

27:05

our our main offering right now um those some of you may have heard me

27:10

reference content supply that is my my bigger brand we have a lot more things happening underneath that

27:16

um but for the sake of this we're talking about video supply and you can insert content supply video supply whatever

27:23

into that piece so video supply will help you clarify create

27:28

and communicate your vision for happier more meaningful life business and community and so we are on

27:35

a mission to empower visionary entrepreneurs experts and businesses to achieve

27:41

success in life and business with impactful solutions for their messaging

27:46

marketing and content so that is a mix of speaking to the who

27:52

right visionary entrepreneurs i spoke to the why of those beliefs you know you can even

27:58

insert some of your belief statements into here and then what is it that we're doing we're going to be empowering

28:05

these entrepreneurs to achieve success in life in business with impactful

28:11

solutions for their messaging so how they talk about what they do their marketing how they get that message out to the

28:18

masses and then content we believe

28:23

the people who change the world are the ones who take a stand for what they believe in

28:29

reiterating some of those statements i said before share that message with content and by others and to their shared purpose so

28:35

it's an invite always when you share an influential message you're doing so in a way that invites

28:40

people into that story that's about them every time so that is uh those are some

28:47

of the main pieces um i would i would begin with um i would begin really with our vision uh

28:54

first and foremost actually uh i know we're talking a lot about belief-based messaging here

28:59

creating these belief statements but when you know what the future is that you want for yourself for your family

29:05

for your community for your customers community clearly what that looks like

29:10

um and even go as far like i mean i can expand upon this vision by the way to communicate like what is that what

29:17

does that that climatic see that end scene of a movie look like after everything's resolved when life

29:24

looks so good who are you surrounded by what are you

29:29

doing what does life look like what does the business look like is it a 10 million dollar business is it

29:37

100 million business is it maybe just a million dollar business you have a small team yet you are you

29:43

have the freedom of time of finances to give back and to serve people

29:48

um and so describing what that looks like um and oftentimes those can be broken down even to results-based bullet points

29:57

uh i've got examples of my on my website of what results look like after someone

30:03

follows the video supply process so get clear on what that vision that

30:08

future looks like and then as you do that then i would step into the belief

30:14

statements next because the belief statements really are going to bridge

30:19

the divide the small divide but the divide between your vision and your mission because then you can

30:26

filter all your decisions and what you write and do through these belief statements so

30:32

writing out belief statements like and start with your personal beliefs your personal values like what do you believe um and i'm not

30:40

asking you to get religious here or political here or even super social here

30:45

but just communicate you know like what uh what do you currently filter your decisions through each day do you

30:52

believe that you know it's important to have time with family to have time freedom do you believe that everyone should have

30:59

uh time freedom um right now and in their future to do what

31:04

they want with their time and to give back do you do you believe people should be more charitable do you you know like

31:11

do you believe like just just writing out what you believe just

31:17

brainstorm it spend that time and sit in that silence and a lot of these beliefs you'll find

31:24

are going to be done through this sense of identity and belonging

31:29

that when you communicate these belief statements people feel like hey i can identify with that and i want

31:35

to be a part of these beliefs as well i want to take ownership over these beliefs

31:41

so these belief statements get those written out and then go down to your mission

31:48

communicate what it is your mission is who is involved with it and why you're doing it it's your big why

31:55

and then you can fit some of your belief statements some elements of those and to your mission statement but also um

32:03

communicate what is that journey that you your team even your family

32:10

your customers need to go on what needs to be achieved in order to then achieve and build that vision that you

32:18

have this is where belief based messaging is born out of it

32:23

is inviting people into also believing with you what you believe okay

32:30

so what uh what do you think about that did you like it you're like hey i'm

32:37

looking for a little more clarity i would love to develop more belief statements but um

32:42

i don't know where to begin or maybe you're like hey i'm loving this i'm gonna kind of workshop this on my

32:48

34:33

um one comment that came up which is let's see from kyle is this a small

34:39

scale thing or a large scale focus i want to get more into creating content on youtube and instagram

34:45

is something like this crucial on that small stuff a small side hustle type stuff

34:52

yes i would say so um don't let it you from just getting started uh

34:58

you know showing up on different channels instagram youtube linkedin tick tock you

35:03

know the list goes on in channels but having this kind of clarity allows you to begin with the end of mind

35:09

because if you don't know what kind of story you want to invite your audience into

35:15

then you'll kind of be jumping back and forth to know hey like who am exactly am i

35:21

talking to what am i trying to help them do and uh and so you know it definitely shouldn't you

35:27

know it doesn't have to be the first step for you to get started but as long as you allow yourself to start creating

35:33

start removing those mindset technology and environment barriers that exist getting those

35:39

messages out there and oftentimes that voice and that clarity of your mission your vision and those belief statements

35:45

will come as you take action uh but yeah i would recommend doing it as early on as possible as you

35:52

can um but not yeah not letting it stop you from simply just taking action and creating

35:59

uh so hopefully that was helpful and that was a really good point like i

36:04
