Momentum for the Entrepreneurial Personality Type (EPT)
913 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 1 month ago - ★★★★★ - 359 ratingsThe Momentum Podcast is for those who of us who think differently — made especially for empire builders, game-changers, trailblazers, record makers, and creators of all kinds. Those among us who can’t turn it off, and don’t know why anyone would want to. We challenge complacency, destroy apathy, and we are obsessed with creating momentum.
While the rest of the world strives for average and clings desperately to the status quo, you and I are compelled to move forward and change the world.
We are the minority, the few, who are willing to hallucinate there could be a better future. Instead of just daydreaming of what could be, we endure the vulnerability and exposure it takes to make it real. We are the evolutionary hunters. The most important people in the world because entrepreneurs are the only source of consistent, positive human evolution, and we always will be.

604 - Crisis Predications Part 2
April 02, 2020 07:30 - 14 minutes - 20.3 MBThe reality of what is going to happen here is finally starting to set in. The White House released an estimate today that we could have 100,000 to 240,000 deaths from this virus. The reason they updated their previous estimate is that the math is finally setting in. The reality of New York is very real. This is going to be an unprecedented financial and human crisis. As entrepreneurs, we should understand what the most likely scenario is. Not the politicized scenario but the one that is pr...
603 - Crisis Predictions
April 01, 2020 07:30 - 26 minutes - 36 MBAfter reviewing the numbers over the past week, I have some predictions about what we are going to be dealing with moving forward. The world as we know it has completely changed, and we will be recovering from this for a long time. Entrepreneurs around the world are making a difference, and I want you to know that it is a lasting difference. I know a lot of people are waiting for things to go back to "normal”. We are going to be building a new normal for a long time. In this episode of the...
602 - Process Will Set You Free, and in This Market it Will Save You
March 31, 2020 07:30 - 17 minutes - 24.1 MBAs entrepreneurs we fight process, structure, and routine, it's just part of who we are. I know I thought these are for years. I felt like creating process, structure, and routine was going to limit my creativity, it was way too controlling, it was going to take away the freedom I want it as an entrepreneur. Today I can't believe I ever thought any of those things. Process, structure, and routine have all created freedom in my life that I have been wanting forever. The freedom to do what I...
601 - Your Business Can Be Predictable, Even in a Crisis
March 30, 2020 07:30 - 13 minutes - 19.2 MBWhen I was just getting started as an entrepreneur, the word "predictable" sounded negative to me. I wanted things to be exciting, spontaneous, I wanted to freedom, predictability seemed like a step in the wrong direction. As my business grew, and I got busier, I started realizing that without predictability, I wasn't going to make it. Things got so overwhelming so fast that I felt like I was doing everything, falling behind on a daily basis, and I was constantly overwhelmed. I went from lov...
600 - Stand Out and Be Heard, Even in a Crisis
March 27, 2020 07:30 - 17 minutes - 23.6 MBWorking with entrepreneurs has shown me that we are the most consistent source of positive momentum for humanity. Here’s what’s going to happen in this crisis. Entrepreneurs are going to rise above the noise. We’re going to identify the opportunities that are there, see a way to move things forward, grab hold of it, take it forward, get into momentum, and bring the world with us. The world needs us now more than it ever has. I want this episode of the Momentum Podcast to encourage you. Don...
599 - Document Core Processes to Thrive
March 26, 2020 07:30 - 13 minutes - 18.2 MBIn a crisis or any other time, efficiency is critical in business. One of the recurring issues we see in almost all businesses is that the core processes, the ones that create revenue for the business, are often undocumented and unclear. Having documented processes will separate your business from the crowd and make your business real. These define the foundation of what your business does and who your business is. One of the fastest ways to get your business into momentum is to document you...
598 - Crisis Proof Your Day
March 25, 2020 07:30 - 14 minutes - 20 MBAs a leader of your business, you are the most important person on the team every day. When you take care of yourself first, you are able to take care of your team and move things forward. Today more than ever as leaders we need to be aware, present, and able to make the right decisions. The reality is that, as a leader in your business, your team will respond to the way you show up, now more than ever before. Being present and showing up in the right way will create confidence in your team ...
597 - Know Your Worst-Case Scenario
March 24, 2020 07:30 - 16 minutes - 22 MBCrises create ambiguity. Ambiguity creates insecurity. Insecurity will rob your momentum. The first thing to do in a crisis is to eliminate ambiguity and understand your financial situation. It is a challenging place to go in challenging times, but understanding exactly what is happening for you and your business financially will provide an invaluable perspective into how your business can start to recover and overcome the current market. Very few people go straight to the worst-case scena...
596 - Process Creates Positive Thinking
March 23, 2020 07:30 - 7 minutes - 10.8 MBWhen someone says something like “all we need to do is think positive.” I will admit that I am immediately irritated. If all it took for people to move forward in the world was thinking positive, we would all think positive and everything will be resolved. Especially in a crisis situation, that's just not how it works. If you are trying to white knuckle or use will power to create positive thinking, it just won't work. The higher the pressure and noise, the more difficult it is to remain pos...
595 - How to Go Virtual Fast
March 20, 2020 07:30 - 12 minutes - 17.5 MBThere is no denying the need for businesses all around the world to transition to a virtual environment in a rapid and effective way. The challenge of the current market is that people are restricted from being in the same room with one another, but the technology and the mindset of the world has never been more poised to make this happen. You can take your team and business virtual quickly and effectively if you follow a clear process, and I want to show you how to do it. In this episode ...
594 - Process Calms Entrepreneurial Anxiety
March 19, 2020 07:30 - 9 minutes - 13.7 MBIn moments of panic and overwhelm, one constant keeps entrepreneurs like you and me grounded, present, and magnetic: Process. Process is what sets you free in your business, and it is what creates momentum for you in challenging times. The market right now is volatile, overwhelming, and scary, but there is hope for entrepreneurs around the world in process. In this episode of the Momentum Podcast, I want to take you through a series of simple, yet powerful processes that you can implement ...
593 - Entrepreneurial Mindset for Challenging Times
March 18, 2020 07:30 - 13 minutes - 19.2 MBMy wife, Cadey, and I have built businesses that have helped thousands of entrepreneurs navigate crisis situations. We helped thousands of entrepreneurs navigate a financial crisis that was brought on by the market, personal issues, and challenges in their business. There is a way to successfully navigate challenging times for entrepreneurs and the good news is that we can do it successfully every time. I’ve seen it, coached it, and implemented it myself in order to build successful busines...
592 - Decision Making in a Crisis
March 17, 2020 07:30 - 13 minutes - 18.1 MBIn the midst of a global crisis, entrepreneurs around the world are overwhelmed with decisions that must be made in order to survive. In 2007, I faced a very similar situation with the U.S. economic collapse that sent my wife and me spiraling into bankruptcy. That situation was one of the most humbling and devastating experiences I’ve ever gone through, but it taught me the importance of decision-making in crisis situations. Within a year, Cadey and I were liquid millionaires once more, and ...
591 - Interview with Molly Keyser
March 10, 2020 07:30 - 23 minutes - 32.1 MBMolly Keyser has been our client twice. Yes, you read that right: two times. She first came and had amazing results with my program, went on her own, and returned 6 months later willing to learn again, but this time with her business on a whole new level. I invited Molly as a guest on today's podcast because she has an incredible amount of experience on how to run a business—now in two different stages of growth. Molly is an off the charts creative that runs a one of a kind company, Boudi...
590 - The Answer is NOT Sales and Marketing
March 03, 2020 15:55 - 16 minutes - 23 MBOn today’s episode, I invited Jeremy Bergeron (the business strategist for our company) to discuss the biggest problem that he hears from the dozens of entrepreneurs he talks to every week. Jeremy points out how almost all entrepreneurs that he has worked with think they have a sales and marketing problem. But in reality, we have found some key components that are NOT sales and marketing, and that, when fixed, has transformed the hundreds of businesses we have helped in our consulting progra...
589 - Interview with Rachel Miller
February 25, 2020 08:30 - 23 minutes - 32.5 MBIn today’s episode, I have the privilege of interviewing an entrepreneur who is a massive inspiration for me. Rachel Miller doesn’t just run a multimillion-dollar business, work with some of the top names in the market today, and help thousands of entrepreneurs grow their businesses, but she’s also a mom of six who runs a household at the same time she’s running a business. In a world where many people create excuses, Rachel creates possibilities. On this podcast, we will share the ‘horri...
588 - The Real Predictability Problem
February 18, 2020 08:30 - 17 minutes - 23.5 MBThere's an epidemic today that I see over and over again. When I attend events, when I speak to groups of entrepreneurs, when I do Q&As, there's this epidemic of entrepreneurs creating a business, growing it, making a contribution and then, and when the business stumbles or doesn't grow like they want, here's what entrepreneurs do: We all blame ourselves. We ask the question, What's wrong with me? What do I need to improve about myself? What do I need to change about myself? How do I need to...
587 - Be Wrong More Often
February 11, 2020 08:30 - 20 minutes - 28.4 MBOne of the greatest lessons that I learned in leading and growing teams is that it's okay to be wrong. I spent the first large percentage of my career trying never to be wrong and never let them see me sweat. It was when I finally realized that accepting where I was wrong is what was necessary for my company to grow that my life and my business both turned around. On today’s podcast, I will show you what happens on the highest level of business, how I almost got killed trying to prove that...
586 - Habitually Create a Performance Culture
February 04, 2020 13:41 - 15 minutes - 21.8 MBFor some companies building a culture means parties, get-togethers for lunch, happy hours, and beer kegs with taps in their break room. For me, it means something completely different. So let me show a path that I have been using successfully and why I believe it's so important to build the right type of culture if you expect to get real results in your business. Your business's culture should be the glue that holds your company together. It should be the way that you bring in the right pe...
585 - The Solopreneur Fantasy
January 28, 2020 08:30 - 11 minutes - 15.4 MBBeing a solopreneur is a fantasy. This conversation happens so often in the entrepreneurial world. Entrepreneurs have the idea in their head that they don’t need anybody else in order to grow their business to where they want to be. They think they can do it all themselves, and that a team would only slow them down. The problem with this line of thinking is that there is not a single entrepreneur in the history of the world who was able to build the business of their dreams without a team. I...
584 - It Isn't Your Mindset That is the Issue
January 21, 2020 08:30 - 18 minutes - 25.9 MBOn a recent live training I held for entrepreneurs of every size business, I had the opportunity to speak directly to an issue in the business of a very special entrepreneur. We had an amazing conversation, and it started out--as it does for so many entrepreneurs who are running multimillion-dollar businesses--with her feeling like there was something wrong with her. She felt like she needed to shift her mindset or change her thinking around this issue. Something she was doing in front of he...
583 - Plan to Break the Biggest Bottleneck
January 14, 2020 08:30 - 15 minutes - 21.4 MBIn an entrepreneurial business, the most common issue I’ve encountered is that the entrepreneur in charge is buried by the responsibilities of running and growing that business on a day-to-day basis. More often than not, entrepreneurs say that they are drowning in things that need to get done. At the end of the day, they look at what they still have left to do and wonder how in the world they are going to get it done. It’s as if the entire business is hitting a bottleneck and there is no end...
582 - Interview with Dr. Stephanie Estima
January 07, 2020 16:00 - 21 minutes - 29.5 MBThere are times in an entrepreneur’s life when they can feel stuck, trapped, and suffocated by their business. In service-based industries, this reality can completely stifle growth and cause the entrepreneur to feel pain every time they think about their business. It can feel like there is no escaping the day-to-day issues of serving clients directly, but there is hope for every entrepreneur with a medical practice, law firm, or any other service business. In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Est...
581 - The Integrator Myth
December 31, 2019 08:30 - 19 minutes - 26.2 MBFor visionary entrepreneurs, one of the biggest fantasies out there is to hire one person who is going to do all the things in our business that we don’t want to do, so we can stay in the visionary seat and grow our business without any frustration or pain. It feels like if we could only find the person that would take care of all of the details, we could stay in our zone of genius. The issue is, it takes a lot more than just a person; it takes an entire system to protect and support an entr...
580 - Survive Q4 With a Team
December 24, 2019 14:44 - 15 minutes - 21.5 MBGrowing a business, building a team, and getting people to work together isn’t easy. While these things are hard enough on their own, they are infinitely more difficult when you get thrown a curveball. In my experience, the biggest challenges and speed bumps come around the fourth quarter. In fact, the fourth quarter of every year is like a minefield for entrepreneurs. If you have a team and you don’t anticipate or prepare for this time of year, you’re going to start seeing behaviors ...
579 - An Interview with Dr. Nancy Miggins
December 17, 2019 08:30 - 15 minutes - 21.9 MBThere are a lot of ways to create success in the world today, but there’s one way that’s often overlooked and undervalued - drinking water. You don’t realize how much resistance and constraint you are experiencing from dehydration until you are hydrated. As I often say, water is a gateway drug to success. To show you just how life-changing being hydrated can be, I invited Dr. Nancy Miggins on the podcast. She’s going to share insights with you on drinking water and how our free Natura...
578 - Consistency Scales
December 13, 2019 08:30 - 13 minutes - 18.6 MBThere’s a massive difference between what actually grows businesses and what most people sell and market to entrepreneurs. If you’re lucky, over the top promotions may generate success for you in the short term, but it doesn’t create sustainable growth. The fact is, consistency over time scales a business, and it’s about the only thing that does. With so many entrepreneurs being misled and going in the wrong direction today, this is a topic I’m passionate about and felt compelled to d...
577 - Nearly Bankrupt to Booming with Marley Baird Pt. 2
December 10, 2019 08:30 - 24 minutes - 33.4 MBThe podcast episode I did a few months ago with our client, Marley Baird, turned out to be the most sought after and high-performing episode we've had in the last six months. As promised, Marley came back on the show for part 2 of that episode to give us an update. We dive into what's happened in her business and with her team since we last spoke, and reveal if she ended up going bankrupt or if she made it through. Also, make sure to listen until the very end so you hear ...
576 - The Charfen Process
December 06, 2019 08:30 - 16 minutes - 22.6 MBIn this episode, I’m going to share with you the strategies we teach entrepreneurs to achieve massive growth. Entrepreneurs from all over the world have applied our concepts and grown their business like crazy. Our systems work, and there’s a reason. We show them exactly how to grow their business through our simple 5 step framework called The Charfen Process. This episode is a must-hear for CEOs. Because as a CEO, when you go through a process like this, you start to build more trust...
575 - Caution: One on One
December 03, 2019 08:30 - 14 minutes - 20.6 MBAs many of you know, I used to be a one on one consultant for over a decade. With that said, today’s podcast topic is going to be one that will seem very surprising coming from me. I want to talk about why one on one coaching or consulting may not be your best option, and how it may end up hurting you rather than helping you. If you are currently working with someone one on one or plan to in the near future, listen to this episode first and then proceed with caution. In most cases, w...
574 - Stop Chasing Transformation
November 29, 2019 08:30 - 16 minutes - 23.3 MBEntrepreneurs are addicted to transformation. There’s that burning desire in us to grow, evolve, do more, and achieve more. The problem is, our hope for change leads us to chase transformation rather than chasing an outcome. As entrepreneurs, we need to know where we are going. We need a plan in place with clear expectations. Otherwise, we are unconsciously consuming, and that becomes the activity we focus on. But when we chase outcomes rather than transformation, everything in our liv...
573 - Consulting Malpractice
November 26, 2019 08:30 - 17 minutes - 23.6 MBIn this episode, we’re going to discuss consulting malpractice and just how damaging it can be. But before we dive in further, I want to forewarn you that this topic is a massive trigger for me. Far too many consultants give bad advice, experiment on successful organizations, have absolutely no track record, and really no business consulting entrepreneurs in the first place. I share a story in this episode that, unfortunately, isn’t uncommon. Consulting malpractice happens all the t...
572 - Passenger Status
November 22, 2019 08:30 - 18 minutes - 25.3 MBAs promised in last week’s episode, in this podcast, I want to discuss becoming a passenger in your business. When I was at Taki Moore’s event this past week, I was in a room full of million-dollar+ coaches, and I shared with them the goal we have for our clients - to get them to passenger status. Since this group had a ton of questions and took such an interest in the topic, I knew it was time to revisit it on our podcast. Let’s be real, visionary entrepreneurs are not great at ru...
571 - Trust Creates Scale
November 19, 2019 08:30 - 12 minutes - 17.4 MBI just wrapped up another event with Taki Moore in Southern California. I had the privilege to speak to his higher-level board room this week, and I want to share with you all the same message I shared with them - that trust creates scale. One of the fastest ways to grow your business is to build trust with your team, and in this episode, I share with you exactly how. When entrepreneurs get to the point in their business where the success they can create alone is no longer enough, tha...
570 - Your Momentum Equation
November 15, 2019 08:30 - 16 minutes - 23 MBWhen we as entrepreneurs finally understand how we can create momentum, things shift in our lives for the better. In this episode, we’re going to walk through an important exercise I call the Momentum Equation. I’m going to share with you the framework and questions that work universally to create success and identify clear patterns of growth. Simply by thinking of periods of momentum in your life and answering three questions, you can revisit the momentum in your past, apply those le...

In this episode, I share with you the most productive way to run a business and things you should work towards if you want to create a culture of winning. My team and I have had what I’m about to share with you set in place for a while, but this past week we reiterated it...I’m not able to change things in the business, and there’s a good reason why. I can’t change my team’s ...

567 - Everything Happens for a Reason
November 05, 2019 08:30 - 16 minutes - 22.1 MBWhen I was a kid, my mom had this saying when something challenging happened - everything happens for a reason, let’s find the reason. When I was younger, I fought it. But as an adult, this saying has proven true. Regardless of what’s happened in my life, everything has happened for a reason. In this episode, I share with you a few examples of challenges I’ve faced and what reasons I’ve found for them. We talk about everything from my bankruptcy to a panic attack at an old job. I also...
566 - I'm Back, Notes on My Sabbatical
November 01, 2019 07:30 - 16 minutes - 23.2 MBYou read the title right; I’m back. You’ve probably noticed that in the last five weeks, I haven’t recorded a single podcast episode. If you don’t follow me on social media or subscribe to our emails, you probably don’t know this, but just recently I took over three weeks off from work. If you’re wondering why here it is...I needed time and space to process after my mom, and good friend Sean Stephenson passed away. After a big realization, I stepped out of my business and took time off socia...
