386. Shawn Finnegan, Tax Hive Creator and Master Network Connector Teaches Us How Its Done!

Shawn Finnegan is a successful entrepreneur and business connection expert based in Utah, USA. He has made a name for himself through his innovative strategies and exceptional networking skills.

Shawn’s passion for entrepreneurship began at an early age, as he witnessed each of his parents run their own successful businesses. After completing his education at Utah State University, Shawn managed divisions in the corporate world before pursuing his own endeavors.

Being in the trenches of both massive and small businesses, Shawn has discovered that any company’s success hinges on its ability to nurture genuine connections. He focuses on building professional relationships that mutually benefit all involved, emphasizing the importance of being authentic and transparent in all business interactions.

Quote #1

“So, you know, we purchased this building 15 years ago, got a really good price. Uh, we had a great tenant for a good decade, so COVID broke out and we lost our lease with that tenant.

And it was a very hard Monday. It was when the covid, like really hit commercial, we just got clobbered. So this, this space kind of stood vacant for a while.”

So it took us two years to build out what we have. As you can see, everything is is brand new sparkling cool. And our whole mission for doing that was to create a magnet for connecting with business owners. It’s great for business, great for advice, great for everything. To just create a place where the community can, can come together like you saw at the event.

 

Quote #2

“The big, the big companies out there get taken care of. But not the small people. Yeah. And so small business owner. So as a small business owner, you have access to 1400 potential deductions. Versus a W2 person who, can maybe take two or three. So we’re like, Hey, let’s make sure that these small business owners are educated, taking time for planning, and actually do it right because they can save themselves a lot of money, put that money back where it belongs in the business”

 

Quote #3

(On Kevin O’Leary from Shark Tank)

“Yeah, you know, the six degrees of separation are getting shorter. I think it’s down to like four degrees of separation these days. Mm-hmm. You know? True. Yeah. Very true. So Kevin, Kevin has been a, a stellar partner and he, and you’re, you’re obviously from what you said earlier, you’re not looking for a wall of stars, but to have somebody like that, um, representing your brand is, has gotta be just, uh, gotta be a grand slam because  the credibility factor is just awesome to have a shark there, you know?

Yeah. We get spikes, you know, certain things he’s been, you know, and what I love about guys like that and his brand. He spends a lot of time building relationships. He doesn’t have to, you know, he doesn’t.  He has got incredible businesses, but he just shows you how important relationships are. If you’re around individuals like that, he’s constantly on the phone just like you are”

FREE Chapter 1 Upcoming Release Here: https://PatriciaRogers360.com 

Quote #1

First of all, you are a visibility strategist. I’ve never heard anybody with that title?

 “Oh, visibility strategist. Yes, I developed that name after the pandemic. It shifted us to online. Before I was done, I called myself a business development strategist, but I always, hosted events. So, and I did some coaching things of that nature. So I sort of did several things”.

Quote #2

“I started following people like Bill Walsh, Nancy Matthews, women’s Prosperity Network, Trish, Carl those, and then of course I went to, to a lot of Les Brown’s events and things of that nature. I started, needed to go out and see what the entrepreneurs were doing. And then I would go to a lot of networking events before work, after, I think it was after work, networking.”

Quote #3

“I’m an outspoken person. I’m sure you know that. And yes, when you’re working in a predominantly male environment, sometimes less said to some people, it’s better. But when you are violating my rights, I go by what’s in the book because I read ’em. And if you violate, I don’t care who you are, I’m gonna stand up for what’s rightfully mine.”

“So I was passed over for three promotions, corporal, sergeant, and lieutenant. And I eventually persevered through all of the challenges, followed the rules, and of course I succeeded in every situation. And so eventually I did retire. Of course, that was my goal, to retire as a corrections Lieutenant and I retired in 2016 as a corrections lieutenant”

Quote #4

“And the reason I host those events, because I want all of us to know that we all have to kind of keep each other inspired and pushing. And I wanna be that example for the people who are sitting on the sidelines wanting to do but afraid to move. I wanna show them that baby, if you don’t do what I’m doing, ain’t nothing gonna happen.”

384. Chris Williams Master of Group Coach Nation, Where “Listening” Is Revered

My guest today is the creator of “Group Coach Nation” he is non other than the Master Coach Chris Williams.

Chris and I start and finish the interview with personal things, our kids, and, what do we love about life aside from our respective career callings.

In between there is a whole lot of value and take aways that Chris shares about coaching, mastermind sessions, and general principals of how to share value as a great coach!

Chris thinks bios are dumb and made his team write this. He loves his wife and five kids, and loves adventures.

Not your average hiking adventures, but more like shark diving, mountain climbing, and driving a dog sled across a frozen tundra-type adventures.

He teaches experts how to build, scale, and launch high-ticket masterminds. He also is a bestselling author, ranked as a Top 10 Podcast Guest, and has a top 0.001% podcast.

(gotta love the 0.001% podcast reference!)

 

Quote #1

“It’s all about communication. So, And so I started just really diving in on that and because I wasn’t a good writer, wasn’t good at at at school, honestly, but I could communicate and I could, I could sit down and learn to listen and learn to replicate what people were saying and, and emote back and repeat what they were saying and get the gist of it, and then ask more questions to help them arrive at their own solution”.

Quote #2

“So the skillset really is, is really shutting up and just asking questions and letting people get there.

And that’s, that’s the thing I. I really am fascinated with, as a coach, a group coach nation, we teach a lot of that because I think it’s so important as coaches, not just to dump our information, but to listen so people can make truth applicable to them”.

Quote #3

“And, and I wanna say something to that. One is it’s not bad to try again and again and again. Two, get a coach. And if that’s James, you’re, you’re here listening to James, right? You’re, you’re not on the show for me. Listen to James. If he’s your coach, ask him questions like ask your coach questions about what you’re doing.

Have, have outside voices. Be in a mastermind, be in a community. You can’t do this alone. Get real opinions from people who know what they’re talking about. Invent the ideas in a sandbox and it’s gonna give you a lot more attraction when you do step out cuz stepping out is expensive emotionally, financially, and relational”.

Quote #1

“So, long story short, there was a lot of businesses that were started, honestly, because that’s how entrepreneurship is. Until I, I finally, became in alignment with like who I was, which is part of my message that we’ll speak about today. But throughout my journey of entrepreneurship, I attended multiple masterminds.”

Quote#2

“And what I thought I was going to do, was going to corporations and train CEOs on emotional intelligence and how to do this and create the same environment and train their leaders, their C-Suite leaders.

378. Evan Money Part 2, Prefab, instead of Rehab, Make a Movie, In the Shower!

Happily Married, #1 Bestselling Author, Global Entrepreneur and Founder of the Marriage of Greatness movement.

“Many men can make a fortune, very few can build a family.”

It’s all about taking ACTION!

Quote#1

So when you got a V H S camcorder, that’s our little tool to film shorts and there’s no video editing like nowadays, right? You can do it on your phone. You got all, I mean, just the whole, you and I understand what it used to take to create content.

Quote#2

There’s gotta be a way to do this. And so I stood up and said, I’m gonna make a documentary and the next day in the shower, and here’s a lesson for the people in the shower. If you ever notice, uh, most people get great ideas in the shower. Yes, probably cuz their phone’s not in there with them. Yeah. Uh, hint And most people sadly leave their great ideas in the shower.

Quote#3

And so God gave me the vision, words of art. So I’m like, okay, let’s look at words as an art form. And so that’s where I started and I made an intention, got up off the couch and wouldn’t you know, James, the next weekend I’m at an event. And it’s one of these personal growth events. They got, you know, big names on the stage and then they have the sponsor, you know, ally, right, where everyone’s got their booths.

 

Prehab instead of Rehab!

Body Dysmorphia, and how Evan recognizes it and deals with it.

Course correcting is how our journey in life goes.

“My bride and I both come from normal dysfunctional families, raise your hand if you can relate” : )

When we first got married our starry eyed quest was to live happily ever after and bring each others dreams to life. The challenge was, we had no money, like an old cell phone battery we were always in the red. My bride had a low paying high stress job and I had a struggling business. We drove junky cars and lived in a postage stamp sized rental house. On top of that, I had major sexual baggage from a dark past that I’m still unpacking today. In-spite of all this we decided to have faith and dream big, we set a goal to get remarried in a different state or country every year.

 

With lot’s of prayer, action and creativity, we have been married over 20 times and yes we have had more than 20 honeymoons! Our story has been featured in media outlets around the world, but this is just the beginning of our story…

More Cool Evan Money Quotes:

“The grass is always greener where you water it”

“Ok, so if you want to make a personal growth documentary, here is the guy”

“Why is this taking so long, that’s what every film maker says about every film project”

377. Wanda Howard, Taking Back The Family To Where God Created Them To Be!

Wanda Howard is a parenting coach for those who love the abundance that God creates through the vehicle of business and how scaling as an entrepreneur brings great fulfillment in their life and they want to know how to bring that same feeling of purpose-driven success as a parent so that their kids can be emotionally healthy and confidently driven in their own life.

Quote#1

I believe that God did not send. Kids to us to say, okay, now you are the adult that should know all the answers and know exactly everything that they need. I think that he handpicked these amazing spirits for us because he knew that they had value.

Quote #2

I didn’t want my kids to feel that way. I didn’t want them to feel like they couldn’t make a decision without me. I wanted them to know, like how to use their very capable, uh, deduction, reasoning, brain like intelligence and make their own decisions. And if they make a wrong one, then they’re just better educated and that’s not a crime.

Quote#3

I predominantly do one-on-one coaching with parents, but I love to get to know their kids as well. So I love it when their kids have questions and to help them, and that’s lots of fun too.
