When things happen that are outside of our control, there are two very different paths we can take:

Path #1: Give in to fear, hide away from your big vision, and blame your problems on the world.

Path #2: RISE into your personal leadership, find the opportunity in your circumstances, and allow yourself to grow into the highest version of you, stronger than you were before.

Which path will you choose?

Whatever you decide, know this: how you show up today matters. Your reality 3 months from now, 6 months from now, years from now will be a reflection of how you show up today.

Your thoughts and decisions right now are creating your future.

In this week’s episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I’m sharing Part 3 of a series from the Rise Together Panel – Top Online Entrepreneurs Speak Out virtual event. Nine incredible 7-figure entrepreneurs grounded in their faith shared what they are doing in their businesses, lives, and families to RISE above the current circumstances and thrive.

This week on Part 3 of the series, you will hear from: Michelle Myers, Anna Powers, and Brian Dixon. Each panelist breaks down what’s working for them, what’s not, and how they are pivoting.

Together, we will RISE. Grab your pen and paper – here’s Part 3!

The biggest take-aways from today’s episode are:

  • “If you do not want to be unfruitful in this season, it is very simple: be creative, and do good by paying attention to real, pressing needs” – Michelle Myers

Michelle pulled this beautiful concept from Titus 3:14 and it couldn’t be more relevant to our current circumstances. Listen to the episode to hear her perspective on this verse and how she is applying it in her life and business. [14:05]

  • It’s really important right now that our message matches where our people are at.” – Anna Powers

More than ever, it is critical to understand that your audience is not YOU. Your audience may not think the same way as you, and it’s only by directly connecting with your people that you can truly understand what they need right now. Listen in to hear how Anna is connecting with her audience in these times. [27:00]

  • I think no matter what industry you’re in right now, you have an opportunity to directly engage your people – and that’s the highest level of service you can possibly provide.” – Brian Dixon

People everywhere are looking for connection right now. Many are feeling lonely, overwhelmed and like they don’t have a clear path. Your people need your expertise, your experience, and your message now more than ever. How can you show up for the people who need your help as an expert in your industry? [39:20] 

Rise. Pivot. Start.

Struggling to figure out your niche? 

The biggest hurdle I see struggling entrepreneurs make is figuring out who to help and how to help them. The fear of “choosing wrong” keeps them stuck for years (in fact, most end up never launching that course, program, or membership they’ve been dreaming of because of it). 

But successful entrepreneurs know that being known for something SPECIFIC is a key element of building an online business that allows you to create a massive impact and stop trading time for money. 

So let’s figure out what YOU will be known for! 

My good friend (and business mentor) James Wedmore is offering a LIVE masterclass to help you nail your niche!
