On this episode of the Thinking Big Podcast, Sean Osborn welcomes Marissa Nehlsen, also known as the Energizer Bunny. Marissa is a money and business strategist who helps people live life rich in five core areas: emotionally, relationally, spiritually, physically, and financially.

Marissa shares her inspiring story of turning $5 into financial freedom, starting with booking appointments for an insurance agent to owning seven multi-million dollar businesses today. Her journey began in a trailer court where she struggled to make ends meet, but she persevered and transformed her life. Marissa's success stems from her ability to identify people's needs and pain points and provide solutions using her expertise.

During the podcast, Marissa and I also discuss the importance of decision-making, mindset, and finding the thing that sets your soul on fire. Marissa emphasizes the value of asking questions, seeking knowledge, and helping others to achieve success.

Marissa is a money and business strategist. Over her 28-year career she has helped thousands of business owners and entrepreneurs worldwide learn the systems, structures, and strategies that teach, not just the "what and why", but the "how to", to minimize their taxes and maximize their profits.

As a money and business strategist, Marissa has been recognized as one of the nations leading experts on building wealth, minimizing taxes, and repositioning profits. She has built multiple multi-million dollar companies for herself and thousands of her clients. As an active philanthropist, when she isn't helping business owners future-proof their businesses around the world, she can be found on her mountain, changing lives in Costa Rica through the Foundation of Latin America.

Why is understanding your DRIVING FORCE so important to understand?

It is important to understand they are not goals nor merely desires, but profound needs that underlie and motivate every choice, every belief, and every decision we make.

Because they are the driving force behind any person’s behavior, understanding the needs and the vehicles used to meet them, we will have a better understanding of why life is the way it is currently and more importantly, how to facilitate change.

In this episode of the Thinking Big Podcast, we dive into what persistence is and the three key ingredients you need to create it.

We explore why persistence is crucial in achieving success and reaching your goals, and how it makes us strong and resilient.

From a neuroscience perspective, we learn about the brain's ability to regulate motivation and focus in the face of adversity, and how dopamine, the "feel-good" neurotransmitter, reinforces our behavior and helps us persist in our efforts.

We also discuss the different forms of persistence, including emotional, physical, and mental persistence, and how having a clear vision, belief in yourself, and a solid plan drives us forward in the face of adversity.

We learn about the importance of staying the course, even when faced with obstacles and distractions, and how understanding that every obstacle brings with it an equivalent advantage builds even more persistence.

Persistence is a crucial component in achieving success and reaching your goals, and by embracing its power, we can persevere in the pursuit of our dreams and opportunities, just like the stream that wins over the rock through its unwavering perseverance.

Life can be overwhelming and chaotic without a clear plan. People often find themselves struggling to keep up with the demands of daily life, feeling like they're always running on a treadmill without any direction. They waste time and energy on things that don't matter and never seem to get closer to their goals.

The lack of organization can lead to stress, burnout, and frustration. People can feel like they're constantly falling behind and never able to catch up. They may struggle with decision-making and find themselves constantly second-guessing themselves, which can lead to anxiety and low self-esteem.

An organized plan can bring clarity and direction to your life. When you have a plan in place, you know exactly what you need to do and when to do it. You can prioritize your goals, manage your time more effectively, and stay focused on what's most important. By having an organized plan, you'll be able to achieve more, feel more in control, and experience greater peace of mind.

Good organized planning starts with a question:

What is it that you want this year?
What are you really after and why?

Do you have a clear picture of what of what it is you want this year — in your relationships, your health, your finances?

How can we possibly blueprint and plan for our year, if we don't even know what we want?

Win Your Year Before Your Year Begins

This week we will discuss the concept and framework I use and teach for organized planning, and that is:

• winning your year before your year begins
• winning your quarter before your quarter begins
• winning your month before your month begins
• winning your week before your week begins
• And finally, winning your day before your day begins

Tips for Pursuing Multiple Career Paths Simultaneously, From Someone Who's Done It: An Interview With Chris Sherwin

In today's episode of the thinking big podcast we talk with Chris Sherwin, he started out in business administration earning his MA and BSBA in just 3.5 years and his MBA in two years. As a Controller for a worldwide software company, and a CFO of $30 million, details and processes soon became his most valuable skill. He took an interesting turn in his career after an incident in life led him to pursue law enforcement and public service. He served as a police officer for 20 years and simultaneously began his own private security company demonstrating that you can fulfill all of your goals and dreams in life with the right mindset.

5 Key Take Aways From The Episode

• Chris Sherwin has an interesting background, having gone from being a controller for a 30 million company to being a police officer.

• He made the switch because he always wanted to be a policeman and was inspired by the professionalism of the officers who responded to a domestic disturbance at his old job.

• He started his own security company, which was successful due to its low prices and good service.

• Being a police officer is becoming increasingly difficult, as there is more polarization in the country between civilians and law enforcement.

• This is when three cops started a podcast called "The Three Cops Talk" in order to open up a dialogue between police officers and civilians.

Every day, we get stuck in the same habits and routines. We go through the motions, but we don’t put much thought into why we do what we do. It’s not that we don’t want to, it’s just that our brain operates in one of two states - survival or executive. The latter is where hidden powers like critical thinking, creativity, and empathy come from - yet most people spend 70% of their time in the survival state due to things like stress, anxiety, and fear. This limits our growth as individuals and blocks us from unlocking our full potential.

What causes us to stay in a survival state? Today we are talking with Dr. Eugene Choi about numerous reasons why this happens, and regardless of the cause, the important to recognize when you’re stuck in this state so you can take steps to break out of it.

When you start spending less time in the survival state and more time in an executive state, amazing things can happen. You become better equipped with tools like problem solving skills and creative thinking which allow you to reach higher levels of success both professionally and personally. In addition, being able to think critically allows us to navigate challenging situations with greater ease - making it easier for us reach our goals without getting sidetracked or overwhelmed by obstacles along the way.

My biggest takeaways from todays episode are:

• Our brain operates either in a survival state (fear/threat) or an executive state (problem solving/decision making). Research shows that our brain is in the executive state only 30% of the time.
• The survival state is triggered by emotions like frustration, anxiety, anger, and fear.
• When you're in survival mode, your body is actually thinking it's about to die. This affects every part of our life - from our relationships to our health.
• Flight response is when we procrastinate or run away from people literally or figuratively. Freeze is when you are paralyzed in fear and trauma can lead to dissociation from the current moment.
• All feelings are just memories of past experiences and imposter syndrome might be caused by a memory of feeling like you don't matter
• The brain is easily fooled into thinking something is real when it may not be, which can lead to confirmation bias.
• Emotional pain can feel just as painful as physical pain, and the brain views it as a threat.
• What if feelings are actually your mind's way of trying to help you move back towards balance?

Dr. Eugene K. Choi Pharm. D is a Transformational Mindset Coach and a board-certified clinical pharmacist that is on a mission to help talented heart-driven leaders operate at their highest levels of performance, intelligence, and communication. He firmly believes that by activating the powerful executive brain, it maximizes results not just in business leaders, but in humanity as a whole. His expertise has also resulted in him generating over 9 million views on his online articles and over 30 million views on his short films. He has also worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs to help them optimize their mindset and strategy in order to grow their businesses and generate more revenue and impact.

So settle in and let’s get started!

Stories

First up, One of our most popular podcast episodes "If you can tell a good story, people will pay to hear it" With Guest Kyle Gray

If you’re an entrepreneur you already know or will learn the lesson quickly that people connect with stories, it’s been that way since the beginning of mankind.

And today we have a great guest with us, Kyle Gray from the story engine

Marketing

Our other top-ranked episode was all about marketing and how marketing is about opening a relationship and NOT closing the deal with with my friend Duane Zingale

The market is savvy, and people are getting smarter about marketing; which means the old tactics of a shark and the used car salesman won't work anymore.

You can become more in tune with new ways of marketing by being curious or passionate about learning these skills.

In this episode of the show, we talk with Duane about his philosophy that marketing is not about closing the deal, it's about opening a relationship and how we can automate this process. He believes that the art of marketing should always be framed in terms of relationships rather than transactions. We explore how to build trust through transparency and authenticity as well as how to use storytelling to create an emotional connection between your brand and your customers. This episode will give you practical strategies to help you manage your brand and humanize your business.

You will learn a lot from this episode and how to apply it to your own business, side hustle, and personal life.

The Power of Masterminds

Finally, There's a seldom-discussed concept behind the success of every renowned athlete, famous musician, successful entrepreneur, or even business leader I know, and virtually everyone you can think of. 

No, it isn't because they have an outstanding IQ or academic record, the right family name, or good looks.

Here is the secret element - each of these people has surrounded themselves with other successful people, and they have all used the Mastermind Principle.

A mastermind group sounds like something that would be the exclusive realm of super-successful people, but it’s not. It can actually help anyone who wants to make progress in any area of life, from improving your career to growing as a person.

In fact, many people have found out they were using this tool without even realizing it! A mastermind group is simply two or more growth-minded individuals with goals and aspirations, meeting regularly to share information, ideas, and resources for mutual success.

Today we get to talk with Sahara Rose, and that is exactly what she did. Sahara is a Wellness Travel Coach and the Founder of The Travel Coach Network. After traveling to 84 countries solo, Sahara saw voids and shortages in the tourism industry which led to her creating the world's very first platform for certified travel coaches around the world.

Sahara is a TEDx speaker, published author, global speaker, and has been seen in 120+ media outlets for her expertise including Forbes, Business Insider, Conde Nast Traveller, and Travel Weekly.

Traveling is one of the best ways to learn more about yourself and the world around you. It allows us to explore different cultures, try new things, and gain insight into ourselves that we never knew before.

My Biggest Take Aways From This Episode:

• Sahara Rose started her own travel coaching business to help others get the most out of their travel experiences
• The biggest reasons people want to travel are to get off the beaten path, have new experiences, and find purpose
• One of the biggest lessons that can be learned from travel is that happiness does not come from material possessions. This is evident in poor countries where the people are often some of the happiest you will ever meet.
• Travel coaching is a way to help people reflect on what travel means to them and how they can use it to improve their lives.
• The pandemic has caused many people to reevaluate their relationship with work and travel, and there is an increasing demand for remote work options that allow for more flexibility.
• Travel coaching is a great way to start a side gig and can be done on your own time if you are certified.
