    EP274: How to Grow Your Business Using LinkedIn with Colin Hirdman
    2024/10/15

    How to Grow Your Business Using LinkedIn with Colin Hirdman

    Introduction: In this episode of Profit with a Plan, Marcia Riner is joined by Colin Hirdman, co-founder of Rainmaker, a company that helps business owners, coaches, and sales teams expand their LinkedIn networks and generate sales using little-known LinkedIn features. Colin shares insider tips on how to turn LinkedIn into a powerful business tool.

    Key Takeaways:

    1. Philosophy for LinkedIn Success:

      • Be authentic: Show up genuinely and communicate in your own voice.
      • Educational mindset: Focus on teaching, not selling.
      • Experiment: Be willing to test different strategies and improve over time.

    2. Audience Building:

      • Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator to build specific, targeted audiences.
      • Leverage LinkedIn events and thought leaders to connect with potential clients who are actively interested in relevant topics.

    3. Connection Strategies:

      • Reach out to 25 potential connections daily, aiming for around 500 connections per month.
      • Prioritize connecting with those who have mutual connections, as this increases the likelihood of engagement.
      • Avoid using sales messages in connection requests—keep it simple and genuine.

    4. Follow-Up Messaging:

      • After connecting, send a message that authentically thanks them—no hard sells.
      • Follow up a week later with added value, such as helpful resources, insightful questions, or relevant content.

    5. LinkedIn Live Streams:

      • Host weekly LinkedIn live streams to engage your network. Use the same content deck but target different audiences.
      • Follow up with attendees after the stream, providing value and a link to your calendar for a potential strategy call.

    6. Maintaining Relationships:

      • Avoid the hard sell; instead, build a relationship over time. Show value and expertise before asking for business.
      • Use LinkedIn's natural tools to nurture relationships, and consider moving conversations off-platform when appropriate.

    Closing Remarks: Colin emphasizes the power of using LinkedIn as a revenue driver while maintaining authenticity. By focusing on creating meaningful connections, providing education, and taking a thoughtful approach to growth, entrepreneurs can turn LinkedIn into a profitable tool.

    EP272: How to Boost Productivity and Overcome Overwhelm with Mark Struczewski, aka Mister Productivity
    2024/10/01

    How to Boost Productivity and Overcome Overwhelm with Mark Struczewski, aka Mister Productivity

    Welcome to another episode of Profit with a Plan! In this episode, Marcia Riner, Business Growth Strategist and CEO of Infinite Profit® tackles productivity with guest, Mark Struczewski, a Houston-based productivity coach and host of The Mister Productivity™ Podcast, who has recorded over 1,300 episodes. Mark shares his expert insights on eliminating overwhelm, boosting productivity, and maintaining focus. Whether you're a solopreneur or leading a team, this episode is packed with actionable tips to help you get more done without burning out.

    Key Talking Points:

    [00:02:01] Introduction to Mark Struczewski Marcia introduces Mark and his productivity journey, emphasizing his practical, actionable approach to managing time and eliminating distractions.

    [00:04:34] The Power of Quick Wins Mark discusses how focusing on a single, small task can help overcome feelings of overwhelm. He advises against trying to tackle everything at once, which only leads to frustration. Instead, find one quick win to build momentum.

    [00:12:15] Micro Breaks for Maximum Focus Mark highlights the importance of taking 3-5 minute micro breaks without technology to recharge your mind and body. He explains how stepping outside, grounding yourself, and taking in nature can refresh your energy and improve productivity.

    [00:17:10] Scheduling vs. To-Do Lists Mark explains why scheduling tasks on your calendar is more effective than relying on to-do lists. He shares his tip of blocking time for small, 5-15 minute tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed by long lists.

    [00:21:11] Personalizing Your Prime Time Mark emphasizes the importance of understanding your personal prime time for productivity. Whether you're an early riser or a night owl, schedule your most critical tasks during your peak performance hours.

    [00:26:40] Setting Clear Goals and Vision Mark explains how to align your daily activities with your long-term goals. He stresses the need to start with a clear vision, then work backward to create actionable goals that feed into your plan.

    [00:35:00] The Importance of Movement Mark talks about how regular movement—whether through standing desks, rebounders, or micro breaks—can significantly enhance productivity. He shares research from the blue zones, where active lifestyles lead to longer, healthier lives.

    [00:40:20] Multitasking Myth Mark debunks the myth of multitasking, explaining that most people are simply switching rapidly between tasks, which reduces overall efficiency. Focus on one task, bring it to completion, then move on to the next.

    Actionable Tips:
    1. Micro Breaks: Take 3-5 minute technology-free breaks throughout the day to reset your focus.
    2. Plan, Don’t List: Put your most important tasks on your calendar, not on a to-do list.
    3. Prioritize Your Prime Time: Identify when you're most productive and schedule your biggest tasks during that window.
    4. Get Moving: Incorporate physical movement throughout the day to stay energized and productive.
    5. Say No to Multitasking: Focus on one task at a time to improve efficiency and reduce stress.
