People Who

W elcome to the world of influential people. From social media, business, health/fitness to transfor-

mational leaders like self-help gurus, educators, authors, speakers, artists, coaches, trainers, and mentors. All are heroes too often invisible heroes. All are visionaries coming forward to bring a message of hope and possibilities and developing a platform for creativity and excellence.

Our definition of an influential person is someone who chooses to impact those around them for the better, someone who encourages people to think beyond their own life so that they will aspire to inspire others. Influence is not enforced but gently led by personal example and. education. While big media would convince us that the world’s influencers are all on the ‘main’ stage we at Influential People Magazine disagree. Yes, we may read a book or see someone in a news report, but those people are too distant from our own sphere to make them relatable. We know, it is those in our communities who truly influence us, who teach us and inspire us, not by one deed but by how we see them live. The team at Influential People believes passionately in spreading that message and understands the need to provide exposure for people on a local level. We work hard to provide a forum for coaches, mentors, authors, writers, trainers, speakers, business owners, entrepreneurs, photographers, event producers, health & wellness practitioners, teachers, icons, heroes. We consider these people to be leaders whose voice and a story has still to be told to the world. Influential People Magazine is known as a place for emerging Influencers. Will you be one or will you find your next mentor in our pages? Join us to find out. FOLLOW US AT:

JOHN WILLIAMS TOP INFLUENTIAL MARTIAL ARTS EXPERT EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW Dr. John Williams leaves no one behind, when he achieves his goals, he ensures others rise to success with him. John is titled Top Martial Arts Expert to look out for, he is also an Entrepreneur, Founder, Executive Director of Come on In, Inc. Pageant, Author, TV Show Host, and Humanitarian. He is the youngest of 14 children, John comes from a broken home in which his father had a third-grade education, and his mother had an eighth-grade education. Dr. Williams grew up in a house with alcoholism, constant fighting, molestation, and the belittling of constantly being told that he would never be anything and being raised by his oldest sister Mackie Le Varnado until age 9.. Dr. Williams failed the seventh grade three times, always having D’s and F’s and having difficulty reading and writing. But one day, Mrs. Etter Mae Robinson told John that he was smart, and he could be anything in life that he wanted to be. That was when Dr. Wil-

liams made a tremendous change in his life. With the improvement of his self-confidence and self-worth, Dr. Williams graduated with the Class of 1986. Upon graduation, he received two scholarships. Dr. Williams was the first of his 14 siblings to finish high school and attend college. He joined the United States Army in December of 1988 and received many awards over the ten years in which he served—and still furthering his education after the military. His awards list is too long to list. He is the epitome of success. The list of awards, educational certifications, and degrees are very distinguished. Dr. John Williams was a featured speaker and awarded Person of the Year at the Encounter Africa Conference on May 25th, 2018, in Ife, Nigeria, at Obafemi University. As seen on TV, John also graced the CNN Anthony Bourdain Lagos Tour. Dr. John added to his titles an Executive Producer of his Elite TV Show and a new book release. John is an incredibly talented successful man, all those that have met him enjoy being in his presence. Take the time to read our interview with Dr. John Williams where we delve into his personal and professional life, you will soon be inspired to take on anything, just like John.

IPM: As an entrepreneur, you are involved in numerous advocacy projects, can you tell us a little about yourself and how you got to where you are today? JOHN: As a child, I had many difficulties and withstood mental and physical abuse. I had difficulties reading and writing, as well as a built -up anger that was sure to land me in jail. I should have been in jail, I should have been dead, but God had bigger plans for my life. It was

through him that I made it through, and I can honestly say that I am a testimony. IPM: How did your background in martial arts set the stage for your expertise in martial arts teaching? JOHN: I started martial arts over 35 years ago. It was something I needed to control my built-up anger. I never envisioned that I would

WWW.INFLUENTIALPEOPLEMAGAZINE.COM

be teaching it. I found out I was rather good at it, so I took classes in many different styles to better myself. I became a champion about 8 years ago and remained that way until I retired in February 2021. I am so very blessed to have been a member of the Fighting Tigers Karate School under my brother Grandmaster Jesse Mack Williams, Grandmaster Roy Brown, Anthony’s Martial Arts School under Grand Master Anthony, MMASC under SGM Richard Osborn, as well as Tiger Rock Master Arron Tuck. In each school, I learned so much and begin to apply it in each of my fights which in turn made me a better fighter. I had some of the best instructors that made me and prep me for my success. Special thanks to our team at tiger rock Tae Kwon Do in Fountain Colorado. The best team of instructors… Mr. Edward Gunderson, Mrs. Chantel Crocker, Mrs. Sarah Stejskal, Mr. Shawn Schaff I believe we made a great team. I had great friends like Brandi Johnson, Charlotte Jeromin, Jennifer Boyd, Maria Lobdell, the Garcia Family, the Digby Family, and many more. We had a blast, and it is much more fun when you train with people that love to have fun while feeling the pain…lol. In Martial Arts, you will at some point become incredibly angry, whether it be you are having a bad day, or you will have someone in the class that is just being a huge distraction. This is when you must learn the art of focus of your anger and put your focus on what is at hand. You learn to control your anger

without losing your temper so fast. IPM: Was it difficult to get started?

JOHN: Martial Arts to me was something that I always wanted to do. I watched my brother when he was a champion in boxing and Martial Arts. I wanted to be like him, and I tried to emulate his style, but soon found 12

WWW.INFLUENTIALPEOPLEMAGAZINE.COM

that I had to pave my own path. Once you get over the fact that you are going to get hit and sometimes hit hard, you will then be well on your way. The only difficulty I had was having the money to afford classes. The rest I loved and some I learned from Kung Fu Theater on Saturday afternoon as a youngster. IPM: What is your vision goal for your martial arts teaching in 2021? JOHN: My vision for my team is to stay focused and train hard, as well as to aim to be the best YOU they can be. Everyone wants to be a Champion but not too many want to put the work in. IPM: What inspired you to start your career as a pageant director? JOHN: I came across many children with a dream of being in a

pageant but could not or did not have the funding. So, we took it upon ourselves to hold our pageants at the Holiday Inn and charge each person a $5.00 entry fee and make it as elegant as if we charged $300.00 or more to register. We had over 25 children and we told them to wear their Sunday best. THIS is when I knew we were on to a great thing. That was 1998 and we are yet to this day still having pageants. Our goal is to continue to go into the nursing homes and hold beauty pageants as well as seniors’ centers and show love to the forgotten people. IPM: Were there any difficulties you had while producing a pageant? JOHN: The difficulties were getting the right people in place. Once you realize and understand that no pageant will go off without its challenges than you will be well on your way. IPM: As a director of a Pageant, what is the important take away (your goal) for the pageantry that you want people to know about? JOHN: When you come to our pageants, I want you to walk away WIN, LOSE, or DRAW feeling like a winner. I want you to know that you are highly respected. IPM: We notice you have a new cologne line; can you share with us what made you want to create it? JOHN: My new cologne line stems from me

as a person loving to always smell good. I pride myself on smelling good and always

taking care of my personal hygiene. I travel a lot and am almost always talking up close with others. I am a very cognizant person, especially when it comes to my hygiene. When I traveled overseas, I loved the fragrances in Dubai, that is what I patented my cologne after. The name is from my brand name “ELITE MAN”. IPM: You recently became an author of a book; can you share with us what made you decide to write the book? JOHN: I wrote the book More than a Martial Artist because I

JOHN: The desire to see others smile and ease someone else’s struggle.

IPM: Do you have an important message you would like to share with our readers and entrepreneurs? JOHN: DON’T BE AFRAID TO FAIL

wanted everyone to see the other side of me. I love my humanitarian work, I love visiting the shut-in and feeding the homeless, and I love going to those places that no one wants to go to. This is why I am More Than a Martial Artist! IPM: We heard that you are starting your own TV show, can you share with our readers a little bit about the show? JOHN: God has blessed me to have my own TV show, as well

as my radio show. This all started because I was doing my podcast called Elite Hour of Power and it turned to Elite Motivational Moments with Dr. John Williams. This show will showcase everyday people with everyday problems and others that are willing to share their story. With this show, we can give others a voice and a platform to get their positive message out. IPM: You are actively involved and engaged in sponsoring a fundraiser to help providing toys, socks, and meals to the local homeless children for Christmas, can you share with us a little about it? JOHN: As a person that believes in the rule of NO PERSON left

behind, I have emerged myself in helping those that many have forgotten. I understand that everyone and every situation is different. My goal is to leave a positive legacy for my Grandchildren and beyond. I know as well as everyone else that you cannot save or help everyone, but as much as we can do our part we understand that every little bit helps. With the Sock drive and the Meals on wheels for the elderly as well as the Literacy program and now with the C.O.I.N Community Academy we can reach more and help more. With the C.O.I.N Community Academy, we are focusing on the adults that are 45 years and above who wish to receive their HIGH SCHOOL Diploma. We will continue to collect out Toys for children at Christmas time as well as our Teddy Bears for our nursing homes Hug -A -Bear campaign. IPM: What obstacles have you faced in the pursuit of being an entrepreneur, martial arts instructor, pageant director, author, TV show host, selling your own cologne line, and sponsoring a fundraiser, how did you overcome them? JOHN: Finding People That Truly believe in what you do and who you are. Some doors are only open for a little while so we must learn to walk through them before God chooses to close them. IPM: What motivates you to keep going in all that you do?

CO-AUTHOR BY VALEN VERGARA BEYOND “WHAT IF?”

Real Stories of How Purpose Turns Dreams Into Reality

Written by a collaboration of Napoleon Hill Foundation Certified Instructors and Students, each co-author adds their anecdote to the collective wisdom underlying Dr. Napoleon Hill’s 17-principle personal success philosophy. Dr. Hill developed the philosophy under the direction of American philanthropist and steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie. It was organized over a period of twenty years in which Hill spent conducting interviews and gathering research on what made achievers out of some 500+ of the most successful men of the early 1900’s. Likewise, he studied the non-achievers and came to understand that commonalities existed in the conduct, process, and methods used for both failure and success. He performed his work without compensation; a demonstration of persistence and self-discipline which are part of his documented science of achievement. Indeed, he utilized all aspects of his own philosophy throughout its very creation. The findings and workings of the success formula are time tested and still relevant today. It is unquantifiable how many millions of lives have been touched by Hill achieving his life’s Purpose and how many more to come will attribute their success to the principles and Hill’s most famous work – one of the best-selling books of all time - Think and Grow Rich. One need only be aware of the millions of his books continuing to be sold worldwide in multiple languages to gain a grandiose impression of how widespread the use of this philosophy is. Napoleon Hill lived from 1883 – 1970 and in addition to writing, spent his lifetime teaching, lecturing and leading by example through his motivational style influence. His outstanding achievements are the basis for most current leadership books and his literature has become the benchmark against which all other like-minded material is compared. Although Beyond What If mentions many of the other principles (because they all work synergistically), its general focus is on the principle of Definite Major Purpose (DMP) Definiteness of Purpose, or DMP, is one’s chief aim in life and the starting point of all achievement. It represents the single most prominent desire that you aspire to achieve, the fruits of which you are willing to leave as a monument to yourself or in other words, your legacy. Although we may have many minor purposes, Hill teaches that without an overall lifelong purpose, one is wasting the better portion of their life. Everyone wants the better things in life but most people never go beyond wishing for them. Dr. Hill challenges us to understand the crucial difference between a wish and having a burning desire to achieve something. With a burning desire to pursue and achieve your life’s goal, he believes you will be born again mentally, physically, and spiritually and gain the realization of your individual power and dignity as a unit of mankind. The Napoleon Hill Foundation was established in 1962 as a non-profit corporation whose sole purpose is to perpetuate his philosophy of individual achievement through Hill’s published and yet unpublished manuscripts, recordings, and courses. It is a highly skilled and knowledgeable educational institution. The Foundation conducts itself in a manner that would obtain Dr. Hill’s approval and well

https://amzn.to/3fuvWcu exceed his expectations. It is managed and operated with Dr. Hill’s best interests at heart and with the same intention, honor and respect, integrity and tenacity that he himself would have used. The mind is a fascinating landscape of relatively unexplored territory. More and more, the field of science is able to validate what Dr. Hill has known and shared with his audience for decades: What the Mind can Conceive and Believe, it can Achieve. The motivational stories in Beyond What If will inspire you to go beyond your self-imposed limitations and deflating beliefs to discover your Purpose and turn your dreams into reality.

Elite Pageant USA is a Come On In Inc. event/pageant that was originally designed for underprivileged people who cannot afford to compete in pageants, now we have designed it to be inclusive for everyone.. Elite Pageant USA ranges from 5 years old to Senior age. It is a Pageant that is not about how you look or your size, but a movement to empower young ladies and men to live their dreams. It is about being a servant’s heart to celebrate and redefine oneness with all diverse cultures. We want to instill the right value system in young children. Elite Pageant USA strives to ensure children grow up to be confident in what they do, by doing the best they can, and to achieve their goals while being true to themselves. It is a place where they can learn to become one of the strong men/women voices of confidence and courage. Elite Pageant USA solely judges on the interview, fashion, evening gown competition, and the value of many hours of volunteer community service the competitor has provided to others. Every Pageant is unique as we have four optional categories to win from—People’s Choice, Best Photo, Community Service Leader, Best Talent, and Best Costume. Each Pageant winner will hold their title for a year; however, Elite Pageant USA requires the winner to be available to help with any of the fundraisers or events.

WWW.INFLUENTIALPEOPLEMAGAZINE.COM

3 STEPS to A LIGNMENT Copyright by Michelle Moore Winder The Lord has been speaking to me about alignment a LOT lately. I had a stiff neck for almost a week & I felt like my hip was slightly out of place before I realized He was speaking to me. This morning I was prompted to look up the definition.

a·lign·ment /əˈlīnmənt/

noun 1.

arrangement in a straight line, or incorrect or appropriate relative positions. a position of agreement or alliance.

The words ‘appropriate relative position’ and ‘agreement’ really stood out to me. We are all designed perfectly by our Creator and we need to be aligned with Him inappropriate relative position if we want our life to work properly. It benefits us to remember HE is the head & we are the bodyand to align ourselves according to His plan. I was prompted to take this further… The Consequences of Misalignment: Being out of alignment with our Designer & Creator will bring us far-reaching consequences, which often include pain. Issues include: 1.

Lost Sense of Mission: When God’s plan & purpose for our life are aligned, they create a compass that gives us a sense of clarity and a mission that guides our actions and decisions. When that alignment fails, we default to self-serving behaviors, and our sense of mission is lost. Disorientation: When our internal values differ from our behavior, we feel confused, frustrated & unclear about our goals. We’re like a ship sailing on a sea without a compass.

Damaged Image: When our plan & purpose are aligned with God’s strategy, our internal & external images are united. Failure to maintain alignment with the One who created us causes us to be hypocritical.

Pain & Frustration: When we are wellaligned with our Creator, following His strategies creates a sense of belonging & loyalty. When that alignment fails, our sense of loyalty is nearly impossible to maintain; we find ourselves flailing between right & wrong. We often find ourselves frustrated, in physical pain, or dis-ease. Wasted Energy: Struggling between who your spirit knows you’re meant to be, and who you presently are, causes energy loss & misalignment- and often presents physically as exhaustion, back, neck, or joint pain.

We often forget that we are a spirit. We live in a body & have a soul (mind, will & emotions) When our spirit & soul are at odds, there is friction which causes physical issues in our body. It always benefits us to align our soul with our spirit, as our body takes orders from them. The good news is that alignment is just 3 steps away!3 Steps to Alignment: The five issues above are red flags that you may be out of alignment. If you’re experiencing them, take these three steps to start the process of realignment: 1.

Examine yourself. Take a hard look at your relationship with your Maker. Are you aligned with His strategy and purpose? Do you know what your purpose is?

Examine your values. What are your values? How do they compare with God’s? Are your spirit & soul-aligned so that your body gets a clear mes-

sage? 3.

Watch your Words. What words are you using to communicate? (With God? With yourself? With others?) What principles are set forth in God’s word? Are you following them? Do your words support a life that’s aligned with God’s plan for you?

Romans 12:1-2 says it well, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers & sisters, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.” As always, I’m here for you if you need help. God is relentlessly pursuing you. Let him bring order to your life. ~Michelle Winder 7/10/21

With all the civil unrest and turmoil going on in today’s America, it is the perfect time to look back and reflect on how African Americans are part of the foundation of this country. Robert Gatewood is a former NFL star, actor, writer, and producer of the upcoming film “Bucks of America”, which will be released July 2021. He has dedicated the past few years researching a lost part of America's history At a time when America’s fate was hanging in the balance, free and enslaved African Americans mobilized to

help the 13 colonies fight for their independence from the British. The British tried to entice these African American soldiers to fight for them with the promise of becoming free men, but they could not be swayed. The Bucks of America was organized in Boston and little is known about their campaign. Most of the unit’s history is constructed from eyewitness accounts because few records survived. This Patriot Massachusetts Military Company was instrumental to the success at the battle of Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, and the Boston Massacre This human-interest story covers the amazing true accounts of the Bucks of America, as well as the story of influential people during America’s fight for independence. As director and author of this film, Robert Gatewood integrates historical accuracy with Hollywood theatrics to create a masterpiece. Historians are helping with movie production to keep it accurate to detail and estimate an unbelievable 95% accuracy.

Powerful Marketing

DENISE M. MICHAELS

Leverage with Your Book

GHOSTWRITER, AUTHOR, SPEAKER, BOOK COACH Copyrighted Denise M. Michaels

I’m always interested in the smart ways my clients use the books I help them with to market themselves using the powerful marketing leverage a book provides. Rarely do they come to me with illusions of getting on the New York Times bestseller list. Their books generally appeal to a niche market and, their objective is to use a book as a way of pumping up their credibility and influence. As a result, they get more of the business they’ve been doing for years. I must share a story about a client who used his book in an extraordinary way which has resulted in $450,000 in sales since February 2020. Sales that have helped him, his business, and his family sail through this pandemic without any blips to their sixfigure income and lifestyle. But I digress. Honestly, his situation isn’t the norm. Most of my clients use their books to get more speaking engagements, media appearances, and as a result, more clients. Some do special printings of their books to corporations who buy them in large quantities. The books have the company logo on them. While there are still a scant number of live and in-person conferences and seminars happening since we’ve been quarantined, your book can be an entree to speaking at a Zoom conference or event, on podcasts, webinars, and more. A full-length book (over 175 pages) is the ticket to these bene-

fits. People respect the thought and experience required to write a full-length book. Mini books have become popular in recent years and can generate online leads or help build an email list. However, a mini book won’t garner the respect and gravitas that happens almost automatically with a full-length book. Minibooks are often perceived as trivial fluff – because many are just that. Fluff. How do I know this? If you’re pitching yourself as a visiting corporate trainer or a guest on a podcast or TV show – often you’ll be asked, “How many pages long is your book?” They probably won’t say your book is too short. But they’ll make excuses about how busy they are and how the time for guest speakers is limited – blah, blah, blah… Back to my client’s story. His expertise is in the human resources arena. So, with a lot of humor and great content, we crafted a book about bad bosses. He set up a page on his website where visitors can buy a copy of his book anonymously and have it sent to their terrible boss. Well, someone did exactly that and the terrible boss was the CEO of a Fortune 100 company. My client saw the name of the CEO and called him a short time after mailing the book. The CEO was livid with rage that someone would dare send an anonymous copy of a book because they view him as a bad boss.

At first, he demanded to know who bought the book. But my clever client was too smart for that nonsense.

YOUR WORDS ARE POWERFUL

He started asking the CEO questions about the company and how things work with their people and in less than two weeks he had a $200,000 contract. In 2021 that contract was renewed for $250,000. He continues humming along doing the work he enjoys in relative anonymity. Just the way he likes it. Do you think he cares even the tiniest bit that his book hasn’t made it on the bestseller list? Nope, not at all. So, if you’ve considered the idea of writing a book to elevate your stature and expertise, now is an excellent time. Book sales have skyrocketed as much as 30% in some genres during the pandemic as smart people have done their best to make wise use of the extra time they’ve had at home over the last year. They’re also getting back into the smart habit of buying and reading more books. One of them could be yours.

Yes, this isn’t what I normally write on my blog, but I wanted to share a different type of writing, more personal and emotional. Because perhaps that’s exactly what you need for your book. Let me know if I can help you. (By the way, the picture above is a selfie taken August 7, 2017 – on the beach.) ~Denise M. Michaels https://internationalbookwritingguild.com/

Williams learned some of them had been bankers and business people who have fell on hard times and the result in beoming homeless. “You will never know when something might happen and we could ended up in a similar situation.” Darla said “Christmas is not the only time to give and serve, you can bless these families, it is not about us, it’s about serving them, bringing light, love and hope, that’s what Jesus is light, love and hope. It is our duty to love the unloved help the helpless and bring the hope to the hopeless. Be the light in someone’s life today and bring them hope!”.

G I T T E RANDRUP Copyright by Gitte Randrup

WWW.INFLUENTIALPEOPLEMAGAZINE.COM

HR BUSINESS PARTNER, BLOGGER, CONSULTANT/ RECRUITER,

Are you a leader who is tired of making decisions that your reports could just as well make themselves? And would you like to have more time for (management) duties other than being the decision-maker? If you start turning toward the 365degree leadership style, it may result in more enterprising employees who develop. This is because management resources are present everywhere within employees and not just hierarchically, where we traditionally expect to find them. Gitte Randrup of GR Consult talked to organizational and management consultant Heidi Graff, of Interplay, on how your organization can start performing better if you let management take place horizontally as well as with your employees. Interviewed by Heidi Gaff

Entering into dialogue and not rising to the occasion Graff recommends that you start by redefining yourself as a facilitator of decision-making processes—to be the one mobilizing ideas and initiatives that could otherwise be lost if you’re the primary initiative and decision-making person. It’s as simple as asking more questions when your reports come to you with issues. In this way, they’re forced to come up with solutions themselves, as they’re the ones who know the most about the issue.

Even if you’re talking to a project manager who is presenting an issue you’ve heard about several times before, and the solution is obvious to you, Graff urges you to pull back. The employee might have a solution that’s even better than the one you’ve been using for years. If you find this practice difficult because you have a high degree of control, start with small, unimportant decisions.

Find your Values You may think that 365-degree management will be a big challenge and that it’ll be difficult to shift a lot based on the person you’re facing. But it won’t, Graff says, if you’re aware of your leadership values. They’ll be your guideline every time a report is facing an issue, as you’ll enter the different situations and see

what type of person you’re facing. This requires you to change your mindset and start acting out a leadership value: that all people may be part of finding a solution. This often happens when you cooperate with others instead of believing that you’re on your own. If you succeed with this, you’ve created a good foundation for 360-degree management. It’s also important to not let yourself be controlled by the irritation we all experience when things are not done in the way we like and know. When you invite others to come up with initiatives and solutions, you should expect to be challenged on your thinking, says Graff. It’s difficult to create 365-degree management if you’re rewarded for performance yourself, as this is in opposition to creating powers of initiative in others. Your culture must focus on the advantages of creating more inventive employees. Graff recommends that you challenge your manager and/or management group on a culture change. It’s also a question of how and if your management ideology fits your workplace. You may find it difficult to change very old company culture. However, it doesn’t have to be tough, says Graff, who recommends starting with small steps regarding the way you talk about challenges. For example, saying, “We’re in the process of finding more alternatives to…” is a better starting point than “We’ve handled this issue like

WWW.INFLUENTIALPEOPLEMAGAZINE.COM

this and that.”

Take a look at the onboarding of new employees In many workplaces, the onboarding process focuses on socializing new employees in the organization of which they’re now part—to teach them “how we do things around here.” Many people have been corrected or rapped on the knuckles because they inadvertently did or said something that was not the custom in the workplace. But, Graff says, we need to stop doing this if we want organizations with innovative employees, as it conflicts with the practice of asking more questions rather than giving more answers. For instance, we can start letting new hires assess the workplace and suggest improvements that we’re candidly interested in hearing. Here, the experienced employees need to resist saying, “We tried this already and went back to the old procedure.” If we want innovation, we need to take an open approach and listen more.

NEED TO RENT A HR BUSINESS PARTNER? NEED A BETTER ON BOARDING PROCESS? NEED HELP WITH RECRUITING PEOPLE?

Don’t give the excuse that you are busy and don’t have enough time You may think that you don’t have the energy and time to change your leadership style. But Graff won’t accept that excuse. If you don’t invest in helping your reports make their own decisions, they’ll probably knock on your door as often as they currently do, as you haven’t trained them to make their own decisions. She also challenges us to break with the standard reply, “I’m (very) busy,” because if you always say that, the phrase loses its power. And what is it worth if we’re all striving for constant economic growth that requires us to be more and more efficient? Consider whether you engage in more and better tasks when you’re busy. Do you worry that 365-degree management will involve a great deal of opposing acts that end in more confusion than good, now that the initiative and decision-making power will be with more people? According to Graff, it doesn’t have to be that way. Of course, it requires some work to create a strong unifying narrative and direction, plus a continuous dialogue about handling duties in the best way possible. There are several ways to achieve this, and if your reports find that they’re included in the process of finding different proposals for solutions, then you’ll succeed—maybe not in the way you thought, but most likely in a better way. And all other things being equal, you’ll create a better working environment and better-functioning organizations, as far more employee ideas and initiatives will come into play. These are resources that otherwise wouldn’t be lived out. ~Gitte Randrup http://grconsult.dk/en/ Gitterandrup Gitterandrup

HOW TO IMPROVE WORKPLACE COMMUNICATION CHRIS SALEM SPEAKER/INT’L BEST SELLING AUTHOR, BUSINESS/ LIFE STRATEGIST, RADIO SHOW HOST Copyright Chris Salem Effective communication in the workplace is what separates high-performing compa-

nies from the rest. A company that has strong relationships established at its foundation not only drastically reduces employee turnover but dramatically increases production and efficiency. Despite this fact, even companies in good standing still struggle from time to time with proper communication. When not handled correctly, this can lead to misunderstandings and conflict that reduce productivity and employee morale. Here are some steps you can take today to start improving communication in your organization. Focus on Your Employees First According to the American Psychological Association, nearly onequarter of employees do not trust their employer. Employees respond to leadership that they can trust. Focus on putting your people first by listening to them and developing their skills works to build that trust. Employees are more likely to communicate better and give their best work when you show genuine interest in them. This is empathizing with their roadblocks or dilemmas, and following through on the ways you say you will help. Establishing rapport with your employees leads to better communication. This yields gains across any organization such as an increase in productivity, efficiency, and revenue.

times during the week to touch base can make all the difference in your business. You will learn more about the inner workings of what is going on in the office to offset any potential conflict or misunderstandings. Leaders of the organization who are proactive lead with this at the top of their list. It is important for the leader to listen well and not to judge. Be the example always for your employees to follow as this builds respect and further trust not only with the leader but everyone in the organization. Take time to listen and be mindful of how you communicate with people. Companies that put workplace communication top of the list lead by example and setting times to communicate and listen are mandatory.

Set Specific Times to Share with One Another

Learn to Leverage People’s Strengths

Proper communication is not once in a while. It has to be part of a company’s big plan to bring continuous value to their industry which starts with employees. It also has to be consistent. Setting certain

This is a process and does not happen overnight. It takes time to assess your staff’s strengths and weaknesses. However, companies that place workplace communication high on their list will be able to

WWW.INFLUENTIALPEOPLEMAGAZINE.COM

determine this sooner than others that place less emphasis. Learning to leverage people’s strengths allows companies to place people in situations or tasks that more likely will lead to success. This is where the focus on listening and observation up front can pay dividends in the long run. There’s also the personality type route with Strength Finder being a great resource. All of a sudden, it might make sense that you’re motivated by competition and focus, whereas your other teammate does best with input and ideation. By understanding each other’s strengths and weaknesses, it’s easier to have effective communication in the workplace.

Establish the foundation of transparency in the workplace Organizations that play at another level are always transparent from the top down with their workflows. Everyone knows the bigger picture and vision for the company. In addition, they know each other’s roles and how they will all work together. It is important to organize a clear walkthrough by using Excel Spreadsheets, so all your team members are on the same page and not frustrated by miscommunications. The steps above are just a few of many to follow and implement toward taking your organization to another level. It requires strategy and proper planning but most importantly always being consistent with it. To your health & prosperity,

3 Ways I Broke The Rules Of Internet Marketing + Reached Millions

FOUNDER, TV HOST, PRODUCER, SPEAKER, AUTHOR, CONSULTANT Copyright by Melissa Hull It seemed crazy. Far-fetched. Absurd.

A whole TV networks? But once you’ve run through all the logical, rational options — and still gotten nowhere — your wildest dreams don’t seem much crazier. So, I got to work on what seemed like a Hail Mary and a pipe dream combined. And you know what? It worked.

A Case Study In Unconventional Internet Mar-

keting Strategies By launching a web-based entertainment network, I’d accidentally discovered a HUGE marketing secret. When it comes to monetized content, the road less traveled is cheaper, faster, and way more powerful than traditional digital marketing strategies. I’d discovered my way through the digital noise and clutter that buries our most important and transformative messages. I’d finally broken through. And none of it happened the way I thought it would — the way everyone said it would. It was the lesser-known content approaches, untapped distribution resources, and DIY authority-building strategies that attracted my

first million viewers. Just like that, e360TV became a case study in unconventionally reaching millions. And I became a rule-breaker.

How This Works When you launch a business, you have to nail down what, how, and why of your business. Well, I did all three a little differently when I created e360TV. Why? I didn’t care how everyone else was doing it. I just wanted it to work. As I walk you through the foundation of my e-Network, notice how many unconventional choices ended up making a difference.

WHAT - Entertainment-first Content As a web-based TV network, our “what” is our content. If our content didn’t compel people to watch, then the entire thing was just a waste of time — instead of a massively successful media empire. So we thought hard about what kind of content we wanted to deliver, as well as what we wanted it to do for our audience. Let’s dive in. e360TV provides unique, alternative lifestyle programming that covers a wide range of interests: alternative medicine, healthy living, Avante Garde fashion, art, music, cannabis, and more. Dozens of

categories encompass hundreds of programs — all in one, on-

WWW.INFLUENTIALPEOPLEMAGAZINE.COM

demand network that people can access anytime they want, for as long as they want. So we’d already decided to tap into an untapped audience, but we wanted to take it one step further. We were going to break one of the biggest rules when it came to content creation: We were going to take an entertainment-first approach that put our audience at the center of our content. Forget self-promotional marketing content. Throw out your marketing goals entirely. All we cared about was: Is the audience entertained enough to stick around and come back? We felt that, once we captured the audience, opportunities to monetize would present themselves organically. And those organic connections would be 1,000x more powerful than anything we could do with a marketing-based approach. And that’s exactly what we did with e360TV. We took notes from the entertainment network giants. We created compelling content that drove people to watch more and more. We followed our audience. And it all led us to our first million viewers.

HOW - Unconventional Distribution & Advertising The “how” is where we decided to shake things up. Once our content was produced, we needed to figure out a way to break through all that digital noise and clutter — without using the conventional TV networks. Right off the bat, we decided we didn’t want to distribute our content through the big TV networks because it would take way too much time and money. Plus, it wasn’t a realistic option for everyone. And we wanted to pave the way for brands of all sizes. It turns out there are two relatively “secret” tools in content distribution that provide massive marketing opportunities for brands. But most people just didn’t know these opportunities existed. On-demand & OTT Distribution You may have heard me talk about this one before … because it’s just so good! Netflix, Hulu, and other web-based distributors changed the entertainment world when they began streaming movies and TV directly through the internet to a connected device in your home. Why was that revolutionary? They figured out how to bypass the need for viewers to subscribe to a traditional cable or satellite package. Instead, they could reach viewers on their own — and monetize their content on their own, as well. That’s exactly how Over-the-Top (OTT) distribution works: It delivers content online through streaming devices like Roku, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, and more. The content captures viewers. And YOU get to decide how to monetize that audience. t’s like having DIY access to a TV network … and all the marketing opportunities that come with it. Interactive Video Advertising Once we figured out how to distribute our content in a way that gave us control over monetization, we had to figure out how to monetize it. So, we broke another rule. Sure, there were some conventional ways of monetizing video content: video ads, sponsorships, and product placement.

But we wanted something spectacular. Something that would wow the audience and the advertisers. We went cutting-edge and developed results-driven interactive vid-

eo advertising opportunities. Interactive video advertising is pretty much what it sounds like. It allows viewers to share and purchase from brands directly from the video content they love with clickable ads, campaigns, and product placement. It can be used in many different ways, including sponsored content, instream video ads, linked product placement, direct sharing, direct purchasing, and more.

WHY - Guerilla Authority When it came to the “why,” all I wanted was to help people with heartled messages find the platform and audience they needed to change the world. That’s what e360TV was designed to be: a global changemaker for people with passionate messages. When I translated that to business, it just meant e360TV was designed to help people develop online authority on their own. But how was I going to do that? You guessed it … by breaking another rule. Instead of going the traditional media route — pitching stations and spamming networks for a spot — I was going to create authority and media opportunities on my own. That’s when I began harnessing the power of SEO marketing

strategies. We create a system of press releases, built-in backlinks, ads, websites, landing pages, blogs, articles, and many other types of digital assets — all coded with the right keywords to get your content trending. SEO marketing also allows you to leverage mainstream media opportunities by maximizing the SEO power of “as seen on FOX” statements, etc. Share With Us! . Melissa Hull Gallemore

What is BioHacking? Biohackers are individuals who believe in experience-based knowledge. Their mindset is, “Show me the research and then let me try it for myself.”

Iohacking is taking full control of your biology. If you’ve pursued ways to improve your health, that’s biohacking. But, it’s more than just putting butter in your coffee

every morning or taking a daily vitamin. Biohacking is the desire to understand the body and mind you’ve been given and using everything at your disposal — cutting-edge technology, tools, and science — to become the best version of yourself.

Why Biohacking? Biohacking is more than just reading mindless self-improvement tips. It is understanding the why behind how you’re feeling, thinking, and performing. Knowing the “why” empowers you to not only biohack your body, but to make impactful changes to your overall health and well-being. At LifeVantage, we live for finding the “why” through relentless research, experimentation, and technology. Biohackers are individuals who believe in experience-based knowledge. Their mindset is, “Show me the research and then let me try it for myself.” Learn to pay attention to how you’re feeling. There is always something tangible that’s affecting your daily ability to be awesome. Instead of simply question those setbacks. With the “biohacker mindset,” you’re not eschewing traditional medi-

cine, you’re just figuring out what works best for you. You’re actively seeking out a healthier lifestyle. And for that, your future self will thank you. With all this in mind, the real question you should be asking is…why not biohack?

SIGNS YOU’RE 6 NOT REACHING YOUR FULL POTENTIAL By Susie Moore

Have you ever had the feeling that you’re not living your full potential and you should be? Does something feel missing? Do you feel like you’re drifting along, letting life happen to you when there’s something deeper inside of you, dying to come out? Is there so much more to you that you want the world to, see? If you ever find yourself daydreaming about connecting more with your passion and even turning what comes so joyfully to you into a part-time profession (aka a Side Hustle), then you’re probably onto something. And what better time to get started than now, especially when the Side Hustle is the trend du jour? Today, more than ever before, it’s easier to begin that self-starting, entrepreneurial path. Think about it. A good side hustle could solve basically all your problems. Seriously. For example, are you strapped for cash? Side hustle. Are you feeling unfulfilled by your job? Side hustle. Want to make a positive impact Here are six clear signs that you should consider launching your very own Side Hustle and working towards reaching that full potential of yours (in your one precious lifetime!), pronto:

YOUR JOB DOESN’T FEEL LIKE IT’S WHO YOU REALLY ARE If you feel bored or stifled at your nine-to-five job, and you’re realizing more and more that you just weren’t built for cubicle life, it might be time to consider launching your own side gig. Even if you don’t fully quit whatever career you’re currently pursuing, focusing some time and energy on a passion project can seriously enrich your everyday life.

you’re a natural problem solver who helps people with your advice, skill set, creativity, knowledge, network, and/or smarts, you’re a Side Hustler already, you’re just waiting to bloom (and your full potential awaits)!

YOU’RE RESTLESS If you feel there is an undercurrent of dissatisfaction in your life, it’s very possible that it’s due to you holding something back from the world. There is tremendous satisfaction and joy in being a creator and entrepreneur. You just know you have more to give than you’re currently giving.

YOU DON’T WORK WELL WITH SOMEONE ELSE’S STRUCTURE

YOUR ROLE MODELS ARE ENTREPRENEURS

No matter how cool your office perks are, many people can’t handle the structure of a job that sets rigid rules, hours, and performance expectations. It can start to feel too much like school (or even jail)! If this rings true for you, you’re probably more of an entrepreneurial human than you realize.

Take note of who you look up to. If it’s Richard Branson, Victoria Beckham, Arianna Huffington, or anyone who has built a successful empire of their own, it may be time to strike your own path. Whoever you most aspire to be like is a great indicator of what’s inside of you.

YOU’RE A SELF-STARTER Are you a natural doer? Self-motivated, energetic, motivated personalities make great Side Hustlers! When I was running my Side Hustle and working my full-time job, I’d write before work. I’d coach in the evenings. It felt great! I loved the ownership and security of the business being mine. In fact, in the beginning for me, it wasn’t about the money at all. It was about being my own boss. If you can motivate yourself, you’re 99 percent there.

YOU HAVE A GOOD IDEA (OR MORE THAN ONE)! And it probably involves solving a problem you see in people’s lives. Passionate problem solving is the cornerstone of all solid businesses. If

Having a 9-5 job is no reason to not have a small business on the side. There’s also no such thing as job security anymore so it’s smart to hedge your income with multiple revenue streams. If a Side Hustle feels right for you, it’s time to get busy! There is no time to waste and a whole lotta freedom, satisfaction, and cash to receive into your life. And there’s no time like the present to begin. However, you begin, if you’re consistent with your side gig, the sky’s the limit. I love what Derek Sivers says and repeat it often, “What’s obvious to you is amazing to others.” Don’t sell yourself short or overlook your skills. There are a million ways to make a living and the results are likely to surprise you. ~Susie Moore
