0:00 Do you ever feel compelled to rush throughout your day to get more stuff done? What about hustling when you know you don't even need to do that? If you've experienced either of these, you're gonna want to lean in and turn up the volume on today's episode because our guest, Savanna Schiavo is going to help us ditch the hustle and reprogram the rush. 1:09 About Savanna Schiavo 2:25 Savanna’s life before becoming a life and confidence coach. 5:55 Why hustle and rush often creep into our lives and how conditioning, culture, and our internal desires inform these activities. “Hustle and rush are coming from a place of fear, and a place of lack. It's us acting out of fear of not-enoughness essentially.” - Savanna Schiavo 11:06 The correlation between fear of lack and confidence. 11:59 “When we're taking actions from the place of hustle and rush, it's blocking our confidence. It's blocking our creativity, our energy, our ability to flow, our ability to relax and tap into our gifts." - Savanna Schiavo 13:18 “To access more confidence in our business, we have to solve for the fear that's been driving our business. We need to look at the fear that is keeping us from feeling competent.” - Savanna Schiavo 14:45 How business owners can tap into and reprogram fear so it works for us and it becomes something positive versus staying stuck in that negative emotion. 15:32 What do you believe is keeping you going all the time? What are the beliefs that have been driving this behavior for me? 16:10 Common beliefs we don’t even notice that we think are true. 17:19 Question 2: Is this true? 19:30 Question 3: If you didn't believe this, what would be different about you? What you're doing is showing yourself, your subconscious mind, what would be available to you, if you decided to let go of this optional belief, and practice and open up to new beliefs. 22:02 How do we share ourselves, share our messages and attract the right people into our businesses using social media as a tool rather than a place to feel bad about ourselves? 23:11 On attracting the right people by being magnetic. 26:05 Savana’s favorite way to create content 27:10 “I let myself be the really imperfect human I am so people really get to see me. I think that's what is so powerful.” - Savanna Schiavo 29:06 Connect with Savanna http://www.yongpratt.com/354 30:36 Grab Savanna’s journaling prompts inside the Arena of Awesome http://www.yongpratt.com/arenaGroup and share your biggest takeaways. ---------------------------- READY TO UNEARTH THE GOLD IN YOUR CONTENT?

There's no room for being wishy washy.

0:00 Have you ever been tempted to hire someone to create all of your social media graphics for you? Or even someone to just manage all your social media content so you don't have to? Yeah, me too.

0:03 As a transformation maker - a coach, a consultant, a course creator - you're creating an awful lot of content. Let me ask you a very candid question. Does all of that content equal cash for you? 0:23 Until fairly recently, Yong didn’t have a process for monetizing her content. Because she had so much content out there, there was not a lot of reason for people to actually hire her to help them do the things that I was teaching because they could go figure it all out for free. 1:21 What Yong did instead of Gary Vee Style Content Repurposing and how it turned into her signature 3-Step Framework to Turn Content into Cash 3:16 Today's episode topic: Yong’s three-step framework to turn your content [yep, that content you have already created] into cash. 4:14 Things you could do with all that extra cash, especially with summer right around the corner 4:55 Today’s topic isn’t one that’s talked about often which is exactly why you need to tune in and listen or watch the video version inside the Arena of Awesome https://www.facebook.com/groups/arenaofawesome 5:15 If you haven't listened to the Myth of More [#333] http://www.yongpratt.com/333 or Content Gold Mining versus the traditional Gary Vee style content repurposing [#334] http://www.yongpratt.com/334be sure to do so as they lay the foundation for today’s episode 5:40 How Yong’s Nevada roots influenced and helped shape the idea of Content Gold Mining | The Low-Hanging Fruit for most content creators that has them flocking to Gary Vee Style Content Repurposing 7:36 One of the downfalls of the Gary Vee Content Repurposing Method 9:26 Surface level versus underground gold mining 10:53 The good news for you as a content gold miner 11:41 In order to turn your content into cash, all you have to do is D. I. G.. If you can remember that simple phrase, you literally have a way to monetize your content. 12:21 When you try out this framework in your business, be sure to share your questions, successes, and more with Yong at www.Yong Pratt.com/335 http://www.yong/ or inside the Arena of Awesome https://www.facebook.com/groups/arenaofawesome 13:17 Step 1 in the D.I.G. Framework: D = Discover + How to enlist the help of the kids in your life to help you complete this step 13:47 Need ideas on where to find kids and questions to ask to delegate the Discovery Process? Head to www.Yong Pratt.com/335 and ask Yong 14:49 One of the many benefits of joining Yong inside the Arena of Awesome https://www.facebook.com/groups/arenaofawesome 15:15 What the Discover phase entails | a simple tool you can use for yourself and Yong’s examples “THE DISCOVER PHASE OF THE D.I.G. FRAMEWORK ALLOWS YOU TO SEE ALL YOUR CONTENT GATHERED IN ONE SINGULAR PLACE. IT’S OFTEN THE FIRST TIME MY CLIENTS HAVE SEEN JUST HOW MUCH CONTENT THEY’VE ACTUALLY CREATED AND IT’S OFTEN AN EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE IN THE BEST OF WAYS.” - YONG PRATT 18:30 What you’ll likely notice during the Discovery Process 19:21 The reaction Yong’s clients have every.single.time. She takes them through this Discovery Process 20:56 An everyday example of what the Discovery Process is like 21:14 Step 1 in the D.I.G. Framework: I = Ideate and why it’s so exciting 22:15 How Yong used the Ideate Process to publish her first book 24:40 The focus of Yong’s first book 25:54 “I want to simplify the process, because that's one of my superpowers - Simplify the complicated.” - Yong Pratt 27:49 “IN THE IDEATION PHASE OF THE D.I.G FRAMEWORK, THERE'S NO RIGHT OR WRONG. THERE'S NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL. YOU ARE UNIQUE. YOUR CONTENT IS UNIQUE. AND WHEN YOU IDEATE AND USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO CREATE, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ABSOLUTELY ENDLESS.” - YONG PRATT 28:22 Two additional ways Yong has used the Ideate Process herself and how you may be able to use it as well 29:27 “BECAUSE CREATION IS NOT LINEAR, YOU CAN TAKE CONTENT THAT WAS ONCE FREE AND TURN IT INTO A PAID OFFER THAT’S ORGANIZED AND DELIVERED IN A SUCCINCT WAY TO GET MAXIMUM RESULTS FOR YOUR CLIENT.” - YONG PRATT 30:44 Inside Yong’s signature experience, Your Content Goldmine™, her six-month mentorship program coming up soon, you'll see bits and pieces of how she’s been able to ideate on her content. PLUS, the big draw for this program is time with Yong.

0:01 I fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker. I was once drawn into the world where MORE became my motto. I wore it like a badge of honor. I was always striving to be more, do more and create more. I stopped listening to the many signs my body was telling me to slow down on my quest for more. Ignoring those signals, landed me in the hospital for test after test, and ultimately being sent home, hooked to a heart monitor for days. The allure of more is a strong force, and few make it out unscathed. In today's episode, I'm going to share how I've made it to the other side of more, and how I can help you do the same...but only if you're ready to embrace a world where less is the new norm? 1:44 Here at Amplify Your Awesome™, we help course creators and coaches ditch content overwhelm, tap into endless supplies of social media content, and make money from the content they've already created. 2:22 Today we're diving into Content Gold Mining versus "Gary Vee" style content repurposing. It's a question I've been getting a lot of lately, so I wanted to, well, set the record straight. 2:37 If you haven't already listened to the last episode number 333. The Myth of More, I highly recommend you press pause and take a listen to that tale before continuing with this episode at www.yongpratt.com/333 http://www.yongpratt.com/333 2:56 That time when Yong stood firmly in the belief that repurposing content was THE marketing strategy everyone needed to use… 3:21 How Yong used 3 content repurposing automation tools to replace her full-time Virtual Assistant 3:42 When I talk about content repurposing, or the traditional "Gary Vee" style content repurposing the way it's talked about these days, here's what I mean. “Traditional, “Gary Vee” Style Content Repurposing the act of taking a large piece of content and extracting smaller chunks which you can then share.” - Yong Pratt 4:18 Reason #1 for “Gary Vee” Style Content Repurposing Number one: it looks like you're everywhere. And number two: one can more easily establish their expertise by having more of these smaller pieces of content. 5:02 The reason why traditional “Gary Vee” style content repurposing is costing you money. 5:33 What you need in place to get hundreds of pieces of content 6:12 Opportunity #1 Yong experienced by promoting and advocating for the use of 3 content repurposing tools 6:33 Opportunity #2 Yong experienced by promoting and advocating for the use of 3 content repurposing tools 7:10 That time when things started to crumble before Yong’s eyes 7:31 Some reasons why traditional “Gary Vee” style content repurposing didn’t work for my clients 8:15 The Two Myths Yong uses to describe traditional "Gary Vee" style content repurposing 8:41 The weight of Yong’s 1000s upon 1000s of pieces of content and its opportunity cost 9:42 The lesson Yong learned from training Freebie seekers and the money it cost 10:21 That time when Yong has months and months of social media posts pre-scheduled turned into social media dormancy 10:59 What Yong discovered during that social media dormancy 11:50 The tool Yong used to FINALLY be able to see all her beautiful content 12:45 What Yong recommends you do today with all YOUR awesome content 13:26 The patterns that emerged and the questions Yong began to ponder regarding her discovery 14:28 “Instead of focusing on transforming one piece of content into hundreds using the “Gary Vee” method of content repurposing, Content Gold Mining™ offers you many ways to monetize all your beautiful content.” - Yong Pratt 15:05 “Right now, at this moment, you have endless gifts you could offer to the world and get paid for doing so.” - Yong Pratt 15:24 Questions to ponder and experiment with starting today… 15:32 What have you stopped creating content today? For a week? Or even a month? 15:38 What if you reinvested some of that creation time into unearthing the gold from your own content goldmine? 15:47 What if you could turn your massive amounts of content into endless streams of income? 15:55 What if you could tap into that Gold Mine every time you wanted or needed to: __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 16:25 A testimonial Yong got after a Content Gold Mining Session with 1:1 Client, Susan" "Wow, just wow. Yong certainly knows her stuff and the potency of content, namely your content. She quickly and effortlessly walks you through the value of your current content. She offers amazing options on delivering your hard work and talent found in your content and monetizing them as you offer your prospects irresistible offers. It's an emotional moment, when you realize your content can be massaged into other platforms to help others you must work with Yong." 17:42 “Monetizing content is where traditional style or "Gary Vee" style content repurposing really misses the mark. Its real focus has been on visibility and exposure, neither of which is a guarantee for sales.” - Yong Pratt 18:42 Wouldn't your time be better spent monetizing the content you already have? 18:48 What if it didn't have to be either-or? 18:52 If you could create endless content for social media, and endless streams of income from the content you already have, without the overwhelm? Would you want to know how to do it? 19:06 You my friend absolutely deserve to have both! And the time to make it happen is now. The doors to Your Content Gold Mine™, my six-month mentorship will be opening up soon, and I'd love to be your guide on this amazing adventure. 19:22 What’s included inside Yong’s 6-Month Mentorship 19:46 So my friend… __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 20:19 Let's talk about you and your awesome content.

0:00 Have you ever been told that in order to get more followers, more subscribers, make more money, or establish your expertise is to create more content and be on more platforms?

I'll be sure to link up a trailer on today's show notes at www.YongPratt.com/333. 2:32 Once upon a time, there was an overwhelmed business owner that stumbled into the magical world of content repurposing and the allure of omnipresence 3:19 What the overwhelmed business owner saw when she looked around in the magical world and revealing her secrets to others 3:47 “In this magical world of content repurposing, messages were multiplied. Content was more than plentiful, and everyone's cup runneth over. And the allure of more was all-consuming.” - Yong Pratt 4:01 Leaving the magical world...just for a little while 4:15 How the MORE-NESS she’d magicked did not fill her money bags as she was lured into believing 4:47 Feeling distraught, she began to wonder where she went wrong. 4:53 How following the rules and creating MORE ultimately led to LESS 5:22 How retreating back into her pre-content repurposing world, helped the overwhelmed business owner discover her real self once again 5:44 The shocking discovery the overwhelmed business owner made 6:20 How the overwhelmed business owner left overwhelmed behind and how she uses the lessons she’s learned to help others overcome their quest for MORE. 8:27 The Brave New World where business owners stand shoulder to shoulder embracing the power of LESS 8:58 A happily ever after that can be yours, too. 9:09 The Myth of More does not have to be your reality. You, too, can embrace a world where doing less and creating less is the true measure of success. 9:22 If you're ready to enter into this brave new world with me and tap into the goldmine, that is your content, I invite you to book a call with me at www.YongPratt.com/333 9:49 Cheers to busting the Myth of More...together!

0:00 Do you ever wish you could pack up your suitcase, travel the world, and run your business from anywhere? Well, that's exactly what our guest today did with her family. Jessica Klasnick was living the American dream. However, she wanted more time with her family. So they sold everything, downsized, and traveled in a teeny, tiny RV as a family of five. Over the past five years, they've been recalculating what happiness means to them, breaking away from those societal norms of how life should be, and intentionally living life each day on purpose. Jessica doesn't teach you how to recreate her best life. She teaches you how to discover your own. 2:42 Discover what Jessica and her family were doing before they decided to travel with her family 4:21 How living the same day in and day out, being home with the kids, and not seeing her husband daily were catalysts to traveling with her family 6:38 How Jessica’s family reacted when she shared their plans for travel 8:10 Did Jessica ever think leaving everything behind to travel was a mistake? 10:47 How Jessica’s kids reacted to traveling 12:24 Discovering and becoming a life coach. 14:35 The people Jessica loves to work with as a coach 17:39 How a new perspective is exactly what we need 18:09 Attracting the right people into her world 19:18 Jessica’s favorite ways to create content 20:53 The 4-letter word we need to banish from business 24:29 Jessica’s philosophy on business 26:38 “I just don't want you having fun all day, but not making the money you want or having the relationship you want. I want you to have all of that. And that's when you know you're really doing it right.” 27:58 Jessica’s “Thought Drop” morning ritual 29:47 Connect with Jessica www.JessicaKlasnick.com http://www.jessicaklasnick.com/ www.RecalculatingHappiness.com http://www.recalculatinghappiness.com/ 31:43 “I love that we talk about our own awesomeness because so often, because we live with ourselves, we don't even realize all of our gifts and all of these really unique things that we have. And so I would say the biggest tip, and this is a challenge is to figure out what you want, decide that you want it, and then not worry how you're going to get it. But start taking one step in the direction of that, that that dream or that desire. And just really give up on having to have that control of how do I get there.” 33:27 “Don't let being uncomfortable, be the reason you don't make a change.” 34:49 Wanna watch the VIDEO version of this episode and ask Jessica your questions?
