  • Should I Mix Faith and Business?

    Should I Mix Faith and Business?
    Mar 16 2025

    Can you mix your faith and your business?

    Should you bring Jesus to work?

    There are plenty of good Christians who believe those worlds should not mix (especially those good Christians with employees who may not hold the same beliefs).

    This week, I'd like to tackle this touchy topic with my son, Sean. Not only is he one of my favorite people to talk to, he's a fellow Christian, a fellow entrepreneur, and an employer with some insightful opinions on the separation of faith and business.

  • 5 Keys To a Stressless and Fearless Life

    5 Keys To a Stressless and Fearless Life
    Jan 28 2025
    A "Stressless”, "Fearless” life - Eliminating all fear and stress from life ain’t gonna happen, BUT it is definitely possible to reduce the amounts of both...to "stress less", and "fear less". This week, I’m giving you the 5 keys to do just that…​ ​ Purpose What is your overall mission in life? What is the reason you're driven to get out of bed each day? If you don’t know your purpose, that’s okay. It will evolve and change over time, but defining a reason is important. Pick one. I believe our mission is to become the person God made us to be. Yours may of course be different, but will likely be some version of being the best you can - physically, spiritually, and financially.Gratitude Gratitude is a weapon! When you consciously acknowledge the things you’re grateful for, you can overpower stress and fear. Gratitude is an incredibly powerful emotion and it’s important to know the things you’re grateful for so you can wield this weapon at will.Talk to Yourself More Than You Listen to YourselfOur thoughts can drift into territory that brings us down and can quickly spiral into catastrophic thinking if left unchecked. Be conscious of the thoughts you think…don’t let them run on autopilot. Become the programmer - Don’t run the program written by others.Growth and ContributionIn nature, you’re either growing or dying…there’s no middle ground. It is important to continue to grow as a human being and maintain a mindset (like the one described by Carol Dweck in the book, Mindset) that is conducive to that growth. According to Tony Robbins (and now accepted by many trained psychologists as truth), there are 6 basic needs that all humans must fulfil: Certainty: assurance you can avoid pain and gain pleasureUncertainty/Variety: the need for the unknown, change, new stimuliSignificance: feeling unique, important, special or neededConnection/Love: a strong feeling of closeness or union with someone or somethingGrowth: an expansion of capacity, capability or understandingContribution: a sense of service and focus on helping, giving to and supporting others The Combined Fulfilment of the Need for Connection and LoveWhy these two? The needs that Tony laid out are “basic necessities”...one is no more important than the other, BUT I believe focusing on these two as your “go to” needs, will give you the most satisfaction, reward, and positivity.

  • Would AI Have a "Black Friday Sale"

    Would AI Have a "Black Friday Sale"
    Oct 31 2024
    As you may know, I am quite the tech nerd. I enjoy checking out the latest AI gizmos, searching for things that are actually useful, productivity boosters (which I really need after wasting so much time playing with said gizmos). ​ ​One of the more interesting tools I've found is Google's NotebookLM. You feed it a document and it generates a "podcast" about the contents using two artificial hosts. Since Black Friday is coming up, I decided I would test it using a blog post I wrote a couple of years ago that encouraged service-based businesses to do a Black Friday promotion. Was it successful?

  • Now Is The Time To Start A Business

    Now Is The Time To Start A Business
    Oct 18 2024
    I know not everyone who listens to my podcast is over 50, but God willing, someday you will be, so stick with me. ​ ​50 doesn't seem old these days (depending on who you're asking), but for many of us, it's when our bodies begin to show a little wear and tear. In our twenties, we might pull a muscle if we lift something too heavy...In our 50's, that same injury could be caused by a sneeze. ​ ​My point is, some of the freedom we earn by being entrepreneurs becomes more of a necessity than a luxury. For instance, in the past few years, I have had a couple of surgeries that required substantial recovery time. I'm not sure how an employer could have accommodated my needs (not wishes...needs). ​ ​There are some other advantages to this digital-business lifestyle (especially for the 50+ crowd) that I'll dive into in this week's episode. Key Insights Has this come without challenges? Nope.​​Weather could interrupt my business, but not destroy itMonthly recurring revenue (the joy of not starting at $0 each month)All I need to do business is a laptop and access to the internet Video and Transcript https://www.rayedwards.com/667 Links ​Charity Navigator: Looking to donate to hurricane relief efforts?

  • The Key Skill

    The Key Skill
    Sep 17 2024
    Even with the often overwhelming amount of skills required to run a successful business, I still maintain that Writing is the one to rule them all...but, why? Before I answer, let me point out the fact that I'm calling this a "skill", not a "talent". Talents are innate, whereas skills can be learned. This is an important distinction to note because it is a common misconception that great writers are born, not made. I do agree that this skill is easier to develop for some, tougher for others, but nonetheless, whatever your starting point, you can intentionally improve your ability to write persuasively, and THAT is an incredible skill to possess. Listen and I'll explain it all in less than 5 minutes. Key Insights ​Why am I sure that Writing is the most important skill?​Writing is the engine that drives your businessRobert Caro's book The Power Broker is an incredible example of writing skill (and care, and dedication)Having the "Gift of Gab", or ability to drop witty quips on social, is not the same as persuasive writingShare valuable information that intentionally leads people to your product or serviceImprove your skills next week (9/23) at the free Words Into Wealth ChallengeGet people to pay you to help them by helping them first.Develop this skill and it will pay you back for the rest of your lifeVIP tickets for the challenge are available for only $47 - Click Here To Get Yours Video And Transcript https://www.rayedwards.com/666 Links The Words Into Wealth Challenge starts Monday, 9/23.
