On this episode of the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast, my guest is one of my very favorite people - Pat Flynn. I know most of you already know Pat, but if you don't, he is a well-known and highly successful online entrepreneur. He is a podcaster, blogger and author and is best known for his transparent leadership style and smart business strategies. He blogs at smartpassiveincome.com and has a podcast by the same name. Now there are a dozen topics Pat and I could discuss that would be highly valuable if you are growing an online business - but I am going to do something a bit different with this interview. About a week ago I saw a Facebook post from Pat where he talked about all the hard work and dedication he put into one keynote presentation he recently did for a financial bloggers’ conference called FinCon. The post is inspirational and demonstrates the mindset needed to succeed, and after reading it I had so many questions for him, I decided to invite him onto the show.   In this episode, here’s what we’ll cover: The importance of focusing on one thing at a time What Pat told himself in his head in order for his FinCon speech to be successful How speaking can help you in other parts of your life and business What Pat does to make sure he stays the course How Pat sets big goals and priorities What Pat told himself to keep from procrastinating What you have to do to make goals real How fear is a disservice to your audience How to grow your confidence Tips for finding a mastermind that's right for you And so much more!
