Be Contagious
Mar 19, 202000:08:32Tap to summarizeDuring this season of "social distancing", today I invite you to Be Contagious. As a pre-teen, there was one person who fundamentally changed my life by the way she lived. And it wasn't until she passed did I come to understand all of the trials she had personally endured. She lost big chunks of her life to a medical condition that required her to be cut off from human contact for weeks or months at a time. In those seasons of trial, she developed intangible qualities that later sowed into me and shaped me into the person I am today. By sharing her story today, I hope this encourages and inspires you to be contagious. Text us feedback on this episode #TeamLOVE Book.

Transcribe →Barb Lownsbury, Overcoming Life's Dented Fender
Mar 17, 202000:34:31Tap to summarizeThere are times in life when we have that new car, showroom feel. Business, relationships and finances are all prospering. And without warning, something unexpected happens (like the current situation in the world) and our shiny "new car "gets smashed and we get a dented fender. It's those roadblocks/moments that often define our lives. And when we invite God into those moments, He helps us define those moments for the better. Today's guest, Barb Lownsbury, knows this story all too well. She's the founder and executive director of the Dented Fender Ministry in Cincinnati, OH. After a difficult divorce, bankruptcy and season of being a single parent, Barb rose again running a successful insurance practice. And then, boom, God placed a new call upon her life. Barb has been a spiritual mentor of mine for many years. She was right there, sitting next to me when I got that "Lightning Bolt" moment (episode 005) to seek my new calling to begin this work. ***Links from this episode:Book: Using What’s Broken to Boldly ShineMinistry page: www.thedentedfender.comFacebook: @thedentedfenderInstagram: @thedentedfenderText us feedback on this episode #TeamLOVE Book.

Transcribe →Chad Jeffers, The Soundtrack of Our Life
Mar 12, 202000:38:56Tap to summarizeCounty music artist/musician/producer, Chad Jeffers epitomizes Steve Martin’s famous saying, “be so good they can’t ignore you”. His self proclaimed “major in a minor instrument” (aka: slide guitar), natural talent and heart for others has propelled his country music career since the age of 8 after being chased by thousands of teenage girls. After a Billboard top 25 hit with his own band, Chad began backing up some of music’s biggest names like Keith Urban, Kenny Loggins, Jamie O’Neal and many others. And in 2007, he started touring with country superstar, Carrie Underwood. In his travels, he’s played Live 8, appeared on nearly every major awards show from the Grammys to the American Music Awards to the CMA’s, and performed in front of hundreds of thousands of people around the world from Afghanistan to Japan. In Fall 2019 he released, BackStage Notes, which is an intro course into the careers of Music, released by his publishing company. All along, he’s been giving talks and lectures on many different stages.“Music has the power to change the world. I feel that my role is to entertain, inspire and educate others on exactly how they can express themselves through music. Being on stage with world-renowned artists as a musician is my passion, but being on stage as a speaker to inspire others, is my purpose.”Links:Chad Jeffers on LinkedInChad’s Checklist: 6 Steps to Be Performance ReadyBackstage Notes (course & coaching)Text us feedback on this episode #TeamLOVE Book.

Transcribe →Waiting Creates Awakening
Mar 10, 202000:09:51Tap to summarizeIn our last episode, Teresa shared about her season of waiting as she transitioned from a calling/ministry she loved into a new world of her vocation which would give her greater time and financial freedom to be even more intentional in her one and only Real Life. As I was relistening to episode 34, not only did her words resonate with me, they echoed in my soul. You see, today, March 10, 2020 is my last day of my 50s. Tomorrow I turn 60 years young. And as I said to Teresa on the last podcast, each decade of life is it’s own chapter for me. One thing I KNOW about each decade is that the next one is better and more fulfilling to me than the one before. And if I had to pick one word for my 50s, I would say WAITING. Now WAITING, that’s a very challenging word for me to embrace. I’m a high D-decisive in DISC. A high Quick Start on Kolbe and type 3 Achiever/forward leaning type on the Enneagram. WAITING is not my natural posture. Instead of ready, aim, shoot. I’m the shoot, come-on let’s get going type. Find out why WAITING has created AWAKENING in this episode. ***So, let's draw deeper faith, inspiration and encouragement in our Begin Again moments.

Transcribe →Teresa McCloy, Cultivating Real Life Seasons
Mar 7, 202000:31:12Tap to summarizeMastermind friend and executive coach, Teresa McCloy shares her Begin Again story of courage to start over as an entrepreneur after a business failure and 15 years in ministry. Teresa and I share a love of the imagery of "seasons" of life. Listen carefully about her season of waiting and preparation: this will speak to you if your plans are not progressing as quickly as you would like. Her rich and wise experience of living on a farm imbues her new calling with grace, surrender and trust. Personally, I had to listen to this episode a couple of times to harvest more of the wisdom from a life well lived and of a calling that's just emerging. ***Connect with Teresa: Teresa.McCloy.comTeresa on Facebook Teresa on LinkedInThe Enneagram in your REALIFE podcast***During my birthday month of March, I'm once again offering free 30 minute business alignment sessions.

Transcribe →The Ripple Effect
Mar 6, 202000:09:24Tap to summarizePerhaps you remember being by the edge of a body of still water. You pick up a big rock and you throw it as high and as far away as you possibly can. In a few seconds, you hear it ... "ker-plunk". Then, in concentric circles in every direction, you begin to see the ripples move across the pond. Drifting closer and closer to you. Bigger and bigger circles of impact. Our lives are a lot like the ripple effect. We share a kind word, hold a door open for an elder, finally make an overdue decision. Take an action of any kind. And as we release our gifts into God's creation, ripples of impact we cannot yet see or imagine spread out in every direction. In this episode, you will hear how an action several months ago came washing back to me last weekend. ***Watch Maria's Video Winston's Free Resources***During my birthday month of March, I'm once again offering free 30 minute business alignment sessions, just like the one Maria experienced a few months ago.

Transcribe →90 Minutes Changed Everything
Feb 21, 202000:09:54Tap to summarizeLast Friday morning, I had just recorded a Facebook Live in my series "Walk with Winston". The topic? Creating more margin and time freedom in your business. 90 minutes later, everything changed. A call from my sister to meet her at the hospital made the words from my Facebook Live even more prophetic. A week later, I have an even deeper perspective on the need for intentionality around creating margin in your business. This episode is my first without notes or an outline. It's raw and to the point. I'd like your direct feedback about this episode and about creating more margin in your business.

Transcribe →The Cloak of Invisibility
Feb 11, 202000:08:33Tap to summarizeI have a question for you, online business owner? Are you hiding? I sometimes hide behind a cloak of invisibility. I’m now entering month three of building business three, this time almost exclusively in the online world. Yet, I'm finding how easy it is to hide behind my screen. It’s so darn easy to hide, even in online business, behind the cloak of invisibility. We can spend days writing our website copy, developing our ICA, writing opt-ins and email funnels. Many of us are afraid of getting out from behind our screen and engaging with real, life people. Heck, we can even hide while recording Facebook Lives, InstaStories or podcasts putting out safe content because we fear the haters or critics. Business, especially online business, is built on person to person connection. And business requires risks: you have to get out there regardless of the fear of being misunderstood or misaligned with your ideal clients. God hears our prayers for provision, but He also expects us to do our part in connecting and creating clients. I draw courage from this speech that my mom gave me to place in my football locker way back in high school. It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -Teddy Roosevelt, April 1910Perhaps you would welcome a supportive, loving and FREE online community to help you drop the cloak and step out into your true potential as a future 6 and 7 figure impact business owner.

Transcribe →Why Begin Again?
Feb 2, 202000:09:10Tap to summarizeMy question to you. Why Begin Again? I have three quotes in this episode which will encourage and inspire you. I get some pretty interesting reactions when I talk about persistence, perseverance and worthy failures. Most people who know me well, see me as an optimistic, inspiring and uplifting leader. Many times they don’t say this to me, but you can see the wheels turning in their mind: there’s a real disconnect here. Why would someone who seems so accomplished, so successful talk about a difficult subject like persistence. How do positivity and perseverance go together in building a good life and a strong business? I have three phrases in this episode that will help build your faith and accelerate your Begin Again seasons of life.***Over the next several weeks, you are going to hear even more stories from others who are sharing their Begin Again moments here on the podcast. It’s my prayer that this variety of experience will touch you in different situations and seasons of life. And if you have a story you’d like to share on the podcast DM me @winstonfaircloth on Instagram or contact us via the email below. ***So, let's draw deeper faith, inspiration and encouragement in our Begin Again moments.
