You’re pushed to take action immediately—not by buying gear, courses, or tools, but by selling what you already have to get real-world wins fast. As you move, you build confidence, momentum, and the all-important belief that fuels every entrepreneurial step of your Charmed Life. Listener reviews highlight how authentic, actionable, and inspiring this mindset is, especially when paired with smart discussions about AI and real business challenges.</p> <p class="p1">You also dive into the big question: <i>How long should you give a business idea before you pivot or pull the plug?</i> The hosts break down a practical two-year model—one year to learn, one year to execute—and frame it all as an experiment rather than a lifelong commitment. This approach frees you to test ideas boldly, adapt quickly, and make decisions with clarity instead of emoti</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1">00:00:00 <a href="https://businessbrain.show/">Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast</a> #708 for Wednesday, <a href="https://nationaltoday.com/december-10">December 10th</a>, 2025</li> <li aria-level="1">00:01:00 December 10th: <a href="https://nationaltoday.com/national-lager-day/">National Lager Day</a> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.caesars.com/caesars-republic-lake-tahoe/restaurants/wolf-by-vanderpump">Wolf by Vanderpump in Lake Tahoe</a></li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.trumerusa.com/beer">Trumer Pilsner</a></li> </ul> </li> <li aria-level="1">00:02:32 Belief Before Ability <ul> <li aria-level="1">Take action right away</li> <li aria-level="1">For example: in the reselling business, don’t buy anything first.

Shannon and Dave push you to reframe your mindset from <i>have to</i> to <i>get to</i>, reinforcing that shared effort fuels momentum. You’ll see how celebrating your team—especially on Extraordinary Work Team Recognition Day—creates a culture where contribution feels meaningful and progress stays sustainable.</p> <p class="p1">Then you dive into the art of employing confident helpfulness. You’re coached to stop bending over backward until clients walk all over you and to use clarity as your strongest service tool. Sometimes the most helpful thing you can do is tell someone that what they want isn’t the process. You’ll learn to choose a blunt-and-polite mindset—the one that says they’re lucky to do business with you—so you protect your boundaries, elevate your value, and lead with intention.</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1">00:00:00 <a href="https://businessbrain.show/">Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast</a> #706 for Thursday, <a href="https://nationaltoday.com/december-4">December 4th</a>, 2025 <ul> <li aria-level="1">December 4th: <a href="https://nationaltoday.com/extraordinary-work-team-recognition-day/">Extraordinary Work Team Recognition Day</a></li> </ul> </li> <li aria-level="1">00:01:58 The work is the reward <ul> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mindfulness-insights/202503/the-overlooked-and-misunderstood-arrival-fallacy">The arrival fallacy</a></li> <li aria-level="1">We GET to do this together!</li> </ul> </li> <li aria-level="1">00:11:21 SPONSOR: <a href="https://quickbooks.com/payroll">Intuit QuickBooks Payroll</a> – Take control with QuickBooks Payroll today at <a href="https://quickbooks.com/payroll">QuickBooks.com/payroll</a></li> <li aria-level="1">00:12:45 SPONSOR: <a href="https://www.rula.com/businessbrain/">Rula</a> patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

You learn why permissionless UTMs let you track audience behavior without waiting for approval, giving you a sharper view of what actually moves the needle. Then you’re pushed to rethink how you approach follow-ups and persistence — not as nagging, but as the habit-forming consistency that makes people naturally want to work with you. This is where you start building your own Charmed Life.</p> <p class="p1">We also explore how relationship shifts inside a company — especially when your point of contact changes — can either stall progress or open a fresh lane of opportunity. Instead of letting transitions derail you, you discover how to re-establish trust, reset expectations, and keep deals alive. It’s a tactical episode that blends marketing precision with human strategy to keep your entrepreneurial engine running smoothly.</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1">00:00:00 <a href="https://businessbrain.show/">Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast</a> #704 for Wednesday, <a href="https://nationaltoday.com/november-26">November 26th</a>, 2025 <ul> <li aria-level="1">November 26th: <a href="https://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-day/national-cake-day-november-26">National Cake Day</a></li> </ul> </li> <li aria-level="1">00:01:34 What do you use Business Brain</li> <li aria-level="1">00:02:05 Permissionless <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTM_parameters">UTM</a>s <ul> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://businessbrain.show/review?utm_source=bb704&amp;utm_campaign=bb704">https://businessbrain.show/review?utm_source=bb704&amp;utm_campaign=bb704</a></li> </ul> </li> <li aria-level="1">00:11:04 SPONSOR: <a href="https://shopify.com/businessbrain">Shopify</a> – For anyone to sell anywhere, sign up for a one-dollar-per month trial period at <a href="https://shopify.com/businessbrain">Shopify.com/BusinessBrain</a> and upgrade your selling today!</li> <li aria-level="1">00:13:02 SPONSOR: <a href="https://masterclass.com/BUSINESSBRAIN">MasterClass</a>.

With prompts designed to surface hidden assumptions and second-order effects, you learn how to turn AI into a sharper strategic partner. The hosts walk you through asking AI to SWOT your life, push for specific examples, and then combine strengths and weaknesses so you can take real corrective action instead of just collecting insights.</p> <p class="p1">This episode also shows you how to redirect AI when answers drift and how to make it ask <i>you</i> smarter questions—especially when building plans or creative projects. The big takeaway: frequent use and strategic prompting erase resistance and unlock the clarity that fuels your Charmed Life. When you know how to steer the conversation, AI becomes a force multiplier for both your business and your thinking.</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1">00:00:00 <a href="https://businessbrain.show/">Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast</a> #703 for Casual FridAI, <a href="https://nationaltoday.com/november-21">November 21st</a>, 2025 <ul> <li aria-level="1">November 21st: <a href="https://nationaltoday.com/national-gingerbread-cookie-day/">National Gingerbread Cookie Day</a></li> </ul> </li> <li aria-level="1">00:01:41 AI Prompt to find the blind spots <ul> <li aria-level="1">AI Prompt: What are the blind spots, hidden assumptions, or second-order effects that I might be missing?</li> </ul> </li> <li aria-level="1">00:06:47 AI Prompt: Based upon everything you know about me I want you to SWOT my life. <ul> <li aria-level="1">Follow-up Prompt: Give me three specific examples of each of the 4 categories</li> <li aria-level="1">Follow-up-follow-up: Take those 12 things and apply the six positives about me to the six negatives so that we can address these issues.</li> </ul> </li> <li aria-level="1">00:09:46 SPONSOR: <a href="https://surfshark.com/businessbrain">Surfshark</a>.
