The Daniel Gefen Show: Daily Motivation and Inspirational Sound Bites

  I just recorded the last episode of The Daniel Gefen Show  I’m heartbroken … but it’s for the best. I made a commitment this year that I am going to be really INTENTIONAL with my time. Ruthlessly focused on achieving my goals. So I took a hard look at every activity I was involved in on a daily basis and asked myself this ONE QUESTION … Is this getting me closer to achieving my goals this year? If the answer was no then I CUT IT OUT like a surgeon cuts through the flesh to save an organ. I loved recording my daily show and I got so many incredible responses from people who were affected by it. But time is too precious and sometimes we must sacrifice the short term wins for long term success. We need to ZOOM OUT, zoom in, ZOOM OUT, zoom in. If the small picture doesn’t align with the big picture we must cut it out. We are constantly creating our collage of life. Piece by piece. We must choose the right pieces or we won’t end up achieving what we set out to do. We must say no to many things so we can get to our ultimate YES. If you don’t know where you’re going how can you expect to get there? I’m going to be HYPER FOCUSED on growing my podcast booking agency Gefen Media Group and my weekly podcast show ‘Can I Pick Your Brain?’  Be BOLD, Be PURPOSEFUL, Be INTENTIONAL and Become the BEST VERSION OF YOU.

Yesterday I cut off a sales call after 7 mins. I turned down an opportunity to run a networking event. And I rescheduled a podcast appearance. Why? Because they were not directly serving my monthly goal. Did you enjoy this show? Please subscribe to my other podcast on iTunes, CAN I PICK YOUR BRAIN?

“Maybe I should lower my prices?”  NO! That’s the lazy loser approach. If people are not buying from you it’s because you either a) Haven’t built enough trust b) Haven’t sold them the value c) Haven’t targeted the right clients You need to …  RAISE your VALUE  BUILD your SELF BELIEF  INCREASE your AUTHORITY  TARGET your IDEAL CLIENTS  FOCUS on your UNIQUE OFFER Don’t let doubts get in your way of success. The ONLY reason you feel the need to lower your rates is because you got sold. You were sold by others that you weren’t valuable enough. Stop buying other people’s BS! Raise your game and raise your rates. REMEMBER: You are either selling or being sold. Did you enjoy this episode?

  I’m so sick and tired of all the online marketing BS that filled up my feed in 2018. Fake influencers, cute quotes, crappy courses, quick fixes, empty promises. Too much fluff and zero substance.  Lot’s of hot air and thick smoke. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH It’s time to expose it all. It’s time for a change. 2019 is the year I show you what REAL TRANSFORMATION really looks like.   Did you enjoy this episode?

I turned down $20,000 because I put principles before temptation.  It wasn’t an easy decision but it felt right. I made a commitment to myself to stay true to what I believe in and never be pulled away from my core missions in life.  No matter the price. The path to success is pathed with distractions disguised as shiny opportunities. In today’s episode of The Daniel Gefen Show I share what those core principles are and my thought process behind my decision.   Did you enjoy this episode?

I went through an emotional breakdown.  It felt like I was building a business on quicksand. Working tirelessly to keep it afloat. I felt heavy, exhausted and drained. Waiting for each day to end. Started to doubt myself and my abilities. Thinking I was an imposter. And then with the help of a friend I realised that I was operating outside my zone of genius. It was like I woke up from a bad dream. I felt renewed, invigorated. I felt alive again! When i’m in my zone of genius it doesn’t feel like work. It feels like play. It almost feels like I shouldn’t get paid for doing this. I feel empowered and alive. My zone of genius is educating, inspiring and empowering others to become greater versions of themselves. To help them uncover their unique value they bring to the world. To help them become so magnetically attractive that people are lining up to work with them. To help them get in front of thousands of ideal clients while having a ton of fun. What’s YOUR zone of genius? Did you enjoy this episode?

Sometimes our creativity goes into hibernation. We get a creative block and it can be very frustrating.

I kept telling my 10 year old to grow up and stop crying. Today I attended a workshop on listening and realised that I wasn’t allowing my son to naturally express himself. When we don’t allow our children to express themselves naturally they will express themselves unnaturally in the forms of escapism, addiction, attention seeking etc. It was a huge awakening for me. Not only as a parent but as a husband, friend and businessman. The importance of self expression is crucial to healthy relationships. Being listened to without judgement and being free to express yourself fully in a safe environment is a basic human need. Something as simple as unbiased listening can be one of the most powerful gifts we can give to people (including ourselves).   Did you enjoy this episode?

My emotions were running wild again. A fight was breaking out and I found myself in an all too familiar situation. A battle of the mind with opposing thoughts wrestling each other in the ring. Fear, Desire, Passion, Doubt, Pressure and Willpower were all going at each other. The usual response was fight or flight. Either get caught in the middle of it or run away. There was that familiar guy known as ‘Escape’ telling me to run and hide. But then something interesting happened. A paradigm shift. I paused and observed. I asked myself why I had to either fight or run. Why can’t I not just stay and observe? So that’s what I did. And a magical thing happened. Nothing. I took a step back outside of myself and became an unbiased observer. It was powerfully liberating. I felt in total control because I let go. I felt peaceful and wholesome because I tapped in to something Godly. Have you ever experience something like this? Did you enjoy this episode?

Self pity is one of the most destructive emotions. Even more destructive than the event that brought about the emotion in the first place. Self acceptance, on the other hand, is one of the most powerful. When we turn our self pity into self acceptance we become stronger, more creative, more at peace. We attract positivity instead of negativity into our lives. Pity Enables. Acceptance Empowers. Did you enjoy this episode?

I decided to write down my purpose in life so I can remind myself daily what I want to achieve. Here it is … “My purpose is to give a voice to the ‘Hidden Heroes’ who lack the knowledge and resources to spread their message to the world through the power of leveraging media and my increasing circle of influence. I will become increasingly obsessed with helping purpose driven people express themselves and deliver their message to their ideal audience. My services will generate personal wealth which will allow me to help even more people and dedicate my time to discovering the ‘Hidden Heroes’ among us.” Did you enjoy this episode?

Ego is never satisfied Sometimes the only person that knows the truth is the person themselves Do I honestly give selflessly, or do I give because I expect something in return?

You have to follow your passion” – Bad advice. Responsibility comes before passion. Hard work comes before passion. Commitment comes before passion. The online ‘Guru’s’ make it look so easy. They sell you the dream life. They talk about being ‘successful’ Doing honest work to feed my family is real success. When you dream too much you never wake up. Wake up to the reality that responsibility, hard work and commitment cannot be replaced by passion. Our grandparents worked hard to make a living. They didn’t binge watch inspirational videos on YouTube. There’s too many starving artists. Too many broke online celebrities. Stop trying to chase a dream and focus on making a living.
