011 Mitch Russo: Certification Programs: A Sales Force That Pays YOU

The Vacation Effect

In this Episode, Denise and Mitch discuss:

• The importance of self-care as a busy entrepreneur, and Mitch’s favorite self-care strategies that have kept him sane even when managing large organizations where he was CEO.
• How certification programs can help companies grow, and in fact, and they can provide your company with a sales force that pays YOU (versus the other way around.)
• A high level of how to create a certification program, and when you should consider it.
• Some of the best revenue streams that most entrepreneurs overlook.
• How to manage virtual teams really well and build an incredible culture.

Key Takeaways:

• You can build a certification program to allow others to sell your products and services for you – offering regular, increasing cash flow. It’s a true “win-win”.
• You may think you are the only one who can provide your services well, but that generally isn’t true.
• Use meditation as your secret weapon, especially on your busiest days to bring some calm to the noise.
• To build a successful virtual team, you need to communicate with the team a lot more than you think you do.

“On particularly busy days, I take double the time to meditate because I know that I need to sort things out on a spiritual level before they will sort themselves out on the physical level.” - Mitch Russo
