But maybe we need a better way to handle those slow times.  Maybe those slow times are there for us to improve our product or service.  Maybe those slow times are there for us to position ourselves for success.

During this Episode of Enrichment Radio I focus on why businesses, especially small businesses and Entrepreneurs, need to keep the relationship with their customer in mind if they wish to keep their doors open.  I talk about relationships as the key to success and that continual business transactions occur when business relationships thrive. What this all boils down to is telling and living the story you have about yourself and the product or services you have to offer.  The more you share the story the more customers will remain loyal to you.  The more you live your story the more potential customers will be drawn to your goods and services. 00:16:00Enrichment Radionocustomer service,Entrepreneur,relationships,successSelling a product or service involves marketing yourself.https://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/12/10/the-complacent-entrepreneur-the-fast-track-to-failureBusinesshttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/12/10/the-complacent-entrepreneur-the-fast-track-to-failure/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/12/10/the-complacent-entrepreneur-the-fast-track-to-failureThu, 10 Dec 2015 16:00:00 GMTThe Complacent Entrepreneur: The Fast Track To FailureI once saw this sign in a small town grocery market, “If we don’t have it, you don’t need it.”  That market didn’t do much business because they had a limited amount of products to sell and the ones they did have were expired and covered with dust.  No wonder there weren’t many customers in that store.  Most people from that small town went elsewhere to get their groceries. My talk in this week’s Episode of Enrichment Radio focuses on why Entrepreneurs need to keep themselves fresh and ready to market their products and services.  Complacency and negativity can ruin a business. Figuring out a way to keep oneself in the game is a key ingredient to success in business. #garychomiakmentor 00:16:00Enrichment RadionoEntrepreneurs,Complacency,SuccessWhen Entrepreneurs offer less than their best, they are bound to fail.https://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/12/03/yes-your-work-does-matter-your-life-has-purpose-and-meaningBusinesshttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/12/03/yes-your-work-does-matter-your-life-has-purpose-and-meaning/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/12/03/yes-your-work-does-matter-your-life-has-purpose-and-meaningThu, 03 Dec 2015 16:00:00 GMTYes, Your Work Does Matter. Your Life Has Purpose And MeaningBack in May, 2015 I presented an Episode titled, ”The Question Every Entrepreneur Must Ask: Does My Work Matter?” This Episode of Enrichment Radio is a followup to that Episode I produced back in May.  I will talk about that moment when you realize the work you do truly matters to the people you serve in your business.  There is no amount of pain, frustration or setback that can compare to the sense that you have made a positive impact upon another human being.  This is why God put you on Planet Earth. The failures of the past and present are insignificant. We Entrepreneurs need to focus upon our core values and the success we hope to continually achieve as we do the work we enjoy doing for others. It is my hope you will be inspired to continue your work with confidence. 00:15:00Enrichment Radionosuccess,meaningful work,Entrepreneur,failure,core valuesPain, frustration, setbacks are nothing compared to the moment you realize your work matters.https://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/12/01/non-profits-you-cant-live-with-them-and-you-cant-live-without-themBusinesshttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/12/01/non-profits-you-cant-live-with-them-and-you-cant-live-without-them/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/12/01/non-profits-you-cant-live-with-them-and-you-cant-live-without-themTue, 01 Dec 2015 16:00:00 GMTNon-Profits: You Can't Live With Them and You Can't Live Without ThemMy apologies for not broadcasting this episode on Thursday, November 26, 2015. Non-Profits,This Episode of Enrichment Radio focuses on those people who work with a Non-Profit, (Director, Board Member or Staff Member).  Non-Profits are supposed to serve the needs of others, but unfortunately they become so focused on themselves they forget the reason they were created. In this Episode I will talk about the three things a Non-Profit needs to focus on to remain viable and valuable to the community.  I'll talk about the years experience I had while working in and woth Non-Profits.  I'll talk about those Non-Profits that 'got it' and those that, well, still don't have a clue.

This Episode of Enrichment Radio will focus on the importance of having a good sense of Self and why an overemphasis of helping others can lead to a whole lot of hurt for the helping person.  Helping oneself in the end helps others. 00:15:00Enrichment RadionoEntrepreneur,fulfillment,helping,enrichment,SelfIf you can't please yourself there is no way to please other people.https://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/11/12/why-you-need-to-do-work-as-if-you-did-it-for-free-the-star-trek-economyBusinesshttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/11/12/why-you-need-to-do-work-as-if-you-did-it-for-free-the-star-trek-economy/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/11/12/why-you-need-to-do-work-as-if-you-did-it-for-free-the-star-trek-economyThu, 12 Nov 2015 16:00:00 GMTWhy You Need To Do Work As If You Did It For Free: The Star Trek EconomyI've heard it said that the most satisfying form of work is the work we do as if we weren't getting paid to do it.  I tell prospective clients this when they ask how much I charge for my services.  I say, "I'd do this for free, if I didn't have to pay rent or put food on my table."  And its true. I remember watching the original Star Trek series as a young teenager and I recall they livied in an economy without money.  No wonder Captain Kirk was able to blast off to strange new planets at warp speed.  He had no monetary concerns.  No thinking to himself, "Damn.  I forgot to mail my mortgage payment this month." What I talk about in this episode of Enrichment Radio is a rationale for doing work for the sake of doing work, and how to live unfettered from the shackles of the monetary concerns which hold us back from living our lives to its fullest potential. 00:16:00Enrichment Radionowork,satisfaction,fulfillment,EntrepreneurWork for pay pays the bills and puts food on the table, but it does not enrich the soul.https://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/11/05/how-to-think-outside-the-box-when-there-is-no-boxBusinesshttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/11/05/how-to-think-outside-the-box-when-there-is-no-box/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/11/05/how-to-think-outside-the-box-when-there-is-no-boxThu, 05 Nov 2015 16:00:00 GMTHow To Think Outside The Box When There Is No BoxThinking Outside the Box is useful when an Entrepreneur is trying to come up with new ideas or direction for their business.  But there are times when thinking alone cannot help.  Intuition however, along with 'Outside the Box thinking', can help in these situations.  It doesn't make sense, it defies logic, but intuition can be the key to developing an effective strategy for success. I will explore ways Critical Thinking (the Outside the Box Thinking) and Intuition can be useful for the Entrepreneur.  I will talk about those influences that transcend human thinking and acjievement whether you call it Luck or the Divine or anything else which guide us in the right direction at the right time. 00:15:00Enrichment RadionoIntuition,Critical Thinking,Luck,The DivineCritical Thinking and Intuition can help Entrepreneurs persist when the chips are down.https://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/10/29/why-you-need-to-keep-a-youthful-mind-as-you-get-older-keeping-the-you-in-youthBusinesshttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/10/29/why-you-need-to-keep-a-youthful-mind-as-you-get-older-keeping-the-you-in-youth/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/10/29/why-you-need-to-keep-a-youthful-mind-as-you-get-older-keeping-the-you-in-youthThu, 29 Oct 2015 15:00:00 GMTWhy You Need To Keep A Youthful Mind As You Get Older. Keeping The YOU In YouthI've been around for a little while.  I grew up in the Sixties and have worked in a variety of occupations along the way.  Sometimes I surprise myself when I realize I'm over 60 years of age.  I don't feel 60, I don't think like I'm 60.  In fact, I still think I'm a teenager in high school.  So what has this done for me? It gives me the ability to be flexible and resilient.  It gives me an ability to have a positive outlook on life and to not be trapped in the past, especially when current circumstances seem very similar to my past failures. In this week's Episode of Enrichment Radio I will discuss the benefits a Youthful Mind can have when you're trying to run a business from scratch.  New Business Owners and Entrepreneurs will gain some insight and peace of mind as they ride a wild bull. 00:15:00Enrichment RadionoYouthfulness,Aging,Business,EntrepreneursGetting old doesn't mean you have to turn into an Old Fart.https://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/10/22/planned-spontaneity-and-other-oxymoronsBusinesshttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/10/22/planned-spontaneity-and-other-oxymorons/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/10/22/planned-spontaneity-and-other-oxymoronsThu, 22 Oct 2015 15:00:00 GMTPlanned Spontaneity and Other OxymoronsThe late Yogi Berra was great at making up all kinds of ridiculous sayings during his baseball career like, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”  It doesn’t make sense and yet it does, and its funny!  Entrepreneurship is a lot like these sayings.  Things we do don’t make sense sometimes and yet, upon reflection, they do.  And sometimes what we do is funny.

I'm going to talk about some things you will need to get together so once your dream becomes a reality there is noting that will cause it to slip away. Sometimes you got to sit down and really think things through.  There's an old organizational saying, "If there is not enough time to do things the right way, how come there is enough time to do them over again a second time?"  Entrepreneurs often fail to think through the consequences of their actions, because they base their actions on what is expedient. 00:15:00Enrichment RadionoEntrepreneur,Planning,Dreams,Organization,ExpedientHow to put your dreams into action.https://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/09/03/you-gotta-be-crazy-to-be-an-entrepreneurBusinesshttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/09/03/you-gotta-be-crazy-to-be-an-entrepreneur/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2015/09/03/you-gotta-be-crazy-to-be-an-entrepreneurThu, 03 Sep 2015 15:00:00 GMTYou Gotta Be Crazy To Be An Entrepreneur"You got to be out of your mind!", is what Entrepreneurs tell me the response they get when they told friends and family they were going into business for themselves.  This week I want to focus on just how crazy you need to be to start a business.  And I want to explain how it would be crazier to not go into business for yourself.

Meditating is one way I take a break from my business to be grounded.  It affords me an opportunity to shift from 'doing' to 'being'.  It helps me calm down, appreciate life in the here and now and grants me the clarity to connect my life's mission with who I am as a human being.

The thing we signed up for as Entrepreneurs is that there is no such thing as status quo.  What worked yesterday, won’t work today.  What we expect to be in the future will most likely not be.

This story will serve as a background to this episode.  I want to highlight the importance social consciousness plays in the mission of the Entrepreneur.  We do not live in a vacuum and the misery our fellow human beings suffer affects us and our bottom line.

Keeping focus on who we are and where we are headed is more important than the negativity we get from critics who do not have our best interest at heart.  Maintaining a non-anxious presence is one way we can live a meaningful and happy life.

One of my passions is creating a mentorship program for entrepreneurs.  I will discuss how a program like this can help entrepreuners learn the tricks of the trade so they may be able to master any situation they encounter in their business. Mentors taught me that my formal education wasn't intended to give me the answers, but that it would give me the skills to find the answers for myself; That the time to quit is when it isn't fun anymore; That my work is serious, but I shouldn't take myself too seriously. What I learned from Mentors is that it doesn't matter where you come from as much as where you are headed.

I have worked with my very dear friend whom has MS. It’s always been the people I love that give my life meaning and my care giving a priority.     My choice to become a massage therapist is my way of expanding my ability to help my family and my community. Throughout my training, I have learned the many benefits of massage and am eager to share them with the people in my life and expand to share with the larger community.   And of course, there are few things in life more pleasurable than a great massage.   You feel the pleasure; your body experiences the healing.    Allow me to be part of your life by sharing my knowledge, passion and nurturing.   Website: http://www.gspa.massagetherapy.com/home00:32:00Enrichment RadionoMassage,Deep Tissue Massage,Swedish Massage,Pregnancy Massage,Myofascial ReleaseHello, my name is Giovanna Spata.  I discovered the therapeutic effects of massage through my own journey to health.   I worked for many years as a high stresshttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2013/05/21/mark-reason-reasonable-detailingBusinesshttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2013/05/21/mark-reason-reasonable-detailing/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/garychomiak/2013/05/21/mark-reason-reasonable-detailingTue, 21 May 2013 18:00:00 GMTMark Reason: Reasonable Detailing Mark Reason, Owner of Reasonable Auto Detailing will be my guest on this episode of Enrichment Radio.  Mark single handedly will detail your car, truck, boat, RV, you name it and at a reasonable rate.  Listen in on his story to find the details on a detailer's life and work.

This is what Joe has to say about himself: Residential Loan Specialist with Jayco Capital Group located in Newport Beach, a "Direct Lender" specializing in the Super Jumbo home loan market. We offer Conventional loans, VA, FHA, CalSTRS as well as hard money loans. I have covered that wide area that straddle's the L.A./Orange County Line for over 20 years. In today's mortgage market, it takes a lot more than knowing how to fill out an application and smile. The days of sub-prime are long gone and so are those loan officers who only needed to get a FICO score. Today you need to know your underwriting guidelines through and through, you need to know the appraisal process, value trends, be well versed in the Mortgage Backed Securities Market and Know How to Close Escrow On Time. I have closed hundreds of home loans, I speak Spanish, have a full office in my home, life is good and I look forward to answering any questions you may have.
