Awaken the Wonder Inside—Become A Master Asker

Best Seller TV, the only show dedicated to covering today’s best-selling business books on C-Suite TV,  is kicking off the new year by announcing a new episode featuring Mark Victor Hansen and Crystal Dwyer Hansen, authors of Ask! The Bridge From Your Dreams To Your Destiny.

The book is a guide to awaken the inate ability of every human being to ask questions. While kids are naturally inquisitive, Crystal says that “Over time, just through basic life rejections, people get shot down. That spirit of asking gets crushed out of them.” They say that asking is truly the only thing that has the ability to reveal what’s hidden in our lives and “that is powerful.”

Learning the magic of asking can be achieved by three equally important channels: ask yourself, ask others, ask God. The book is chock-full of personal anecdotes and tidbits capable of re-instilling our natural curiosity to ask questions. The genesis of the book, which is extremely relevant, is to go back to a time in our lives where we were unafraid to ask for everything we wanted.  “It’s important for each of us to become master askers,” the Hansens said. That’s the main reason they wanted to bring this particular message to the world.

Mark Victor Hansen has authored many books, including the world-famous “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series. However, this is the first book he’s ever co-authored with his wife, Crystal Dwyer Hansen, a health and wellness author and entrepreneur in her own right. The Hansens were unsure about how their first foray into co-authoring would go, but according to Crystal, “It sort of fell into place kind of magically.” They discussed the framework of the book collectively, then each fell into their respective lanes of expertise, making collaboration a seamless process.

While everyone faces adversity, Mark Victor offers some sage advice, originated in his own hardship, including bankruptcy. He added, “I’ve always taken adversity and turn it into an advantage.” Out of this adversity, everyone can learn how to ask.

During the interview, they also covered the six destinies everyone has, a personal anecdote about their young grandson that directly correlates to the book’s themes, and a reminder that “one question can pivot your entire career.”

 

All episodes of Best Seller TV air on C-Suite TV and are hosted by TV personality, Taryn Winter Brill.

Best-selling author, speaker, and former Fortune 100 CMO Jeffrey Hayzlett created Best Seller TV to give top-tier business authors a forum for sharing thought-provoking insights, in-depth business analysis, and their compelling personal narratives.

“I’ve known Mark Victor for a number of years, and now his wife Crystal, and I can’t think of better people to kick off the new year with,” Hayzlett said. “They bring incredible insights as a result of their travels, speaking to people from all walks of life, and their life experiences. I’m positive our audience will find much needed inspiration in this interview, especially during these difficult times we’re experiencing.”

Creating Disruption in the Self-Help Book Industry

Best Seller TV, the only show dedicated to covering today’s best-selling business books on C-Suite TV, is announcing a new episode featuring Kelly Fuhlman, author of Be the Hero and Rescue Yourself: Creating the Inner Courage To Wear Your Own Cape.

Fuhlman, a first-time author, wrote the book to give people the opportunity to read and understand some of the lessons she learned throughout her life, while providing encouragement to journal their own ideas and solve their own problems. She says, “I have learned that people do better if they create their own strategy instead of someone handing it over to them.”

The book is about heroes in her own life that have come to her rescue and opened doors and opportunities; however, at the end of the day, it’s up to each and every single person to put in the work and rescue themselves. Fuhlman wanted to create a disruption in the self-help book industry and drive home the notion that life isn’t about “10 easy steps” – it’s far more complex than that.

After being laid off from the Disney Institute, she decided to write a book, start a podcast, and create opportunities for herself at a time where she felt the rug was being pulled from under her. These opportunities led to growth and learning, but the journey wasn’t a perfect one. In fact, one of the chapter titles in her book is  called, “My crown is crooked (and so is yours)” to reinforce the point that there’s no one path to success. Everyone must choose their own way and not rely on anyone else to rescue them.

Fuhlman wrote the book for anyone struggling to move forward, personally or professionally. This easy read aims to have great impact for readers as they reflect on the lessons learned and empowers them to write down their own thoughts, build their own plan, and move forward.

“At the end of the day, it’s up to you,” she concludes.

“Opportunities are available to everyone who wants them. Even during crisis, there are opportunities to be had. This episode provides a simple, yet meaningful message for anyone looking to move forward,” Hayzlett said. “After the year we had, we all want to move forward, but it’s simple – it all starts and begins with you. You are the hero of your own story.”

Understanding How To Be A Leader

Best Seller TV, the only show dedicated to covering today’s best-selling business books on C-Suite TV,  is announcing a new episode featuring Dawn S. Kirk, author of Heartbeat Leadership: Empower Yourself, Engage Your Team and Impact Your Organization.

Corporate America can be an overwhelming place, and author Dawn S. Kirk decided to write her first solo book to empower those who often feel unheard in meetings. She wanted to ensure no one else felt like she did when they walked into a room because every person has something to offer and has value that can be added to any organization.

Kirk’s 26-year career in corporate America launched her on a quest to better understand what it meant to be a leader and to become the best version of herself. She recounts some experiences in that realm not being as positive as they could’ve been and realized, “The goals I set for myself were greater than the obstacles I was going to face.” This is the impetus for the book – getting out that message of empowerment to as many people as possible.

Kirk says the book is for those already in leadership positions to become better leaders and for those who are not feeling heard. She uses the subtitle, “Empower Yourself” so people know they have a choice to empower themselves in any situation. The book is also for those responsible for larger teams to help them fully engage everyone and tapping into their potential.

She also argues that many organizations have a “heart problem,” where they’re focused on the bottom line more than they are focused on their people. While there’s nothing wrong with profitability, when that comes at the expense of the people, that’s when they have a heart problem. Kirk states, “At the end of the day, the heart of the business are the people that work for you. I truly believe people are your competitive advantage.”

“People are the cog that keeps your business running. There’s nothing wrong with profits, but they shouldn’t come at the expense of your people,” Hayzlett said. “This episode highlights that principle of leadership and addresses what every leader should do – engage their teams, listen to everyone’s ideas and ensure everyone feels heard and that their ideas will have a direct impact on the overall business goals.”

Why Your Sales Process Should Never Go Stale

Best Seller TV, the only show dedicated to covering today’s best-selling business books on C-Suite TV,  is announcing a new episode featuring Jeff Brandeis, author of Done Deal: The Step By Step Handbook to Sell Success.

Brandeis, a former accountant who transitioned into the sales realm, enjoyed being outside making things happen and selling to the same group of professionals he was once a part of. He made a conscious effort to gear the book content towards sales professionals and the 5-step process that every company should have. Brandeis insists that every company should have a documented sales process, no matter whether they’re selling a product or service.

Brandeis details 5 steps of the sales process as:

  • Getting someone interested in your product
  • Discover their needs and understand what they like/don’t like, and why
  • Understand the problem you’re solving
  • Reach alignment and a full agreement
  • Sign the contract and close the deal

He also points out the biggest mistakes in sales by stating that salespeople are usually ahead of the buyers in the sales cycle. This misstep is what causes some to be bad forecasters. Another mistake is that they fail to recognize that the prospect may not be the only decision-maker they need to reach in order to close the sale.

While there’s no sure-fire way to troubleshoot every problem, Brandeis says it’s on every sales person to try to uncover everything there is to uncover.

Brandeis also encourages sales professionals to remain innovative and continue honing their skills. He argues that while the sales process itself doesn’t drastically change, the tools and technology used do. He states that there are some companies who haven’t fully trained employees on how to sell remotely and have failed to transition effectively, affecting the sales quotas and other metrics.

“If you don’t keep your sales skills up, and constantly look for new techniques and new styles, then your techniques will get stale,” Brandeis says. He adds, “Sales is a perishable…like a banana.”

“In any industry, staying current and innovative is a key differentiator between succeeding and thriving,” Hayzlett said. “Jeff’s journey from accountant to sales professional gives him an inside track of what’s needed to thrive in an industry ruled by competition and metrics. Follow the 5 easy steps highlighted in the episode – it’s a good start to stay informed and ahead of the competition.”

How Mentors Can Become Catalysts For Success

Best Seller TV, the only show dedicated to covering today’s best-selling business books on C-Suite TV,  is announcing a new episode featuring Kevin Harrington, author of Mentor to Millions: Secrets of Success in Business Relationships and Beyond.

Harrington is most commonly known as one of the original “sharks” on the TV show, “Shark Tank,” as well as the inventor of the ‘informmercial.’ He has also spent four decades as a ‘serial entrepreneur’ and by writing this book, his focus is helping other entrepreneurs find success through mentorship.

Harrington says that having a mentor – whether in business or in life, can help create exponential effects for the business, which can also add millions of dollars in revenue. As a young entrepreneur, his first mentor was his father Charlie and that continued throughout his formative years.  In the 80’s, he came up with a $50 million a year business: the informmercial. By deciding to fill six hours of dead air, he showcased the “As Seen on TV” products, and while successful, it left him strapped for money. He took every money of profit and put it back into inventory.

When banks denied him a line of credit, that’s when he decided it was time for a mentor, specifically in the financial industry. Having no skillset in that area, he searched for someone who did – eventually granting him a $3 million line of credit.

Harrington describes mentorship as “free advice,” but it’s more than just advice. He adds, “If you’re going to get a mentor, make sure you’re the mentor’s best student.” It’s not just free, one-way advice.

 

 

He encourages people to start looking for mentors online, in entrepreneurial groups, and other platforms. However, he says the best place to start is by inquiring within your inner circle. Harrington advises, “The first thing you do is “raise your hand.” However, it goes beyond saying ‘I need a mentor.’ Once you start making inquiries, you must act upon it. Build a symbiotic relationship and take that knowledge and put it into practice.

All episodes of Best Seller TV air on C-Suite TV and are hosted by TV personality, Taryn Winter Brill.

Best-selling author, speaker, and former Fortune 100 CMO Jeffrey Hayzlett created Best Seller TV to give top-tier business authors a forum for sharing thought-provoking insights, in-depth business analysis, and their compelling personal narratives.  

“I’ve known Kevin for a long time and his track record speaks for itself. He’s a great entrepreneur with a lot of knowledge and the advice he dispenses throughout the episode is unparalleled,” Hayzlett said. “I remember my first mentor and the lessons he taught me that, to this day, I still apply to my business. Mentorship is a powerful tool that doesn’t cost money. Take advantage of every opportunity, watch this episode, and read Kevin’s book for great takeaways that can change your life for the better.”

What’s Your Zone of Fire?

Best Seller TV, the only show dedicated to covering today’s best-selling business books on C-Suite TV,  is announcing a new episode featuring John Lee Dumas, author of The Common Path to Uncommon Success: A Roadmap to Financial Freedom and Fulfillment.

Dumas, best known for building a successful podcast empire where he shares value with his more than 1.4 million listeners each month, wrote the book, because he wants to help everyone – not just his audience, achieve financial freedom. He said, “I want everybody who has a dream of finding their version of uncommon success. Everybody who has a dream of achieving financial freedom and fulfillment. This book will get you there.”

Dumas says that so “many people out there live in their comfort zone,” including himself and that’s why he decided to write a book. However, he knew he had to have the right team in place to ensure the book was successful and help as many as possible. Deciding what to include was a thoughtful process that Dumas describes as painstaking process boiling down over 3,000 interviews into 17 core principles.

The book is a roadmap to achieve success and financial freedom. Dumas adds, “The path to uncommon success is not a secret, it’s not complicated, it’s not hidden. It’s a common path but it takes hard flipping work.”

After chasing success for over three decades, he kept coming up short. Whether it was law school, commercial real estate, or other ventures, it was an Einstein quote that launched his future. That’s when he decided to stop chasing success and become a person that adds value.

Dumas has been able to build a successful empire but that didn’t come without 6 years of struggle. Throughout his journey he has learned plenty from his guests and from the process of building a business. He offers the following advice, “Listen to your audience’s biggest struggle. That will lead you to create the product, the service, the community….to offer them as a solution. When you create the best solution to their problem, you will always win.”

“John Lee has build an amazing podcasting platform that has made him incredibly wealthy – not just financially but also in insights gained ,” Hayzlett said. “In this episode, he provides great advice about how often people pursue their passion, but more as a hobby than career opportunity. Big mistake! Watch this episode to find out why.”

Radical Rebirth: How Foundational Beliefs Determine How You Live Life

Best Seller TV, the only show dedicated to covering today’s best-selling business books on C-Suite TV,  is announcing a new episode featuring Randy Gage, author of Radical Rebirth: Kill Off the Old You and Create a New Life.

Gage tells the tale of his troubled youth, which led him to become a keen student of human behavior and psychology, resulting in him writing this, his 14th, book. He sees the book as the culmination of all his work for the last 20 or 30 years and is aimed at those looking for professional and personal rebirth to become the highest possible version of themselves. It also encourages readers to take a look in the mirror, question their own premises and ask difficult questions to experience that radical rebirth.

Gage says he “prosecutes” the process of rebirthing and states that, “Your vision is created by your core foundational beliefs.” He highlights six main categories people form strong foundational beliefs to, stating that each foundational belief determines our vision, the vision determines our daily habits, and those habits determine the kind of life we’re going to create.

It was a very personal situation that led to his radical rebirth. The story, not included in the book, is about him writing his suicide journal two decades ago. He says it took writing this book to discover that in that situation it’s not necessary to kill yourself, but kill off the parts of you that you don’t like. The book serves as a tool to reverse engineer the process of ridding our subconscious with the parts of ourselves we’re not happy with.

He adds that the only “radical rebirth I’m doing these days is not because I have to kill this horrible part of myself that I don’t like but because I’m moving toward the me that I want to become.”

Gage argues that people should experience multiple rebirths through their lifespan. If they don’t, they’re not fully living, but merely existing. He describes multiple rebirths as a “wonderful thing” and these breakthroughs are possible when we are really willing to confront ourselves and call us on our own stuff.

All episodes of Best Seller TV air on C-Suite TV and are hosted by TV personality, Taryn Winter Brill.

Best-selling author, speaker, and former Fortune 100 CMO Jeffrey Hayzlett created Best Seller TV to give top-tier business authors a forum for sharing thought-provoking insights, in-depth business analysis, and their compelling personal narratives.

 

“I’ve known Randy for a while now and his insightfulness never fails to impress. This is a very candid interview that I think many people will identify with. It has been a very difficult year for me, so this will definitely resonate with many,” Hayzlett said. “Whether you’re a business leader, own a business or are simply looking to become a better version of yourself, this book – and interview, may provide some of those answers you’re looking for.”
