Are Spotify Audio Books the next Big Thing? Will they over take Amazon’s Audible?

daledawn — Mon, 10 Oct 2022 15:52:49 +0000

When I first started my entreprenurial jouney years ago, I made a lofty goal of reading 20 books a year. That was a stretch for someone who graduated high school and never brought a book home, much less read a book. I discovered Cliff Notes at our local college bookstore early.

parts of this artcle from The Hustle

So while everyone in my freshman class was dreading the thick boring read of Tale of Two Cites, I relied on my 18 page pamplet cliff notes to ace the dreaded test.

With that said, today, my goal is to read or in most cases listen to 50 business books a year. I am an auditory learner and learn much more by listening than I do reading.

We sponsor a business book club,CMG Book Club, and most of those members also prefer the audio version of books. So this is an industry that is growing rapidly.

I have an audible membership and I love it and recommend to all my friends and business associates.

Who will win the audiobook wars?

Today, audiobooks make up just ~$9B of the $140B global book industry. By 2030, that segment is forecasted to reach $35B+, and with so much growth expected, it’s no surprise the market is heating up.With music and podcasts under its belt, and almost a year after acquiring audiobook distribution platform Findaway, Spotify recently launched its own audiobooks section, serving up 300k+ titles.That puts it in Amazon’s sights…… with Audible commanding the largest share of the US market.

Still, it’s clear Spotify is uniquely positioned to take them on.The Spotify Machine, as CEO Daniel Ek calls it, represents the company’s proven practice of bundling verticals “into a single consumer experience… that benefits users, creators, ad partners, developers and Spotify itself.”Spotify has spent years oiling its music and podcast verticals.

It dominates the music streaming market and claims to have surpassed Apple in podcast listeners.Audiobooks make economic senseSpotify is notorious for stiffing artists on royalties, but the streamer still spent ~$7B on music payouts in 2021.

While audiobooks aren’t quite as attractive as podcasts, which have zero marginal costs, their margins are better than music.For now, the company offers audiobooks a la carte, but it’s studying business models that involve advertising within audiobooks.Parents may rejoice at the result, as users could potentially see more promotion for teen novels, and less for the latest Drake album.

We make some of the books I have written over the years available on audible, and they do very well on that platform, we need to look into Spotify and learn what is required to get them listed on that platform as well.

SELF CONFIDENCE THE MOST IMPORT INGREDIENT TO SUCCESS (Thought provoking video below)

daledawn — Fri, 09 Sep 2022 16:01:35 +0000

I believe the first step to developing self confidence is to understand, “God didn’t make any junk”, you are here for a reason, there is a purpose for your life. I personally believe when it is all said and done the most important question is did your provide value to the world and the people in it while you were here?

Were you a giver or a taker? Were you a contributor or a consumer? Did you maximize your talents and take the time to expand your comfort zone and become the best version of yourself you possibly could be?

The 2nd step is to understand the difference between self-confidence and being egotistical. Zig said ego is a terrible disease that negatively affects everyone accept the person with the disease. In other words, nobody likes being around an ego maniac.

I have also documented that negative people who lack confidence think EVERYONE with self confidence is egotistical. That is simply not true, the truth is they are not able to distinguish the difference.

So how do you develop self-confidence?

My entire entrepreneurial career those who lack self confidence has been bewildering to me. As some of you know the last couple of months we have been working with a company, Ihub Meta, that was in a 90-day beta testing phase and has recently moved into pre-launch. We are working with awesome people from all over the United States and the world.

I am shocked at the number of awesome people, those that appear to be value focused, willing to learn, who are beyond capable of performing at a high level in my mind and everyone who knows them, who cannot muster up enough confidence to consistently make themselves do what needs to be done.

Honestly this article and training session below from Mr. Brian Tracy is for them and those like them. Awesome people who need to be able to develop enough confidence to get into the market place and not miss this unique, once in a lifetime, opportunity.

The only conclusion I can come to is they have some deep seeded programming from childhood that is preventing them from fulfilling their full potential. This has probably held them back for years, if they are ever going to identify it and deal with it the time is now. I also have to accept the fact that some people are comfortable living is a state of lack. A few years ago when I wrote the book Change Your Financial Mindset and Create Wealth the idea that some people are comfortable in state of lack or mediocrity never really occurred to me.

Over the past 90 days, I have personally done everything and said everything I know to do and say. I have talked about monitoring their self-talk, planning their work and working their plan, deciding WHY, visualization, and understanding the ground floor only happens once. We have promoted the heck out of Mel Robbins 5-4-3-2-1— Go system. I am at my wits end and it is hard for me to accept the fact that some people I truly love and care about are going to let lack of self-confidence cause them to miss this unique opportunity.

So this morning, I went through tons of old journals, and training list, articles, audios and videos asking myself, what is the best deep work training on self-confidence? I wasn’t looking for motivation, or a great article on the topic of self-confidence, I was looking for strong, deep, psychology.

I decided the best deep work I was aware of on self-confidence was a training from Brian Tracy. Brian’s content is fabulous, it is well referenced, but myself and others must be in certain mindset to listen to him. His monotone delivery, just doesn’t do it for me, unless I am very interested in the subject, he may just put me to sleep.

The challenge is those who lack self-confidence rarely want to admit it or study the subject. They tend to blame their lack of being in the market place and making themselves do what they need to do, to lack of time, spouse support, children’s activities, family responsibilities, and the list goes on and on.

The truth is, we have people on our team who have very limited time, an unsupportive spouse, responsibilities with their families, and children’s activities who are consistently in the market place making it happen every week. It is a matter of priorities and goals.

The people on the leader board in our company didn’t land there by accident for most it was a goal, something they get up thinking about, and working towards daily. They don’t work when it is convenient, getting in the market place has been a priority for them. They understand where they are at this time and place in history, and being in the market place each week and growing their business and income is a priority. They have the self-confidence to make it happen

In this training Brian Tracy covers all of that, the person that edited this training must understand the jab at Brian has never been on the quality of his content but his monotone delivery. They have gone in and jazzed his seminar up adding new video clips etc, so I am hoping that those that are ready for true self evaluation and want to increase their confidence immediately will take this training and Brian’s self-talk references to heart.

Don’t watch this seminar passively, it takes focus, and I suggest you have your journal or a note pad. The content is solid, and desperately needed by many.

REACH LYRICS
Some dreams live on in time forever

Those dreams, you want with all

Your heart
And I'll do whatever it takes

Follow through with the promise I made

Put it all on the line

What I hoped for at last would be mine
If I could reach, higher

Just for one moment touch the sky

From that one moment

In my life

I'm gonna be stronger

Know that I've tried my

Very best

I'd put my spirit to the test

If I could reach
Some days are meant to be

Remembered

Those days we rise above

The stars
So I'll go the distance

This time

Seeing more the higher

I climb

That the more I believe

All the more that this

Dream will be mine
If I could reach, higher

Just for one moment touch
The sky

From that one moment

In my life

I'm gonna be stronger

Know that I've tried my

Very best

I'd put my spirit to the test

If I could reach
If I could reach, higher

Just for one moment touch the sky

From that one moment

In my life

I'm gonna be stronger

I'm gonna be so much stronger

Yes I am

I put my spirit to the test
If I could reach, higher

If I could, if I could,

If I could reach

Reach, I'd reach, I'd reach

I'd reach, I'd reach so

Much higher

Be stronger

daledawn — Sat, 29 Aug 2020 15:00:00 +0000

 
The Most Inspiring Speech: The Wisdom of a Third Grade Dropout Will Change Your Life | Rick Rigsby
 
Make an Impact: Rick Rigsby delivers a powerful speech on how his father’s teachings have guided him through the most troubling times of his life. Are you Inspired? Order Dr. Rick Rigsby’s book, “Lessons from a third grade dropout” 
 


 


 

 
 
Who is Rick Rigsby?
Enrique D. “Rick” Rigsby was born in 1956, in San Francisco, California USA, and is a motivational speaker, author, minister, and former college professor, best known from earning recognition after delivering a motivational speech at the California University Maritime Academy in 2017; his speech went viral shortly after the event.






Rick grew up with San Francisco, and according to him he was raised by the wisest man he knew, who was his father. His father worked as a cook, having dropped out of school during third grade to help with his family’s farm. His father encouraged him to live life to the fullest, and instilled in him numerous life lessons, which included avoiding being judgmental, making sure to do everything the right way, and making an impact with whatever he did. Rick attended California State University (CSU)-Chico, and graduated in 1978 with a degree in Mass Communications. He then continued his studies with a master’s degree in Public Communications, after which he went to the University of Oregon to complete a PhD. While working on his studies, he served as an anchor and reporter for the Chico CBS affiliate station KHSL-TV, where he worked for a year, but after completing his graduate studies, he then tried his hand at a career in the academic field.
Academics and Business
For two years Rigsby worked at CSU Fresno as an assistant professor, then in 1992 he moved to Texas A&M, where he served in the same position, mainly teaching speech communication classes, which saw him win the Outstanding Teaching Award from the College of Liberal Arts. He also coached for the school’s football team, the Texas A&M Aggies, leading him to win another award called the Outstanding Faculty Diversity Award. He served as an assistant professor for the next 14 years, but eventually decided to pursue a career in business, leaving his teaching career behin

 
 

His family moved to Dallas so that he could focus more on the company he launched – Rick Rigsby Communications. The company is focused on motivational speaking work, corporate teaching, starting to work with numerous sports organizations. He became a frequent attendee in both the National Football League (NFL) and the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA), as well as delivering speeches at public schools and Christian colleges.
 
In 2017, Rick gave a speech during the commencement ceremony at the California State Maritime Academy, which went viral, boosting his popularity, business and net worth, receiving many responses, ‘phone calls and emails from numerous organizations. It was the first time anything like that had happened to him in 30 years. He also released a book entitled “Lessons from a Third Grade Dropout”, which is a reference to his life growing up with his father. The book is much like his speeches, honoring the work of his father, who many mistakenly deemed as uneducated.
 
Personal Life
For his personal life, it is known that Rigsby was married to Trina Williams and they had two children together. The couple met in college and married soon after; he worked as a reporter while his wife worked as a nurse at Feather River Hospital, however, she passed away in 1996 after a fight with breast cancer. He mentioned in his speeches that Trina was the only one who gave her a real phone number during college. She fought cancer for six years before passing away.
 
After her death, Rigsby was depressed for two years, and again it was his father who encouraged him to get back on his feet. His father told him that one should never give up on life, despite having difficult times. He realized that he needed to understand the broken-hearted so that he could help them as well. Later on he met Janet Butcher, and they married in 1998 – they now have two children together, and reside in Dallas, Texas, He’s stated that he has adapted to the Texas lifestyle, enjoying listening to country music, hunting and fishing. He has even referred to himself as a “Blackneck Redneck”.
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 



Own the Racecourse

A very important philosphy for all entreprenuers, especially those who focus their marketing and promotion via social media.
 

 
Here is what James has to say about himself and what he does.
I used to be that overworked, stressed out entrepreneur who spent every minute working (or thinking about work.) I had success. But I was always too busy working to enjoy it. For example, I:

Built and sold a 7-figure SEO business within 3 years.
Sold $10,000,000 of my own products and services.
Was the #1 Mercedes salesperson in Australia.

And yet, all my nights and weekends were spent hunched over a computer, working… But after 30 years in business, I was able to uncover the 4 key “Profit Levers” every business has. Using them, I built a $100,000+/month business while working just 25 hours a week. Now, I surf every day. And I have my nights, weekends, and even all Monday and Friday free. 
So I can catch a movie with the family or simply spend all day with my newborn daughter. I privately coach top entrepreneurs on how to earn more while working far less. Including some of the biggest names in the industry, like Pat Flynn, Ryan Levesque, Keith Krance, Kevin Rogers, Molly Pittman, and Ezra Firestone. 
 
I also coach 500+ up-and-coming entrepreneurs inside my SuperFastBusiness community. These members are in every market and use every business model you can think of. Including e-commerce, affiliate marketing, consulting, information products, SAAS and more. They earn anywhere from $10,000-$2,000,000/year. To see if SuperFastBusiness can help you make more while working less, click below.



Hard Work Beats Talent
daledawn — Sun, 19 Jul 2020 15:28:25 +0000
Truer words where never spoken than what you are goint to hear in this video:
You must understand it doesn’t matter if you believe what you are about to

hear or not, your personal beliefs DON’T CHANGE TRUTH & The Way it is!

It is easy to say blame others. Most people on the planet today have the

mindset “If first I don’t succeed — fix the blame quick” You can continue

the rest of your life living with that self-limitting belief.
When you believe you have had bad luck, bad parents, bad jobs, born the wrong

race, raised in the wrong enviroment, have been done dirty by your boss or

whatever excuse YOU CHOOSE to believe. There may be “some truth” in your

excuses, but they are still EXCUSES.   Dwelling on the challenges of the past

prevent you from achieving success in the future..
Success starts with personal responsibility and a decison to quit blaming

other people.
You can spend the rest of your life weak, mad, & defeated,  having your own pitty parties

or you can decided to rise above the unfortunate circumstances and situations

you have experienced in life.  Guess what, WE ALL HAVE THEM,  some people are

so unaware and self -centered they think they are special, and don’t realize that

life throws challenges and disapointments to all of us.
Without failure, and challenges it is impossible to grow and expand and become

better.
Some of us decide to get through them, not let them hold us back to QUIT THINKING ABOUT  THE CHALLENGES LIFE HAS THROWN OUR WAY,  we decide what we want

and MOVE forward working towards worthy goals.

 
Most people  let other people tell us we are victims, encourage us to blame somebody

else, a certain race or political party.  They don’t want us to take personal responsibility because if we do that, and stop blaming others, we no longer need the activist who are trying to keep everyone stirred up and mad at the world and each other.
Achieving all you can is really a simple 3 step process.
 
1)   Decide exactly what you want your life to look like in 5 years.
2)  Take 100% personal responsibility for you daily Actions
3) Find a mentor and move forward and make progress EVERYDAY.
 
I know when people read those 3 simple steps to success, they are thinking Dale there has to be more than that.   What about this?   don’t  I need to find the the right that?.   These are the 3 most important steps.
Are you following these 3 steps and putting them into practice in your life?
If you not, then stop worring about the small pieces of the puzzle until you have the big

pieces strong and solid and in place.
“To thy own self be true”   If you have a problem with Focus, hardwork, & Self Discipline,

ADMIT it to yourself.  You must, before you can ever improve, grow and get better. If you

make excuses you need to stop, or you will spend the rest of your life making them.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life, you can make major life decision to change

right now, in the moment as you reading thiese words.. or you can continue to read articles

watch videos and search for the magic fu fu dust.  IT IS YOU CHOICE, IT IS IN YOUR HANDS, IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND IT ALWAYS WILL BE.
The choice is simple the Joy of Discipline or the pain of Regret.
Yes the most joyful people on the planet ar the ones that are the most disciplined in the 7

Key areas of life that matters, and they ignore everythng and everybody else.


Your past does not have to equal your future, unless you want it to.
You can make the decsion to change right now, and take responsibility

starting today.

Young violinist Tyler Butler-Figueroa has Inspired People around the World   (The Inspirational)
daledawn — Mon, 08 Jun 2020 03:07:32 +0000
 

In the 2019 America’s Got Talent season, Young violinist Tyler Butler-Figueroa, took the stage like a storm. His story and video has inspired people all over the world.
Tyler’s version of Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Stronger’ earned him Simon Cowell’s coveted Golden Buzzer and a standing ovation with everyone in the audience.
Tyler was diagnosed with leukaemia and age 4 1/2, but he beat it!  After being bullied by classmates at his school in North Carolina, Tyler picked up the violin.
Before his first AGT audition, Tyler said: “I just didn’t want to be the kid with cancer. So now, I’m the kid who plays the violin.”
 
 

 
After his performance on the Americas Got Talent Stage, Simon Cowell tweeted: “I am always amazed every year who we meet on our Shows. And I would love you to meet Tyler and this is his Golden Buzzer moment.”
 

 
Who is Tyler Butler-Figueroa?
 
Tyler is an 11-year-old fifth-grader at Walnut Creek Elementary in North Carolina. He started playing taking violin lessons when he was seven and a half years old.

“I wanted to start playing the violin because I was being bullied in school,” Tyler said in his first audition for America’s Got Talent. “It’s because I had cancer & I almost died.”
“The doctors treated me with chemotherapy. When I lost my hair, I was really sad and embarrassed at the same time to go to school. They used to make fun of me and laugh at me because I was different. They would spread rumours to say that my cancer was contagious, and all the other kids wanted to stay away from me,” Tyler says.
One day, Tyler saw a flyer at his school and it said, ‘After school programme – free violin lessons.’ He told his mom he wanted to take lessons, and she was surprised.
“Once he started that class, it was like a sunshine. He was just full of energy and happy. I was like, ‘I’ve got my son back.’” says his mom.
Tyler, who has been in remission for four years now, received a standing ovation from the audience and four judges after his first Amercia’s got Talent competition and he has been on an up swing ever since.

 
“You are an extraordinary young man. We hear too many stories about people being bullied, but I can tell you one thing: most people are bullied because they’re better than the people who bully them,” Cowell told Tyler.  Tyler’s story has inspired many people from around the world, maybe there is a young musician or cancer survivor that you should share this article with.
