Lewis Howes

Today on The Rise To The Top: The #1 Non-Boring Business Show: One of the most popular reoccuring guests on The Rise To The Top is my buddy Lewis Howes. Lewis has already been on the show twice before. The first time, he told us his story about how he went from injured football star to LinkedIn expert with over 1 million in sales. The second time, he took us behind the scenes of his most recent product launch. And now he is back for a discussion on success and how you can apply it your business/life. Enjoy!

Today on The Rise To The Top: The #1 Non-Boring Business Show: Just one month ago, Lewis Howes and his business partner launched FBinfluence (affiliate), a Facebook training program for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and marketers (In fact, I had Amy Porterfield on the show, Lewis’ Facebook expert, who totally rocked giving us all tons of actionable Facebook tips). In today’s episode, we go behind-the-scenes with Lewis as he reveals everything about the launch (and you won’t believe the numbers). You will learn how they went about creating the product (including costs, time, etc.), how many products they sold (and how they did it), and much more in incredible detail. Enjoy!

I was talking with my biz coach, Elizabeth Marshall, and my fitness trainers, Rob and Kim Murgatroyd, and they all wanted to meet each other. So, we all met and we did it via GoToMeeting by Citrix. Now it used to be when you did online meetings, you couldn’t see the other peeps in the meeting. No longer now that GoToMeeting has HDFaces, which let me tell you and they can back me on… Read More

I use RISE partner Wistia for video hosting because they rock. Check ‘em out. Audio Only Player If everyone interview is like this one with Lewis Howes, we all win. Trust me. Lewis was on the show before talking about becoming an entrepreneur and getting off his sister’s couch, but now he has raised his entrepreneurial game to the next level, already eclipsing $1,000,000 in sales this year. In this interview, he tells the story and the journey so far. He is super candid about how he makes money (and why), what he is great at (and not so good at), mistakes, building badass relationships, and much more. I hope you will pick up all kinds of inspiration and ideas for yourself (yay!). Enjoy!

Audio Only Player Often times the concept of “overnight success” is challenged (heck, I challenge it all the time). But, it would be hard to argue against the crazy speed, and the pure velocity, that has taken Lewis Howes from an injured professional athlete to living on his sister’s couch to a well-known social media industry leader now with a booming business. Looking at Lewis now, it is hard to believe that this has all happened in about two years. Describing Lewis is pretty hard because he has done and does so many things, including: Co-Author of LinkedWorking, a book on understanding and maximizing LinkedIn. Speaks around the country on LinkedIn, social media, social media in sports, and now his latest topic…webinars. Started Sports Networker. Has several products bringing in six figures in revenue (SWEET!). In this tell-all interview, I wanted to know (for all of us) how he did it, what he learned, and what we can learn from him. Including: How he got started. What were his first moves? What he learned about self-publishing a book. How he manages so many different projects. How he has managed to market and promote himself by helping others. His keys to networking and building better business relationships. His overall strategy for “his brand” (is there one?). …and much more. As always, would love to hear your thoughts, takeaways, and lessons learned. Leave ‘em below in the comments section.

Is LinkedIn Sexy Enough To Spend Time With? Is Linkedin worth spending time on for entrepreneurs, small business owners and content producers (bloggers, etc.)? That was the question I posed to my good friend and LinkedIn evangelist Lewis Howes. A little back story. I personally don’t spend much time on LinkedIn. I log in. I check on requests. I update my status via Ping. That is about it. It isn’t sexy enough for me. I’m using myself as an example here, but realized after talking to tons of folks that many people are in the same boat. And on the other end of the spectrum, many people absolutely swear by it. It All Started With Chris Brogan: The debate “heated up” (we are all friends here) last week when Chris Brogan made a great post about how he was thinking of deleting his LinkedIn account because he already had too many touch points for people to get in contact with him and most of the activity coming at him on LinkedIn was requests for people needing help (introducing to contacts, etc.). Lewis had a great follow-up to Chris and did a fantastic video showing him the benefits of LinkedIn. Well played, but I wanted to dive deeper. Why? Because we aren’t all Chris Brogan (in fact, probably none of us unless you are Chris Brogan. In that case, hi Chris). Other folks have chimed in too including RISE viewer Ryan Taft on his Catalyst Marketing Blog about the positives and… Read More
