The Real Reason Why Only Some People Bec...

Business Outlaws Network
About this episode

“We were taught the formula of celebrity and how to build it, and we’ve been teaching that to you here,” says BigMike, before discussing the one big hurdle to implementing that formula: “You can’t be shy.

“I had a hard time talking about myself in the beginning,” BigMike continues, adding that he was fortunately able to push past his negative programing, implement the formula of celebrity, and begin monetizing his personal brand.

In this final installment of the Business Outlaws series on building your personal brand, the Outlaws boil down monetizing your own brand to six essential steps. They show you how they did it, right down to their daily routines, and reveal the truth behind long-lasting success. 

To transform your personal brand into a moneymaking machine, you’ll first have to build your brand to celebrity status within your chosen niche. That might sound impossible, but here’s the thing: You need to realize that celebrities are merely people that had a strategy they were able to implement. 

Co-host Chris “Bulldog” Collins prompts BigMike to share his personal story of overcoming his own shyness. No one sees the preparation, insecurity and second-guessing that happens behind the scenes. As long as you put yourself in unfamiliar situations, you can overcome your insecurities and begin building and monetizing your brand. 

Listen to Ep. 56 of Business Outlaws, the final installment of the series on building your personal brand, to learn how to push past your insecurities, build up your celebrity, and gain the six essential steps to monetizing yourself. And make sure you catch the rest of this series on BusinessOutlaws.com, where you can also snack on Business Edibles and get access to exclusive behind-the-scenes content.
