Magazine, and other media. Good Morning Onward Nation...welcome to Episode 376...I\\u2019m Stephen Woessner. I hope you had a wonderful and very Happy Thanksgiving last week with friends and family \\u2014 and in the process \\u2014 you were able to take some time to think about all of the people and opportunities in your life to be grateful and thankful for. Because we all \\u2014 no matter what the circumstances pulling or pushing us from inside or outside of the business \\u2014 have an abundance of opportunity and much to be thankful for.

Now, if your business is breaking into new levels and momentum is at full force \\u2014 having an abundance mindset, is quite frankly, easy.

But, if you are struggling to make ends meet, if you are in danger of not making payroll (I\\u2019ve been there by the way), or you have employee issues, customer issues, and nothing seems to be going your way \\u2014 and you just need a break \\u2014 thinking about abundance may seem like mystic dark magic voodoo or a bit like staring into a crystal ball and to learn any sort of nugget about your future.

And when you\\u2019re back is up against the wall \\u2014 and mine has been, Onward Nation \\u2014 so I get it \\u2014 I understand it\\u2019s hard to show up every day with your mind fixated on abundance. But if you just break free, inch by inch, and realize that you don\\u2019t need to win the war all in one day, that sometimes solving just one problem today build momentum.

And then tomorrow another.

And then tomorrow another.

And eventually you can begin to feel confident in metaphorically putting on what Garrett Gunderson recently described to me as \\u201cThe Armor of Abundance.\\u201d And he wears his every day.

You will soon hear Garrett tell his story in Episode 388 that will air on December 15th, Onward Nation, and how even when the times were the toughest for him, the toughest for his family, and for his business \\u2014 he refused to give up.

Even when he was writing checks for tens of thousands of dollars or hundreds of thousands of dollars to vendors who had done him wrong...he pushed forward.

He refused to, using Garrett\\u2019s words, he refused to \\u201cGnaw on the bones of scarcity.\\u201d

And who taught him those lessons? Mentors.

Onward Nation...nothing will affect the trajectory of your business or your life like a good \\u2014 or bad \\u2014 mentor can. We talk a lot about mentorship with our guests \\u2014 but \\u2014 it has been some time since I shared any of my thoughts on the importance of your inner circle, how to build a culture of greatness within your company, and ultimately, how to find great mentors and advisors who will help you unlock that next level in your business.

So to add some value in each of these areas during today\\u2019s episode \\u2014 I am going to share with you \\u2014 in its entirety \\u2014 an interview Laura Steward and I did when she was kind enough to invite me to be a guest on her show, entitled \\u201cIt\\u2019s All About the Questions\\u201d and you can find her at LauraSteward.com.

True to the name of the show \\u2014 Laura asked great questions and we dug into mentorship, inner circle, how to make the difficult transition from one circle to another, how to deal with the insecurities of others and not letting them affect your business and life, and a more \\u2014 all focused on how to eliminate the guesswork to mentorship and learning \\u2014 because getting it right is critical to your success.

So, here we go, Episode 81 of \\u201cIt\\u2019s All About the Questions\\u201d with Laura Steward and me. Episode Link: www.laurasteward.com/81-stephen-woessner-onward-nation-digital-marketing-simplified.html

My hope for you is that you found the lessons Laura and I discuss to be helpful \\u2014 to be recipes and tactical ingredients you can break down and insert into your business right away to accelerate your results \\u2014 to be able to build a culture of greatness within your business while measuring your ROI in a complex digital world.

So with that, Onward Nation...I want to say thank you again for taking the time to be here with me today.
