In this episode of the 'Business By Referral' podcast, host Virginia Muzquiz engages in an uplifting and insightful conversation with JM Ryerson, a serial entrepreneur, performance coach and best-selling author of 'Let's Go Win', 'Champion's Daily Playbook', and 'Upgrade.' JM shares his experiences on building, growing, and selling businesses, navigating personal trials, and the importance of having a growth mindset. He imparts wisdom on improving personal and professional development, advocating for the importance of nurturing the mind, body, and soul, the power of authenticity, and re-framing one's perspective towards upgrading rather than changing one's life. JM also provides helpful advice on overcoming limiting beliefs and emphasizes the importance of enjoying life's journey despite inevitable failures or setbacks.

The Importance of Passion in Business

So one of the things I really like about what you just said is really doing something for the joy of doing it right.

Learning from Failure and Embracing Challenges

But one of the things that I have found, and this is why I said, I love a good shit show is some of my best experiences have been lighting money on fire.

The Power of Attitude and Activity

So I coach on, look, you are in complete control of two things, your attitude and your activity.

Dealing with Personal Loss and Gaining PerspectiveSo I actually lost my dad a year and a half ago and he committed suicide.

The Role of Vulnerability in Business

Ultimately, the message that I want my dear listener to have is this, let the level of vulnerability, the level to which you can be vulnerable, be honest and talk about the hard stuff is actually what makes you referable.

Personal Growth Outpacing Business Growth

Yeah. And so one of the things, and I don't know how you feel about this, let's talk about coaching , mentorship, personal development.

The Importance of Continuous Learning and GrowthYou cannot put a price tag on it.

The Power of a Growth Mindset

On my bathroom mirror, I always have my goals and I also have next to it what I call my daily reminders and have a growth mindset will always be there because if I ever stopped for a moment and think that I've arrived, I'm going backwards because in my opinion, people are doing one of two things.

The Three Pillars of Personal Development: 

Mind, Body, and Soul coach on three things.

The Value of Time and Self-CareI heard the greatest advice.

The Role of Money and Abundance in Life

Really quick on the whole abundant thing, because when you say a million dollars, look, I started making a million dollars a year at 27 years old....

Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

If you're listening, please write these down because they're really simple, but it's important.

The Power of Identity and Self-PerceptionI gotta write that down.

The Concept of Upgrading YourselfWhat are the other 2?.

Final Thoughts and ReflectionsYou know what?.
