]]>In this episode Honoree Corder takes a deep dive into her book, Business Dating where she discusses how to apply relationship rules to business and master the art of business networking.
In her book Corder provides a roadmap where she personally coaches you on the best, practical ways to build business to business relationships using her special 12 x 12 matrix. The goal of the book is to help you not only become a master at networking but also overcome the fear of meeting people, know when networking opportunities are greatest, and fully leverage the relationships you build.
This book is perfect for entrepreneurs who frequent networking events and have a hard time creating professional relationships that yield a solid return on investment.
I wrote it to be read from front to back. I build one thing upon the next.
I think everyone’s favorite so far is the 12×12. Putting together your 12×12 matrix and having a visual of all of your business relationships and knowing who you have and who you are missing.
Chapter one is business dating and what in the world it’s all about. I talk about the correlation between person dating and business dating. Personal dating is when two people spend time together to try and determine what, if anything, they have in common and whether they should spend more time together. Business dating, networking, is exactly the same thing but a lot of people think that once you meet someone it’s an automatic open door to their American Express card. And so I talk about why that isn’t the case in this first chapter. I talk about how you do it right according to me and then I get people to think about why they are networking and business dating. I do this by having them take a step back and think about why they are in business, how long they’ll be there, and who they need to know in order to make the rest of their business career. I also talk about ineffective business dating and what I see people doing wrong.
Chapter three is the art of business dating and I talk about something called The Trust Bridge. When you are developing a relationship with someone you are on this side of a bridge. On one side of it is that I don’t know you and I don’t like you and I trust you. On the other side of the bridge is everything you could ever want from a relationship. In this chapter I am talking about the relationship stages. Stage one is nice to meet you, stage two is I’m getting to know you, stage three is I think I like you, stage four is the getting to trust, stage five is I trust you, then I have a bonus stage which you’ll find out about in the book.
In chapter four I go really deep into the do’s and the don’ts of business dating and the two components of what to do and what not to do. It’s very simple and I break them all down. Once you know what not to do and what to do, we then get into how to make a strong connection with someone. I literally give the language for if you want to make an introduction between two people, you want to reach out to someone you don’t know and do it in such a way that you have success every single time.
Chapter five is called The Structure Sets You Free and in chapter five I reveal the 12×12 which is a visual matrix of your network. This helps you identify who is in your network and needs to be in your network and then I actually break down how to find those people and connect with them. I break that whole system down and provide free downloads on my website because I think the more people I can help, the better. Step one is identify, step two is organize, step three is discover, and step four is connect.
Chapter six is getting to know you, getting to know all about you, and I think I like you. I describe what I think many people have gone through many times when they’ve had that person come at them and really want something from them and they just aren’t ready to give that up. I talk a little more about the trust bridge in this chapter and I also talk about how to nurture relationships with the people that you are in relationship with.
Chapter seven is called What’s Your Number and I think that every person has a number of time that they need to interactive with or hear from someone before there is trust. What’s interesting is nobody knows your number, not even you.
Chapter eight is know + Like + Trust = $$. You will not get to the revenue part of the relationship until you’ve crossed the trust bridge and got all the way to the other side. I give the qualifiers for how to know when to stay in touch with someone. Then I’m talking about keeping the love alive which is more follow up but this time I’m going into direct follow up and passive follow up.
Chapter nine is To Know you is to Love, Hire, and Refer you. So this is about your reputation, your code of conduct, your code of ethics, being friendly and I talk about the cornerstones of healthy relationships.
Finally, in chapter ten, I wrap it up with Business Dating for Ultimate Success. I get people setup for the journey ahead and remind them to keep the smile on their face and to get busy developing business dating relationships.

“You’ve read all the way through, now you know what to do, so go on your way, go and prosper I say.” – Honoree Corder
I am an executive coach, speaker, and author. I work with professionals to help them double their income and triple their time off.
It’s not what the inspiration was; it’s more who the inspiration was. My clients were the inspiration. It’s a networking book and my take on how you can develop relationships in business using correlations between person dating and business dating.

]]>In this episode, Hal Elrod shares his book, The Miracle Morning where he believes how you start the day sets the context for the rest of your day which sets the context for the rest of your life.
In his book, Elrod teaches you his ultimate morning routine that helped double his income within two months. The goal of the book is to provide you with a real life experience of success and the steps on how to wake up each day with more energy, motivation, and focus to take your life to the next level.
This book is perfect for entrepreneurs who want to change their lives, but have trouble waking up early in the morning and feel as if they are losing energy and motivation throughout the day.
The Miracle Morning is the highest rated book many, many times over both in terms of sales and five star reviews. After applying the concepts that I teach you in this book you immediately see extraordinary results.
I suggest the reader read from front to back.
The one concept that I would like the reader to take away is to wake up earlier than you have to because you want to, not because you have to. Because how you start the day sets the context for the rest of your day which sets the context for the rest of your life.
It starts out with the introduction which is my story and why yours is the one that matters. I share the details of my car wreck and the actionable lessons I learned from it.
Chapter one – it’s time to wake up to your full potential – this just reinforces the idea that we are capable of so much more than we could have ever even considered for ourselves. This chapter is designed to really remind you of the unlimited potential that’s in all of us.
Chapter two – The miracle morning origin born out of desperation – this is the in-depth version of the story of how I came up with the miracle morning.
Chapter three – The 95% reality check – it’s essentially the reality check that 95% of our society will never live life on their terms.
Chapter four – Why did you wake up this morning – The purpose behind the miracle morning is the idea that most people wake up not because they want to but because they have to. When we hit the snooze button we are starting our day with procrastination which sets the tone for you to become the person that procrastinates in other areas in life. This also starts your day with a lack of self-discipline.
Chapter five – The five step snooze proof wake up strategy for the snooze-oholics – This is the most important chapter.
Chapter six – The life savers – Six practices guaranteed to save you from a life of unfulfilled potential.
S – Silence (meditation/prayer)
A – Affirmations
V – Visualization
E – Exercise
R – Reading
S – Scribing or Writing
Chapter seven – The six minute miracle morning – One minute for each of the life savers.
Chapter eight – Customizing your miracle morning to fit your lifestyle and achieve your highest goals and dreams – I give you all sorts of options on how to do your miracle morning. I allow you to make it your own so that it fits your lifestyle and achieves your goals and dreams.
Chapter nine – From unbearable to unstoppable – This is the real secret to forming habits that will transform your life in 30 days. I bust the myth that it takes 21 days to form a habit.
Chapter ten – The miracle morning 30 day life transformation challenge and fast start kit – After you learn how to effectively implement a habit, we break it down into a 30 day miracle morning life transformation challenge and I give you a 10 page challenge that allows you to customize it to fit your lifestyle.

“The number one cause of unfulfilled potential of regret and of struggle is never deciding that now matters more than any other time in your life because it does.” – Hal Elrod
I was a radio DJ until I got into sales where I was one of the youngest sales rep ever inducted into the companies’ hall of fame. I broke a bunch of sales records and thought that I was going to do that forever. I was in a horrific car accident, died for six minutes, broke 11 bones and told I would never walk again. I bounced back from that and went on to write a couple of bestselling books, became a coach and a motivational speaker.
It was never intended to be a book, it was written out of responsibility to share my experiences with other people. I did research and created what seemed to be the ultimate morning ritual and within two months of doing it I more than doubled my income.

]]>In this episode, Honoree Corder takes a deep dive into her book, Vision To Reality where she helps you answer the question what do you really want and why haven’t you already got it.
In her book, Corder points you in the right direction to achieving success by talking about her coaching philosophy and program. She will teach you how to increase efficiency and effectiveness, overcome challenges, increase productivity, and live with passion and purpose.
This book is perfect for the entrepreneur who wants the steps used by successful entrepreneurs to transform their daily actions into the life of their dreams.
My book is different because I didn’t add in any additional pages, I went straight for the tip of the spear. It’s less than 150 pages and it’s all very high content and something someone can use as a reference.
I like everyone to read my books all the way through and then take it section by section.
That they need to give themselves the clear space to define their vision.
In chapter one I start by asking what do you really want and why haven’t you already got it? I discuss in this chapter why you don’t have what you want and what’s happened to prevent you from getting it. I talk about this fictional character Ted who is in all of us and he’s this unintentional guy who is not really sure about why he hasn’t achieved success. I am not a fiction writer but I like to bring people some kind of recognition of themselves and to also know that they are not alone. I then point you in the right direction to achieving success by talking about my coaching philosophy and program.
I talk about the STMA (Short term massive action) and I help people to define what it is that they are looking for and then turning it into reality. Before they can really figure that out they need to figure out what is in the gab that’s holding them back.
I talk about who someone needs to be because I think that being-ness is so important verses doing-ness. I go through all of the things of who someone needs to be in order to turn their vision into reality.
In chapter two I get into the exciting stuff which is what is possible. I think that pretty much anything is possible with a few exceptions.
And then in chapter three I start talking about how your vision becomes your reality – how do you sit down and craft the vision? I also talk about what might come in the way of your vision and how to avoid those things.
In chapter four we talk about your goals because once you create a vision you need to have goals. If you have the right goals they get you up early and keep you up late. You are really, really tired but you are also happy because you’re building something that you like. So we talk about how to set these goals so that they are driving you effortlessly.
In chapter five I get into the power of laser focus – how do you turn the actions that you have identified into the action steps that you’re doing every day. Knowing that you need to do something is different from actually doing it.
In chapter six I talk about what your ‘I am’ is. Any words you say after ‘I am’ is a command to your subconscious mind and I want everyone to choose their ‘I am’ statements with intention and purpose.
The title of chapter seven is Who’s on Your Bench which means who is in your environment, who is holding you accountable, who’s pushing you and pulling you. And also who you need to network with so that you can grow your business effortlessly.
In chapter eight I talk about old habits. Old habits eat good intentions for lunch. Trying to have willpower will not be enough and so you have to engineer circumstances in your life and I give some examples on how to do that.
Finally in chapter nine we discuss the planning phase.
And in chapter 10 we figure out how you are going to pull it all together and make it actually happen.

“Thinking you can achieve something unleashes the force that allows it to happen.” – Honoree Corder
I am a business coach, executive coach, corporate trainer, motivational speaker and 13 time author. I currently live in Austin, TX.

My background is in the corporate world and in network marketing and so I have had to distinct successful separate careers that have both informed and influenced how I work with people today.
I wanted a reference book for myself and for others that isn’t just the tip of the spear but is the sharp point that would give the formula for turning what is in our minds eye into our actual real life reality.
