Episode 23 - The Crowd Economy
11/11/2019
Crowd-funding, or crowd-sourcing as it’s more commonly known, is a topic that I’ve always found fascinating. Joining me to discuss the crowd economy is a good buddy of mine and an expert in the field, Mr. Scott Picken from Wealth Migrate.
The idea of crowd-sourcing has been around forever. All that has changed is that technology has come to the table, making the crowd economy.

Episode 22: The Number 1 Secret To Success
11/3/2019
Why do some people succeed, why do some fail? Why do some companies succeed and others don’t?
Lots of research has been done and books written about this, but for host Niel Malan, it comes down to one thing: Client Success.
Look at it this way: People don’t buy a product or service for the product or service… they buy it to achieve an outcome, a particular result.
For example, why does someone buy a drill? It’s not because they want a hole in the wall, it’s because they want to hang a...

Episode 21: Importance of Self-Care
10/24/2019
Entrepreneurs are usually absolutely awful at taking care of themselves.
The reason for this is that the type of person who becomes an entrepreneur is usually someone who is driven to helping other people by making a difference.
Entrepreneurs will do anything for other people – for their children, their partner, their friends, their employees, their clients...
As a result, without realising it, entrepreneurs are awful at self-care.
In episode 21 of the Elite Entrepreneur show, we look at...

If you have been listening to the Elite Entrepreneur show, you would know that host Niel Malan is very open and honest about his professional and personal life.
He's shared his ups and downs, including his struggles with ADD; and in case you didn't know, his company (Elite Inc.) is an open book – they share everything from profits and losses to income statement.

It’s time for an action plan!
In the previous six episodes, we have been taking a look at different freedoms – but we don’t want to just listen to ideas, we want to implement the knowledge.

Episode 18: Physical Freedom
10/17/2019
Surprise episode! Before we wrap up our series on the Five Freedoms, host Niel Malan introduces a bonus topic: Physical Freedom.
We are often not aware of our mortality, because it doesn’t confront us every day. We often don’t take care of our health the way we should and we leave things too late.
Then one day, something happens… a heart attack, a stroke, cancer… and it’s a wake-up call. You realise you need to think about your health differently.
In this episode, Niel looks at how to...

Episode 17: Emotional Freedom
10/15/2019
Why do we want what we want? Why do we want a certain car, more money, a big house, a retirement fund, good schools for our children, a better physique, etc?
A lot of people would say it's going to help them achieve something… something else. But why do you want something else?
In the end, it’s all about a feeling – it's going to make them feel successful, it's going to make them feel accomplished, it's going to make them feel like they are going to make a difference in this...

Episode 16: Impact Freedom

Many people have one goal in life: To make money!
But why is it that for so many of us who become successful, we are still unhappy and unsatisfied with life?
In this episode, host Niel Malan explains how he overcame this struggle by realising that what he really wanted in life was to make a difference in people’s lives and to empower them.
He also looks at how others can change to have the freedom to make a difference in this world.

Episode 15: Time Freedom
10/10/2019
One of the things that I hear the most from entrepreneurs who want to start their own business is that they feel they are not in control of their own time anymore.
It seems like every year you need to give more of yourself to do well, you wake up a bit earlier to beat the ever-worsening traffic, you find there’s more work to do... day after day, from morning until night, you are rushing from one thing to the next.
It takes an emotional and physical toll, and suddenly you find yourself...

Episode 14: Location Freedom
10/8/2019
Why would you spend hours every day in the car or bus or train, travelling to and from work? Why waste your time on things that are not meaningful?
In episode 14 of the Elite Entrepreneur show, we have a special guest, host Niel Malan’s wife Candy, who joins him to talk about Location Freedom.
Imagine you could choose where you want to live because you do not have to worry about being near an office, being able to work from home (or anywhere in the world!), not being stuck in traffic every...

We continue the discussion around FREEDOM, the cornerstone of any planning in your life and business, and the guiding line for anything that you want to do.
In this episode, host Niel Malan discusses the relationship between happiness and wealth as we take a look at the first of the five freedoms: Financial Freedom.

Surveys have shown that the number one reason why entrepreneurs start a business is to have autonomy... it’s about freedom.

Episode 11: What Is A Funnel?
10/1/2019
The problem with most websites is that they simply do not convert a visitor into a sale.
A website is just the brochure that provides information, there's nothing persuasive about it.
What does convert? The answer is a funnel – a series of steps.
In this episode, I explain what exactly a funnel is, and take a look at a couple of the most widely-used types of funnels.

Episode 10: Facebook vs Google vs LinkedIn
9/29/2019
Today we look at which traffic platform is the best for your digital marketing: Facebook, Google or LinkedIn?
I remember when I just got started with digital marketing, I didn’t have a clue where to run campaigns. I was stuck. And even worse, every expert I spoke to suggested a different platform.
So I gained my own experience and now, after years of crushing it online, I want to guide you to make the right decision.

Episode 8: Should I Hire Freelancers Or Employees?
9/24/2019
When it comes to growing a business, you can’t do all the work yourself… you need people to help and contribute.
But the question is, do you get permanent employees, or can you get by with freelancers?
There is a really strong business case for utilizing freelancers to grow your business, but it's also not without downsides. On the other hand, there are many pros to getting permanent staff, but there are also cons.

Many business people start companies because they love an industry, they're passionate about it, they're really excited.
Then, because of all the other stuff that they have to do just to run the business, they get drained, they get tired, and they end up hating it.
So, should you stay a “solo-preneur” or build a team?
The truth is if you build a business correctly, you can focus on your strengths, you can focus on your areas of greatest impact, and you can enjoy your work. You can...

Should you start an online business? Probably not.
That is unless you have one very specific skill.
In this episode, Niel Malan takes a look at the six different types of online selling businesses, and how to differentiate between the models that are going to leave you frustrated and empty-handed, and the model or models that will actually give you everything that you're looking for.
