Audiobooks are on the rise

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’ve probably heard of audiobooks. Maybe you’re even one of the millions of people who use an audiobook subscription service? Places like Audible are getting smarter. They remove all the risk by giving you a 30 day free trial with audiobooks included.

The “Try Audible and Get Two Free Audiobooks“ offer got me started on audiobooks a few years ago. Now I’m hooked!

Like many people, I found my margin for reading getting smaller and smaller. Yet, I also realized I had unencumbered time when I was driving, running, and doing errands. Rather than wasting this time, I popped in my bluetooth earpiece (when driving) OR wore some inexpensive headphones (when running). {There are hundreds of options for both, including the pair I use for driving and running.}

Business guru Brian Tracy reveals what’s possible in our daily “drive time.” He says:

The average person drives 12,000 to 25,000 miles per year which works out to between 500 and 1,000 hours per year that the average person spends in his or her car. You can become an expert in your field by simply listening to educational audio programs as you drive from place to place.

After a short amount of time, I found myself working out my brain and my body simultaneously. Since then, I’ve consumed many quality books and kept my edge physically, emotionally, and professionally—even as a husband and father of three little ones.

I’m not alone. Audiobook downloads have doubled in the past 5 years.

3 Reasons why audiobooks are exploding

In episode 96, I share several reasons why audiobooks are quickly becoming the preferred medium (listen via itunes, audioboom, or stitcher).

1. Audiobook players (a.k.a. smart phones) are always within our grasp.
2. Audiobooks create an entirely different experience. (The spoken word adds a new dynamic.)
3. Audiobooks allow us to do two things at once (1 cognitive and 1 non-cognitive).

Heather Masters, the narrator of Elixir Project, joins me on the Igniting Souls Podcast.

We reveal key business principles like:

• How to attract top level talent to work with you and for you.
• Why your first email to top talent says everything about you.
• How vision-casting is essential to drawing out the best in your teammates.
• Why you should treat the people you hire as your clients.

Why:

FICTION

Elixir Project is near-future fiction thriller. Advance readers of all ages and demographics have loved it…even people who swear “they never read fiction.” Click on the pic to see the trailer or read the description below:

EVERYTHING CAN BE HACKED, EVEN THE TRUTH.
Will this fact set Sienna free or plunge her into an even bigger lie?

Sienna Lewis lives in a world constantly threatened by a hacktivist group known as SWARM. After SWARM executes its deadliest attack yet, Sienna and her three college friends learn they have been chosen for the ELIXIR Project—a master plan designed to overthrow SWARM—and participation is mandatory.

As she faces the deadly challenges of the Project, Sienna confronts layers of conspiracies that force her to question everyone she trusts and everything she believes about her friends, her parents’ untimely deaths, and herself—all while staying one step ahead of SWARM. In this fast-paced, near-future thriller, will love and loyalty have time to catch up with Sienna? Or will she crack under the pressure of a future already chosen for her?

In 2012, I bombed big time. I sat outside a big corporate office in our minivan, dressed up in a suit and tie. I had just tried pitching my first corporate client and I had made a fool of myself.

I held a big 3 inch thick binder full of someone else’s content. I talked way too much. I listened way too less. I stumbled and bumbled along with the worst presentation known to humankind.

On the verge of tears, I told myself all kinds of lies:

“I’m not cut out for this.”
“I’ll just stay stuck in my day job the rest of my life.”
“No one will ever hire me.”

I stood at the plate, taken the biggest swing of my life, and struck out big time. I felt hot and sweaty from embarrassment and I wanted to crawl under a rock for the rest of my life.

In this raw and candid episode I tell this story for the first time.

If you want to track my progress over the past 5 years, this was one of the lowest points. But then something changed. I made one major tweak and then literally overnight my results shifted. I began to super rocket my success as an author, coach, and speaker.

I think you’ll find encouragement in this episode as you realize you can make this one tweak too.

And if you want more on this topic, after listening to this episode, check out this special webinar. It’s only a limited time replay though and it expires November 7th.

In this candid interview with Chris O’Byrne of Jet Launch—the interior designer of ELIXIR Project—we discuss several key topics including:

• How to leverage live events for maximum impact
• The costs of getting hacked personally and professionally
• Pros and cons of self-publishing and traditional publishing
• A brave new way of publishing

And much more.

Episode 92 concludes with a sneak peek of chapter 9 from ELIXIR Project.

Sienna meets Phoebe, a woman full of fire and mystique. She seems to know quite a bit about the girls.
