Buckle up my friend, it's gonna be a wild ride.

Have you ever felt like there was something missing in your business? Something holding you back from the success you're seeking? If so, you are not alone. For nearly 20 years, that's exactly how I felt as a business owner. It wasn't until I discovered Human Design, that it all became clear. And it turns out that I was the missing piece in my own business. Join me on this journey of discovering the real me and hear stories from other business owners building businesses around all of their awesomeness. I'm Yong Pratt, and it's time my friend to Amplify Your Awesome™.

They're heeere! Nope, not the poltergeists. The long-awaited content gold mining maps have finally arrived, after many many requests to put together a guide to help content creators of all kinds, mind for an unearth the gold from within their content. I've done just that. The good news is that right now, as of this recording this episode number 342, they're free! That's right, my friend. There my gift to you. And right now the middle of summer is the very best time to dive in to these maps. The even better news is that there's also a six-part audio series for you to binge on, take with you anywhere, to listen to again. And again, when you request the maps, whether you prefer to create via audio, video or text, there's a map just for you inside of the content gold mining bundle. All you have to do is head to today's show notes at www.YongPratt.com/342 to grab maps and the bonus audio series.

Yong Pratt 2:42
Remember, the maps and audio series are free for now. And I don't know how long they're gonna stay that way. I've gotten so much great feedback from everyone who has grabbed the bundle already. So I don't want you to wait to grab them. If you're looking to ditch the content, overwhelm I have an endless stream of social media content and income streams that you can tap into at any time then you're going to want to grab the bundle today.

Yong Pratt 3:14
Again, you can grab them at today's show notes www.YongPratt.com/342. The maps and the audio series are the resources I wish I had back in 2016 when I happened to stumble upon the world of content repurposing. I see way too many content creators churning out more and more content getting burnt out and exhausted by it. The way to overcome the myth of more that I've shared on this podcast previously, is to mine for the gold and unearth it from within the content you have already created. Yep, all the content you've been amassing all these years - your body of work. From within that content, you can mine out and unearth some literal gold.

Before wrapping up this very short episode, I also wanted to share some more exciting news with you. Starting with this episode, I'll be releasing episodes twice weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays through August. You might be wondering why I'm doubling up on episodes during the middle of summer. Well, there are three reasons why I am doing this.

Yong Pratt 4:34
Number one. I've been interviewing some amazing guests and I want to share their episodes with you. However, I also wanted to bring you out some more solo content because I've gotten a lot of questions lately. And I have something coming up that I'm going to share with you in just a bit that I want to make sure that I can use this podcast for so that you know what is happening and what is available. So rather than sprinkling the solo episodes between each of the next seven guests, I've decided to simply add Tuesday episodes through August.

Yong Pratt 5:11
Number two, I personally have been listening to a ton more audio content since summer began. And so many of you have reached out and sure that you're doing the same thing. Even though summer feels somehow slower, it's really a great time to lean into learning, a great time to seek inspiration. And it's a great time to make plans for quarter four, and make sure that quarter three ends on a very positive note. So for this reason, I want to share more content with you so that you can make quarter for the best possible.

Yong Pratt 5:52
Number three, season five will come to a conclusion at the end of August, August 26. To be exact. Though I hadn't planned on taking a break before season six launches at the end of September, I've decided that 60 episodes is the perfect number to round out my fifth season of the podcast. I've been podcasting consistently now for more than five years, which seems so crazy. And if you know anything about me, numbers are really significant to me. So the fact that the number 60 represents family harmony and balance, choosing 60 episodes seems so fitting. Taking a month off from publishing the podcast will allow me to embrace the upcoming changes in my own family, like my oldest leaving for college in just a few weeks, and it will help me find a better balance in my work for the rest of the summer.

Yong Pratt 6:50
During the month-long break from publishing the podcast, you're definitely going to see more of me on social media with a brand new posting and promo schedule that I've been testing and tweaking in preparation for my six-month mentorship, Your Content Goldmine, which starts this fall. I've been busy experimenting with some new schedules that feel good to me. And I'm refining the process for those that join me inside of Your Content Goldmine. And you, my friend, will be able to see this new plan unfold on his social media. So during the month of no podcast publishing, which will be all over September, I'll also be working on a few other projects. Here they are...

Yong Pratt 7:31
I'm going to be finishing up a couple of books for publication that have been waiting patiently for me inside of my Google Drive account.

Yong Pratt 7:39
I have a few more ideas for other books I'm going to create with the assistance of an artificial intelligence copywriting robot. I'm definitely going to be sharing more on this tool coming up because it has quickly become one of my new favorite. I know that I'm personally only scratching the surface when it comes to using this tool. And I have so much to share with you on how I've been using it, how it's been helping my clients, how it's been helping me inside my business to do so much more without needing to hire a copywriter. It is so good.

Yong Pratt 8:12
I'm also going to be teaching a brand new class alongside Facebook ads Ninja, Tammy Pereira, who you've met on this podcast a couple of different times. It's coming up August 10th and 11th, 2021 and it's all about podcasting and Facebook ads. So if you've ever wanted to start your own podcast and learn how to use Facebook ads properly without wasting money, in order to build a podcast audience fast, you definitely do not want to miss this special two-day event.

Yong Pratt 8:50
I'm a huge believer in compressing time and teaching people how to get their podcast out into the world fast. That's why I created my in a weekend class series. I've taught hundreds of people to Podcast in a Weekend, create eBooks in a wWeekend, Collaborate in a Weekend, Blog in a Weekend, and Vlog in a Weekend.

Yong Pratt 9:13
When most people hear that I teach classes in this short compressed format, they often don't believe it's possible because we're often made to think that things are harder and will take longer than they actually need to. People are also skeptical that creating something so quickly will be of low-quality.

Yong Pratt 9:33
Now I don't want you to mistake fast execution with sloppy or lesser quality. In fact, because I help people launch podcasts fast, they're often better than if they were to spend months or years getting ready for the launch. One of my Podcast in a Weekend students actually launched her podcast start to finish, from scratch, in less than four hours. Yep. That's four hours, not four weeks, not four months. And this is someone who actually purchased another podcasting program, a really big one from one of the quote unquote gurus in the podcasting space. And she never finished the class because there was so much pre-work to do before she even could launch the podcast. So she got my Podcast in a Weekend, was able to launch in four hours, and has been able to share and make an impact with her tribe, which has been so much fun to watch unfold.

Yong Pratt 10:32
I literally love to compress time and teach the most efficient ways to create content, especially in podcast form. If you'd like to get on the waitlist for this brand new two day class, just head to today's show notes at www.YongPratt.com/342.

Yong Pratt 10:51
And there you have it, my friend. Now you know why I'm gonna be taking a month off from publishing the podcast, and how you can access my brand new content gold mining maps and audio series. I want you to run don't walk to grab these run and grab these while they are still free. Because I have a feeling that sometime in the near future, they are going to be a paid product. So make sure that you go over to today's show notes, www.YongPratt.com/342 to grab those maps and grab the audio series so that you can spend some time mining for the gold in your own content. So that in quarter four of 2021, you can have an endless supply of social media content, plus an endless stream of income from the content you have already created. It's time to mine it up and share it with the world as the gifts that they were created to be.

Yong Pratt 11:50
Coming up on Thursday, you're gonna meet Jen Abels, a fellow dancer, and we're diving into the topic of "Your work is not your worth" - a challenge that I struggled with for so many years. You won't want to miss the episode, so be sure you're subscribed to the podcast on your favorite platform.

Yong Pratt 12:12
