Well, that's great! But before you do any of that—before you even think about getting started on your business—you need to establish yourself as an authority. If people don't know you're an authority, how will they trust you with their money? How will they believe that what you're selling them is worth spending their hard-earned cash on?
The answer is simple: by proving it with things like photographs of celebrities or other influencers. Just take a picture with someone famous (preferably someone who's successful in the same industry as your business), and then post it to social media with a caption like "Just got back from lunch with governor." Boom—now everyone knows that they can trust you as an expert in your field!

Introduction
If you want to start your own worm farm, the process is surprisingly easy. You'll need some supplies and a little initial investment, but once you've got those in place you'll be able to grow worms for years to come. Here's how:
How to finance your worm farm
Financing a worm farm is simple, but it's also one of the most important steps to take before you get started. Worms are low maintenance and don't require much care, but they do need some basic necessities like water and food. In addition to this, your worms will generate waste that you'll need to dispose of from time to time.

select the type of worms
You'll need to select the type of worm that's best suited to your conditions and needs. If you're hoping to start a very small worm farm, red wigglers are the way to go. Nightcrawlers are larger and can handle more waste than red wigglers, but they are also slower moving and less efficient at processing food scraps into compost (the final product). Red wigglers make for a good compromise between these two factors: They're quicker than nightcrawlers but more efficient than them as well.
In general, red wigglers are better suited for indoor applications because they don't need much space (which makes them easy to manage in small spaces like bedrooms) and thrive in cooler climates—unlike their larger cousin the nightcrawler that prefers warmer temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius), which means it would be difficult for an indoor worm farm using this species outside during winter months or colder regions where temperatures fall below freezing regularly throughout autumns or springs.)
Worm bin size
The ideal size for your worm bin is one that allows you to reach into the center of the bed and easily grab up to about five worms at once.
In this configuration, you can fit around 100 worms in a single cube without having to worry about overcrowding. Therefore, if you want to start with 30-50 worms (the recommended minimum number of worms), then you'll need 10-15 cubes total.
food supply
Worms will eat just about anything but they prefer things that are easy to digest. Here are some of the most common foods you can feed them:
Environment control
Environment control is another important factor. The temperature of the worm farm should range from 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and the humidity should be maintained between 60-80%. The lights should be kept on at night so that they can eat more food and grow faster. Air circulation is also necessary; this helps keep your worms healthy because it prevents them from getting sick easily.
Harvest worms
Harvesting your worms is easy and fun. You can harvest them at any time, but the best time to do so is when you need to feed them or see if they've produced any eggs or cocoons.
To harvest the worms, gently turn over each tray so that the bottom faces up and all of the waste falls into a bucket. Then take out one tray at a time and place it in an area where you want to spawn more worms (such as on top of another tray). Remove any cocoons from this tray and put them back down into their original trays before removing them completely from your system.
you can farm worms!
Worm farming is a great way to recycle food waste and create compost for your garden. Not only can you use worms to fertilize the soil and make compost, but you can also sell them for profit. If you're interested in starting your own worm farm, here are some tips to keep in mind:
Conclusion
Worm farming is a great way to go green and help the environment. The worms will eat your food scraps, which would otherwise be dumped in landfills or on farms as fertilizer. The waste from the worms can then be used as a natural fertilizer for plants in your garden or backyard! Worms are easy to care for and don't require much space, making them perfect pets for people with limited resources like apartments or gardens.

★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★Being a producer for comedy
Producing a comedy club is an undertaking that requires careful planning and preparation. You need to book the venue, secure headliners, find opening comedians, hire a host and sell drinks and food. What would you expect when putting together your own comedy club show?
Book the venue
Once you have your venue booked and the tickets are selling, you can breathe a sigh of relief. The hard part is over and now all that's left to do is stage your show.
But hold on! There's still some stuff to think about before opening night—including whether or not the venue has sound equipment, lighting, parking facilities, and other amenities that will enhance both your performance and audience experience. Here are some things to consider:
Is the venue large enough for ticket sales? If not, what kind of atmosphere would be most conducive for comedy?
Does it have a good sound system so that everyone in attendance can hear during performances?
Will there be enough light onstage so performers don't trip over their feet while doing standup routines or improv skits?
What parking options are available nearby if people drive rather than take public transportation?
Book headliners
A headliner is the main attraction of a comedy show. They’re usually the most popular comedians in town, so you want to book them for your event.
A headliner has earned their place as the headliner because they get the most laughs from an audience. They also charge more money than other comics and make more money for a venue than any of their colleagues or fellow performers on that same bill.
Booking at least one headliner is important for any comedy show, but it’s essential if you want people coming back time after time, year after year (because if there are no great comedians performing at your venue, why would anyone come?).
Book opening comedians
An opening act is a comedian who performs before the headliner. Opening acts are often booked to warm up the audience for a show, but that's not always the case. Some clubs or theaters like to use them as an opportunity to showcase new talent, and you might have an opening act who's just getting started in comedy or isn't well known yet.
It's important to find comedians who will work well with your audience and fit into your show's atmosphere. Look at their résumés and decide whether they'll be able to get laughs from your crowd without being too dirty or offensive—if you've got more of an older crowd than usual, maybe go with a more family-friendly comedian instead of one whose material would appeal more toward young adults (assuming that it doesn't offend anyone else).
Book a host
The host is the person who introduces the comedians and keeps the show running smoothly. The host should be someone who is good with people, but not a comedian themselves. In fact, it's better if they aren't! This is because a good sense of humor isn't necessarily one of their main assets—it's more important that they have a knack for improvising and can think on their feet.
Post fliers and book a photographer
After you've written your show, it's time to start marketing it. There are several ways of doing this, but the most important thing is that you have a flier prepared that advertises your show and can be distributed in the area where the venue will be showing your movie. Try to have these fliers ready at least a week before opening night.
The next step is booking a photographer for your show. This person should either be someone who wants to get into comedy photography or just someone who has plenty of experience taking pictures at events like this one. You'll need their services first thing in the morning on opening day so they can take pictures during rehearsal and later on in the afternoon while people are viewing movies throughout their viewing period (usually around two hours).
When all is said and done, make sure they know they're allowed to post those pictures on social media—it's one of the easiest ways to attract attention from potential fans!
Line up sponsors and sell drinks and food
Next, you'll need to line up sponsors for your comedy show. In order to do that, you need to make sure that you have a venue in place. Then the next step is going to be finding comedians and bands that fit your brand and image.
One of the best ways to promote your comedy show is by advertising with flyers, posters and stickers on glass doors or windows at local businesses (like coffee shops) where people will see them as they go about their daily lives. You can also advertise through social media sites like Facebook and Twitter; however, since these are free advertising platforms it may not be worth your time unless you want exposure without having to spend any money upfront. Again if using social media just remember not everyone uses these so don't expect everyone including in-person friends or family members who live far away – or those who have no interest whatsoever - will follow along!
But wait there's more: once all this has been done then comes making sure food & drinks are served at an affordable price point (if possible).
If you're going to produce a comedy club, you have to have a comedian who can headline.
When you're producing comedy, you have to have a comedian who can headline. The headliner is the main attraction of your show. They're usually the most famous comedians and they get paid more than opening acts. Headliners are booked weeks in advance, so it's important to book your headliner early on.
The last act to perform at a comedy club is called the headliner because that's where you'll find them when booking tickets for shows (usually online), but also because they are typically bigger stars than those who open for them or close out shows with them (which is why many comedians call themselves "middle-liners").
Conclusion
Producing a comedy club is an exciting venture. It can be a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun. You’ll need to put in some research and planning before you get started, but once you do, things should take off quickly. The most important thing is to do your research and make sure that when you hire comedians for your show, they are the right fit for what you want from them as well as being funny

Success suggestion: YOU define what success is to you, family and friends do NOT get to do this for you. They love you, but they are not on the path you are on, and they have no ability to understand the passion that exists within you. There are lots of successes in your life. But all success comes because you consistently and continuously do these five things: 1. Define/know who you are 2. Define/know your destination 3. Create a path to get to your destination 4. Get on that path with determination and a bit of stubbornness 5. Tweak as you go

★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★How change can be successfully implemented within an organization. The steps established by John Kotter to help improve change efforts and avoid pitfalls that often lead to failure. In my organization, we often talk about how change is inevitable in this evolving world of business. The vision of change and understating how to create a sense of urgency can help in establishing a powerful coalition. This coalition requires a clear and concise vision. The communication of this effort will help empower the coalition and plan for short-term wins. Using those wins we can find improvement and perpetuate this change by documenting and solidifying the change.
Many companies are facing extraordinary challenges that require flexibility and adaptability. Changing technologies, faster processes, and global business markets are helping to develop new and improved business strategies. In a dog-eat-dog world, it’s either change or get left behind.
“Life is change. If you aren’t growing and evolving, you’re standing still and the rest of the world is surging ahead” (Penny, 2008).
Companies are responding to a barrage of threats and continue using archaic standardized processes. But what happens when the threat forces change or the standard process no longer works? A business must learn quickly and shift accordingly or face certain extinction. The question of how business is most effective in promoting change requires a simple approach to flexibility. The fundamental steps necessary for any business to make a change would be to focus on the exchanges between leaders and followers that deal with both aspects of transactional and transformational leadership styles. These exchanges must go beyond individual interests in pursuit of a shared vision. These leadership styles are not exclusive nor do leaders necessarily exhibit one more than the other. Depending on the situation, a leader may change and pivot to gain the most traction over the desired behavior (Lumen, 2017).
In business, we find that change is inevitable. Change is the evolution of which companies continue to compete, succeed and perform at peak performance. Is all change good or do we just embrace the idea that we should transform regardless of need? In theory, flexibility and good business practices lean toward a successful transition. A seasoned company may practice certain skills favorable to change. Inevitably, we see businesses using a myriad of change techniques to improve manufacturing, inventory, accounting, sales, operations, procurement, information security or customer service. Processes can be turbulent within a company and use the correct approach to change requires business legerdemain. John Kotter is a leading professor and speaker dedicated to promulgating the efficiencies of successful change transformation and transitioning within an organization. The effectiveness of change within an organization can easily fail and steps can be taken to improve its success (Matsu**bleep**a, 2018). John Kotter focuses on 8 elements of change that contribute to boosting quality and improving the chance of success when implementing change (Kotter, 1996).
The now-retired John Kotter has established himself at the forefront for change management success using these steps.
Establishing a Sense of Change
It has become common in business that people become complacent to immersing themselves in the very day, mundane routine of their job without thinking twice about how a change would affect their situation. Once companies being to look at their situation and begin to understand that change is inevitable and necessary to be competitive and improving revenue, they begin to take the necessary steps to change. The problem is that many change attempts run into barriers and are stifled by ignorance and surrendering to defeat. When looking at establishing a sense of urgency within an organization, it is imperative to draw attention to those areas where change is a necessary and foster change in perspective that will allow a majority of the organization to feel that change is necessary in order for it to be accepted. The proper steps necessary for succeeding in this first step is to look at the organization as a whole and look at the competition, and the realities endowed by the organization. This will help in identifying and discussing any possible situations that will arise and hone in on potential opportunities at present. This leads to establishing an important coalition for empowering your urgency of change (Kotter, 1996).
Establishing a Powerful Coalition
When people look at change the idea of change is often met with resistance. This resistance often paralyzes middle and senior management and hinders the transformation process. A network of people within the organization capable of perpetuating the change idea can help to systemically move through each phase of the change process with more success. A top-down approach to assembling your idea for change begins at the top. It is imperative that the senior leaders and people at the top understand that this change is for the betterment of the organization and transforming this requires the support of leaders and managers of expertise. Once a guiding coalition has been established and the leaders and managers are on board with the idea for a change it is important to communicate this vision unambiguously (Kotter, 1996).
Creating the Vision
It is difficult to see where you are going without a clear vision. The idea for business change is essentially the same if you are going to be successful in your transition. Without a clear understanding of which direction, the change is going, the picture of what the future would look like without the appropriate changes become myopic and relative to one’s own perspective. Sharing this vision is essential in helping leaders and manager perpetuate a re-engineered change that will minimize the chance of failure. Clear concise and unambiguous communication with a systemic vision that can be explained in 5 minutes or less will evoke understanding and interest better than an elaborate and mind-numbing collection of information inundating any possibility of interest (Kotter, 1996).
Communicating the Vision
Communication is essential in implanting change. With so many forms of communication and the digital age allowing more people to tap into more forms of communication, we have become lost in front of our computers and tend to avoid face to face contact. Communicating your vision is important to the success of the change. It is important that senior leaders and people who are part of the guiding coalition share the vision. You want to promote the understanding that the foundation for this change requires commitment at all levels of leadership and needs to be embraced in order to focus on the new direction for the organization. Using many forms of communication, in simple and laymen terms will help establish a two-way communication effort that both leaders, managers, and employees can understand in their daily operations and existing processes. Adding additional understanding can be met with stories, metaphors, and examples of compelling changes for the future while helping leadership align with the vision. Use every process and vehicle in your arsenal to perpetuate the continued vision and teach new behaviors through the guiding coalition. This will help managers who can influence employees feel empowered (Kotter, 1996).
Empowering Others to Act on the Vision
The empowerment of employees is imperative to the success of preventing and stifling the implementation of change. Employees may understand that change is necessary to move forward with the vision of the organization, but without the proper tools or the necessary equipment to continue the vision of the organization, my unmotivated managers and employees to proceed with the change effort. Understanding that removing obstacles and utilizing all of the vehicles within your prevue will help prevent the unintentional stalling of change even before it beings. It is important to identify any possible barriers that would hinder the change process. This adjustment should include any processes, structures, procedures, and reward systems that would otherwise derail the change effort. It is important to identify behaviors, good or bad, that contribute to the change effort and act accordingly by providing positive re-enforcement and rewarding those that invest in the idea for the new vision. Empowerment will result in the implementation of change and will result in changes. Those short-term wins will help propel you to the next level (Kotter, 1996).
Planning and Creating Short-Term Wins
Establishing short-term wins is important in perpetuating the change effort. Short term wins are a continued succession of what the change effort has brought to the organization. These improvements can be seen within 6 to 18 months and it is necessary to continue its momentum by keeping the stakeholders engaged. Identifying the processes and projects that are directly related to the change result in a clear understanding that the change is being effective. These wins can be identified by visible changes that coincide with something specifically being changed in the organization. For example, money savings, the reduction in process time, the additional revenue generate, are examples of specific change efforts that are directly related to the change effort. Identifying these short-term wins may require a reallocation of resources or personnel to continue the change effort and give the guiding coalition the authority to oversee these changes. Continually identify these wins and communicate those wins to senior leadership. We find that short-term wins can give an immediate understanding of the success the change is having and collecting these wins will allow you to implement additional change to further the change effort (Kotter, 1996).
Consolidate Improvements and Producing Additional Change
Consolidating these wins and gains of the change effort will help in implementing additional changes geared toward the change effort. These steps will help prevent the relapse of old behaviors or methods as well as reducing the complacency many have. Highlighting the short-term wins will help re-enforce the idea that the change is working. This will gain leverage for implementing additional changes and persuading leaders, managers, and stakeholders to commit to additional changes. This can help implement processes or procedures that have not become obsolete and removed through departments that may be obstructing or creating a bottleneck in the change effort. Solicit the help of lower-level managers to perpetuate the idea of change and assign lower-level managers to work with guiding coalition projects (Kotter, 1996). This will reassure the participation of lower-level managers and create buy-in for subject matter experts to participate in the change effort. Remove resistant managers who continue to obstruct (Watkins, 2016).
Institutionalizing New Approaches
It is important to document and anchor the change effort. Creating documents, operating instructions and easy to understand information to continue the change effort will solidify the new changes. Additionally, continuing the change effort through the alignment of supervisory operating instructions and using a promotion system to re-enforce the values of the change will help support the continued establishment for the change. This alignment of change and organizational processes will help in adjusting training and essential activates required to sustain the competencies associated with the change.
Summary
It is ultimately up to the individual organization to select the best approach to change. Understanding the steps necessary for a successful change effort can improve the chances for success within an organization. The implementation of change can be difficult. The need for change is evolving as business improves technology, and processes become more competitive. These steps are a giant leap forward in the preservation of changes necessary to gain that edge in an evolving business environment. Business is turbulent and requires leadership legerdemain. This co-existence of business change, technology, and competition is a continual process ultimately based on organization and vision.
