Franklin Barbecue

by Steve Johnsen

Share this:

Aaron Franklin runs one of the most popular barbecue joints in Texas (a state where people are serious about their barbecue). The barbecue industry is extremely competitive–and secretive–and you’d think that Aaron would keep his recipes to himself. But unlike most of his peers, Aaron freely shares with the world his recipes, his techniques, and everything about what he does.

What Aaron knows is that although the recipe is important, the real secret to an awesome barbecue is the chef. Even though he gives his secrets away, people still line up for blocks to buy his meat.

Building a website that actually makes you money is much the same way. I can freely share my process and my website success formula, but it still makes a huge difference who is building the site.

How about in your business? What are you really awesome at that no one else can replicate? Be sure that you’re sharing it with the world on your website.

To your success,

Steve Johnsen

    “I have benefited so much from my work with Steve. He is such a mixture of heart, talent, and incredible intelligence, that he gets you clarity with such rapidity and ease. On one particular session where I was rather down, I opened up to a rather personal and very raw space with him. He made me perfectly comfortable to share what I was thinking and feeling. And at the perfect time, using my experiences shared on previous sessions, he asked the perfect question that shifted everything. I would recommend Steve's coaching to help you with whatever you want to accomplish. Steve is the real deal! I would recommend him to anyone committed to improving their business, themselves and their lives.”

    “Steve is an excellent coach. He has the ability to listen deeply, reflect honestly, ask challenging questions, and help clients view life from a new perspective....[Steve] helped me unwrap some unconscious limiting beliefs from long ago about money. For the first time I was able to see how I’d been limiting my business growth because of my discomfort with growing wealthy. Once I became aware of that belief I was free to make new choices. On to prosperity!...[Steve] is simply a great coach with outstanding listening skills.”
