Thriving Practice with Tracy Cherpeski

Episode 16, Terence Viban

Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning-in today for a new episode of Entrepreneur Mindset-Reset, THE podcast where entrepreneurs just like you and me share how they master their mindset to overcome obstacles to their success.

In today’s episode, I am so excited to be speaking with the wonderful, big-hearted Terence Viban.

When Terence and I first spoke about him being a guest on the podcast, he said he wasn’t an entrepreneur, really, but definitely had the mindset part down. Terence has the entrepreneurial spirit, though, and has channeled that spirit and energy into building foundations that support young people in his home country of Cameroon.

In 2018, Terence started his first foundation, which he lovingly named after his mother, Elizabeth. He originally wanted to keep it small, providing vocational training for about 20 young women. There was so much interest, that they ultimately enrolled 40 young women in the training program. They have also provided sewing machines and computer literacy training. You’ll hear Terence say that this knowledge and training provides economic power for women and girls, and this is what they really want and need. 

In late 2020, Terence started a second foundation to support high school students in Cameroon in studying for, and passing, the baccalaureate, which would open the doors for them to study in Europe beyond high school. The foundation connects student teachers in Germany and France with high school students in Cameroon, which provides a win-win for all: student teachers get experience teaching, and the high school students get their credentials. 

You won’t want to miss Terence’s tips for being in the right mindset for success. Also, keep your eyes and ears peeled, because Terence will probably be launching a vegan nutrition business in the near future. And he said he’s not an entrepreneur yet! He has all the makings of a serial entrepreneur if you ask me. Listen and see for yourself. 

So, grab a beverage or a snack and settle-in to listen to Terence and his amazing journey.

Martha’s Bio:

Martha Newport is the Founder and CEO of Martha Newport Realty Group, the top selling real estate team based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Two things are infused in everything she does: Growth and Energy. 

Before launching her real estate business in 2014, Martha had a dynamic 15-year career in marketing and project management at IBM. She did a hard pivot and took a jump into flipping a house, got her real estate license (at night) and leapt into the crazy world of real estate. 

She believes that if you do your best, take care of people first and grow everyday, your life can be big, beautiful and fulfilling. 

Originally from Nova Scotia, Martha has lived in North Carolina for more than half her life now, so her Canadian accent only comes out when she’s extra tired or excited. Outside of work, Martha enjoys spending time with her husband, two kiddos and two ridiculously small dogs, decorating cakes, working out (hard) and practicing meditation daily. 

She is a longtime supporter and volunteer for PORCH, a grass-roots hunger relief organization whose mission is to collect and distribute food for families going hungry in the Chapel Hill and Carrboro community. 

Martha’s passion for growth personally and professionally has been a force for change within herself, her real estate team and her community.

TITLE:

Fake People Have Fake Money - Why Avatars Don’t Work

PITCH:

Most of us are familiar with creating a customer Avatar - the problem is, it doesn't work. Avatars aren't real people, and we've been operating as if a line from Field of Dreams is going to magically come and save the day - if you want to attract people who have the money to pay you, to hire you, you need to understand them on a fundamental level - a level that you won't reach if you create a pretend person. 

I propose that we can make market research sexy - and realize that we're already doing it in our daily marketing and outreach - I'm on a mission to make market research fun (because then you can make dolla dolla bills!).

Takeaways:

Takeaway 1: You're already doing research

Takeaway 2: It's okay to outsource your research (and here's an easy way to do that)

Takeaway 3: How to use the data you collect for the good of your bank account

In my first solo episode, I cover FEAR and the definition of and 12-stages of Burnout.

World Health Organization definition of Burnout:

“Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions:

1. feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;
2. increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and
3. reduced professional efficacy.

Burn-out refers specifically to phenomena in the occupational context and should not be applied to describe experiences in other areas of life.”

12 Stages of Burnout:

1. Compulsion to prove oneself - demonstrating worth obsessively. 

2. Working hard - with an inability to switch off. 

3. Neglecting basic needs - lack of sleep, lack of healthy eating, lack of social interaction. 

4. Displacement of conflicts - problems are dismissed.

5. Revision of values - values are skewed, friends and family dismissed, hobbies irrelevant. 

6. Denial of emerging problems - intolerance, perceiving collaborators as stupid, cynicism, aggression, problems are viewed as caused by work. 

7. Withdrawal - social life small or nonexistent, hard social contacts. 

8. Odd behavioral changes - changes in behavior obvious to friends and family.

9. Depersonalization - seeing neither self nor others as valuable.

10. Inner emptiness - feeling empty inside.

11. Depression - feeling lost, exhausted and the future feels bleak and dark.

12. Burnout syndrome - includes mental and physical collapse; medical attention required.

Professionally, been marketing or selling since I was 14, started with VCRs for people who didn't know what they were - or why they would want one!  So learned educational/consultative sales early on.  These last 20 years, have become a serial entrepreneur, through business consulting for companies from Fortune 50 to Mom and Pop America, and growing a few companies of my own.  Been lucky to have great mentors and partners and love to give back knowledge and kindness I was gifted.  I’ve made networking and giving to others a focus for me - and it is a large part of what I do - I love putting people together with other people, tools or resources that can help them.  That’s my story – and I’m sticking to it.
