In this episode, my buddy Mike Rinard and I take a look back at our freelancing careers. We’ve had adventures with Stormtroopers, surfing sessions, and failures - all of which have created the guidelines we use to run our businesses today. This one’s all about the right mindset to build a biz for your life, so make sure to check it out.
Can’t-Miss Moments From This Episode:
- How do you pick your specialty when you're first starting your business? If you’re stuck, I’ve got a two-second trick to bust through all the head trash and get you going.
- BS alert: let’s go ahead and bust the myth that entrepreneurs are either wildly successful or complete and utter failures. We get real on what life as an entrepreneur actually looks like.
- “Nobody gets to tell you how to work” - Mike and I swap stories about the unconventional office spaces (like the beach, or Disney World) we’ve used along the way.
- One of the biggest perks of entrepreneurship is freedom - so why do we work ourselves into the ground instead of enjoying what we’ve built? Here’s how Mike sees it (and you could start using this philosophy in your business TODAY).
- So you failed… how do you know when it’s time to throw in the towel? We’ve got a counterintuitive approach that might just have you embracing failure (and dare I say… having fun with it?).
This one is jam-packed full of advice. Don’t miss out - listen now!
