Entrepreneur Bae - Dating an Entrepreneur

Entrepreneurs are usually very ambitious people. We have big dreams and lofty goals, and most of the time, anything that gets in the way of those goals gets nixed. We don’t have time to waste doing things that are meaningless or that don’t advance our interests. 

So when it comes to being a single entrepreneur, it can be easy to find yourself in a sad state of singles purgatory. There, you’ll find it hard to make time to focus on your dating life, and when you do, it’s hard to connect with someone who is unambitious or who doesn’t understand your extreme ambition.

I’m single. I have been for quite some time now, and most of the time, dating takes a back seat to my goals. I have a habit of telling myself that once I reach my goals, I’ll be able to dedicate more time to dating.

Right now, my business is bae. I’m fully dedicated to it and I feel guilty when I spend too much time doing other things. For instance, when I go out for...

5 Ways to Instantly Boost Your Confidence as an Entrepreneur

Running a business is full of tasks that involve doing things that may be intimidating for some entrepreneurs. For instance, many business owners find interacting with people for business —talking to customers, suppliers, business partners, etc.—horribly intimidating. Things like hosting a podcast like I do, communicating on social media or even talking to people via email or telephone can give people such anxiety that they run from doing it. 

No matter what business you are in, you’ll have to communicate with people in some form or another. You may have to talk to customers to make sales, handle customer service inquiries, talk to suppliers, talk to business partners, talk to employees, and so much more. Whether you’re a new entrepreneur or a seasoned one, this can be one of the most intimidating parts of doing business. 

Many times, it’s intimidating because you have a hard time giving yourself credit for being an expert. You may feel...

Is the Universe Speaking to You?

I’ve been thinking about synchronicity a lot lately. Not quite sure what that is? Google defines it as…

The simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection.

It’s a concept that was first introduced by German Psychologist, Carl Jung, around 1921.

I’ve been wanting to talk about it here, because I believe that there’s significance in synchronicity when it comes to intuition and how we communicate with the supernatural universe—or how it communicates with us. So I’ve been thinking about synchronicity a lot lately, and yesterday I realized that I’ve been experiencing it a lot in the last few days.

The synchronicity I’ve been experiencing is that I’ve been seeing 6s like crazy. I’m not typically aware of numerical patterns like that—I could look at the clock at 11:11 and it would go right over my head—but for whatever reason, this 6 episode stood...

Should You Go Into Business With Friends?

When you have a really good friend, you want to do everything together. You want to hang out, eat together, drink together, and sometimes even live together. You spend so much time and share so much of the same energy that you can basically finish each other’s thoughts. 

If you happen to have that entrepreneurial spirit, you’ve probably dreamed out loud about your aspirations to your good friend, and they’ve probably dreamed out loud about theirs to you. You may spend countless hours bouncing ideas off of each other and planning out how you’ll spend your first Million in your future life.

If you both dream of starting a business, there may even be times that you talk about starting a business together, but is that a good idea? It depends.

There are so many layers to this question that there’s really no clear cut answer, so let’s look at a few of the things that you should consider before you decide to take the plunge plunge and basically...

Can't Stay Focused? This Might Be Why

One of the questions that I get from other entrepreneurs pretty consistently is how to stay focused on your goals. If you’re having the problem of constantly losing focus, you might need to do some trouble shooting.

One of the most common, and easy to identify, issues that would cause you to be unable to focus is that you aren’t really clear about exactly what your goals are. It sounds too simple to be an issue, but most of us have done it before.

Sometimes people say they want things that they really don’t want. It’s easy for someone to say that they want to own a business, but most people aren’t willing—or maybe just aren’t ready—to do the work it takes to build one. That could be because of fear, complacency, or any number of reasons.

People end up mistaking wishes for goals and then going through the motions to convince themselves that they are actually out here chasing their dreams. What do I mean by that? People set...

Be Social on Social - 5 Do's and 5 Don'ts

If you have a business, you are probably using social media to connect with your audience and market your business. If you have an online business, it’s 100% an absolute must.

Here’s why. 

According to Hootsuite, in 2019:

  • 3.48 billion people use social media.
  • 69% of adults use social media.
  • 90% of brands use social media to increase brand awareness.
  • More than 40% of digital consumers use social networks to research new brands or products.

So if you aren’t reaching people on social media, you really should be or you could be leaving money on the table—whether your business is online or not.

Most people make the mistake of believing that a large following equates to dollar signs. In other words, people think that the more followers they have, the more money they’ll make. So everyone is on this mad dash to get tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of followers. 

A lot of followers don’t always equal a lot of sales but it is...

Does Success Require Passion?

To grow my Instagram following without having to spend money on ads, I try to engage, as much as possible, with other pages. I ask questions on my page, I reply to comments and I regularly peruse through hashtags to comment and like posts from people I’m not following. 

Recently, as I was perusing hashtags, I came across a post from someone that said something like this…

I don’t like basketball, but I want to own a team in the NBA.
I hate watching Big Brother on CBS, but I would like to own the show.
I don’t like coffee but I want to buy a Starbucks.
The #1 rule to business is profitability. People make the mistake of thinking they have to love the business. Make the money first, then fund your hobby.

If that’s not the dumbest shit I’ve read all week! Does this fool not watch Sharktank?

First of all, if you have enough money to buy any of those businesses, then I would hope you would be smart enough to know not to buy a business you hate....

Trying to Get Chose? Let Your Purpose Choose You

 

I recently did an episode of my podcast called, The Guy Who Built 3 Houses That No One Wanted. In it, I talked about how hard it can be to choose one idea to pursue in entrepreneurship, when you’re one of those people—like me—who constantly get viable business ideas. 

Because I’m one of those people, I get distracted easily and I have to really be diligent about focusing on my one business and giving it my undivided attention. A conversation I had last night with a close friend of mine made me realize that people who are multi-talented also struggle with this.

If you’re extremely gifted at more than one thing, you may find it hard to figure out which talent you should pursue as a business. The friend that I had this conversation with happens to be really talented at two different things, that are in no way related, and she’s actually making money doing each separately. 

She’s found herself in a conundrum trying to decide...

In this online age of one minute millionaire entrepreneurs, everyone wants to get rich. Starting an online business in the wave, so a very common question that people ask is how to start a business when you don’t have much money.

I think it’s a really good question, because it shows the desire and hunger to move on your ambitions in spite of your circumstances not being ideal. Here’s a video that I recently posted on my Instagram page about this topic.

You’ll always need to weigh your options and choose the route that’s best for you. When you want to start a business but you don’t have money, you can do one of two things.

Find Purpose Beyond Your Own Self Interests

 

I can’t swim. I’ve previously told the story of my most recent attempt to learn how to swim in a past episode of my Podcast, Master Your Mission, called Great Things Are Happening Just Outside Your Comfort Zone.

What you may not know about me is that I love to travel. I’ve been to some really cool places all over the world. In many of these places, I’ve found myself in the middle of the ocean on some small boat, clinching my fists with my stomach turning in fear because of the fact that I can’t swim. 

To clarify, I’ll give an example of what I mean. When I visited Puerto Vallarta, in Mexico, my travel buddies and I wanted to go on a day trip to visit the beach in a small town called Yelapa. The only way to get to Yelapa from Puerto Vallarta is a 40 minute boat ride through the choppy ocean down the Pacific Coast. Now, I don’t mean a cruise ship boat ride. I mean a small boat that can hold maybe 10–15 people max. Check...
