SPI 628: My TikTok 30-Day Challenge Starts Today

November 11, 2022 08:00 - 11 minutes - 10.6 MB

#628 Commitment is essential if you want to explore new opportunities and see what the results could be. For something to have a chance to do anything, you have to give it a chance to do something. For me, public challenges to put work into something for a certain number of days are a very powerful motivational tool. That’s why I’m committing to a platform I’ve neglected for the longest time. So what am I experimenting with? For the next thirty days, I’ll be posting on TikTok every ...

November 09, 2022 08:00 - 41 minutes - 37.9 MB

October 28, 2022 07:00 - 18 minutes - 16.6 MB

#624 I don’t even know if I’m allowed to share this with you yet. You see, this kind of thing is out of my control now. In fact, many of my business friends said this would happen and warned me against going down this path. So what’s happening? Am I selling the company or something? Don’t worry, that’s not it. That said, a huge change is coming because I just signed a book deal. That’s right, after self-publishing Let Go, Will It Fly, and Superfans, I’m now going down the traditiona...

October 05, 2022 07:00 - 54 minutes - 49.6 MB

#617 One thing that’s true about content creation is that consistency breeds legitimacy. But what if you keep putting in the hours and still don’t gain any traction?

September 21, 2022 07:00 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MB

#613 One of the best ways to help your audience is to write a book based on your knowledge and experience.

September 02, 2022 07:00 - 10 minutes - 9.7 MB

#608 I'm not afraid to admit when I make a mistake, and that’s exactly why I’m publishing this episode.

August 26, 2022 07:00 - 12 minutes - 11.8 MB

#606 What is our most important job as marketers? The number one thing we should do is help people make decisions. When potential customers come across our products they need to be able to understand if what we’re offering is right for them or not. So how do we do that? We’re talking about my OREO marketing strategy in this great Follow-Up Friday episode. That sounds delicious, I know, but OREO stands for objection, rebuttal, example, and outcome. I’ll give you an in-depth look at e...

#605 What happens if your business idea takes off, but you still don’t get the lifestyle you want?

#604 There are many tools out there that could make our lives easier as entrepreneurs. But how do you know which ones are right for you? This is something I used to struggle with.

So I have a challenge for you today. I’d like you to run an audit of the tools you’re paying for right now and think a...

#602 Today I'm spilling some truth and sharing things that are going to upset a few people. We'll be discussing three things that people, friends, and even mentors and coaches told me to do.

July 13, 2022 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MB

#593 College is expensive. Shoker, I know. But did you know that the “four-year degree” is basically a myth at this point? Fewer than 40% of students graduate in four years.

Greg Langston is on the show today to walk us through how the program works and to give us an inside look at the business behind it. He tells u...

SPI 590: Share the Platform

July 01, 2022 07:00 - 12 minutes - 11 MB

#590 In the early days, as Smart Passive Income began to grow, people started asking me if they could guest blog on the site, or guest host on the podcast, and I said no. It took me some time to realize that I was being selfish and actually hurting my brand by closing it to other creators. Your platform doesn't exist for you. It exists to serve your audience. And there are so many people out there with skills and knowledge you don't have, who can help your audience. So you owe it to...

SPI 588: Entrepreneurship is an Energy Game

June 24, 2022 07:00 - 12 minutes - 11.2 MB

#588 I was thinking about something the other day: that success as an entrepreneur is largely a game of energy management. You may remember when we had Jim Collins on the show to talk about his idea of the “20-mile march,” from his book Great by Choice. In the book, Jim talks about the idea of going 20 miles a day, no more and no less, and it's that consistency that'll get you to your goal. Even if you feel like you can do more, you don't because you want to manage that energy and e...

June 22, 2022 07:00 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MB

June 10, 2022 07:00 - 14 minutes - 13.7 MB

#584 Writing a book and getting it out into the world is one of the hardest things you can do—and one of the most fulfilling. I'm currently working on my next book, titled The Lean Learner. After self-publishing three books, I want to try to get this one in the hands of a traditional publisher. If it works out, it could be an amazing way of expanding my reach into areas I haven't explored yet. And if it doesn't work out? There will still be a lot to learn from having tried. Show not...
