TMBA 274: When You’ve Built Yourself a Job Instead of a Business
Podcast 31:59 | Download | Stitcher | iTunes | Comment
With the help of our friend Taylor Pearson from TaylorPearson.me, we are continuing our 5 part series. The first episode was about making that first $1,000 of income. This episode is all about the next phase of a business, where you are starting to make a living, but you're trying to figure out how to scale that and turn it into a real asset. We'll talk about how we got out of our jobs and built a business, how long we were living broke for and the fundamental difference between building yourself a job and a business.
Listen to this week's show and learn:
Why you should be building in as much margin as you possibly can in the beginning.
How to structure your business to focus on the pipeline.
Why you should be more like Dilbert.
When and how we decided to hire our first employee.
What it means to "Optimize for Interesting" and why you should be doing it.
The benefits of living broke.
