TMBA 389: TMBA Mailbag: How Can I Get Started on My Own Business?
Podcast 44:29 | Download | Stitcher | iTunes | Comment
One of the requests that Dan and Ian have received a lot is to do more of an old school episode; the kind of one-on-one conversation that permeated the early days of this podcast.
On this week's episode, they are doing just that.
Dan and Ian are reaching back into the TropicalMBA mailbag and answering questions that listeners have submitted through the mailing list on a variety of topics, including advice for entrepreneurs who don't know where to begin, why being an entrepreneur means that you might lose a lot of friends, and what the two of them have been up to lately.
Listen to this week's show and learn:
What kinds of "performance indicators" Dan and Ian use in their everyday lives. (1:37)
Whether or not you lose your friends when you become an entrepreneur. (7:05)
Why being smart doesn't automatically make you a good entrepreneur. (13:36)
What you can do this week to get started on your entrepreneurial journey. (24:20)
Why Dan and Ian haven't started a new business. (39:34)
