TMBA 536: Are You Really "Unemployable"?
Podcast 46:40| Download | Stitcher | iTunes | Comment
In today's episode, we are reaching into the TMBA mailbag and responding to some interesting questions and comments we've received from our listeners.
There is a word that gets tossed around in the entrepreneurial community, and it's actually something that is sometimes worn as a sort of badge of honor.
We see it on t-shirts and social media, and it's usually represented by entrepreneurs who have rejected working for an employer at a job where they held no equity and instead chose to start their own business.
But is it really a good thing to be "Unemployable?"
You'll hear our thoughts about that on today's episode, as well as some insight for people who have become frustrated by meet-ups and networking events that they feel, aren't providing enough value.
Listen to this week's show and learn:
Where the feeling of being "Unemployable" usually comes from. (1:30)
What the "Coffee Table Test" is. (8:12)
The benefits of working with "House Money". (13:47)
