MBA1982 The Most Reliable Way To Become Wealthy + Free Ride Friday Feb 11, 2022

Show notes

More research and preparation went into this episode than any we’ve done before. It’s that important.

Break out the notepad, and get ready to learn what is inarguably, logically the single best way to become wealthy. It’s not about inventing a magic product, or manipulating the system in some way.

It’s about a slow, steady, tortoise-and-hare build to a financial situation in which you’re no longer trading your time for money.

Today, Omar shares how for a very long time, he pursued wealth in the wrong way — and what made him change course.

Most of us don’t grow up wealthy, and as a result we learn the wrong lessons about how wealth is created. Those bad lessons follow us into adulthood, even after we acquire money. Which is exactly why we fail to build on our successes effectively.

Get the details, and start thinking about your path to wealth. Click Play!

MBA1981 Personal Finance Tips For Business Owners Feb 10, 2022

Show notes

Personal finance is different for entrepreneurs.

For the conventionally employed, so many expenses and lifestyle choices are dictated by the job. But for independent business owners, the equation is much more flexible.

Unfortunately, not every entrepreneur takes advantage of that fact.

Today, Omar offers advice from his own experience on how to do better financially in your private life, even as your business goes through its normal ups and downs. By leveraging the unique freedom entrepreneurship offers, you can get a leg up that regular folk simply don’t have access to.

It’s just a matter of customizing your lifestyle.

Hear the questions you should be asking yourself (or your accountant), and start figuring out if there’s untapped financial potential in your life. Click Play!

MBA1980 Q&A Wednesday: I got offered a promotion a month before I was going to start my business. What should I do? Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

It’s a great problem to have: being forced to choose between good, steady pay and the opportunity to start your own business.

…but it’s a problem nonetheless.

It’s Q&A Wednesday, and one of our listeners is in a big ol’ success pickle! They put over a year into building their own business on the side, while simultaneously working an unrewarding dead-end day job — or so they thought.

Just as the time to make the final leap to entrepreneurship was approaching, the day job offered our listener a huge promotion (and a sizable raise).

We’re sweating just hearing about it.

Today, Omar helps this listener — and anyone in a similar position — make one of the biggest calls ever. The key to finding the “right” answer? Taking a deep, hard, honest look at what really matters to you. Click Play!

MBA1979 How to Be in the Software Business Without a Software Feb 08, 2022

Show notes

There’s money to be made in the software game — even if you couldn’t code your way out of a wet paper bag.

Entrepreneurs looking to make online income (even the “passive” kind, insofar as that exists) can’t do better than SaaS products. There’s no inventory, no shipping, and lots of recurring revenue month after month. And if you choose…there’s no software engineering involved.

How? Affiliate marketing is how.

You can make an entire income by piggybacking off someone else’s software. The key is to find the audience you have the most credibility with, and steer them towards the affiliate products you can honestly recommend.

Hear our breakdown of how to get into the affiliate software game, and start pulling in that dough. Click Play!

MBA1978 Must Read: Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff by Richard Carlson Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

Whatever you’re worried about, it’s probably not that big of a deal.

That can be hard to hear. It can be hard to acknowledge. But it’s also very, very true.

Today, we review a classic: Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff by Richard Carlson. Omar first read this book 17 years ago, well before he became an independent business person. But since then, he’s read it — and referred back to it — over and over.

Some books just stick with you.

In this Must-Read book review, we unpack the philosophy that made this best-seller such an important part of millions of people’s outlooks. By zooming out and putting your stressors in perspective, you can take a much healthier, and even more productive, approach to life and entrepreneurship.

MBA1977 Are You The Bottleneck in Your Business? + Free Ride Friday Feb 04, 2022

Show notes

Are you holding your business back?

It’s a classic problem for solopreneurs and small businesses. The founder is used to personally taking care of everything; but when the business gains traction, there are more decisions than anyone can handle alone.

As a result, the work backs up behind one person, whose inability to let other people share the steering wheel slows the whole operation down.

Is this you?

Today, we’ll discuss how to assess whether this is happening in your business.

More importantly, we’ll share what you can do about it. We would know — at one point, our very own Omar realized that if he didn’t get out of the team’s way, we’d be stuck in a rut.

Swallow your pride, and take your business from plateauing to growing. Click Play!

MBA1976 Should You Have an Online Community for Your Customers? Feb 03, 2022

Show notes

The online community: is it just a gimmick, or an important part of a modern business approach?

Whether it’s a Facebook group, a Slack channel, Discord, or something else, giving your customers a place to hang out together can have its advantages.

But of course, someone has to devote the time and effort necessary to build and maintain these communities.

Today, we explore what it takes to create and manage an online community, and what your business can gain from it. While not appropriate for every kind of business, a community can drive customer loyalty, retention, and help spread good word of mouth.

We’ll share our experience with these communities, and why we’re currently creating one for our own customers.

MBA1975 Q&A Wednesday: Do I need to reply to all my comments on social and YouTube? Feb 02, 2022

Show notes

Engagement is crucial. But how much engagement can you handle?

It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’ve got a listener with a problem that most creators would be happy to have. Their social feeds and YouTube channel are brimming with comments!

The problem: do all these comments need replies?

You have to engage, but it’s impossible to keep up with every comment on a popular account. How much is too much? How much is too little?

This listener is burning out fast by replying to pretty much everything. Is it worth it?

Today, we offer a system for maintaining the conversation without losing your marbles. By prioritizing certain kinds of engagement and creating firm boundaries, you can strike a balance between engagement and exhaustion.
