I was a little bit late the launch party, but here are three reasons why The Self Reliant Entrepreneur by John Jantsch is a must-read book:

1. As an entrepreneur, I love being able to read thought-provoking chunks of content in this “daily dose” one-page format

2. As a friend of others, this kind of book makes an excellent gift for clients and friends

3. As a marketer, I think it’s brilliant that John produced a book in a format that is both evergreen and gets the reader in a habit of going back to a single piece of content on a daily basis - and potentially year after year. Was this format a coincidence? I think not.

And how about that handsome stack of books? I now own more John Jantsch books than any other author. Fun fact: John has now written 6 pounds of best-selling books (I weighed them).

And hey John, thank you for all you have done for me and small business in general!

If I were 18 and had to do it all over again, I would NOT go to college or graduate school.

Would you?

Aside from maybe doctors and lawyers and some specialized career paths, a general liberal arts or business degree will not give you a marketable skill, and will put most people (and perhaps their parents) deep into debt.

Tommy Griffith founder of ClickMinded and former SEO manager at PayPal and Airbnb says we are in the midst of an "online course renaissance".

Dang he nailed it.

That means many highly skilled people like Tommy are "coursifying" their knowledge and packaging it into affordable, real-world training that businesses will pay you for on day 1.

This is a HUGE swing - going from deep debt and no skills , to no debt and immediate access into higher paying careers.

We also talked about Kajabi, Thinkific and Teachable, as well as Ramit Sethi's IWT and Tim Ferriss.

So much fun to share our story on The Kansas City Star and show-off our new office space designed and installed by Skyline E3, Inc. (gosh what a great experience with them - more to follow on that!)

One another note:

This is a great example of how to leverage content marketing to build Expertise, Authoritativeness & Trust, or E-A-T as Google calls it.

Many companies that do this kind of marketing are not deliberate with their SEO goals when creating and distributing....

...but my SEO friends will see tons of bonuses & evergreen value that goes way beyond a one-dimensional "PR win" that is usually the focus by many companies, agencies and marketers.

If you get a chance, read this article, then read between the lines :-)

And BTW, we can get do this kind of killer content marketing packed with SEO value for you!

Joel Goldberg has one of the most recognizable faces and voices in Kansas City.

While Joel has had a first-row seat to one of the most inspirational stories in recent sports history, I found his personal story to be equally inspiring.

It’s no wonder that he has become a highly sought-after keynote speaker in the metro area and has spoken companies such as Cerner Corporation, Mariner Wealth Advisors, Mobank and Enterprise Bank & Trust and more.

In this episode, Joel shares his amazing story of how he started his career in his early 20’s by applying to many of the 100 or so entry level broadcasting jobs that were available at the time - and he was initially rejected by all of them.

BUT THEN he created his own opportunity by cold-calling scores of TV stations, driving around the country to drop off demo tapes in person, and fought his way into the business with sheer grit and determination.

How many 20 year olds do you know that would pound the phones on their own initiative and road trip their way into a career??!!

You will love this episode!

While many companies like to tout milestones of how many employees they've hired, there's a fast-growing segment of entrepreneurs that are growing million-dollar businesses with no employees!

When I read the book “Million-Dollar One-Person Business” by Elaine Pofeldt I was blown away to see how fast the number of non-employers firms with over $1M is growing.

If you think about it, milestones like revenue growth, employee counts and venture capital raised are old school success metrics – smart entrepreneurs are grown lean businesses and focusing on take-home (profit) and quality of life.

Think about it: would you rather have $1M with no employees and take home $600k, or a $3M business with 30 employees and take home $200k?

In today’s world, the companies that can scale their businesses with the leanest company structures are the ones that are truly crushing it.

Shouts-outs in the interview to: ClickBank, , Camille Arneberg, Willow & Everett, Meghan Telpner, Royal Hawaiian Honey, and SpyGuy.com

Check out my latest podcast to find out how these unicorns are doing it.
