The Business Method: Interviewing Billionaires, Billion Dollar Founders & the World’s Most Successful People 🎧🔥

Wade Alters | Founder of WadeAlters.com ~ Current Series ~ 100 Interviews with 100 Location-Independent Entrepreneurs that have over $1,000,000 in Annual Revenue   The more I learn about personal brands the more I like the idea of the business model. Almost any entrepreneur or high-profile person that starts to share his or her knowledge with the world almost instantaneously creates a personal brand. In fact, I would even argue that most entrepreneurs have a personal brand already, even if they are low-profile and still just working in the day-to-day of their business.  We all have a personal brand in some fashion. Today's guest is Wade Alters and we get to chat with him about building his personal brand over the past 6-years into a 7-figure location independent business. Wade shares about starting out as a dating coach and then moving away from that into the personal brand space, the mindset of a successful personal branded business and the resistance that many people have around personal branding. If you are thinking about personal branding or have a personal brand already, this episode is for you...and a head’s up. We broke up Wade’s interview into two episodes and his second episode will be published tomorrow!       Part I:   02:42: Why Wade Chooses Santa Monica, California As a Base? 05:07: Who is Wade Alters? 11:08: Starting Out in the Dating Industry 16:40: Creating a Personal Brand 21:04: Resistance for Creating a Personal Brand   Part II: 22 02:06: Who We Fear When We Start a Personal Brand? 08:20:  The Evolution of a Personal Brand 11:54: Time to Create a Sustainable Personal Branded Business 16:18: The Value of Location Independence 21:15: The Difference Between a 5, 6, & 7-Figure Mentality Regarding Personal Brands     Contact Info:   https://www.wadealters.com/   The Wade Alters Show   https://www.wadealters.com/podcast/
