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

“If you add a social element to the work that you do and the goals that you set, you will become immensely more productive. Literally, your productivity will skyrocket.” Maneesh Sethi In this episode, we have a special podcast dedicated to The Focus 55. For those of you that don’t know what a Focus 55 is, here you go. A Focus 55 is a 55-hour productivity workshop where you focus on 1-2 goals that will catapult your business in 55 hours. It is a time where we suggest putting off all other projects/goals/distractions that you may have so you can focus on these one or two things. We will be explaining the structure of The Focus 55, the point of it, and the incredible results that dozens of entrepreneurs have achieved. “Move fast and break things.” Noah Everton On the show with me to talk about this 3-day insane workshop is none other that the creator and brilliant mind behind the Focus 55, Noah Everton. Noah created the Focus 55 three years ago and has been generous enough to let us use the model in The Entrepreneur House. Now, Noah is also an entrepreneur and been a location independent for five years. Originally, he started off in the United States Air Force on the combat aircrew. He was a professional poker player, a proud college DROPOUT and now an entrepreneur and internet marketing consultant. So, without further adieu here is an episode that many have been waiting for…..The Focus 55! “Many people that go through it [The Focus 55] report doing a full months of work, just in a weekend.” Noah Everton Outtakes: 42:45 The Entrepreneur House events in 2017: Feb.

On this episode, we have Shanti Rubens on our show. In 2010, he decided that he no longer wanted to practice law in a traditional sense and started traveling while working remotely as an online lawyer. Shanti created products pertaining to law in Australia and figured out how to market them. He now runs LegalZebra.com.au which provides legal templates and advice. Shanti decided he wanted to create a passive business while traveling and has cracked the SEO code to make a Legal Zebra an evergreen passive business. He has done an outstanding job creating a product and business that is fully passive whether he works or not. Today, we will be talking to Shanti about how he made it happen. “It’s a hell of a lot more enjoyable when you do believe in your clients interests and they are doing good things in the world.” Shanti Rubens How Shanti Cracked the SEO Code: 14:14 Additional Tips and Tricks for SEO: 36:08 Honorable Mentions: Legal Zebra https://www.legalzebra.com.au/ SemRush https://www.semrush.com/ RubensLegal.com http://www.rubens.com.au/ WordPress.com DynamiteCircle.com Contact Info: https://www.legalzebra.com.au/

In this episode, we have a recent Alum of The Entrepreneur House on the show, Kamil Kaminski! Kamil is from Warsaw, Poland and runs a business providing content for entrepreneurs that don’t have much time by interviewing them and translating those interviews into blog articles. His background is in mathematics and education. He was developing an E-learning platform that would prepare students for their exams, but just before sealing the deal with venture capitalists he decided to pursue his dream of being location independent and starting a real business rather than working with a VC backed startup. He’s talents are content strategy, and creating educational blog posts. In this episode, we will address the why behind content, writing a blog and why they are both important. We will also touch on new business and product ideas and how to scale them from 0-$4,000 in one month.  P.S. We have to let you know we had some connection issues during the podcast and there are a few choppy places in the audio. Many apologies we did the best we could to patch it up nicely. Valuable Tips from Kamil: The questions you should ask yourself before you start a new business or product…. 1. Are you excited to work on this everyday for the next 4 years? 2. Would you like to have lunch with your clients every Friday? 3. Is it scaleable and can it run without you? 4. Will it launch quickly? “It’s human nature to write about yourself. What you should be doing is writing about the person who is going to be reading your blog.” Kamil Kaminski “I though f*** that….I told the VC’s I won’t take their offer.” Kamil Kaminski “I created my offer using the exact problems and objections they had.” Kamil Kaminski Honorable Mentions: Tropical MBA Podcast http://www.tropicalmba.com/ DCBKK Conference http://www.tropicalmba.com/dcbkk-in-25-photos/ Taylor Pearson https://taylorpearson.me Niel Napier https://jobrack.eu/ Clare Goodwin http://solepal.com/ Paul Levine http://theentrepreneurhouse.com/ep-123-building-an-audience-live-workshop-inside-the-entrepreneur-house-w-paul-levine/ Dan Norris http://7daystartup.com/ Dynamite Circle http://www.tropicalmba.com/dc/ Ep. 127 ~ The Power of Giving Away Your Time http://theentrepreneurhouse.com/ep-127the-power-of-giving-your-time-a-wrap-up-to-chiang-mai/ Contact Info: hi@kamin.ski contentmarketingdoneforyou.com http://www.kamin.ski/
