279: Stand Out, Grow Your Tribe, and Build a Successful Business

With Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income

by

What can I say about today’s guest but that he’s one of the nicest (and most successful) guys you’ll ever meet.

In other words, Pat Flynn is proof positive that the saying nice guys finish last is a myth.

In his latest book Superfans: The Easy Way to Stand Out, Grow Your Tribe, and Build a Successful Business, Pat outlines what it takes to turn followers, subscribers, and customers into Superfans.

People don’t become superfans the moment they find you, Pat says. They become superfans because of the magical moments you create for them over time.

His new book will show you how. Click below to join our conversation now, or keep scrolling for a summary.

265: Ryan Levesque on the Single Most Important Decision Before Starting Your Business

Author of the new book, Choose

by

One of the most generous people I know is the guy who makes a return visit to Read to Lead nearly four years after his first stop.

His name is Ryan Levesque and he’s the kind of guy that, on the day his new book releases, he decided to GIVE IT AWAY along with a couple of hundred bucks in bonuses.

That new book is called Choose: The Single Most Important Decision Before Starting Your Own Business. Click that link and you only pay shipping ($7.95).

Ryan is throwing in a few hundred bucks in extras and a few surprises along the way as well.

See? Pretty generous, right?

He freely shares quite a bit of his knowledge in our conversation today also (we chatted for nearly an hour). If, after listening, you can’t get enough of Ryan (who can blame you), head on over to the Boss-Free Virtual Summit (before May 7) where Ryan is one of over 34 speakers on the topic of starting a business and being your own boss.

259: Nurturing the Crazy Ideas That Transform Industries

With Loonshots author Safi Bahcall

by

If you’ve ever wondered how I get some of my guests to come on the show, you can thank, well, my guests.

As I’ve progressed through this journey called a podcast, I’ve had the opportunity to network with some of the smartest people on the planet.

One of them is bestselling author, Dorie Clark. Dorie has been kind enough to make unsolicited introductions to numerous other authors, many of whom you’ve been exposed to here on the show. Today’s featured guest is one such person.

His name is Safi Bahcall and his new book is Loonshots: How to Nurture the Crazy Ideas That Win Wars, Cure Diseases, and Transform Industries. I absolutely LOVED it!

Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow, says it’s “not to be missed by anyone who wants to understand how ideas change the world.”

This book is on nearly every major publication’s must-read list. Listen to today’s episode to find out why!

258: Dead End Job? Do This Next!

by

Today, I want to share with you some crucial career advice, at least one element of which has taken me longer to learn than I’d like to admit.

These are the next three steps you need to take if your current job is no longer fulfilling you and you’re not sure what to do next.

Now, it may be that you simply need to find a new job. It may also mean, it’s time for you to take the leap and venture out on your own; a dream of many, but a path that is taken by few.

1. Begin with the End in Mind

Set a deadline, a date in the future by which you desire to ultimately make the transition.

The first time we set this kind of goal, it made all the difference. At one point in our marriage, my wife and I decided we wanted her to have the freedom to stay at home.

So, we began by picking a date into the future, by which we wanted to make this a reality.

Our choice was aided by determining how much of a nest egg we felt was necessary, and how long it would take us to aggressively save that much money.
