412: Strategies for Creating a High-Revenue Microbusiness with Elaine Pofeldt

I first met today’s guest when I discovered her last book The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business. Immediately, I invited her to appear as a speaker for my online Boss-Free Summit. She was great!

Her name is Elaine Pofeldt, and she’s just published a follow-up to that book called Tiny Business, Big Money: Strategies for Creating a High-Revenue Mircobusiness.

If you suspect you may be the bottleneck that is preventing your business from realizing the growth you’d hoped to see, it may be time to add contractors, freelancers, or even (gasp) employees!

In Tiny Business, Big Money, Elaine walks you through the journey dozens of other small business owners have taken to successfully get to that point and realize their true potential.

She profiles nearly 60 microbusinesses who have all reached $1 million in annual revenue without losing control or selling out.

411: The Actions That Will Make AND Keep Your Family Rich with Chris Bystriansky

Few would argue there are many more lucrative options to building wealth than through real estate investing.

That’s the expertise of my guest today, Chris Bystriansky. But more than that, Chris has managed to instill the concepts of passive income through real estate into the brain of his six-year-old daughter, ensuring that she will likely never have to hold down a traditional J.O.B. at any point in her adult life.

They don’t teach this stuff in school.

Chris’s new book is called Renting From My Six-Year-Old: The Actions That Can Make AND Keep Your Family Rich. In it, he walks us through the path he took teaching the power of passive income to his daughter.

People I’ve shared the book with are already beginning to instill these ideas into the minds of their kids. Believe me when I say it’s pretty exciting once you begin to see them grasp the power of getting their money to work for them in truly powerful ways.

410: Creating the Most Persuasive Presentations of Your Life with Dan Roam

My guest today is someone I’ve learned a ton from when it comes to creating and delivering better presentations.

dan roam

His name is Dan Roam. I was first impacted by his first book called The Back of the Napkin (links to his books below). Then, it was Show and Tell and Draw to Win. Later, I had the chance to see him present in person and even got to meet him afterward. He is incredibly gifted at what he does.

His new book, which was released in October of last year, is called The Pop-Up Pitch: The Two-Hour Creative Sprint to the Most Persuasive Presentation of Your Life.

In it, Dan outlines a fast and practical visual storytelling method that puts a powerful new toolkit into the hands of leaders, innovators, salespeople, teachers, and anyone who needs to quickly make an impact on increasingly distracted audiences.

409: Break Free From Daily Burnout, Struggle Less, and Thrive More in Work and Life with Nataly Kogan

Today’s guest is someone I’ve wanted to have on the show for several years now, ever since her first book was published back in 2018.

nataly kogan

I’m talking about Nataly Kogan. She is a successful entrepreneur, highly sought-after keynote speaker, and founder and CEO at Happier Inc., a company that has helped more than one million people live happier lives.

Life is messy and full of challenges, Nataly asserts. That’s part of being human after all. But the struggle, anxiety, and burnout that so often come with these experiences are optional. Can I get an “Amen”?

In her new book – out today – called The Awesome Human Project: Break Free From Burnout, Struggle Less, and Thrive More in Work and Life, she teaches you how to create a more supportive relationship with yourself, with your thoughts and emotions, and with other people, so you can become the awesome human you’re meant to be.

408: How to Lead a Life of Significance by Embracing Your Trials with Warwick Fairfax

I have so much respect for today’s guest. Most people, especially at age 29, would have crumbled under the weight of losing control of their family’s one-hundred-fifty-year-old company.

warwick fairfax

Not Warwick Fairfax. Now, that’s not to say what he went through wasn’t incredibly difficult. It certainly was.

But Warwick is not your average guy. Now 30+ years removed from the crucible that situation was for him, he’s sharing what he learned about this process with the rest of us.

Before you think, “What do I possibly have in common with a man who once ran a $700MM company?”, let me ask you: Have you ever experienced an event that devastated you? I know I have. Several in fact.

What matters for those of us who find ourselves in that situation is how we choose to respond. Warwick’s new book, Crucible Leadership: Embrace Your Trials to Lead a Life of Significance will show you the way.
