Are you working IN your business or ON your business? 🤔
I just interviewed Michael E. Gerber, author of The E-Myth (voted #1 business book by Inc. 500 CEOs), and his insights completely transformed how I view entrepreneurship.
In our conversation, Michael revealed why 95% of businesses fail within 10 years — and it's not what you think. The problem? Most entrepreneurs are actually "technicians suffering from an entrepreneurial seizure."
Key revelation: Companies like 1-800-GOT-JUNK grew from one truck to $200M by implementing Michael's systems. Infusionsoft went from struggling startup to $100M+ using his "Dreaming Room" process. Ready to transform from self-employed to true business owner? Listen now. 🎧

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
