Today's Friday Q & A on The Solopreneur Hour is brought to you by Godaddy, and by my buddy Nick Unsworth.  I'm grateful they sponsored the show and I'm grateful to all of you for sending in your questions. There'd be no A's without your Q's so thanks for chiming in!

I always love these Friday Q & A shows, and today is no exception. Let's jump right in to episode 168 and hear what you asked, and what I answered.

 

More About This Show

* Jessica Rhodes

Someone asked me this today and thought it was great so I'll ask you. Michael, what in your business are you most proud of?

* Kathleen Kelly

This is Kathy from the Special Mouse Podcast. I'm collaborating on a paid webinar with another person as a "beta test" for a potential business idea. Neither of us own a business, however, we each have our own websites. How do you recommend we proceed? I'm leaning toward using Lead Pages and developing a splash page for the webinar. Thanks, Michael!

* David Ralph

Here is a question for you.....how do you know in business if you should deviate from the values you set yourself when starting. You start with saying you wont do something and then get offered a lot of money....do you a; take the money and feel cheap b: stay true to yourself and allow the cash to pass you by

* Van Shumake Jr.

I have an idea for a 2nd podcast. Although I am new in the podcasting world, I have multiple passions. The initial show is one but I want to build another show but not:

A - blend the shows together

B-  NOT become generic in the way the show is (not sounding like the other show)

What I'm saying in a longer question is.....

Do I build out, running 2 shows simultaneously? Or do I do 1 and keep that "niche-focused"?

* Scott W. Mulvaney

Where do you put your $ first when you are in a startup/tight budget, like in an entrepreneur's phase 1? This is relating to building your online brand and presence. You've mentioned doing FB ads and such. Plus you've done a great job with helping us understand the value of clarifying your "brand" before investing too much in logo design such. However you and other entrepreneurs have mentioned how an initial brand morphs and changes quite often in the early stages as you build the audience and learn more. So in summary, I'm just looking for your best practices when you are helping people envision the average first 3 steps for tight budget investment.

* Brian Lofrumento

I'm launching my podcast on 12/1 about successful and inspiring entrepreneurs' journeys and more importantly how they overcame the fears and pseudo-barriers that the other 99% let stand in their way. John Lee Dumas is already lined up as a guest, among others. Are you in? I'll tune in on Friday to find out!

* Brent Danis

In your last episode you briefly touched on the importance of a FB group, I couldn't agree more as I see how engaging your two groups are. I will be driving everyone in my target market to my group. Why do FB groups seem to get more engagement than business pages?

 

* Sue Faunt

If you could switch bodies with someone for a day, living, dead or fictional, who would it be?

* John Gregory

Are there any "big rocks" you're currently unable to fit in your jar?

* Lara Loest

All right I'll kick it off. If you could witness one famous event from history, what would it be and why?

* Timothy Dwight Moser

Beyond the simple F.O.R.M. topics, what is a really good subject to start a conversation with a cool person you've just met, right out of the gate? (It's often easy to kick off a conversation based on something in the environment, e.g. someone who just walked by, some sort of smell in the air, or even (please no) the weather, but are there any other stock openers e.g.
