Welcome to the 186th edition of The Solopreneur Hour! Here we are again at another Friday Q&A session. These are super fun shows where you send your questions to me on our Facebook group and I answer them on the show.

Today we're talking about finishing strong in 2014, getting into auto racing and a number of other questions. Listen in and join us for today's episode of The Solopreneur Hour.

More About This Show

Lara Loest 

I just heard this one yesterday while doing the show notes for Andrea Owen (yep I name-dropped): would you rather wear clown clothing for the rest of your life or clown makeup?!

Dwain Scott 

Do you really think Little Debbie Zebra cakes are the best snack ever ? What about the Twinkie or ding dong and its foil wrapper?

Flip Aguilera 

I don't so much have questions yet. I'm just searching for direction. At the moment I'm trying to figure out building my email marketing.

David Ralph 

This is for a newbie but worth answering...it is so important to make worthwhile connections when starting off an idea or business (like you did with JLD and I did with yourself) for encouragement support or just to feel connected. Would you change the method of how you connected with people in the early days compared to now? Are there better ways to do this?

Jonny Keeley 

What are your top 3 mentors and how have they helped you in your solopreneur journey? Also thanks for all you do.

Jason Thompson 

What is the best bang for the buck for someone wanting to get into auto racing? How to find events locally?

Jace Jacobs 

What are your thoughts on using Interns to help out with podcast production? As a newbie it's something I'm looking into as a way of helping get stuff done but also a way to help an intern get production experience.

P.S. Shout out to IsaLab! Wazzuppp

Hope I'm not too late. What are your thoughts on purging your list? I have one list that I'm not getting great results with. Is it worth, over a few weeks, getting people to opt in again by clicking on a specific link in the weekly mail I send them to re opt in. If they don't, they're gone and won't hear from me again.

Demetrio Flores 

I hope I'm not late! It's my first time launching an online business and I'm trying to figure out how to receive payments and what bank accounts I need to setup my website to. The bank needs me to sign up my online business with the city and get a tax ID before opening a business account but is it necessary? Can I just have all the payments go into a separate personal account?

Second, what are the best methods of receiving payments? Should I go with Paypal and/or just take credit cards and debit cards?

Timothy Dwight Moser

How do you currently handle your email? How much email do you get, and how much time do you spend on it?

Rey Brown

My wife's birthday was yesterday and she didn't enjoy it at all. I tried almost every trick in the bag to cheer her up. Her grandmother passed a few months and they were as close as ever. What was your first birthday like after your parents passed, did you sit all day waiting on that phone call that you knew deep down inside would never happen (as my wife did yesterday)? Sorry to take you back to a dark painful place.

Brian Kessler

Do you have an activity or place that you like to go when you need to get creative or solve a problem?

And do you find it difficult to keep your friendships and business relationships separate?
