Welcome solopreneurs! We’re here with another awesome Q&A session. Thank you all for sending in your questions. Joining me to answer them is my brother from another mother, Dr. Mark Costes.

On today’s show we chat about setting goals for the new year, how to choose a coach and then we get to your questions. Thanks for being here for episode 207 of The Solopreneur Hour.

More About This Show

For those of you who haven’t tuned in previously we do a question and answer session on Fridays. Come over to the Facebook group (you can find it here) and look for my post on Thursdays, leave your question in the comments section and I’ll answer it when I record Friday’s show.

And with that, here are the questions you asked this week!

Steven Stromick

Michael you once said you had a great idea for the yoga niche, my wife is a yoga instructor, would love to hear your idea

Steven Crutchfield

Number one thing you wish you had done when you first started your podcast? In other words, is there something you would have done differently from the start.

Callum Rankine

Can you recommend a good guide on how to interview people? Also when is Life After 8 Weeks opening up again? Thank you.

Brad Brown

Hey Michael, Merry Christmas dude. One of my goals for 2015 is to work on my business more than working in my business. In order to do that I need to outsource a lot of what I am currently doing. How would you go about doing that if that were one of your goals. I’m stuck in the ‘no one can do it like I can’ mindset. How would you recommend overcoming that.

Dave @ Fresh Rag

@solohour that’s my question for the next show. What are your updated thoughts on this new territory we are entering?

Jackie Smith

I have a question Michael O’Neal. So many people online get into coaching. I hired a coach years ago over ten, and after 3 phone calls I realized bad investment. I feel that too many online people get into coaching for the money and truly are not qualified to do so? What’s your thought on this, and what are 5 things you would advise to choose the right coach. And before you ask,,,, Yes I’m coachable! LOL

Thom Singer

What is your take on how a solopreneur can upscale a successful business?

Ozeal DeBastos

What’s been the biggest lesson you’ve learned in 2014?

Jace Jacobs Wazzzupp Brother? I just wanted to chime in and wish you and the Proudly Unemployable group Happy Holidays. You are very much appreciated and I’m grateful to have you as an influence. Cheers

Rey Brown

You’ve had your “Sexy 6” for a while now. If you were to revamp those what six would take over…. *Product Alert* “Life After The Sexy 6”: You’ve read the books, your landscape has changed, now what!… You’re welcome lol.

Jonathan Wilson

A show suggestion. Bring back JJ collier for another show. I just listened to that one. Very helpful. Any other tips for wardrobe essentials?

Marcus A. Cylar

I’d like to clarify what I asked last week, if I may. I fully understand the importance of list-building to safeguard against potential sudden changes in Facebook’s algorithms or policies.

My question for you specifically is how/where would you rebuild this particular Proudly Unemployable group if Facebook shut down its group functionality tomorrow? What platform would you use? What about for the private group you have for Sololab?

It seems every other community-building platform on the market, except perhaps Google+, which the masses still haven’t adopted,
