Welcome to our Weekly Solopreneur Coaching Session!

Hey everybody welcome to the 252nd edition of The Solopreneur Hour. We’re gathered here today for our weekly Solopreneur Coaching Q&A show. This show is special, because I recorded it LIVE with the Periscope App on Wednesday, and took questions right from the viewers.  It was fun, and we’ll do it again.

If you haven’t listened to one of these episodes before this is YOUR chance to ask questions and get my answers. Ask whatever you want, any topic you want: bring it on!

Sit back, relax and enjoy today’s episode of The Solopreneur Hour.

Thom Singer

Q: How can a solopreneur get more money fast?

A: Teach something you already know! Get a steady group of clients, really nail what it is you’re doing, create a course based on what you’ve taught those clients and then put it out in the world.

Rico Sutton

Q: To license your business for royalties or not?

A: Depends on the business and whether or not you think the idea has mass appeal and if you want to handle the infrastructure of your product.

Shana Edgecombe

Q: The process of getting organized and handling everything as a solopreneur.

A: Getting Solopreneur Coaching can be tough.! I’m doing it myself and it’s easy to fall into superhero syndrome. While you can do it yourself, initially try the apps workflowy and trello. I like Mint, CapitolOne 360 and Evernote. Check out Chris Ducker’s Virtual Freedom book to help you choose what to outsource and the best way to do it.

Shariff Abdallah

Q: How does leadership effect ones decision to leave a Direct Selling company and start another? What have you experienced in the past when switching? Thanks! – I appreciate ya

A: I have a lot of experience with this. I’ve left a company and gone to another one, and the backlash was immense. I then spent the next 1.5 working with various companies helping them with their social media marketing. Depending on where you’re at you’ll have different scenarios you’ll face.

Travis Royboy Scanlan

Q: What track do you most want to take the Porsche to?

A: Laguna Seca in Monterey and Brands Hatch in London.

Q: Okay, business question from me: I’m having a perception problem with my photography/videography business. I give away so much content that it’s my opinion that most of the social media following I’ve amassed just thinks of me as a free content source.

I have trouble getting prospects to contact me to book shoots, I spend money on fb advertising with no return,
