EPISODE 39: 

 

In this episode, I talk to Derek Sivers, founder of CD Baby, an online independent music retailer that was started in the late 90’s. Here’s what we talk about:

    •        Why his business CD Baby took off and became wildly successful, while his six earlier businesses didn’t.
    •        Some of the biggest challenges he faced while growing CD Baby (one of which he’s never written about before).
    •        When to quit your business and start doing something else.
    •        Why he gave away all of the business’ sale proceeds ($22 million) to charity.
    •        What he does to plough through some of the boring tasks in his business even when he doesn’t ‘feel like doing them.’
    •        The two best books you can read if you’re looking to become a solopreneur (one person business).
    •        And lots more…
