February 22, 2018 How Can I Grow My Audience When I've Done All I Can?
I’m talking to Sam today, from Byte-by-Byte.com. He helps software engineers interview for jobs (like Google, Facebook, etc). He’s testing his new course right now, and he’s a little burnt out. He’s doing pretty much everything himself and wants to focus on building his audience next. He feels like the best thing he can do to improve is to grow his audience, but he feels like he’s hit a barrier and is trying to figure out where to go next. How can he grow his audience to the next level? Check out Sam’s coaching and courses at Byte-by-Byte.com.

February 15, 2018 What One Thing Should I Focus On?
Today’s coaching call is with Jackie Bolen, who needs to make a big decision but doesn’t quite know how. Jackie is a blogger and writer who teaches ESL (English as a Second Language). She was an ESL teacher in South Korea for ten years, started blogging, and fell into the online business world.

With thirty books, three websites, and several Amazon affiliate sites, she feels she needs to pick one thing and focus on it. How does she choose? Check out Jackie on the web at JackieBolen.com.

Welcome to the first episode of AskPat 2.0! To recap, in case you missed Episode 1000, going forward the episodes of AskPat will be much more than a single answer to a single question. Instead they’ll be a live, one on one coaching session! Through this process, you’re going to learn so much more in terms of how to discover the problems in your own business so you can tackle them head on.

November 20, 2017 What’s Next for AskPat?
Today is a very special episode, and an important announcement!
Since February of 2014, I’ve been answering questions five days a week here on AskPat. It’s been an amazing journey—999 questions answered and 4,000 questions submitted from listeners. To everyone who’s been listening and asking questions, thank you!
Recently, I’ve noticed that I’ve been wanting more. I’ve been wanting to ask questions back, to have real conversations with the people asking questions. I want to get at the root of a lot of these problems—the mental aspects of becoming an entrepreneur, for example.
Today, I’m so excited to reveal what’s coming up next: AskPat 2.0!
