Build a Badass Business with Diane Sanfilippo

1. What's burning? 2. If you don't have a list of ideas, where do I even start? What are the top 10 questions you get? What problems are you solving for your customers? 3. Focus on giving more than asking. When 40 hours a week in your new business isn't cutting it. Hat tip to #askgaryvee Gary Vaynerchuck "Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook." 4. Doubt means don't.

In this episode, I get into details on some tips I have for focusing (in terms of the big-picture/what to do first/getting yourself started, not day-to-day tasks). 1. Take money out of the equation. 2. Get your home-based business out of the house. 3. Just work for one hour (at a time). 4. The 80/20 rule. 5. Have Happy Projects.

Judgement, criticism, and expectations. Struggling with the "who am I to....?" issues. Getting past the fear, and a fantastic quote from Marianne Williamson that I want you to listen to over and over again.

In this episode I talk about my own thoughts on why I didn't let other people's fears direct my path.

I want you to ask yourself some hard questions: When/where were you told you couldn't do something?Where does your fear come from? Why are you worried?Who are the people who are influencing you to be afraid?What are they doing in their lives?What are you choosing to either contribute to releasing you from fear, or not?What is your worst case scenario?

Just hearing the word marketing sends some people for the hills. Yes, even entrepreneurs. I want you to embrace marketing by changing the way you think about it - starting with understanding what it truly is.
