Do The Thing

What if instead of letting a business owner pay your commission, you were the owner? All entrepreneurs want to do the thing on their own terms, but many give up after a single failure.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Richard Potter, the brains behind FBA Wholesale Hybrid, about his ability to start and scale successful businesses out of seemingly thin air. But the road to building a multimillion-dollar venture wasn't always a smooth ride. Here's how a $9,500 disaster gave Richard the momentum to build several successful businesses in just a few years and why he won't stop doing the thing any time soon. 

Entrepreneurs understand the value of hard work, but working 24/7 doesn't always equal success. What habits do you need to ensure your daily grind is rewarding and fruitful?

I got personal with Deb Sherman, the skilled CEO of JackTracy Marketing, to reveal the answer. This former investigative reporter has a passion for digging deep, crunching the numbers, and following the paper trail. Never afraid to uncover the truth, she discovered some of the toughest questions actually came from within herself. Here's how staying curious, prepared, and organized helped Deb best serve her audience and, perhaps most importantly of all, be a present mom. 

It takes dedication and the right mindset to leave a cushy job, do the thing, and become your own CEO. But what if you had to come to terms with losing it all in the process?

I got personal with Alex Brzozowski, the inspirational owner of Be Organizing, about overcoming her own anxieties and obstacles to do the thing. Starting an organizational company was always her dream, but would a scarcity mindset keep her from moving forward?

Here's how she walked away from a career, became a business owner, navigated a pandemic, and survived the most challenging time in her life without ever removing the blinders.Learn more about Alex and her digital organizing company at https://beorganizing.com 

Every entrepreneur has an itch to spread their wings and do something on their own. But what if that something involves paddle boards and puppies?

I had the honor of chatting with Sam, the mastermind behind SUP Pups, about dropping everything to open a business in a super-niche industry. Dogs and the water have always brought her tremendous joy. But would combining her two loves in life during a pandemic go as planned?

Here's how she overcame waves, did the thing, and paddled her way to near-instant success in this dog-eat-dog world, changing other people's lives along the way.Learn about Sam and SUP Pups. https://suppups.com 

Fear is a crippling mindset and keeps some of the most innovative entrepreneurs from ever making it to launch day. What can you do when fear grabs you by the wrists? 

I chatted with Adam Webber, the genius behind CallCast, and discovered how a podcast about fear helped him uncover his personal trepidations. He designed a ground-breaking product. But would a deep-rooted fear of judgment keep him from actually doing the thing? 

Here's how a self-imposed, extreme 365-day podcast challenge gave him permission to get out of his own way and just do the thing. In this episode, we talk about these points of the Do The Thing formula: Having a big "Why" Keeping it simple Accountability and community Asking for help Adopting a beginner mindset.
