Entrepreneurs and Coffee

Today’s another special day because you get to hear behind the scenes a bit again.

In the next coffee chat, you’ll hear me talk a lot about self doubt and regret with an awesome freelancer and entrepreneur, Adam Clark of Irresistible Podcasting and The Gently Mad.

It got me thinking a lot about my own self-doubt and feelings of failure at times when my life is, truly, quite overwhelming.  I have 4 businesses if you include all of my web properties and the work to run and grow them, my career as an assistant principal, a group I help lead at my church, my extended family, my faith, Brazilian jiu jitsu, strength training, my wife and my son.  That’s a lot of different things pulling at my attention, requiring constant vigilance and progress.

I’ve had about a thousand cups of coffee already today so I’m going to talk super-fast.  We’re going to dive into the question here in a moment but I want to answer your question next week!  Go to BrendanHufford.com/ask OR go to entrepreneursandcoffee.com/ask.  So either try to figure out how to spell my confusing name or the word entrepreneur.  It’s actually like a quest.  I feel like the bridge keeper from Monthy Python.  Brendan, for sure start making the links easier for people.

Anyways, I really want to do more Q&A Friday episodes and I’d love to start doing them more than once a week.  If you don’t want to submit a voicemail on the site, just tweet me @brendanhufford on twitter.

Today’s question comes from Nico who, like me, is a side hustling maniac who owns a cleaning service that has turned into much much more.

BOOM!

Thank you for hanging out with me for a cup of coffee today. I am Brendan hufford and this is the entrepreneurs and coffee podcast.

We’ll chat about our guest in a moment but first I wanted to say thank you.

Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart for being a fan. Being a listener.

I took 2 weeks off from the show to make my first course. To make something amazing to help people start their first business.

And you’re still here.  You’re still listening.

That means the absolute world to me.  We’ll talk more about the course in a future episode but in the meantime, join our community which fans have named ‘The Breakfast Club’ over at brendanhufford.com/community.  If you want to chat with myself and other entrepreneurs about questions and problems you’re having in your business, without all of the self promotion you see in other facebook groups, check out brendanhufford.com/community.

So let’s talk super fast about our guest today, Jared Easely.

He co-hosts the Starve the Doubts podcast with Kimanzi Constable who was on episode 17 of entrepreneurs and coffee.

He also co-founded the awesome conference that I’ll be checking out this summer called Podcast Movement, along with my friends Pat Flynn from episode 35 and Omar Zenhom from the $100 MBA whose episode is going out later this month.  I can’t freaking wait for the event and if you’re a podcaster or thinking about starting one, there isn’t a better place to make friends than Podcast Movement.

We’ll talk about Starve the Doubts, Podcast Movement, and if I know Jared as well as I think I do, we’re probably going to go off on a few random tangents about entrepreneurship as well.

So grab your cup of coffee and let’s sit down with our guest, Jared Easley.

So today’s episode is a bit of a bonus episode.

I’ve been talking to you guys a lot lately in webinars and in email, twitter, and on Facebook.  Even in our facebook group that you can find over at brendanhufford.com/community

What is happening today my name is Brendan Hufford and you are listening to the entrepreneurs and coffee podcast.  I hope you have your coffee ready today because we’re going to talk about one of my favorite things in the world.

Action

Execution

Doing

Making

Serving

Whatever you want to call it.

Getting things done.

It’s the whole point of this show!

I have something I want you to take action on right now. Before you even dive into this episode.

You see, taking action is something everybody struggles with.  And that’s one of the big reasons I want to invite you to join me for a free LIVE webinar workshop over at brendanhufford.com/work.  I’ll be live teaching you 3 strategies to start or re-start your business.  Even if you have a business up and running, the 3 things I’ll share in the workshop will have an immediate, dramatic impact on the work you do.  Check out brendanhufford.com/work and I look forward to seeing you there!

I want to share my next project with you and I want you to join me for my free workshop. Check out brendanhufford.com/work

I am so freaking psyched for today’s interview but before we get to that. Where the heck have I been?

You didn’t have an episode all last week because I’ve been working on something big. Something really big.

And that’s my first product to support you.  It’s the product that I wish I had when I started at a price that I could have actually afforded back then.  It’s a roadmap to start your side business and the only place you can learn more about it is through an awesome workshop I’m doing a few times in the next weeks called ‘The Art of the Start.’  You can regiaster for the free workshop at brendanhufford.com/work
