“If you don't say yes to everything at some point, then you don't figure out what to say no to."
Rajiv Nathan and Martin McGovern are the founders of Idea Lemon, where they help young entrepreneurs and wantrapreneurs to achieve more freedom, creativity, control over their schedule, free time, “me” time,  opportunities, comfort and more travel.
I wanted to get these two on the show to continue our previous conversation around knowing whether you've "made it" when I was on their podcast. We talked about success and defining it for yourself. Our topic of conversation today: Is quitting essential for success? I recorded this more Idea Lemon style and it's a much more conversational episode vs. an interview.

#62: Founders of Idea Lemon - Is Quitting Essential For Success?

Jason Bay brings on successful Millennial entrepreneurs and businesspeople once each week to share their unique perspectives on business, life and their success. As a millennial, you'll get many useful tips and insights on leadership, personal branding, marketing, sales, personal development and entrepreneurship. The GenY Success Show is the ultimate resource for millennials aspiring to become entrepreneurs.

"I don't do ANYTHING that I can pay someone $5-$10/hour to do." This week, we're continuing with our monthly productivity series. In this episode, we dive into one of the most critical questions that we wrestle with each and every day — how do I create more time in my day? We talk about why understanding your hourly worth is critically important, how we use virtual assistants (VAs) to help us manage GenY Success, and how to hire your first VA. Next week, we'll tackle the third question in our monthly productivity series, "What do I do when I feel like I can't stop working?" We'll talk about why so many of us feel like we can't stop working, why we seem to expect more from ourselves than what we can actually deliver, and how we schedule "down time" each day/week/month in order to avoid burnout.

LS #2: How Do I Create More Time In My Day?

"When you are in a flow state, you ARE creative." Ben Austin is the founder of Stop.Start.Do. and teaches you how to be a peak performing leader by mastering your success habits. His friends call him the illegitimate love child of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bill Nye. I wanted to get Ben back on the show because the guy knows quite a bit about "flow states." More importantly, he understands how flow states impact productivity better than most folks. Last time Ben joined the show, we talked about the habits of the world's top leaders. This time, we discuss how reaching "flow" can drastically improve your productivity, why reaching a flow state is a conscious, fundamental activity, and why reaching a flow state is all about living in the present.

#97: Using "Flow States" To Create More Time In Your Day w/ Ben Austin

In this episode, we share our first "behind the scenes" look at where we're headed with GenY Success. All sorts of new stuff happening! Plus, Jason's getting ready for a big move. And WTF is John doing in Colombia?

BTS #1: What's Going On At GenY Success?

"I knew if I put it out there, I'd be forced to do it." Chandler Bolt is the author of five best-selling books including his most recent book titled,  “Book Launch”. He’s also the founder & CEO of Self-Publishing School, the #1 online resource for writing your first book. Through his books, training videos, and Self-Publishing School, he’s helped thousands of people on their journey toward writing their first book. I wanted to get Chandler back on the show because his business, Self-Publishing School, has absolutely blown up over the past year! Since the last time Chandler was on the show, his business crossed the million-dollar mark. He recently became the sole owner of Self-Publishing School, and he's now on track to bring in more than $4 million dollars this year. Yet, he still struggles with Imposter Syndrome. Chandler shares the two things he struggles with every, single day, and also shares what he's learned after dropping out of school, starting his own business, and running a multi-million dollar business.

#96: Staying Focused & Overcoming Imposter Syndrome w/ Chandler Bolt

"Selling products on Amazon has become a great starting point for building a business."
Kiri Masters started Bobsled Marketing, an agency that helps brands launch their products on Amazon. At the age of 28, she quit her job as a commercial banker to start the company. Now, she and her team have launched over 100 products on Amazon, ranging from drones, to pillows, to gun holster belts.
I wanted to get Kiri on the show because, as she says, "being an employee isn't a bad thing." Kiri worked in the banking industry for years before she started her own business, and she picked up some invaluable skills along the way. We talk about how to be a more productive employee, how to manage your manager, and how working for someone else prepares you for entrepreneurship. And, of course, Kiri talks about some of the ways you can get started selling products on Amazon!Show Notes: GenYSuccess.com/93
