Hello and welcome to Pocket Thoughts! Today is March 18th and we have a great episode planned for you guys today. Brady won’t be on today’s show, so it will just be Bobby, Joey, and I. The day we recorded this episode was the day that Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp were shut down for over 6 hours so our first question is focused on that. Hypothetically if those apps were shut down for a month how would you go about marketing your business?
Our second question is what do you think one major aspect of business an entrepreneur should have knowledge on when starting a business? We then dive into an Educating Entrepreneur related question and talk about how Educating Entrepreneurs differentiates from other courses in our personal opinion and where we see Educating Entrepreneurs in 10 years.
Our third question we asked was, since we first started thinking about being an entrepreneur, how have our goals and motivation changed over time. And the final question for todays episode we each give our own definition of an what entrepreneur really is.
Thank you everyone for listening! Stay up to date with everything Educating Entrepreneur related on social media and don’t be afraid to reach out, enjoy the week!

50 min - Episode 16 - Thank You For Your Honesty
Happy Monday everyone! Thank you for taking time out of your day to listen to Pocket Thoughts. On today’s episode we get very honest and real with each other by asking the question of what is one characteristic, trait, and as Bobby would say one little Hebejeebie that concerns us about going into business with each other? This also leads us into talking about potentially having the conversation about what would happen if one of us were to be dragging the company down and what we would do about that. This may be a tough conversation for most people to have, especially with their friends, but it is extremely beneficial and I suggest everyone do it. Please don’t forget to follow us on all of our social media by searching Educating Entrepreneurs. Enjoy the episode and have a great week!

- 11:21 - “What if, in the future, one of your friends is really dragging down the team?
- 16:09 - “You’ve pretty much solved my greatest fear because my greatest fear is not making sure someone is doing what’s best for them and what’s best for the company”
- 25:07 - “I personally think as an entrepreneur, you need to think that way and risk more if you want to get bigger returns and bigger rewards.
- 33:34 - “Do I choose to get 3 hours of sleep a night and perform at 70% on everything I do? Or do I get 5.5 hours of sleep and perform at 90%and focus on EE and that is one thing I’ve been scared about since the beginning”
