Is your website bringing you business? Are people finding you on google? Is your social media driving traffic and winning customers? When you are a solo-preneur you only have so much time and energy and you have to choose where to focus to create the most impact possible. In this episode Henry from Rebel Business School helps Christina think through her business Digital life and where to focus next.
When you start your business you are probably going to have competition. There is probably going to be people that already do what you do. Some of this competition is going to react to your launch from a place of fear. They may attack you and your business, they may try and stop you. The question is not if this will happen, but how are you going to respond when it does?? In today’s episode BC Kowalski and Alan talk competition, strategies for dealing with it, and positivity.
You’ve won your first client! YAY. Should you send them a contract? Do you need terms and conditions? In this episode Christina and Alan talk through contracts, why you need them, and what goes in them. Contracts are designed to facilitate clear communication, expectations, and trust, but somewhere along the way we have lost sight of the purpose of having a contract. Let’s make contracts fun.
Who do you surround yourself with? How do you work with your partner? Business or otherwise? Who you spend most of your time with directly affects your beliefs, attitude, and therefor your actions. In this episode of Rebel Entrepreneur, Stephen Peyton is taking over and grilling Alan with questions about his key relationships, how he works with others, and his mental diet. Alan ends up talking about the voices in his head and we find out if he is actually mad or not?!?
How do you use Linkedn to win business? Patrick Venn has a new strategy to share with us and Christina has offered to be the guinea pig! So let’s get testing.

Listen along and we will show you the step by step guide to using LinkedIn to find sales leads.
What do you do when you have too many ideas? How do you choose which idea to focus on? Are you telling me I have to pick one idea and stick with it for the rest of my life? In this Episode, Stephen Lockyer of Escapages takeovers the Rebel Entrepreneur podcast and asks Alan all about creativity, choosing ideas, running mini-experiments, and letting go of ideas when they don’t work.
How do people find your business? How do you get discovered? Google My Business is one of the most under utilized and powerful tools in an entrepreneurs arsenal. If you want to be found, get a pin on the map, develop your account, and work to promote your business. Let’s get you on Google My Business and started.
You have these HUGE ideas. You want to launch it but the sheer size scares you! How are you going to get it all done? How are you going to make it work? You’ve got kids and how do you fit this huge project around them? In this episode we refine the idea of the mini-experiment, we look at launching quickly, and making the best of the precious time you have. Join this week’s host Sherry Zeisel as she grills Alan on mini-experiments, marketing, and building a business around family responsibilities.

About Rebel Entrepreneur
From the publisher's feed
To be an entrepreneur you have to be a little bit of a Rebel. You have to do things differently, you have to take risks other people aren't willing to take and you need to be brave enough to take action.
For years Alan Donegan has battled against the traditional plan that the world has for us:
When Alan went for help from the British Government to start a business. They told him to write a business plan; get a load of debt and did more to put him off starting than they did to help.
Alan spent the next 12 years of his life thinking, studying, learning about business and searching for a better way to start-up without debt.
This search enabled him to create his own successful training business and then to take those skills and launch PopUp Business School which now operates in 5 different countries around the world and helps thousands of people a year to build businesses without debt.
The belief that it takes money to make money traps people around the world from ever taking control of their future and making their own money. This is the belief that he wants to fundamentally destroy with this podcast and empower you to get going debt free!
What is the purpose of this podcast?
"This is an effort to put out into the world the support I wish I had when I was starting my business. I want to do what I felt the British Government was never able to do and that is to help people start-up without debt and make money doing something they love.
If you need help with your business, motivation, inspiration and energy then this podcast is for you. Join The Rebellion"
