The Be Your Own Boss (BYOB) Podcast

Entrepreneurs need to think like a grandmaster.

So how do you do that?

There are 4 key principles in chess that you can apply in your business as an entrepreneur.

1. Developing your pieces in very active squares - this means looking at your forces and make sure that they are all active. It could be your social media, paid advertising, email marketing etc.

2. King safety - just like in Chess, you need to prioritize the safety of your business. Don't do anything that has the potential of ruining you or ruining your business.

3. Improve your worst place piece - optimize and improve your worst pieces of your business.

4. Think in terms of scenarios and possibilities - Don't just pick one path and go down it think in terms of multiple paths.

When I first became an entrepreneur, I wanted to offload as much work as possible to other people. I didn't have a hands-on approach— and I didn't know what my staff was doing.

As a result, I started to encounter different problems in my business.

As an entrepreneur, you need to understand ALL the aspects of your business. You need to understand how these different things are done, why they're being done, and how they fit into your brand's overall strategy.

My wife Blake and I create content in pretty much every form you can think of. A lot of people have asked us how we are able to make so much content.

The truth is that we don't really create new content every time.

Do you want to know the secret? We take one piece of content— and we find a way to chop it up, dissect it, repurpose it into many different ways— and then share that content across different platforms and channels.

Repurposing and reusing content is a fantastic strategy for entrepreneurs, especially those of you out there who are looking to build a personal brand or a brand for your business.

Tune in to this episode and learn how it is done.

We often discuss the benefits of entrepreneurship, but the truth is that there are also a lot of challenges, struggles, and failures in the life of an entrepreneur that a lot of people don't talk about.

So today, let's explore the other side of the story— the five reasons why you SHOULDN'T be an entrepreneur.

As we go through these five things, try to reflect on them and justify why these things don't apply to you. And if you can counter all five of these points, then chances are, entrepreneurship might be a good fit for you.

Do people consider you loud, bossy, or overly self-promotional?

You are an incredible candidate to be an entrepreneur.

Being loud and bossy means that you have opinions, you're decisive, and you've got a lot of energy to give. It means you are mindful and deliberate about promoting yourself — and you are not afraid to ask for more.

There's a general perception that if you start something, you should be able to see it through, never give up and never quit.

But sometimes, things don't go your way. I've quit numerous full-time jobs and I also left several start-ups that I helped create. It requires both self-awareness and courage to admit when something isn't working.

Quitting is ok but make sure you are doing it for the right reasons.

I have seven mantras for you that I personally use every single day to triumph over extremely challenging circumstances.
