Petra Fuerst ~ Founder of Liebe Stipps

~ Current Series ~

I am always impressed with people that have an idea that crosses their mind, and just simply make the decision to make it happen.  This is really the process every entrepreneur goes through. Idea -> Work -> Result -> Try Again -> Success….or something like that!  Today, we are joined by Petra Fuerst. Petra is the founder of LiebeStipps.com a 7-figure German-based coaching business.

During the podcast, Petra shares with us the process of being a single mother, deciding to start a business and how she went from $35,000 in year one to $1,000,000 in year seven.  Petra is a master working with NLP and hypnosis, using these methods on herself to reach success. She also used joint ventures and partnerships often to help her it the 7-figure mark.  She gives us some valuable tips on how to reach out to cold and warm influencers and create partnerships with them.

“There is a lot of money I lose if you only give me 6-months of commission. So I would never do a joint venture with someone who doesn’t give me lifetime commission!” Peter Fuerst

Welcome back to the show listeners we are glad you joined us!  Today, we are featuring a young entrepreneur that has had an incredible amount of success starting, launching, promoting and building her business with her three best friends from a startup in their apartment to a $3.2 million dollar company in less than three years. Chelsea Moore is the co-founder of BoxFox, a high-quality gifting company. BoxFox is now a team of thirteen women all in their twenties and one team mascot Eleanor their dog.

Two things that stand out for me with this company. One is obviously the growth.  BoxFox has had record-setting growth in their sales in just three short years. We chat today about how Chelsea and her partners made this happen. The other is company culture.  BoxFox focuses on creating a holistic culture where friendships are valued first over the business.

Dan Andrews Part II ~ Host of the Tropical MBA Podcast and Co-Founder of the Dynamite Circle

~ Current Series ~

Hello listeners we are so happy to have you here today, and I am so happy to give you a brief intro into a good friend and guest of the show Dan Andrews. Dan is the co-founder of one of the largest location independent communities called the Dynamite Circle.  The Dynamite Circle or DC as we call it is a private group of location independent entrepreneurs. The organization also hosts two key events each year called DCBKK and DCAustin. Both amazing conferences I would recommend checking out. Dan is also the co-founder of a business that became the #1 supplier for valet podium stands in the US.  

We brought Dan on the show today to discuss life post the sell of his business. He recently wrote a book titled ‘Before the Exit | Thought Experiments for Entrepreneurs’ where he takes the readers through a process of asking questions that are really important if you are going to exit or sell your business. Hindsight is 20/20 and he has a very interesting perspective on many reasons why he would not have sold his business knowing what he knows now.

“We thought, we have these five or six challenges with our business. It’s worth a lot. Why not just sell it?  Then those challenges will go away, and then they’ll be replaced by money!” Dan Andrews

03:06: What Would You Tell Your Younger Self About Exiting Your Business?

11:34: What are Dan’s and Chris’ Numbers?

17:59: Dan On the Insatiable Desire for More

22:05: How to See the Important Things Before You Sell
