  • 32: Breaking Free - Escaping the Stranglehold of Entrepreneurship

    🎬 This week's episode was inspired by a call I was on this week. I was talking with a good friend who sold his IT business like me. He started a new company, but is finding himself TRAPPED....AGAIN!!!! His new business has the same choke hold that his IT business had on him. That was one of biggest reasons he sold it. Now he doesn't know what to do. 

    He's working nearly 7 days a week with staff now in 5-6 time zones. He's crushed by the weight of managing all of this NOW while raising 3 kids.

    If any of this sounds familiar: please know that you have a CHOICE. Break free from the choke hold by taking control. The flip side is a super scary place!!!!

    WHO IS ANDREW MOON, aka the Orange Nomad 🍊 ⏬❓ 

    I’m a lifelong entrepreneur who has launched and run several successful businesses of my own since age 8. After running a successful technology company (aka #MSP) of my own for 10 years, which I sold in 2014, I founded Orange Nomad to help MSPs, small businesses and entrepreneurs bridge the gap between strategy and execution. 

    I love helping the ’underdog.’ I’ve built my business from nothing and know how hard it can be to start and grow a business when you’ve got no money, no help and the world on your shoulders. I help small businesses like ourselves: members of the Fortune 5,000,000. With the Fortune 5,000,000 we have a real shot at making a real impact. That's more satisfying work. I’m proud to help my clients learn how to build a "calm company". Calm is family first. Calm is more independence. Calm is sustainable practices for the long term. Calm is joyful. Running a calm company is a choice.

    I've completed a lot of projects in my life. I wrote a book, I've launched several courses, I've traveled around. Started a family. 

    So I've learned a lot about how to finish what I start, but for this podcast, I'm gonna throw all of that out the window. 

    Here are the top eight most effective ways to self-sabotage your efforts.

    If you follow these steps closely, I can guarantee you will stall out your projects. 

    You'll spin your wheels and wonder what the heck you have to show after days or weeks or even months of hard work.

    I’d like to share my top ways to self-sabotage your life, if you put them into practice.

  • 29: Stop Setting Goals! Do this instead.

    Are you tired of constantly setting and chasing after goals, only to feel like you're running in place or falling short? 

    If so, it may be time to consider a different approach. 

    Instead of focusing on specific outcomes, try creating systems to guide your actions and progress.

    Systems are a powerful tool for achieving success and reaching your potential. 

    They provide a framework for consistent action and adaptation, and can help you build the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a variety of situations. 

    By establishing a set of habits and practices to follow, you can create a path to long-term success and fulfillment.

    In this episode, I'll explore the top five reasons why it's better to create systems instead of goals.

    I’d like to share a few techniques that will help, if you put them into practice.

About The Do What Is Necessary Podcast

From the publisher's feed

Let's be honest: building a company from nothing is incredibly hard. It has been for me. I started my entrepreneurial journey at age 8. Yep, you read that right....8! Since then, I've started, run and sold multiple businesses with no partners and no funding. All my life I've had to build something from nothing, and that's what I've gotten really great at - tenacious, creative and extremely smart strategy coupled with hard work. Welcome to The Do What Is Necessary podcast—I’m your host, Andrew Moon.
