The Do What Is Necessary Podcast

Become the entrepreneur you've always wanted to be! Put your money on yourself! 

Excuse my passion, but there are far too many wonderfully bright people who are content with their current situation, aka a job, because they are afraid to risk it all. Don't be the one that gets caught in the middle of success! 

I have no ill will toward those who work. However, that should not be your sole focus and effort on a daily basis. You must have a side business, something you are enthusiastic about, and something you are growing for yourself. 

Enough is enough with placing your entire destiny in the hands of others. Betting on oneself is the quickest road to success. Period! So, here are five methods to go about it... 

Underdogs, by definition, finish second — a position no one likes to claim.  No one really wants to be in second place. But being the underdog is to me, I think it's a strategic advantage. And today I want to talk about why I think that's the case.

For many years, I mistakenly assumed that because I'd spent the majority of my professional life building companies, conducting sales meetings, and speaking engagements, I was an extrovert. I didn't understand why I needed full recovery days of silence after delivering training courses or a day full of  meetings until I realized I was a true introvert trying to pass myself off as an extrovert.

Today, it's not uncommon for me to plan my leaving so that I don't get inundated with party invitations. To protect my energy, I've learned to set kind boundaries and not apologize for being myself. Nothing makes me happier than snuggling up with a blanket, reading, writing, or watching a TV show with my family. In fact, I've discovered that the more time I set aside for self-reflection, the more present and effective I can be in people-oriented events.

I wish I had learned this sooner.

As a culture, we've come to believe that when building a business bigger is always better. More revenue, more employees, more followers, more square feet, more locations. Those are the metrics that impress people, but can this relentless pursuit of more backfire?
 
Today I want to talk about why staying small is the next big thing for business, why I think it's time to rethink growth as the status quo, how social media has changed the way we think about success and the three questions you should ask yourself before working towards any goal.

1:30 - MORE ISN'T ALWAYS BETTER
4:09 - 3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF
5:35 - HOW SOCIAL MEDIA HAS CHANGED OUR VIEW OF SUCCESS
7:07 - ACQUISITION/GROWTH VS. RETENTION

We've gotten sidetracked somewhere along the route. Perhaps we don't understand how much our daily rituals, favorite devices and apps, and where we focus our attention have an impact on us. As my compulsive relationship with distractions reached a breaking point, I needed a way to hold up a mirror and reveal a new me.

We think we can multitask because it's normal. It's what we do every day - text and walk, Facebook/Insta and drive, email and surf while in meetings, check our phones while reading and studying. But with all this multitasking, are we actually learning to work more efficiently? On this week's show, we'll talk about my battle with this addiction to distraction, and how it nearly wrecked the life I am trying to create.

Who is in control of your fate? Is it possible that it's your devices? If you can't go more than a few minutes without checking your phone, or if you're prone to other addictions, you definitely want to check out this show.

The hustle started as a beacon for me when I was 8 years old.  Coming from humble beginnings, hustling meant trying to outwork and outsmart those who had more than I did.  But now, hustle has become synonymous with grinding 24/7 at the expense of health, relationships and legacy. 

It's no surprise that individuals are working longer hours, sooner and later in the day, on weekends, and whenever they have free time. People are no longer able to complete tasks at work.  If you run a business, it's even worse because you wear so many hats that it becomes a never ending battle.

Worse, for many people these days, working long hours, being overly occupied, and sleeping little has become a badge of honor. Sustained tiredness is a sign of stupidity, not a badge of honor. Companies who push their employees into this deal are cooking up something stupid at the expense of their workers.

Many folks are ending up broken, wasted, and burned out with nothing to show for it.  And for what?

It's time we stop the hustlemania!!

We've all been there: you set out to start a business out of passion, and it soon turns into growth at all costs. Work takes precedence over everything else in your life, causing everything else to go by the wayside.

Suddenly, you're working 12, 14, 18 hours a day, responding to emails from home at all hours of the night, and battling the million to-dos going through your mind in order to get a few hours of sleep. You get your exercise by dashing between your desk and the printer, and you can't recall the last time you ate food that wasn't packaged.

"Work-life balance–what the heck is that?" you might wonder.

Stressful periods at work may be unavoidable, and while they may be bearable in the short term, they can lead to exhaustion and burnout if you don't take steps to keep the stress under control.

On this episode, I unpack the 2 biggest causes of this toxic mindset, and what I did to deal with my own bout of exhaustion and burnout.

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.

Listen in as I share all the mistakes I’ve made and, more importantly, what I’ve learned from them, with no fluff, and no rose-colored glasses. The Do What Is Necessary Podcast is a show where we cut through the toxic hustle and grind mindset and dig into what it actually takes to start and grow a “calm business”.  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’ll be giving unfiltered advice every week, 10 minutes per episode each. I want you to walk away from this podcast with the mindset and tools you need to be successful.

This podcast is for entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and busy professionals with a short attention span (like me)—you’ll get quick-hitting, actionable information in every single episode. If you give me your time, I promise it won't be wasted. Now let's get to work!
