Tom and Ty talk about what they mean when they refer to "bootstrapping," and why they think it's the most effective and safest way to get a service-based business off the ground.

Don't let excuses keep you from starting the business you've always dreamed about -- or even just one that can get you to the next step in your journey. Recognize those excuses for what they are, then kill them and get on with your fantastic plans. That's what Tom and Ty talk about in today's episode.

For the first interview of Season 2, Tom and Ty talk with Daniel Harada, owner and operator of Frontier Pest Solutions. Daniel's a 28-year-old go-getter who started out working for a pest control company in Oregon, then moved back home to Wyoming and worked for a pest control company here for a short while, then struck out on his own.

Tom and Ty talk about what the price is for running your own business -- not the financial price, but the cost of what you have to give up to succeed.

This episode is the final installment of The Son of a Poor Man Podcast's first year on the internet airwaves. It's the 104th episode of Season 1, and Tom, Brian and Ty sat down to talk about some of the issues they've tackled in the past year, toss around some ideas for what to cover in the next year, and a whole bunch of other stuff that's completely off-topic but interesting nonetheless.

And as an added bonus -- :( -- the phantom buzz shows up a couple of times just to make Ty have to work really hard to try (and fail) to get rid of it.

Both Tom and Ty were sick last week, and it got them thinking that it might be good to talk about what you do about your business if you can't go to work. You need to have a plan in the event you can't go to work for a week or so.

Well, Ty was out sick on Tuesday, and now it's Tom's turn to be under the weather. Ty steps in to cover for Tom, and he interviews his sister, who is a veterinarian in Riverton. She talks about what she does to keep her employees happy, and she has some great advice for business owners to find grants and other assistance programs to avoid racking up debt.
