Today on The Lively Show we have one of our first repeat guests, Pat Flynn, of the Smart Passive Income podcast.  

I’ve been a HUGE fan of Pat and his show for years now, and today we’re diving into a topic he hasn’t shared much about: the creative and entrepreneurial mindsets he’s deliberately exposing his children to as they develop.

In addition, we’re also discussing the topic of his new book, Will It Fly?, which addresses ways that we can validate and test potential business ideas to determine whether they would be financially successful before we invest a lot of our time and money.

This episode is perfect for anyone who is interested in ways to expose children to a creative or entrepreneurial mindset, or is interested in learning about how to test business ideas before investing a lot of time and money.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL FIND OUT ABOUT

 

• Pat tells us about how he instills the proper focus and mindset on his children so they can be more successful in what they do.

• He tells us about how his parenting style helps his children learn by discovery and mistakes to grow up in a mindful way.

• Pat tells us the story how school children can be guided to become problem solvers with real-life applications.

• He tells us the reason he wrote the book Will It Fly and how it can help entrepreneurs move forward with their business.

• Pat tells us about the two different type of validations in business, especially the “business to self” validation to see if your idea will fit into your life’s goals and direction.

• He describes that being in alignment with your business idea personally is the goal to being happy as well.

• Pat talks about the various exercises in the book which help determine if your business idea has merit and if it is a good idea for you.

• He tells us which of his “superpowers” he would use to sell himself on TV’s Shark Tank if he had the opportunity.

• Pat reassures us that we need to believe in ourselves and embrace our differences to stand out from the crowd.
