Fantastic interview, this is my first exposure to Andy but I'm totally a fan now! I have a very similar story to his and so this resonates with me quite a bit! I also loved what he said about finding someone who is a few steps ahead of you as they will provide the most value for your particular situation. I think this is a great frame of mind for people who think that THEY have to serve everyone. Focus on serving people who are just a few steps behind you as that is place where YOU can be the most valuable. n nAndy nailed it with the notion of pre-selling (falls right in-line with Eric Ries Lean Startup and the MVP — Minimum Viable Product). I agree that this tip ALONE can really help many "future-preneurs" get over their issues with getting started. n nAlso, as per usual, Jacob is RIGHT ON with engaging with your community/mentors, etc and living to serve. Its not just the right thing, its good business. n nThanks guys! n nJG
Love the recap JG! Good stuff.
Thanks JG!
Great interview. I wish it wouldn't have ended so soon 🙁 n nHere's a few of my favorite big ideas… n n1. MINDSET IS CRITICAL. Can you handle success? Personally, I think this is the cause to my first launch failure. n n2. MARKETING MATTERS. Even if you're the best coach in the world, even if you have the best product in the world, none of that matters if no one knows about it. Marketing is a must! Embrace it! n n3. GET A MENTOR. Someone who's two-three steps ahead of you is ideal. Offer your services. n n4. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE YOU ASPIRE TO BE LIKE. Are the 5 people you are hanging out the most with, averaging your up or averaging you down? The quality of your life depends on it! n n5. IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT FOLLOWING YOUR BLISS. It takes diligent work. It may feel like a grind at first. Make me think of George Leonard's book, Mastery. Learning to love the plateaus, the journey, the work. n nAs always… good stuff Jacob! n nThanks for doing what you do Jacob and thanks to Andy for being so generous and sharing his wisdom. n nBig Hugs, nLori n n
An even BETTER recap! #5 is definitely MY biggest struggle!
Lori- awesome bullets. @jg – why is 5 your sturggle?
Hey Andy, its mainly a case of impatience! Wanting it all to happen now and being frustrated when it doesnt. I have made HUGE strides in that though and have become much more comfortable with committing to the long-term process and not the short-term outcome. This is something that I have chosen to dedicate my life to and i know it will grow and evolve over time without any pressure needed from me 🙂
I really liked this interview with Andy. I have been following him and Dane for a while and they always give so much value through their vids. n
Thanks rachel!!
Your mindset is a really powerful thing. And I love the casual atmosphere of the interview rather than the kind of awkward formal one that seems to almost be a trend.
me too. spending two weeks together in an RV makes it easy to be casual together. 😛
Haha, that would definitely help.
As someone that chose to not go into a cubicle job after school and straight into entrepreneurship, I think there are a few trade-offs that I wasn't expecting: n1. Being miserable at your job might be good fuel to get out and get things sorted out quickly. I sometimes find that I don't have much sense of urgency because I'm living at home trying to start something up. n2. The skills learned at that job might be beneficial in entrepreneurship. n nI do actually feel pretty alone in this, as most successful people on the internet had a desk job at some point. With that being said, I think my biggest takeaway is also that the mindset is more important than having the steps laid out in front of me. Really appreciate the interview and your generosity in sharing your experience. n n
how do you get over the loneliness? I feel like that's one of hte hardest things of being an entrepreneur. We've got a pretty bad ass community inside TheFoundation.com… but for so long it was just me and dane hanging outtogether… plugging away and studying business dayin and day out. n nit's really hard to build a business when there are few people around you doing the same thing
I'm still juggling two careers – my day job as a crisis social worker in an inner city school, and my other job (my real passion!) as a life coach. Part of the reason I've kept both jobs is because I think deep down I do fear the loneliness that could come with working from home. So much of my coaching is over the phone, which I love – but I do value having the face to face time, both with my clients and also with other coworkers.
Have just enter your website and follow you on Twitter, and really, im stucked in my notebook for 3 hours now! here in argentina is really late. Listening to Esther now, and learning how to be an entrepreneur. Andy you are so great, its so intense for me to see that when you know you have more to give, opprtunities appear. Thanks guys!
