TVC – Episode 030

Do you live a life that is unsatisfying?

If you answered yes.  It’s OK.  Don’t feel bad, because 80% of people polled will admit that they live uninspired lives and want more.

Jeff Steinmann has created his website and podcast to help people quit their job and start a business.

He has shared some of the insights from his book, How To Quit Working to let you know that you can do it.  You can take control of your life and be happy.

During our discussion, Jeff revealed that he had made a plan to quit his job once, but he could’t pull the trigger.

So he stayed in his job, and he got pay raises, and promotions.

But every time he was given a reason to celebrate, Jeff realized that the new job meant more responsibility and more of the things he never wanted.

You’ll enjoy hearing the story of how Jeff finally mustered the courage to walk away from his corporate job for good.

In this podcast discussion, you’ll learn:

• You should start a side business before you quit your job.
• What many online marketing gurus tell you is backwards-
  • Never start with an educational product
  • Market study is critical before you make a product to sell.
  • Be sure that people will be willing to purchase your product or service before you go through the time and trouble of making it.
• The Shark Tank is a great TV show, but you don’t need to play in a venture capital game to start your own business.
• To quit working and start your own job, you’ll need to free up time and money
  • Jeff’s best tip to free up a lot of money, and a lot of time is to drop your cable TV service.
    • This works, I have personally used this strategy to great effect!
• Get up an hour earlier every day and take time to visualize what you want to accomplish with your business
  • Be clear about your goals, and visualize you achieving them every day.
  • Set a schedule for your day, and try to stick to the schedule
    • Try to set aside an entire weekend day for working your side business.
    • Make sure you have your family on board with this first
• Believe that you can do it.
  • Again, you must have a clear understanding of your goals so that you can see yourself doing them.
• Make priorities every day.
  • Ask yourself “What 3 Things Must I Get Done Today?”  Then, focus on those 3 things before you even think about anything else.
• Shift from an employee mindset to an entrepreneur mindset.
  • Employees operate in a belief of scarcity.  Spending money is thought of as being bad or naughty to do.
  • Business owners think of expenses in terms of Investment, or Returns.  It’s always ok to spend if you expect to gain more back in the long run.
  • Study up more on the differences, and think more like an entrepreneur.
