But we're going to let Joe White of Sales Gorilla and Get Life Coaching tell you that...and we won't even judge him for his weird obsession with Live PD (Sara's DH digs it, too, and it's weird.)

When he decided to start a co-working space in Doylestown, Jonathan Mercer, founder of Stacks Co. was drawing from his corporate experience, as well as from his own person struggle with depression and anxiety that often lead him to isolate himself when he probably should have been out and socializing with other professionals.
His idea was awesome – create a space where entrepreneurs could work, collab, and share resources *and* he got to own his own business! Everything was all up and running on all cylinders…..and then some BIG turns happened – obvi – he’s on the s...2019-03-1239 min

Internships are, theoretically, a win/win situation. Win for the student because they get real world experience in their chosen field, and a win for the business owner – free labor and passing the torch to the next gen!
It’s even cooler when you can parlay that internship into a paying job at the same firm you’ve been interning at for half a year! They’ve recognized your talent and want to pay you for it…and things are going along great for another 6 months – UNTIL THEY AREN’T!

You, especially need to listen to this episode. In doing so, though, you need to be open minded enough to actually HEAR what young Justin is saying to you...because he's not wrong.
The traditional college experience isn't for everyone these days. The job market is different. Your children need to learn to adapt, before they are strapped with 6 figure debt and very low job prospects at the edge of 21.
Like we said. Listen with openmindedness.

Successfully Screwed PodcastEpisode 2.3 - Hiring, Firing, and Ignoring Your NumbersIt's the scenario that every entrepreneur hopes for...you get so busy that you need to hire help! Woohoo - you're in the big leagues now!
Then you do everything you think you should to find that perfect person...right down to the personality test, and you find that perfect first employee! How exciting, right?
That's the start of Julie Shopa's low point. Thing is, as chief bookkeeping expert and owner of Clarity Finances, she DID see the financial red flags, but as a human, she kept hoping for the best, despite them (because she's a nice person!).

Successfully Screwed PodcastEpisode 2.2 - No Plan Survives Contact with RealityWith three business failures under his belt, Julius V. Holmes IV (aka Lord Resume) is no stranger to this entrepreneurial roller coaster ride. Here's the thing, though - he learned to get through thoughts of feeling frustrated and dumb for wasting time and got up, kept going and THRIVES!
In fact, he recommends failing often! For Julius, it's more about the GOAL, and less about the vehicle that gets him there.
(Also, he has the best social media around! If you're having a bad day, go follow him!)

Successfully Screwed PodcastEpisode # 12 - "Don't Hurt Me! Travis Will Kick Your Butt!"When did Seth Goldstein of Goldstein Media realize he bit off more than he can chew?
When he was threatened with bodily harm.
Now, you might not have to get to that point to realize that you (1) can’t do everything and (2) need some help from others (“competition” can be your friend!!), but we’re guessing you’ve realized that not everything works with the “Say yes, and figure it out later” method. If not, you will.
(The first step to that is making sure that your clients use firearms responsibly.)
