Why Entrepreneurship Reveals What You're Made Of - David & Donni #471

👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 👉🏾 Join the Morning Meetup - http://www.themorningmeetup.com⁣ 👉🏾 Actionable CEO: https://www.actionableceo.com/enroll On this Social Proof Podcast episode, we dive deep into the journey of transitioning from a comfortable job to full-time entrepreneurship. We kick things off with a shoutout to our sneaker plug, @Solebrity409, and then quickly shift gears to our main topic. We bring on Ramone, who recently quit his job to focus on his event rental company, Peachy Party ATL. Ramone shares his experience of leaving a stable job. The initial bravado he felt, and the subsequent anxiety and stress of making his business succeed. He admits that while he might have jumped too soon, he also feels it was the right time for him. Donni and I then share our own stories of leaving corporate America. Donni talks about her emotional decision to leave a job where she felt disrespected and how her mother's eventual support of her entrepreneurial journey was a turning point. I discuss my calculated approach, setting a quit number and ensuring consistent income from my business before making the leap. *** Grab the Podcast EBOOK👇🏾 ** http://www.podcastebook.com GO SUBSCRIBE to The Social Proof Podcast on All Streaming Platforms!!

In a recent podcast episode, the team from One Music Fest and Twogether Land discussed their journey and the key factors that have contributed to their success. One of the first things that stood out in the podcast was the emphasis on reputation and the way of doing business. The community plays a crucial role in shaping the perception of a music festival, and having a positive reputation can go a long way in attracting attendees and sponsors. As Steve Canale, the co-founder of One Venture Group, mentioned, building a track record of success is essential in correcting any misconceptions or doubts that may arise. The podcast also highlighted the importance of having a diverse team with different backgrounds and expertise. Troy Brown, with a background in brand marketing and digital, brings a unique perspective to the team. Motown Lee, with experience in the entertainment industry and artist management, adds a valuable skill set to the mix.

👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 👉🏾 Join the Morning Meetup - http://www.themorningmeetup.com⁣ 👉🏾 Actionable CEO: https://www.actionableceo.com/enroll David and Donni emphasize that financial pitfalls often stem from seemingly minor expenses that accumulate over time. David mentions, "Poverty is found in the pennies," suggesting that it's not the major purchases that typically derail financial plans, but the small, frequent expenditures that add up. For instance, using services like Instacart and DoorDash can lead to significant upcharges and fees. Donnie admits to paying a 15% upcharge on groceries and a $10 tip for delivery, which can quickly escalate the overall cost. *** Grab the Podcast EBOOK👇🏾 ** http://www.podcastebook.com GO SUBSCRIBE to The Social Proof Podcast on All Streaming Platforms!!

How To Monetize Your Podcast And Understand Sponsorships - Gary Coichy #468

👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 JOIN THE COMMUNITY TODAY: https://www.themorningmeetup.com Consistency is a fundamental aspect of podcasting that can significantly impact a podcaster's ability to attract advertisers and build a sustainable audience. As highlighted in the episode, Gary Coichy, the founder and CEO of Pod Digital Media, emphasizes the importance of consistent content creation for podcasters aiming to secure sponsorships and maintain listener engagement. Building Audience Trust and Engagement One of the primary reasons consistency is crucial is that it helps build trust and engagement with the audience. When podcasters release episodes on a regular schedule, listeners know when to expect new content, fostering a sense of reliability and loyalty. Gary mentions that if podcasters remain consistent, they can build an audience over time. This regularity is essential because it keeps the audience engaged and coming back for more, which is a key factor in growing a podcast's listener base. This can attract advertisement opportunities that can be extremely beneficial.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Chef Chazzy, a passionate chef who is juggling multiple roles as a business owner, wife, and mother. David suggests that getting a job and building slowly is a practical and effective approach to entrepreneurship. He emphasizes the importance of having a steady income to support one's household while also investing in the growth of a business. By working a nine to five job, individuals can secure a stable source of income to cover their bills and expenses, reducing the financial pressure on their families. This allows them to allocate a portion of their earnings towards building their business gradually over time. *** Grab the Podcast EBOOK👇🏾 *** http://www.podcastebook.com GO SUBSCRIBE to The Brain Picker Podcast on All Streaming Platforms!!
