In a recent 'State of Creators Report', Kajabi shared that 96% of course creators are earning less than $100k per year. I want to change that! 
In this episode, I am sharing with you, the 3 essentials that you need in order to make over 6 figures. We want to drastically increase the % of course creators who are running sustainable and profitable businesses.

You’re listening to my most favourite interview I have ever done on my podcast. 
A mega 2.5 hour sit down with incredible author, deep thinker, TED speaker and all round awesome human - Derek Sivers!
He’s my fav all time author and His books 'Anything You Want' & 'Hell Yeah or No' and ‘How to Live’ are the absolute greatest. He’ll be putting out into the world soon, his new book, ‘Useful Not True’. 
Every time I read his books, listen to his TED talks or hear him speak, I am reminded to question my own beliefs, to walk my own path and to feel more joy.
We talk entrepreneurship, living a meaningful life, money and chasing joy. 
I hope you love this episode as much as I did! what a freaking joy it was to sit down with him for this conversation.

I promise you that this episode is more uplifting than it's title implies! Personally, I don't love the messaging that business is supposed to be easy and you can 'get rich in 15 minutes a day'... it means that for everyone starting and building a real business, you can feel like you're missing some magical piece of the puzzle.
If it's hard at times, you're not doing anything wrong! That's business, welcome to the game!
Today I am sharing with you the 10 problems that I know every single business owner experiences from time to time so that first of all, you're prepared, and second, that you feel less alone when you're going through them.
With 20 years in business I will take this set of problems absolutely any day over a different life that doesn't involve entrepreneurship, but eyes are wide open with reality.
