Good Money with Derrick Kinney Derrick Kinney

*Special Summer Replay*
 
You would think the most brilliant of entrepreneurs would rarely face failure. After all, didn’t they just come up with one genius idea and money started flooding in? Not the case for Netflix co-founder, Marc Randolph. The truth? Marc was told, “That will never work,” more times than he could count. In this vulnerable conversation, Marc shares the challenges and harsh rejection he faced during the early days of Netflix and peels back the curtain of the often-glamorized world of entrepreneurship. And he says the problems you see every day in your business or your job could be your golden ticket to big profits. Subscribe and listen now to my conversation with Marc on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!
 
You Will Learn That:
• You build skills by doing them
• Pain is the parent to ideas
• Entrepreneurship is a grind
• There is no easy way
• There’s always a reason not to do something
• Why you should think less and do more
• If you wait, you’re too late
• Nobody knows anything
 
Quotes:
• “The way you learn to make better decisions is by making decisions.” – Marc Randolph
• “Start small, build momentum. And that allows you to bet on yourself and place bigger bets because you can be confident in your own abilities.” – Derrick Kinney
• “Once you’ve learned to really articulate the problem and see the problem clearly, almost without even thinking about it, ideas begin popping into your mind.” – Marc Randolph
• “And it was this realization at that moment that there was no easy way. There was no trick. There was no magic bullet. There wasn’t a way around. And, as my Dad used to say, ‘Sometimes the only way out is through.’” – Marc Randolph
• “If you don’t start, you’re never going to get anywhere. There’s always a reason not to do something.” – Marc Randolph
• “So, the lesson there is, you can’t over commit. Whatever you think is an overcommitment is probably just barely enough to land that trick.” – Marc Randolph
• “The uncertainty is everything. If you wait until you can see around the corner enough to be confident that your idea is going to work, I guarantee you’re too late.” – Marc Randolph
• “The most important skill of a good entrepreneur is, are they creative and clever enough to figure out ways to try their ideas that are quick, simple, and cheap? Because then they can try hundreds of ideas.” – Marc Randolph

My guest today says you could be one meeting or one relationship away from changing your life. And you’re going to want to hear the incredible stories he shares that prove it. Ed Mylett is a nationally recognized speaker and coach to top athletes, celebrities, and business executives.

What Ed shared with me in this conversation changed the way I think about problems and success—and I bet he’ll do the same for you, too. You’re about to learn why you’re closer to your dreams and goals than you think. And if you’re a business owner, why your business will fail if you are not solving a pain point for people.

SPECIAL SUMMER REPLAY
 
When my guest Codie Sanchez left her job on Wall Street, people thought she was crazy. But Codie knew that true success meant building streams of income that don’t require you to trade your time for money. 
 
So she decided to focus on a niche that few investors even think about: boring businesses. Today, Codie has built a portfolio of 25 “boring businesses,” like laundromats and car washes, that generate eight figures in passive revenue. Sure, boring businesses might not be flashy like creating the next Uber, but they are reliably profitable. 
 
In this episode, Codie is going to show you how you can invest in boring businesses and use them to create lasting wealth. Plus, Codie reveals why you can’t save your way to generational wealth and the secret to being an incredible deal maker. (And I ask Codie a pretty candid question at the end that you might relate to.)
