Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success."

In this episode, Chris discusses the importance of collaborations with industry peers, and how to do it successfully! He talks about his brand new podcast, This is Online Business, in which he co-hosted with his friend of 10+ years, Jeff Walker.

Chris emphasizes the benefits that collaborations can bring, why it’s a great learning tool for us entrepreneurs and his top five reasons for why it’s essential for positioning yourself as an expert in your niche.

When it comes to balancing work and family life, it can sometimes be difficult to effectively do both. In this episode, Chris invites Steve Chou onto the show to discuss his new book, the Family First Entrepreneur.

They talk about how to achieve financial freedom without sacrificing what matters most, why Steve felt the need to write the book for entrepreneurs who have families, as well as the systems and processes he follows to ensure that he’s not only achieving his business goals, but also being present for his family as and when they need him. If this is something you’re currently struggling with and have been wanting to improve, this episode is perfect for you!

As a self published author, not having your book available to buy on Amazon is a big problem. After five years since Rise of the Youpreneur was first shared with the world, Chris received an email from Amazon KDP informing him that they would be terminating his account... for no reason at all.

After digging around online, trying to make sense of the situation, Chris soon realized that this has happened to a lot of self published authors. In this episode, Chris walks through the timeline from first being notified to the current status of his appeal, what he’s done to stay proactive, and why he’s thankful to have built his business on his online home that he owns, and not rented land.
