Danny Carlson Podcast

I dreamed about building my business while living in a tropical country for years before I actually did it. And now that I've been living it for 4 years, has it lived up to my expectations?In this episode, I talk about what I wish I knew before I began my "digital nomad" adventure, and the pros and cons of the life of an ex-pat entrepreneur.Hopefully, this gives better insight to those who are tired of normalcy and looking to live somewhere else on their own terms.

I can only imagine what the death of a family member must feel like, but for Josh Forti, it was reality.After the sale of his agency he was riding high, but a tragedy forced him to take a hard look at his life direction and what really mattered.He now has a crystal clear vision of where he wants to go and knows exactly why & how.In this episode of the Danny Carlson Podcast, Josh shares the framework he used to find this clarity we can all learn from.

It's the dream of many who start in the online worlds to live in a a tropical country in winter & their home city in summer. This was my original motivation as well... although I haven't been back to Vancouver.Dewan Bayney has the same dream, and after going through a rough breakup, decided Bali was the place for him.His SEO agency team took minimal tweaks to allow him to make the move and still operate his business from overseas.He's back in Vancouver now during the COVID-19 outbreak, but plans to return to Bali as soon as he's able to surround himself once again with inspiring entrepreneurs and health-minded people.In this episode of the Danny Carlson Podcast, Dewan shares his biggest failures & biggest wins through his journey as an online entrepreneur, and what finally started working for him focusing heavily on relationships.95% of his SEO agency clients have come from personal relationships... that's powerful! Reach out to Dewan Here: https://www.instagram.com/dewanbayneyDewan's SEO Agency: https://kontaktdigital.com/Dewan Bayney YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFUuoQLFZFDLfk0GkdQQi_Q

On this episode of the Danny Carlson Podcast, he shares 3 key concepts from his new book Fix This Next, newly available now on Amazon or at https://www.fixthisnext.comI'm listening to the Audible version as I'm typing this!The books that had the biggest impact on me growing my agency Kenji ROI to a sizable 6 figure business with smooth operations are.Profit FirstProfit First accounting is a dead simple but very effective way for business owners to clearly see the financial health of their business. So many of my mentors have recommended this book that I had no choice but to go through it and implement.ClockworkThis book is a roadmap to systematizing your business to the point where you could step away for a 2 months vacation and come back with the business still running. Whether you want to do that or not, it will force you to build a business to the point where it can run without you, which is a healthy business!

But he also breaks the mold of a traditional tech startup founder, as he has no tech background whatsoever. He was a photographer for 25 years before starting the Plotaverse App.Seeing the photography industry rates start to decline, he started looking for other ways to capitalize on his 25 years of photo experience.He's now negotiating collaborations with GoPro and Facebook, but how did he grow so elegantly in such a unique way?It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, and a lot of it came down to luck (such as launching an iPhone version against his team's better judgement), but there are moments of greatness to be learned from his journey.This is the story of Troy Christopher Plota.  Linkshttps://plotaverse.com/#!/?tab=loops&search-category=members&profile=Portfolios&preview=Comments

Just a few months after our breakup and closing ritual, we are at a place where we can meet for lunch and not have weird energy towards each other.We still do acroyoga together whenever we see each other, and even partnered for a weekend intensive workshop... and it felt good, just like a close friend rather than awkwardly avoiding each other & projecting negativity.I've learned a lot about how it's totally possible to honor and respect a failed relationship and how your relationship with that person can take on a different form.There is a process and specific sequence of steps I used that for me helped me mentally make this transition as successful as it's ever been for me.Yes, it took a bit of explaining to my new girlfriend why I was messaging and playing acro with my ex, but she actually thinks it's inspiring how we can both interact with each other this way.  Check out the episode about my Relationship Closing Ritual: https://www.dannycarlson.co/ep-6-my-relationship-closing-ritual/
