If you're like me, then you've watched and read your full share of "these stories" and maybe in your mind you "claim it" for yourself, but there's a piece of you that wonders, "Can I really really do it too?" This is my story of how I unintentionally and then intentionally created my first $1,000 day and 7 consecutive days of income, not in the midst of any type of "launch."

In business it's both who you know and who knows you. Often, we don't think that we have value to offer to potential mentors and others who we'd like to add to our network.

“When people ask me what I think about their business idea I say, ‘It doesn’t matter what I think. What do your customers think?'”  As part of a continuing series of interviews with various entrepreneurs at the tops of their industries, I sat down with 500 Startups Founder, Dave McClure, to talk about what else, money and diversity in Silicon Valley. Dave McClure is a venture capitalist & founding partner at 500 Startups, an internet startup seed fund and incubator program in Mountain View, CA. He likes to hang out with entrepreneurs, and occasionally invest in startups foolish enough to let him. He has been an investor in over 250 companies including Mint.com, Twilio, Wildfire Interactive, SendGrid, TaskRabbit, SlideShare, Mashery, CreditKarma, KISSmetrics, and MakerBot, among others. Dave has been geeking out in Silicon Valley for over twenty years, and has worked with companies such as PayPal, Founders Fund, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twilio, Mint.com, Simply Hired, O’Reilly Media, Intel, & Microsoft. Years ago he used to do real work like coding or marketing or running conferences, but these days he mostly does useless stuff like sending lots of email, blogging, and hanging out on Facebook and Twitter. He barely graduated from Johns Hopkins University and also likes to play ultimate frisbee when his knees don’t hurt. Never one to hold back, Dave waxes poetic (not really) on: His own journey from Johns Hopkins engineering student to being one of the original PayPal employees to angel to juggernaut The lack of diversity in Silicon Valley His ‘Why’ for founding 500 Startups What companies need to do to position themselves for venture capital What he looks for in an investment Where’s he’s looking to invest next The BIGGEST mistakes startups make And most importantly…Why the hell he curses so much!!!!????!!!

We can't make an impact unless people implement what we share with them. Wendy walks us through the 10 steps to create massive impact. We also talk about knowing our value.  

This is good standalone advice, but it also supports #HerPower Biz Tips #2 - You Need to Know Other People and Build Lasting Connections and #6 - You Need To Know How and What to Delegate. Good mentors and peers can help you by sharing industry-specific knowledge and information, as well as general business advice. This is also where joining a formal mastermind or networking group can really add value and educate you as you grow. Additionally, if you’re spending six hours on your WordPress plugin to capture email addresses or change the font on your website’s welcome page, then you clearly don’t know WordPress and should therefore delegate that task to someone else.

"Steve Jobs taught people to pay for content online [through the Apple Store.]" "I tried a few different businesses before launching Foundr Magazine for Young Entrepreneurs. I even tried to sell cologne reviews online!!" Nathan Chan knew he wanted to feel more fulfilled in his life. He wasn't happy with his job and wanted more. He read loads of books and articles about being an entrepreneur but didn't implement most of what he learned. He searched for a guide to help him start but couldn't find what he needed, so he created it. Foundr Magazine was created to help young entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses. Just over a year ago Nathan quit his full-time job and now focuses full-time on creating products to help entrepreneurs. He is well versed in many areas, but we've chosen to go deep on how to build a successful online subscription-based publication AND how to increase your Instagram following with engaged followers, who become not only rabid fans, but paying customers. Sister Power Hustler, Eryka, Publisher of the online beauty, fashion and art publication for today's women of color, Fabulize Mag, submitted some great targeted questions that Nathan answers with a level of detail that will help anyone create a thriving online magazine--and business. Nathan and I chat about: What it took for a risk-averse person like himself to leave his 'day job' and focus completely on what was then his side hustle How to start a digital publication, from choice of platform, to content and marketing, to team building Why he suggests that we give away our best stuff for free Knowing your market and knowing your competitors The power of social proof and leveraging when you're new in business and to enter new markets His proven process for gaining over 10,000 real and engaged Instagram followers IN 2 WEEKS!!!!
