Podcasts about chimp essentials

This week Rob talks about a course he took on email marketing called Chimp Essentials by Paul Jarvis and why questioning how you're using email in your business is important.

In business, does growth equate to bigger means better? What if you could scale your business and find more freedom and success with a company of one mindset? Today's guest has a lot to share on this topic. Paul Jarvis is a designer who likes writing. Paul has been working for himself since the 90s. He is the creator of the online courses Creative Class and Chimp Essentials.  He is also the author of Company of One: Why Staying Small Is the Next Big Thing for Business and the co-founder of Fathom Analytics.  His work has been featured in WIRED, Fast Company, and more. He has been noticed and mentioned by Ashton Kutcher and Arianna Huffington.  Some of his clients include Microsoft, Danielle LaPorte, Mercedes-Benz, Maria Forleo, and too many to mention. He is here with us today to share the mindset of a company of one. We talk about what it means to scale your business, be profitable, and find freedom. We’ll learn that sometimes in business, bigger isn't always better. Show Notes: [03:31] Paul wasn't planning on being an entrepreneur. He worked for an agency in Toronto. He loved the work and the clients, but he didn't like the company.  [03:57] When he left the company, clients started calling him. He then realized that he might be able to do this on his own. [04:30] Paul became an entrepreneur by accident. His planned trip to the library to learn how to write a resume turned into a trip to learn how to start a business.  [05:20] The biggest benefit of running his own business is being able to have a direct client contact. It's a lot harder to get a new customer than to keep an existing one. [06:03] He preferred to focus on retention as opposed to acquisition by offering excellent customer service. [07:35] One of the biggest client misconceptions is that they will let you know when they need more work done. Paul started contacting his clients and discovered that they did want more from him. [08:07] Keeping in touch also keeps you top-of-mind. [09:50] Paul can run a business with a very small group of people and outsource things without having everyone on the payroll. [10:24] Paul doesn't want to run a big company and manage other people. He doesn't want to build a business that will put him into that role. [11:36] It's hard to be skilled at every area of a business. Focus on what you are good at and get others to help with the other stuff.  [14:17] Paul is extremely driven when he decides to do something. He didn't plan to be a writer, but he enjoys it, and it's a great way to share ideas.  [15:22] Paul's favorite story is about his friend's dad who was an architect that started working at home. Above his computer he had a sign that said "overhead equals death." [17:08] Expressing personality is attractive to clients. Sharing your personality can draw in the people who are the right fit and push away the people who aren't. [20:51] People buy based on how they feel they are treated. Fostering success and making customers happy is the best way to sell.  [22:34] One of his friends encouraged him to start a podcast. He now has two shows and is starting another one.  [24:29] A business has to make enough to keep going. Helping people also makes you feel really good.  [26:31] We often put self-inflicted pressure on ourselves in business.  [28:07] Growth is beneficial in the beginning of starting a business. People are happier if they make more money, but only up to a certain point.  [30:18] Freedom is important, so working 16 hours a day isn't a requirement. [31:05] Doing less is Paul's biggest productivity hack. He also turns off distractions. Take on less stuff.  [32:10] “No” should be the default for everyone. This way you only do what needs to be done.  [34:50] Find the types of projects and clients you enjoy working with and that can really move the needle. Say “no” to the other stuff. [35:22] Overtime you can narrow your niche down. In the beginning, you may have to be more open to trying different things. [36:04] Paul likes routine. He wakes up early. He makes himself a coffee and then goes on to work on creative stuff. After that, an hour or two on admin. Then he'll garden or exercise.  [38:05] Paul's biggest “aha” moment was when he wrote an article about why he doesn't put growth at the top as priority for his business. He got 1,200 or 1,300 replies from people who had the same sentiment. He realized that there was probably a book that could focus on this topic. [39:48] The byproduct of business success isn't growth it's freedom.

Welcome to episode #662 of Six Pixels of Separation.  Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #662 - Host: Mitch Joel. What kind of business do you want to build? What kind of business do you really want to work for? It's true that we live a world where we can choose to do so many interesting and different things... and we can do them from the comfort of our own home (if we so choose). Paul Jarvis is the author of a great book called, Company of One. I was fortunate enough to be asked to blur this book. Paul thinks differently (very differently) about work (and what it means). He's a designer who likes writing (or vice versa) and has worked for himself since the 90s. His courses —Creative Class and Chimp Essentials — have been taken by more than 13,000 paying students. His writing has been talked about by everyone from Ashton Kutcher to Arianna Huffington. Paul also sends out a weekly newsletter, called Sunday Dispatches (and I love it!). Here has a very different perspective on what "making it” means, and how to live a life with work that matters. Enjoy the conversation. Running time: 54:57. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

This week I sat down with entrepreneur and author Paul Jarvis to discuss why you don’t need to grow your business. Paul is a designer who likes writing (or vice versa) and has worked for himself since the 90s. He wrote a book called Company of One (Jan 15, 2019), published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. His courses—Creative Class and Chimp Essentials—have been taken by more than 13,564 paying students. His writing has been talked about by everyone from Ashton Kutcher to Arianna Huffington. He’s worked with clients, such as Microsoft, Danielle LaPorte, Mercedes-Benz, Marie Forleo and Warner Music. His ideas and words have been featured in WIRED, Fast Company, Vice, USA Today and more. As a totally random aside, his photography has been seen on Greys Anatomy (the TV show). HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: Why Paul decided to write his book Company of One The importance of a company of one Why growth is not the best decision for every company How a company of one is based on a mindset, not a number The core skillset you will need The significance of setting your upper bounds The danger of setting your business goals too high The number one thing to consider with goal-setting Why introspection (and time for it) is a must Factors to consider when setting your upper bounds Lifestyle creep and how it can impact your happiness The best way to juggle opportunities and obligations How to have a business that supports your life and not the other way around What “shoulding” all over yourself can do to your mindset and success The way Paul defines success in his business How systems can be more of a hindrance when starting a business The significance of connecting with the customer before scaling LINKS WE MENTIONED ON THE SHOW: Company of One by Paul Jarvis I Don’t Care About Growth The Challenge of Sitting with Your Thoughts Study Danielle Laporte GET SOCIAL WITH PAUL AND LET HIM KNOW YOU HEARD ABOUT HIM HERE Paul's Website Paul's e-mail Twitter

For this epiosde, we head to an island. Well away from the major city - off the mainland of British Columbia, Canada. A young man has grown from an unfortunate, bedridden condition in his youth to one of the most creative, one-man businesses around. He’s done it by embracing the same counter-culture thinking he was captivated by, in his earliest years. That creative led to him finding his place as a designer, then a freelancer, a podcaster, a course developer, and now, an author - with an established publishing company. He’s deep into the hundreds and hundreds of thousands in annual revenue and he got there through a unique combination of escaping civilization -  while at the same time finding his audience. This is the story of Paul Jarvis, author of the new book - Company of One. Paul's built an audience of thousands of readers on his blog, teaches freelancers, writers, product-owners, content creators and businesses, how to use MailChimp with his online course - Chimp Essentials. He has also helped over 10,000 paying students with his other course Creative Class, where he teaches them the business side of freelancing. Listen in as Paul dives deep into his philosophy of transitioning from a freelance based work lifestyle to a more product base income approach, how to successfully manage and his strategies to scaling a business without giving up your freedom.

In today's episode of The Art of Passive Income, Mark and Scott talk with Paul Jarvis—PJrvs.com. Paul is a designer, author, teacher, software creator, and podcaster. He's written 4 books—and is currently working on his fifth book called, Company of One which is due to be released early 2019. It's about how companies can be better without being bigger. Paul has built several software companies, and has taught over 10,000 students through his online courses—Creative Class, Chimp Essentials and Grow Your Audience. He hosts two podcasts: Sunday Dispatches and Invisible Office Hours and has worked with big companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Microsoft, and Warner Music. His work has appeared in Fast Company, CNBC, Forbes, Newsweek, BuzzFeed, Lifehacker! Paul believes that bigger is not necessarily better when it comes to business growth. He explains that there is a balance that needs to happen and you shouldn't try to grow if it doesn't make sense. Growth is fine as long as it's questioned. As long as it makes sense, like the checks and balances of growth.If that makes sense to you, then grow in whichever means necessary. How do we step back and figure out individually what makes us happy and what is enough? It all comes down to introspection. Paul explains that it's the most important thing. “Introspection comes from looking at consistency because that's where the truth lies.” Listen in now as Paul teaches us why we should grow our businesses better, not bigger. Plus, we explore: The truth of suffering The lost art of the ability to focus And is there such a thing as an overnight success? Paul explains that we don't see what led up to that success story. It could have taken 15 years of fails before finally getting that one big win and we shouldn't compare our own success to that one tiny spec we see.  I think that it's important to look at the difference between how we perceive ourselves versus how the outside world perceives us because typically it's incredibly different.

My guest today is creative professional extraordinaire, Paul Jarvis. Paul is founder and launcher of a plethora of online products for creative professionals including Creative Class, Chimp Essentials, Project Prescription, 4 Wordpress Themes and his weekly emails The Sunday Dispatches. Paul also has his own podcast called, The Freelancer, which you 100% should check out because he drops wisdom bombs like they're going out of style on a regular basis. Paul currently resides in the woods of Canada, on an island with his wife Lisa and their gang of pet rats. He rocks cheap beer toques and meditation beads (typically at the same time). He also has way more tattoos than you. (I ripped this little about part from his site so that's how I know he has more tattoos than you.) I stumbled across Paul when a friend of mine recommended I check out his Chimp Essentials MailChimp course which was hands down one of the best courses I've ever taken. The course is on hiatus right now but will be back soon. I'll let you know when it's back because it is great. Just from taking that course I got the sense that: a) Paul really knew what he was talking about b) he genuinely seemed to care about the people he was speaking to c) he seemed like a really awesome person I'd like to talk with. So, I hit him up and he responded and we set up a time to chat and this podcast is the fruit of that (very easy to do) labor. Topics Discussed This Episode Being Honest and Authentics The Value of Introspection The Similarities Between Being a Musician and a Freelancer Business Done Right Being Service The Pitfalls of the Mindset of "Doing Only What You Love" Is Paul Spiritual? What is Spiritual? Creating Things with Purpose Fear and Action Coexisitng Creating Space in Life/Business No Having Expectations Having Clear Intentions and Being Radically Honest The Merits of Veganism In addition to being a creator par excellence Paul is also a musician and I asked him for a couple of music recommendations. At the time he was enjoying Side Data (a Canadian band) and the Kruder and Dorfmeister Sessions Volume 1 (which is one of my favorite mix compilations of all time). Paul also recommended Oliver Burkeman's, "The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking". I'm giving away a copy of "The Antidote" for this weeks Synchronicity giveaway. All you need to do to is join the Synchronicity Community and you are automatically entered in the contest. Find Paul on Twitter and be sure to check out his very excellent website.
