From one entrepreneur to another, want the most powerful advice you need as you start off 2024? In this episode of the More Than Social Podcast, I share the top advice I learned from entrepreneurs I interviewed on my podcast in 2023. This year, I want you to tackle self-doubts and feelings of not feeling enough right off the bat. The advice shared by these top entrepreneurs includes making data a strong business ally, trusting yourself, taking time to pause before making important decisions, getting clarity with your goals, carrying a positive mindset, pursuing tasks that bring happiness, building connections with like-minded people, enjoying the journey of entrepreneurship, learning to say 'no', and mastering the art of selling. I believe in you, and it's important to celebrate your achievements while enjoying the entrepreneurship journey and learning from the past. Make data your best friend: Embracing data in decision-making can lead to more informed and effective choices. Trust yourself:  It's important to rely on your instincts and confidence in your abilities. Pause, then take action: There is so much value in taking a moment to reflect before acting, ensuring more thoughtful and deliberate decisions. Value clarity: In business, projects, tasks, communication and relationships. Valuing clarity before acting is a skill to hone in on. Carry a positive mindset: Maintaining a positive outlook can influence your life and the lives of those around you in a significant way. Do what makes you smile: Pursue activities and paths that bring you joy, satisfaction, fun challenges and excitement. You get to create what you want, how you want when you want. Find your people: It's so important to surround yourself with supportive and like-minded individuals; it's a key to elevating your business, life, and relationships. Enjoy the journey: Appreciate the process and experiences along the way, not just the end goal. Be patient: Things don't always work out or happen exactly when and how we want them to. Find patience in achieving goals and dealing with life's challenges. Only take advice that feels good to you: Be selective with the advice you accept, ensuring it aligns with your values and perspectives. Learn how to say no: There is so much power in saying no, and it's often one of the hardest things we can learn. It's okay to decline requests or opportunities that don't serve your best interests. Spend the time to learn how to sell the right way: Investing your time and energy in learning effective and ethical sales techniques that will skyrocket your business.   We talk about:  [0:00] Intro [3:45] #1 - Make data your best friend [5:19] #2 - Trust yourself [6:16] #3 - Pause, then take action [7:35] #4 - Value clarity [9:34] #5 - Carry a positive mindset [10:40] #6 - Do what makes you smile [11:47] #7 - Find your people [12:56] #8 - Enjoy the journey [14:09] #9 - Be patient [15:26] #10 - Only take advice that feels good to you [16:31] #11 - Learn how to say no [17:29] #12 - Spend the time to learn how to sell the right way Resources: Hera Zee - https://lisaanne.ca/how-to-structure-a-sales-page-that-converts-with-hera-zee/ Jess Jordana - https://lisaanne.ca/learn-copywriting-with-jess-jordana-check-out-her-insane-tips/ Samantha Lynn - https://lisaanne.ca/the-beginners-guide-to-pinterest-marketing-with-samantha-lynn/ Mike Draper - https://lisaanne.ca/how-to-get-more-tiktok-followers-fast-the-secret-strategy-revealed-with-mike-draper/ Ashley Ann - https://lisaanne.ca/use-live-stream-to-profit-with-ashley-ann/ Judi Fox - https://lisaanne.ca/unlocking-the-power-of-linkedin-expert-strategies-for-marketing-and-sales-with-judi-fox/ Chantelle Davison -https://lisaanne.ca/email-marketing-launch-strategies-for-program-success-with-chantelle/ Chad Durfee - https://lisaanne.ca/referral-marketing-how-to-turn-clients-into-your-best-advocates/ Andrea Maree - https://lisaanne.ca/instagram-marketing-tips-identifying-clients-tailoring-content-and-driving-sales-with-andrea/ Jami Monte - https://lisaanne.ca/how-to-organize-your-bookkeeping-for-a-more-productive-year/ Dawn Taylor - https://lisaanne.ca/entrepreneurship-managing-your-mental-health-as-a-business-owner/ Chris Kenney - https://lisaanne.ca/high-ticket-selling-when-is-the-right-time-to-make-the-leap/   Connect with me Website - https://lisaanne.ca  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/LisaAnneCoaching Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LisaAnneCoaching YouTube - http://www.YouTube.com/LisaAnneCoaching  LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/LisaAnneCoaching

Mike Draper discusses RAYGUN's growth, unionization and status as "The Greatest Store in the Universe."

Mike Draper is the founder and owner of RAYGUN, a Des Moines-based T-shirt store that opened in 2005 and has since grown into a regional powerhouse with locations in Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, Kansas City, and Chicago. As a kid, Mike heard his Connecticut relatives speak about Iowa to other New Englanders as if it needed defending. He later felt that difference more keenly at an Ivy League university, where his peers saw him as a mystery: a guy from a blank spot on the map. We also talk about the ironies in Midwest history, the strangeness of a region that is not a navigational direction and that serves as a gateway to everywhere else, and the cultural origins of tropes, like modesty, that dominate Midwestern identity.  Browse the RAYGUN collection, “The Mighty Midwest,” and follow the store on Facebook and Twitter. Mike Draper’s book, The Midwest: God’s Gift to Planet Earth, is available on the RAYGUN site and on Amazon.
