In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Anita Henderson, known as "The Author's Midwife," who coaches entrepreneurs and C-suite executives to write, publish, and leverage books as powerful marketing tools.As business owners, we often hear about writing a book but struggle with actually completing one. Whether it's feeling overwhelmed by the process or battling imposter syndrome, many of us keep our book ideas tucked away for years. Anita shared how her clients typically spend 9-12 months crafting their books—far from the "write a book in a weekend" myth—and how a well-crafted book can generate leads and opportunities for years to come.What I found most valuable was Anita's approach to entrepreneurship through her own book, "Becoming the Minimalist Entrepreneur." Her philosophy of clarifying, simplifying, and focusing your business resonated deeply with my observations from hundreds of podcast interviews—true success rarely comes from complexity.

On today's episode of the Entrepreneur Evolution Podcast, we are joined by Anita Henderson. Entrepreneurship wasn't Anita's goals list early in her career. She wanted the professional title, the corner office with the window, the assistant right outside her door, the fat paycheck, the expense account, and all the other benefits of corporate success. She got all that, then got burned out. When an unexpected opportunity landed in her lap, she jumped at it. Entrepreneurship called out to her loud and clear. That was more than twenty-five years ago. Since then, she has started two companies (one a partnership), written nine books, and dipped her toe back into corporate a few times before finally retiring from the 9-to-5 more than a decade ago. Anita has also hosted a radio show, an internet TV program, and a podcast. Known as The Author's Midwife, she now enjoys guiding C-suite execs and seasoned entrepreneurs to write, publish, and leverage their books to position themselves as authorities. As an author coach and book publishing strategist, she shares the secrets to writing and publishing a bestselling and award-worthy book through her Write Your Life Author Coaching Program. She is the author of Becoming the Minimalist Entrepreneur: Lessons Learned From My Journey to Work Less, Earn More, and Play More. Her greatest joy as a business owner is learning from her mistakes and failures. There have been many, which means she's learned a lot. But the growth and rewards have been instrumental in making her the leader and the minimalist entrepreneur she is today.   To learn more, visit https://writeyourlife.net/   --   We would love to hear from you, and it would be awesome if you left us a 5-star review.

Sahil Lavingia is the founder of Gumroad, the platform that allows creators to sell products online. The beating heart of the creator economy. You'll likely have heard Sahil's story about his failure to build a billion dollar company with an article that went viral, but let me summarise for those that haven't.Sahil founded Gumroad in 2011, aiming to build the next unicorn, leaving Pinterest where he was employee #2. He raised $1.1m from angels, then $7m more in 2012. Things started growing, then they didn't. Sahil laid off 75% of the company to keep the product alive, moved to Provo, Utah to figure where to take Gumroad from that point. Almost a decade later Gumroad is growing quicker than ever, making millions in revenue and helping creators make a living online.Sahil has just launched his book, The Minimalist Entrepreneur, where he shares a decade of learnings on how to build a profitable, sustainable business and how entrepreneurs can do more with less to make more impact on the world.

Children are often fascinated with technology, and Sahil Lavingia's story isn't any different: he first started getting into computers at about 12, playing around with graphic design tools like Photoshop, and it soon naturally developed into building websites for family and friends.One Computer Science and Engineering degree later, Sahil turned what started as a casual project for himself into a marketplace for others like him to get paid doing what they were good at: Gumroad went from a weekend project to a sustainable business that became a staple of the gig economy. But the road wasn't without its bumps.Now having published his book "The Minimalist Entrepreneur", Sahil is known not only for his transparency about his challenges as a founder, but also for talking about the alternative path for founders that aren't looking to build a VC-backed unicorn.In this episode we talk about:Community-driven products and the art of problem-solvingShaping the future of workAnd the delicate balance between profitability and scaleBuilding something new?

In this podcast, we cover - The art & science of designing for profitability Insights on scaling yourself through words Lessons in chasing personal passions for professional success This is Sahil - "It was 2011, and I was on top of the world. I was a 19-year-old solo founder with millions in the bank. At first, everything was great. We grew the team. We stayed focused on our product. Monthly revenues were climbing. But after four years, there was just one problem: our numbers weren't doubling fast enough to satisfy the venture capitalists who had backed us in the first place. We tried everything, but eventually I had to lay off three-quarters of the staff - including many good friends. I couldn't stay in San Francisco, so I moved to Provo, Utah and kept Gumroad afloat on my own while I figured out what to do next. I went back to writing and painting, and that reminded me why I had built the business in the first place. I loved to create! When our lead investor offered to sell ownership back to Gumroad for $1, the future came into focus. I could start again and grow the kind of meaningful business focused on creators that we always should have been. In February 2019, I published a Medium essay, “Reflecting on My Failure to Build a Billion-Dollar Company” that struck a chord with millions of entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs who, deep down, would much rather build a sustainable business like Gumroad than chase a VC-backed unicorn. I wrote The Minimalist Entrepreneur and created the course to help anyone design, build, and successfully grow their own right sized business. Now, let's get to it!"

Sahil Lavingia is CEO of Gumroad and author of The Minimalist Entrepreneur. Many of our recent guests are recently-forged pioneers in the creator economy space, but Sahil has been building the passion economy since before it was cool. In 2011, Sahil founded Gumroad to help creators sell content directly to consumers. He was 19 at the time.But this episode isn't strictly about the passion economy, though we do chat about ideas like gatekeepers and shifting creator incentives. Much of today's discussion is Sahil reflecting on his ambitions to build a billion dollar company.Though Gumroad today is widely used by creators of all different sizes, its success story is not without growing pains. A decade ago Sahil raised venture-backed money to try to scale Gumroad at light speed. He details the lessons he learned trying to keep up with the aggressive timeline of venture capital firms. For better or for worse, he found that Gumroad only grew as quickly as the market determined they would grow. Now, Sahil fancies himself a "minimalist entrepreneur." He elaborates on what that means in today's episode and in his new book.For full show notes, links, RSVPs to live podcast recordings and more, visit thedeepend.substack.com

Sahil earlier this year raised $5 million in one of the fastest filled rounds ever on Republic, and plans to open up future crowdfunding rounds when needed. Gumroad is a digital marketplace where users can sell memberships, courses, books and other services and is built on the idea that creators can control their own business infrastructure by building an audience and using an internet connection. Sahil talks about the long journey for Gumroad, why investing is increasingly liquid, and how crowdfunding as a tool will need continued support and development from the private sector (entrepreneurs, platforms) and incremental modifications in policy from the government. Scott and Sahil also talk about his book (released Oct 26th) and how his experiences, beliefs and conviction that entrepreneurs need less than they think they do to get started and laying out simple steps for founders to build their businesses.

In this episode of Masters of Community, we speak with Sahil Lavingia, Venture Capitalist at shl.vc and Cofounder and CEO at Gumroad. Gumroad exists to help every creative earn a living selling the products they make directly to their audience. Previously, he was the second employee at Pinterest and worked on Turntable's mobile apps. Crowdfunding has become a great, viable option for entrepreneurs in the US ever since the SEC raised the crowdfunding limit to five million dollars. In this episode, Sahil talks about why crowdfunding is a great direction to take for businesses looking for investment. He also explains the origins of Gumroad, how his personal boundaries helped him make Gumroad a lean and efficient business, and how he raised a five million dollar crowdfunding round for the company. This episode explains how a VC's approach to doing business is different from entrepreneurs who build those businesses. Sahil also gives an overview of why minimalist entrepreneurship is important and how entrepreneurs can explore this path. Who is this episode for? Entrepreneurs, VCs, and those looking for guidance on crowdfunding and a minimalist approach to entrepreneurship. Three key takeaways: 1. Why is Minimalist Entrepreneurship Important?: Entrepreneurs have to be introspective and find more fulfilling goals for themselves - a middle ground of where they can be happy with their progress - because not all businesses can turn into one-billion-dollar companies. In this episode (and his book), Sahil explores how entrepreneurship is a way of doing any kind of business and not just a singular career path. 2. A More Thoughtful Approach to Entrepreneurship: Start with a singular focus on profitability and make your company sustainable. Make the community a pillar of your business. First, define what kind of business you don't want to build and use that to define the type of business you want to run. Sahil explores this idea further in this episode and his book. 3. The Difference Between the Approach By VCs and Entrepreneurs: Entrepreneurs do a single business for multiple years/decades. VCs don't care for entrepreneurs being able to run a business for ten to twenty years. Their major concerns are metrics that show how efficiently a company they invested in is being run. VCs have a different risk profile because they manage multiple businesses in a single year, and if one fails, they have other businesses to concentrate their efforts. Notable Quotes: 1. “What I love about crowdfunding is that it basically takes two of those cohorts and sort of those two constituencies and merges them together. Creators can be customers. They can also be investors in the company and they can of course work for the company too.” 2. “Profitability means sustainability, which is kind of like having your own book versus venture capital, which often feels like you're treading water, you're looking at your burn rate and you're like, something needs to change here. I'm going to eventually run out of oxygen. And so that's like the first thing is like, I think a lot of people need to think about building businesses where there's revenue coming in, basically from day zero.” Answers to rapid-fire questions: 1. What's the weirdest community you've ever been a part of? His oil painting class with retirees. 2. One tweet-sized piece of deathbed advice for the rest of the world? Build stuff and do it in public because building stuff is for other people and doing it in public is the best way to make friends. Answers to audience questions: 1. What is the strongest piece of advice you have for community builders when facing perceived failures? Be open and transparent with everybody. When Sahil laid off fifteen out of twenty people at Gumroad, his team was receptive because they knew of his difficulties in raising funds for over three months. Sahil also maintains the same level of transparency about company culture with anyone who joins Gumroad as an employee. 2. What are some key differences you see between being an entrepreneur and a freelancer? Entrepreneurs are really associated with the thing that they're building. The beauty of freelancing is that you have a low-ego kind of approach to building stuff. 3. What was your first experience in a virtual community? In Singapore, Sahil learned iOS development at iTunes University.
