DO ONE THING WELL? ERM, NOPE. For so long, we've been sold the mantra of doing one thing well. We need to specialise. To niche. To stay in our lane. And avoid Shiny Object Syndrome at all costs. But what if there was a different way? I've spent the last few years diversifying my income, and actively following Shiny objects. But I'm judicious, there is method to my madness. In this episode I'll tell you how I choose them, and when I lose them. My special guest is the fabulous Robert Gerrish of Flying Solo fame. His voice is like butter melting on wholewheat toast. Love his work.

Plugged & Unplanned is back and this week you'll hear Booktopia's CEO Tony Nash speaks with Robert Gerrish, founder of Flying Solo and the author of The 1 Minute Commute. Where do Australian businesses sit in the grand scheme of things? Are we unique or not? What do we do well and what can we improve on? Robert focuses in on our creative abilities and how he would like to see Australia become known as a country of creative entrepreneurial businesses. Tony then asks a question: is there a stigma around small businesses? Robert looks at how small businesses are seen by those on the outside and small businesses interacting and working with one another can change the way they are viewed by others.

Plugged & Unplanned is back and this week you'll hear Booktopia's CEO Tony Nash speak with Robert Gerrish, founder of Flying Solo and the author of The 1 Minute Commute. If you've ever had trouble selling yourself - particularly as a business owner - then you will want to listen to what Robert has to say about it. It's not an uncommon plight and the struggle to know how to sell oneself is as common as it is frightening. Robert goes into the mistakes people make when trying to sell their small business to consumers. There's a great little antidote about an accountant who struggled with this but then was able to apply new techniques to ‘sell himself' and what he did for a living in conversations. Now you might be thinking: not every small business can afford a coach or mentor. Not every business can afford formal training in these kinds of matters. But Robert has solutions for this too. Listen to Tony and Robert chat below for that and more! Books mentioned in this podcast: The 1 Minute Commute by Robert Gerrish —> https://bit.ly/2HzKk5A Host: Tony Nash Guest: Robert Gerrish
Having a good, strong and likeminded community around you is the bedrock of a successful podcast. Working out the best way to build such an audience may seem like a huge mountain to climb, particularly if you are new to the podcasting world. Luckily, we have the community building tycoon, Robert Gerrish on this week's episode of Should I Start a Podcast, giving his keynote speech from We Are Podcast, 2015. Robert is one of those guys who adores small businesses and creative entrepreneurs, that's why his career has always revolved around helping companies to succeed. He dabbled in multiple ventures - including music and art projects before deciding to jump ship, and move to hotter climbs, swapping London for Sydney. He co-authored the business bestseller, Flying Solo: How to go it alone in business, and developed his own agency, Flying Solo, Australia's micro and solo business community which currently has over 100,000 members. In this episode, Robert, introduces the novel idea of actually enjoying what you do for a living, as well as how to build a nice, solid community around your business. He also shares with us: Why Facebook groups, webinars and forums are great community building tools. How understanding your podcast voice will get the people you need on your side. Why taking your time getting things wrong can benefit you in the long-run. Why over delivering is a great way to maintain your audience. How growing your profile using online forums will improve your understanding of your audience. How respect is a key ingredient to running a solid community. Ways to use your podcast as a research tool of your audience and their needs. Why having smaller audience numbers is okay. Why slowing down can improve your show. How sticking with it takes courage. Why you are guaranteed to do mediocre work, but that's okay. Why responding on blogs will grow your confidence. How to own your community.

Plugged & Unplanned is back and this week you'll hear Booktopia's CEO Tony Nash speaks with Robert Gerrish, founder of Flying Solo and the author of The 1 Minute Commute. Did you know that over 74% of Australian small businesses are single person businesses? Tony and Robert discuss this rise of the single person business and how they allow their owners the flexibility to live how they want and test new ideas while maintaining a full-time career. Robert's experience with Flying Solo is in working with these solo entrepreneurs to plan and grow these businesses, not just in terms of the business but also in relation to personal well-being. He discusses how important it is for the solo entrepreneur to remain connected to the world - often many of these small businesses fold, not because the business fails but because the owner realises that the business is not good for them.

About Robert: Following a career in the marketing and design industry in London and Sydney, Robert made the leap to his own business in the mid-1990s. Seeing a niche in the area of support and resources aimed at the ‘one-person business', Robert launched the Flying Solo community in 2005. With a small team, he grew the business to a member base of over 100,000 Australian freelancers and entrepreneurs, before selling to Pinstripe Media at the end of last year. Back working solo, today Robert pops up regularly at conferences and events, supports individuals in the development of their ventures and hosts a series of podcasts including: “The Business of Bookkeeping” (for First Class Accounts), “The Flying Solo Podcast” and his own “Mellow Brick Road” a new show aimed at the older entrepreneur. His first book, “Flying Solo: How to go it alone in business” was a business bestseller and his latest, “The 1-Minute Commute“ will be published by Pan Macmillan at the end of July. Useful question from Robert: Here are examples of the coaching questions Robert used in his session. These are some of the things we can ask ourselves - ideally working with a buddy or a coach - that can open up new thinking and opportunities: What is the biggest challenge I have now? What steps am I taking regularly in response to that challenge? What am I wasting my time on? What is holding me back the most? Where am I out-of-balance? Where am I stuck? Where am I sabotaging myself? What one change in my life would make the biggest positive difference? If I knew I would not fail, and time and money were not issues, what three things would I most like to have, accomplish, or work toward?

Robert achieved that, only after a career in marketing and design in London, then relocating to Sydney in pursuit of a more balanced lifestyle, which he achieved. Helping small creative businesses at first, Robert transferred into coaching, becoming only the 2nd person in Australasia to achieve accreditation with the International Coach Federation. Realising that many people in his new country were keen to develop very small lifestyle-led businesses, this engaging chap started Flying Solo, an online community, which grew to over 110,000 Australian members before selling it to another publisher in 2017. Now in his early 60s Robert is working to support older entrepreneurs in the development and growth of great little businesses and has an online program to help, listen as he discusses that.

ProBlogger Podcast: Blog Tips to Help You Make Money Blogging
Tackling the Biggest Challenges of Being a Solo Entrepreneur with Robert Gerrish of FlyingSolo In today’s lesson, I have a real treat for those of you who spend most of your working life alone as solo-entrepreneurs. Over in the ProBlogger Podcast listeners facebook group this week I ran a little poll to see how many of you as listeners work alone vs work in teams. The results were as I suspected - 93% of you work alone on your blogs. Of the other 7% - most had family members or readers volunteer their time to help out a little with some small aspect of their blog but it was largely a solo venture. This is no surprise to me at all because in the regular surveys we do of ProBlogger readers and listeners we regularly get asked questions on some of the challenges that solo-entrepreneurs face. As a result for today’s episode I asked Robert Gerrish to join me. Robert is a coach, teacher and community leader who has a passion for solo business owners. He’s the owner of an Australian site - FlyingSolo and has recently put together an excellent resource for solo-business owners called Soloism. I chatted with Robert earlier today, and I asked him about some of the biggest challenges I see in our community of solo-entrepreneurs. We talk about productivity, focus, loneliness, personal development, motivation, feeling overwhelmed and how to get through times when things don’t seem to work. He also gives us some tools and apps that solo business owners will find useful. If you’re a solo-entrepreneur (or want to be) you’re going to relate to a lot of what we talk about in this episode. I came away from this chat feeling motivated and inspired for my own business and hope you enjoy it to. Listen to this interview in the player above or here on iTunes.

I’ve ran the ProBlogger Podcast listeners Facebook group this week, I ran a little poll to see how many of you as a listeners work alone versus working in teams. The result was as I suspected, 93% of you work alone on your blog. You don’t employ anyone, you don’t have anyone volunteering to help you in your blogging. Of the other 7%, most of you said that you had a family member or a reader volunteer their time or someone virtually offering their time in another part of the world. Of that 7%, most of you say you do spend most of your time alone as a solo entrepreneur even though you do have other people involved in the business. This figure of 93% or it’s probably 100% really is no surprise to me at all because every time we survey our readers, we find the same thing and we get a lot of questions from you as...
This week we're stepping back in time to revisit one of our all time favourite pods - and by the look of the stats one of your faves too. It's all very good and well to understand how to use modal verbs and where to place your colons, but seriously the hard fact is that no copywriting business will survey with our CLIENTS!! Sadly too many copywriting businesses fail in their first year because they simply can't find enough clients. Friends and family are a great place to start, but where on earth do you track down awesome potential clients with money to spend? So we thought it was a good idea to circle back around and revisit this pod and remind of our tips on how to grab more clients.
