Recently, Planet Money took their podcast to the gym. They asked a member there (a big beefy fitness type) how often he worked out.

“I’m here at least five times a week,” he told them. He gave the Planet Money people his membership card to prove it. And the results were surprising.

They discovered that he was actually only at the gym two times a week on average. That’s less than half of the time he thought he was spending sweating to the oldies. Numbers, as they say, don’t lie.

You might be doing the same thing with your “business work-outs.”  Find out how you might be deceiving yourself and what you can do to stop it.

This is not an episode you want to miss.

In a recent blog post, I shared my Top 7 most influential business books of all time. These are the must-reads for every single entrepreneur. Today’s podversation guest is the author of the most commented and most popular book on that list.  

Michael Gerber published eMyth in 1995 and the world of entrepreneurship was never the same.  I was super excited to finally have the opportunity to talk to a walking legend.

At 78 years old, Michael’s got all the fiery passion of a guy who has been walking the talk for decades.  He shares with us his knowledge, experience and heart.  He even broke down how he thinks it’s possible for innovators like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates to consistently deliver the goods.

People don’t value something they get for free. You have probably heard this saying. It sounds true, doesn’t it? But is it really? I decided to examine this…

In marketing your business, giving someone something for free that can later result in that person hiring you or buying from you certainly works.

In this episode of the Big Shift, I examine why this works and how you can make the Free Principle work even better for you.
