]]>In this episode Jeff Steinmann reveals all his insights on his book, How To Quit Working, where shares a simple plan to leave your job for a life a freedom.
In his book Steinmann provides flexible strategies, examples, and step-by-step instructions on what it takes to create your own business with the smallest amount of repercussions as possible. The goal of the book is to teach you innovative strategies for becoming an entrepreneur, how to overcome typical marketing barriers, how to develop a business idea while working, and how to find your ideal market.
This book is perfect for aspiring entrepreneurs who are currently working for someone else and are ready to take their entrepreneurial journey to the next level.
I tried really hard to eliminate all of the business words and just talk in plain simple English. I try to be really practical and tailor all of the information in the book to someone who is working a full-time job and trying to get out and start their own business.
I specifically designed the book to be read from front to back.
The concept that I want the reader to take away is to get away from this whole thought of success and failure. You have got to start to think about everything you do in terms of a hypothesis.
The most important thing for those working a full-time job and trying to quit and start a business is changing the way that you look at starting a business. You have to get away from what I call the idea mentality and the idea mentality is perpetuated by shows like Shark Tank. You have to get away from that idea and move towards the concept of figuring out what it is that people are already gravitating towards you for and that’s where your business has to start if you want to be successful and remain sane. Once you come up with your idea you will need to get the word out via social media or bulletin boards or church groups or any other way you see fit. From there you will want to figure out what problems people have with that particular topic and find ways the meet those needs and fix those problems. Now that you have that hypothesis you need to go out and test it and the way you do that is by asking people if they want to pay you money to do it. Your hypothesis is not proven until someone offers you money and it isn’t until then that you know you have an idea that is worth something.

“If social media is changing your life than you are on it too much.” – Jeff Steinmann
I am kind of like everyone else in that I went to high school and college and I thought there was no better option but to get a job. So I fell into a career in technology and did that for about 15 years and tried many times to escape the gravity of the corporate world and was unsuccessful many of those times. April 15, 2012 I was finally successful and I have been doing business in marketing consulting, real estate investing, and also building this great platform around how to help people quit their jobs and start a business.
The inspiration was to share the difference in terms of mindset, approach, and all those different kinds of things when wanting to quit your job and start your own business.

]]>In this episode Ken Horn shares his book, Everyday Entrepreneurs which was created out of the frustration of not finding all of the answers needed to start a business. This book is perfect for the wantrepreneur who is looking for a reference guide to validate their decision to start a new business. What makes Everyday Entrepreneurs different from other books is that it is based on the experiences of other people who have decided to make the leap in creating a startup.
This is a reference book written out of the experience I’ve had over the years working with thousands of people that have taken the leap of starting their own business.
It’s pretty light; it’s not a heavy read. My wife is my biggest critic and fan and read it in four hours. I really want people to walk away after reading it, wanting to start their own business. I would hope that once people pick it up, they won’t want to put it down.
The fact that this is the information that they need to know right now to launch their business. If you digest this information you will start a successful business for at least 6 to 12 months.
One of the responsibilities for people like myself is to provide people with enough information to go and start a business but most importantly protect them from the information that they don’t need.
The book starts out with all the things that you need to do before you start a business. Some of the research and characteristics that you might want to develop before you start. We talk about the Targets, vision and values of the business.
The second stage refers to the formality of setting your business up. The nitty gritty of the business such as how to create a business plan, what type of business do you want/need and the home and headquarters of your business.
The third stage is all about finance. It gets down to the basics of getting funded, profit and loss, and money management.
The fourth section is about understanding what you are selling and who are you selling it to. I give the reader inexpensive but very effective ways of broadcasting your business proposition, product or service. There are plenty of things we can do to promote or publicizes your business without spending a whole lot of cash.
“We provide people with the information that they need to know and we protect them from the information that they don’t need to know right now.” – Ken Horn
I am new to the book publishing business but been in the startup community for a good number of years. I’ve worked for different leading agencies for enterprise and business startup. More recently I have started my own nationwide field base program helping people startup on their own and providing them with the right level of advice that they typically need.
This book was born out of frustration. We needed more answers to the questions that everyday entrepreneurs have and I wasn’t finding them. That’s when I decided to write Everyday Entrepreneur, to encourage others out there that needed an extra push.
