For now, here's his business advice for first-time entrepreneurs who want to start a business:

"There's one incredibly painful mistake that I see new entrepreneurs make. It’s painful because it keeps them from success. They feel like they're working hard, but not making any progress. The mistake? Trying to do too many things at once."

"Focus on just one project & strategy at a time, you're more likely to succeed." @navidmoazzez


“Focus, by definition, means narrowing your field of vision and attention. It means choosing which opportunities, projects, and even customers you’re NOT going to pursue. And it’s really, really hard. When I first started online, I was trying to do it all: podcasting, writing epic guides, blogging and I wasn’t doing any of it well. I realized that each time I jumped from idea to idea, I was diluting my efforts."

It wasn’t until I decided to focus in on just ONE strategy, creating an incredibly high-value virtual summit, that I started to make serious progress in my business. After several months of super-hard concentrated effort, I launched the Branding Summit at the end of 2014, one of the largest virtual gatherings of experts on personal branding anywhere. I grew my email list by almost 3,000 highly engaged subscribers in a few weeks, and generated $20,000 in profit -- much more than I’d earned up to that point!"

"Choose the one thing that will move the needle for you and your business. When you try to be the best podcaster, blogger, author, business coach and event producer all at the same time, you end up being mediocre at all of them. Pick one (like learning how to master the art and science of cold emailing). Focus. And work it, hard. One piece of bonus advice: As a newer business owner, one of the biggest ROI's you’ll get is from investing in growing your email list. Whether you plan on offering a mastermind, writing books or producing online summits, you’ll need a powerful, engaged email list. Make that a focus from day one. If you want to hear the best advice that over 60 online experts and world-class business owners have on list building, check out the online event of the year, List Building School. It’s free, and it’s epic. Ryan here is one of our amazing speakers too!"

Quick Ways to Make Money - Do They Exist? by David L. Feinstein

We so often see people who have gotten themselves into a life that they just don't get excited about anymore. Usually they work a job that they really don't want to wake up for, and basically just dread the same old routine, and doing the same old carpool to work thing. It's prevalent in every part of the world and within every human. For those lucky enough to have found what they love to do, which really makes it not even work anymore, then God Bless them. They've probably worked very hard to get what they want and now are enjoying the fruits of their labors. For the rest of us it's not always so easy. We often toil languidly trying to figure out what it is that we like to do and end up waking up one morning to the dreaded alarm clock to send you off to the 9 to 5. It's a noble living, and those who work hard to raise their families deserve respect. They also deserve more and they know it. But here's the trap. The trap that people fall into is bui...
