E. 14 - The Importance of Focus, How to Multiply Your Money, and One Life-Changing Week On a Cruise Ship with Cole Hauptfuhrer
Sometimes we’re our own worst enemy in our business.
We’re afraid to fail... so we don’t try new things.
We’re fearful about putting ourselves out there… so we don’t launch new projects.
We hold ourselves back from what’s possible when we swim in circles around that fear—especially when we allow it to keep us from taking action towards growth.
If you resonate with that, you’re not alone.
Fear is a common experience for many entrepreneurs—we even talked about fear and using our businesses as a tool for personal growth with Evan Horowitz in Episode 13.
But if you’re finding that fear is holding you back from taking action, it might be a good time to seek out someone who pushes you into the deep end, who believes in your capacity, and who encourages you and keeps it real. That person can be a friend, a family member, or even a business coach—whatever works! Having someone on your side who’s willing to say things you don’t want to hear might be just what you need to show your business who’s boss.
On today’s episode, I’m excited to speak with an old friend of mine and Steve’s, someone who rented a desk in our office, whose business we branded long ago, general boss of his life and business, Cole Hauptfuhrer.
Cole is the Chief Executive Fishmonger of Find Fat Fish, where he has been popping people’s stock cherries since 2010. He’s the author of 12 Steps to Your First Stock and the Supreme Leader of the Your First Stock Workshop.
Tune into this episode to hear:
How Cole is multiplying his money every year and why building his business is a key part of that
Where responsibility starts—and ends—when coaching people
The importance of focus and how we both love doing new things more
How one week on a cruise ship completely changed the course of Cole’s life, and what you can learn from it, too
