Entrepneurs are often creative types that think outside the box on a regular basis. The world, consumer needs and business (especially online marketing or sales/product services) are constantly evolving. Listening to podcasts from other entrepneur “gurus” are a great way to motivate you, keep you up to date with business trends, and even inspire you in your journey.
One “rags to riches” story comes from an inspiring podcaster and author, Dan Lok, who is a Chinese-Canadian entrepneur who went through 13 failed business attempts before havin success. He is now multi-millionaire author, business owner or partner in over 15 businesses, and best-selling author of books including: F. U. Money, The Art of War for the New Millennium: Sun Tzu’s Strategies for Winning In Business Today, and The Midas Touch: The World’s Leading Experts Reveal Their Top Secrets to Winning Big in Business & Life. His podcast is called Dan’s podcast Shoulders of Titans™, where he interviews some of today’s top entrepreneurs on how they have achieved success.
Other inspiring entrepneur podcasts:
- Do It Scared by Ruth Soukup. Ruth’s podcast is all about taking action despite your fears, hence the name “do it scared.” I first came across Ruth when I signed up for her course, Elite Blog Academy and have been following her podcast since it started. She also interviews many different entrepneurs and talks about their success stories and how they overcame their fears and obstacles. Ruth is my second favorite entrepneur inspiration aside from Dan Lok as I have personally had success with her course to starting an authoratitive and prosperous blog from start to finish. She now runs Activate, which takes the course a step further and coaches students one on one. She openly talks about her story, while not quite as rags to riches as Dan Lok, she went from being a housewife tight on money to a millionaire as well.
- Entrepreneurs on Fire by John Lee Dumas started the popular, successful, award-winning Entrepreneurs on Fire podcast to help educate and inspire young entrepreneurs. The podcast has interviewed over 2,000 industry experts including Seth Godin, Tim Ferriss, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Tony Robbins. New podcast episodes are rolled out every day of the week.
- Other worthwhile podcast mentions include The Tim Ferriss Show, The Successful Mind, Marketing Over Coffee, How I Built This, Recode Decode with Kara Swisher, Mixergy, Behind the Brilliance, and Smart Passive Income.
What You can Take from Dan Lok’s Success
Dan Lok is a true success story considering he didn’t even immigrate to Canada until age 14. What sets him apart from other aspiring entrepneurs? His drive and determination. He didn’t let his 13 failures deter him. Instead he learned from it and instead of giving up, he tried again and again, until he found success. Then, once he found success, he still continued to build and grow by not only copywriting, but also starting an advertising agency, and founding/partnering with over 15 busineses. He has written books, started a podcast, and talks about his success of earning a million dollars by age 27.
