How To Start Living Show (formerly How To Quit Working)

Kim Ades (in her words) is not a “corporate girl.” She worked for other people early in her career. The really interesting thing is that her employers LOVED her! She did great work managing their marketing, but in the pit of her stomach, she knew it just wasn't right. So she started her first business, which was very successful. But after selling her share of that business, she knew she had to do something she really cared about. Something that she could do that would give her the satisfaction of knowing she was making a difference in someone's life. Finally she discovered coaching. Not only did she discover coaching, she found a better way to do it. Now she runs a successful coaching business using that new technique.

Alex Genadinik started off going to college, but quickly was lured into all the cool stuff happening in Silicon Valley in the late nineties. Forget college, I'm going to go work for a tech startup. So, he set out to do just that. He was making good money, had stock options, so why bother with college? Then the tech company he worked for was bought. He saw the creators of the company make millions, while he made only a small amount of money. Then he realized he was on the wrong side of the company. He wanted to start his own. Armed with his technical and computer programming knowledge, and some innovative product ideas, he set out to do just that. But there was only one problem. While he had computer and programming knowledge, he didn't have business or marketing knowledge. Specific knowledge of a subject area is great, but by itself doesn't make a business. A successful business is a pairing of some knowledge with solid business and marketing expertise. In the end, Alex has created a successful mobile app bus

She would create beautiful, fashionable accessories for those ugly things and sell them. After all the costs of getting that company started, and with no money left to market them, she had to get creative. Christina dove into the wild world of free exposure through publicity.

Justin Brokop went to grade school just like everyone else. He was going about his life just like anyone else. Then something major happened. He was in a bad ski accident and spent several days in the hospital, eventually waking up with no recollection of what had happened. This traumatic event made Justin realize how lucky he was to be alive. At the age of 10, he became very aware of the value of his life and decided to NEVER take it for granted. So, he began reading self-improvement books. Starting with Steven Covey's famous Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, he dove into self-improvement head-long. Then, when he was in high-school, he felt like he simply had to make a change. High school wasn't giving him the education, motivation or challenge that he wanted.

Justin is going to talk about how you can find you

Jonathan Taylor was making great money in a really boring sales job. Every day, he got up and did the job. It was OK, paying the bills nicely but not getting him excited. Until one day, when the economy forced his company to downsize and he was left with a small child, a new house, and no income. He had to find another option. He began digging into lots of self-help stuff, like Jack Canfield, Zig Ziglar and The Success Principles. (By the way, if you think that stuff is too “out there” or “fru-fru” for you, consider that EVERY successful Lifestyle Fanatic soaks up self-help like a sponge and is always looking for more). Because he now had a totally new mindset about what it takes to get whatever you want and be a successful entrepreneur, he started leveraging existing relationships he had with small businesses and doing consulting with them. “The thing I've discovered about successful entrepreneurs is that they are not excuse-makers, they are doers.” That lead him to partner with a local colleague and create

While he was in law school, Jordan Harbinger and his buddy started a podcast called The Pickup Podcast (on which I recently appeared) just because they thought it would be fun and they wanted to share what they were learning about talking to women as they tried to turn their 19-year-old love lives around. They were having fun with it and everything was going OK. It was just a hobby. Meanwhile Jordan finished law school and started working at a big NYC law firm. Making big wall street lawyer bucks, he developed a taste for the finer things in life. Fast cars, a nice New York apartment and big bar tabs with friends. Suddenly, the music stopped.
