HTE 020: 7 Years to Overnight Success w/ Dan Norris
Today’s guest worked for a year and spent $60,000 on a software business that was generating a monthly loss of $1,500. He was 1 month away from needing to find a job.

HTE 019 Is This Startup Worth My Life? w/ Dan Martell
Being a father to a beautiful 9-year old girl, I find myself often repeating the phrase: 'Learn something new every day.' Unfortunately, like many things in life, I don't always do as I say --- but I am striving to change this.  During today's conversation I learned many things, but more importantly I learned something that has changed my way of thinking about business and life.

HTE 018 Don’t Look at What Other People Are Doing w/ Srini Rao
Writing is something that I have been focusing more time on, but I often still find it difficult to get started and conquer that blank page. All of the good writers that I have studied have said the same thing:  in order to write lots, you have to write lots. It really doesn't get any simpler than that. If you want to get good at anyting, then do that thing over and over and over again and eve...

HTE 017: Be Relentless and Go After What You Want w/ Ben Settle
I don’t know exactly when it was, but it was quite a few years back when I heard Ben Settle as a guest on the Copyblogger podcast Internet Marketing for Smart People. On the show he was talking about selling and writing copy, and he said something that I can very clearly remember. He said: When you are writing an ad or trying to market your product, don’t tell me about your weed killer, tell m...

HTE 016: Making Software is Easy, Marketing it is Not w/ Patrick McKenzie
This is the first interview that I did for Hack The Entrepreneur. Being in the business of selling software, I have admired Patrick’s work for years, so I was a bit starstruck at the beginning of the conversation --- all this aside, we get to some great stuff and have a few laughs (at ourselves) too. The conversation ran longer and not to the format that I have since adopted for my interviews...

Fast forward 3 years to my latest project VelocityPage and it took us 14 months from start to launch --- mind you the 3 of us did all have businesses to run and clients to keep happy, but still... Building and launching projects based on th...

HTE 003: Not Knowing What You Are Doing is a Beautiful Gift
As entrepreneurs we often become held back from implementing or taking action on ideas that we have. For many of us, this happens because we lack a specific skill that is necessary or we feel that our inexperience is stumbling block and barrier to entry for us. These feelings cause many good ideas to never be executed on and to die within us, but it doesn't have to be this way. In this episod...
