Ian is back on the Tropical MBA Podcast this week to talk about our next big idea, as well as answering some listener questions (thank you to all who’ve called our voicemail: 888-554-8428).
TMBA 224: Listener Questions, Like : "I Make $1,000 a Month, Now What?"
Since an angry fish seemed to have cut the internet wire in the ocean, Ian and I are cut off from one another. In his stead, Jesse “The Dominator” Lawler has stepped up to bring value to the masses. The listener questions continue to get better and better, so The Dominator and I are cruising through some of the quality questions from the past week, including one that I get asked a lot, “So I’ve made $1,000… now what?”.
TMBA 218 : The Consultant’s Handbook - How to Make Location Independent Income Quickly
We’ve gotten a few phone calls recently that set us off on a path to the discussion we had this week on the Tropical MBA Podcast. Making location independent income quickly is very doable, especially going the route of the consultant. There are a few keys to making it work the right way and eventually being able to move it into something bigger, and that’s what this episode is all about.

TMBA 190 (LBP158) - 1,000 True Fans, 100 True Customers, or 10 True Clients
Dan and Ian dig into some of the most talked about and effective online business models for the bootstrapping entrepreneur. They discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each but it also comes with a healthy dose of why you might not want to use particular business models. This episode is all about getting your business rolling, whether you’re looking to generate passive income or really start pounding the pavement. You’ll see that just because it’s popular, it may not be the best method over the long run and a little planning up front can get you off to a faster start, and provide explosive growth benefits in the future.
TMBA 170 (LBP144) – The 10 Point Business Diagnostic Test
Dan and Ian break out the microphone from Bali this week to run you through their 10 point business diagnostic test. Consider this episode like an oil change and engine check to make sure your business is on the right path and won’t break down along the way. The discussion will give you that quick gut-check we all need every once in a while to ensure our heads are in the right place. Definitely an episode to be taking notes on, these 10 points will help you get back in the fast lane and make significant progress in your business growth.
TMBA 164 (LBP141) - Rocking the Rockefeller Processes : “H” is for Hire
Dan and Ian are coming together again this week from across the seas. Ian graces us with his presence while still on his Tokyo trip with Dan getting his hands dirty down in Davao, Philippines. The fellas pull together this episode as the next chapter in the breakdown of the 1,000 Day Principle using the Rockefeller Process. This week’s discussion focuses on the next and perhaps most difficult step of growing your business through hiring employees. You’ll hear why the race to hire your first full time employee is often a crucial step in building a business instead of a job. Dan and Ian will open your eyes to the growth possibilities through hiring talent instead of ‘doing your own thing’.
