Business Advice for Entrepreneurs

We’ve collected the best business advice for entrepreneurs from some of the most successful, entertaining, and insightful Stay Paid guests of the year.

For this week’s episode of Stay Paid, Luke and Josh combed through the interviews of 2020.

Each committed to picking three of his favorites.

The result is a list of some of the most successful, entertaining, and insightful guests and the Golden Nuggets they offer.

You’ll find the complete list of episodes below, but here we’ll pull out some of the larger themes.

Collectively, these episodes make for some of the best business advice for entrepreneurs you’ll find in any podcast.

And don’t be surprised if you hear how often different guests talk about the same themes.

They have their own unique spins, they emphasize different points, and they support their opinions with different stories and examples, but you’ll hear the same ideas brought up again and again.

That should make you feel confident the advice works.

• Stand out by doing the unexpected. No one raves about getting what they expect.
• Earn trust by being as visible as possible and becoming familiar.
• Keep taking risks if what you’re doing is staying true to yourself and your dreams.

• Track. Adapt.
