If you want to hear why The Foundation process works, then you need to listen to this episode. Dan was one of the original 88 people that participated in The Foundation’s Software Roundtable – now he’s CEO of Follow Up Boss and generating millions of dollars in revenue. Dan and his partner developed Follow Up Boss for six months before joining The Software Roundtable. They had an idea, but they weren’t gaining traction with it. They realized they needed to niche down and The Foundation was able to teach them everything they didn’t know they needed to know to bootstrap a software business, while offering an extra layer of support and guidance along the way.

“I wish I had heard this interview two years ago. It probably would have saved a lot of hard times.” –Wyatt Jozwowski
Bootstrapping is great because it forces you to focus on what matters: maximum profit in the least amount of time, while maintaining the ability to reorient and make the best decisions. There’s also a fine line between making decisions that matter and making short-term decisions that hurt you in the long-term. To help you walk that fine line and make the best decisions for bootstrapping your startup, Wyatt Jozwowski & David Abrams share how they turned Demio’s rocky start into a successful launch and the lessons they learned along the way.

I have Ryan Moran on the podcast today because he has one of the coolest minds I have ever met in the entrepreneurial space. He is the Founder of Freedom Fast Lane, a business that inspires, educates, and empowers people to live extraordinary lives through the understanding that money and freedom are the result of who you become, rather than the other way around. Ryan is also the Founder of Capitalism.com, which exists to dispel the theory that the government is the best solution to problems, and it instead strives to empower individuals to take personal responsibility for their actions. “The more experienced I get in business the more I realize that the things that are hard to me are easy to someone else, and the things that are big to me are small to someone else. So we might as well just create whatever the heck we want in life, right?” In This Interview I Ask:
Business and Money “I really didn’t know how to be an entrepreneur. I just knew how to make money.” There is a difference between being an entrepreneur and making money. Entrepreneurs build something bigger than themselves and solve real problems with real customers. You can work your way into a high-paying job and be successful, but you aren’t building anything that’s yours. Are you building a brand, or are you selling things? For example, Ryan started selling yoga products on Amazon. He started with a yoga mat then he added blocks, towels and other yoga products. He made this decision because there was an audience that already existed, and he identified that audience as likely to be environmentally conscious. He carved a niche for the company as an environmentally-friendly yoga brand and created Facebook groups to target his audience. Starting a Business From Scratch “Who is the audience that you’re serving and how are you giving them a solution? If you can answer those two questions, everything else is super easy.” If you have never started a business and you have a goal to make more money, Ryan believes that there are two parts of the equation that you need to figure out. Before you figure these two things out, everything else is a distraction.
Losing His Religion Ryan was originally going to school to be a pastor. He was questioning his faith and running a business, so he ultimately graduated with a degree in business. Losing his faith made him angry for a while, but he found a place for faith and spirituality during his journey. Ryan is currently working on a documentary called Losing My Religion to tell the story of Ryan finding his truth. Spoiler: the opening scene features Ryan on his first mushroom trip. The Freedom Fast Lane “I believe the fastest path to financial freedom is to build a business and invest the profits.” At the Freedom Fast Lane, Ryan teaches entrepreneurial individuals how to build businesses and re-invest the profits – and he practices what he preaches. Ryan doesn’t take a salary from Freedom Fast Lane, he makes his money from physical product businesses and consulting. You can do the 10 Day Challenge to start on a path towards making more money, enjoying more time off, and living a life you love. Freedom Fast Lane Live 2016 will be in Austin, TX December 9th - 11th. They have an amazing lineup of speakers – Tom Bilyeu, Peter Diamandis, John Mackey, Cameron Herold and Alicia Silverstone – that were chosen because they are doing things the fastest and the biggest in the entrepreneurial space. If you go to Freedom Fast Lane Live 2016 because you listened to this podcast, email me at andy@thefoundation.com and I’ll send you my cell phone number. We will have a little get-together for The Foundation community. Resources
