Ian is back in the US of A hanging out in California, while Dan’s living the high life in Hong Kong. The guys are looking forward to joining up in Vietnam next week, but for now, it’s time for the LBP. This week’s topic came in from Trevor Pirtle from Real Life English who asked Dan and Ian to dig deep and spill the beans on their unorthodox but powerful ways to grow a community. He also wanted to know some of the common misconceptions people have about community building. Set it and forget it? Forget it… 2 misconceptions about building a membership community that could save your business. How to embody the connector’s mentality. The beneficial reading concept and how you can learn something from everyone. Why advocating for ideas and not purchases can be the key to success. The downfall that is the marketers mentality and what to do to avoid it.

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.
