51:The Importance of Loving What You Do – with Dan Norris




The Solopreneur Hour Podcast with Michael O'Neal  show

Summary: For episode 51, I chatted with the ever-evolving and driven Dan Norris, fellow podcaster and solopreneur. We talk Gary Vaynerchuk, Howard Stern, and Neil Patel…among many other great topics. Dan’s solopreneur background includes currently being the co-partner of WPCurve, a company that provides unlimited small fixes to your WordPress site for a small monthly fee of $69. Prior to WPCurve, Dan built and sold a web site business and learned tremendous lessons along the way; he even built a business in 7 days! In our interview he talks about that fun project, plus giving away business ideas as content, and working at things he loves to do (and things he doesn’t love). In this show you’ll hear Dan’s full commitment to building the most successful solopreneur lifestyle possible. In his words he said, “I won’t accept any situation in life until I’m successful.” And to him success equates to owning a business that doesn’t need his time & attention 12+ hours a day, something all of us as solopreneurs can relate to. He also gives his thoughts on fascinating subjects like: The magic formula for engagement with your audience. What it takes to be a great interviewer and who the best are right now. Is patience a virtue or a liability for solopreneurs Do you really need to find a niche? How to avoid failure all together. As someone who has successfully built and sold a business, Dan has genuine wisdom to share and he gives a ton of his knowledge in this episode!
