Vigilante's "Mind Your Business" Radio Show

[Vigilante]

Thank you so much for this show Vigilante!

We do it for people like you. We only want this week's show to be better than last week's.

So far, I think we have beat the last week 4 weeks in a row. Tomorrow should be no different, but you be the judge.

I look forward to your comments.

eBay. Doesn't. Compete. With. Their. Sellers.

and Etsy doesn't compete with its sellers, nor themeforest, nor Udemy, it's called a marketplace business lol

I am loving the show! I got a lot of catching up to do.

 

[pickeringmt]

Yeah, the show is awesome. I got to catch up on several episodes the other day while I was packaging product in the early morning.

Great stuff!

Listening to the most recent one now. There was a commercial that played and the volume was VERY high compared to your show.

Here's some news for Mind Your Business fans : Rachel will be "third wheeling" on the Up and At 'Em show with Jack and Andrew

Good for her! Is radio something she's interested in?

Personal Mail Box - A PMB is like a P.O. Box but is not operated by the US government. I have a person that sits and waits for my mail to be delivered 6 days a week for $15/m. I never have to deal with missed deliveries. Many PMB operators will allow you to use apartment, suite, etc in the address as long your correct number is there. The US Postal Service does not allow this.

Like what they offer at the UPS store?

Learning.

- Get a kindle. A used one only costs $35. Bring it everywhere and read while waiting for people/places/etc.
- Used books from Ebay or Half.com. If the book is not on Kindle, I can usually get it from one of these sites.
- Small Business Administration (SBA) and SCORE. Free/low cost help and information!​

Our last show was all about the SBA.

Got nothing doing until tonight, so binge listening.

Vig does not look or sound anything like I imagined. Out of all fastlaners that I've met/seen only @Roland actually fit in to my preconceived idea haha.

Also the girl has a nice voice.

Okay, back to the podcast.

 

[miked_d]

You can also use the kindle app on your phone. That's what I do, then if I want to make notes about something, I just pop over to evernote right then and there.

I can't see the phone that well, even with my glasses. I just find it easier to read on the kindle.

Dave just curious as I'm listening right now to the SP podcast... did you have to license the intro music by Dire Straits or is that licensed through the station?

 

[Vigilante]

It was a little rough due to a content change, and due to the fact that he was brand new... but like in all things it's a game of repetitions. We had fun doing it, though.

 

[Vigilante]

Looking forward to it! This will be my first episode of the show.

You can get them all from :

We're coming back this Saturday for the first blast of 2015 of Mind Your Business... with an "Entrepreneur's Tool Kit" talking about free resources we use every day, from how we use Gmail to Dropbox, etc...

We'll also touch on GoDaddy, BigCommerce, Feedback Genius, and a few other tools we use all the time. We'll also talk about how to negotiate office space or virtual offices with Regus.

Anything you want to add? We can make some honorable mentions if you have "must use" resources for entrepreneurs that don't cost much if anything.

What resources do you find critical for a start-up entrepreneur?

Do you do paid "endorsements" like for the trackingsoftware solution trackingyoulove.com/trackingyouneed.com
or is there a way to create a segment about it? I am not sure how to reach you in person, so let me know.

 

[Vigilante]

And on that note... I have spent the week hanging out in Florida taking in some sunshine and planning 2015... so we're not going to do a show this weekend. I will let you know when the next episode comes out so that you can get your fix.

 

[miked_d]

Love your feedback. We're experimenting. Interestingly enough, we have had the most positive feedback about the auto show of any of the shows we have done to date...too soon to tell if it will have the most downloads.

I tried to make my criticism constructive and thanks for letting me know others reactions. I also figured you two were Ford guys based upon what you drive.

I did listen to the whole thing and was amazed at the Amazon numbers.

Looking forward to the next one.

 

[Vigilante]

I am interested in your perception, but more interested in your wife's comments. Please elaborate.

I think I will deliver to you through the podcast the speech I was planning to give at the conference on the OODA loop....We will consider the OODA strategy from the vantage point of an intended victim in an emergency situation

Oh wow, that would be an amazing show! I wonder about things like this, so it would be great to have some thoughts in-mind, just in case. It's interesting to think how they could be applied to a business situation too.

If you are planning on listening to the show this weekend, please watch this video beforehand.

I counted 16

::edited by Vigilante to preserve the surprise::

How good are your powers of observation? Watch this video, and then tune in to the show on Saturday where we will talk about it:
