Noah Kagan

When we stack rank the recommendations from our guests this season, the clear unshakable favorites are The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey, The One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber, and The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt.

We also had high recommendations for Gary Keller's Million Dollar Real Estate Agent, Bob Berg's The Go-Giver, John Warlow's Built to Sell, Matthew Dixon's The Challenger Sale, Marcus Buckingham's Nine Lives About Work, Noah Kagan's Million Dollar Weekend, Kim Scott's Radical Candor, Dan Martell's Buy Back Your Time, Ray Dalio's Principles, Jacko Willink's Extreme Ownership, Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek, Marshall Goldsmith's What Got You Here Won't Get You There, Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, and Isaac Justison's recommendation, Getting Stuff Done.

And of course, the ultimate contrarian, Mike Whiston, proudly reminds us that he doesn't read books because they ruin movies.

If you had to start over tomorrow, where do you find your next clients? Mike Whiston goes all in on Crunchbase to target B2B companies that have raised at least $3 million in the last year because they're well-funded and under a strict investor mandate to show rapid growth.

And it comes from surrounding yourself.

And one idea I really like, which we came up with a client that used to work with Noah Kagan.

I'm not sure if you know Noah before.

Of

What is up, you sexy bastards? It is your boy Element, a.k.a.

Rabbi Can't Lose, a.k.a. Noah Kagan.

One of my favorite things is when I'm talking to people and they're like, you know what, you should really have a podcast.

I'm like, bitch, I do.

Right.

So there's people out there, I think, probably like the Pat Flynn's of the world and Noah Kagan and those thought leader types.

A lot of the folks in that group say something like when you're starting out, do stuff that doesn't scale, which sounds like what you're saying.

I mean, again, one of the things I tell people a lot is I don't have any original ideas because all the stuff that's going to work is thousands of years old.

So what does the average business owner do? For example, I'll get, I'll throw out some examples.

You can tell me if you think they're, they're good or bad, but these are things I've heard of people doing.

I think, again, I think Pat Flynn or Noah Kagan, or, you know, might've even been a hormonesy or whatever, you know, all these, all these people talking about this stuff.

You know, when someone new signs up to your mailing list, record a video answer and send it to them.
