Derek Sivers_Beyond Need & Happy to Be_5Qs

For this week's episode, the SHPC traveled across the deep wide ocean to a small green rock that goes by the name of New Zealand. And just did we find in our virtual travels? We found a cool dude known as Derek Sivers (www.dereksivers.org). Derek is the founder of CD Baby. This company is the largest online seller of independent music and has sold over $100M of music to over 150,000 independent musicians. Not only is Derek a talented and successful entrepreneur, but he also is a very accomplished writer with as many as 34 books to his name. One of his books that comes highly recommended from the SHPC and is great for any entrepreneur (or "wantrepeneur" for that matter) is "Anything You Want." It's a fabulous read that will make you think twice about the way one should approach building a business. In this episode, Nate gains a few wonderful insights from Derek that he has been needing to hear for a long, long time. One piece of advice that Nate took to heart is for him to stop being a "people pleaser" and being so dependent on the thoughts and expectations of people around him. Derek explains how he does just this and tells how it has really benefited his life. Do you have an obstacle in your life that you just can't get over? Tune in and listen to Derek's advice about how he overcomes difficult events in his life and how he disconnects from these and makes them his strengths. Derek talks about all this stuff and much, much more. Go ahead and download the episode today! Also, I'd like to hear any and all of your thoughts about this. Please be as respectful as you can.
