The Do What Is Necessary Podcast
by Andrew Moon
Let's be honest: building a company from nothing is incredibly hard. It has been for me. I started my entrepreneurial journey at age 8. Yep, you read that right....8! Since then, I've started, run and sold multiple businesses with no partners and no funding. All my life I've had to build something from nothing, and that's what I've gotten really great at - tenacious, creative and extremely smart strategy coupled with hard work. Welcome to The Do What Is Necessary podcast—I’m your host, Andrew Moon.Listen in as I share all the mistakes I’ve made and, more importantly, what I’ve learned from them, with no fluff, and no rose-colored glasses. The Do What Is Necessary Podcast is a show where we cut through the toxic hustle and grind mindset and dig into what it actually takes to start and grow a “calm business”. Calm is family first. Calm is more independence. Calm is sustainable practices for the long term. Calm is joyful. Running a calm company is a choice. I’ll be giving unfilt

32: Breaking Free - Escaping the Stranglehold of Entrepreneurship
🎬 This week's episode was inspired by a call I was on this week. I was talking with a good friend who sold his IT business like me. He started a new company, but is finding himself TRAPPED....AGAIN!!!! His new business has the same choke hold that his IT business had on him. That was one of biggest reasons he sold it. Now he doesn't know what to do. He's working nearly 7 days a week with staff now in 5-6 time zones. He's crushed by the weight of managing all of this NOW while raising 3 kids.If any of this sounds familiar: please know that you have a CHOICE. Break free from the choke hold by taking control.

29: Stop Setting Goals! Do this instead.
Are you tired of constantly setting and chasing after goals, only to feel like you're running in place or falling short? If so, it may be time to consider a different approach. Instead of focusing on specific outcomes, try creating systems to guide your actions and progress.Systems are a powerful tool for achieving success and reaching your potential. They provide a framework for consistent action and adaptation, and can help you build the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in a variety of situations. By establishing a set of habits and practices to follow, you can create a path to long-term success and fulfillment.In this episode, I'll explore the top five reasons why it's better to create systems instead of goals.I’d like to share a few techniques that will help, if you put them into practice.https://orangenomad.com/podcast#msp, #linkedinlive, #productivity, #entrepreneurship, #dowhatisnecessaryIf you'd like to support this podcast, you can go to http://www.buymeacoffee.com/OrangeNomadAs always, thanks for listening….

26: Unlock Your Inner Creativity
In a study by IBM, about 60 percent of CEOs polled cited creativity as the most important leadership quality, compared with 52 percent for integrity and 35 percent for global thinking. Why?

25: How the Feeling of Pointlessness Can Derail Us
Something I’ve noticed that derails a lot of people’s goals or attempts to form habits is the feeling that it’s pointless to even try.If it feels like it won’t matter if you do anything … why would you try? And so when people feel this, they will usually give up, understandably.But if we want to break through this barrier, then the opportunity is to learn how to work with this feeling of pointlessness.Let’s look at how to recognize the feeling of pointlessness, and then how you might work with it to create something new. 👉🏻 https://my.orangenomad.com/podcast#msp, #linkedinlive, #productivity, #entrepreneurship, #dowhatisnecessaryIf you'd like to support this podcast, you can go to http://www.buymeacoffee.com/OrangeNomadAs always, thanks for listening….

24: Turning Fear Into Action
I was having a discussion with a coaching client recently who is holding himself back from doing the purposeful work he thinks he wants to pursue.What’s holding him back?Fear of putting himself out there in public. Fear of failure. Fear of being judged. Fear of choosing the wrong path. Fear of not being good enough.Do any of these fears sound familiar? They’re very common, and hold a lot of people back from pushing themselves into the discomfort and uncertainty of meaningful work.These fears cause us to procrastinate, distract ourselves, comfort ourselves with food and social media and shopping and games, avoid even thinking about it, and beat ourselves up for not doing anything.If we could deal with these fears, we’d be rock stars.I’d like to share a few techniques that will help, if you put them into practice.#msp, #linkedinlive, #productivity, #entrepreneurship, #dowhatisnecessaryIf you'd like to support this podcast, you can go to http://www.buymeacoffee.com/OrangeNomadAs always, thanks for listening….

Overstimulation is the cause of our inability to focus on anything significant or challenging in our lives.We'd rather sleep in our beds and surf through social media than accomplish things we're enthusiastic about. Alternatively, we may spend the entire day playing video games till our eyes dry up. We do this because we want to experience the rush of discovery that comes with discovering something new and controversial.Unfortunately, not handling the hard stuff of running your business, like marketing for instance, will eventually kill your business.Let me explain more, and some practical steps on how to be more aware of it. --> https://my.orangenomad.com/podcast#msp, #linkedinlive, #productivity, #entrepreneurship, #dowhatisnecessaryIf you'd like to support this podcast, you can go to http://www.buymeacoffee.com/OrangeNomadAs always, thanks for listening….

22: Is Learning To "Sell" Optional?
Although not everyone is born with the ability to sell, it is necessary to stay in business.It is true that some people have a natural ability to sell. Others may stand on the sidelines in astonishment as a naturally gifted salesman turns a perfectly ordinary product into a must-have for a potential buyer. (think Steve Jobs) Natural selling ability can elicit strong feelings, including the envy button.I used to think "selling" was a dirty word, but I have since embraced this necessary skill and have actually learned to love it. On this episode, I share what I did to change. --> https://my.orangenomad.com/podcast#msp, #linkedinlive, #productivity, #entrepreneurship, #dowhatisnecessaryIf you'd like to support this podcast, you can go to http://www.buymeacoffee.com/OrangeNomadAs always, thanks for listening….

21: There Is NO Easy Button!
“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” – Thomas A. EdisonI just want to remind you. There's no shortcut. There's no easy button. There's no trick. There's no looking at somebody else and asking "How do they do it?" that I don't know. Well, you may not know it, but it's not a secret. Any basic search engine, any book you read, listen to enough podcasts, you go to enough events. You'll learn it.The secret of business success, and a lot of. It's just hard work. A lot of it is a learning as you go along and improvising, but the core tenants to business, as I talked to those of you who are trying to grow solo businesses, the smallest of small business owners is really simple. On today's episode I talk all about the 5 basic tenants to make any business a success.

19: 5 Ways to Simplify Your Life
For the last 8 years, I’ve been living a (relatively) simple life. At times, the complexity of my life grows, and I renew my commitment to living simply.Living a simple life is about paring back, so that you have space to breathe. It’s about doing with less, because you realize that having more and doing more doesn’t lead to happiness.It’s about finding joys in the simple things, and being content with solitude, quiet, contemplation and savoring the moment.I’ve learned some key lessons for living a simple life, and I thought I’d share a few with you.If you'd like to support this podcast, you can go to http://www.buymeacoffee.com/OrangeNomadAs always, thanks for listening….

18: No Fakecations Allowed
When someone takes a vacation at your company, (yourself included) it should feel like they don't work there anymore. You should be encouraging them to go completely dark.Turn their computer off, delete Outlook from their phone, don't check in. Go away for real. Be gone. Off your grid.The whole purpose of a vacation is to get away. To not only be somewhere else entirely, but to think about something else entirely. Work should not be on your mind. Period.But the reality is that most entrepreneurs end up taking a "fakecation", if they take any time off at all.When was the last time you actually got to disconnect? I mean for real? Not for a weekend, but for weeks. When you didn't feel any guilt or urge to check in and check up on work.Very few entrepreneurs can claim such a thing nowadays. That's a tragedy, and a recipe for burnout.Fakecations put you on a leash - you're liable to be yanked back and pulled into work at any moment. We all start our business with the idea that we'll be able to get the time off we need. That's supposed to be one of the key benefits. Time off isn't much of a benefit if you never get it. It becomes more like a crappy loan with terrible terms. Plus interest. And worries. Enough is enough.Just because you own a business doesn't mean that your company should be entitled to ALL of your night's, weekends, or vacations. That's life time. True emergencies are an exception, but those should only happen once or twice a year max.When your company acts like it owns all of yours (and your employee's time), this breeds a culture of neurotic exhaustion. EVERYONE needs a chance to truly get away and reboot. If your employees are denied that, or you deny yourself that, you'll both end up tired and resentful.Clearly, time off is necessary, but only if you can take it without preoccupying yourself with more work. So, how can you do that as the committed entrepreneur you are? Listen to this podcast episode to find out what the definition of "fakecation" is, and why it's time to institute a No Fakecations Allowed policy -#msp, #linkedinlive, #productivity, #entrepreneurship, #dowhatisnecessaryIf you'd like to support this podcast, you can go to http://www.buymeacoffee.com/OrangeNomadAs always, thanks for listening….

As we are two years removed from the Great Lockdown, I have recently found myself struggling to get back into a state of Flow. I've had some recent life changes, like buying a new (100 year old) house.

16: How to Spot Burnout (Before It's Too Late)
Entrepreneurship is challenging to say the least. Some days it's just downright exhausting. For many entrepreneurs there. There comes a last straw breaking point. Where the conditions are so stressful and so overwhelming. That it just seems impossible to continue. But for most others, the eventual loss of passion for entrepreneurship. Better known as burnout. Is something slower and more gradual. It's a creeping feeling that grows day after day. And eventually begins to affect your work performance.If you'd like to support this podcast, you can go to http://www.buymeacoffee.com/OrangeNomadAs always, thanks for listening….

13: Beware Of 'Shiny Object' Syndrome
In your daily life, you will experience the glow of shiny object syndrome today, tomorrow, or someday. You must first comprehend what it is, why it occurs, and how to deal with it. When family or friends discuss how work is going, they frequently bring up the most recent news. They describe what is going on and how it affects them. Unfortunately, many people's descriptions seem like they're suffering from shiny object syndrome (which I'll explain later). Their story reflects their intellectual and emotional fatigue. Organizations and people (including you) are understandably looking for "it" in the form of ideas, technology, or processes to help them innovate and grow. They may, however, swiftly adopt a solution only to renounce it later. This is referred to as "shiny object syndrome." Let's have a look at what we've got.

11: Have Less To Do
When you're feeling worried and overwhelmed by life's apparently never-ending rotation of duties and responsibilities, the last thing you want to do is do less. But, almost always, that's exactly what needs to happen. Similarly, if we can't keep our homes organized, it nearly always indicates we have too many things to try to keep in order, if we can't get through our days without feeling completely overwhelmed, it means we're trying to take on too much at once. Trying to cram too much into your schedule won't help you be more productive. It reduces your productivity.On this episode, I break down why time mangement hacks don't work, and the ONE thing you need to manage each day.If you'd like to support this podcast, you can go to http://www.buymeacoffee.com/OrangeNomadAs always, thanks for listening….

10: The Problem With Goals
The idea of having concrete, achievable goals seems to be deeply ingrained in our culture.In the past, I’d set a goal or three for the year, and then sub-goals for each month. Then I’d figure out what action steps to take each week and each day, and try to focus my day on those steps.Unfortunately, it never, ever works out this neatly. We all know this. You know you need to work on an action step, and you try to keep the end goal in mind to motivate yourself. But this action step might be something you dread, and so you procrastinate. You do other work, or you check email or Facebook, or you goof off.And so your weekly goals and monthly goals get pushed back or side-tracked, and you get discouraged because you have no discipline. And goals are too hard to achieve. So now what? Well, you review your goals and reset them. You create a new set of sub-goals and action plans. You know where you’re going, because you have goals!Of course, you don’t actually end up getting there. Sometimes you achieve the goal and then you feel amazing. But most of the time you don’t achieve them and you blame it on yourself.Here’s the secret: the problem isn’t you, it’s the system! Goals as a system are set up for failure.Today I break down my issues with goals, and a new mindset I'm learning to embrace.LINKS MENTIONED THE SHOW:https://zenhabits.net/no-goal/If you'd like to support this podcast, you can go to http://www.buymeacoffee.com/OrangeNomadAs always, thanks for listening….

09: Your business is NOT your baby. Period.
How often have you heard someone refer to their company as their baby? Maybe you've done that yourself. I've had that same feeling myself and I've had that same viewpoint in the past with past businesses. Given the blood sweat in emotional tears that we pour into our businesses, it seems like a logical analogy, but there comes a time when we have to take a step back, and view our businesses in a different light. The early stages of your business growth may require constant attention. When you first start out, it's just like having a kid. I remember when my son was born. I mean, if you're a parent, you understand this. They can't do anything for themselves. You have to do everything for them. But after a certain point of time, you should be able to relax a little bit and especially when it comes to sleep. I remember when my son was born, every two hours he either needed fed or changed. But at some point he started sleeping through the night. And I think that we know this was probably like month four or month five, he started sleeping through the night. So at some point they grow up at some point they wipe their own butt. So it's the same mentality we need to take her with our businesses. And today I want to talk about three reasons why you should ditch that mentality that your business is "your baby".

Become the entrepreneur you've always wanted to be! Put your money on yourself! Excuse my passion, but there are far too many wonderfully bright people who are content with their current situation, aka a job, because they are afraid to risk it all. Don't be the one that gets caught in the middle of success! I have no ill will toward those who work. However, that should not be your sole focus and effort on a daily basis. You must have a side business, something you are enthusiastic about, and something you are growing for yourself. Enough is enough with placing your entire destiny in the hands of others. Betting on oneself is the quickest road to success. Period! So, here are five methods to go about it...

06: How to Leverage Being an Introvert
For many years, I mistakenly assumed that because I'd spent the majority of my professional life building companies, conducting sales meetings, and speaking engagements, I was an extrovert. I didn't understand why I needed full recovery days of silence after delivering training courses or a day full of meetings until I realized I was a true introvert trying to pass myself off as an extrovert.Today, it's not uncommon for me to plan my leaving so that I don't get inundated with party invitations. To protect my energy, I've learned to set kind boundaries and not apologize for being myself. Nothing makes me happier than snuggling up with a blanket, reading, writing, or watching a TV show with my family. In fact, I've discovered that the more time I set aside for self-reflection, the more present and effective I can be in people-oriented events.I wish I had learned this sooner. 02:11 - The World Is Built for Extroversion 3:55 - Growing as a Leader Meant Accepting My Introverted Power3 Myths That Will Hold You Back as an Introverted Leader5:34 - Myth #17:01 - Myth #28:13 - Myth #3If you'd like to support this podcast, you can go to http://www.buymeacoffee.com/OrangeNomadAs always, thanks for listening….

05: A Minimalist Approach To Business
As a culture, we've come to believe that when building a business bigger is always better. More revenue, more employees, more followers, more square feet, more locations. Those are the metrics that impress people, but can this relentless pursuit of more backfire? Today I want to talk about why staying small is the next big thing for business, why I think it's time to rethink growth as the status quo, how social media has changed the way we think about success and the three questions you should ask yourself before working towards any goal.1:30 - MORE ISN'T ALWAYS BETTER4:09 - 3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF5:35 - HOW SOCIAL MEDIA HAS CHANGED OUR VIEW OF SUCCESS7:07 - ACQUISITION/GROWTH VS.
