Hey there, fellow hustlers! 🚀 Let’s talk about those big entrepreneurial and podcast YouTube channels that we all love to binge-watch. 🎥💡 Do you think they’re actually good to listen to for valuable insights, or are they more about giving us that feel-good motivation? 🤔
I’ve personally consumed tons of content from these channels and felt super pumped up afterwards, but then I realized I still didn’t have a clear roadmap to success in entrepreneurship. 😅 So, what’s your take on this? Do you find these channels truly helpful in guiding you towards success, or do you feel like they’re more about hyping you up?
Here are a few thoughts to consider:
– Sometimes, the flashy success stories on these channels can make entrepreneurship seem easier than it actually is. 💭
– Maybe it’s about finding a balance between motivation and practical tips that we can implement in our own entrepreneurial journey. 🔑
– Have you found any specific channels or podcasts that have provided you with actionable advice and strategies for success? 🎙️
Let’s share our experiences and insights so that we can all benefit from each other’s learnings. Drop your thoughts below! 💬 #CommunityDiscussion #EntrepreneurialSuccess #LearningFromOthers
My biggest recommendation is to understand that nobody actually knows what they’re doing in entrepreneurship.
You are inherently blazing a path, and there will be unexpected obstacles – I would use the podcasts & etc only as a way to normalize people experimenting on a similar journey. Look for trends and take what resonates with you, but don’t feel like you’ll be right or wrong in following in anyones exact footsteps.
I feel they help with what i call the lonesome. Which is that time no one wants to talk about building a business but you do
I listen for the mindset. What are they doing? How are they approaching things? What bothers them? What do they consider good moves and success? Things like that create a framework of awareness.
The Startup Therapy podcast.
It’s a mixed bag. Most are long on ideas and short on execution. MFM does pretty good and seems to keep getting better.
Hormozi only
I think they help you develop an entrepreneurial mindset and also find solace in knowing that other entrepreneurs have gone through similar things
Entrepreneurship is a response not a goal. You become one in order to accomplish something. For instance, “I wanted to bake pies all day, so I started a pie shop.” How one would operate a pie shop is completely different from how one would operate an auto dealer. If you listen to these podcasts, you should think critically about how their experience would apply to your business and reflect on whether it’s a good idea to listen to them.
That’s normal. You need an entrepreneurial mindset AND a clear plan of action to get things moving
Its however you take it! If you are listening to learn something, then you may learn a thing or too! If you’re listening as a distraction, then it may just be to feel-good!
My first million. I haven’t listened to it in I don’t know over six months or maybe closer to a year.
To some extent yes
It’s most helpful if you’re already doing something like sales, and you want to hear how others are doing sales. It’s way easier to relate to the concepts and apply them if you’ve done those situations before
A lot of these podcasts start off good, but then they just get in the trap of needing to create a never ending stream of content.
Hermo Benito, its in spanish but he has a real business in Spain, Mexico and the US, he is the real deal for anything e-commerce.
There are certainly things to learn, but as others have mentioned, the value may be contextual or general. I listen. And it can feel good.
Successful business (entrepreneurship) at its core is always the same though – and I think a lot of us might not be ready to accept what it always is.
Have you figured out what you’re selling? Or who you’re selling it to? If you haven’t, you’re a long way from even finding the starting line. If you have, then it’s mostly operational and financial (getting and filling orders profitably, at volume, while never running out of cash #10SecondMBA).
The entrepreneurial hype train tries to make you believe there’s a short cut somehow. Or that you’ll magically want to do, or have the money or connections to do, or have the skill to build and sell some of the few things that can be profitable at scale. For more of us there’s a gap. And while gaps can be filled, listening to podcasts, or taking the course they’ll try to sell you, will likely be the smallest part of what you need, or simply a distraction. They do know, however, what they’re selling and to who. Maybe that’s the first thing to learn from them.

The best way to learn is by doing.
* Try something.
* Succeed/Fail.
* Learn.
* Repeat.
Listen to podcasts, but take action.
they aren’t making the videos to teach you the ones that teach you are the ones that aren’t success stories. they are the ones that show you real time numbers or essentially how to(like how to set up amazon blah blah) and even then they are likely baiting you into buying something that has even more saturated information.
I used to listen to a LOT of podcasts between 2018-2022.
In my opinion, most are targeting the “wantrepreneurs” (when you want to become an entrepreneur). This is a very different set of people with different beliefs, needs, and priorities at that situation.
Almost 99% content are either mindset+stories+highlevel strategy. The issue is that once you are past the initial commitment of ‘jumping in and really starting”, you need entitely different set of mindset, toolsets, advise, and actual help.
We’re not thinking about how to leverage the attention economy at a high level, we are thinking about getting the PMF signal, what to do today, how to make payroll, how to get the third customer, and how to propritize family while chasing our ambition.
Not much content on the things that really matter!
Personally sometimes they inspire me, but other times I implement simple wisdom nuggets from them
