Category: About Omar

Hate your day job? Is your own business stagnating? Are you feeling powerless? Sad? Angry?

Good.

When it gets bad enough, you have one of the greatest advantages an entrepreneur can have: motivation that outranks your fear.

Today, we discuss how to use a rock-bottom low point in your professional life as a launching pad for independence. Omar will share how all the success we’ve built with The $100 MBA and our software company started with a bad day — the day he was passed over for a promotion. 

That slap in the face hurt. It was also a tipping point, and proof that your worst moment can take the shape of an open door.

Learn how to reframe failures, frustrations, and unfair treatment. Use the most uncomfortable feelings you experience as fuel for change. Embrace the pain, and turn it into gain. Click Play!

There’s a magic to the number 10,000.

For an entrepreneur, $10k in monthly profit represents the moment you’re no longer trying to achieve independence — you have it. 

So why is it so hard to get to?

The journey to 10k is likely the steepest hill you’ll have to climb on the way to success. That hill tends to weed out most would-be entrepreneurs, leaving only the ones who can truly make it. Today, we’ll discuss the common challenges that end so many people’s dreams, and how to navigate them.

Plus, we’ll share the business model that makes $10k/month much, much more attainable.

The best part: the way to 10k isn’t only about hussle. It’s about working smarter, and setting yourself up to reinvest so that $10k is only the beginning. Think long term, and make sure your hard work has the biggest ROI possible. With the right roadmap, you can make it. Click Play!

Every entrepreneur’s mantra should be this:

“I can only do so much.”

Starting and running a business is never easy — but there’s a line between “not easy” and detrimental to your health. Moreover, working too hard for too long is simply, objectively unsustainable. For anyone.

It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’ve got a listener who runs a business that’s doing ok, but only as long as the founder keeps the candle burning at both ends. The breaking point is on the horizon, but our listener is convinced that taking a breather will spell disaster.

We’re not so sure about that.

In this episode, we explain why taking on too much isn’t just bad for you personally. It’s bad for your business. We’ll explore strategies to diagnose why you might be overworked, and steps you can take to lighten the load.

Don’t sacrifice your ability to run your business by running your business too hard. Click Play!

Google is a fickle master.

Your traffic depends on your content’s ability to rank. For better or worse, Google is the #1 search engine, which means SEO (Search Engine Optimization) basically means appeasing Google, whatever it takes. 

…and what appeases Google changes all the time.

In its effort to bring people the best results (and keep up with SEO pros trying to game the system), Google makes regular adjustments to the algorithm that determines where your website shows up in the search results. 

If you want traffic, you have to stay on top of the latest changes. Otherwise, you risk the “slap.”

Today, we explain what happens when Google makes a change that suddenly drops your site down the rankings like a ton of bowling balls. More importantly, we discuss what to do about it, and how to know when it’s time to take action.

SEO isn’t a once-and-done thing. It’s a full-time job. Click Play!

SEO for Bloggers

For a business, social proof is everything.

There’s no better marketer or salesperson than a happy customer with an honest recommendation. A great testimonial or case study is worth a thousand paid ads, conversion-wise. 

But of course, getting that social proof can be laborious, awkward, and time-consuming. 

…but it doesn’t have to be.

Today, we share our system for getting loads of social proof the smart way: through automation. By setting up a simple system, you can take a “set it and forget it” approach to generating all the kind words you’ll ever need. It doesn’t waste your time or the customer’s, and it works!

Hear our system, and apply to it your own business. No matter how hard we work, there’s a limit to how much trust we can earn from the market by ourselves. But by enlisting people who can see your product from a user perspective, you can 10x the effectiveness of every campaign. 

Turn the genuine satisfaction your customers feel into leads and sales — without breaking a sweat. Click Play!
