Time stamped show notes:

[1:09] Joe's journey – He was in the corporate world and stumbled upon content marketing.

[1:32] Launched his company in 2007 (like the eHarmony for content marketing)

[1:52] Started a blog at the same time.  

[2:00] The product failed so he went through feedback and noticed the blog was gaining traction.

[2:30] He used the audience from the blog to pivot the brand.

[6:] Why content marketing is important | Top things every content marketing should know

[7:49] Don't post everywhere. Ask yourself what that content is going to solve for your audience and then pick a platform.

[8:12] Build an audience and then build an email list.

[12:59] If you're prolific and consistent, your talent has no other choice but to catch up with you.  

[13:22] Focus on getting 1% better, because it compounds.  

[15:32] Just start somewhere. Get practice. Get things out there.  

[16:52] If you don't get up and do something, nothing changes.

[17:23] What he [Joe] wishes everyone knew about his industry or life

[18:52] Take some time and figure out what you have to offer.  

[19:33] Do a list of things that you don't like to do, or you're not good at, and find someone to do them.

[19:52] You can be an entrepreneur and not have employees. You can have contractors.

[22:36] Sell it before you create.

[24:30] You sell by what you communicate.  

[27:06] Don't micromanage. Trust people to get it done. Let them find the way.  

[38:43] Look at the problem and ask why.

[38:16] Wealth creation is solving people's problems.

Three key points:

  2. If you're prolific and consistent, your talent has no other choice but to catch up with you.
  3. Don't micromanage. Trust people to get it done. Let them find the way.
