Ep #11: How Can Non-Techies Buy Online Businesses?

September 24, 2015 by Justin Cooke Leave a Comment

Subscribe to our VIP LIST Many first-time buyers get excited about the opportunities that come with buying an online business, but quickly realize they might not have the skills to manage the day to day operations.

Just what exactly are the skills required to buy the websites available?

That’s the question we’ll look to answer in today’s show. We’ll look at the base skills required and look at several different ways you can augment those skills through partnering, investing, and taking on an apprenticeship yourself.

We thought this podcast might be interesting as both Ace and I aren’t very technical ourselves, but we’ve found ways to work with these online businesses and get the job done.

Ep #10: Hiring, Training, And Scaling Your Team

September 15, 2015 by Justin Cooke 1 Comment

Subscribe to our VIP LIST It’s hard to build a real, valuable asset if you’re a one-man-band.

Part of the problem is having to trade time for money, but you’re also left with the “hit by a bus” problem. What happens to that business should you be hit by a bus? (Or otherwise incapacitated in some way)

Sure, running a multi-million dollar company without the hassle of dealing with staff/employees sounds nice, but is it realistic? How many companies do you know that are in a position you’d like to be and don’t have anyone working for them? Not many, I’m guessing…

In this episode, Ace and I share our experiences in hiring, training, and scaling employees and teams. Whether you think you need to make your first hire or are looking at creative ways to scale your team, this is a great podcast episode for you.
