Join Chris and I in welcoming Olivier Roland to the show this week. A blogger, author, and longtime member of our Platinum Plus Mastermind, Olivier is something of an entrepreneur’s entrepreneur. After becoming obsessed with business books in his early years, he started a blog devoted to sharing all of the knowledge he was taking in. And later, he started a coaching business specifically for entrepreneurs, helping them optimize workflows and effectively delegate tasks. One of his greatest accomplishments in all of this work, however, has been the creation of a business that serves him – not the other way around. In this illuminating chat, Olivier recounts his journey from a high school dropout to a globetrotting business owner. He focuses on the tactics that have helped him the most, like creating a network of mentors and collaborators, testing small before going big, and following personal passion. Olivier is an encyclopedia of entrepreneurship, and we were thrilled to mine as many gems out of him as we could!  Key Topics:  Asking for Help: Olivier explains how swallowing his pride and asking for help has always been the best course of action in difficult times.  Self-Education: Devouring entrepreneurship books didn’t just help educate and motivate Olivier… his fascination with them inspired his most successful venture yet.  Delegating Tasks: Olivier offers up some tips and tricks to help busy entrepreneurs manage their time and effectively offload responsibility to their staff.  Key Takeaways:  Testing your idea on a small scale can be a smart way to ensure you have a viable product and a legitimate market niche to serve.  No matter what you’re looking to learn, there’s almost guaranteed to be a book or a course out there to help you learn it.  Your goal as an entrepreneur should be to delegate and manage your time so effectively that you’re able to work on your business instead of for it.    Olivier Roland’s book: “The Way of the Intelligent Rebel”  and his blog "Disruptive horizons"  Get the AI Playbook here Access other Dare to Launch bonus content by going to DaretoLaunchShow.com/taco  More about Jeff Walker - http://www.JeffWalker.com Product Launch Formula - http://www.jeffwalker.com/programs/pr...
