Dave Lukas Chats with Doug Sandler356: Nice Guys Finish First and 3 Pillars of Success with Doug Sandler
This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Doug Sandler. You may have heard of Doug before as he is the co-host of the Nice Guys on Business podcast which has over 1400 episodes and 5M+ downloads. Doug and I actually go back a ways having shared the stage at several different events over the years. He has an awesome story and is a consummate entrepreneur with over 30 years’ experience. In addition to being a best-selling author, Doug has built a number of different businesses across a variety of verticals. And one of the things that has allowed him to do that is a concrete set of principles that he has used over and over again to succeed no matter what type of business he’s focused on. So, I’ve asked him on to discuss them and share them with you as well as talk all things entrepreneurship! www.TurnkeyPodcast.com/money Show NotesDoug spent 30 years as a Bar Mitzvah MC doing thousands of events. He built a nice business and what he thought was a great career. But, he realized that he was trading time for dollars and when he tried to walk away, the business began to falter. So, he decided he needed to have a better plan. First, he took the lessons he had learned in building a successful business and put it into a book called Nice Guys Finish First. He then started the Nice Guys on Business Podcast to go with the brand. As he started to interview entrepreneurs and get their wisdom, he realized that success leaves clues. So, he started a business to help people succeed in podcasting. And now many years and millions of dollars later, he doesn’t trade for dollars and works in his zone of genius.
