This was awesome. I’d like to know more about wantrepreneurs that failed, and what they could have done to turn their biz around. Also I’m struggling to find an idea for a drop ship business, so abandoned it. I’m gonna try doing freelance (holler, Ramit Sethi!) consulting instead. At least until I figure something out for a drop shipping biz.
Noah what other businesses did you try that failed? how long did you work on those?
Oh dude, drop shipping seems hard! I don’t know much about it, but google global sourcing. Freelance is a great way to make money. Just keep it up, and find a business person to motivate/teach you, because there’s a lot to learn! Hope it helps.
I’ve been reading your blog forever! I remember reading somewhere in one of your posts about the type of video creation software you used to create the behind the scenes for your products. If you don’t mind sharing, what software is it? I’ve been searching for a way to take screenshots of my computer, add video, etc. and what not to create a website preview video.
I also use Camtasia (and Screenflow) on my MacBook air.
However the HoR Product was 100% Camtasia for PC. It’s a great piece of software. Really easy to use and has enough features to do stuff…but not BLOATED with features like an expensive Adobe product.
Loved the videos. I stumbled across all three of them on app sumo. Great motivation to know that my small validations are actually moving for towards bigger things. Keep it up.
Love these videos and your courses (I’ve purchased a couple of them already). I noticed you generally have a special t-shirt made for each of your courses. Where do you get them made? Just curious.

Found this video motivating even though I gots no services or products developed. :)
Hey Linda. I too found this video highly motivational.
Awesome…glad you liked what the fat sumo’s had to say :-)
What a great video…look forward to the next one!
We might be doing these every week….people seem to like em (AND they’re fun to make)!
Enjoyed the video…
Sumo is so fat, his belly button makes an echo.
Sumo is so fat, he sat on a Walmart and lowered prices.
Sumo’s butt is so big, he got stopped at the airport for trying to smuggle 200 lbs of crack!
Sumo is so fat, when he wore a yellow t-shirt, little kids kept trying to jump on his back to get to school.
Sumo is so fat, when he went to the zoo, people kept reporting that one of the hippos had gotten loose.
Love the Sumo!
Topics for later videos…
Definitely life hacks on how to get motivated or stay motivated.
How did those people who y’all know that have tried stuff and failed have the motivation to try again?
HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA!! You know I actually have a Google Doc entitled “Sumo Jokes” that I copy/paste all your emails and comments to :-)
We’ll be doing a motivation video next week! Should be good :-)
Excellent! Now I can completely slack off and become a sloth all week so I can show sumo-sized improvements in motivation after watching that video.

Freelancing is a GREAT way to get started…..a lot of good stuff usually comes from freelancing.

You Anorexic Sumo’s! Go eat!
Hey Neville, your stuff really rocks my tits (and that’s not easy to do since I’m not a very big guy).
Quick question: what is the difference between the Sumo Business Blueprint course and the House of Rave course?
I am going to buy one over the next few days and I am wondering which you would recommend.
Hey Nev,
What camera do you film with? I need to purchase a new one for web video and yours always look good – so I’m just going to go with your choice
Canon s95…it’s fantastic!
Ohh yeah and one more question. How the heck do you transfer your handwriting to a webpage (like on the KopyKourse sales page?
Tablet PC + Photoshop :-)

Thanks again,

Thanks,

Hey Steve, I usually get them made kinda last-minute at a “T-shirt Deli” here in Austin. They’re not necessary, but they’re fun to wear :-)
