This is not another productivity, hustle, and grind podcast. I literally want you to do less. Many of us are overwhelmed, frustrated, and need a break. The good news is that we can accomplish much more than now. Once we focus on the vital few, and prioritize things that make our lives and the lives of people around us better, we can “do more by doing less”. This podcast is funny, simple, and has real-world stories. The episodes alternate between my solo podcasts and guest podcasts. In the solo episodes I share stories and frameworks from my experience in coaching small business owners and my own entrepreneurship endeavors. Oh, and any other story that can get a laugh while sticking to the theme of the podcast😊 In the guest podcasts, I will bring on other entrepreneurs who will share their expertise and discuss their own methods for doing more by doing less. That’s it. Subscribe now so you don’t miss an episode and have fun listening while you drive, do the dishes, or mow the lawn!","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T22:17:18.842914+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/do-more-by-doing-less-time-freedom-for-entrepreneurs-small-business-owners-and-solopreneurs-6570871"},"episode":{"title":"It Is Riskier to Work for Someone Else Than to Work For Yourself","slug":"it-is-riskier-to-work-for-someone-else-than-to-work-for-yourself","published_at":"2026-05-12T14:10:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/do-more-by-doing-less-time-freedom-for-entrepreneurs-small-business-owners-and-solopreneurs-6570871/it-is-riskier-to-work-for-someone-else-than-to-work-for-yourself","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/do-more-by-doing-less-time-freedom-for-entrepreneurs-small-business-owners-and-solopreneurs-6570871","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/it-is-riskier-to-work-for-someone-else-than-to-work-for-yourself--71957996","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/71957996/chapter_1_it_is_riskier_to_work_for_someone_else_than_to_work_for_yourself_edited_6_5_23.mp3","summary":"Is owning a business actually riskier than having a job? By the way, I have both, so I'm not exactly a \"burn the boats\" kind of guy:) Show Summary: In this episode, I share the story of turning down a “safe” corporate job at John Deere during a recession and why that decision completely changed how I think about risk. Most people assume entrepreneurship is unstable, but after years of coaching and business ownership, I’ve realized depending on one paycheck can be just as risky. Takeaways: • A steady paycheck does not always equal security. • Multiple income streams can reduce long-term risk. • Friends and family often discourage entrepreneurship because it feels unfamiliar to them. • Modern business owners have more tools, automation, and flexibility than ever before. • Starting a business while working full-time can lower financial pressure and help you test ideas safely. Action For You To Take: Look at your current income situation honestly. Ask yourself where all your financial security currently comes from. Then identify one small way to create an additional stream of income, even if it starts as a side project.
