Taking the biggest risk in his life, he jumped out on his own and started a business. Although he had great success at the start, he now understood he knew nothing about being a business owner.   On the brink of failure and shutting down his business, he found podcasting and everything changed. Now a Top 200 business podcast on Apple Podcasts/iTunes, Donnie’s Success Champions is helping the world one story at a time.   On this episode with Donnie Boivin: operating in a state of chaos, entrepreneur is just another word for MLM, why you need to take ownership, how to tank your business and how to talk to people.   Where you can find Donnie: DonnieBoivin.com SuccessChampsPodcast.com   What did you think of this episode?

  When I got my Apple Watch (Series 3), I had no idea that it would actually make me more productive. The reason why is very simple: the Watch gives users very limited functionality. This is by design. But it did give me enough information to keep me going AND keep me off of my iPhone. And that meant I was spending more time doing what I need to do!   286: Why I Love the Productivity App, Things 3   Apple Watch*   Things 3*   Fantastical 2*   Dark Sky*   AutoSleep*   Spark Email*   * - not an affiliate link   What did you think of this episode?
