On this week's episode, I'm talking to Naomi Dunford, the founder of Ittybiz, and who I've been following and learning from since probably 2007.

Naomi, in addition to being incredibly smart, is Romani Canadian, a small business coach and internet marketing veteran.

As you'll learn during this conversation, she actually got 1000 people to quit their day jobs before she even turned 30.

She also has both autism and ADHD and has always been a digital nomad. Also: Naomi unschools her teenager and she flat-out refuses to use social media.

In this first part of the interview, we talk about

  • how being unemployable can be a great reason to start a business,
  • what she has learned about hiring people and how to manage them, especially with ADHD.
  • the Cheerios effect
  • the myth that if you build it, they will come.
  • how being rebellious and pissed off can actually help you create amazing products.
  • the recurring desire to be 'a proper business owner' and how this is always the first thing we ca do for ourselves and our business

And, as a bonus some stories about the early days of internet marketing.

Enjoy this first part!
