Hi Unemployables! For episodde 336 of The Solopreneur Hour we've got yet another weekly Friday Q&A session.To spice it up this week I hopped on Periscope to get your questions, and then answered them on this episode. If you want to participate in any of our upcoming Q&As join us in the Proudly Unemployable group on Facebook. I'd love to see you in the group, find out more about what you're working on and how I can help you.Whether or not you chimed in this week with a question I know you'll get something from today's show so sit back, relax and enjoy this edition of The Solopreneur Hour podcast.More About This ShowWe've got a bunch of questions from our Periscope session (follow me on Twitter to see more broadcasts and participate) so let's dive on in.Q: What is the best song to listen to with your stereo?A: Right now When Hell Freezes Over by The Eagles on the Hotel California album is my favorite song to play on my stereo right now.Q: I just started my podcast. What is one of the best ways to grow and gain listeners?A: If you're within the 8 week period of New & Noteworthy now is the time to really grow your audience and rock. Do ceaseless and endless promotion. Go to Ritetag.com and get 6 relevant hashtags for each episode and Tweet every single one of them when they're released. Putting the names of other people your audience listens to (like Pat Flynn, Joe Rogan, etc) and your show sounds like is another way to be found.Q: Jimmy Chamberlain or Dave Grohl?A: For me it's Jimmy Chamberlain, I think his stuff is really interesting and Dave is more of a basher.Q: What are your top 3 lessons from your 44 years?A: I'm going to make that Monday's show! Monday is my birthday. I won't answer your question now, come back on Monday and listen in.Q: Best practices to grow a great coaching business?A: Coach what you know. You can't coach on things you have no idea about. Gary V at Thrive was talking about the surge of people out there calling themselves coaches but don't know anything about what they're coaching on! You don't have to be an expert to be a coach but you have to KNOW something about it. However you can coach people if you know more than the average person.@RyanAyres53Q: Best guests that have gone solo from big company experience? I'm currently at Microsoft. A: For those of you at a 9 to 5 and are miserable the jumping off point is to read my sexy seven. Read them in order, you can get them here. Listen to Rick Mulready, Vasavi Kumar and Dan Martell are all great examples. And every episode is dedicated to just that: how to leave your job and be a solopreneur so listen to them all!Q: When posting links on Twitter, what's best: short (trackable) or longer ones that include the show address?A: I like the short ones because there needs to be room for hashtags. So I do compelling title, short URL and 6 hashtags.Q: Did you know the drummer from Kiss, Eric Singer, is huge watch guy? What is the best watch under $200?A: I didn't know that about Eric Singer. As far as watches I'd say Melbourne Watch Company, a great automatic Melbourne for under a grand. Another one I like but haven't bought yet is Autodromo.@DavidAaronJohnsQ: On Facebook ads how granular should you get with your target audience?A: Pretty damn! It depends on the product itself but the closer you can get to your avatar the better. That's the bottom line.@thetruechallengeQ: Do you have a fitness goal for 44?A: Yes I'm sleeping poorly, drinking whiskey and eating poorly because Dexter is on his last legs. But I just ordered a 55-lb kettlebell and am going to start using that. I'm going to get back to Tim Ferriss' slow carb diet, playing racquetball again and using kettlebells twice a week with a cheat day on Sundays.Q: Does it annoy you when people ask for advice on your Q&As but don't follow the advice?A: It's no skin off my back anymore,
