Creating a lifestyle business that funds your Charmed Life is a goal for many Small Business owners. Today on the Small Business Show, we’re joined by Kimanzi Constable, business owner, author, consultant and coach who has created a lifestyle business that we can all learn from.

During our discussion we cover topics including how to power through being told no and being ignored, how the power of small earnings can propel you to larger profits, becoming a knowledge worker, using an email list as the core of your online business, self-marketing tips and much, much more.

Interviews and podcasts are definitely better when it comes to sharing insights regarding business.

Kimanzi is not even a consultant. No company he claims to have consulted with knows him. Complete and total fraud. Can he tell you how to get published, yes he can and so can an eight year old who can find a magazine web page and read the instructions on how to become a contributor.

While we don’t know the specifics of Kimanzi’s consulting business, we believe the overall message of his interview is very relevant and positive for entrepreneurs.
