Interview with Rebecca Livermore (professionalcontentcreation.com) If you want to grow your business WITHOUT paying lots of money for advertising, trying to figure out Google Adsense (why is it so complicated?) or hiring an expensive PR agent, you’ll definitely want to tune in for this interview with Rebecca Livermore. Rebecca has been a professional freelance writer since 1993. Although she got her start writing articles in print magazines, she’s been a web content writer since 2006 and that’s her primary focus with her business Professional Content Creation. She is a strong believer in both social media and content marketing, knowing that businesses that embrace these types of marketing are far more likely to succeed in today’s world, than those that stick with more traditional “old school” ways of marketing. And trust me, I’ve taken all of “old school” marketing approaches in the past, and I can tell you that they’re not very effective (and they have a tendency to drain your budget). So check out this episode to learn a marketing method that IS effective to grow your business and reach more people.

Interview with Jeff Steinmann (howtoquitworking.com) On this episode of Go Fire Yourself, I’m interviewing another fantastic guest–Jeff Steinmann. Jeff is an author, blogger, and podcaster. Just last year, Jeff quit a job he hated to work for himself full-time….and here’s the kicker…to help other people do the same exact thing. Basically, his mission is pretty similar to mine here at GFY, which is awesome! Jeff is the founder of the boutique lifestyle consulting company, Braveau Experts and author of How to Quit Working, which is a complete guide to quitting your job and using what you know to create a lifestyle. He is a speaker and hosts a weekly show called “The How to Quit Working Show” that features Lifestyle Fanatics who have rejected the idea of having a JOB and put lifestyle first. Today, Jeff’s life is 180 degrees different than it was a few years ago and now his main passion in life is teaching other people how to make money based on what they know instead of what they do (there’s a big difference!) so they can quit working and find better ways to live their life. On the show, he’s sharing some amazing tips and tools that you can use to make the switch into self-employment and live an incredible life of personal freedom.
