MenuWhere do I find entry-level interview-based business / marketing podcasts that I could promote my new book on?
This question has no further details.
Answers
2 quick and simple ideas come to mind.
1. Open up iTunes, open the podcast section, open up your relevant categories and subcategories. e.g. business/business and marketing.
Contact the podcasts that are in the "New and Noteworthy" sections or in the lower half of the top 200 podcasts sections.
2. Open Twitter or Tweetdeck and use Twitter search for people using phrases like "marketing podcast" or "marketing podcast guests" etc. Try a few different types of query and see if you can use Twitter to narrow down some of the marketing podcasters that are looking for guests.
Good luck with your new book!

Look for startups that are in the same vertical that your book is based on.
Reach out to the marketing leaders/team at those companies. They'll likely be very open to a mutually beneficial showcase - and even if they don't have podcasts, a Youtube video is a suitable replacement.[1]
I must ask - why only podcasts for promotion?
[1] Worked at three SF startups that did just this and were always actively in need of people/domain experts to bring on for interviews.
You might check out podcastguests.com. This is a place to find guests as well as be a guest.
You find podcasts by google or joining facebook groups. You also sign up for requests at www.podcastguests.com, and www.radioguestlist.com.
We at The Success Corps also offer a podcast booking service where we get you on podcasts. If interested, email me here sean@thesuccesscorps.com.

Business partner I want to bring on will invest more money than me, but will be less involved in operations, how do I split the company?
Cash money should be treated separately than sweat equity. There are practical reasons for this namely that sweat equity should always be granted in conjunction with a vesting agreement (standard in tech is 4 year but in other sectors, 3 is often the standard) but that cash money should not be subjected to vesting. Typically, if you're at the idea stage, the valuation of the actual cash going in (again for software) is anywhere between $300,000 and $1m (pre-money). If you're operating in any other type of industry, valuations would be much lower at the earliest stage. The best way to calculate sweat equity (in my experience) is to use this calculator as a guide: http://foundrs.com/. If you message me privately (via Clarity) with some more info on what the business is, I can tell you whether I would be helpful to you in a call.TW

Should I hire a bookkeeper? (what does one do exactly?)
NIcole is right. When I first started my business I thought I was saving money by doing my own bookkeeping. It took me much longer than it would take a bookkeeper - all time that I was not spending on marketing or billable activities. And in the end I made errors which made the initial work of the bookkeeper longer. I now have a consistent routine. My bookkeeper picks up all my material monthly and does my books in less than 2 hours. Very worthwhile.RL

As a solo freelancer of my company (Incorporation), what are the best practices to grow my business, get more clients, and hire people?
I'm reading a book called, "Disciplined Entrepreneurship: 24 Steps to a Successful Startup" written by Bill Aulet. The 24 steps are broken down into six categories: 1: Who is your customer? 2: What can you do for your customer? 3: How does your customer acquire your product? 4: How do you make money off your product? 5: How do you design and build your product? 6: How do you scale your business Your technically asking a good number of questions and I'm thinking this book might be a good starting point for you.JF

How do you deal with the emotional ups and downs of starting a business?
After founding one company on my own, and co-founding several others with teams, I've written and spoken extensively on this topic - it's an under-recognized risk and challenge of entrepreneurship. You can read one of my more popular articles at http://lp.co/perspective, but I'll summarize it here... Entrepreneurship can be a very lonely endeavor. Even when you have others on your team, no one else is in quite the same "boat" that you are. Looking to other entrepreneurs for support can be deceptive. Most entrepreneurs are always "on" - showing only the best side of their business - and it's easy to understand why. As an entrepreneur, you're constantly selling yourself and your company to potential customers, employees, and investors. As a result, you compare yourself with others who are only showing their best side (and only sharing the good news), while you know that your own pursuit is a daily struggle. Raising money (if you are going that route) is an exercise in perpetual rejection. It's a real test of your self confidence to be told over and over why your idea won't work and isn't worth an investment. If you're not raising money, you may deal with this same challenge when trying to find your initial customers or employees. I've found three primary ways to counteract these forces and stabilize my own perspective: 1. Find some peer entrepreneurs with whom you can build some truly deep and transparent relationships, where the masks come off. Share your insecurities and vulnerabilities with them, and allow them to do the same. 2. Find mentors, advisors, and coaches who have experienced the same ups-and-downs you are facing. Listen to their stories, soak up their wisdom, and most of all, realize and remind yourself that they survived it, and so can you. 3. Recalibrate your perspective by taking time off to help others who are less fortunate than you are. Volunteer with an organization that supports a cause that you care about. The side effect of focusing on others is that you will be reminded that the challenges you are facing are not the worst problems in the world.KK
