Summary: Rejoining the Solopreneur Hour is our friend, ultra-successful multi-preneur and fellow podcaster, Chris Ducker. If you’re new to the show, check out Episode 18 with Chris in which he does an amazing Yoda impersonation! When he wasn’t speaking like Yoda, he shared his background and what led him to be the leader in the virtual assistant industry. In episode 69, we revisit Yoda and Star Wars. Although he doesn’t do another impersonation, we talk about the incredible business savvy of George Lucas and how evergreen Star Wars is. When we weren’t discussing Star Wars, we hit on such topics as watches, outsourcing and the necessity of taking action. I also gleaned some amazing nuggets from Chris, including: The unusual tactic he uses to keep his meetings short and on point. What Chris did when he hired his 100th employee: the reward he promised himself and why it’s an important lesson for you. Questions to ask yourself before hiring a virtual assistant. What Chris would’ve done differently if he started over today. Superhero Syndrome: what is it, do you have it and how do you get over it? Chris shares his personal lesson. As always, Chris was a terrific guest. He speaks with honesty, passion and true knowledge of what it takes to be a success in the business world.
