When you’re introduced to someone as a guy who has crazy stories to share – including kidnappings and other life-threatening tales – you take notice. This is how Jordan Harbinger came into my life, so it should surprise nobody that I was keen to have involved in The Successful Mistake.

Although our conversation doesn’t cover such life-threatening ordeals, it does provide one of the most cringeworthy and funny anecdotes I’ve comes across, and I have a sneaky feeling you’ll love it. Let me introduce you to Jordan, and his rather wonderful ways…

IN THIS SESSION, YOU’LL LEARN:

• DON’T ASSUME EVERYONE HAS THE SAME WORK ETHIC AS YOU

• ALTHOUGH HIRING FRIENDS IS TOUGH, FIRING THEM IS WORSE

• THE ONE BAD APPLE IN YOUR BUSINESS OFTEN RUINS EVERYTHING (AND EVERYONE) ELSE

• SOMETIMES WORKING WITH FRIENDS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO (IN THE BEGINNING)

• IT’S DIFFICULT TO STAY FRIENDS WHEN THERE’S MONEY ON THE TABLE – APPROACH WITH CAUTION

• MOST ENTREPRENEURS WILL MAKE THIS FRIEND-HIRING MISTAKE AT SOME POINT IN TIME

• HAVING A CO-FOUNDER GIVES YOU SOMEONE TO BOUNCE IDEAS OFF

• PLUS, THEY’RE IN THE TRENCHES WITH YOU AND INVESTED LIKE YOU ARE

• BUT WHEN YOU WORK WITH FRIENDS, YOU SEE THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE (THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY)

• IF YOU DO HIRE A FRIEND, DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM THIER DAY-TO-DAY RUNNING

• ENSURE SOMEONE ELSE MANAGERS THEM – IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR WORK

• IF SOMEONE IN YOUR BUSINESS CAN’T DO IT, OUTSOURCE IT TO SOMEONE WHO CAN

HIS STORY BASED BIO:

Is Jordan named after a country? Or a famed basketball player? Or a rather large breasted glamour model from the UK? Who knows, other than those within his inner circle of family-ness…

What I do know is Jordan’s far grander than a country, a personality like his more liken to a planet or a star or a Death Star. And he may not be the next big thing in basketball, but when it comes to podcasting and helping ordinary guys transform into extraordinary ones, he’s on this. And he ain’t no female glamour model, mainly because he’s a dude.

Jordan’s a larger than life individual who lives a life of purpose. Because of this, he helps other folk live a life of purpose, too. It’s cyclical in many ways, but on a 3D scale, because Jordan Harbinger isn’t some 2D character like old-school Mario. He’s next generation graphics, and a true pleasure to know.

Thanks for listening to today’s Session of The Purple Coffee Podcast. I’d love to hear your thoughts, so be sure to say hello via FACEBOOK or TWITTER. This is where I spend my dayS, and where the cool conversations happen.

I also hope this isn’t a one-time-thing, because I aren’t after a one-night stand. Be sure to follow the super simple 3-Step Process Below, or forever be haunted by the podcasting gods.
