Noah Kagan Presents

By the age of 29 I made my first million dollars, but the journey to get there was far from sexy. I went from working in a cubicle at Intel, to working (and getting fired) by Facebook, to sleeping on couches for almost a year. It took lots of trial and error, but I finally landed on AppSumo.com, which got me to the $1 million mark and is now an eight figure company (and growing).In this episode, I'm going to share my full story so that you can create a game plan for yourself. It won't be easy or fast, but the money will come if you focus on adding value and creating things that people want. https://okdork.com/podcast/210 Use this link to get 10% off at checkout on AppSumo: https://appsumo.com/?coupon=noah10&code=noah10
