Making It: How to Be a Successful Online Entrepreneur

You don’t always need formal training or a solid plan to become a successful entrepreneur. Chris Badgett has always sought freedom and adventure over a conventional path. For him, making it is all about the freedom to be yourself and follow your passions.

Show Notes

Welcome to Making It! This weekly show explores the lives and stories of entrepreneurs as they share their unique perspectives on their success and the path to making it.  

    Chris Badgett is the co-founder and CEO of LifterLMS, a learning management system for WordPress. As a kid, he was often bored, preferring outdoor adventure to indoor education.  But his passion for learning things that did interest him fueled one new interest after the other, eventually leading to his own success in online education.

    In this episode of Making It, Chris talks about being voluntarily homeless, running sled dogs and turning his quest for freedom and interest into a successful business.

“It's less obvious than, you know, making money or making a difference or making an impact, but to truly get to be yourself; that's making it.”

– Chris Badgett

What is Making It: How to Be a Successful Online Entrepreneur?

For most aspiring online entrepreneurs, “making it” means achieving success in your business. But what exactly is business success anyway? And how do outwardly successful online entrepreneurs define "making it"? Here at Mirasee FM, we wanted to find out, so we asked a group of diverse online business owners what success means to them. Their answers and insights surprised, moved, and inspired us. In this podcast, accomplished online entrepreneurs discuss what making it means to them, provide tips for online business success, and share important lessons on business and life that they have learned along the way.
