Cate Stillman is the founder of Yoga Healer, an online business that teaches yogis how  Ayurveda can enhance their lives. Cate believes that in this age of hyper-stimulation and hyper-connectivity we must not only take care of our bodies, but also our minds.
Inspiration:
While practicing Ayurveda and teaching yoga in San Francisco in the early 2000s, Cate took her first online yoga course with Sally Kempton, a famous meditation and yoga teacher.  Shortly after, she realized that if someone else could run a yoga course online, she could do it too… and even improve certain elements of the business model.

In 2007, while pregnant with her baby girl, she taught her first yoga Living Ayurveda course. After receiving some pretty positive responses, she brought her most successful classes to online market; her business grew exponentially.
Challenge: 
The biggest obstacle Cate experienced when starting up her business was trying to do everything on her own.  Building a supportive team not only strengthens a business, but it also helps keep a passionate entrepreneur from drowning in the details.

Another setback Cate experienced in her business was not having systems in place for crucial tasks. After hiring an online business manager to be the interface between her and the team, she was able to get back on track and free up more time to do what she really loves.
Passion:
One of Cate’s most earnest hopes for humanity is they begin to truly feel their connection to every part of nature. Her tagline “Dandelions are the new kale” expresses this desire for people to recognize the nourishment offered, even in what most people consider weeds.
Advice:

Whenever you come across a problem or a vision that seems too big, ask yourself: “How easy can it be?“
Learn how to continuously expand yourself and grow as a person.

John Lee Dumas is the founder and the host of Entrepreneur on Fire. It is a top ranked business podcast, named “Best in iTunes” in 2013, that generates 450,000 unique downloads a month. On his show, he interviews inspiring and successful entrepreneurs 7 days a week.
Inspiration:
At the time John started his show, there had never been a podcast that interviewed an inspiring successful entrepreneur every day of the week. He knew there was a void that needed to be filled, and thus Entrepreneur on Fire was conceived.
Challenge: 
While seeking advice from others before the launch of the show, John was told countless times that a daily podcast would simply not work. Hearing that discouraging message from his mentors, he felt paralyzed with fear. He had to muster up the courage, put “blinders” on, and push through the resistance to get the podcast released... after delaying the launch date three times.
Passion:
John is super passionate about serving his amazing community. He loves listening to their needs and giving them exactly what they want.  

Out of this love of serving his audience, another passion of John’s arose - “Webinar on Fire;” it is a step-by-step program on how to create, present, and convert webinars. 
Advice:

Don’t let fear stop you from doing great things. EVERYBODY feels fear, but only successful people push through to the end.
Get a Mentor. It is much easier to accomplish your goals with the guidance of someone who’s been there before.
The two most powerful words that will shuttle you to success: Just Start.
Doing little things every single day to get closer to your goal will have massive results down the line.
Always be in the position to take advantage of the next opportunity.

Entrepreneurs Resource:

WorkFlowy is a simple, but powerful to-do list tool.
Schedule Once is a great tool for scheduling appointments with other people.
Google tools for most of your business needs: Google Docs, Google Drive, Gmail.

Looking Back: 
If John could go back in time, he would tell his younger self to stop stalling and launch his business sooner. By delaying his podcast launch five weeks, he pushed his progress back five weeks; John sees this now as a $100,00 dollar mistake. If he could wave a magic wand and change one thing, he would have taken his own advice and just started without over-thinking it.
