From Physician to Appreneur: What made David Janner, an Australian physician, travel across the ocean and become an AppPreneur in a country like Israel?

What does it take to leave a profession, which is highly regarded and financially rewarding in most countries, and become an entrepreneur?

More than that – the first entrepreneur in your close family.

What limiting beliefs and glass ceilings do you need to challenge, conquer and shatter in order to reach your new monetary goal: Making $100,000 a month!

In today’s fascinating and inspiring episode, we have David Jenner, an entrepreneur and appreneur best known for his digital magazine — Make App Magazine.

Although his magazine is in the front, most of his work today surrounds something called ‘app skinning’, which we already covered on our interview with Benny Hsu. Aiming at having 200 apps in the Apple AppStore by 2014, David now has tens of contractors working for him day and night.

How did he make this career and life shift? Get valuable lessons from his entrepreneurial journey on today’s episode, including:

  • How effective goal-settings made all the difference for David
  • Where his entrepreneurial education came from (and why it made him stay in his room for his entire vacation in Thailand!)
  • Why he left the medical world
  • How meditation keeps him focused on his short-term and long-term goals
  • How he manages his time effectively and productively
  • How he handles fear and stress
  • And more!
