[TSE 32] Get Busy Living an Epic Life and Make Money Developing Mobile Apps With Benny HsuThe Suitcase Entrepreneur Podcast is proud to present our first iPhone App Developer, entrepreneur, and blogger to the show.

Benny used to have a normal 9-5 job until he realized one night that he was simply NOT happy. He questioned how he could live a happier and more satisfying life, and so Get Busy Living blog was born.

Benny then wanted to fully commit to a project he felt passionate about.  The idea of developing a mobile app was on his mind, however the only problem was that he had ZERO tech developing skills!  The solution: He treated himself to a simple eBook on outsourcing and went about hiring and managing a virtual team to create a top quality iPhone app.  In its first week after the release, Photo 365.

A year later, Benny has gone on to create another iPhone app called Gratitude Journal 365, and he’s started documenting this more on his blog, which primarily focuses on personal development and living life on your own epic terms. Benny’s down to earth and sincere writing voice has made him a popular figure for showing others how to take the plunge and chase after your dreams, get past your fear and live your best life.
