Stuck because of your model?
If you truly have the skills but you canāt pay your bills itās your model holding you back. If I have level 10 marketing and sales skills but run a brick and mortar gym (like I did)ā¦ thereās only so far you can go in that vehicle of business. An online marketing agency was my next season and I still have it but the particular model of ONLY offering doing done for you services has its limitations. In order to scale you gotta be great at operations, hiring, training, and managing a big team. Not my cup of tea. ORā¦ You can incorporate what I call a āConnection Offerā where people pay you for your knowledge and ability to coach and lead them. You get paid for the hard earned skills, insights, and wisdom youāve acquired. Iāve happily paid tens of thousands over the years to people running these types of models. Iāve always wanted to get this coaching/consulting model but the timing wasnāt right. I had to gain valuable skills that I could pass on through mentorship. I think thatās where a lot of people get hung up. Trying to find the āperfect business modelā when it really depends on your skills and season of life. Itās good to know where you want to end up however. Even if you know itās going to take a little longer to get their than you want. It is a great feeling to align your unique abilities and passion with a business model you love. For me thatās now coaching and mentoring. I still have my marketing agency but that mostly runs on its own. Iāve realized that I could coach and mentor online entrepreneurs for the rest of my life because it doesnāt drain me. It provides energy and aligns with what Iām good at. And you can scale to 100k/month plus with 90% margins while only working a couple hours a day. My point is doing be afraid to adjust your model to align with your season of life. For me it was scary to make the transition. Fear of what other people think etcā¦ So worth it though š¤šŖ
