Work Less, Earn More EP 109: The Software As A Service Business with Nathalie Lussier - Exploring Alternative Business Models
Too often, choosing your business model isn’t a conscious decision and you accept whatever the default seems to be for your industry.
But choosing your business model is a really important decision.
The business model that you choose affects absolutely everything about how you do business, from what you do on a daily basis to how much money you make and how you make that money, to how much time you spend working each week.
Let’s open our eyes to the different options out there and make conscious choices about the model that’s really right for our businesses, our customers, ourselves, and our personal goals.
This episode is part of a series on business models. In each episode, I’m interviewing a business owner about their business model, how it works, how they make money, and what it all entrails so that you can learn about your different options and make that choice.
Today I’m talking to Nathalie Lussier about the Software As A Service model and her business, AccessAlly.
