Nick welcomes business mastermind James Schramko to discuss his journey from working in the automotive industry to becoming a successful online entrepreneur. James shares his experiences transitioning from a high-pressure job to creating a thriving online business that provides him with the freedom and flexibility he desires. He emphasises the importance of personal effectiveness, building a small team, having a good offer, and choosing the right business model.

James also highlights the significance of focusing on customers, recurring subscriptions, and avoiding shortcuts in business. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Focus on increasing personal effectiveness by doing the right things, not necessarily working long hours.
• Build a small team to alleviate the pressure of having to do every role in the business.
• Have a good offer or product to make life easier; focus on customers and genuinely care about them for repeat business.
• Insist on having a recurring subscription at a higher price point for leverage in the business model.
• Avoid shortcuts, bad clients, and dodgy offers that sound too good to be true.

BEST MOMENTS

"I went from zero to 300 grand a year in two and a half years"

"It's about having a good offer. Like almost everything's easy if you have a good offer. If you don't have a good offer or you don't have a good product, life's going to be difficult." 

"Focus on customers and actually care about them and then you'll find you get repeat, referral, lifetime relationship. I love having clients for 7, 8 years, 15 years."
