In this episode, I reveal the complete 11-step formula I recommend for building an online business. This valuable content—which people have paid thousands of dollars to receive in my in-person workshops—is now being shared with a wider audience.

I start by sharing my own entrepreneurial journey, which began with launching a podcast as a hobby. Over time, I discovered a desire to turn my passion for content creation into a full-time business.

However, I quickly realized that most people attempting to create an online business were failing because they started by creating content without first laying the necessary groundwork. Instead of following a strategic sequence, they jumped straight into content creation.

As a result, I developed an 11-step formula for building a successful online business:

  1. Determine your destination - What do you want your life and business to look like?
  2. Identify where you already add value - What are your gifts, talents, and areas of expertise?
  3. Determine your ideal customer - Who has the money, problems, and willingness to pay for your solutions?
  4. Learn about your ideal customers' problems - Conduct research to deeply understand their struggles.
  5. Determine your products and services - Align your offerings with your customers' needs.
  6. Create a value proposition statement - Clearly communicate who you are and how you help.
  7. Validate your business model - Get paid customers before creating content.
  8. Create Content - Create environments for people to discover who you are and what you have to offer.
  9. Attract Your Ideal Customer - AKA Grow Your Audience
  10. Market your products and services - Develop your sales and marketing skills.
  11. Test new products and services - Continuously innovate and improve.
