940: Why I Was Hesitant to Build a SAAS Company (And Why That’s Changing)

I’ve always wanted to build a SaaS, but I never wanted to manage a full development team or take on the huge financial gamble of developing something; potentially before you even have users. But the game has changed — so much is different now! With the power of AI, much more is possible without the need to have a huge team to make it happen. For the very first time, I see a future where I can build the kinds of things I’ve always wanted to build, but without all of the friction that it used to take to make it happen!Join The Co-op - The Membership for Online BusinessesConnect with Abagail Instagram All the Links! SaaS has always matched my mission of wanting to help people in a very tangible way. Oftentimes, when you’re educating people or giving them direction, you don’t have a way to help them implement. That’s on them! For a lot of years, I’ve allowed that to be true. The appeal of software is that you get to give people a path to implement and make their lives easier. Not only are you giving them the tools and the strategies that are going to make things better, easier, and faster, you are giving them a tool! I’m finally taking the leap not only to educate but also to provide people with the tools they need to execute beautifully! Episode Highlights Why Now Is a Better Time than Ever to Start a SaaS Company [0:02:43]  What Has Changed in the World of AI and Why It’s Going to Produce Rapid Results [0:11:50] The One Thing I Want Small Business Owners to Know [0:17:36] How What I’m Building Could Work for You [0:20:44] Our Sponsor: FreshBooks get 70% off for 4 monthsThank you for listening!

932: How I Accumulated 35,527+ Watch Time Hours Before Even Starting My YouTube Channel

Most people start a YouTube channel from scratch with zero videos, zero audience, and zero watch time, but before I even started my YouTube channel, I had accumulated over 35,000 watch hours!
