47| Justin Welsh - How to Build a 7 Figure Business As a Solopreneur
The Dan Go Podcast
Testing Demand Before Building
Selling a course to assess demand before investing time in building it. Course creation involves developing an agenda, determining teaching sequence, building slides, and creating a talk without high production value.
Today's guest, Justin Welsh, wears many hats. He is an entrepreneur, a coach, a creator, and an influencer. (He is even followed by a quarter of a million people on LinkedIn and 150,000 people on Twitter!) We talk about how to go about making seven figures as a solopreneur, his love for restaurants, and his use of hypnotherapy.
Justin also touches upon why he made the jump to entrepreneurship to begin with, how his anxious personality led to him dropping his community, why Twitter is currently his long-term play, and so much more! Justin also answers a series of rapid-fire questions such as what his favorite restaurant in the world is, what regularly walking does for him, why he loves Tokyo, and more.
I really learned a lot from having this talk with Justin and will definitely be using some of his pointers in my own business. I appreciate his time on the show and hope that you enjoy listening to this conversation with him and maybe take a few pointers away as well. If this was interesting and/or helpful to you and you haven't subscribed to the show already, please be sure to do so on your favorite podcast app! I would also really appreciate it if you would share the podcast with at least one other person you know who might also enjoy it and if you would leave me a five-star review! That really helps the show out!
