The Decision Framework That Ends Business Model Confusion Forever

Ready to stop second-guessing your business model and finally create an offer your audience can't wait to buy? 🚀

If you've ever found yourself staring at your laptop late at night, wondering if you should scrap your course and pivot to coaching (or abandon your membership for a high-ticket program), this episode is your rescue boat in a sea of confusion. After years of helping course creators build profitable businesses, I've identified the exact framework for choosing the right business model that's designed to sell – not just what feels right or what everyone else is doing.

I've been where you are – walking my dog at sunrise, headphones in, convinced that “a membership is going to be the thing for me!” only to create multiple business models before finding what truly works. The good news? You don't need to waste months (or years) on painful trial and error. There's a systematic way to determine which model will bring consistent revenue for your unique situation.

“People don't buy business models. They buy solutions to problems that cause them so much pain that they desperately want them solved.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover the four fundamental factors that determine whether any offer sells (regardless of business model)
  • Learn exactly when courses, coaching, and memberships each perform best (and the specific conditions needed for success)
  • Create your own decision matrix to objectively evaluate which model aligns with your strengths and audience needs
  • Identify the surprising truth about what makes an audience buy (hint: it's not about your format)
  • Implement a practical 90-day action plan to test and validate your chosen model

Grab your favorite drink and a notebook for this one – the clarity you'll gain will change how you approach your business forever! ☕️

💚 💚 💚
