Episode 817: #BizTipFriday Edition: Breaking Down The Beta Offer (Your First Online Offer: Where to Start)
The Mind Your Business PodcastShow Notes
How long have you been "thinking" about that new offer, and how many months have you spent perfecting a product that hasn't made a single dime yet? In this #BizTipFriday Edition of the podcast, I'm breaking down the "Monetize Before You Make It" process that will help you determine if you have an actual business and a scalable offer, or if it's just a really expensive hobby. In this episode, you'll learn about the exact 3-phase framework we use to validate, sell, and get paid for an offer before you even build it. Stop flipping niches like Pokémon cards and start building the most coveted asset in your business! It's time to move past the stories and excuses and let the market give you the truth!

What the heck do you do you do when the thing that used to light you up just doesn't anymore? When you feel like you're staring into a future that looks like nothing but uncertainty and you can't figure out which direction to go? I brought back my friend and high-performance coach Brad Bizjack for one of the most honest, rich conversations we've ever had on this show. We share the real meaning of fulfillment, the trap that keeps high achievers stuck in a cycle of burnout and delayed happiness, and what it actually looks like to architect a life on your own terms. This one is all about doing a "life audit" and I think it's going to hit home for a lot of you! If this conversation resonates, Brad is running his free five-day life audit challenge starting October 19th called The Success Accelerator. Over 5 mornings, he'll walk you through identifying what you actually want across the three main arenas of life, uncovering the invisible beliefs and inner conflicts holding you back, and rewiring the operating system that's been running your life behind the scenes.
