I was looking for a business idea that would give me the flexibility and freedom that I was looking for.\r\n \r\nBut nothing was really sticking and nothing was really earning any money.\r\n \r\nAnd, on top of all the hours that I was already working at my “day job,” I was spending another 15-30 hours working on my online business and researching what the missing ingredient was.\r\n \r\nAfter a lot of trial and error, things finally started to click into place. I settled on the business that fascinated me the most––digital marketing courses and services––and set out to become an expert.\r\n \r\nToday, I am going to break down the six things I changed to take my business past the six-figure mark.\r\n \r\nAs you’ll see, it wasn’t just six new things I started doing. Some of these things were simple decisions I made and others were things I stopped doing.\r\n \r\nListen to the full episode to hear:\r\n\r\nWhat I was spending my time on when I wasn't earning anything\r\nThe very counterintuitive thing I stopped doing that increased my income\r\nWho I hired to help me grow my business\r\nAnd the market research everyone skips and how once you understand this you never will again\r\n\r\n \r\nLinks:\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\nProfit Planning Challenge\r\nStartup Society\r\nGillianPerkins.com\r\n\r\n ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/jSVFNaMVaq2xN_XXMdPWb2thI2IwCmxWI1ny0RZrwGE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ5MjUwLzE3MDY2/NDcyMjQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
