Work Less, Earn More

In this podcast episode, I reflect on three major business mistakes that held me back for years. My first mistake was failing to validate course ideas before creating and launching them. Instead of conducting market research, I would develop courses without knowing if there was a demand. My second mistake was being overly sales-focused during course launches, rather than listening to potential customers. I realized the importance of engaging with prospective buyers and understanding their needs. My third mistake was a lack of leads, as I had minimal visibility, making it challenging to generate income. To address these issues, I announced course ideas for pre-sale, which allowed me to gauge interest quickly and lower prices to attract customers more effectively.
