In this rebroadcast episode Manny calls Ryan to figure out how to launch in the most profitable way.  Picture this… you and your partner decide to go all-in on the “crazy” idea you have for a brand. You toyed with the idea long enough, and at some point, things got serious. You even placed your first inventory order and it’s on its way. But then it hits you. You’ve burned through a bunch of your cash. Now you’re not sure how you’ll pay for your second order so you can keep in stock and keep that hard-earned momentum going. Should you cut your expenses now? Should you take out a bunch of credit cards? Should you turn to crowdfunding? These questions aren’t just hypotheticals for Manny Montilla and Paulina Tillman of Fly Dad (flydadgear.com). Maybe you’re in the same boat. Listen in as Ryan coaches Manny and “magically” uncovers solutions that were hiding in plain sight - solutions that will not only make funding easy but also that’ll make selling their first - and second - round of inventory a snap.

Ryan selected this coaching call from The One Percent to share on the podcast for a very specific reason. Cindy has been in business for 14 years but that whole time she was selling directly to businesses - she is just now getting started in the direct to consumer eCommerce world!   So of course she wonders, "is it too late now to change the whole business model?"  How can she pivot from B2B sales to selling directly on Amazon and Shopify?   After finding Ryan's book, 12 Months To $1 Million, she decided it was time to transition her business that has been making great products that help dogs stay healthy and heartstrong to the front facing world of social media, list building, and connecting more directly with her customers.   In this podcast Ryan coaches her to see that she is sitting on a potential multimillion dollar business if she follows the brand building playbook and her timing could actually be perfect in this still booming sector!

Kianna has been going viral on TikTok and now as a new member of The One Percent going through "The Grind" she wonders, how do I turn all of this content into a real brand?   With Bradley & Chelsey joining Ryan on the call from Maple + Lark (a Capitalism.com community $100k/mo success story) they share some advice as the owners of brand that was also building an audience before they actually had any products to offer.   In this case, the fastest way for her to grow her audience may actually be having 1 link that builds an email list and offering her first physical product as fast as possible, if she can dial in her ideal customer and initial line of products.   Several of her videos have had over 1 million views... but can she turn enough of these viewers into buyers to build a million dollar business?   Want to join us at The Capitalism Conference at Austin, TX on April 2024?   Get on the waitlist today at:   https://Capitalism.com/CapCon    To learn more about creating your own path to $1 million sign up for our FREE 30 day mini series at:   http://www.Capitalism.com/Million
