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!

After some early sales momentum Austin he wonders how he can maintain this kind of growth in his brand.   His pistol holster company is off to a good start but now he is wondering if it is time to hire an ad agency and where he should put his focus to make the most sales - YouTube Shorts, Instagram, Facebook?   On this call in The One Percent Ryan & Greg both coach Austin into doubling down on what is already working and stress the importance of the depth of connections with his small audience, instead of aiming for the biggest the numbers.   With his higher price point and average checkout price he won't even have to generate as many sales per day to start moving towards a million dollar business, but Austin will have to go all in on creating captivating content and engaging with his audience.   Check out Austin's business Houdini Holsters at: https://www.instagram.com/houdini_holsters/    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

Austin Asks, "How Should I Use Social Media To Hit 25 Sales Per Day?"

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
