Mastering the art of generating recurring revenue is critical for any business aiming to scale. My guest today, Stu McLaren, knows this well. Since 2008, Stu has worked closely with thousands of entrepreneurs to transform their expertise into profitable membership sites generating up to 8-figures annually.

With his wife Amy, Stu also started a charity called Village Impact that has built 15 schools in rural Kenya. He shares how this philanthropic mission taught him the mindset shift of making money to do good.

In this episode, we explore Stu's origin story and how he went from money guilt to embracing wealth as a way to increase impact. He explains his 3-part framework for growing a business by focusing on traffic, conversion, and retention. Stu shares specifics on how he achieves 95% membership retention rates.

We also discuss actionable habits like constant testing and immersing yourself in supportive masterminds. Stu reveals his strategies for donating revenue and involving his team in giving back. It's a wide-ranging conversation about doing business with both purpose and profit. Stu provides valuable insights for entrepreneurs looking to build recurring revenue models that make a true difference in the world. So, without any further ado, on with the show!
