One of the greatest parts of entrepreneurship is the freedom to choose how you're going to operate your business. You can choose the type of business you want to run, what your product will be, who you're interested in helping, etc. The possibilities seem to go on and on into eternity. As long as you follow sound business principles, you're at least going to have a shot at success regardless of the type of company you own. However, many business owners overlook one model that could be the key to sustainable growth.

Recurring revenue models can offer predictability and stability, helping you to scale and making your business more attractive to prospective buyers and investors. In this episode, I explore types of recurring revenue models and how they could benefit your business regardless of industry.

"If you think in a constructive manner, in a creative manner, more than likely, you can fit or you can adjust or modify one of these models into your own business or to complement your current offering so that you, too, can increase the value of your company." – Justin Goodbread   This week on The Financially Simple Podcast
