About This Series

The Revenue Generating Activities Series is a seven-episode collection designed to give you practical, actionable ways to generate revenue no matter where you are in your business journey. Each episode covers four business types: professional services, retail, online commerce, and product-based businesses.

Soaring Sea Overview

Process, Progress, Perseverance (mainsails) | Prosperity (headsail)

Focus: Systematize growth and scale revenue

In the Soaring Sea, you have three mainsails powering your business: Process, Progress, and Perseverance. Growth is happening fast - the wind is at your back. Your job now is to build systems that capture this momentum and make it repeatable. The headsail of Prosperity guides your direction toward holistic wealth - but without strong processes, measurable progress, and sustained perseverance, rapid growth will overwhelm you.
