Steve is joined by author, John Williams, the writer behind 'F Work, Let's Play!', and other works. Steve and John discuss the ways in which you can create a systemised approach to choosing the right business for you - one that you both enjoy and profit from.

The discussion also focusses upon the process of idea formulation, marketing, selling, and establishing a profitable business that's also a pleasure to operate.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• There is a prevailing perfectionism problem, where people are far too anxious about things being exactly right before they take action. 
• There are many sectors and markets to conquer, but willingness and keenness are only half of what you need to get there. Establishing your brand and business is also the art of identifying what makes your voice unique in that space.
• In order to create leads in the short term, we must seek to run campaigns that give people a strong connection to us, and a better sense of our skills and expertise, and ideally an interactive experience.
• When starting out, an effective way to gain traction is to focus on your chosen sector and establish category creation on a small niche. This marks you out to potential clients as the expert in that field.

BEST MOMENTS 

'People prevaricate far too much because they feel everything has to be perfect'

'What are you bringing to that idea beyond just the idea?'

'The most successful people don't have five days to give to you'

'That's the power of category creation - if you can zoom in and ask how you can super-niche within a sub-category'

ABOUT THE HOST

Steve used to be a slave to his business but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change the way he worked. He switched to running his businesses remotely and after totally nailing this concept he decided to spend his time helping other small business owners do the same. Steve’s been investing in property since 2002, has a degree in Computing, and worked as a doctor in the NHS before quitting to focus full-time on sharing his systems and outsourcing Methodology with the world. He now lives in Sweden and runs his UK-based businesses remotely with the help of his team of Filipino and UK-based Virtual Assistants.

Most business owners are overwhelmed because they don't know how to create systems or get the right help.

Our systems and outsourcing Courses and coaching programme will help you automate your business and work effectively with affordable virtual assistants. That way, you will stop feeling overwhelmed and start making more money.
