Episode Summary:

If you’ve been trying to start a business for a while now but your bank account still looks like it’s a side project, this episode is for you. I know how easy it is to get caught up in the wrong things—fonts, CRMs, the perfect brand name—when what you really need is traction.

In this episode, I walk you through a simple, four-week plan to help you go from thinking about starting to actually earning. You don’t need a niche, a website, or a social media following to begin. You just need to do the right things in the right order—and that’s exactly what I’ll guide you through.

What I Cover in This Episode:

Week 1: Get Clarity You Can Act On

  • Identify who you can help right now based on what you already know
  • Define a simple offer that delivers relief or results
  • Build a one-page site (or landing page) where people can reach you
  • Make a list of 10 people or businesses who might need what you do

Week 2: Show Up With Strategic Visibility

  • Write and share one value post on a platform your ideal clients use
  • Reach out to five ideal clients using a warm, helpful message
  • Join one online community where your clients are active, and start participating


Week 3: Build Trust With Real Proof

  • Offer a beta round of your service to 1–3 people and ask for feedback
  • Track and document the results: screenshots, before/afters, quotes
  • Request a testimonial and get permission to use it in your marketing


Week 4: Create a System You Can Repeat

  • Review what worked and what gave you energy

Set up a simple weekly rhythm:

  • Send 3 direct messages
  • Post 1 helpful piece of content
  • Complete 1 project or deliverable
  • Share or collect 1 testimonial
  • Celebrate and publicly share one small win
