The Philip Wride Show

If you are thinking of setting up your own online business, or you've just started, there are 4 key considerations that will help set you up for success.

Being an entrepreneur and building your own business means being different. 

Your goals and dreams are bigger.

You have a desire to build something great.

And mindset plays a big part in being able to get up every morning and take the actions you need to take to move forwards.

I've listened to coaches, taken courses and read books and a lot of them want you to focus in a specific direction or build a specific type of business.

But the internet means you can be anyone and sell anything to anyone.

The 4 tips I go through in this episode will help you start to chart your own path in a way that feels right for you.

We each have our own unique stories as we go through life - the things we've done, seen and experienced. In this episode I'm flipping the script by sharing an interview I did with Jeff Bullas for his podcast - The Jeff Bullas Show. Jeff asks about how I got started as an entrepreneur, the highs and lows I've experienced over the years, and why I'm making the switch from an agency model to focusing on creating assets and resources. We also touch on my experience of closing a business, how we can learn from everything we do, and how that has shaped my thinking over the years. Finally, Jeff asks me for my thoughts and tips for anyone started a new "side hustle". -- Looking to find more freedom in your life by freeing up time or creating your own online business?

Then I touch on some recognisable identities in my world including Funnel Hackers and why I'm helping people take on the identity of Freedom Hunter.

Finally, I give some thoughts on ways to adopt a new identity and how that can build your level of consistency. -- Looking to find more freedom in your life by freeing up time or creating your own online business?  Get 5 free chapters of my bestselling book "Finally Find Freedom" by joining the community at https://www.philipwride.com

In this episode I explore the importance of leverage and how it can help you work less and earn more in your business.

After going through the challenge of having 50% of my agency business disappear overnight due to the COVID lockdowns, and the feast and famine of project work, I'm now focused on transitioning my business to have more assets that I can leverage. I'd been aware of what leverage was for a while but it's only in the second half of 2023 that I made the decision to really invest in building my business in a way where my time investment was heavily weighted towards creating assets that I could re-use and have multiple clients or customers use at the same time.

During this episode I outline 5 different business models, how much leverage they provide, and how you can use them if you are just starting to create your own project or business. 

I also talk about how the creation of assets, tools and resources can help free up your time if you have an existing business so you can get more done in less time.
