  • Real Talk : Do you *Really* Need a Business Plan?
    If you've been chugging along working on your business (without a business plan) slow your roll for ~15 minutes and listen up.

In today's conversation, you'll learn exactly what you should avoid when putting together your business plan (or a roadmap if you think the term "business plan" sounds too scary) how to prove out your business model through bootstrapping and the best way to understand if there is ENOUGH people out there who are willing to pay money for your solution.

    Have you ever thought about setting fire to your current content strategy? Like how Stripe and pals set Dorry's Tavern ablaze? (*gremlins and hooch everywhere*)

    PRESS PLAY to learn how to create content for your business that will actually help you land more clients, why your content always – ALWAYS – need to go back to your audience, how to create dynamite case studies through storytelling, how to format your content as bite-sized episodes as a part of a larger series (spoiler alert: we talk about Friends and Jerry Maguire in this episode)
