Summary
Not every business model is a good place to start - especially if this is your first business. In this episode, I’m breaking down three business models I personally wouldn’t recommend for beginners and three I believe give you a much better opportunity to start making progress. I get into dropshipping, crypto and MLMs, why certain business models can be harder than they appear online and what I’d be looking for instead if I were starting from scratch today. I also share what building multiple seven-figure businesses and working with thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs has taught me about choosing the right opportunity in the first place. Because you don’t just need a business idea. You need a business model that actually makes sense for you. Ready to start building?
