43 Not sure which direction to take your business in?

Published on: 28th November, 2022

Everyone has an opinion and way of doing things.

I love the Tutors' Mastermind which is a membership model, people pay monthly and can cancel any time.


But someone else might prefer running courses or they might prefer to have a membership model that ties people in for a certain length of time. 


I consciously made the decision to do things my way for various reasons, and in this episode, I’m checking in with you to make sure that you're also making conscious decisions. 


So, If you’re ready to gain clarity on where to take your business or identify why you’re struggling to decide, then have a listen!


Here's what I unpack:

  1.  Working backwards from what you want out of your business
  2.  Being clear on the problem you business solves for clients
  3.  Seeking support from people who share your values
  4.  Future-proofing your business so it's sustainable


Enjoy :-)
