How Do I Expand outside My Local Area and Go Online?

I've got Debbie Tringale on the show today, a dog training expert with a very special superpower, or "unfair advantage" as I like to call it. But her business is very location-based, and she mainly caters to local people. How can she transition her services online, gather a following, and create revenue streams for her new online business? Find out more about Debbie at MeandMyDogs.biz. In this episode I talk about idea validation, which I cover extensively in my book, Will It Fly? I also mention a book by a good friend of mine, Chris Ducker, called Rise of the Youpreneur. It's got a lot of great information in it about building a personal brand, and various models and offerings you could use in your business.
