This episode is packed with practical, real-world examples and advice. KEY TAKEAWAYS No matter what your passion is in life, you'll be able to find a way to monetize it and build it into a business Every journey is a sequence of steps, and you just have to keep on taking those as little actions. Pick 3 things to do each day that will move your business forward. When you do that you will be amazed at how fast you grow. Manifestation keeps you focused and planning for the long-term. Not being realistic about marketing costs when pricing your product is a big mistake. Initially, become an expert on one social media channel. Modern advertising is about stopping the scroll. You have to do something different and stand out from your direct competitors. Invest in your marketing. Don´t delay turning your idea into a business. Start small if you need to. Start by creating free social content so you can learn what stops people from scrolling. Something you can use to build a successful ad. Use the platform data. It will quickly tell you who your audience actually is. Often, you will be surprised by who your main type of customer is. To increase the chances of your ads being seen on social use similar language as your bigger competitors. Companies that offer a subscription-based service are much more valuable than those that sell a one-off product. Subscriptions also help with cashflow.  BEST MOMENTS “I´m visualising turning my top line (this year´s revenue) into my bottom line.” “I am a great believer in ying and yang.
