Okay, then. Joined PYOB a couple of days ago. I have what I need and now I'm off to @Brian O'Neill's Mindset Skool. This seems fast but I had the idea to start an online business back around 2008(?). Back then I started a blog. When I realized I needed more skills I quit the blog. That was dumb. I'd been growing an audience and had regular readers I was interacting with. But, not having any experience with how much time growing a blog back then could take, I thought I wasn't doing well. Man! When I think what that could have become had I stuck with it. Still shaking my head about that. Glossing over the intervening years: I've been buying courses, starting courses, quitting courses, getting coaching, struggling with the wrong approaches, yada, yada, and so on. As an interesting aside I bought Sam Ovens' original Consulting(dot)com offer back in 2016 but didn't implement fully. Sam has since sold that and started the platform we're on right now. So, plenty of time between my initial fantasy of creating an online empire and today. Definitely not all wasted years (I learned alot about myself and the online world) but more of a cautionary tale than one of inspiration, as far as building an online business. That's the point of this post. Make better choices than I ended up making. Take what Brian is teaching here in PYOB and execute. You can't think your way to the online business you want. Even poorly executed steps are infinitely better than perfectly polished thoughts that move nothing forward. Hope to read about your success very soon. Cheers. PS: After typing all this out I considered hitting <delete>. It's the way my mind works at times. Probably a big part of the reason I haven't managed to move forward in this domain over the years. 🤔 Had the idea to share this, then my brain said, "I'm not so sure this is a good idea." Only by hitting <POST> will I find out. There's a lesson in that and so...

One of the biggest reasons people stay stuck is simple. They don’t know which type of online business actually fits them. So they spend months bouncing between ideas…trying a little coaching, watching a few course videos, testing a digital product…and never getting traction with any of them. Here’s the simplest way to think about the 3 most common online business models and how to know which one is right for YOU: 1️⃣ Coaching (1:1 or group) Best for you if you: - Like talking to people - Enjoy teaching or guiding step-by-step - Want the fastest path to your first customer - Don’t mind being on Zoom Avoid this if you hate being “on stage.” 2️⃣ Online Courses Best for you if you: - Prefer to teach once and let people learn on their own - Have a process you can break into steps - Want something scalable without adding more hours - Like creating videos or structured lessons Avoid this if you struggle to organize your thoughts. 3️⃣ Digital Products (PDFs, templates, guides) Best for you if you: - Want something simple and fast to launch - Prefer writing over talking - Have repeatable knowledge you can package - Don’t want to be on camera Avoid this if you want deep 1:1 interaction. 👇 POLL: Which one feels like the best fit for YOUR skills and personality? (Coaching / Courses / Digital Products) After you vote, drop a comment: What made you choose that option? I’ll reply and help you narrow it down.

If you're here, it's because you want to start an online business but you're not sure which one is right for you. You're in the right place. I'm Brian. I spent 25 years in corporate sales, tried 26 different side hustles, and wasted years going in circles before I figured out what actually works. I built this community so you don't have to do the same. Here's what we do here: We help you stop spinning, pick the right idea, and start moving in the right direction without wasting months going down the wrong path. That's it. One problem. One solution. Here's what to do first: The #1 mistake people make when they join is skipping straight to research mode. Don't do that. Instead, go to the classroom and start with Step 0. It takes less than 5 minutes and it does something research never does... it forces a decision. 👉 Click here to start Step 0 Once you've done that, come back to the community and drop your idea in the Step 0 post. I personally read every single one and I'll respond. A few things worth knowing: You don't need a perfect idea. You need a starting point. You don't need to have it all figured out. You need to take one step. And if you've tried this before and stopped, that's not a character flaw. There's a reason it keeps happening and we deal with that here too. Introduce yourself below if you'd like. Tell me who you are, what you've tried, and what kind of life you're trying to build. I read everything. Welcome aboard. - Brian 🔥
