Stop Building Your Dream Offer (Do This Instead If You Need Clients)
In this episode, I’m sharing a realization that completely reframed how I think about helping early-stage service providers. After reviewing applications from people who want to work with me, I noticed a pattern: many entrepreneurs are trying to build their dream offer before they’ve proven they can consistently get clients. So I’m breaking down the simple framework I’d focus on if I needed to get from $0 to consistent cash flow fast—including what I’m calling the $100 test and why traction has to come before strategy.
