How to Add More Revenue Variety to Your Plate

…mixing up a tasty revenue blend🥣

Hey there, Biz Starter! Woohoo! We’re 40! Welcome to Issue #40!

If you were celebrating July 4th last week in the U.S., I hope you had a fun day. The same goes for my Canadian friends from last weekend!

Just as fireworks captivate attention and create a memorable spectacle on Independence Day, businesses must strategically position themselves with unique offers and get the attention of customers.

There was a time when talking to someone about doing business with me seemed so intimidating and, quite frankly, downright terrifying.

I had no positioning power.

Maybe you’re a hopeful entrepreneur with dreams bigger than your fears, but you’re paralyzed at the thought of putting yourself out there.

Positioning is like the seasoning in your marketing dish. Without it, everything else will taste bland. You’ll definitely need to master it before you expand your revenue streams.

Imagine trying to hit a bullseye 🎯without knowing where the target is. If you can't explain how your business solves a problem or improves your clients' lives and master business positioning, your marketing and lead generation will not be effective.

You can still build a business, but it will be an uphill battle, my friend.

Don’t worry! Marketing your business becomes easy once you've figured out your target market, their wildest dreams, and the problems draining their bank accounts.

And the best part? With clear positioning power, people won't just come knocking on your door; they'll be chasing you down like a pack of hungry wolves chasing a meat truck. Then you can begin the fun journey of bringing revenue variety to your plate!

Now, let’s get into this week’s tips, ideas, resources, and the latest news!
