Welcome to this week’s Biz Starter 🚀Newsletter!

Can you believe it's almost the end of the year?

Take a minute to look back—what are your wins, big or small, from 2023?

Whether it's hitting a business milestone, learning something new, or even mastering work-life balance (kudos if you did!), let's celebrate those victories together! 🥳 

The last two weeks have been exciting. Here are some of the highlights:

✅Hosted another live event Client Getting.

✅Black Friday shopping for the first time in a decade.

✅ Launched the Slack Community for our Elite Partners.

✅ Over 250 entrepreneurs have signed up for our 5-Day Business Bootcamp in 30 days, with over half opting for the Pro plan.

As you approach the end of the year, consider the following:

Reimagine Your Offers: If you offer high-cost services, create low-cost services, digital products, and subscription-based models.

👆 This is one of the reasons why I started the BizStarter Hub.​

Nurture Your Clients: Instead of focusing only on bringing in new clients, create a strategy to keep your current clients returning for more.

Diversify Your Income: Build multiple streams of income. Start a YouTube channel, add affiliate marketing, and spice things up if you offer services by adding info products or templates.

🔨Top Tool of the Week

beehiiv — The newsletter platform built for growth

Access the best tools available in email, helping your newsletter scale and monetize like never before.

It’s been almost a year since we switched this newsletter from Convertkit to Beehive. I know many people use LinkedIn for their newsletter, but with that option, you don’t own your email list; LinkedIn does. The goal should always be to get your audience and ideal clients off the platforms.

After exploring various alternatives, I eventually chose Beehiiv because it bundles together growth tools, customization options, and a dashboard, all neatly wrapped in a user-friendly experience. If you've been contemplating launching a newsletter, there's no better platform or ideal moment than now. You can try Beehiiv completely free; no credit card is necessary.

⏳Until Next Time

That’s it for this Tuesday’s Issue #51. Thank you so much for reading The Biz Starter❤️. I welcome your thoughts, so feel free to hit reply.
