It’s easier than ever before to start a new business.

  • Create a free landing page with Carrd
  • Write your sales page
  • Add Calendly and Stripe links
  • Post about it on social media

That’s it — you have a business. You can tell the world about your products and services, and they can book meetings with you, or buy your products.

Anyone can do it.

That means there’s no barrier to entry.

I see tons of entrepreneur gurus talk about how to start a side business over the weekend. That’s possible, but you won’t build anything exceptional overnight.

If it was really that simple, we’d see tons of new businesses started every single day.

There’s more to it than creating a basic website that allows people buy stuff from you. 20% of new businesses fail within the first year, and only 25% of businesses last 15 years or more.

The odds aren’t in your favor.

If you want to build a sustainable, successful business you’ll need to do quite a bit of thinking, strategizing, planning, and executing.
