🎙 Steve is joined by John Williams, the author of ‘F**k Work Let’s Play: Do What You Love & Get Paid for It.’ Together, they discuss how to create a systemised approach. This approach helps identify profitable business ideas. These are the tasks that you enjoy while getting paid.
The discussion also focuses on idea formulation, marketing, selling, and establishing a profitable business that’s also pleasurable to operate.
KEY TAKEAWAYS: Creating a Systemised Approach to Profitable Business Ideas
- There is a problem with perfectionism. People often feel anxious about things being exactly right. This anxiety stops them from taking action.
- There are many sectors and markets to conquer. Willingness and keenness are only part of what you need. Establishing your brand is crucial. It also involves identifying what makes your voice unique in that space.
- To create leads in the short term, we must run effective campaigns. These campaigns should foster a strong connection with people. They should also showcase our skills and expertise. Ideally, they will provide an interactive experience.
- When starting, focus on your chosen sector. Establish category creation in a small niche. This approach positions you as an expert to potential clients.
BEST MOMENTS: Profitable Business Ideas- Identifying What Fits You
“People prevaricate far too much because they feel everything has to be perfect”
“What are you bringing to that idea beyond just the idea?”
“The most successful people don’t have five days to give to you”
“That’s the power of category creation – if you can zoom in and ask how you can super-niche within a sub-category”

ABOUT THE HOST
Steve used to be a slave to his business, but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change how he worked. He switched to running his businesses remotely, and after totally nailing this concept, he decided to spend his time helping other small business owners do the same. Steve has been investing in property since 2002, has a degree in computing, and worked as a doctor in the NHS before quitting to focus full-time on sharing his systems and outsourcing methodology with the world. He now lives in Sweden and runs his UK-based businesses remotely with the help of his team of Filipino and UK-based Virtual Assistants.
Most business owners are overwhelmed because they don’t know how to create systems or get the right help.
Our systems and outsourcing Courses and coaching programme will help you automate your business and work effectively with affordable virtual assistants. That way, you will stop feeling overwhelmed and start making more money.
