The three paths

Three ways to start a real business.

Only one of them doesn't waste your money or your year.

Path one

The course / mentorship

Pay $2,000–$10,000+

  • Months of video lessons you'll never finish
  • Constant upsells to the "next level mastermind"
  • Generic advice that doesn't fit your situation
  • Coaches who've never run the business themselves
  • You finish 4 modules, then quit
Average outcome: $0 in revenue, $5K out of pocket.
Path two

Do it yourself

Free, but expensive

  • Stitching together 100 YouTube videos
  • Reading Reddit threads with conflicting advice
  • Guessing at pricing, scope, contracts
  • 8 months in, still no clients
  • Burnout, then back to your day job
Average outcome: $0 in revenue, 1 year lost.
Recommended
Path three
