For the past 1 years, Inc. 5 CEO and #1 national best-selling author, Ryan Levesque--featured for his work in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Forbes, and Entrepreneur--has guided thousands of entrepreneurs through the journey of answering this question. One of the biggest reasons why so many new businesses fail is because in the quest to decide what business to start, most of the conventional wisdom is wrong. Instead of obsessing over what-as in what should you sell or what should you build-you should first be asking who. As in who should you serve? The what is a logical question that will come soon enough. But choosing your who is the foundation from which all other things are built. That is what this audio is all about. If you've ever had the dream to start your own business, become your own boss, or do your own thing-but have been afraid to take the leap and screw up your already good life-this audio is for you. You will find the meticulously tested, step-by-step process outlined in the audio is easy to follow, despite being the result of a decade of research and experience. This process, designed to minimize your risk of failure and losing money up front, coupled with the inspiring stories of everyday people who have used this process to launch successful businesses, will not only give you clarity on what type of business to start, but also the confidence to finally take that leap and get started.This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.

Powerful

Ryan covered an interesting area often missed or left unanswered when teaching entrepreneurship especially start-up.
How do I align my personality with my ventures and knowing what to do before the launch.
Great book and narration.

Powerful Framework - Wish it was written sooner!

I don't usually write reviews... however I "read" [ok, ok, you got me, I actually listen] to so many marketing books that my Audible Platinum credits are never enough to last a full year...

To start, I thought this book would be too basic... However, Ryan Levesque deliver above what I expected. He shares a powerful framework to create a strong foundation for an online education business.

What's so powerful about the framework Ryan shares?
It asks the reader to make key business decisions based on the facts and factors that actually matter to choose:

- the right people to serve [the WHO]
- the right business model
- the right type of product
- the right market size
- the right pricing

The biggest complaint I have is that I wish this book had been available sooner...

Had I known then, what I know now, life would have been easier for me, and many others...

- I would have avoided going into a market that was too big... yes, both my bank account, and my confidence took a toll when the business I started failed because I had done all the things, and I still couldn't make it work. My canoe was overtaken with huge waves in the gigantic ocean.

- I would have helped other entrepreneurs who were struggling because they were in markets that were tiny... No matter how much effort we put into rowing, there wasn't enough water or current to continue the momentum.

And yet, it's never too late!

If you are thinking of starting an online education business (from scratch or to supplement your offline business), you MUST read this book... it will help you avoid costly mistakes.

If you already have an online education business, you MUST read this book... it will help you improve your positioning in your current market... or you might decide to pivot to a completely different market if you find out the market you're currently in isn't going to work regardless of how much time you put in.

I know this is a book I'll be recommending again and again!
