Get ready to look at what used to work for you, dust off something you've been missing, and find a way to bring it back into your life.

The shift that can lead to better ideas and breakthroughs without working more

- 15 minutes 29 secondsNobody Pays For Information Anymore: Here's What They WILL Pay For
What if the business model that made you successful last year is already becoming obsolete? I recently joined a call with some incredibly successful entrepreneurs to give feedback on a proven business owner's new idea. The concept sounded valuable, but almost everyone on the call saw the same major problem: AI had already made the information he wanted to sell available for virtually free.
In this episode, I break down the feedback we gave him and the lens I believe every entrepreneur needs to run their business through right now. I share why people are increasingly paying for implementation instead of information, how to determine whether your business has a real "moat" that AI and competitors can't easily replicate, and why I believe the human experience and human connection economy represents a massive opportunity. You'll learn how to combine your existing expertise with experiences, relationships, and implementation to create something customers will still happily invest in, even as AI changes the rules of business faster than ever.
HIGHLIGHTS
-
The business test that reveals whether AI could make your current offer obsolete.
-
What customers are willing to pay for now that information is becoming virtually free.
-
How to make your business harder for AI and competitors to copy.
-
How to know whether you're building a lifestyle business or something with true enterprise value.
-
The shift that can turn an easily copied idea into an offer customers actually want.
-
Where customers are increasingly investing their dollars as AI accelerates.
-
How to use the expertise you already have to compete in the human connection economy.
