This week we are going to replay one of our favorite episodes of all time, with a little bit extra thrown in for good measure. This episode has had a great impact on a lot of our listeners. Of all of the episodes we have recorded, this one has probably helped people improve their businesses the most.

Listen to this week's show and learn:

  • Why your mini-monopoly in brick and mortar won’t translate online, and what you can do about it.

  • Dan and Ian’s “Layering the Cake” model that multiplies your income from every customer.

  • How getting 100 people to pay you $1 per day can sometimes trump the 1,000 true fan model.

  • How to flip the triangle and transform clients into fans instead of fans into clients, and why that’s better for you.

  • A productized business as an approach to the 10 True Clients business model.
