You know how most service businesses struggle to launch because they can't generate enough cash? It's a constant battle between getting new clients and charging a rate that doesn't scare them away. Charge too much and no one buys. But charge too little and you're doing almost free work. That's not the strategy to a successful company. Imagine instead that you had an offering that was generating a ton of cash. There's no trade-off between sales and price. You're the premium offering and everyone knows it. They hand over the cash to you gladly to buy what you're selling. In addition, you're not killing yourself with loads of work you don't get paid for. In fact, you've designed your business in a way that pays you even when you're not working. I want to show you how. In this course, we're going to cover how to design a High-Ticket Program - the perfect "sweet spot" between product and service that allows you to work like it's a product, but get paid like it's a service. We cover: What you need to get started What is a High-Ticket Program? Business models that work, and those that don't How to price your services Creating a "big outcome" that your customers desperately want Designing a process that makes you the expert and the obvious choice for your customer Scaling delivery so you don't run out of time with just a few customers How to ensure your customer actually gets results with your program The course is designed in a case-study format. We'll be using 3 different types of businesses throughout so you can see exactly how each of these principles is applied. You'll also have a self-guided implementation project where you apply these principles to your own business, step-by-step just like we cover in the course. At the end, you'll have the outline of a High-Ticket Program that will drive cash into your business and value to your customers. Because a successful business generates both: value and cash.

In this course Growing Your Business , we look at the stages of growth that a business goes through and the corresponding challenges during each stage. A growing business represents its own unique challenges that many people often don't think about. Many small businesses dream of growth – increased sales turnover, increased customers etc., but unless the company is geared to handle that growth – the company may find the whole operation could be at risk because they simple 'can't handle' it. This situation is called 'over trading'. We look at where you are now, and how the growth framework (which is a method whereby your business could grow exponentially) works and we look at ways and ideas in which the business could grow. A few simple changes – could result in huge increases. Simple, measureable changes. We discuss the ways to manage the process because a growing business requires more resources and expertise to manage it. We look at 10 key issues when growth is present and how these issues can be resolved. There's different stakeholders within an organization who are all impacted when growth occurs. We explore various sources of finance – how to fund this growing business – whether it's through other peoples time or other peoples money. A work booklet is included for you to fill in. The course will take about 1 - 2 hours to complete. You watch the module and then fill in the workbook to apply to your own business situation. If you are studying business at college, or if you are an owner/ manager of a growing business or if you have an interest in business growth – then you'll enjoy this course. We mix some textbook theory with some very practical examples. You'll have very strong ideas to take away which will help you to grow your own organization.
