How to Build a Real Business
Craig Chavis Jr., MBA
Chief Operations and Strategy Officer at the Green Sports Alliance Foundation
This past week, my membership - the Solo CEO Club - grew by over 305% (from 20 students to 81); which is absolutely insane!
And even though the membership was already profitable, now it's single-handedly paying for ALL of my business expenses.
Now, all the additional revenue from my other consulting contracts, book royalties, and private coaching is pure profit that I can invest, save, or spend on whatever I want (like traveling to Panama, where I've been for the last week).
This feeling of experiencing financial independence is quite euphoric and it's something that I've been chasing for over a year.
Not months.
Not weeks.
Not days.
But for over a year.
And the reasons why I achieved this financial growth in my business are twofold:
?You see, any real business takes time to build.
And this information goes against all the crap and overnight success stories that are plaguing the internet, such as:
?
"Grow your business to 6 or 7 figures in 90 days or less"
"Live your dream life and only work 4 hours a day"
"Just think positive and you can manifest anything"
And on and on...
A real business is more than filing paperwork.
A real business is?more than calling yourself a creator (coach, course creator, entrepreneur, or however you self-identify).
And a real business is much?more than making a couple of dollars every blue moon.
?
That's because in order to have a real business, you must have a?system that consistently generates profits for a minimum of 12 consecutive months.
Building a real business is a long game.

And, if you don't take the time to establish a solid foundation, you will fall victim to dishonest scammers, get-rich-quick schemes, and money-wasting shiny objects.?

Trust me, everything I am telling you comes from over 17 years of first-hand entrepreneurial experience.
I've been where you want to go, and if you want to learn how to build a real business, then I recommend that you also join the?Solo CEO Club.
The first membership level costs less than a cup of coffee and after you become a member, you'll get access to all of the knowledge that I've accumulated.
And I know that some of you may be skeptical.
And I also know that some of you may want to?keep on doing everything by yourself.
But, don't believe all the hype that successful creators build their businesses alone.
As I mentioned before, I too had help and I am so thankful that I had the courage and humility to ask for it.
Because without the help of others, I would not be where I am today.
Remember, it takes time to build a real business.
I am a living, breathing testimony of this truth.
And if you want to build a real business too, I am here to help you do that!
?
Until next time.
