Anik shares the powerful insight that first-time founders obsess over their product, while second-time entrepreneurs focus on distribution - and this shift in mindset can completely transform your results.Anik opens up about his journey rebuilding after facing significant challenges with the FTC, and how this forced him to completely rethink his business model. Rather than trying to immediately return to his previous $40 million company size, he had to step back and ask himself the critical question: "What am I willing to do for the next 20 years?"We dive deep into the concept of distribution - finding partners and channels that already have access to your ideal audience rather than trying to build everything yourself. Anik explains how he's now giving away equity freely to partners who bring distribution, completely contrary to his approach in his first 20 years in business. This shift has allowed his events like Expert Summit to fill faster than ever before.For those running webinars, Anik shares three game-changing tactics that have increased his sales by over 30%.Whether you're just starting out or rebuilding after setbacks, this conversation offers a refreshingly honest look at what it really takes to succeed in today's marketing landscape.
