Growing and scaling an online business when you're just getting started.

 

• Be focused
• Build community
• Learn pain points
• Be relatable by sharing your story and talking about the market's pain points 
   

How to grow and scale with a 9 to 5?

Sell a product without a service by creating a stream of passive income. Libby created a course. She was able to make money so she could spend her time marketing and talking about her market pain points. The process of talking about pain points and providing a solution became a passive stream of income. 
 

Secondly, she provided private coaching. However, supply and demand go into effect. The more she was in demand, the more she increased the price of coaching because it required her time.
 

Then she transformed private coaching into a mastermind. Then she was able to take more clients and make more money with less time.
 

Libby invested in herself and her business, like her clients invested in her. Personal growth is a key component to success. Therefore, she has a mentor and works with mentees.
