I won’t spoil it for you, but here’s a snippet of her wisdom:

Until they master cloning, you can’t scale your live workshops and profit.

I’ve had the pleasure of running many workshops that I absolutely loved. Even so, I was capped at the number of training days I could physically do each month.

Anyone who trades time for money has this limit, and in addition to limiting your revenue, it can also make you susceptible to the small business ‘feast or famine’ cycle.
